I might have a series run through this. If not, I'll write something new!

Proposed title of entry: Secret Surprising Reunions Type of entry: Article Short description: Neopia is a big place filled with many characters. While you can generally group certain characters together who would have a reunion, there are some secret reunions with a collection of characters you wouldn't expect to meet up every year. It's time we find these Secret Surprising Reunions and shed some light on how they started...

Hmm, I have a story that briefly mentions a family reunion (actually, two siblings), but it's not a major plot point. However, as it's early, I haven't quite decided yet.

Currently working on a story involving a class reunion at Brightvale University.

Sign me up! A short story, as always. Doe is going to meet up with an old friend, and things will explode.

As of now, I'm down for a comic (which is most likely what I'm going to do, but I'm not going to rule out a story or an article).
As always, I'm helping bump the boards. ^^ I'll have to ask Scrappy if she'd be willing to give this a shout out in the Editorial like she did with In the Sky. If I come up with something else that'll help advertise the collab, I'll be sure to mention it here (or to Scrappy, depends on how I come up with the idea).

I actually DO have a Short Story that I started working on a couple years ago that I never finished that MIGHT be able to work for this collab? Reason I say "might" is that it doesn't really have a reunion in it, but more deals with the aftermath of said reunion, as well as a discussion about the separation between two characters. Do you think that's perhaps a bit too thin on adhering to the theme, Carolyn ? If it is and you'd rather have entries that follow it more heavily, then it won't break my heart any. I originally wrote the story for Father's Day, but it could work for just about any Issue, really.

Blueysicle Not Carolyn, but I'm the coordinator that's online at the moment. Dealing with the aftermath of a reunion should be fine; this collab theme isn't meant to be too strict. Basically the rule is that it should have something to do with a reunion (or a celebration, but reunions don't have to be celebratory) as its main theme; it doesn't have to be the reunion itself, and from what you've said you have that covered. If you'd rather wait from a answer from Carolyn herself before being put in the bookeeping post, that's perfectly fine, but she'll likely greenlight this too.

Ditto what Moni said. I've often encouraged all interpretations of the theme as it allows for a more diverse collection of stories and comics. My dreams and nightmares story was about a character who is trying to follow her dream to be a scientist.

This one sounds interesting to me! Even though I've only had one entry published in the Neopian Times, I still do have numerous ideas, some of which could lend themselves to either one of these two themes, particularly the reunion theme. In fact, this actually inspired me to begin writing out my ideas again now, so props to this collab for inspiring me to do so.
Unfortunately I have yet to work out many details of the story, but it will most likely be a series of a yet-to-be-determined length (although I am contemplating perhaps submitting a comic in one issue in addition to the series). I will get back in touch once I can supply a description for the story.

Wow, this seems like a great opportunity to revive a set of series that began with my very first NT publication, over ten years ago! It was titled "Adventures in Brightvale: Book I" and that's all I ever wrote, just Book I. So, I propose "Adventures in Brightvale: Book II," where Meadowbuck goes back to Brightvale Academy for a class reunion! I could even revive the other characters in the story, Sproingal and Lady Oakridge.
Oh uhhhh let's do this officially:
Proposed title of entry: Adventures in Brightvale: Book II Type of entry: Short story, or 2-3 part series Short description: Meadowbuck heads back to Brightvale Academy for his 10-year class reunion. Collaborator? Nope
