As I make this, I realize that last week the NT skipped an update =o Was this an announced thing for whatever reason, or did it just.... never update, without a word? I know the 4th happened that week, but it was a couple days before the NT should've updated, so I'm not sure why that would have caused any delay. Hmm... *thinking face*
Issue 834 Nuria gently lifted the Blumaroo off of her head and confirmed that he was indeed asleep. His baby-blue skin, which she had not been able to appreciate in the dark of the desert, shone under the full moon. The movement did not wake him, but he sighed in his sleep, flipping over in her arms. She smiled gently. The orphanage sat before them, a tall building sitting within a white spire. It was simple in its appearance, but it would do. She approached the doors and knocked them firmly with her fist. She could hear footsteps before they could so much as touch the door. Settling the Blumaroo down, she unbound her wings quickly and took off into the night.

Dunno if they just didn't get any questions worth answering, or if the questions they got were all pretty similar so they just answered them in one general announcement? But looks like hardtotame will have scheduled time slots that she'll be able to answer any questions people have on the boards, so that might be something interesting to check out or participate in =o |

I know the 4th happened that week, but it was a couple days before the NT should've updated, so I'm not sure why that would have caused any delay. Hmm... *thinking face* Ayep, it was mentioned in the news of July 7, without an explanation (I made a mental note to use the image they used for the newsblurb on the actual issue discussion thread sometime, because it was a really fun image xD Not sure if Pirates of the Caribbean reference, but I like to think it is.) This wasn't the first time they've just up and skipped an issue either; I could guess if it's either because of Jade and Scrappy being hella busy with other things due to having fingers in so many pies and the NT getting occasionally shuffled to the backburner for that reason. Or because they're straining to fill up issues these days; I've seen only one or two short stories in each issue for a fair few weeks now- -and while I was writing my post and checking this week's NT to back up my facts, WOAH HEY DUDE I know this image =D The sick green Aisha used in Snaw's short story was originally made for a series I had waytheheckback in issue 198 (hence its URL 198_sick_aisha.gif). That's Phila as a kid, before she grew up and got herself peroxide-bleached - I mean, painted white. Her roots still grow green. (poor girl, that feeling when you're leafing through the newspaper and see your embarrassing sick baby photo featured on someone else's story. Shame I can't turn that into a comic, nobody would get it.) Also, I'm pretty excited for hardtotame's scheduled press hours, both for the increased steady transparency it indicates and because I should try to catch her sometime to ask about the whole business with NT comic thumbnails getting eaten by the system. I get the feeling that it's otherwise not very high on their list of things to fix and it's the kind of problem that doesn't really show unless you know what to look for. |

 SO happy the story made it!! Since my computer crashed, I've lost it and was afraid it'll be lost in NT limbo forever. |
