Woohoo! I'm gonna try to jump in on this collab! I've been on sooooo seldom in the past 6 months or so, but I hope to keep my activity up a bit.
I think I'll write something to do with Meadowbuck, who is an archaeologist. His whole job involves investigating you know, old ruins and the mythos that surrounds them. I think it would be fun!

So, I think that I actually have something ready for this one?
It took forever and a day, but I finally managed to finish the sequel to The Tree of Pillar Grove. (Well, maybe not finished, since it does still need to be proofread and all that jazz) And there's a spoilery plot element that was thought to be a legend but turns out to be real and...
Well, okay. Its relation to the theme is kind of a stretch. But I'm hoping to get it ready to submit sometime this week. (I'll give it a proper summary once I do) It's a twelve part series, so if the collab is in early summer like you say, then it will probably run through it if it's accepted.

Whoops, almost missed this!
Hmm, what should I do... I'll see if I can't think up something over the weekend.

I'm still waiting on a reply from the editor about the collab date. Hmm... I may have to reach out to her again. Will update with any changes.

I'm still waiting on a reply from the editor about the collab date. Hmm... I may have to reach out to her again. Will update with any changes. I haven't neomailed the editor in quite a while, but according to kaddisti here, it's not very effective right now: ntwriters.proboards.com/post/2719738/threadI don't know, maybe you can send in a ticket as well? I don't know if they'll accept it for that, but it's worth a try. Jade also has a new account called tnt_jade that you could try, I suppose. nt_editor is still the best option, I think, but it might be helpful to try other options at the same time.

I'll try both and see which gets the reply faster, I suppose. Thanks for the info! I guess we'll plan for late July, early August at this point. *shrug*

I ended up emailing Scrappy and her reply on the collab is the following:
I would say August 16th. How does that sound, y'all?

August 16th should be plenty of advance notice for people to get their entries ready, so I'm all for it. I still have yet to hear back on my series. Checking the calendar, though, if it does get accepted and starts no earlier than next Friday, it will run through the collab.
Of course, with three months to go, I could see if I can whip up a short story that's a little more focused on the theme. (For what it's worth, I didn't ask that my series be published specifically for the collab - I'm just hoping that it'll run through it like I stated before. ) Though have the rules on people having more than one submission in the NT changed at all? I know that in the past a person's series would take a break for a week if that person had an Article, Short Story, or Comic published during its run, but I could've sworn I saw someone with two entries in one week not that long ago.

Usually it's one submission a person, but I've seen two in the same issue. I guess the editor would pick whichever the Neopian wanted to publish for that day.
And August 6 it is! I'll try to advertise when I'm able. WiFi is a bit spotty.

Apologies for the double post here--
I'm working on a military base doing bird stuff and the WiFi connection is really, really bad, lol. I'm gonna try to make some advertisement boards come early June, but I may need the help of anyone who is available to keep them bumped. ^^;
