Can we mention say two neopets, regardless of gender, have two kids? Like "Steve the quiggle and John the ixi have two sons who were 10 and 5". How much can we include LGBT?

LGBTQA, at least from what I've seen, is largely untreaded territory in the NT, so I don't know if there's a definitive answer to that. Saying that two Pets have kids shouldn't be an issue on its own, but as for the parents' genders, that might just have to be discovered through doing. I'd say it's worth a shot to try and see what happens; never hurts to experiment

So the NT doesn't allow pets to be portrayed as their real life counterparts, but would it be acceptable to have a scene were the protagonist rides the back of a Uni? Or would that not be allowed because of the rule?

Or would that not be allowed because of the rule? That's definitely been done before - just make sure the Uni is sapient and not treated as an animal (it can talk, think, is likely offering to be ridden for a fee or out of frienship or necessity ("oh my gosh we're never going to get there at this rate, hop on.", and probably no reins.) =)

It's also worth noting (I found this amusing) that if you write a uni pulling a carriage, you shouldn't give the carriage a driver. =D Droplet once edited out the driver of a uni-drawn carriage, I assume because Unis are sapient and can find their own dang way to the destination, ahahaha.

More questions!:
* What's Neo's policy about "monsters"? Would this be okay? (Or even describe 'shadow creatures' as being the shape of pets?)
* Is Shenkuu Neo's version of China, or is a mix of China, japan and other Asian countries?

Monsters are fine, there's lots of in universe examples of monsters. There's also Wraiths, which are already like shadow creature shaped. And in As Black as Ink, I do have a shadow creature who's not really in the shape of any Neopet at all. (Though he is very loosely based off my wraith jubjub.) I kind of got the impression that Shenkuu is just a sort of catch-all for everything Asian. Trying to base it off one particular place would just limit their creative freedom anyway, so they probably don't want to base it off anything too closely.

downrightdude- Shenkuu would be considered a mixture of Asians cultures, mirroring parts of the world where other people tend to lump Chinese, Japanese and/or other Asian cultures together into one group as it is hard to tell from physical looks. Hey, just check out the Exotic Food Shop (either the actually store or through Jellyneo's Item Database) and you can see the variety of Asian foods, ranging from Japanese (sushi), Korean (kimchee) and Chinese (fried rice/noodles). And yes, you can use (vaguely) Japanese names for your characters. The site itself has done so with a few items and site lore. Some examples include Ryshu the Nimmo (vaguely a Japanese name) and the petpet Kazeriu (Kaze translates to wind in Japanese, while Ryu is dragon in Japanese)

It's been a while since I've kept up with the NT, but reading the 800th, I noticed that a couple of comics were over the 470 pixel width requirement. Has that requirement been dropped or were there just exceptions made for NT 800? If it has been dropped, anyone know the new width requirement? Been thinking about getting back into the groove just for a bit.

There hasn't been any explicit rule change in comic width, no, but those over 470px have been getting accepted for a while now. I don't think that's ever been officially addressed, but the general guess I believe is that the selection for comics is much lower than sometimes the editor just goes with those that are wider.
So, technically no change in width requirement, but you can still probably get away with going over 470px.
