You know what that makes me think of? The Angry Beavers. watched that show sometimes when I was little and was really interested in their mailing servicee. Gosh, that's an idea, we could just use something like that to send everything XD I actually put that into my article. I thought it'd be the best way of communication. I also thought about transportation and thought about magical teleport areas run by special faeries. They're only for long distances though.

I have a quick question - is time travel allowed? Like, theoretically, can Bluey go back to the 1930s type era, with all the mobsters and prohibition and everything? Time travel is okay. However, the topic you are refering to is something that took place on Earth not Neopia. So you'll need to be careful what you write.

I have a BIG HUGE MAJOR question that is really bothering me, and worrying me. One of my pets, my aisha Merato to be exact is in fact a cat. I created his character like a year and a half ago when the times was really different, and just didn't move to write my main account story because I wanted to finish my zafara assassin series first. Anyways, I know that that would be a no no just the way it is most likely. Anyways, I want to know if I could get a series with him in if I am very careful on how I write it. You know not really say that he's a cat, but more like a different aisha. I have a huge story planned and I just don't want to spend three months writing it to have everything blow up in my face. I've been trying to think of a way to get this story to work. Originally I would have had many-an-earth reference in the very beginning that would not in a million years be accepted, so I've been brainstorming ideas for it. Right now I'm thinking of introducing him as an aisha missing stalk ears with a different color scheme than Mera had ever seen before. I might use the word cattish to throw in hints, but I'll try and describe him like he's an unusual aisha. And to explain how he got to Neopia, I'll try and say it in such a way that he doesn't really remember where he had been before *magic of Neopia transformed him so he could talk and such* and it'll be marked out that he is different, but it won't specify the major reason why he's different. Would that be okay? I am really really worried on how this will work. I can't completely change his character because it would really mess with the plot I have set up in my head *which took eons to get good* but I can try and work in a way that won't break the rules. I just wanted to see if that is acceptable. Or if I need to work harder at it It really depends how you describe him. You would probably have to be really vague.

Are male Faeries allowed? Kiddo got hers rejected because of a male Faerie but they're not on your list... I've managed to write male Faeries into my imagined history of Neopia and a lot of my stories refer back to that. Would it be OK if I made it clear male Faeries only existed in Neopia's past? Then it wouldn't interfere with the vision of Neopia nowadays. Thanks for explaining this. Not until male Faeries exist on the site.

Mmm.. are speakers (as in the Neopet's ones) okay? I used them in my article. Also, are security guards okay? Yes, that's fine because those are things on the site.

That statement of hers confused me, but after thinking over it, I think she meant different galaxies from the one that Earth is in, not the one that Neopia is in. Well, let's say you want to make a story that takes place in a place called Volcanic Mountains. That doesn't exist in Neopia, so you would say it's in a planet called Volcan or something like that. You can mention Earth in stories if the owner is refering to where they are from but it should not be where the story takes place.

Ah, and Snowflake, characters are allowed to be in the hospital, right? Yes, of course.

I'm iffy about this: fluorescent lights. Would that be too much technology? This goes out to Snowflake, or anyone else who might know. Eh, I don't think it's a big deal.

So... you couldn't have a story about characters discovering a new world on the planet of Neopia? If it's not already a part of the site, it has to be a totally different planet?

I have another random question. I woke up this morning and heard a trains whistle and suddenly thought... are trains allowed in Neopia? This doesn't affect me in the least bit, but I'm still curious =^_^= No, I don't think they would be.

This is a really strange question, but seeing as we can't put Earth in our stories, can we use Earth Faeries?

You could discover a new land in Neopia as well. You just couldn't discover parts of our solar system. For example, a spaceship from the Space Station wouldn't be allowed to "discover" Mars, or Neptune...

Are stories in the form of journals allowed? I've never seen a journal-style story in the Times (please correct me if I'm wrong). Are they banned for some reason, or just unusual?
