Last of my short story reviews: Neopian Mix-ups by reverbir—This was really, really, really confusing. Jhudora’s New Slave by twayblade807—Sorry, but I don’t have time to read 11 stories just to read this…I’ll have to leave it to someone who either has the time or has already read them. The PetPet Zoo by hexxxie—This was a cute story. It had a couple of minor errors, though. Overall, I really liked it! The Case of the Royal Neopian by leb388—This was a really, really great story, Beth! (Although I have to wonder who’d name a pet “Lithium”…. :  Shelly and the Glamour Neggs by battlesunn—This was a really good and original story! |

I think you missed the point. I'm not trying to focus on Boochi as much as I was trying to focus on the stupidity of the baby Pteri. That's actually what the baby Pteri looks like. And by the way, I've given up german.  Man, you're all a bunch of wussies. I re-did my shop like I was supposed to, regardless of the fact that I'd sent it in for gallery spotlight. |

I'll do some of the article reviews, but you'll have to excuse my somewhat harsh criticism. I'll try to give people constructive suggestions on what to work rather than just praise. Nothing personal, but I find it's more helpful, but rest assured that I do give compliments.  Heroes of Neopia: Sir Fufon Lui - I didn't care for this article much, and it might have been the interview that threw me off. The beginning started off almost like a short story, and I began to lose interest in the interview... I'm not much of a Chia fan either.  The Forgotten Faeries: The Battle and Island Faeries - I think this was a good subject, and there were some interesting points, but again, I wasn't very interested. Maybe I'm just tired today. It's a Gelert Eat Gelert World Out There - I liked this one. It really brought a new view on all those mutant foods. However, it seemed to be repeating itself a bit in the context. It's So Evil Being Green - I admit that I might be a bit biased on this one since green is my favourite colour. As was suggested, the article didn't have much of a point, but it seemed to me it was meant for humour. A Guide to Winning Trophies 2 Honestly, this isn't much of a guide. All it really does is give out the names and a little explanation assuming you will be able to get the trophy just by playing/submitting/etc. It would be better if there were some strategies or advice on how to succeed in getting the trophies. How to Get Into the Neopian Times (Articles) - Informative and the steps are broken down into easy, comprehensible explanations. Good for n00bs--I mean! I feel as though I've read a lot of these kind of guides, though. Jelly: A Yummy Wobbly Treat Or a Growing Menace? - It wasn't bad, but the prospect of a Jelly Paint Brush scares me. The organization of the article was a bit confusing. I'll continue with the rest later once I finish reading them. |

But I included the translation right under the german writing. Yes, but that would be taking the EASY way out... No, really, I figured I needed to practice my German somewhere, so I tried translating it just for fun. |

If you thought that was repetitive, don't bother reading Pity the Pickles. A bit too late. I actually read that one before starting the reviews. ;P Let's add some color. Neomail Etiquette III - This was a well-written article, but whether people will listen to it is another matter. Myths of the Neopian Pound - A simple article, but it was quite good. Perhaps because I haven't seen many adoption articles. Answers some good questions. Pity the Pickles - I think one of the bad things about a repeating article, is when the author says they're repeating themselves. o.O That's just my opinion. The article started off quite well, and I do agree that Mr. Pickles needs some more recognition. Learning In Neopia - This one was sort of interesting. Sometimes people are not aware of the connections to life. At least not consciously. My nitpick is the big chunk of words in the middle that could have been seperated into paragraphs. Well, that wraps up my article reviews. |

Lol, yeah, it was hard for me--not only was that my first ever article, but there's only so much you can write about not ignoring somebody and reading something, if you know what I mean. |
