Haha, Snowball Fight! is in but I'm not so keen on reviews, because it was a pretty pathetic article.  It's a guide for the game, but it's not really serious.  Anyway, Christmas Rock! Yay! |

Article ReviewsFor those who requested reviews...^^ The Art of Giving by shadowcristal. This has the feeling of a well-written article in one of those women's magazines (if not, craft magazines). ^^ I can almost see the author doing a demo on some arts and crafts show (or something to that effect). Anyway, I especially liked the part about what packaging to use and how to do the wrapping. It just seemed so real.  And, the "Art of Giving Away" section just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (while ROFFLING all the way). Nice job, Sia. ^^ 12 Pains of Christmas by brymax406. This was a good effort. ^^ I liked the idea right away and I started reading the article with my own ideas of the 12 Pains. Number 1 amused me. Number 2 made me nod my head. As the article progressed, however, I found myself looking for something more. Perhaps I was looking for longer descriptions of each pain (well, most of them were just the right length - oh, alright, I wanted more elaboration on Number 11. It's food, people. I want food! Ehm. Ignore my ramblings). All in all, this is a good read. Not too lengthy. Not too pushy (on the humor, that is). ^^ Just because... Coming Down Your Chimney by puppy200010. Aww...man! XD I loved this so I just had to review it. :3 It's the kind of article I like. It has just the right amount of humor (none of it sounding forced), an interesting topic given a new twist, a short story-ish feel to the article (and, even sort of like a Choose-your-own Adventure thing). And, the ending...was sweet. *wiggles eyebrows* Short Story ReviewsThe Different Christmas by blubblub317. Ah, a feel-good-I'm-getting-a-warm-fuzzy-feeling-right-now Christmas story. ^^ What more can I say? Midnight is my favourite character, of course (reminds me so much of my pet's own Weewoo, oh, and the ones at the NTAG *smiles*). I thought there were too many tears, though. Then again, this is a feel-good...yeah, you know what I mean, right? ^^ Loved it, Blub. Snow Day by oldnavyfan10. Before I begin, I just noticed that both Blub's and Navy's short stories begin with snow. *shrugs* Just randomness. On to the review. Although the plot is predictable, it's this very same trait that makes it wonderful. ^^ You know what's going to happen and you dread it. Being a fan of stories with sad endings, I automatically thought that the three pets would go their separate ways. I was wrong. Good characterization, Navy. ^^ Freedom is a very well-rounded character. She has her good traits as well as some bad. :3 Keep it up. Two thumbs up! Once Upon a Christmas Morning by really_awesome_d00d. Now, what I like about the author's writing style is his detailed descriptions. From Happy Valley's Christmas decorations to Lorelei's voice...everything just feels so alive. The plot was developed pretty well (and because I was too busy absorbing all the happenings, I didn't see the ending coming. ). I don't have anything more to say. The story speaks for itself. ^^ More reviews soon. I'm off to bed. Merry Christmas, everyone! ^^

ONG, I'm actually reviewing this week. So, let's cut to the chase! And um, reviews for "What Not To Do at Holiday Parties" would be much obliged. Random Reviews... but not many since I have to leave. The Different Christmas - by blubblub317 W00t, this family again! ^^ I swear I absolutely love these Neopians. The intro was especially good, I like how you introduced everyone and a bit of their personalities without rushing things or making it confusing to know who is who. I think the fact of forgetting to get a Christmas tree is pretty funny. XD Well, maybe that's mean to say. It is a good idea, now I think I'm starting to understand the title. Favorite line: "She'll get over it," the Lupe whispered. "With lots of therapy, that is." LMAO! Shoulda been QOTW. And I thought how Midnight made his appearance with a Christmas tree was cute. I think the story was good, a nice Christmasy story that everyone can enjoy. The caps lock in the middle section might have been a little much... I understand trying to emphasize feelings or words, but italics work fine too. Just a suggestion. Cute story, Blub. 12 Pains of Christmas by: brymax06 After I finished the article and saw the title, I immediately thought of "12 Days of Christmas". If this wasn't intentional then by golly, nice touch! XD I think a lot of the pains you mentioned are something a lot of people can relate to, such as getting snowed in, sold out gifts, waiting in huge lines, etc. Definitely think you hit the nail on the head about many Christmas pains. The only thing I noticed is that some paragraphs on the 12 pains were long and others were short and choppy. It is easier and more enjoyable to read if the paragraphs were fairly even. I understand that some topics are more easy to discuss, but maybe try to work on lengthening some of the paragraphs. Oh, and you used the exclamation point a lot, but since this was an article about complaints, I guess it was necessary.  |

Nice job, Sia. ^^ Thanks for the review, Belle! ^^ I'm glad you found it helpful, it was supposed to be more of a practical article than just talky-talk. I don't do the arts, but once I worked in a gift shop and that's where I learned my nifty little tricks =) |

Long time no see Stopping in to applaud Really_awesome_d00d's latest piece - "Once Upon A Christmas Morning" - which happened to catch my eye as I was browsing the editorial... I especially liked the way he portrayed the snowickle, and the eyes... THE EYES!!! lol. the story was so alive and boisterous and flowed well. The ending was eloquent, rich with feeling, smooth, and not at all predictable (maybe a tiny bit, with the foreshadowing and the book and all)... I feel like I'm describing Irish Cream but yes! I loved it. Excellent work, once again Oh, but I must say, while I was reading your piece - I kept pleading with you... NONONO! the snowickle will grow up and defy all set descriptions of grown Snowickles! It'll be a tame one! PLeeeeasse!!! But it's ok, I like your ending better. |
