I know. K. I'll try my hand at some reviews... Sooner or later...

ARGH! Kushbi beat me. XD

Whoo, part 2 of "A Hero's Journey" is out, but I have to admit, this is the part I'm least fond of. Everything went a little too downhill from the beginning. *bangs head on table*

Kat will try to review a few things though...TRY. She is juggling a lot of stuff right now...and she left the water running in the bath. XDDDDDDD

Woo. -rushes off at lightning speed to send in her short story so that way she isn't rejected for "too many good entries"-

[Czenko]

Please, please, please, PLEASE! I need a review on my last part of the Pirate Writer. You have no choice. You must read it even though you might've not read any of the other parts. You HAVE TO read it. I will use my mind control on you.

I will make an attempt to do reviews.

[Belle]

Anyone looking for Short Story/Article reviews? ^^ I don't have time to read series but I'll try.

Not a large reviews thread...
*pops off to the editorial* (Sorry, but I always read that first.)


Sia's Not-So-Random Review:
(Gah! Bold and stuff doesn't work on a stupid old mac ;_;)

A Hero's Journey: Part Two

*sighs blissfully* A lovely Kat story, in that tone... Except that it sounds rather medieval (which is good) and not 100% typical Kat, but still with Kat expressions. I love the way you portray the characters and make the bad things happen yet not making it look too awful but just a bit evil. *loves Reuben's sarcasm* Le gasp! And he meets Li. I originally thought that Li was a Blumaroo, but I guess I was wrong... It's quite a sweet scene, and I like how you end it. Only that 'whenver' is a bit strange because I think this is the first time Li and Rohane meet, but maybe that's just me. This is awesome... I'm looking forward to the third part!
(I guess Reuben is really evil... putting a bearog in his brother's room.)

Is it just me or is there not so much stuff by NTWF writers in this week's issue?

[fipples~]

I'm not really in the mood to review, but I just had to review one comic - "Meridellian Mayhem - Villain Census". I'm not sure if the artist is in the NTWF, but the comic was GREAT. It had me laughing for 10 minutes later, so much that my mom was staring at me. Just thought I should specially compliment it. Great job!
Might review a few others I really liked later on.

Ikkin does Meridellian Mayhem.

I had to tone down the pre-teen romance. XD Think: "Little Manhattan". And I modified Li's species because I had too many Blumaroo characters running around my head. Nope, Li and Rohane are friends already - she just happens to pass by. *should work on her meeting scenes*

Reuben starts off being evil. Then he tones down to being sarcastic. That'll happen much later.

Must...review...*crawls towards NT*

I noticed that. I sent out a lot of invitations this week.

[silentbutterfly]

Patjade – it took a while, but I ended up checking out this forum later in the week. I don’t know if you remember me or not though. In issue 222 I had my first publication (though I had wanted to enter the NT for years…was either too lazy, too busy, or too scared to actually submit anything). I’m hoping to get another publication though *crosses fingers*


REVIEW -

A Hero's Journey

I don’t see how you can think it went a “little too downhill” from the beginning. I started reading the story, didn’t take a break, and enjoyed every moment of it. I think the part where Liwanag came was done very well (I had the idea from reading it that they had met before and were ‘friends’ ) I honestly never put that much thought into the characters in NQ2 when I played it, and this is a very interesting and enjoyable read for me. I am looking forward to next week to find out what happens next! ;D

REVIEW-

The Pirate Writer

Great job! I was a little surprised with how the captain reacted (I’m still new and not sure about spoilers in review), but I really like the way you ended the series. I also think you wrote his reaction to the end well. I don’t know how many times I have complained about a hectic situation going on in my life, but it always seems to amaze me that I actually miss them at first once they’ve come to a close. Terrific writing, czenko! I hope I’ll get the chance to read more from you in the future!

jXD Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, especially enough to review not even knowing that I was an NTWFer...


I'd like more reviews on the comic, if anyone wants to review me.

Thanks for the review! ;D Heh, I've decided to do some reviews myself...

Evil Death by dragoncatcher_sammy

Wow, me likes. The concept of different pets with different personalities coming in and out of Thade's office (do they call that an office? Never mind) was nicely done, and although I didn't exactly get the significance of the Shoyrus stealing Neopoints, I assumed that it was just an extra detail on Thade's "customers". Anyway, the story was finished off well.

The Tale of the Darkest Faerie: Part Two by shadowcristal

Ooh, the plot thickens. The story escalates to new heights with the two protagonists, and Desdemona's character becomes more well-rounded. Sometimes it gets a little hard to follow who was saying what, but it's not much of a bother. I'm eagerly awaiting the next part.
