The Art of Fishing by mygoodguild - I LOVE this paragraph: "Before we start with the actual article, I’ll give you a few English tips on “fish.” The plural of “fish” is “fish.” Enough said. Onto the article! *blast of trumpets*" That is SOOO something that bothers me. "Fishes" is just NOT a word! Oh, and I totally did the trumpet sound in my mind. You know, "dun, dun Dun DUUUUN!" . . . yeah. "Let’s first talk about all of these gnomes that seem to have existed since the beginning of time." *puts on old lady voice* Please, child, gnomes is new little critters! Why, I remember when neohomes didn't exist, much less neogardens and their little gnomes! *end old lady voice* Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Overall, that was one seriously random article! It was amusing at points, but overall I think it would have benefitted from a better structure and clearer objective. Hehe, thanks for the review. ^_^ Yay fish, boo fishes! I'm off to do some reviews now. =P |

ArticlesThe Art of Fishing by mygoodguildWell, I have to admit I'm really not into fishing so I didn't find the article especially interesting, but it was well written and covered everything, so well done anyway!

Battledome-ify Your Neopian Times Items by doughnut215Very funny - where one earth did you come up with the idea?!  Making Its Mark by o_apollo_oAnother unusual article, but for some reason it didn't really catch my attention, sorry.

These are the ones by NTWFers that I've read so far: ArticlesBattledome-ify Your Neopian Times Items by doughnut215:Funny and well written. The Cheesy Villains Awards by dan4884 and blubblub317:ROFL. Pant Devil: FEAR ME! FEAR ME, I SAY! Hehe. Nice collab. Making Its Mark by o_apollo_oI liked it, but some of the references about past events (i.e. Way back in the ages before issue seventy-six, the editor of the Neopian Times had a certain liking for dung. ) were lost on me coz I haven't been reading the NT for....*thinks*...ages. However, it was nicely written. ComicsNo Comment by x_massacre_x & ssjelitegirlNice! Pirates do pwn ...though you may be right about the depth perception thing Yeah, I haven't read much of it yet. Can anyone tell me what they think of my article: Attack of the Slorgs: this is NOT a Game Guide?? |

Thanks, both of you! n:D And thanks, Tashni, for making the list. That will help me a lot when I do reviews. More reviews for my article, "A Gnawing Curiosity," would be very much appreciated. Reviews coming up sometime this weekend. |

Making Its Work by by o_apollo_oThis was an excellent article that, by the end, had me all warm and fuzzy inside. I loved how you used a different point of view in the article, almost as if it were a story. The facts that you present are very true, and make you think about how great the Neopian Times is and how it's affected the site and its users. Your writing is very detailed with excellent descriptions, and I can see that you've definitely improved after reading a couple of your past works. There were two lines in particular that I loved: Wow. That really strikes a chord in my heart. I applaud you for your originality and amazing insight, Apollo. Influential Ideas by tdyansIt was a wonderful surprise to see an article in the Times by tdyans. I've always loved your work, so it was no surprise to me that this article was another great piece. Your writing is near-perfect. I was most impressed by your introduction, which described the article flawlessly. I couldn't find any mistakes whatsoever, which is rare when I read something in the Times. The idea for this article is very original and it's great to see something that isn't recycled. It was very interesting to find out how all these influential ideas started out, because I know I've used them in stories myself. The only thing I wish you had done was add more ideas, because three seemed a bit limited. Even though each idea had a lot of history about them, I was still very interested to find out by more by the end, so it was a bit of disappointment. However, the article itself is excellent, and your writing continues to highly impress me to this day.

Don't Blame ME by choclatedI don't quite get it... sorry. Though your clocks look nice and the "250" that's nearly hidden was a cute little addition. No Comment by ssjelitegirl & x_massacre_xIt took me a moment to realise that he had swung the sword, but once I made the connection, it was quite funny! The art was nice, as always. penny dreadful by angelica030788 & velveteenThis is great! My one objection is that the Kyrii looks more like it is in pain than if it's laughing, but I'm just being nitpicky I guess. And the Meepits Outgrabe by kittylinA simple story, but it was great. The artwork is simply fabulous. When I find enough time, I will definitely read your other comics. Did I say how great the artwork was? I mean, wow! Little Orby by TashniAbsolutely hilarious! It took me a moment to gather what was going on in the last (um...what are they called? for the sake of this, I'll say:) box, but once I did, I couldn't stop laughing! I can't wait for No. 3! Notions And Nonsense - Time Travel by x_b0b0_x & patjadeThe art is beautiful. When I finished it, I said, "Oh...!" with a sense of realization and, I guess I'd call it revelation, because I never thought of that before. Now I have an excuse to sleep late. Sutek Muffin by thegreenmooseofdoomHAHAHAHA! It's funny. The artwork is so smooth and it looks really, really great. The Aisha's last expression is priceless! Spooky by ghostkomorichu*laughing* This is funny! I like the Korbat. He reminds me of me! This is a great one. The Neopets' expressions are so clear and meaningful, I could have understood this even if you ignored adding the text, and that is great! And the Weewoo on the Korbat's head is the greatest!
Thanks, Tashni, for adding my story to the list! I don't have anymore time to review anything right now, but reading all the reviews thus far, I know that I have a lot of great things awaiting me, so as soon as I find time... And though I hate to pester, reviews for Patience would be highly appreciated.
