Thank you muchly! ^_^ I just spent the past few hours catching up on a very interesting series... Encountering Resistance: Part Four by moosuemAs i've said countless times before, i'm a sucker for Sloth stories. I've read nearly every Sloth-related story, article, and series that Neopian Times authors have come up with... But THIS... This is the most emotional, gut-wrenching Sloth series I have ever read. I mean it. I don't think anyone could read this without feeling a sting of grief for what happens to Neopia. The story takes place many years into the future after Sloth has successfully conquered the entire planet, reshaping it in his image and causing many Neopet species to become extinct. The main characters are very well-designed and i've grown rather fond of them, and despite my loyalty to Sloth, I can't help but feel sorrow for their struggle. I HAVE to extend a congratulations to the author of this series. It isn't over yet, but it looks like it's heading in the right direction towards a climatic struggle with Dr. Sloth himself. Yes, he IS a good writer. Is he a member of the NTWF? Anyway, I recall reading Part One about a month ago (has it really been a month?!), though it kind of fell by the wayside as other things came up. I do have some free time today... So here I come, Resistance! |

Confessions of a Neverending Boss Battle Champ by darkerstrifeThis is an amazing article. First off, your grammar and spelling was flawless, and that is a great thing for all writers. Then, you had just the right amount of humor to keep it from getting boring or dull, and you never let the article get too long. Everything you said was in its proper place and nothing was prolonged unnecessarily. Finally, you gave it personality. You made this more than a game guide. That in its self makes this article great. By the way, did I mention that this was original, and that made it even better? Good job; I really enjoyed reading this, and it was helpful, too! I also loved the Space faerie... tehehe. Thank you so much! ^_^ Most of my Times entries have been articles, and it seems that article-writing has become my key strength. I wrote a two-part series once, but it took me a while and I needed the assistance of a friend. |

Yeah, it really is a huge hangover though. XD Good thing I submitted an article to keep another NTWFer in the Times.
STRIFE'S ARTICLE REVIEW LOL
Some of the things in this article wanted to make me laugh out loud, such as "...and shiny red buttons". You managed to take an average game guide and turn it upside down. You managed to make a game guide funny. That's extremley rare these days, as are all article not meant to be funny. Yet, at the same time you were informative about the game. I commend you for your efforts. This article was perfect.
I'm not going to be nitpicky about anything 'cause that's the way I review things.

Can you guys tell me what you think of my article? :3 "Cuddly Catastrophes". LOL. I got tons of annoyed fan mails from this one -_-'' Strife--Great article! It made me happy because there were no grammar or spelling mistakes, and it was really funny. Kept me laughing at least. It's got just the right balance of humor/actual tips for the game. Sweet job  |

DND: Do Not Disturb! by frogluverjkr
This was a cute idea! My only suggestion is to make the artist's note smaller, so that it doesn't appear that the Quiggle is speaking.

Encountering Resistance: Part Four by moosuem
Though slightly a bit slower than the other parts in action, this part of the series continues this dark, epic story. The descriptions of how Neopia has changed under Sloth's rule are horrifying.
The revelation at the end is simply nerve-wracking.
To be most honest, I got goosebumps when I read the words, "I see."

Cuddly Catstrophes I liked it! Very good! I can't say there was nothing in particular I really thought was outstanding or disliked. A good article.  |

The Lost World of Stnaltia: Part Six
by silentbutterfly
Hee, the idea of a Pteri outrunning a Zafara makes me grin. Being faster than when flying, yes... but those stubby bird legs running fast enough to beat a Zafara's long ones makes me grin. I suppose it reminds me of Speedy Gonzales (sp?) from the old Loony Tunes outrunning the cat. ^^
"They took energy from the meepits, they took it from the swamp and caused it to wilt and die, and now they took a light faerie so the rest of the pets here are suffering and getting weak, and you are trying to tell me you think they are just misunderstood good guys?"
"Yes"
*grin*

The Mynci Squad: Part Three
by costa_rican_girl
"The man who had been the king of the club for so long, the master of hundreds of Techos, the all-powerful genius behind their force of terror, was...
a baby Mynci. "
*dies* ;D I had a couple of other comments before I read this line... but they all escaped from my head when I read it. Just that mental image is too precious.
Since you have an established group, are you planning on writing any sequels?

The Day 250 Struckby puppy200010 Also by plutoplus1 "I'll never be able to find that exact copy of How to Bake in Humid Climates in 734 Ways ever again!" ... I so needed that book in Okinawa. How long did it take you to come up with that anagram anyways? The number of 250s in this story are rather disturbing. I know it's the whole point, but yikes.  Can't wait to see what happens in Neopia Central... and hopefully the weather is a bit nicer there.
