My friend Kaitlyn is hardly on the forum any more, but I am sure that she would appreciate reviews for her story "The Believer"

Beauty Contest Greensby dark_goddess_rising Wait… we’re supposed to get paid?  I’ve got to get more on the ball.  Heh, your description of trying to draw your pet works for me. It sounds a lot like how I have to do it… and I’m sure a lot of the other less than artistic people out there like me. This mental picture is priceless! ;D I have to confess, I’ve never entered the beauty contest (for obvious reasons if you’ve ever seen my attempts at art) so a lot of the terminology used in most articles often goes right over my head. Not in this one. *grin* It’s a good first dip in the water for people like me to understand what in the heck those special ‘artistic’ people keep talking about. (No offence to artistically inclined people meant… Right guys? Heh heh…. ehhh…..)

Where ARE They Now?by stopthespamming That was an odd, odd mental picture.  … I’m a horrible person. The first thing to pop into my head after reading this was a picture of a Blumaroo Steak… Followed by the logic that Kelp must be serving Lutari as food. >.< I do have a question… theory number 5 and number 10 are the exact same theory? *confuzzlement* Other than that bit of confusion, I really liked this article, especially all the ‘undeniable proofs’ that were all really a lot closer to ‘coincidental’ and not really ‘proof’ at all. The whole tone made me grin.

Homeby dan4884  First thing that comes to mind when I read the opening of this story was (with the cheesy overly dramatic announcers voice, of course) NEOPETS IN SPAAACCCEEEEE. …. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I saw the first Star Trek: The Motion Picture today. This is a really trippy story. I was kind of confused the first time I read it, but the second time, I loved it. What a novel interpretation of the game and the controls of it! Of course, this brings up the question of if the …. ‘others’… could pull him back out against his will. *debates* There is only one solution… You must write a sequel. And I will poke you until you do. *pokes* Arrrggg... and now I'm getting kicked off the computer because someone 'might' call tonight. I miss my cable.

You do know that the simulations are part of the game, right? >> Just wanted you to know that I didn't make that part up. ^^;; But thanks again for the review. |

I'd love to do my comic reviews first...but do to my slightly overwhelming pride, I must request that the second part of my first published series be added to the list: The Pianist's Quandary: Part Twowww.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=256945&issue=256============================== Now, on to my comic reviews! There's a nice number this week; how exciting. *smilies* Notions and Nonsense - The Best Things by patjade art by jerk_headHow very true is this? Though I did not love it as much as the last Notions and Nonsense comic I read, this was another great one. *applauds* Little Orby by tashniLittle Orby pwns Jhudora! LOL! I love Little Orby, I seriously do. This one was great. At first, I was confused as to what exactly that thing was, but then it made sense as the comic went on. *applauds even more* Dream On by autoc007 art by tristessThe art for this was great, superb even. It's a great idea, too, but I feel it was lacking something... I can't put my fingure on it, but it lacked that something extra special for me. Still, though, this was a really nice comic. Don't Blame ME by choclatedI'm sorry, but this just didn't do it for me. I didn't understand it, and because of that, I didn't find it very funny. The part when when the other neopets come to be her friend did make me chuckle a bit, though. ============================== Hmm...well, it's pretty late where I am, so I've got to be going for the day. There looks to be a lot of interesting articles and good stories to look forward to, though, so I'll definitely be back as soon as I can be to do the rest of my reviews. I particularly look forward to reading Needed Adventure: Part three, and the final installment of another series I've been following, Encountering Resistance. Any reviews for the second part of my series will be greatly appreciated. |

I really appreciate it, especially since I haven't been writing any reviews the past few weeks. (College started.) As a result, I'm not sure when the next "Little Orby" will appear, even though I already have a couple more scripts. Maybe I should find an artist . . . Anyway. More reviews always welcome! |

Don't Blame ME by choclatedI'm sorry, but this just didn't do it for me. I didn't understand it, and because of that, I didn't find it very funny. The part when when the other neopets come to be her friend did make me chuckle a bit, though. Well, originally there was a different ending, but it kept getting rejected, so I changed it to this, and it got accepted.  Thanks for the review, though. Reviews:We Got a Neomail! by sweetie_me274 I love the excitement of the pets in the beginning, and the plot of the story. I thought in the end that they would spend it all, but your ending was much better. The story flowed very well and I found it to be very entertaining. Castles by nimras23 I really liked this story. The descriptions were excellent and I loved hearing about the Lupe family. The idea is fun, and the ending was sweet. Nicely done. =) |

The Pianist's Quandary- by micrody
I went back and read Part 1, so I'll review both parts for you here. ^^ I really loved the writing of this story. You've got a real knack for description, and conveying emotions. I can picture the house so easily. I also liked the sentence in Part 1 where Nevan pictures the ballroom and then opened his eyes to see a dull Faerieland. I thought that was beautiful, and genius to boot. If I were to give you any criticism, I'd say that you could've perhaps added a bit more of a plot to string it along a little better, since Part 2 sort of lost a little steam, I thought. That's not to say it wasn't bad, but I guess I like my stories with a significant plot, while your story is more character-oriented. ^^;; Great story so far, can't wait for the next part.

The rest of my comic review! *hehehe* No Game Here: Turmac Jam by hello5346 art by m3rcuriThis was great! I love it and the art was fabulous. At first glance, though, it kinda looked like the Turmac was rolling towards the crushed berries, not the away from them, because of the hill in the background. But that was such a little thing, it didn't subtract from the comic's funniness at all! The Pianist's Quandary- by micrody I went back and read Part 1, so I'll review both parts for you here. ^^ I really loved the writing of this story.

Thanks, Dan! I'm glad you think I've got a knack for conveying emotions and descriptions; others have made that comment as well. It seems, though, that when my plot shines, my characters lack, and when my characters shine, the plot lacks. *grr* I'll have to work on that, finding a balance between the two. Anyways, thanks a lot for the review. And I love your avatar; I watch Lost, too. You know, I just went back and read what you said again, and you really hadn't said my plot was lacking at all. You simply said this was a more character-oriented story. Looking at my writings as a whole, I often focus more on my characters to drive the story than on the plot. So...I guess I'm good. Thanks again for the review. Oh, and Nimras, you have still this listed as a new series, but it's actually a returning one. Sorry if I confused you when I said this was my first series. |
