From the editorial: xDD Translation: Anyways, here are some reviews: Comics:Spooky by ghostkomorichu Funny! xDD And as always, awsome art. I love the last panel especially. No Game Here: Vegetable Soup Please by hello5346 The art style is very unique. I like it. ^-^ Cute idea. =) No Comment: Crossover by x_massacre_x & super_evee Hehe, it's a unique and funny idea. ^-^ Poor pant devil. The Truth Behind the Giant Omelette by m3rcuri A cute idea. That is quite alot of omelette to eat, I'm surprised he's not bursting at the seams.  I like your art style, the background is especially pretty. Stories:David and the Fava Beans by sweetie_me274 A cute story with a nice introduction. We don't really learn very much about the characters, other then their dislike for Flava beans. The concept is a familiar story, one I'm sure most people have experienced themselves. I like the overall story, and the ending was not what I predicted, which is good. |

My comic reviews!
No Game Here: Vegetable Soup Please by Tee and kamikatze24
LMAO! Such innocence at first... and then, they're lunch! This was great! My one complaint is that I read the Soup Faerie's caption before the Chias' as that was higher in the panel. That wasn't a big thing, though.
Spooky by ghostkomorichu
This was great! I can't believe I actually missed this in my first list... I love Spooky, I honestly do. Especially the Korbat. This was another great one, Ghost!
No Comment: Crossover by x_massacre_x & super_evee
It took me a bit to get this one... I kinda missed the whole point the first time I read it. Fawkez's left paw seem a bit... off to me, but the art is truly awesome. The bit with "my karma ran over your dogma" surprised me, since it seems quite religious to have gotten into the NT. Overall, though, the comic was pretty good.

Thanks writing, (Im x_massacre_x) by the way. Its just my siggy, Ive had it for years, and its just a screenshot of something I actually posted then adjusted to fit, and its a word play, not religious  It was an original idea so we just had to go for it  Evee gets full credit for the art I managed the layout and the script. |

Any reviews for my short story, David and the Fava Beans, would be great. xD

You know, I looked at that comic, and saw that. I knew I had seen that saying before somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. Now I know. XD |

Ummm I'm not sure which pieces I read were NTWFer-produced pieces, but here are the reviews I wrote after reading each piece (and I'll go back and catch the ones I missed):
Articles
Kou- Jong Guide: iamhyper12345678910 (good grief, what a name!)
I was a little disappointed but I suppose the nature of the game makes it difficult to write a strategy-oriented piece. My personal preference is that game articles leave one or two paragraphs to explain the game and write the rest about the actual *playing* of the game. For example, don't fill up the article with fluff about trophies and sending score when that's the same for every game. That may also be the good thing about this article, however - this article is all-conclusive and thorough. The reader need not have played the game before to be able to understand it.
Bubble, Bubble, Faerie Bubbles! by littlej001
This is my ideal game guide. Wonderfully written, and great level-by-level breakdown. It was succinct and to the point. I was surprised to note that this author does not have a Faerie Bubbles trophy yet. My one gripe about this article is that there are no subheadings. It would have been helpful if he had added "Types of Bubbles" and "Levels" before each respective explanation, and maybe underlined the levels and bubble names.
Short Stories
Torn Wings by rainbow_daydreamer
Wow. Dream, that was a wonderful piece. I'm almost glad that I didn't recognize your username at first. I should have known by the dedication at the end what quality there was in the piece itself but to be honest with you, your picture threw me off. I know, I know, don't judge and NT piece by its custom pic and title and excerpt, but I did because that's how I choose which ones to read when time is short.
I know not every story can have a custom pic, but I do believe this story deserved one. I'm not sure what would have made your excerpt more appealing, but when I read it I thought your story was another one of those "little-neopet-strikes-out-on-an-adventure" stories. Sometimes I wish we could write our own summaries, instead of having to rely on a sentence or two within the story to suffice.
I thought it was very clever to have depicted the Haiku Kougra the way you did - turning her into a Haiku-speaking teacher. I think the encorporation of the poetry made your piece all the lovelier.
And how touching the storyline was. It would take me forever to write and tell you each element of the story that I noticed and appreciated, so I hope you are satisfied if I wrap this up by saying that I am glad I ended up reading your piece.
to be continued.

Torn Wings by rainbow_daydreamer I really liked the way you portrayed the Haiku Kougra. At first, I was a bit confused but then I caught on. I was also a bit confused about who Keahi was at first. I thought that it was her owner but then you had mentioned that her true owner lived somewhere else. But that all unjumbled in my head later on. I would've liked to know a little bit more about Keahi and her past as I didn't feel I knew enough but I'm just being pinickety. I enjoyed your piece and the ending was wonderful where you put Mirari's haiku into the prenultimate paragraph. The ending was very touching indeed. Well done.

How My Best Friend And I Saved Neopia by lemmykoopa300 Whoa. I have so much to say about this. Firstly, I LOVE Miles and Sal. They're absolutely hilarious what with Sal's dry sense of humour and Miles' craziness. They go together like Weewoos and the NT. Secondly, I loved the witty, funny parts. The best part was the meeting the Pant Devil. I would quote parts but that would mean quoting almost the whole story. The whole thing just went so smoothly and worked really well. Any other time, if I saw a story with SOOO MANY WORDS IN CAPITAL LETTERS, I would've probably screamed and run away but in this case it worked perfectly. Basically, I'm glad you decided to write this when you were recovering from writer's block because somehow you made this crazy but very good story work. Great and funny read!

Comics: No Game Here: Vegetable Soup Please by Tee and kamikatze24 Heh! Very funny. Although I was slightly annoyed at the vegetables for being so stupid. Or maybe they were just naive? Anyway, loved the comic. Spooky by ghostkomorichu OK I didn't think you could carry on making Spooky so funny. But I was wrong because I loved this one! Probably the best Spooky one I've seen. At least...until the next one. No Comment: Crossover by x_massacre_x & super_evee Well, it took me a while to get the joke but I did...in the end. And when I did, I thought it was hilarious. Took me a good 2 minutes and a half to get it though... The art is great as well. The Truth Behind the Giant Omelette by m3rcuri Hehe! I always did wonder whether he took any himself. Unique idea and his expression in the second panel is great. |

A few random reviews.
No Game Here: Vegetable Soup, Please
Very funny, in a slightly twisted sort of way. I can only hope she's joking! I love the art on this one... it's beautifully drawn.
How My Best Friend And I Saved Neopia
Sometimes it's refreshing to read a short story that doesn't take itself at all seriously, and I think this definitely fits that category. When I saw the custom picture, I expected a vaguely clichéd "how a battledoming Neopet team beats the Pant Devil and he promises to give everything back," but I much prefer your idea... actually, it's not that hard to out-villain a blue blob that steals undergarments. The thought of a pet's absolute unruffledness in the face of certain doom also made me giggle ("Here's that laser show I asked for!") and the last line is just the perfect kicker.
The Truth Behind the Giant Omelette
Very well drawn, but a little predictable. I'll look out for more of this artist's work in the future.
Needed Adventure: Part 2
I'm intrigued to see where this story is going to go. The characters are likeable and realistic, especially the caring father Gelert, and I can't help but love Whooter in his would-be snobbery and independence. Whether the next chapters are going to stay with Dantam and Tessa, or focus on Enzo's adventures, I'm glad we've been introduced to Enzo's home life first. So many stories about young Neopets setting out for new horizons seem to skim over the kids' home and family, ignoring the fact that the pets need somewhere to come from as well as a place to go.
However, I can't help feeling that either I've misread the story, or there's something I've not figured out about the Gelert and his family-- such as why Dantam would be sending his own pups away to live with someone else at such a young age, or (for that matter) why the kids haven't been assigned to an owner at birth like most Neopets. Maybe I'm just being slow.
