Shad and Saura: The Story of Elversti - Part Nine
by ssjelitegirl

Never drink something that smells like coffee but looks nothing like coffee

*snerk*

I love the banter between the light and dark Faeries, you get the feeling the only real reason they’re cooperating is because they’ve got a common enemy.

And poor Shad and Saura, they keep getting stuck in the middle of things that don’t concern them…

In This Together: Part Six
by rainbow_daydreamer

and we’re the least dead Neopets in the whole of the Haunted Woods

That could be disturbingly accurate, you know.

I do find it funny the very different receptions Jonny and Minette received from Ladorna. ^^ It’s a quick way to introduce their very different personalities.

The Petpet Detectives: Case of the Disappearing Deaver - Part Four
by playmobil_is_my_life

I like Jack. ^^ (The fact that I had a dog named Jack, and that he’s a Lupe has nothing to do with it…. Really. *shifty eyes*)

We were nose-diving towards the finish line!

That seems to belong right in front of the ominous crash and burn ending.

Hissi, Come Blow Your Horn!: Part Five

NEVER DOUBT THE POWER OF THE FOOT!

*dies laughing* I like Melvin. ^^

She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

…..

You are my hero.

"That, cousin, is what happens when you believe in the powers of the foot!"

It’s all about the foot.

Revisited: Part Four
by puppy200010

Creepy story… I like how they run away from the scream in total panic instead of going back to rescue the Aisha. No heroes here.

I do kind of wish you’d put the dream sequences in italics, to make it easier to tell when she transitions back into ‘real time’.

…. a soft “Meep!” was heard coming from the parlor.

Yes, blame the Meepits.

Cylara's Journey: Part Two
by doughnut215 Also by denimsweetheart

Yikes, convent time for her owner to not be there. One has the suspicion that this was all one big ruse by her owner to teach her to take better care of her little brother or something.

Evidently female…

Okay, that phrasing gave me a couple really weird mental pictures…

And I think Cylara’s right to suspect the Skeith… It’s rather odd that she ‘finds’ it so quickly after the Shadow Usul took it.

SQUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*becomes engrossed in CCR: Jealousy*

How DO you always get such insanely amazing custom pics? I think you have fangirls in the art department.

CCR: Jealousy by Nimras - This beginning is pretty good. I do not expect fast beginnings of CCR, and this one seemed very well paced to me. You set up all of the characters, hinted at the antagonist, and brought up two subplots--Countess Mareian and Lisha/Rolan shipping. That's what I got out of it, anyway.

[Tashni]

Charity is Like a Rotting Shoe by nut862 - This is an entertaining rant of an article. I like the serious but satiric tone of it. Good job!

[shadow=purple,left,300]I can make reviews! =D Actually, review. Stupid connection.

Chronicles of the Court Rogue: Jealousy by nimras23

More CCR! I like how you presented the first few characters in such a way that they were already well-rounded, and at the same time didn't rush the beginning. And it seems that there may be more than just one plot in this series...my 'shipping senses are tingling. Rolan and Lisha? I support Lisha/Morris myself, but I'll have to see how it turns out. Overall, very good first part, and OMG SHINY CUSTOM PICTURE.[/shadow]

Brothers and Kings by dan4884

First of all, kudos to Ginz for a great picture. ^_^ Even though it had a lot of jumps from scene to scene, the overall flow was good. I like the bantering and arguing between the two brothers (reminds me strongly of Reuben and Rohane from my stories), because it adds detail to the plot. The ending was a surprise twist, but I kind of half-guessed. ^^;[/shadow]

I've got a comic in this issue, 'Game Over' if anyone wants to review it, thanks

Heh heh. Yeah, I was really hoping the "Power of the Foot" line would make the quote of the week. This actually wouldn't make a bad spinoff short story. "Melvin and the Powers of the Foot!"

Oh, and as for the kiss. Yes, I can't believe they let me keep that part in either. I'm think maybe a kiss on the cheek and harmless crushes is the limit as far as romance goes. I'm proud to be your hero, Nimras.

Thanks Kat for the review. ^__^

CCR by Nim

I cannot tell you how I excited I was to see this when I previewed earlier this week. And I love the custom pic. <3

Anyways, the story: I like how the setting seemingly will be different; a change of scenery is always nice. Rolan is a cool character (has he been in CCR before? I can't remember), and although he apparently has the hots for Lisha, I still picture her as a girl. XD Nevertheless, I think it's awesome how you're able to sneak that much in. I'm not sure I understand the countess thing, but I don't really understand the whole feudal system anyways. XD Anyways, Mareian as a countess has plenty of possibilities. Awesome start, can't wait for next week.

Comics!

Food Science by Kami and Tashi
Aww, how...both hilarious and sad... The art was pretty good, smooth lines and a lovely attention to detail, and the story was pretty good as well. It makes me think of the saying, "out of the frying pan, into the fire," but perhaps it's the other way around... or do you not fry shrimp? lol. I really liked this.

Don't Blame ME by Choclated
Uh... erm... That poor little egg... The art was nice and the story was funny.

Follies Follies by Manda314 and Renrenthehamster
That Moehog should run... I sense a lot of anger from Bob... and not the scarecrow one, either! The art was really nice and I liked the joke. The expressions on Bob (the Yurble) were pretty good.

Game Over by m3rcuri
Weepit WAS here! *gasp* The lines were all pretty good and the joke was pretty funny, it's just a shame that it wasn't a real Weepit... Good job, though.
