H'm, looks like I confused you, Komori ^^; What I meant the story to go like after she meets the 'normal' guy is that we'd turn back to the n00b and see what happened to her. She's in Iceland, with many plushie paintbrushes ^_^ Then we go back to Arialaina. Who is a 'she', by the way  If I only confused you further, I'd advise checking out this: i7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/Iqbals/Other/story.jpgIt's the original storyboard for the comic ^^ And I've got the next story all set up, I'm waiting for an artist. Glad you guys like it though  |

Ahhh. Okay, I did kinda' think it was that first girl nOOb, but I wasn't sure. I think a lot of it has to do with Arialaina in the last panel, saying she gave the guy a map to the Hidden Tower. I mean, the nOOb says the pbs will be there forever so she can keep selling them. Well, the Hidden Tower has an unlimited stock, so I figured whoever was saying the chatspeak must be in the Hidden Tower. And since the guy was the one who got directions, I was confused why the guy suddenly turned into a nOOb and stole all the pbs in the Tower.
I think it was just from trying to tell two stories at once. It might've been clearer if it had been only one storyline, and no jumping about.

Okay ^_^ I understand where you're coming from (:
I was trying to lead into the next story with that bit about the pamphlet, should've made it a bit clearer I suppose.

Articles!
A Lime-a-licious Countdown by sweetie_me274
Well, I'm not a fan of lime...but that was a really fun article! Its exuberance was well-written and easy-to-read, so, although I'm not fond of limes, I enjoyed reading this.
Ahnnilator's Guide to the Care & Feeding of a Zomutt by cyneo_masters2
First off, I love Zomutts - they're one of my favorite Petpets.
Being technical for a moment, this caught me off guard:
Am I not to feed my Zomutt, or am I just not to feed it this article? I understand that it was probably meant to be the latter, but the "it" is missing.
Aside from that, I truly loved reading this article. It was fun and entertaining, well-written, easy-to-read, and informative (not that any of the information is usable, by the way :wink: ). I liked it. Good job.

A Lime-a-licious Countdownby sweetie_me274 Love the pictures… did you code them in, or was that Droplet’s inspiration? *looks at lime Chia thumbnail picture for article* As a Lupe, I completely agree with you.  I like how the things you used were varied, and not three different versions of lime slushies or something. Except you left out the Lime Cheesecake… Just kidding. *grin* I know there’s no way you could have included the other 83 lime things in Neopia. It’s a very cute, happy article, and a very fun read. Oh, and congrats on your 4 issue run. *grin*

Ahnnilator's Guide to the Care & Feeding of a Zomutt
by cyneo_masters2
Ewwwww…..
I have a question; did you mean Zomutt, or zomutt? Because you go back and forth throughout the article. I’m under the understanding (awkward phrasing there…) that both pet and petpet species names should be capitalized.
I think you forgot an “it”… unless you think that zombie, undead petpets don’t need to eat at all… or be paper trained?
*dies*
….Though I do think your article convinced me that it’s not really the petpet for me…

The Returnby phsycoticdancer I think I need to start this review with the author’s note… Poor Sloth followers, to be so close – yet so far. *grin* I adore Adylene, both so understandable, yet so complex. Kudos for integrating into the plot the Grundos feeling of inferiority and how the other species consider them stupid; which has honestly never really made sense to me, although I know that’s the way they are when you create them. And I love how you made Sloth repeat himself.

Poison Doll
by micrody
It may be just me, but I’ve never really associated hospitals with ‘salubrious’. Maybe it’s just because I don’t equate ‘sterile’ with ‘healthy’; to me, sterile = dead zone. That’s why I sterilized my dissecting equipment. It could simply be that my view of the world (and the usage of that word) is a little tweaked.
Other than that, I really like the central conceit for this story, and how the title ties into the plot. And I love the use of the salt mote. Brilliant way to tie in a real-life superstition/ritual into Neopia.

Vampire Flowers
by rainbow_mist_wave and elvenmirror24
*dies*
What a hilarious set of cubs. (Kits? Kittens? Pups?) Sappy’s original reluctance makes it all the funnier when he does join in. I get the feeling that the neighbors went home that night and laughed until they cried. *grin*

No Game Here: Web Of Spyder
by rookina and hello5346
Cute. *grin* It took me a couple seconds to get this one, although I’ve played the game often. What first came to mind was, “What’s he going to do when all the other Spyders show up?”
Very good job on the artwork, especially the web in the background. The Sypder’d expression is great.

Spookyby ghostkomorichu *snerk* I have to admit, I’ve wondered about that. Would you need a new book for every problem you solve in your math book?  …. I still haven’t figured out how he holds things…

The Gallion Ranch by hakuryu_86 and pacmanite … Ow …. Sadly, I think that’s something I’d do at some point. Beautiful job on the art, by the way. |

Poor little guy… His Huggy’s hugging him to death! Cute idea and artwork style, I love the expression in the first panel.
