CCR: Instincts P4 by Nimras -
Erm, what was the question? *scans up* OOOH, right, "Why do Lupes have such a curse?" Got it. They're so far apart, though, that my poor little brain could have used a reminder. ^_^
"Instincts" is so deliciously different from the other CCRs! I am really loving it.

What Lies Hidden in Your Closet: Part Sevenby puppy200010 Roffle! How true.  Wait a minute… If she can’t touch anything, how can she play with and move the toys? *is confused* Poor Kalina is having a very big day.

You'll be the kind of person whom art students stalk just to pilfer your most meager possesions and add them to the shrine they made of you out of bubble gum and lasagna. |

ArticlesThe Science of NeoQuest by MicrodyIt's an interesting subject and I admire the amount of research you did! Comics
Painted Problems by petkeeper416 & obviousfakenameA few predictable jokes but still good. You managed to get a lot of characters into each panel without making it look cluttered. itsa comic by child_dragonThis is really good. I love the art style and it's very funny  Free Jelly by autoc007 & aiyakhioriThat's a slightly disturbing joke  ;D The Gallion Ranch by hakuryu_86 & pacmaniteHehe - Sophie's so sweet Very good Darkest Corner by dark_elfaI wanted to keep dirt too! Stuck in the Neopet House by spotthechelseyHehe - another good joke about grave digging - how many more can you come up with I wonder? I really love your art, especially the electric zafara in this one. Continued SeriesChronicles of the Court Rogue: Instincts - Part Four by nimras23Ooh, it's getting exciting now! I laughed out loud at the idea of Danner being a fuzzy blue chew toy I liked the arguement between Mare and Danner too - you can tell they're friends by the way they argue. How many parts does this one run to? I'd love any reviews on my series Aubrise and the Gebmid Mystery (part 4) too

I helped you with that one! I remember! >_> But anyway, I like the research you put into it. Percents = official-looking. ^o^

Wisdom is also published this week, his short story is titled, "When Siyana Comes". Even if he doesn't want reviews, I think it's a recommended read. I have a Saturday night and Sunday matinee show so I probably won't have my reviews out for a long while, but I would appreciate hearing your thoughts about "Venuquin" Thanks for adding me to the list! |

Wisdom is also published this week, his short story is titled, "When Siyana Comes". Even if he doesn't want reviews, I think it's a recommended read. So...erm...reviews for Wisdom are a no-no?  Thanks for the reviews, Pam and Amy! I did put a lot of research into it. Those percents made me crazy (they are actual, though, so it's good). Anyways, Comics! (And then hopefully later, short stories and series!) Painted Problems by petkeeper416 & obviousfakenameThe first one is a bit confusing, though I guess lightning and fire under water... The second got a chuckle... The third I laughed at. I can only imagine what those other pets would have complained about, but I smell a sequel coming on (and some custard, too ^_^ ). The artwork was beautiful, especially in the first panel. itsa comic by child_dragon (NTWF?)The art was really nice, but this just didn't do it for me... Free Jelly by autoc007 & aiyakhioriThis deserves but one word: ROLFLMAO! The art was wonderful, too. The Gallion Ranch by hakuryu_86 & pacmaniteThis was funny, and the art was lovely, but I didn't enjoy this one as much as I've enjoyed other Gallion Ranches. Darkest Corner by dark_elfaYeah! I agree with the...Draik? The art is so detailed, I can't quite tell. But the joke was great, awesome! Stuck in the Neopet House by spotthechelseyThe artwork in this was so well-defined and layered and wonderful! The joke made me laugh, but I think the grave-digging jokes are getting worn out by now. |

I didn't say he didn't want reviews. the IF is the emphasis in that sentence. I can't speak for him, but I still think his story is worth the read.

The Science Of Neoquest - MicrodyThe amount of time and research you put into this is very impressive, and interesting to note. I have never played Neoquest, so it didn't affect me at all, but it was easy to read regardless- which is rare for articles that specialize in a single topic such as this. It did start to drag on a bit near the end, but all in all it was certainly worth the read. I had just one problem, and it kind of nagged at me the whole time. You listed all sorts of statistics, interesting as they were, but you pretty much stopped there. This is my huge beef with articles that list statistics (both here and in real life). I wish somebody would take the time to explain just what it is they're saying. For example, instead of saying "only a surprising 42% of players had actually beaten the game" and then "I had also learned that of those who had won NeoQuest I, 38.3% had completed the game more than once", extrapolate a little. Add a line like "That means that roughly 16% of people who play Neoquest I have completed the game more than once." (I'm not completely sure if I calculated that accurately, but the point is there.) Statistics are a risky territory to travel. All in all a good article, I just wish you'd explained it all just a little more. The Origins Of: Balthazar - Tambourine_ChimpAh, an excellent read! Balthazar is just one of those characters that lurks on the fringes of Neopia, and it was nice to see him in the limelight again. There were some good laughs in there too, and that twist at the end caught me completely off-guard. I loved it. It was like watching a train wreck about midway down, because you could see exactly where it was headed, but you can't stop staring (or in this case, reading). Up until that twist at the end, which completely threw the whole concept for a loop. Maybe others will disagree, but I enjoyed it. Also, his last name is Woof. ;D Venuquin - phsycoticdancerI can only assume that's a custom, and what a custom it is. Very cool, I love the rays of sunlight. You know, like you have any control over that. Do I spy a story written in the Second Person? I grant your story instant awesome, because it's an uncommon and very unusual perspective for complete stories (excluding NeoAdventures). Great story, and once I realize who Venuquin was the whole thing made a lot more sense. An interesting use of perspective and Neopian legend, good work. More reviews will be made when I am more conscious, I feel like crap today.
