Hissi, Come Blow Your Horn!: Part One
by bitsy_dj

Satch, tell me. Which would you rather look at? A beautiful air faerie princess or a drooling, disgusting mutant Gnorbu?"

Satch flicked his tail in thought. "Uh... depends. What are they doing?"

*snerk*

I love the basic premise of this story. *grin* Can’t wait to see how Satch deals with the real world. And I love the name Histopher for a Hissi!

Spooky
by ghostkomorichu

Roffle! Korbat’s Lab indeed. Now I’ve got the urge to play that.

Is it just me, or did you not do as much shading in this comic? It seems a little… flatter… than some of your others. I love your idea for the SDB. *images shelves upon shelves of omlettes*

No Game Here
by Tee and Kami

I hate that game… (Okay, I’m just really bad at it.)
Very cute idea! The poor JubJub… I like the detail in this one, Maraquan JubJubs are hard, and the map of Faerieland if chock full of places from the map.

Don't Blame ME

Hee! The poor rainbow Uni… I bet he’ll have a phobia of eggs for weeks after that.

I love the “Who are you?” comment at the end. ^^

Aw! Thank you so much! Yeah, I don't why I thought of a trumpet playing Hissi, but it seemed to fit. Wait till you see the characters I introduce in the next chapter!

Orbulon and the Founder of Symol Hole: Part One
by tashni

Chapter 1 of 3

That looks suspiciously like planning and foresight. You know we don’t hold with that.

*snicker*

Impossibilities didn't seem to mean much whenever Orbulon was around.

*snicker* That whole scene with the stone meowclops stature is hilarious.

Thank you. ^_^

I really like the fact that Orbulon doesn’t speak, even though the other petpets in this series do. For some reason the idea of him talking and holding normal conversations just seems wrong.

Yeah, that was a big thing for me. I initially created this little alien creature in "Orbulon Has Landed," where he has no NEED to talk. As the series progressed, I realized what you just said: it would just be too strange for Orbulon to talk! The no-talking thing got a little trickier in this series. The action is a lot more on his level this time around, he is more directly involved in it. And he's surrounded by PetPets who are talking to him! Yep. I think I pulled it off. ^_^

Anymore reviews for 'In-4-Motif Tours for Newbies' would be greatly appreciated. I'll try and get around to my own reviewings if coursework lets up anytime soon

Aubrise and the Gebmid Mystery

Ooh, a very rewarding ending. ^^ It tied everything up so nicely. I loved this story. You really have a good handle on these characters and their dialogs and actions. Plus, I thought the Sekhani/Aubrise was cute. Great work, Pam!

Gallery of Evil: the Spider Grundo
by costa_rican_girl

Creepy story. *grin* Very creepy.

It did strike me a little odd about how calm they were about being kidnapped and forced into slavery -- but I know how limiting short stories can be on space/word count/length…

The last two sentences were a nice touch, just to make you aware of what happened, but not letting Arly have enough time for it to completely sink in.

Joey wasn't the brightest Baby Fireball in the Petpet shop.

"Fifty Neopoints make a Dubloon, and ten Dubloons make a Nerkmid,"

Oh don’t I wish…

The sad thing is, I can see someone doing just this…. Very cute premise and characters, TC, it’s good to see you back in the NT.

Shadowflame: Snowfall
by brains03

Shadow was forced to admit that lately her independent streak had been taking advantage of her,

Since when do they not?

Then again, what Skarl knew could fill a picture book.

I’m not going to comment on this, I’m not going to comment on this, I’m not going to comment… Oh, I did… didn’t I… Drat.

"Chet, get back in there and get your pants on this instant!"

…Should I start to expect a pantless joke in every Shadowflame story? (Not that I ever ever want another mental image of a pantless Chet Flash)

The ending was a little … expected. If that makes any sense. But I love the idea for the oracle trapped within a diamond.

Lucky Cake
by nut862

A large cake, garnished with twists of pink frosting and large red roses made of sugar, fell out of the air and landed smack in the blue Aisha's lap. The cake settled on her knees, leaning into her chest and oozing icing all over her skin.

First thing to pop into my mind? *Something has Happened!*

Oh sweet Fyora, it’s the Birthday Sidebar Blumaoo. I see you made him a “him”. I’d always envisioned the Blumaroo as a female…

Holy Kau Nut, how many random events did you manage to fit into this story?

*dies laughing* You, my dear Nut, have way too much free time. Brilliant, utterly brilliant.

Neopia's Golden Years
by playmobil_is_my_life

Pfishing

I admit, I boggled at this at first. Mainly because I associate the term ‘pfishing’ with a type of scam…

Hehehe, you included Meridell under “Mystery”. Yey!

(Note, that is amusing to me for reasons that would probably never make sense to anyone else… ever.)

I admit I have no plans on retiring anytime soon -- but some of those ideas sound rather attractive right now. That might just be because I’ve been pulling way too many hours at work lately.

Thank you, Nimras! =3 I'm glad you liked it. ^^

Hmm, a girl? Now that you mention it... he does look a little feminine. I think it's the expression of glee. I just assumed it was a male.

I count twenty-one random events in there, but I may have lost count along the way. >> Basically I opened up one of those lists of random events on Neo fansites and worked in as many as I could.

Thanks for the review! *wateryglomps*

Thanks to everyone for the reviews, they are much appreciated!

The reception for Snowfall was mixed; I suspect the picture had a lot to do with how many people read Prisoner and how many didn't read Snowfall. But all in all, it sounds like Shadow's on her way to becoming my number one writing priority.

Shadowflame: Snowfall by Brains
Is this a custom pic I see? It's quite awesome; I like it.

This was an awesome, awesome story! I loved it. It was...I want to use the word "thick" (with plot), though I can't be certain anyone other than myself would understand it. I think the word epic works fairlywell enough. The battle scenes were wonderful. The rest of the story, brilliant. I even loved your Flash! So, Chet doesn't wear pants? lol. I had been guessing, if Shadow found the Dewdrop, she would see her future, but no. That surprised me. Reminded me a bit of Alladin, but, it worked, and worked superbly. It was wonderful. I liked this story, a lot. The only mistake was one "you" that should have been a "your," but no matter. This was...for lack of thinking of a better word...wonderful.

Thanks so much for the review Wolf (can I call you Wolf?), I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Epic does sound pretty good, it definitely appeals to my writer's ego. The whole 'Chet Flash' thing was one of those things that springs from late-night writing grinds, and it seemed appropriate to give a nod to two running jokes (the pants and Chet). But now that you mention it, the ending is very reminiscent of Aladdin- though unintentionally so. The whole point of Snowfall was the Oracle, even though The Grey stole the show in the writing of it. Shadow actually gambles more than you think when she gives up the Dewdrop.

Wow, a gorgeous well-written story. ^_^

Thanks Nut! I really appreciate the huge review you left, it makes me feel a tad guilty that I didn't give a longer one for Lucky Cake. Alas, next time.

Your mention of the 'ongoing series' thing reminded me that I forgot to add a 'Dear Reader' at the beginning of Snowfall. One that explained the whole premise. Whoops. Thanks for the tip-off, now I'll remember for the next one.

I have no idea why the break didn't actually make it into the part between the Italics and the Present Day. I could have SWORN there was one there.

I’m not going to comment on this, I’m not going to comment on this, I’m not going to comment… Oh, I did… didn’t I… Drat.

I'm not going to reply on this, I'm not going to- oh, it's not funny when I do it?

I'm going to assume that you enjoyed the joke, because it seems a tad ambiguous as to how you felt.

…Should I start to expect a pantless joke in every Shadowflame story? (Not that I ever ever want another mental image of a pantless Chet Flash)

The ending was a little … expected. If that makes any sense. But I love the idea for the oracle trapped within a diamond.

I wouldn't count on it. Certainly not EVERY one because there has to be a line somewhere. The joke would get old if I used it that much. But it will find its way into the story as much as I think I can get away with.

I understand what you mean by 'expected'. I personally thought her actions were a little obvious, but I'm the author so I don't count. If I could go back I would rewrite the ending more to better explain the emotions that are running through Shadow's head, but I was bumping the 4000 word limit dangerously close by that point.

Thanks for all the comic reviews.

Aubrise and the Gebmid Mystery by rookina - I finally read parts 5, 6, and 7. I really liked this story. You obviously thought a lot about the gebmid, its traps, and how it all connected. That's a lot of work!

Your characters were all interesting. I only wished there was more development of them. As it is, most of them were all pretty flat in that I did not get to see many sides of them.

Sarina I did get to see develop, and I liked that a lot! I love it when I get to see characters change.

Aubrise is a really interesting character. I love her spunk and wit and intelligence. I just want to see different sides of her--I want to see her flaws!

Sekhani is a nice character. I like his giant protector personality.

Some concrit now . . .

The coming of the mummies came out of nowhere. A little foreshadowing could have added to suspense.

the occasional draught had turned into a steady breeze

A draught is a long period of time without rainfall. A draft is blowing air. ^_^

Overall, nice job! I hope to see more of Aubrise soon.
