First reviews! W00t! Brothers'n'Sister: Butler "Shlosh" Part I by kamikatze24Strange... the artwork is beautiful, but I found the story itself a bit strange and not that funny. But I liked it still, mind you. Good job. The Great Discovery by patjade and dark_elfaAww! That is so CUTE! and PRECIOUS! The art is so light and powdery and all good and warm-fuzzy inside. ^_^ I really liked this, I did! And, Sytra's series, Into the Sea, has its third part in this week. |

Hi! I'm kinda new... do you think it would be possible to get a review on my series? Thanks! I could also try review something else of someone's, if you don't mind my somewhat pathetic critisism. ^^ Humour me.

*pokes Trilly* Her series is called Whispers, and is a new series this week. It's midnight here; humour us.  Coming to this thread reminds me that although I haven't had anything in the Times for a while, I've really been skirting my reviewing duties. Maybe I can get around to some tomorrow. =3 |

Jupe (jupeboxgal) has a new Floofeh comic in this issue, which I feel like critiquing. Floofeh: Faerie Quests by jupeboxgalI love the new thumbnail/logo, the purple one in the comic itself is a nice touch! The art is great, you've drawn the Dark Faerie's outfit quite accurately The joke is funny, too, but I have one question- what's happening in the 2nd to last panel? Does Tsuki hand her the gum, or what? |

Also...I have been thinking, and I have much to catch up on, and I haven't written in so long it seems, so I think I probably won't be doing many reviews this week, except for the series that I am already following. Perhaps by next week my life will finally be back in order and I can do things normally, without worrying about falling behind in trying to catch up... |

Shad and Saura: The Story of Elversti - Part Six by ssjelitegirl
Another great part. I loved the riddle. I like riddles, sometimes. I am also quite intrigued by Shad's revelation, as I myself am unsure of what it is. Like I seem to mention every week, I love how you flawlessly mixed into this story a level of depth while keeping it humorous.

Revisited: Part One by puppy200010 I really liked this. After the first few sentences, I couldn't stop reading. Very interesting and mysterious. I liked how it opened with the flashback, to let readers know what had happened, rather than some kind of explanation in present-time. I'm looking forward to the next part. ;D In This Together: Part Three by rainbow_daydreamer Yay! Part three This was again... shocking! XD The letter was so sad... Anyway, this chapter was very nice to read. Precise description, and at the end, a desire to read more. Can't wait for the next part.

Top Topiaries by ngc_5128 and milla_022 - This was cute! The intro was nice, because it gave you a real life feel for gardening. "It's fall and it's time to get a head start!" Your descriptions of the trees and bushes were great. My favorite was for the ice cube tree. It was FUUUUUNNY!

In This Together: Part Three by rainbow_daydreamer
Woah... that was...unexpected, but from the moment I began reading this, I knew she was leaving. I could just...feel it in the writing, that is how strongly it was written. Perfectly and flawlessly done, indeed. The emotions were wonderfully executed and could truly be felt.
I liked how you didn't write the events as they had gone on, but in the note. That made it more vivid, and even at times added just a touch of humor to break up the seriousness and keep it from being too deep, if that were even possible with this, seeing as how well it was written.
I particularly loved how you ended this part with her signing of the letter, wonderful.
The one thing I noticed was that this "was" should have been a "were." Otherwise, this was, indeed, flawless in all ways.
Orbulon and the Founder of Symol Hole: Part Two by tashni
I liked the recap. It was brief and to the point, and worked. I don't think it would fit well with every series, but for this one, it works nicely.
The first bit with Jhudora was a bit confusing, which I have to attribute to your refined style. What really confused me was this: Jhudora's furniture needed replacing and she only had the one outfit after the last one got torn in a battle with Chiazilla. I...just did not get that second part, with the clothing, and it just messed the entire paragraph up for me... Then, though, it got incredibly humorous, and that was awesome. I'd quote the funny parts, but then I'd be arrested for plagiarism. ^_^
I knew, just knew that, with Orbulon around, the Everlasting Flame wouldn't be so everlasting in the end, but when it at last hissed out, I couldn't help but laugh out loud! And a buff Faellie? That has got to be a funny sight!
This was just so well-written, that these simple, unending mishaps just all seemed all the more funnier. It was awesome, it surely was, Tashni. I have to pity Orbulon, though; he's so, so unlucky that one cannot do much but pity him. It's sad, but hilarious, to be honest.
I have another question, and as last time, I am sure it will end up being two. The question: How are the written Orbulon works and the Little Orby comics related? I seem to take it that this started after the end of the second short story, yet that wouldn't fit with the comic series... Hey, I actually asked only one question this time! Whadya think of that? Um, err, nevermind... lol

I'd quote the funny parts, but then I'd be arrested for plagiarism. ^_^ I can see how that would be confusing. For some reason, I had a sudden urge to bring up Chiazilla. The poor massive Chia just vanished in the mists of Neopian time . . . *snicker* Yeah, I've though of drawing a buff faelie just to see if I could do it. Yeah. Poor little guy. If you think he's unlucky in this one, you should read "Orbulon and the Queen of Mystery Island." Compared to that one, Orbulon's got it easy in "Founder." Well, I have it in my mind that "Little Orby" operates separate from the Orbulon stories. I don't have the comic set at a particular time in between the stories. I guess you could say "Little Orby" occurs sometime in the not-so-distant future. When I've finished the Faerieland saga, I've thought of writing the comics in story form, but I don't know if that would be allowed. I should ask Droplet. |
