Of Holes and Headaches by Komori and tambourine_chimpThe art was nice, and I enjoyed how the jokes pokes fun at the fact that owners will willingly shove Petpets down holes. I also liked the angle of the last panel, very cute. ^^ Slippery Slorg by Tee and AiyakhioriThe fact that the Slorg broke through the panel made me laugh, and I liked the unique art style. Awesome! Opportunist by HuntyAnother great Shad and Saura! I like the detail on and the rockers and--is that Count Von Roo in the first panel? Right corner? He reminds me of Count Von Roo.  Nice shading too. Family Meeting by Kat and MandaThe art was very cute, but the last panel made it all worthwile. I started to giggle. A.C.A.R.A. by NadiaI really enjoyed the art style, the joke was cute, and you did a good job on the Shop Wizard and Ticket Salesman.

Sand Balls by fj0rd and goosher
I liked this a lot. The random mixed well with the story line, and wasn't overdone. I loved the bravely retreating.
A Tiny Adventure by Dimi
I didn't exactly see the point of bolding that. I think the point was made clear enough with out it, and it just confused me.
Maybe I'm stingy with bolding, but again it seems out of place.
Ok, now that I'm done reading it, the whole piece wouldn't have lost anything if you had taken out all the bolding and italics. But that wasn't a major problem. This story was good. The only problem I have with it is that I don't think there was enough character development. The guy was running around, and as the reader I didn't understand the motivation. I didn't feel connected to him.
But I did love the ending. That last section was very well connected to the beginning and I loved that.

I think th editorial deserves a mention here, as it is a salute to all the members who made Faerie Wars a whopping success:
You can't ask for a bigger acknowledgement that that!

Yes, that was awesome.  Oh yeah, although this isn't by an NTWFer (as far as I can tell), this is a pretty interesting read. |

xD I woulda been very surprised if the Fae Wars thing wouldn't have made it in the editorial. Great work, guys. Simply great. Opportunist by HuntyAnother great Shad and Saura! I like the detail on and the rockers and--is that Count Von Roo in the first panel? Right corner? He reminds me of Count Von Roo. Nice shading too. Thanks ^^ Nah, it's a random Halloween Blumaroo. They all look like Von Roo, or infact Von Roo is a halloween Blumaroo, not sure which way it works. And on a side note, the reason why Fj0rd got in twice this week was the collab. That's the only way for bending the once-per-issue rule. I do that all the time x'333 Bytheway, is anyone else all o__o about this comic? And here we are struggling to slip in violent scenes and suchlike. |

It might be helpful, Goosh, if you put a link to each piece under the name.  People can access it easier that way. |

You'll get to update it all week as new members join and ask to be added to the list. ;D 0_= SHORT STORIES A Tiny Adventure by DimiI agree with Kitty on some things: the bold isn't really that necessary. I also felt that you didn't need to use specific Neopian names for everything (i.e. Furwitch Pillow=Pillow). It just kind of distracts form the story in my opinion. But I really liked this story! A had visions of the Zafara riding the Zomutt around the house. And, of course, what potion doesn't have a counter-potion that can be formulated from thing's in an average mad scientists garden? I think 'scream' is a bit strong here, and the last bit isn't grammatically correct--But I'm just nit-picky. Overall, though, I really loved this story. ^^ And congrats on this being your first! A Sprinkling of Trouble by CVYou have a great sense of humour, CV! I couldn't find anything wrong with this story. ^^ |

Of Holes and Headaches by Komori and tambourine_chimp
The poor Meepit. -_- This comic is so adorable: the artwork is wonderful, smooth lines and wonderful coloring (I love Meridell Castle in the background, it really balances it out), and the Meepit is just so adorable. I love his little WAUGH! And the Gelert looks so oblivious, it's just great, all of it.
Slippery Slorg by Tee and Aiyakhiori
The Slorg slipping through the comic was quite funny, though the joke itself sadly did not do it for me this time. Still, I found this funny, and the art was quite good.
Opportunist by Hunty
As always, the art was wonderful. Towards the beginning, I was wondering what was going to happen, because it was seeming rather normal, but the end definitely changed that, and I found the joke hilarious! Great job.
Family Meeting by Kat and Manda
This comic was simply amazing. The art was quite good, the expressions all very nice, and the little diamond-like sparkling things at the corners of every frame were quite a nice touch. The joke was just amazing as well; from the start it sounded so...presidential, that not only did I find that funny, the "problem" itself was made even more hilarious. Wonderful comic, you two, just great.
A.C.A.R.A. by Nadia
The art was simply stunning, and it was very good. The joke, too, was great. The poor Acara... It somehow reminded me of eBay, the shop wizard scene, but that's not a bad thing, just even funnier.

Nice shading too.
The "Faerie Wars" were simply a prank they collectively pulled on Neopia and, just so you realise how cool the whole prank was, we'll add that they did so without any assistance on our part (well, aside from the lovely Droplet catching on and deciding to publish the submissions involved).
