Is it safe to have artificial replacement limbs?

Okay, since I've seen characters on the site with formerly-amputated limbs (like Captain Threelegs or the Cannon Master from Curse of Maraqua), and since one of my pets (Davey Bones, a Pirate Eyrie) lost his wings in a battle and gets them replaced with a pair of Charred Steam Wings, would it be allowed to write a story about how he received the new wings?

Well, I can't say I've heard TNT say anything one way or another about prosthetic limbs in the NT, but since they did say this regarding the loss of actual limbs: (From Editorial 583)

Okay, so I was looking up advice for what I could and could not do in a Neopian Times issue and I found a place saying that "injuries that won't go away after awhile, such as amputations" were not allowed. So, I just have to ask: do you mean that Neopets who have missing limbs from the get-go are banned, too? If so, it just seems, well... wrong. There are kids out there -- probably playing Neopets -- who are missing an arm or leg. I'd really like some clarification, please. ~tansyuduri

Disabled Neopets are fine (we do have Captain Threelegs, after all!), but it's mostly how it's handled in the writing that's important. If it's dealt with in a disturbing or morbid way, then it wouldn't be appropriate, but if it's handled maturely, that's fine. If the scene deals with a mad scientist severing a Neopet's limb, then no, that would certainly not be acceptable. If rubble falls onto a Neopet and he wakes up in the hospital with his leg amputated, then that's more likely to be accepted. However, please keep in mind that our NT Queen is the final judge on what's acceptable to publish in the Neopian Times.

...Then I really don't see why not.

Ah, so I won't say HOW it happened (Scarblade), but I can still write about when he GETS the replacements - him getting the replacements is what the story is about (How Bones Got His Wings Back), so yay!
