For now until May, please direct any questions or concerns you have to the nt_editor neomail on Neopets.com instead of contacting me here. I want to make sure our team can help you out, as I will be out on maternity leave. They are aware of the upcoming April Fools' issue, so please don't worry about that. I would recommend holding off on sending in entries for Issue 700 until May. (It's not until July or so anyway.) Otherwise, the NT should be just as normal. Hi, Droplet! Do you happen to know what is going on with the Times? Will you be coming back as editor in May, or... well... Anyway, many congratulations on the new baby. c: I'm sure you've been super busy these past few months!

Thanks for your kind thoughts on the baby, everyone. I really appreciate it.
Well, it looks like I too have been let go. I have sent instructions on how to run the NT to the Jumpstart staff, so it's possible they can continue it. I hope so! For me, running the Neopian Times was one of the best things I've ever gotten to do and I'm immeasurably grateful to have had the opportunity. You were awesome to work with, guys. You made Neopets more than just a game site. You gave it life and made it a community. I was constantly impressed by your cleverness, your fierce loyalty, your dedication. Thanks for making it fun to come to work every day!

Awww Droplet. ='( I'm so so sorry to hear that. Thank you so much for your dedication to the Neopian Times, being our editor all these many years, and answering all our questions!
We'll miss you terribly. Wishing you the best <3

Wait, what?!?! But, JSN put you in the Staff Tournament. I'm kind of lost here, that's for sure. On the other hand, wow, this is depressing, hearing that, knowing that you'll be struggling to find a job at the same time raising your young one. But we salute you for your hard work and dedication. EDIT: Droplet, seeing as you're no longer part of TNT, I think this thread would be relevant to you now.

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I can say you've done a simply amazing job and we've come to respect and love everything that you do. ... Ugh. Crying my eyes out over here. Seeing as you're a new Mom, that makes it even worse. *HUG squish* You're always welcome at the NTWF, Droplet. We've been honored to work with you for so long and would be saddened to see you disappear from the site.

This is... disheartening, to say the very least.
Droplet, thank you so, so much for all the hard work you've put into running the Times for all these years. We're all going to miss you.

That's awful to hear. This is definitely hard for everyone, so I wish you the best for the future.
Thank you for your work and dedication, but most of all thank you for your passion behind everything. It means a lot to know that you loved the NT as well, and your time spent reading everyone's pieces and answering individual questions has spread that love. Hopefully the NT will continue to thrive after you, but either way we won't be forgetting you.

*sigh*
I am at a loss for words...which is quite unlike me. I will probably never truly understand how you are able to read all of our submissions and give feedback along with fielding all of our questions here. Honestly you helped make me a better, and perhaps more confident writer. I am sorry to see you go after all your hard work and dedication...and I hope you find opportunities to do what you love soon.
