I updated the collab webbie with the next theme: www.neopets.com/~Cleopatra275

As well as cleaned up a few things, and added a list of all the collabs directly on the page here: www.neopets.com/~Cleopatra275#collablist

Carolyn When do you want to start advertising on the Neoboards? I'm wiling to keep up threads on the Neopian Writers and Art Chat. Maybe see if anyone else is willing to volunteer keeping tabs on a thread or two as well. Advertising is probably the hardest part, at least for me, but it really helps get the word out there.

Fabulous! It's looking great, June Scarlet!

Hmm, we can probably start advertising some now, sure. I'd say on the faster boards we advertise for a week or so, then come back a few weeks later to try again. That way we can try to grab the attention of fresh eyes. If it helps, you can put the Neoboard links here (at least of the slower boards that won't poof away).

[June Scarlet]

Okay, I've made threads on Writers and Art Chat. Here's my title:
*weewoo* Next Great Neopian Times Collab - The Cosmic *star*

And here's the opening post:

The next Neopian Times Collab is October 2nd! The theme is the Cosmic. People from across Neopia will be creating submissions based on the theme, however they choose to interpret it.

To learn more about Collabs or add your piece to the list, visit this petpage or post on this thread:

Thank you, and I hope you can join in on the fun!

Writers thread (probably keep until October): www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=160627848

Art Thread (Probably only keep a week, then make a new one in a few weeks): www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=160627854

Anyone is welcome to stop on by and help bump and keep track and answer questions. Also, if you're feeling bold, you're welcome to use the template and creating your own advertising threads on other boards, just post about it here.

I'm tempted to make my short story a series.

[Geodude 🌻]

Proposed Title: TBD
Type: Short Story
Description: Since the faeries originated from another world, they traveled to Neopia via interstellar means. In doing so, they left behind several artifacts that are now deemed to be dangerous. Thus, Queen Fyora must deploy her chief artifact hunter team, Brynn and Hanso. However, to avoid losing them in space, Mira has agreed to serve as a guide. She's never met Hanso before, but she's not too fond of nonsense so this trip could be interesting.

Proposed Title: The Space Faerie Folder

Entry Type: Article

Short Description: Unbeknownst to most Neopians, Neopia is under constant threat by cosmic entities. The only thing keeping Neopia safe from these extraterrestrials is the ever vigilant Space Faerie. The Virtupets Space Station keeps records of these encounters and how the Space Faerie combated the threat. These are just a select array of these files from what is known as "The Space Faerie Folder".

Collaboration: No

Welp (as my young nephew always said when he was younger) my short story has become a three part series. That was fun to write. Unreliable narrator for the win!

[Kat]

I'M DONE WITH CHAPTER ONE

This will probably be around 5 parts, 6 or 7 if I get carried away.

[June Scarlet]

Came up with a comic idea for this while sweeping up the bakery.

Title: Dinner with the Scarlets: Cosmic Comic
Description: What makes something cosmic? Fizxy and Slienax discuss.

Special thanks to Kat and Twillie, for helping with the title, and to Caylista for helping me think more about Alien Aishas this week.

Carolyn asked me to make a new thread for the Art Chat: www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=160692366

I do not have time to keep up with it though this coming week, between my two jobs I could be working up to 60 hours. So please stop by, help keep it bumped, answer questions, and such.

Thank you!

About 3 and 1/2 weeks before the deadline! Checking in with the NTWF folks:

[Duke Pikachu]

Still working on it, will have it submitted before the release date!

[Ian Wolf-Park]

I'm on track for completion by the submission date

[Rebekah]

I finished it and plan on submitting, but I'm still trying to think of a title.

[Kat]

Almost done with part 2, I hope to start part 3 today/tonight.

Since this is a series that will likely be 6 parts long, I am aiming to submit much earlier to allow Aesop time to read it.
