What's happening, ladies, gentlemen, ladlemen, genties, and everything outside and between! Today I propose to you the Neopian Times Review Swap. What is this? The Neopian Times has been running for, let's say, quite a while, and members here have written things for it from all these different eras. Review/Discussion threads usually focus on the past few issues, but of course, sometimes we may want to share something we've written in the past, and sometimes... we want feedback on things that we're still working on! Enter this exchange. How does it work? Simple! You sign up, put your name + work you would like reviewed/read, and you'll be assigned another participant's work to read (or several other participants, depending on how many sign up for this thing.) There's no stated limit on how long/what format these past/WIP/current NT entries are, except that I'll attempt to match you up with someone who has entered something similar into this exchange. If I can't find a good match, I may just ask you to change the nature of your piece, so if your first instinct is to send me something omegalong, please have some sort of backup on hand in case this happens! In this spirit, please also indicate whether you'd be okay with reading/reviewing some piece that's longer than the one you entered in, and if so, how much longer you're okay with! Deadline to sign up is March 7th! Deadline to post/submit reviews is pending. Participants: Moni (Moni) (because what good would it be if I didn't sign up for my own event-thing?)

I'll join the swap. I've only gotten one series into the NT so far, but I'd love to see what someone else thinks of it.

I may be slow to review *swiftly kicks new job* but I'd like to!

I'm interested.
Hm, though, I wonder if I should go with something already published, or something unpublished... I do have something that I've been saving for a future review circle, because I think it needs some workshopping. But I do also have stories that have been published that I'd enjoy sharing.

Honestly I'm a little embarrassed to offer some of my pieces (aslfjalsjfds) and my work has been crazy as of late, but I'm interested!

I hate to have to do this, but I need to cancel my place in this review swap. I think it's a great idea, and I was looking forward to it, but it looks like I'll be too busy with other real life obligations this month.
Hopefully there will be more, and I can join in then!

RebekahGeo 🇺🇦 🌻KatCarolynTwilliehello there! you've all been signed up for this event. now, if you still want to participate, i am going to need 2 things from you 1) the piece you are submitting for review, as well as a backup 2) if you're okay with being assigned a piece that's longer than what you submitted, and if so, by how much. I will try to match up preferences as much as i can, so it is likely but not guaranteed that i will stick to this.

I'm gonna go with my most recent comic arcs: I'm also gonna list Heart to Heart, although as an even more "optional" option lol, since it's still incomplete, but there's still enough there in case the reviewer feels comfortable reviewing it: Since these are comics and quicker to go through than a written series, I'm definitely willing to review more than what I've got here. I think I'm gonna put a cap on six parts for a series as well, just knowing myself and how I can struggle with longform reading, especially when I'm gonna review it.
