I MIGHT try to edit my current story and get it in, if I have time. But I just have to say... Speaking of combining holidays, here in the US, starting in October, I always lament that "It's not Halthanksmas!" because you can find Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the store all at the same time. I don't know that the phrase translates well to Neopia. But it's there for the taking if anyone wants to use it.

Submitted an article that I co-wrote with my guildmates, marcthegr8est1 and marshclan13_, about alllll the holiday re-release capsules about to be made available in the NC Mall. *rubs hands gleefully*

I did not make it in and am kind of mad at myself for it.

I don't believe tonight is a super hard deadline for April Fools; you could probably still have a chance at getting considered if you submitted by next week, although those running the theme may know better than me lol.

I am looping in a neofriend of mine and we're aiming to have it done later this week. I figure as long as we get it done no later than a week before, there should be enough time for Mac to read it over (here's to hoping, anyway). I'm over 900+ words, but I am planning on collabing with 4mandy4 on this one.

I did not make it in and am kind of mad at myself for it. What's your username, Allison? I'll add it to the list under WIP, so that the editor knows you still might submit. Without having checked with the editor, I'd say get it in by next Friday at the very latest.

Yeah, won't be able to enter it until Sunday/Monday myself. But as Twillie said, today isn't a "hard" deadline but rather a "okay everyone start submitting NOW or SOON cause I gotta format the article and figure out how much space I got for everyone". Obviously sooner the better is the case, but it's the difference between reserving a ticket and assuming that they have a reasonable amount of extra tickets near day of due. June Scarlet Do you mind adding me to that list, lol. 😅

So... quick question for if I do end up submitting... Did we decide on a united reason that all the holidays are being celebrated at once? Pretty sure I can still edit this thing to at least include more than "Day of Giving." Especially if I use the generic "Pet days" and "birthdays."

From this petpage (which I think I forgot to post earlier) Duke Pikachu You are added to the list.

Okay. Quick question... How do we deal with site conversion for a story that's more "in cannon?" Are we just breaking right through that 4th wall without a care in Neopia? I mean... I can deal with that. Or should we try to make it fit with being in Neopia? I already have TNT in my story, so I figure I can go about this two ways.
1. As I mentioned earlier, break right through that 4th wall and say "site conversion" or "beta conversion" 2. Go with "When TNT was doing.... whatever it is they do behind the scenes."

Sorry for the double post, but it seems like the "work review" forum is... kind of dead. I'd love for someone to read over my revised story, if anyone sees this in time. It actually requried a lot less revision than I thought it would, which is good.

As I mentioned earlier, break right through that 4th wall and say "site conversion" or "beta conversion" 2. Go with "When TNT was doing.... whatever it is they do behind the scenes." I think it's a "own interpretation" thing. Do whatever you feel would be best for your story/article/comic. Personally I kept it meta, mentioning that they had just converted the Neopian Calendar and an "error" caused all holidays to default onto the same day (and by the time that day comes it would be too late to correct it, so instead we're celebrating this very weird event). Since my article is a schedule of holiday combinations throughout the day that works perfectly fine as it ultimately doesn't matter in the end as long as the end result is all holidays are on one day. Sorry for the double post, but it seems like the "work review" forum is... kind of dead. I'd love for someone to read over my revised story, if anyone sees this in time. It actually requried a lot less revision than I thought it would, which is good. I'm more of an article writer than a story, but I can give it a read through and share my thoughts.
