Ah, so excited! A little bittersweet this time, though. There was some... frustration surrounding this anniversary issue on the Neoboards.
I still remember these special issues as a chance to celebrate the Times, both by new and old creators alike. But now... I might not submit for another anniversary issue again. Just too much drama around it.
Anyway, with this comic I complete my comic trilogy! Made possible by a quick succession of special issues. It was fun to make.

darkobsession here .. I can't believe I finally got the special edition avatar x
I would love a review of my article xo
Also I have a question : I included bold text and attached images with my entry, but they didn't show up in the NT issue .. also I used the correct HTML like < img src = > .. I was published 20 times before, most of them articles, and I never had this issue until the last 2 articles I sent .. actually , they completely messed up my previous article (Items That Capture The Essence of Neopets) ...

Ah, you're supposed to use square brackets, like you would with the Neoboards. Angle brackets are eaten up by the submission form. Sorry that happened to you. |

NOW I remember ...!!! It's been a while since I used HTML ...
Also I now remembered one NT editor once told me to just send the image links without the HTML ... which I did for my Marble Pets article ...
I seem to have lost my marbles ...
I guess I'll contact Stone and let him know I want to edit the article ... or not .. I don't know .. the lack of communication from JS/TNT is concerning ...

I've also forgotten about square brackets, so my bold fonts, images and a hyperlink are gone :')
Was also thinking of asking about re-editing my article but it's probably gonna be futile, so I'll just close one eye and inwardly admonish myself for making a rookie mistake.
And yes, so much unnecessary drama. The obstinacy and denial... overwhelming. I was glad for a moment that the NT boards were bursting with vigor but after all the negativity, I'm even more relieved now that it's died down.

Gelquie “Capitulations of the Fae” review: I loved your take on the whole Bottled Faerie Thing and the whole theme of a less than ideal situation that the faeries have to tolerate. It certainly adds a more nuanced view between “Balthazar being this big bad thing that should be banished” and “Balthazar is altruistic and helping faeries earn money while also helping other pets”—two viewpoints I’ve read in the NT in the past. It is also nice to have some reasonable limitations on faerie power where they could always change something, doing so could completely destabilize Neopia. And yeah, your characterization of Aethia is something I liked as well. She can be a little curt and tactless sometimes when she’s in a rush, but she is also someone willing to listen at times. But yes, more importantly, Aurelia strikes me as someone who has a good heart, but sometimes bites off more than she can chew for one faerie. And yeah, I can understand her frustration and how change can’t always happen overnight even if it’s something that seems unjust. Anyways, it was really enjoyable to read and I loved your take on the Balthazar situation. Thanks for sharing and congrats on getting in!

Congrats all that got in! I'll get to reading tonight and start giving out fanmail soon, I hope :3
I wasn't able to make it into this issue, it looks. I think my comics series was forgotten again during the making of this issue, but I waited until the day before (intended) publishing to message Stone about it, in the hopes that I'd get an acceptance NM last minute. I've got my doubts that they'll respond to my NM now, lol. In the meantime, if you'd like you can still read my comics and the current arc here, and any comments are always welcome~ |

And yes, so much unnecessary drama. The obstinacy and denial... overwhelming. I was glad for a moment that the NT boards were bursting with vigor but after all the negativity, I'm even more relieved now that it's died down. Stone is pretty good at replying to Discord messages if you have a direct request for italics/image requests, or A03 is decently user friendly regarding images in articles.  And... Yeah. The rampant negativity was extremely disheartening to see. Not to say that some of it didn't have its place, but it dipped into meanness and spiraled wildly out of control. I'm still going to write for 1000 because, you know what? I love writing fanfiction for this site and that's not going to change. Congratulations to everyone who made it in! Pat yourself on the back and celebrate this thing that brought us all together. Prize NT or not, avatar or not, it was still a fun NT to write for and full of great content. Even if I didn't make it in, I'd still be happy for the people who did because we support the creative community. And to the folks who did not make it in, know that your work is still valid and that we'd love to see it here, if you're willing to share. ~~ Feel free to throw some feedback on mine. I'll try to get reviews in as I can this week. Feeling a bit low energy from a number of real life things, but I'll do my best to give commentary. Much love to all. <3 Thank you for making this the place that it is today. |

I made a separate thread for anyone who wants to discuss how issue 975 was handled. I will be going through and writing some reviews later. ❤ to the folks who did not make it in, know that your work is still valid and that we'd love to see it here, if you're willing to share. Yes! We'd be very happy to give supportive feedback for anything that was made for this issue, even if it didn't get in. |

belleprintemps Hello! :3 Sorry to hear you didn't get in, I think your comic turned out great! The artwork is both adorable and well constructed, with each panel being visually appealing even in isolation. I especially love the soft pencil texture of the line work and the pastel color scheme. It's also fun to get a little tour of the site's various avatars and their associated activities. Not only does it feel nostalgic for the NT, but for the site as a whole. For suggestions, I think the comic could possibly benefit from one more panel, or perhaps an addition to the current final panel, so that we see what the baby Lupe plans on writing about. I gathered from the end that they plan on writing what they've learned about avatars, perhaps even recreating this same comic in a meta fashion. So the story is there for me to pick up, but a visual confirmation at the end I think would help tie it all together :3 Outside of that, I can't think of anything more I'd add or change; this is definitely an NT-worthy comic, so if in the future you wanted to resubmit it, by its quality alone you should have a good chance!
