Co-Writing Credits

[coming2atvnearu]

So something I've only noticed recently is the Neopian Times giving credit to multiple writers on certain stories and articles. Is this something new? I always thought they said that they would only give credit to a single writer per submitted article.

I've seen many co-credits in comics, but never articles in stories before. However, I could be wrong as I haven't been keepig up the NT lately. But years ago I never saw any co-credit that comes to mind.

I realized that there was an author who got in twice (once for "original" story, once for "co-authoring"). I think it's rather ridiculous. I could write a story and write my friend's name on there, and she'd get a trophy and be closer to getting the NT Star avatar.

What I've noticed is its generally articles and comics that are co written. These kinda make sense to me, since someone might have a really good story for a comic, but not have the ability to draw it, so they enlist a friend to draw, and thus said friend deserves the same amount of credit.

Articles are a little iffy... its much easier to just slap 2 names one it, but again, you might enlist in someones help and believe they genuinely deserve half the credit. I dont think its right for someone to get 2 trophys out of one weeks edition of the NT though, so I hope that didnt happen. (unless of course you submit 3 different things (article, story and comic) and they all happen to end up in the same edition)
