This is one avatar that is going to take a long time and a lot of work for me to get. I'm assuming even if I got accepted for every article I might send in that would still mean it would take about 10 weeks :( I did send an article in awhile ago but never heard back from them, pity really would have been a good start... They've probably released this avatar because the quality of the Times lately has been going down its repetition after repetition (just recycled ideas it seems), probably if they get more people applying then new ideas may come in!

Medusa, don't feel bad that you never heard back, I've submitted a few articles and never heard anything, not even a rejection notice.

Keep trying, I'm sure you can make it!

I'm glad you all like it. :)

Felicia and I wanted to do something special for 150, so we bugged Snarkie to make an avatar.

Medusa, while some people say the quality of the Neopian Times has been going down, that's not why the avatar was released. We just want to reward those who work hard. :)

It's a great looking avatar! This will definitely make me put my idea's down on paper and send them in :)

Yeah, it be a shiny avatar, but I'm not one to just go and write up articles and comics just for it. Not worth it and I'm sure some avatar collectors will be flooding NT. :(
Guessing it is the for those who worked hard on those series comics/series

150 avatars...already? Wow.

Hey, anyone remember what the first species day avatar was?

Thanks Everconfused, I'll be sure to submit another couple of articles/stories when my writers-block decides to take a holiday and my inspiration decides to come home from his holiday ;)

i can write articles but i find it tough to write "neopian times" friendly articles. :D

Similar to Mystique, I have quite things I could write a Neopian Times worthy article on... except that they wouldn't accept it due to the harsh criticism of the system it would contain. ^^;

Well, that's why you have to be in 10 times. So that nobody will send in stupid articles and stories 10 times. XD


Avatar #107.


How the heck did you get x78???
Dude, you scare me.

Oh, I don't think I could ever get that avatar. I've never gotten anything accepted into the Neopian Times, and I've submitted quite a lot...I'm always at a loss for decent Neopets-related ideas that would make a good article or story, it seems :(

Fri Jul 23, 2004 7:42 am

10x :o man, ill never get it :(

Being a writer, I absolutely love this avatar. <3 I want it so bad. It's my favorite one so far.

Hmm, I'm going to have to start writing some stories or something. I have always wanted to write a Neopets story and send it in, but I've never been much for fanfics (which writing about Neopets seems to me). I had an awesome idea for one back during the war. I never got around to putting it down, though. Now I wish I had. lol

Since I'm now involved in several Neopets role-playing stories, maybe I can get some ideas and whip something up. :)

Btw, did I mention how bad I want this avatar? ;) lol

that's probably the only reason they made it - to get more and better entries :P sneaky tnt...

Fri Jul 23, 2004 10:14 am

wow.. shiny... 8)

but.. i can't write, so, i'll just have to stick it in front of my nose instead. :P

and i doubt they made it just to increase the number of articles, it doesn't necessarily increase the quality, and i feel a little sorry for the editor, because now they are doing to have to wade through all of this ;)

Blast, TNT never accepted my articles :( This is one avatar you won't expect me having :cry:
