Neopian Times

68.54.76.102: /* How it began */

'''The Neopian Times''' is the weekly [[Neopets]] newspaper, first released on January 25, 2000. Originally featured only some articles, but has become a large weekly project filled with comics, short stories, and continued or new series. It also features an editorial written by site administrator and Neopets co-creator [[Donna Williams]]. It is an extremely popular feature on the site. Dubbed "fan fiction", as none of the stories/comics take place in actual Neopets History.

IT ALL BEGAN WHEN MY POOP CAME OUT OF MY BUTT AND FELL INTO DA' TOILET! HEHEHE! POOP WILL RULE!
P.S.-MY NAME IS POOP. TRY TO CATCH ME!

==How it began==
===First look===
The Neopian Times started out not as pretty as it is now, but people could still send in stuff. The first issues were short stories, series that were pretty short and articles. The comics were NOT in the Neopian Times. It was only later on did they appear.

The first look of the Neopian Times had a banner of a man and a woman in 80's style with the text "For an easier life". This page still exists, but the links to the stories and comics don't work anymore.

[http://images.neopets.com/nt/ OLD old Neopian Times]

===Second look===
The second was made out of tables and most of them still had no comics. You can find it here: [http://neopets.com/neopiantimes.phtml Old Neopian Times]. On issue 57 the comics page started. This newspaper had an Guild Spotlight, showing and telling about one of the guilds in Neopia. The Neopian Times stopped doing this though. The banner was replaced by a Jubjub reading the Neopian Times.

===Third Look===
The third look was a bigger version of the second look. Changes that came with this look is the Quote of The Week (quoting something out of a story etc.), on the right there is something called More Stories, in which you can click one without having to go to the Story page and the big buttons that you used to navigate with have been turned into small buttons.

The banner with the Jubjub was now changed to how many Neopians had read the Neopian Times instead of just saying 12,500,000.

[http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?week=149 Older Neopian Times]

Note that the link is to the last issue of the Third look. Use the Weeks thing to go back and few older issues.

===Fourth look===
The most recent one, and the one that most people know. It is a little bit like the third look, but it is easier to navigate in. It is not just a pile of text. The featured stories on the front page are in a blue table for example. The buttons with comics, articles and stuff have been replaced with text and a random caption is posted on the left, under the banner. The banner is now The Neopian Times with 1 blue quill on each side.

==Editors==
===Mr. Shankly===
"Quite Frankly, Mr Shankly"

The former Editor was Josh or better known as [[Mr. Shankly]], but he left in issue 75. His trademark was his love of dung and most of the submissions in his last issue as editor as a farewell gift reflected his love of dung e.g Hippiesoul's The Dung Hero.

===Snowflake===
The Editor who replaced him was Felicia or lovingly known as Ms Snowflake. She worked at Neopets in various roles (such as Email Support) and rose the ranks to become the Neopian Times Editor until issue 195.

She has now left Neopets to become an accountant.
===Droplet===
Droplet then continued on and took the job of Editor. She was Snowflake's assistant.

==Neopian Times Inside Jokes==
===White Weewoo===
The White Weewoo is a petpet on Neopets. The author [http://neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=laurensama Laurensama], also known as Linny, wanted an White Weewoo to resemble Hedwig from Harry Potter so much, that fellow authors hid White Weewoo references in their stories, comics and articles.

The White Weewoo has become one of the symbols for the [http://ntwriters.proboards53.com/ NTWF] and was found on 23 October 2003. Snowflake gave the authors who were published in the week that the White Weewoo was released a White Petpet Paintbrush. October 28th could be seen as an Neopets holiday for writers, as the White Weewoo was officially released that day.

The first official drawing of an Weewoo in the Neopian Times was for this story: [http://neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=14001&week=113 The Weewoo of White]

POOP IS GOOD FOR YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. IT BE A GOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUM TOO. YOU EAT POOP? ME TOO! HAHAHA. YOU PEOPLE IS WACK!

== About the Articles, Stories and more! ==
With the Neopian Times, there are 4 categories of submissions: Articles, Short Stories, Series, and Comics. Each is unique in their own way.

=== Articles ===
Articles usually do not tell a story. Articles are informative, and the subject of one can range from an [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=67978&issue=185 Interview With Sloth's Mom] to a [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=102604&issue=199 list of Tips For Creating Neopet Names]. Articles inform or teach people how to do, play, or win something. Not all the articles have to be informative. There can be fun articles, like lists of Are you addicted too... and 100 things to do with....

=== Short Stories ===
Short Stories are very different from Articles. Short Stories have a beginning, middle, and end all in 1200 to 4000 words. They are not separated into any parts. Short Stories can be a comedy, an adventure or horror. You can write a story dedicated to someone you know, although it has to be in Neopia, or you can write about a book item on Neopets. Like, the Magic Paw, you can write the story of the Magic Paw how you think it goes.

=== Comics ===
Comics are different then the other two. The comic is made out of pictures (drawn by yourself) and need to have a joke. A serious comic series can also be made and submitted, although you do need to send atleast 2 comic parts at a time. Comics need decent art and a good, understandable joke.

=== Series ===
Series are long stories that have around the 1500 words for each part. The longest a series can be is 12 parts. These are stories with a plot that is too long for a short story. For example, it turns out to be 4600 words, it's 600 higher than the maximum limit for short stories. You can then divide it in 2 parts for a 2 part series.

=== Editorial ===
If you are lucky, you can submit a question and get it answered in The Neopian Times. These are on the 'editorial' page in the Neopian Times, and they go from gameplay questions, to suggestions to questions about the merchandise.

Briana

Briana is an Air Faerie that gives out special quests and prizes. Only available to Neopets Mobile users.

Jelly World

2006-06-13T16:34:24Z

68.54.90.128: /* External Links */

[[Image:Jelly 2005 01.gif|right]]

In a very distant corner of Neopia, a strange town exists built entirely of orange jelly. Nobody knows how it got there, perhaps a magic spell that backfired, or perhaps it was commissioned by an eccentric Neopian billionaire with a sweet tooth, who knows! Visitors are always reminded to not eat the buildings.

The first reference to Jelly World was in the New Features section on 30th March 2002, where it says "...and of course the upcoming new world 'Jelly World'...". Countless times [[The Neopets Team]] has denied the existence of Jelly World (which, interestingly, was TNT's first reaction to Robotic Pets - See New Features 18th December 2000). It is their own little secret :)

Jelly World has had several links to by people claiming it exists, including one in a quote by ''Prisoner Five'' in [[Cellblock]], but the real link is: http://www.neopets.com/jelly

The most notable attraction is the [[Giant Jelly]], simliar to the [[Giant Omelette]] in [[Tyrannia]], but each plate of jelly only gives out two servings.

Jelly World was also involved in the minor '''Missing Petpet''' plot, where millions of [[Petpet]]s attached to a [[Neopet]] ran away on the 12th June 2003. They were, in fact, gorging themselves on the [http://www.neopets.com/jelly/greenjelly.phtml Green Jelly] in Jelly World and shortly returned on the 24th June 2003.

68.54.144.201:

Neopets is the greatest Virtual Pet Site on the Internet. It is a community of over 70 million virtual pet owners across the world, or so they tell us. The truth of the matter is that as of 1:26pm EST on August 17th, there are 103,115,649 total owners, and 148,986,365 pets. There was a time when there were many more pets than owners, people don't seem to like pets quite as much as the used to though.
