I haven't started putting the entries together yet, so you could still try to enter.

Wait, how did I miss that this has started?! I've been online every day!

I'd meant to respond to this earlier (I should just put that in my signature XD), but I guess that makes sense. Have you had to go out for groceries again, or have you stocked up enough so that you won't have to go out again for a while? That's good, but let's hope you don't develop symptoms at all!

Great entries again this round! Thanks for entering, everyone, and congrats to our winners! To find out the theme of the 100th Round of the Runway: click here!

The 100th Round of the Runway is here! Thanks for all the creativity over the years (& the great theme suggestions), and here's to a 100 more! (If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the (updated!) rules, they can be found right here.

As you may have noticed, I haven't been able to update last round's thread to reflect the winners. I actually had issues posting this topic as well. My current theory is that it's related to the images, because I did manage it eventually by saving them all to my computer and uploading them from there (I often just copy the image source, but I think that's probably the problem... ), but I doubt I'll be able to update last round's thread.

Oh wow, that's a lot of stuff to deal with; I hadn't realised home deliveries would be affected in some places. I hope you're doing okay, you're health definitely comes first!

Thanks. I did consider buying it, as it's not all that expensive, but I've had a Plushie Petpet Paint Brush for aaaaaages, and both that paint brush and the Angelpuss were just hanging out in my SDB anyway, so I figured this would be a great time to use them.

Yeah, that's what I'm considering. I attached it yesterday, and was hoping that the problem would fix itself if I just waited a day, but it hasn't, so re-attaching it is probably my best bet at this point. *Edit: nope, no dice. Removed petpet, refreshed the puddle, re-attached it, refreshed the puddle a bunch of times, cleared my cache, but no luck.

Thanks. But Plushie is definitely an Angelpuss colour (I specifically chose the Angelpuss for this pet because I thought the Plushie Angelpuss would like nice with her), so it's not the paint brush. It's just not showing up at the puddle at all. (One of the other petpets I attached, a Skree, is showing up, even though I have no paint brush I could use on it.)

Stupid question time! I finally attached petpets to three of the pets on one of my side accounts, and had intended to paint the Angelpuss Plushie. However, when I go to the petpet puddle, only one of the three petpets is visible, and it's not the Angelpuss. (The other one I can't see isn't paintable, so that one makes sense, I guess.) Is there a simple rule I'm missing? Does the pet the petpet belongs to need to be a certain age for the petpet to be paintable? (My Scorchio is only a week old.) Has there been a change in the "paintability" of Angelpusses? Am I missing something super obvious?

I think it's possible to create an account without making a pet. (Or at least, it used to be, because last year I stumbled on an account I'd apparently made 8 years prior (and had completely forgotten about), and it didn't have any pets on it yet.)

I'm not sure what I did to the first post in this thread, but it's almost impossible to edit it at the moment; the page keeps crashing, being so slow that getting the cursor to show up after I click takes literal minutes, never mind actually typing something. (Firefox keeps showing the bright yellow bar with "A web page is slowing down your browser" and the option to wait or stop the page. Stopping the page does fix the slowness issue, but it will no longer show links as images, and I think it's the reason it won't save my edits. Either way, my last attempt to edit it was so disastrous, I couldn't even get the cursor to show up long enough to paste this text in. I even tried to login on Chrome, but after 3 attempts entering what I'm 99.9% sure is the right display name/password combo, I got locked out. ) So I'll be trying to update it to show the winners, but I'm not sure if/when I'll be able to. I might just make a new post, but for now I'd like to congratulate our winners (aleu1986, FreakyBowie & jellysundae) right here! I did post the info for next round's theme though. You can find it here. And I've created a poll to choose the theme for the 100th Round of The Runway, so you can vote for your favourite themes.

Alright, I've collected all the suggestions for a theme for the 100th edition of The Runway. Thank you for sharing your ideas! You can vote for as many themes as you want (including the one(s) you suggested). I think in some cases similar themes have been done before, but some (like the new faerie one) are so long ago that hardly any of the people regularly entering now will have entered that round, and considering the suggestions for normal themes I've been receiving lately, I think we'll start revisiting older themes soon anyway. Some of the themes are already fairly detailed, but in case one of the ones that isn't wins, I might ask the person who suggested it if they have a more specific idea for it. But also feel free to discuss the themes in this thread, and suggest ways to implement it.

Right now I appear to be unable to edit The Runway thread to show the winners. Not sure what's wrong, but the editor is extremely slow, and it's now failed to save all my edits 2 times. I will continue to try and get it done, but I wanted to post next week's theme anyway, because there's a good chance I won't be able to post the results today.

I'll be putting up a poll soon. ***

I'm one of those people working from home right now, and while I don't like it (I don't mind being home a lot, introvert that I am, but I'm easily distracted, which makes being productive while working from home challenging XD), I'm lucky to be working in a sector (IT) that can easily switch to working from home. I can only admire all the people like you who still have to go into work, and have to deal what all these extra rules and regulations!

I also had a quest disappear on me, and I think refreshing the page is what caused it. I managed to finish it by getting the item in my inventory, closing the quest page tab, and then opening the quest page again from the link on the TDN dailies page.

I've definitely had years without any FFQs during the daily faerie quest event. It's really just luck, no guarantee. (But this year's event is insane, and has doubled the total amount of FFQs I've had in my 16 years on Neopets.)

Really? Interesting. I used a Cookie as well, but have had zero quests glitch on me (I've already done all the quests for this cookie). (I kinda feel like I'm jinxing myself here. ) Sometimes it helps to check colours on Dress To Impress first, to get a good impression of what they look like (especially without the clothes). You've had really bad luck with all those glitches! I did see a staff post (from Jade) on the neoboards, apologising for all the glitches. They're aware of them, and they're working on them, but they've obviously changed a lot for this year's event (different items being asked for; "rare" quests, like the Fountain Faerie, being much more common, etc.), and since they seem to be pretty random, they're probably hard to reproduce, let alone fix. (Speaking as a software developer, glitches that only happen occasionally (instead of consistently) are the worst to fix, because first you have to figure out why they're only happening sometimes, instead of all the time, even though the exact same action is being performed, and then there's making it happen on purpose, so you can analyse/fix it, which is really hard if you don't know how you can force it to happen.)

You're welcome. Haha, that's good. And things like Trudy's Surprise make it easier than ever to get NPs in the first place, so you should be able to save up quite a bit, if you wish.

The quests have been very different this year (like the items they ask for), and both Fyora and the Fountain Faerie have gotten much more common. I just got my third FFQ today as well. (It's insane, I think I had 3 FFQ total in my 16 years on Neo, before this event.) @jally_muse You could do like @Rayd1978 does, and grab a pet from the pound to paint it and put it back, or you could get another pet for yourself (if you've already got 6, you could always make a side account). I'm currently looking at all the most expensive/unique pet colours, to see which pets I like best (there are a ton that I really like and would love to have), to decide which one to get. You can also use Dress To Impress for inspiration, as you get to play around with customistations. (Which is what I'm currently doing, as I really love the colours of the Candy Kyrii, but it's really hard to customise, whereas I also love the Candy Scorchio, which is turning out to be easier to customise.)
