Secre Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I got into the neopian times with my first submission! I am far too pleased for my own good but I am far too chuffed! I didn't think I'd got in originally as I'd got a neomail saying it was being considered...which I assumed was a polite rejection. But YAY! I'm in! EDIT: I even have a pretty trophy!

looneybin21 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Congratulations! I'm too lazy to write anything and I suppose, too scared of being rejected. What did you write about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 The title was 'employment in neopia', and it was based on how bad the businesses in neopia were...I can't remember exactly what I wrote but it was based on that. I can't get over the fact that I got in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdcd Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Congratulations! I am going to check out your new trophy :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 It's a very pretty trophy! I never realised you got a trophy!!! Happy days! EDIT: I actually keep refreshing my user page to make sure it's still there. And it seems to be there to stay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah B. Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Congrats! I've written a few short stories in my time, but I doubt they would be considered appropriate enough for Neopets :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingeevee Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congratulations! I remember making my own board when my first article was posted for the Neopian Times x3 My current article was on last Friday's NT so now I have 2 of the NT trophies! Keep on writing and keep earning more! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be exciting! I've never really tried before but I'm sure it's a pretty hard feat to accomplish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congratulations! I'm working on entering an article for the NT so hopefully I get published once it's finished. I might even write a short story once I figure out what to write about. :graduated: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLiz Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congrats! That's awesome. :D I checked out your profile to look at the trophy too. It's pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congrats! That's awesome, and such a nice trophy. I'm going to have to write something sometime, so I can hopefully get something put in. :) I'm going to be on the look out for your work. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congrats! I love that trophy so much. But even cooler that the trophy is the avatar you get for 10x NT! Makes me want to write something... Anyway, I can't wait to see your work in the NT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Congrats. I'd write a story there, but I'm afraid that they'd decline it for being too dark or frightining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have to admit I doubt I'd ever get 10 items in as it took me long enough to try to think of an idea for one item! By the way, when they say a future episode, does that mean the next one? As I'm going to keep checking until I find it! And when does each Neopian Times come out?

Riverus Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 That's so exciting! I got a story in at Christmas time. I actually submited a short story and a series before that, both of which I felt were better than my Christmas story, but bother were rejected for "too many entries submitted". I resubmitted the series a month and a half ago or so, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm also typing up a new series based on a story I wrote a couple years ago. Good luck to everyone else trying to get in! I'd love that Neopian Times avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With motivation, anything is possible! xD Generally, you get in a couple of weeks after you were accepted. And the NT comes out every Friday, which is today (as of time of typing post)!

tempdisplay Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Congratulations! I remember my feeling when I got accepted the first time :D Can't wait to read it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 And in addition I have a grey paint brush for getting in during grey week! And I am now in! This weeks neopian times. 'Employment in neopia' is the title and it's in articles! In fact: http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=487017&issue=439 is the link. You can tell I'm still far too chuffed!

looneybin21 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Very clever article. :) I don't normally read the Neopian Times, but I enjoyed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I just finished reading your article. It was very good. So cute too, as Freaky Factory is one of my favorite games. And congrats on the Grey PB too. That's awesome! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadows4fairy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Wow congratulations! :D It was a really funny article. I can't believe you thought of all those things :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh, and I had to mention, I think my favorite part of your article, is where you point out that the Freaky Factory building is the same color as the Grundo thief. :laughingsmiley: That was great. I'd known that the building was purple, but never put it together that it was the same as the Grundos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was concerned that the tone of it wouldn't be what they were looking for, but it seems to fit well with Grey Day! EDIT: I've never had so many neomails in my life! My favourite so far links me to the neopedia article explaining what is really going on in the Freaky Factory: http://www.neopets.com/neopedia.phtml?neopedia_id=256 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anisha Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Your article was too cute! I liked it. Well, congratulations. I am actually too lazy to write anything right now. :P And I am afraid I will get rejected, just like everyone. I am a Neopian Times reader and just love reading those articles. And I really liked yours. Keep up the good work and keep writing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
