Do’s & Don’ts of The Neopian Times

by Snowflake & Matterbug

Feli (Snowflake, the Editor of the Neopian Times) was also kind enough to provide us with a list of what is, and what is not acceptable in the Times. This can be very useful, because if you do one of the NT No-No’s, your submission will be rejected.

The items below were written by Felicia, but Matterbug made them look good, and such.
