Is that favoritism? Or do they accept them to give the fan-people what they want, to OMGEEZ at the super-writers?

haha
well personally, i think it's favortism. but tnt don't get fan mail from readers, only the authors.
i only read the comics (i don't like reading long things) and there are on-going series where the user has gotten in like tens of times, like 'neopups' & 'spooky' that i really like because those deserve to get in but then some of the other series aren't very good at all...

by the way, nt 300 is coming up so they'd be accepting A LOT more entries for it
plus i think you get an avatar/something coveted if you get in right?

and i know for the comics, just like for nt 200, there are going to be massive crossovers (b/c i got asked to do one but i turned it down) and crossovers are only possible for series comics.

I love Spooky. That's the best. The author always comes up with good jokes.

I recently sent in a comic involving the Lost Isle but I later got a rejection letter saying that the editor did not understand my joke. I'm not really all that surprised about that, though.

I have no idea, then; I've never gotten that far, even. They probably have more than one editor for the Times so just because one person liked it, doesn't mean that when you resubmit the same person will get it. Maybe someone else got it the second time, and, well, there's no accounting for taste, you know.




Nope just Droplet accepts/rejects/holds over submissions

No, it's not favouritism. The people with 100+ trophies write well and write A LOT. When you're submitting every week, your writing's improving, you know how to write a good NT story - you get in a lot. But that doesn't mean established authors don't get rejected sometimes too :P

You should get some kind of reply though. Wait like a week or two, then resubmit. You should have a rejection/acceptance/held over letter.

Hm, if there's really just one editor, I don't think he/she can read through every submission every week, really; there must be a lot of skimming going on.
