The Neopian Times is the weekly Neopets newspaper first released on January 25, 2000. Released every Friday, the content of the Neopian Times is all user-submitted, ranging from articles about certain Neopian features, fan fiction told through stories to comics. It also features an editorial by actual Neopets staff members that answer user-submitted questions about Neopets.
The Story of the White Weewoo[]
How did the White Weewoo become the mascot of the Neopian Times? Well, it all started when a user wanted her Weewoo White as a homage to Harry Potter's snowy owl companion, Hedwig. She and her friends then began to submit entries that included subtle mentions of White Weewoos; their efforts soon paid off, as the White Weewoo was officially unveiled on October 28th, 2003, with TNT member Snowflake giving away White Petpet Paint Brushes to all successful publishers of that edition.
1000th Edition Celebration[]
To commemorate the 1000th Edition of the Neopian Times, a new site theme, avatar, clothing, and Gold Weewoo were released. Additionally, as of this special edition, TNT will now reward all approved publishers with a trophy and exclusive prize:
That's not all! We also want to give a big thank you to everyone who has made the Neopian Times what it is today! To all who have ever submitted an entry, we want you to know we see you, and it has been an honour to be trusted with your stories! We look forward to reading even more entries to come, and we are excited to announce we have now updated the awards!
For any accepted submissions, you will now receive a trophy and a prize for all your hard work! This upgrade has been a long time coming, and we sincerely thank all who have submitted before this! It is truly touching to know so many passionate artists participated for a myriad of reasons before now! And for any newcomers, we are looking forward to seeing what stories you have in you as well!
