Random Contest: Picturesque Postcards from Paradise

[Magica]

http://neopets.com/spotlight_subs/random_contest.phtml

Info and Rules:
This week we have... a writing contest! Yay! (You NT writers can stop sending us letters now. Seriously.)

This week we want you to write us a postcard from your favorite Neopian destination. Mystery Island? Faerieland? Any place you want! Tell us how your trip is going, what you did, who you met, if you drank the water there, etc. We don't get to vacation much, so living vicariously through you all would make us very happy.

Here's an example:

Dear TNT,

I hope this postcard finds you well. I'm in sunny Mystery Island. I don't see what all the fuss is about this place. I keep having to dodge wild Myncis and I can't go out by myself for fear of rampaging islanders trying to cook me in a pot. But other than that, the food is good and they have indoor plumbing.

Wish you were a pile of sludge,

Francis Q. Slothberg

Awww, how touching.

Please confine your Postcards to 300 words or less so we can perhaps get through all the entries in our lifetime.

Please also make it more than 3 words so we don't have to point and laugh and then delete it, which would be very sad.

THAT IS ALL!

Finally! I Random Contest I can actually do!

Here's my entry:

Dear TNT,

How are you doing? Things have been going great my brothers and I at Kiko Lake. My younger brother hates the water but after my two older brothers and me threw him into the lake he eventually gave in and before long we were splashing and playing “Follow the Leader” until sundown. For dinner we shared some delicious seaweed casserole, cider, and ice cream made by a kind old Kiko lady who allowed us to stay the night in her home. She had colorful coral furniture and decorations. My brothers didn't like the pink colors, but I thought it was swell. We also went on the Glass Bottomed Boat Tours and were in awe by the wonders and the beauty of the coral underwater. We also caught a glimpse of a couple of Kiko scuba diving! Our mom also bought us some coral souvenirs to take home with us. I got a nice coral figurine of a Kiko holding a pearl. We also sent you a coral souvenir and we hope you enjoy it.

Wishing you were here,

Why do they call it picturesque if there is no drawing involved?

Dear TNT,

I've just arrived in the Lost Desert. Unfortunately there's not much to see or do around here. Luckily i brought my everlasting apple because there is no food here. All day i see pets carrying sand to and fro and when i try to talk to them they mumble grumblingly under their breath about weird symbols. I'm really bored after my 200th game of Pyramids. I think i'll have to cut short my trip though..my sunblock is running out and there is lots of sand in my clothes..i'll bring you back some sand.

love,
Azzie

Look at it this way, if a picture is included, it wouldn't make much of a difference by calling it "picturesque" would it?

[Wind]

I complained about my lousy holiday in the Lost Desert and asked for a decent t-shirt for my gallery as a prize...

[labbiedor]

Oooh! This one sounds like fun. I have to try it.

[labbiedor]

Dear TNT,

Ahoy there! My pets and I have finally made land in Krawk Island. We have already eaten at the Golden Dubloon, where the food was absolutely delicious! Everybody can't wait to play a game of Deck Ball and Dubloon Disaster. My pets even dragged me in to Krawk Fashion, where all sorts of pirate outfits were on display! I must admit they were nice, but I definately couldn't afford a fancy restaurant AND a Pirate Paint Brush all in the same day! We're all exhausted, but we're all looking forward to finding some of that buried treasure!
Love,
labbiedor

Darn, I'm having trouble entering it, too! It's giving me an error message.

[DM was on fire!]

"Dear TNT,

Greetings from Faerieland! It's really cloudy today, however. I was waiting for it to rain, but it never did. After getting ran off by Jhudora, I made my way into the hidden tower and fell in love with the Faerie Queen Doll, but when I saw the price, I told the Faerie Queen she was too attached to it.

- Super DM Chan"

Yay.

[stampsyne]

sgniteerg morf eht ecaps noitats!

No, it's not gibberish! I've been learning some Grundo language. It might come in handy here. How do you speak it? Apparently Sloth scrambled the poor Grundo's speech receptors. They see and hear each word individually but backwards. So postcards would be sdractsop! Isn't that fun?

[Cerise]

I didnt write to TNT. They wouldnt understand the appeal of the Haunted Woods. So I chose to write to Jhudora from Vira's POV instead. But...I bet theyre going to disqualify me now. And laugh at my pain
No worries, I'll live. My postcard was fun.

[pattypus]

Yay! I can do this one!

And... I entered.

[Breakthrough]

Dear TNT,

I hate you. Exactly WHY did you send me to Faerieland again? I'm a MUTANT GRUNDO goshdarnit. I melt when I'm exposed to cute, fluffy, and faerie things. The petpets that are flying by EVERY HALF SECOND are BURNING my skin. BURNING! It's that bad. And the faeries...oh my gosh, DO NOT get me started on the faeries. And, luckily, there are pets with the same problem as me...but they seem to actually ENJOY Faerieland.

The world makes no sense.

Sincerely,
Rixor

PS: If I get one of those 'I went to Faerieland and all I got was this T-shirt' T-shirts, SOMEONE'S going to get blasted.

I don't feel like submitting one of those 'hi I'm having a great time wish you were here...' letters.

But I keep getting an error when I submit.
