On June 13, our once-little guild turned six months old. A lot has changed at NTAG since I first created it back in December, wondering if there was any chance of one or two people joining. Since then we have gotten many wonderful, active members, including our terrific council who keep the guild running, as well as others who generously contribute their time, ideas, and advice.

In the past half-year, we've seen many of our members get published in the Neopian Times, some even for the first time, and we are proud of every one. Our Beyond the Music project has helped several to reach this goal, and it continues. We have held several contests with great entries and great prizes. We have held the first and second Neopian Times Awards, thanks to the hard work of chimesjon. Meanwhile, thanks to the ideas and hard work of kay3001 and others, we are working on our major guild project of writing a series together, and I hope that you all will contribute to that. Our favorite Ewok/Mr. Shankly/beanspasm/Josh Filan has graced our guild with his presence, and continues to entertain us with his randomness and occasionally inform us with his friendly advice.

All in all, NTAG has grown into a wonderful guild, something that I never could have expected, and it's thanks to all of the wonderful members that it has. Without you all continuing to bring your talent and helpfulness to the guild every day, it wouldn't be what it is. I hope that you will continue to do so and that others who are not as active will be encouraged to join in and have some fun.
