Site Update
Hello gorgeous Aywas players! <3
My name is Mosh, and you've probably gathered by now that I'll be turning the ripe age of 22 during this event! Now, you may be thinking "Wow why would someone make an event for their birthday, weird." WELL. Lemme tell you a thing.
Like a lot of people I suffer from extreme social anxiety and I find it really hard to talk to people and make friends, however thanks to Aywas I have made some amazing friendships! I really think of Aywas as a little home away from home because it has served as a way for me to meet new people with similar experiences and hobbies. My birthday in real life will be spent home, on my computer and probably binge watching Game of Thrones (I'm still on season 1, no spoilers!!) and talking to my friends on Skype. I don't have many people offline to hang out with and to spend time with on my birthday so I thought this would be the perfect time for an event.
I have a thread up in Aywas Talk for chatting and such throughout the event where I will be looking to make new friends (there's also art and item giveaways potentially so there's that too, I mean, if you like those kind of things.)
Please enjoy this week with me. You'll see cute crowns and jewels floating around, make sure to pick them up because they're going to be used in the shop at the end of the week <3
Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me!!
Love,
Mosh
(The event is running through June 29th at 11:59 p.m. We'll give you some time to get a head start on collecting the Gold Crowns and Red Jewel Fragments before opening up the shop. c: Have fun!)

Customs Delay
Site Update
Just a very short note - last night my computer suffered a catastrophic graphics card failure, and is currently out for repairs. I'm on an old laptop but do not have access to the two main programs I use (Photoshop and FileMaker) until my desktop returns, which means there will be very little movement in the Custom Queue and Crystal Check for an estimated 3-5 days. :C Sorry about that folks, I promise there'll be overtime as soon as it gets back from the shop. I'll still be doing Kaz / Shoe fixes, general questions, metals and any designs I remember, and the like. Fingers crossed it's a fast fix.
Don't forget to put down your vote for the next Rock Crystal design!

PLBC/PMBC Rules and Changes
Items
1st:
Please be sure to look at the new artists on the PMBC article and PLBC article.
Some artists have left (noticeably Vulture and Youko) so please replace them in your Painted Pen within the next 48 hours (unless your breeding is already assigned).
2nd:
There have been rules established for requesting fixes to PLBC and PMBC offspring. The outline of the rules has been placed on each of the articles. Fixes fall into three categories: some fixes are guaranteed upon request, some are conditional on whether admin agree with your claim, and some are dependent entirely on whether the artist wishes to make the fix.
Note that you are always welcome to tweak your babies and submit them for overlay if you please, as long as they are not completely revamped.
3rd:
From this point forward, Painted Golds will yield an additional $2.50 artist pay per offspring in the breeding. This means that rare offspring will be paid higher, and if you want, you can attach a Painted Gold to a regular breeding to tip your artist.
4th:
Please observe the new "prompt limits" listed on the PMBC and PLBC's reference page:
Limit your "Theme" description to a maximum of ten words and a maximum of one reference picture. This is not a commission, so please do not be overly descriptive. If the artist wants more detail from you, the artist is free to contact you directly to request more. Themes that are overly detailed or that violate this rule will be refunded.
That is all for changes. Any questions, feel free to ask!

Kaz and Shoe Customs, ho!
Comics
I'm working my way through the huge pile of metals made for Kaz & Shoe's birthday (1,000+ you folks! Well done!) A few of them don't quite meet the requirements for metals though, so if that's happened to one of your gifts, you'll be seeing a blank Ryba or Gael and a pet profile message from me, saying what the problem was. Kaz & Shoe submissions don't play nice with the refund system, so this was the best way I could figure out how to fix them.
Yes, you can keep the blank if you prefer that over trying to fix the custom pet - Otherwise I'll overlay the fixed image onto the blank if you that gets sent my way.
Don't forget to get those Painted Artist applications in!
