Rules
Greetings!
It's been an interesting first month, but one of my major goals has finally been achieved.
No, it's not a glitch. (pbbt!) That's an empty Crystal Check queue, and that's how it'll stay, if I have anything to do with it. No longer is it faster to submit your pets via the Custom Queue to figure out where they may fall. You'll get equally snappy service no matter if it's a pet submission or a design check, usually within the same day.
Think Tank
I've another favour to request - if you have a Silver Species that was approved to be classified as a site genus (Melo, Oske, Reve, Arion, etc.), could you post it over here, in this Think Tank thread? I'm trying to figure out what the standing criteria were for this, and precedent has been hard to dig up so far. If you've revamped a Silver Species or pet, those would be helpful too, still trying to get a grip on possible Revamp potion limits.
The Poll
Now that the queues have been wrestled down to acceptable levels, what customs related Guide do you guys want first? I'm planning on writing all of these, but I'll prioritize based on what would be the most useful to the most people. You can have a stab at the poll above to let me know. :)

Gosh. Graymare, I just want to tell you that you are amazing, and I've never seen the custom side of things handled with so much love. ;3;

Cess made a WONDERFUL genus change guide here? https://www.aywas.com/forum/topic/2004436520/ My vote went to an official page/polishing up what you got on the holiday custom makers. Putting it on the "help" toobar would be awesome.

Yus, there is an excellent Genus Guide already, I reference it myself - making things breedable would be lovely but I have to cover those guides which involve actual rules first. Stinky, I know. Phtooey.

@ Erithan (#49253) - If you have a design and you're not sure what custom maker to use, Pets - Crystal Check is what you want. You can upload any pet and I'll let you know what item it needs. :)
These are going to be rule-centric guides, focusing on the official side of things in a similar manner to the current Custom Guide. That's why "breedable PSD" isn't an option up there, since there's no rule saying you have to make a nice PSD to get your pet to pass.

Lol, I know gray, just figured I mention it for any other lurking admins haha. But actually yeah, Essgee's suggestion sounds good. I've had breedings sometimes where I reeeeeeeally hoped certain edits would come thru and it ended up not happening just because it was too difficult for the artist to separate them from the base or something

Oh I don't refute that a "breedableness" tutorial wouldn't be amazingly helpful, I agree, I definitely agree! No LBC artist would deny that. (Some of the messes I get ... dear heavens it's enough to make someone cry.) I wouldn't feel right taking time away from customs, at least not until all the general rules are nicely laid out and complete.
