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. :)

" 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"
That's when getting predicts is a good idea ;)

Hey, if there is a major shift in application of the rules in any categories, that the site would like to put into place, such as what qualifies for themed customs or how edits percentages are done (totally off the top of my head since I am clueless on such things), it might be good to start with a short editorial by Skitty, (so no one unfairly blames Graymare).on the plan. And thank you in advance for all the effort to update all our rules. *hugs*

@ Spice (#1431) - Changes are dictated by slash or myself, Skitty has stepped away from Aywas for the time being to focus on her offline responsibilities. Thus whatever blame there may be, falls squarely on my shoulders. Any changes you may see are most likely not deliberate (the only ones I can think of were slash's instructions, such as for themed custom makers.) but likely due just to me being new to the position and not knowing any better. If I'm walking all over precedent, feel free to toss me a PM. There's no way for me to know I'm making a mess of things if nobody ever says anything. n-n;

Good job. Ty for being so fast with keeping things up! :) Also I totally voted for what's most impt to me. I am so stressed about all the designs I have needing BCC/BCO now that they might not fit the winter theme. Since some are color commissions, I can't be going back to artists to ask for edits or change anything without their permission. Its gonna be more money needed..
