THE NEW MODS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED!! They will officially be added sometime this weekend. Before then, Mod Rose and I still have to take care of requests that are still on the currently posted wait list and put things together to get the new mods up to speed, so during this time of preparation, we are temporarily closing the ask box. We are deeply sorry, and I know some of you have been waiting awhile now. Please just continue to be patient, I promise, we’re trying our best. Thank you. ~Padme

Hey kids, it’s Padme again. Sorry things have been slow, all the mods have had some shit happen to put it simply (myself included, my mental health has been all over the place these past couple of weeks). The good news is, at this point, even if we don’t get every request done, we should have the amount of requests waiting down to a manageable enough number tomorrow that I’ll be able to reopen the ask box for requests!! ALSO, if your request isn’t officially up on the wait list on the requests page, DON’T WORRY. We’ve seen your request, but right now the list we currently have is our top priority because we’ve had so many people waiting. We will be working on yours once we get the wait list whittled down a little me, rest assured. ~Padme

I just realized we never really explained the system of how we take requests. So here’s how it generally happens. As we get requests, if there’s one that a mod really wants (and/or is super familiar with), that mod will claim it. If the mod who updates the request wait list doesn’t see any reason to make sure they’re the mod who gets a specific request, or they feel like another mod would want to do that one more, they’ll either communicate with the other mods about it, or simply put it as unclaimed on the wait list. The mods will do the ones that they claim first, and then take care of any unclaimed ones afterwards if they still have the time and energy to.  This does not mean we weigh the requests by some hierarchy of importance. We generally do the claimed ones first because we know we’ll be able to devote more time to the ones that require some research on our parts if we focus on the ones we have a bit of an easier time doing. Basically, it’s just our way of making sure all of the requests are done with our best work and concentration. So if you see one done before yours, don’t worry!! We’ll still get to yours, we just need a little more time put in to make sure it will be to your liking. This isn’t any sort of issue that’s come up, I just figured it was something worth explaining so that it wouldn’t become an issue in the future. Thanks for reading! ~Padme
