✦ queue & waitlist ✦

there are two waitlists! the queue and the (proper) waitlist.

they are both meant for folks who may have missed the first opening of slots, as i usually only work on a small number of orders at a time c:

this page has all the info on the two.

let me know if you have any questions!

i'm happy to clarify things!!

keep track of slot progress and availability on trello!

✦ the current queue ✦

✦ who is the queue for?

primarily anyone who missed the regular slots, but also just for anyone else, for any other reason!
the point of the current queue is to let folks who missed the first opening have the opportunity to still grab slots, rather than having to wait until a new batch comes around, as well as limiting how many orders i'm working on at the same time.

✦ how it works

the current queue is a short-term sort of waitlist: as soon as i finish working on a regular slot, the first person on the current queue will be contacted, so that we may continue their order.
this will go on until the current queue list is empty.

i'll always be working on at least three order all at once with the aim to finish them all within a little over a month, and as one of those gets all finished up, i start the next one in line and continue working through.
short-term waitlist. c:
when your turn comes up, i'll send you a message so that we may continue your order! please respond within a week, or your order may be skipped, and the next person will be called.

you can always request to be skipped, or for your order to be postponed, or for it to be removed from the queue!

✦ important notes

the queue has a dedicated number of slots, and a closing date.
once closed, the queue will only open when a new batch comes around.
there's no limit of orders per person, however, i'll be tackling a single person's orders one at a time, so if you order three commissions, i'll be picking up the one and the next person's one order and so on, and your other two will be moved into the queue. c:

the exception is if you're the very last person in queue, then i'll just power through multiple orders together if you're alright!! c:

you will not be charged while being in the queue. i'll be asking for payment only once your order comes up and i can effectively work on it.
the waiting time in the queue is 2 and half months at most, though i tend to work fast. i'll keep you updated!

and i'll keep you updated throughout of any extra delay that comes up as well, or otherwise of updates on progress (and you can always check in if you'd like too!)

in case a queue list closes at is deadline with slots still available, and if you have placed an order in the ongoing batch already and would like to be placed on the queue again, you are free to send another form for extra orders!

✦ the next batch's waitlist ✦

✦ who is the waitlist for?

primarily for anyone who missed both the active slots and the queue slots, or just for anyone else, for any other reason!
the waitlist is a long-term, old-fashioned waiting list: the people on it will be contacted shortly before commissions are reopened, and will have slots reserved for them if they wish to continue.

✦ how it works

once all active slots and current queue slots have been taken, or in case of a planned opening ahead of time (which is rare but possible), the next batch's waitlist opens.
this list has a limited number of slots, as well as a closing date.

all waitlist orders that are confirmed will be moved to the batch's active (in progress) list of orders, and if the active list is filled out, then any remaining orders will go into the current queue list, on a first-serve basis c:

once i contact you for confirmation on your order reservation, please reply within a week, or your order may remain on the waitlist instead of being moved on to the active list/current queue!

upon request, your order can be skipped or postponed or removed as you see fit, just let me know :)

✦ important notes

there's no limit to waitlist slots per person, but if you have multiple orders, only one (of your choice!) will be moved to the active list, and the rest will remain in the queue.

you will not be charged while being in the waitlist. once the new batch you signed up for is on-going, and your order joins the active list, then the invoice will be sent! c:

waitlists for future batch's are never opened without a set date, so waiting time on those are not more than a month.

✦ final notes✦

no matter which list, please do make sure to send at least character references with your request!!

details can always be discussed or changed or decided on or presented afterwards, but i can't reserve slots in limited lists ahead of time on simple request, since my accepting the order also means i'm sure i can draw the character in question. even if commissions are 100% closed, we can always discuss orders (and i'll make sure to let you know when commissions are back c: )
