Hello, all.

As stated in the title of the journal, I am temporarily closing the Request Bin to new requests. This does not mean that I am canceling the requests currently listed in the Bin, but I am not taking any additional requests until I finish those.

Mostly, I am tired of having requests that have been sitting in the bin for a year or nearly so, so I would like to empty it out. With that statement in mind, I hope it is obvious to all, especially those who have submitted requests in the past few days, why I will not put your request at the front of the line simply because you ask or demand it.

On that note, and I hate to be petulant, but requests submitted in this form: "My character, ______, doing this ______. I'd like it done by Monday." are not actually requests. They are demands. It is not the Demand Bin, and I will more than likely refuse your demand if it is submitted thusly. Courtesy is greatly appreciated during any correspondence.

With that said, however, everyone for whom I have drawn a request so far has been overwhelmingly polite, and has been a pleasure to engage. :)


Additionally, I have not yet been able to begin a project that has been being prepared for some time, so I may alternate working on current requests and the project for some time.

If you are a person who already has a request on my list, and you have read this and are still waiting with bated breath, please comment and let me know, and I will do your requests before those who do not comment.

That is all I have to say right now. I hope everyone has a lovely Easter, or just a nice Sunday.

Thank you.
