Announcement: Tentative 2014 Summer Slot Counts and Limits

Some people have asked about the Summer Breeding season, and we wanted to get out information well in advance. We do not have a tentitive opening date as of this time. As we have said before, our intention is to finish all the remaining 2013 orders before opening the Summer Breeding Season.

Please be aware of the following slot counts and limits and adjust your plans accordingly.

The following slots are available for Summer 2014:
(Please remember, slots are for individual wyrms, not breedings. A pair of clutchmates counts as TWO slots.)

Unavailable:
  • Leviathans
  • Great Wyrms
Artist's Choice Items:
  • 4 Standards (including Big Q-blessed)
  • 4 Minis (Royals, Castiel-blessed, Crowley-cursed, infected, etc.)
  • 6 Wyverns
Regular Items:
  • 12 Tea-Cup Cats/Dogs (Pure-Bred)
  • 100 Tea-Cup Slots (Sciggles)

We are not taking many larger orders for this breeding season in order to make sure that we have time to catch up and possibly get ahead before Winter. We realize that we have an issue with wait times and want to make sure we can get things done. We fully expect to have more large-order slots in Winter.

As such, these items are 'Artist's Choice', meaning that every request entered within the first 48-hours will be considered for these slots, and HopefulMonster will choose those which ones she feels excited about sculpting. We understand that some might not see this as particularly 'fair', but the usual first-come first-serve would not work in this case.

It is unlikely that someone will get BOTH a Mini and Standard slot. You may still request both, but you are very unlikely to receive both. In the case of clutchmates, either both will be accepted, or neither.

---

For Tea-cups, there will be a starting limit of 3 slots per person.

After the initial rush has died down, if there are any tea-cup slots left, we will open them up to the general public and the remaining slots will be filled as 'Artist's Choice'.

Thanks for the heads up!

LET THE SCRAMBLING COMMENCE! :U

Quick question; Does that mean I can put in my request for the Big Q blessed angler? If so, would that go as a standard (since is a standard size) or mini (since you have the blessed option there) I'll more than understand if it gets passed this season, I figure I am not going to lose my spot in Kai's line as long as it's not a lack of interest on my part. XD

Big Q blessed go under 'standards'.
I will tweak my wording. I mean minor blessings/curses for minis.

So if you get three teacups in. What if you have a mini request too? would that be able to possibly go in?

Limit is on tea-cups only.

You may still submit a standard or mini request ontop of that.

Not at the moment.
I imagine it won't be until August.

Is there going to be a pre-approval stage before the breeding opens again? Also if so, is it possible to pre-approve say 5 teacup breedings even though you then only submit 3 of them initially (as per the limit), waiting incase you then can grab 2 more slots if there's any left after the rush? (which would then be pre-approved and ready to go if they were pre-approved)

Thanks :)
