Question about Breeding Season

Okay, I was thinking a few days ago at how many pairings were wanting to get breed this December (Arazia, I think your wyrms alone have like... around 20 XD). I was doubting that HMS isn't going to do every single breeding that is submitted but I don't remember how which pairs were going to be picked.
Is it random? Or is it going through all of them and picking out 1 or 2 each from each owner? Or are there spots and it will be first come first serve?
I only have 2 breedings confirmed for Winter but I'm a bit nervous that all the spots will be taken if I miss the opening of it. ;__;

As far as I'm aware, she isn't planning on limiting slots for breedings.
The only thing I believe she said to me is that larger Wyrms (standards and larger) may go into her commission queue and get finished over time rather than with the Tea-Cups.

Not planning on limiting the breeding slots AS OF RIGHT NOW. That is huge and in all caps because I honestly have NO idea what the total number of breedings is going to be. If the planning threads on this forum and the chatter I keep hearing is right, it's going to be a VERY busy season. And that will be in addition to working on commissions, preparing art for upcoming xonventions, and of course, taking care of Zoe, which comes first.
I'm going to do my very best to include ALL the breedings folks want, as long as everyone is patient and realizes that a wyrm clutch this huge is going to take me a while to complete, particularly the standards. Depending on how long it takes to finish all the Wyrms will dictate if I put a cap on breedings per season in seasons to come. I am only human, and one person, so I'd rather put a cap on the seasons than burn out churning out hundreds of Wyrms every couple of months....especially since I have to do that for conventions as is. ;3
So the answer is, not right now, but this breeding season will determine if I put a cap on the number of breeding requests for future seasons.
I CAN say without hesitation that the wait time will definitely be longer than the 30 day mark given the sheer number of Wyrms people seem to be planning, particularly since the sculpting assistant seems to have flaked out on me. :p

Okay. Thank you for answering. ^^ I wouldn't want to put you in that situation to take in all breeding pairs and then be swamped with over 50 pairings that had 2 clutch mates claimed which got me thinking that you probably weren't going to do that and slots or something would be set up.
Hopefully you can find a new sculpting assistant soon!

*does a thumbs up* HM you know you can take as much time as you need! I'll see you at anthrocon 2013! -I had a feelin you'd be busy and by gods it ain't right to rush art so you know you can take yer time on my big guy when that starts!
Perhaps after this season it might be a good idea to more so limit how many times a wyrm can breed after all!
