Commissions Status: CURRENTLY CLOSED. I cannot take anymore for a while!
* * * * * * * *
UPDATE February 01, 2018:
A few things.
1. I updated the current queue to more accurately reflect when I can start on new arcs.
2. I am going to try running as much on weekdays as possible, so that I can let other DMs snag weekends.
I am still trying to get through my novel that I wanted to get done last year, before I was blindsided by other things. To this end, a lot of my events I am running are going to only be a few hours long and only a few a month.
Just wanted to give a heads up.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause others.
Best,
Arya

Hi everyone,
After a few conversations with players regarding plot commissions in Summer 2016, I figure I would give people an idea of where I am with plots based on a need-to-know basis. So the following will help people know where I am. A few things to keep in mind with this (tagged ''spoilers'' but please read if you are interested~!):
1. I often only keep 3-4 personal questlines in the queue so I can have time for other plots. Sometimes, I take on more though.
2. I am noting things I am working on actively.
3. Based on communication with those involved, these can change their place in the queue at any point, albeit always for the benefit of those still waiting.
None of this includes adhocs and/or something that only takes 1-2 events to complete. These are more long term plots that can take from 4-8 sessions for a conclusion (if not foreshadow connection into a bigger story).
A small favour I request for this round. Please mind what I will not take on doing, which will be the case for the following:
1. The scope and content is not within my ability to do justice narrating.
2. It falls in line with what my DM profile says I will not DM. Please click here for reference.
3. I find that another DM had already taken over this plot and I have not received permission to take off where they left.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Arya

Commission Storyline Queue
1. Investigating Ancient Ruins [40% complete].
2. Illuminati Confirmed [100% complete; award event impending, Edge].
3. A Folly Amongst Folly [40% complete].
4. Ancient Ties [50% complete].
5. [Not available]
* * * * * * * *
Archived/Postponed Queue
This will be a section filled infrequently, and are for archived storylines started and/or postponed for extenuating circumstances. I will talk with people before moving something here for personal storylines, barring in cases of major inactivity seen. If any of these are removed from this queue, it is either because the storyline is cancelled permanently or it is moved back in the active queue. I will not take requests to 'add' here on the grounds of a full active queue. This is only for storylines put on hold for indefinite period.
In the case a storyline is ready to be removed from this section, it will take priority before a commission.
1. Paths Within and Beyond Time - A Seer's Ascent [pre-production for TBD 2018; attn: daphne ]
2. When Things Are Left Unbroken [pre-production TBA 2018; attn: lakhena ].
3. Mercantile Family's Internal Issues [60% complete; attn: theshobit ].
Thank you all for being awesome!
Sincerely,
Arya
*This will not impact what I am running now. I will let the current queue run its course before switching to this 'flow.' I want to make sure we are able to handle quest requests that have been waiting a while and spread the love a little more.

Also: first come, first serve. Please do not take it personal if someone snags the spot first. <3

Yeah, sorry. 
I have been hit with a severe case of school-itus, so I haven't had time to even think about all that lately. Fortunately, break is around the corner, which means my brain will actually have some free space in it for a while, so I'll be able to let you know before it's all said and done!

Updated.
One slot is freed. Please PM me or direct me to which quest request you want me to look at doing. I have the right to decline the request for the following reasons.
1. The scope and content is not within my ability to do justice narrating.
2. It falls in line with what my DM profile says I will not DM. Please click here for reference.
3. I find that another DM had already taken over this plot and I have not received permission to take off where they left.
Thanks!

It will tell you if I am taking anymore ideas or not. I will keep you posted!

Taking End of Program exam from June 9th to 16th, from 8 AM the former to 8 AM the latter respectively. I will not be taking any projects or discussing anything beyond what I agreed to run already during this time. After June 11th, I will not be doing anything at all with my DMing until the 16th, when the EOP time ends. I would genuinely appreciate keeping all requests or discussions of plot-related things until after the 16th once that happens. My player side time will be sporadic and often sparse.
Thank you. <3

Posted an update, including a reminder and an amendment to the content I wish to avoid in a quest or playstyle while I DM. Please read here for the highlighted sections. Hopefully the highlighted sections will be taken more seriously in the future. ^.^
Otherwise, I am taking my break from DMing for the rest of this month. People will be getting their quest items from Question of Lineage, but beyond that, I would rather not discuss anymore plots until August. Enjoy time from other staff!

I meant I am taking a break from planned events. Things I decide to do on a whim (e.g., adhocs) without anyone requesting it or expecting it are fair game. <3

So after I squeeze in some event times (hopefully, moving not interfering) this month (October), I am going to take the month of November off except for one event, based on the one needing most attention. NaNoWriMo is going on this month and I am going to be trying to adjust to a new move, while hopefully being close to having my novel draft where I can turn it in with an agent (almost 40k words into it currently; goal to be 50k finished before NaNo). Rest assured, I will try to crank it up again in December. Though I know that will be a tricky month with everyone spending time with family, etc.
Just wanted to give a heads up.
