i will be closing the shop for orders at around the 24 hr mark (so around 15:00-15:30 server time)! i think a good way to keep doing this for now will be to have an opening window for accepting orders, then close while i work on them. i've never really run a longterm shop before and i don't like slot systems, so please bear with me while i figure things out
eta: also, if anyone wants to be removed from the pinglist due to this please let me know! for now, i'll be pinging with each re-opening.
also as a general notice, i am considering a price change upon the next re-opening, and i would like to get some feedback if people are so inclined! i would really love to be able to justify spending more time on each lil guy, but i would need to raise prices to both make that time spent worthwhile, and also maybe stem the flow of orders so that the shop isn't quite so busy and i have more time to work on lil guys! the proposed price increase would be to
150kt/150g, which i still feel is reasonable, but i would love to hear any thoughts on that! i am also considering maybe adding a lower cost option alongside this, like 50kt/50g for premade smaller guys that could be more quickly made in between the custom ones, but i'm not sure yet.
as a final note, i'm going to be changing the way i work on orders to try and prevent burnout/flare ups. while working through the backlog, i did as many as possible each night, but the new way i handle orders will be to just do as much as i can each day, so if your order is accepted one evening but no lil guys are posted, it's probably just not finished yet! i still won't accept crs until i start on your order.
thanks again for all the interest in this shop, it's been a lot of fun!
editing in because i forgot to respond to the posts that Actually need addressing! if it's not clear by this point, i have ADHD : )

Cannot hello, this is just to let you know that your order must be pared down to two prompts due to the new limit on lil guys per order. sorry for any inconvenience! i'm going to cancel your crs, please send new ones with payment for your new amount of lil guys

Slurpuff i'm glad you like them!! i'm not sure how you're interpreting the science lil guy but now i'm Intensely curious, because i can only perceive him as looking backwards. his head is supposed to kind of look like a beaker (his stripes are irregular lengths to mimic the measurements on the side) and a triceratops, but lil guys are always up to interpretation. and yeah, you nailed the meme reference
