**From 2017 to 2019ish there was extremely slow/no movement due to the extreme situations that Gaia was facing after change of management and a large staff change.** The most changes have occurred in 2021, but there is considerable backlog.
Project Custom Email = PCE
First PCE Response: 3/18/2019
Clarification of Rules and Design needs to be changed. (okay, fair!)
My response 3/22/2019 to offer alternative design. Then six months go by...
9/8/2019 responded to chain to clarify if design is approvable.
Second PCE Response: 11/5/2019
Design looks fine...
During this time the thread for the Queue dates goes up, and the Mystery Mood acceptance date is slightly in front of mine. Probably likely that they took the next person in line after telling me my design wasn't usable. Not a big deal since the date was still fairly close to mine.
Third PCE Response: 4/2/2021
Apology, apparently my email got sorted into a folder/email changes. Offered suggestions. (Sadly I'm just not a fan of these offered suggestions, but I understand between the concerns and the new copyright adjustments one and two, that they had to retract my semi-acceptance state).
My response 1: 4/5/2021 -- Questions about suggestions. No auto response.
My response 2: 4/26/2021 -- After no response and really thinking it over, I responded again with some very different ideas, more generic and using existing item examples from an artist currently employed Gaia. (So that artist can potentially yay/nay). No auto response.
My response 3: After seeing the 9/15 update of the Project Custom Queue thread, another Mystery Mood was accepted! Now the queue is even further ahead from mine! 2/2018 now. No auto response.
Status: Still NOT accepted. I don't even get AUTO responses anymore.
I'm trying to be understanding here, but I'm not even sure I am getting through to their emails. I tried in ATS.
P.S. The ticket was a gift from a friend, so I don't want to pull out from the queue.
For reference, Mystery Mood rules when submitted: https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/project-custom/project-custom-ticket-rules-faq-order-forms/t.102559179_28/#28
My Companions were granted 9/24/2021!! Life is weird, and so is Gaia.
