Hey everyone!

This is just a short post regarding graphic requests. The requests themselves are all right, people generally seem to be following the rules, and I haven't found anyone worthy of the blacklist yet, hence the reason I don't even have a page for it. However, I am concerned at some of the requests' themes. I get a lot of requests that ask for something like "sad but happy" or "funny but serious" and things along those lines. Please understand that a poster can only be either or, otherwise your designer will have trouble coming up with a poster to satisfy what you want.

Please be more definitive about your choice of theme/mood. I've let this slide for long enough but I'm beginning to get a little frustrated with it because, as much as we would like to give you the best quality graphic, we have trouble reaching that goal because we don't know what mood to go by.

Also, please remember to specify if you would like US to find pictures and for WHICH CHARACTER(S) you'd like us to find pictures of. We cannot help you if we don't have images. And I do hope that you, as the requester, will give us unedited images.

As of this moment, any request with a vague theme/mood will NOT be processed. This also goes for requests where there are no image specifications. The designers are fine with gathering images (unless otherwise stated) as long as you ask for it. Also, we will only accept HQ images with the exception of various MQ images, but it depends on the request.

I apologize if this sounds a little harsh, but we cannot bring you the best if you don't help us along the right track. Please keep this in mind when you do request, as we would really like to give you graphics that are made to the best of our abilities.

And lastly, the following people are on hiatus:
Su Ann (GD)
Cerebral (Reviewer)
squirtleturtle (GD)

Please bear this in mind as you request and request from only the active members.

This is all for now, I'm currently updating the status pages, so please do check them to see if your request as been processed. I may be opening up staff applications again soon, so please watch out for that!

Until next time!

Hello everybody!

And so we're back, Caramelesque is currently back from hiatus! I've just realized how much of a mess things have been, but there wasn't much I could do since school was literally eating me up inside. Two weeks of hell prior to my current exam time meant no sleep, lots of caffeine, and constantly on edge. I haven't been able to keep up with the activities from Caramelesque for which I apologize. I'm currently in the process of cleaning things up around here and hopefully things will be in full swing again in no time!

To all those who have requested and are still sticking around, thank you so much for being patient with us. Requests are open once again and those that are still on the status page, your requests will be complete in the next two weeks. The staff are all amazing, and they're stuck with an unfortunate webmiss such as myself. Ah well, the world still goes round. Sadly, this brings me to a very unfortunate event, in which our reviewer, perfection_means_nothing is resigning. Although it's been a short time, she's done so much for this site, and I'd like to thank her for sticking around and doing all those requests. If you had requested from her and it hasn't been completed, I have either emailed you or wrote on your AFF wall. Again, you will be missed bb! ): Here's a little something I whipped up really quickly for you:



That is all for now lovelies, please look out for a new and improved Caramelesque in the coming weeks!
