Please post in the OPTIONS thread by August 1, 2012.
Herald
This was a very difficult decision, but I have discussed it with past owners as well. For many, it is probably not that surprising - and I do hope no one feels blind-sided by this announcement.
After many happy and exciting years, Heralds will be closing.
We discussed the option of finding a new owner, redoing the whole shop and such, but feel that this is the really only option left. We have tried many things to stay afloat - new owners, artists, bringing in new blood, etc - but things came up and the shop fell to the side. The B/C environment that the shop was based on in its creation is completely different and as other shops declined - Heralds did too.
We are not just leaving everything as-is. You have three options.
1) Leave everything as-is.
2) Refund: this would be based upon how much you paid and the ratio remaining on any unfinished art.
3) Custom-Semi-custom (depending on what type of Herald you have) ADULT (or teen if that is all you want) art.
The plan is to get what people want and get them done asap. Refunds I can get to fairly quickly (once I do the math). Art will take longer - and if your artist no longer works here, I will do everything in my power to find another artist or even commission if able.
August 1, 2012 - deadline for getting things resolved as timely as possible.
August 1-15, 2012 - I will send out a PM and this is the resolute "timely" response. After that it may take a little while (art).
December 31, 2012 - SOLID DEADLINE. I may or may not ever get to it again. That is over 7 months away.
*Note - those Heralds that were on the "adult-grow" list and don't have art finished can take one of these options. Adult Heralds' art is complete and there are no other options there.
I will miss this shop dearly, and it will always have tender memories in my heart.
Thank you for your time,

A broken heart receives red roses, no name attached. You will love again, hope whispers through the fragrant room.
A soul on the brink of the abyss is pulled from the edge by a face he does not know. Live for another day, the stranger's eyes scream into the dark.
A degenerate sweats in fear and doubt. Your time is at hand, the seconds swiftly tick, in tune with the click of the hammer being cocked.
Many messages, many forms, most unrecognized for what they are, the presence of a Herald, a divine messenger delivering words to the mortals below.
