First, I want to say that commissions are open.

You can get details here:
Commission Info

And the Living Commissions List is here:
The List

I call it "living" because the document is periodically updated with small bits of news and allows people to see how many slots available for different kinds of commissions. As well as letting people know when their pending or where they are in the process.

On another note, I want to try and post here more often. So hopefully I can make that happen and just...post and comment more.
