To our readers:

Bill has been unfortunately distracted by work and thus has only been able to answer asks and place them in queue. Consequently, this has resulted in a backlog of over 200 asks, dating back to June. To help alleviate this backlog, we have closed the ask box for now, and we hope to reopen it when Bill has addressed enough asks to bring that number down to a more manageable amount.

Additionally, please note that if Bill doesn’t answer right away, it’s likely either because of a backlog or simply because of other duties. We apologize for not responding in a timely manner (as well as the inconvenience of closing the ask box for the moment), but we also ask that you do not send asks repeatedly.

Finally, while you’re waiting for the ask box to reopen, be sure to look through our tags. There may be a chance that your issue bears a lot of similarities to an issue another person has faced, so you may find other responses helpful to your situation.

Thank you for your patience, and apologies again for the inconvenience!
