Okay, after a lot of thinking, I came up with a way to balance out requests with my own ideas.

Here's the order:

My own ideas

Janitor requests

Saucepan requests

The way requests will work is basically this: After I'm done with my own 4 bots, I will make a request post so you guys can leave your ideas in the comments. I will always release it on a Monday, and you guys will have until Friday to write your requests. After that, I will pick 4 of them to start working on and delete the post. I'll do the same for Saucepan, and then the order resets.

There's no exact date or anything for when the bots will be released. I think I will try to release them whenever they're ready and then wait for the right day to make an announcement post.

About events: Well, I tried the fandom thing, but that was a bit of a fiasco, so for now I will just stick with requests and figure out something fun along the way for a bit of variety and interaction with you guys.

Yeah, I honestly think this is a good plan, even if it slows down bot production a bit. It's for the best and will help me rest, since the original request post kind of fucked me over with burnout and left me feeling overwhelmed whenever I remembered there were a bunch of requests just sitting there waiting while I wanted to work on my own ideas.
