Poor old D&D DM in need of one or more coDMs (co-GM request)

During the last two years or so I've begun a number of games with various degrees of success. My D&D 3.5 games have been consistently popular. As my RL schedule becomes more burdensome and requires more and more adulting I've had less time to dedicate to updating my games, although I check in consistently. My games have begun to slow down due in large part to my own inactivity. I need a coDM, a Goose to my Maverick, someone who can help me keep the games current and rolling.

I'm advertising for co-DMs for four (4) D&D 3.5 Games. For organizational and coordination purposes it would be useful to have the same coDM in more than one of the games, but I know what a tall order that is, so if even one of the games is interesting enough to apply for coDM please do so, I won't turn anyone away because they can only take on one coDm position.

As for my own DM style I tend be fairly loose about rolling, applying the rule of fudge when a situation warrants it. But I use WotC sources only, mostly for consistency. I do not always have a concrete plan for the games. As they say, no strategy survives the battlefield. I do have long term plans, and I have a sort of trajectory I like to take things in, but in the meantime I tend to allow players a lot of freedom to one thing or another as long as they keep moving in the general direction I intend for them. I freely admit when I am not familiar with certain rules and give my players say in adopting certain rulings. (I favor more compelling arguments over the most popular.) But I still hold that DM rulings are final.

The four games are as follows:

Dungeons and Dragons: Almengard This game is rated Adult
A medium sized group of high powered characters. Refugees attempting to find shelter against the coming apocolypic ice age have come to Almengard. The setting is loosely based on the setting of "Nights of Villjamur" a novel by Mark Charan Newton. Game's story focuses on a personal narrative of characters surviving a dying world. (Rather than say, trying to save the world.) The game will focus on combat, exploration and politics. The game mixes open world sandbox threads for the world hub and "dungeon threads" for the story progression.

Dungeons and Dragons: Judgement Day
This game is rated Mature
Huge group of High Powered character starting level either 13 or 18 (currently 15 and 19), in a classic fantasy setting of my own creation. The story focuses on a two bands of heroes trying to save the world from forces who would tear it apart, both from the outside and from within. The game will focus on combat, with light politics, while the players will delve deep into the history of the world in order to save its future. Players will play as either Veterans of the last War, or as younger heroes coming into their own during this new conflict. They must try to stop the conflicts which threatens to engulf the multiverse or face the ultimate day of reckoning.

Dungeons and Dragons: Mysteries of the Mist This game is rated Mature
Small group of low powered characters, starting level 1, in a Historical Fantasy England setting, timed only a few decades after the death of King Arthur. The setting is based heavily on the world created in "The Buried Giant" and novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, but with a new story, which borrows and usurps traditional fairy tale tropes. The story focuses on a group of travelers who try to discover their missing memories and learn what has happened to the memories of their world. The game will focus on personal development, exploration and occasional deadly combat. Players will play as travelers, who due to their loss of memories cannot remember where they come from, who they are, but instead focus only the present. Memories will come back during exploration, and they will be forced to reconcile who they were with who they think they are now.
The game has sputtered a few times and with this one I need help getting off of the ground.

Dungeons and Dragons: Lost Books of The Odyssey This game is Rated Adult
A game based on the Odyssey, with bronze age technology house rules. Currently the game isn't finished yet and I haven't started looking for players. I know there's something great here, I feel I just need someone to help me actualize it. However, given that this game isn't even finished I certainly understand if the idea of a game from scratch doesn't appeal to some coDMs. However I'm optimistic that there are people who will get excited about all of these games.

I'm bumping this once more because I could really use the help.
