Alternate Generation SwapHello, it's time for an Alternate Generation Swap! What does that mean? Well, you take a pony from an existing generation and recreate the design onto a different generation. For example: A G4 Fluttershy made into a G2 Fluttershy or a G1 Rosedust made into a G3 Rosedust. This is a swap intended for existing ponies so no original characters or ponysonas please.
This is made to be a pretty simple swap with just paint and rehairing. Of course there may be minor sculpting such as wings or unicorn horns and it could scale up from there depending on if your partner has a list full of merry go round ponies but for the most part it should remain fairly simple and therefor the timeframe reflects as much with the work time being under 9 weeks. In the swap form you will be able to specify what generations and ponies you'd prefer and other details.

Swap Rules01. You must have at least 5 Arena feedbacks. E-bay SELLER feedbacks are welcome for 2 of these. Meaning you can have 3 Arena feedback and use 2 SELLER feedbacks from eBay. No Buyer feedbacks from eBay are permitted.
02. All swappers must have made and posted customs within the last 6 months.
03. The shipping date will be July 1st.
04. The deadline for signups will be May 2nd or until we have 15 participants. There will be check in points along the way and you MUST check in. If I cannot get ahold of you for check-ins you will be omitted from the swap, will not receive a pony and appropriate feedback shall be left by me. If for some reason you will be out of town or unable to get to a computer to check in for these times, you must check in PRIOR to the check in date. With that you are expected to keep track of these dates. Although I will take the appropriate actions to get a hold of you for these dates, it's expected that you check in on time and communicate.
05. Partners will be chosen based on skill level. I will do the best that I can at matching by skill- my partner list will be sent to a mod, who can make any changes to partners they think needs to be made.
06. Sign ups start on April 25th and will go for either 1 week (May 2nd) or until we reach our maximum of 15 people.
07. Life happens to everyone. If, after you join, you find you are unable to complete your pony, for any reason, please PM me immediately! I would much rather know sooner than later so I can work on getting a replacement partner or make a replacement myself.
08. Partners are to remain a SECRET. That is the basis and suprise of a swap. Do not contact your partner to ask questions directly. Any questions you have you can either message me (Miserati) or ask a general question in our swap thread and hope your partner responds.
DEADLINES: Gauging Interest- after approval, sign-ups will begin April 25th and last til May 2nd or until we have reached 15 people.
Check in #1- May 31st
Check in #2- June 21st
Ship- July 1st. Finished ponies need to be approved before mailed!
If someone drops out last minute or went MIA for mailing- their partner WILL still receive something, even if I have to personally make them something myself.
Shipping:Customs must be well packed for shipping.
Do not use newspapers, paper towels or colored tissue paper in direct contact with the completed custom. (It can stick or cause discoloration.)
Do not ship customs that are sticky/tacky or not fully dry.
Do use some sort of padding like bubble wrap, white tissue paper, peanuts, etc.
*KEEP your receipt/tracking numbers when you mail your custom off, this may be the only proof you have in the event it is lost. This rarely happens, but it has happened.*
Other:
Please make sure the dates and rules are acceptable to you before you apply.
