Sajas Feedback http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php?action=trader&id=13012

Rules:
1. You must have atleast 3 positive Arena feedback and no negative Arena feedback.
2. You must have been an Arena member for at least 3 months before sign ups are over.
3. You must have pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs to show the quality of your work. This is a skill based swap and I need to know where to put you.
4. Ship on time! I realize real life issues come up sometimes. If this happens, I want to know about it as soon as you realize you will be late.
5. No shipping early! I will be withholding addresses until shipping time to prevent this. The exception will be after final check in and your partner is ready to ship as well. I don't want anyone disappointed in this swap and with so many people going MIA lately, it's best for everyone to hold off until we are sure their partners haven't disappeared.
6. Be prepared with progress pics at progress date.
7. Send me pictures of your completed custom before you ship. I want to know your custom is complete before it goes out.
8. Let me know right away when you ship your pony and when you receive one.
9. Do not let anyone know who your partner is. It is secret.
10. Extras are not required, but are welcome. However, do not go overboard with these. This is about the customs. A small treat/gift or 2 is fine and good but not too much. After all, you worked hard on the custom, it should be the most exciting part!
11. This swap includes all generations of ponies (G1, G2, G3, G3.5, and G4), if there are any of these you do not like, include that in your form. Do not use any fakies unless your partner requests it.
12. You must be in no more than 2 other swaps (total of 3).
13. The title of your PM should be " going to the Masquerade ball", so I know you read the rules. If the title of your pm is not right, you will not be added to the sign up list.
14. PM the sign up form to me Saja by the sign up deadline. I will do my very best to get partners out on or before June the 9th.
15. You must check in with pictures for the final check in. If you do not check in, you will not be receiving a Pony.
16. KEEP YOUR SHIPPING RECEIPTS! You need to be able to produce proof of shipping when asked. You need to hold onto your receipt until your partner confirms that they have received their pony. I also highly recommend delivery confirmation for those not shipping internationally.
17. IF AT ANYTIME YOU DO NOT ABIDE BY ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE PULLED FROM THE SWAP. This includes, but is not limited to, missing check ins and sharing partners. Make sure you are familiar with the rules before you sign up. You are expected to follow them.


This is a Masquerade pony swap, please use your partners choices as your guide and let your imagination run wild!





Form:
Arena Name:
Real name and shipping address:
Email address (for contacting you off forum if we need to):
Link to feedback:
Links to pictures of at least 3 of your most recent customs (more than one image if each is welcome) {Please send pictures that show off the qualities you intend to possibly use on your custom. Sending me a bunch of ponies that are heavily sculpted but don't show off your painting skills when you only plan to paint or showing off ponies with no sculpting when you plan to sculpt is not very useful for pairing you up. Please choose what you feel are the best of your recent ponies displaying the qualities that would be useful for this swap.}:

[Salli]

I will sign up for this tomorrow. I need to think about what colors I like... lol.

[Maniah]

Currently checking in from my vacation on my iPhone and have a question. Is this skill based in any way?

[simplysteffie]

Maniah asked a good question- specially if people are going to do sculpting/sewing and such.

[lilacamy931]

I am really interested in this...need to consider if up to trying masquerade

[assassin_kitty]

I third the is it skill based question!

[TexasGal]

*stalks*

[StrawberryMeadow]

*points to rule 3*


 


But yeah, I love this idea. Did anyone put feelers out for it or was it just a spur-of-the-moment thing?


I just want like, a million Masquerades (G1 TE Masquerade....) 

[WeepingPiano]

Ooh! I hope I don't forget to sign up for this one

[Salli]

oops, I forgot to look at the sign-up date, lol. I can re-sign up then if you want me to. Sorry Saja! I guess I am just so excited for this one!

Yes, she sent out a poll for which swap she was going to do. I think I voted for masquerade even

[granate]

sound good!!

[Kalavista]

I can't wait to see all the gorgeous masquerade ponies!

[Saja]

Thanks Strawberrymeadow! Yes Rule 3, Its a skill based swap! No probs about sending forms in early, no need to re send when the sign ups open, unless your choices change?? I cant wait to get this started either!!

[TexasGal]

Well, I know of only one for sure that will be going on, and possibly one more swap, so I think I will go ahead and sign up for this.  couldn't hurt, right?  =] 


Shall we post them here, or do we need to PM you?  And I'm going to wait til Salli gets the box I am sending her for our private swap, since i can't show pics yet of the custom I did for her.  xD

[Unicorn_pops]

I would love to but I need to find out if the Children's Day Swap counts as a three swap rule. Does anyone know?
