Custom Pony Plush Swap! - Signups OPEN

[Tilas]

Woo! I got approval so here we go!

CUSTOM PONY PLUSH SWAP!

Sign Ups: Now until December 12th, 2015
Partner assignments completed by: December 19th, 2015
Check In: February 1st, 2016
Shipping Date: March 1st, 2016

This gives just over 2 months to make your plush, so I hope that's lots of time! If for some reason you think you won't be able to finish, please let me know IMMEDIATELY so I can rearrange things. When I do checks ins I will be asking for photos of your progress. Don't need to be done, just an update is awesome.

When you are finished, please PM me pictures, and I will mark you finished and send you your partners address.
Please do not ship until I tell you do, so I can try to ensure no one bails at the last minute and no one gets skipped.

------------------------
Rules & Requirements:
1. Please be able to respond to PM's for checkups, and let me know if problems arise ASAP
2. No negative swap feedback
3. You are welcome to add extras/goodies, but they are NOT a requirement.
4. I reserve the right to turn anyone down who does not meet the requirements.
5. I still start checks as soon as I receive you're application, and will PM you if/when you are approved. Once sign ups close, I will get the assignments done, and as soon as I finish, the swap will start!


The Plushie:
1. This swap is for sewn pony plushies only, no crochet.
2. You can make it any generation you want, you can use any pattern you'd like, just as long as it's a pony of  some form. Please no pony balls/loaves or "non traditional" for this one. There's tons of patterns out there for super cheap and I will link to a few for purchase from artists below if you might happen to need one.
3. This swap is NOT paired by skill level. Please do not get upset if the plush you receive is not your standards of ULTIMATEQUALITY. I expect everyone to do their best, so please love what you make, and love what you receive!


Shipping:
1. Specify where you can ship so I can match accordingly!
2. Must package your plush in a box so it will arrive safely!
3. Tracking numbers are a must (EVEN FOR INTERNATIONAL), and you must PM me the tracking number when you ship.
4. You are responsible for your own countries import/custom/duty fees if they arise when receiving a plush.

I understand that these requirements may make shipping expensive, but this is to ensure ponies arrive quickly, safely, and in one piece. If you cannot afford to pay shipping/customs please do not sign up, or please say you will do your country only.
Sorry, but if you agree to international and you get somewhere that costs a small fortune to mail to, you're stuck with it (I'm from the Yukon, EVERYWHERE is expensive for me so I sincerely understand the suckage of shipping! LOL).

I've not made a G4 styled pony but I can follow and adjust patterns so I may try to do this one.

Added those who have submitted so far! I love Trello, it makes organizing something like this a cakewalk.

I've not made a G4 styled pony but I can follow and adjust patterns so I may try to do this one. 

You can do a plush of any generation shape, just as long as it's a pony type body (so, like, no making the pony a dragon LOL). Last time some people made amazing G1 style plushies! I just listed G4 patterns cause that's all I could find, if you know of others, please feel free to share.

aw....no "non traditional"? and no crochet?
I received an AMAZING crochet pony two swaps ago, and mine are definitely non traditional. (here's what they normally look like http://roogna.deviantart.com/gallery/44330148/Plush )
I did try a new pattern last year....would this work for this year's rules? if not I will have to skip this year

Your plush are awesome, but I was trying to make it so the swap is a little more equal across the board, to make it easier to partner people up so there's no one saying "I wish I received ___ style".  I linked to plenty of patterns you can buy, you could always try one of those, it's a great opportunity to try something new.
