About PoniesHow do you feel about getting ponies that aren't on your wishlist?I am fine with that. Though I would be thrilled if you have somepony from my list, any pony at all will set my heart a-flutter, especially knowing that you picked it out just for me.
What pony condition(s) are acceptable or unacceptable to you?My only firm no-no is mold. Mold is never OK. Other than that, any pony that looks good on the shelf is A-OK with me.
(You may notice that I'm much pickier about condition when I talk about it on my Want List. That's because I am quite picky about ponies that I buy. But a swap pony is a gift, and gifts are something special; they get a bit of a free pass.)
Who are your favorite ponies?My favorite G1 is probably Ember, though I like Seaflower and Baby Splash, too, and I really like the Colorswirl ponies. I also like the G3 art ponies and convention ponies. My favorite Gen is G4; I love them all! But especially
Tealove and Roseluck. (And, OK, Luna, Nightmare Moon, and Chrysalis, too. I like those blue/green/black/purple color palettes.)
Do you have a pony army?I don't (unless a minis army counts, lol!), but I wouldn't object if one began to form. I love me some Tealove and Roseluck!
What generations do you like? Are there any generations you would prefer not get? Most of my collection is G4 minifigs, but I do love G1, too, for sentimental reasons. I like G3, but not 3.5, and I don't really like G2 so much.
Do you collect BBE ponies?No.
Would you like to receive a custom pony or re-hair?I'd love that!
Do you like/want pony wear?No, I don't dress my ponies. Mine never had clothes when I was a kid, and it would feel odd to dress them now, lol!
Do you like/collect plushies, coloring books, stickers or other pony merch or pony-themed things?I like little things, like charms or keychains, notebooks, stickers, stuff like that. I don't collected plushies, though I love them, because I don't have the space.

About PackagingHow do you feel about decorating the outside of the box?If you want to, go for it!
Is it OK to take extras out of packets/packaging to make them fit better?Yes, that's fine.
Are you opposed to items not being wrapped up pretty?Nope, doesn't have to be pretty so long as the ponies are safe.
~~~
About ExtrasDo you customize ponies? If so, would you like customization supplies as part of your extras (like dolly hair for example)?I have yet to try my hand at customization, but it is on my to-do list! I plan to start by repainting minifigures, and maybe go on to sculpting. Supplies would make a great jumping-off point, or if you do customs, perhaps you'd like to share a list of tips and tricks?
Do you collect Equestria Girls dolls?I don't have any of these. Though they're cute, I'm not really a doll person.
Do you collect Monster High?Nope, not my thing.
Do you collect Littlest Pet Shop?I have a childhood collectiong of G1 LPS, and love anything related to that. Never got into the newer gens, though.
Do you like stickers?Yes, I love stickers!
Do you like funky socks?Oh, indeed! I love to wear bright, colorful socks under my work scrubs, as a subtle way of injecting a bit of fun into my work day. (I'm a size 9.)
Do you like to get nail polish?Sure, I like to paint my nails. (I don't get to do it very often, but like to paint them for outings and special occasions.) Any color, any style. Glitter is OK, too.
Do you like make-up? Any specific brands, products, or colors?I don't often wear make-up, partly because I'm not that great at putting it on. *hangs head* I do like eye shadows (especially in bright colors) and lip glosses.
Do you have pierced ears? If so, what sort of earrings do you wear? Are you allergic to any metals?Pierced ears, yes; allergies, no. I don't like dangly, big, or heavy earings, but otherwise I wear all sorts of colors and styles. I especially like things like tiny keys, locks, gears, and little shapes like star, moon, sun, heart, flower, animals, etc.
Do you wear jewelry? What kind do you like?I wear necklaces and bracelets, and the occasional pin or brooch so long as it's not too heavy. I like a bracelet to run about 7 inches, and a necklace to run about 16 (there's leeway on the necklace size, for both longer and shorter; I even like chokers). In terms of type/style, I especially like pieces that could be called "steampunk", "sylvan", "elfin", or "fantasy"; but I wear all sorts of styles. Feel free to get creative!
Do you like cell phone charms or covers?My phone doesn't have anywhere to hang a charm, but I have a habit of hanging cell phone charms from the my spiral-bound notebooks. I like phone covers (my phone is an iPhone 5), and like to have alternate covers to use when I'm not at work. (My phone wears a plain, but very sturdy, case at work so that I can carry it in my scrubs pocket.)
Would you be happy with finding random, fun, happy things in the box? Say I found something while waltzing through Walmart and just thought, "Hey, that would be cool to stick in, just for grins!" Would you be OK with that?Totally OK with that! Random is fun!
I make handmade gifts, would you like to receive one? (Knit/crochette, papercraft, sewing, soapmaking, rice painting, insert-handcraft-here.)Yes, I would enjoy that very much! I love handmade items and would love to see what you like to do with your medium of choice!
I'm an artist, would you like to receive a drawing/painting/collage/etc.?Yes! That would be great. If you wanted to do something with one of my favorite ponies (or ponies in general), or one of my interests or hobbies or fandoms, or even if you'd just like to share something random, I would love to see it!
Would you like a postcard or some small item pertaining to the area your box will come from?I would!

About Food/Candy/TreatsDo you have any food or fragrance alleriges?Nope, none!
What kind of candy or snacks to you like? Any dislikes?I like fruity and/or sour. Things like Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, Gushers, Nerds, anything at all in the fruity or sour category, doesn't matter if it's hard or soft. I also enjoy things like animals crackers, goldfish crackers, etc. Kids' snacks. But I'm also very open about treats, and love to try things! So I will enjoy anything you would like to share.
Would you like to get homemade treats?Yum! That would be fine. Nothing that can melt, though; it gets hot early in the year, here in the desert I call home!
Are you a coffee or tea drinker? What kind do you like?I'm a tea girl all the way! (Not that I don't drink coffee, 'cause I totally do, but mmmmmm, tea!) I like all sorts of tea. I'm always buying boxes of random tea to try. Floral, fruity, herb-y, black or green or white, bagged or loose, just anything, really.
I also like tea-making accessories, like tea balls or tea warmers or teabag rests, and of course, teacups.
Are you into cooking or baking? Would you like to receive recipes?I like to bake, but don't very often. Cooking, however, I do a lot of! I'm always open to trying new recipes and new types of food. The only thing I'm not into is super-spicy, such as when hot peppers or cilantro is involved.

About Favorite Things and Personal StuffFavorite color(s)?I love green, purple, and silver, but enjoy all colors and anything colorful in general.
Favorite animal(s)?My favorite animal is the fox, though I love all kinds of animals, especially wild animals and sealife.
Favorite mythical creature?Dragons! All sorts of dragons really; though I especially I like the visual aesthetic of Western dragons, with their four legs and leathery wings.
Favorite movies?Love Disney movies; my favorite classic Disney is the Lion King, more recent faves include Frozen and Brave. Also adore Hayao Miyazaki films, especially Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro, but really I've yet to see one of his that I didn't like. In the non-animated category, I like just about anything except horror. Action/adventure is always a hit, as are most things that fall under "fantasy" at either end of the spectrum from Big Fish (which is almost more "tall tale" than "fantasy") to LotR (epic, archetypical fantasy). Sci-fi, too, especially dystopians and future world stuff.
Favorite music?Erm, I'm not entirely sure. It changes? Lately I've been listening to a lot of Lindsey Sterling and Of Monsters and Men, and a bit of Imagine Dragons. I like tons of other stuff, too, though.
Got fandoms?MLP, of course! I love Friendship is Magic.
Also, I'm a big fan of the webcomic Girl Genius, by Phil and Kaja Foglio, (and like the steampunk/gaslamp fantasy aesthetic overall). If you aren't familiar with GG and would like a little taste, start here:
http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070523What are your hobbies?My main hobbies include writing, reading (especially fantasy and science fiction), needle felting (which involves stabbing wool into interesting shapes), and archery. Some of the other things I do, if less often: calligraphy (love quills and pots of ink, messy though they are), scrapbooking, photography, jewelry making (often involving gears and keys and tiny glass bottles), and messing about with clay (I can't call it sculpting as I'm just not that good at it, ha!). I like to go for walks, especially out in the desert (used to love walking in the woods but there aren't any woods around here), and I've recently been giving yoga a try and liking it.
Do you have any pets? Would you like to receive toys or treats for them as extras?I have doggies! Four little, bitty doggies: a miniature pinscher, a chihuahua, a toy poodle, and a yorkie. They like small, soft toys, but not bones or chewies.
Do you have a child, younger sibling, spouse, or roommate that may appreciate something extra in the box just for them?The only other person in the house with me is my mom. I suspect she will be baffled by the arrival of a box of pony surprise! She will probably lay claim to part of any treats or sweets that turn up.
