Completely forgot I posted this, I have the memory of a rock. Glad to see more interest and have such awesome talent on board. I'm aiming to set this off early next year at this rate? Let's Make a Pony is almost done, but the round that requires the most attention is just around the corner. Plus, I really don't trust myself to stay on top of hosting two community projects at once.

Plenty of time to think about what pony you'd want to claim at least. 

Thank goodness.  I thought I missed it when I saw the link you posted.   Um...do we jut say here who we want?  I'm thinking G1 Fizzy ❤ or Pretty Pop.

Thank you!
For as long as I have supplies to package them,  which should be a while! I'd say at least for a few months. 

Ok, great.  I'd like to get a couple but it won't happen till later this winter.  Thanks

I forgot to message you about the 2nd drawing gothicsugar. Is it too late?

Thank you everyone.  I'm happy to announce that the preorders are now open.

bump for updates

After reading everything, it really looks like Tak was eager to send someone a surprise but didn't wait to hear back.  It also looks like Pierlala may have felt pressured to hurry and buy when she wasn't sure.  However when in doubt, wait.  This goes for both the gifter and receiver.

And considering that all sides had yet to be heard, I don't know if she'd (Pierlala) have felt as though anyone would have believed what she had to say with some of the comments I've read tonight.  I don't know any of these ladies, but I think that things could have been handled better.

Tak, though you said you won't worry about it anymore and were in your heart doing a good thing; if someone tells you they can't pay yet and it's a large sum of money like that (still don't get how some of these ponies are so expensive) then wait.  It would have also been a good idea to be forthright about the pony being a "gift" for the seller's sake so that she could make arrangements.  A chargeback is not the same as a paypal dispute which can affect the status of a paypal account. I mean in terms of monetary holds which can last for at least two months. 

Pierlala, your wants may have been a bit bigger than your wallet at the time.  You knew you wanted this pony and that it was expensive.  It would make more sense to be saving bit by bit to just buy it outright than to wait on the money and have someone buy for you.  I say this not to judge, but as someone with limited funds herself who has learned to make do or do without.  I also have asked someone to buy something for me as part of larger trade which thankfully worked out for both of us, but I worried that I might have been taking advantage.
It also would have made sense for you to either insist on speaking with the seller directly or waiting for another Rapunzel.  Like everyone has said, you styled her, so she was yours.  It didn't matter if someone else swayed your opinion on her appearance because you practically said she was yours for keeps when you did that.  It's the reason why hair is also described in sales posts; so that buyers can know what condition a pony's hair is in and gauge what has been done to it.  So the fact that you found a "better one" has nothing to do with the seller.
 
DrEsmeRose, you're clearly in the right in the situation and I'm glad its been worked out for you or in the process of it anyway.

Hmm. Just ponies would be kind of hard, because I'd be tempted to keep it because I've done the buy a ton realize I got carried away and sell them off thing a few times.  So I'd try to keep things more manageable with a very, very small collection.  So even though there are a lot I'd probably like to have, I'll try to make a short list in order of want.
