Twisted Fairy Tale Swap - All Done! (til next time!)

[Roogna]

Everyone has done a super amazing job this swap! All shipped and received except for one (that had permission), and that one should be marked as done very soooooon!
Thanks everyone for participating. I look forward to hosting this again next year!


Thanks to all those that provided feedback on Saja's post regarding this swap. I will be your host for the Twisted Fairy Tale Swap.
(Warning: There may be a some level of disturbing-ness!)

I am limiting this swap to 20 people.

Here are some suggestions of Fairy Tales.:

Alice in Wonderland
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Rapunzel
The Swan Princess
Beauty and the Beast
Little Red Riding Hood
Cinderella
The Little Mermaid
Goldilocks & the 3 Bears
Hansel & Gretel
Wizard of Oz

You are free to use other Fairy Tales; please include it in your application if you would like one from your partner that's not on the list.

This isn't meant to be a simple paint job. You have plenty of time to work on your ponies, so take your time and think outside the box. Research your partner and the character you're going to make, and don't feel limited by Disney interpretations of these characters. Try your hand at things you may not do- sculpting, sewing, etc. Be brave and have FUN with it.

Some ponies in this swap will also include gore and bloodiness, but it's not required. Please be sure to include in your form if you only want a gothic / "monster high" type or zombie / gore or something totally bizarre!

A few customs from past years Twisted Fairytale swap.

Swap Rules

1. You must have at least 3 positive Arena feedbacks, and no negative feedback, and have been an arena member for at least 3 months.
2. All swappers must have made and posted customs within the last 3 months.
3. 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.
4. Partners will be chosen based on skill level. I will do the best that I can at matching by skill.
5. Include the word "twisted" after your arena name in the sign up form to let me know you've read the rules.
6. 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.
7. Follow the Shipping Guidelines below.

DEADLINES:
Sign ups: Now through May 23 (or until there are 20 participants)*
Partners June 1st (possibly earlier if this fills up fast)
1st check in July 1st
Photo check in August 1st
Final check in by Aug 16th
Ship by Aug 23th - Finished ponies need to be approved before mailed! So you won't get the full address for your partner until the final check in.

*If you are still waiting to be cleared from Things with Wings, go ahead and send me your form to save you spot as you should be cleared by the time this starts.

Shipping:
Customs must be well packed for shipping.
They MUST be shipped in a box!!
Do not use newspapers, paper towels or colored tissue paper in direct contact with the completed custom.
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.*

Sign up form !
PLEASE GIVE DETAILED RESPONSES! DO NOT BE VAGUE! Vague applications will be asked to refill out their application with better responses. Nobody wants to sit around guessing what their partner likes or wants. Any questions you have for your partner can be asked in the Forum or through me. Secrets are best kept this way!

Please PM this form to me, with the subject line "Twisted"


Arena Name:

Real Name and Mailing Address:

E-mail:

Choose 3-5 of the Fairy Tales listed that you would be interested in; in order of preference. (Have a suggestion not listed? Add it here):

Which characters and/or aspects from these Fairy Tales would you be most interested in receiving?:

Preference level of disturbing/some gore:

Things you like on customs? (Please be descriptive): (IE fav colors, fav poses, hair preferences, etc. If you have no preferences you can leave this spot empty.)

Is there anything your dislike on customs? (Again, be descriptive.): (IE sculpted hair, clothes, glitter, a particular color, etc)

Generation/s you WANT to receive: (G1, G2, G3, G3.5, G4)

Generation/s you would NOT like to receive?: (G1, G2, G3, G3.5, G4)

For me to help assign partners:

Are there any generations you do NOT like to customize?

Will you ship internationally? (Don't feel bad if you say no, but be aware its a skill based swap if there is no one in your area that's matched in skill, you will either have to ship internationally or be swapped with a different skill level.):

Other swaps you are currently in :

Link to Arena feedback:

Will you be sewing / heavy sculpting /  light sculpting / other?: (Please don't just answer this with "Yes." I want to make sure if you're doing heavy amounts of sculpting you're matched up with someone who will be spending an equal amount of time on theirs. If you're not sure but you think you might do something, answer anyway. )

Links/Pictures to/of 3 customs you've made recently or pertain to the swap: (If you plan on sculpting and send me images of just painted or sewn customs it will be harder to match you.)

ohhh noo! I have one swap im in the middle of, one swap we're finishing (the wings and things swap, my partner got their pony, I'm just waiting to get mine), and I just signed up for the little army swap. I am hoping I can get cleared from the wings and things swap before this fills up. *bites nails*

I filled out my form for this a while back and have had it saved on my desktop for a bit now. *paces* Guess its up to the pony gods!

[Roogna]

yup - we're waiting on mod approval and for the mod's to officially clear me from TwW for sign ups to open. I'm confidant TwW will be cleared for all who want to participate before sign ups end
