here is some Inspiration for this themed swap.
Feel free to add in inspirational pics to this thread as well.


Dates:
Sign ups: OPEN now till End APRIL
Partners assigned before or on: May 2nd
First check in: June2nd
Progress pictures required:July 2nd
Final check in: July 15th and then shipping.
Please remember to always check your organizer's feedback before joining a swap.
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 everyone loves receiving extras in there package. 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 " What Lives Under the Sea?", 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 ASAP.
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.
18. Please be willing to Post Internationally. It makes it alot easier to pair people by skill when everyone is willing to post anywhere.
If your not willing to post internationally which I understand, please don't be offended if your paired with someone not based entirely on skill.
19. Customs MUST be posted in a BOX. a well packed padded, bubble wrap, peanuts, foam something, but MUST be posted in a box. and must include a card or note from you to say who its from.


This is an Under the Sea 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.}:

Which generation(s) would you like to recieve?
Which generation(s) do you prefer to customize?
Is there any generation you do not want to recieve?
Is there anything you do not want on your custom?

Post by: jupiternwndrlnd on April 08, 2013, 08:08:56 PM
I would guess that the requirement of international shipping, and extras are part of the dip in interest....I know that's part of what would keep me from joining. But I love the under sea theme :D always such fun ponies!
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: Saja on April 08, 2013, 09:12:14 PM
I can change those parts, Its just harder to pair a skill based swap when people aren't willing to ship internationally. And the extras, there were a lot of people disappointed in the last swaps ive been in as there were no extras, And I thought it added a nice touch. Maybe ill remove those points then, and leave it optional again. And just hope people are willing to ship abroad, and send a little extra...
ok edited those bits, how's it sound now?

Post by: Englishgothgirl on April 09, 2013, 05:33:20 AM
I don't know about the extras, the halloween swap was the first swap I did and I did send some sweets etc. with my pony, but when I received mine they had sent me soooo many extras it was AMAZING ! !

....But then I felt bad for my swap partner that I hadn't sent enough

I think maybe there should be an upper limit of $xx so no one feels left out....
Don't get me wrong I loved what I received at Halloween but with buying the items and shipping them I couldn't afford to send out what they did, so felt bad for who received my parcel as I couldn't afford to send as much as others did

Maybe we should say minimum spend of $5 on extras and no more than $10 or something like that?
After all extras are nice but its all about the pony!
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: salemsparkler on April 09, 2013, 07:53:30 AM
cant wait for the sign-ups...

I always understood extras as extras - and it is lovely to receive some sweets with your custom and a card. I am not a real Sweet Tooth so I mean it - some sweets are lovely. It is always a bit sad, when you only receive a custom and thats it. So, a bar of chocolate should do for me then  ^.^ But yes, the main focus of the parcel is the Custom pony.

Post by: Unicorn_pops on April 09, 2013, 01:08:44 PM
I love sending and receiving extras. I think it adds to getting to know your partner and makes the swaps more fun. Yes it is about the custom but extras show you care to include "extra"...lol if that makes sense? I didn't re read once you edited the rules but I wanted to throw out their that shipping should be in a box. I received a custom and it was in a small bubble mailer with nothing else and a piece got broke, made me think my partner just didn't care.
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: Saja on April 09, 2013, 03:56:49 PM
Shipping MUST be in a box, I did add that, as I have also received broken customs, im with you on that one Unicorn pops, I felt the same, they didn't care. and for those new people that have never swapped before, its a MUST that they're posted well, all that work goes into them they need the best chance to get to there partner in one piece. So that rule is there. The extras says just that, there extras not required but it is nice. I myself cannot stop going overboard, but its so expensive to ship from Australia for just a pony, I feel better when I add extras as its like im getting my moneys worth in postage that's all. I never want my partner to feel bad, so that's something to think about also. So ill leave it as optional, And everyone can read what we have all written here anyhow now so hopefully everyone can add in alittle extra, candy or stickers, stickers don't weigh anything, so that's always a nice extra!
Thanks for all the input, Much appreciated!!

you guys are starting to make me feel bad. in custom swaps I usually only send a custom :/ from what I'm hearing, that isn't enough?

That's what I always send and generally speaking what I always receive (with the exception of the halloween swap, but I think that's just different because it's a holiday.) I don't know when it became expected that customs swaps should include extras. It never used to be the case.
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: Saja on April 09, 2013, 08:07:10 PM
Maybe its just the swaps we have been in, the Easter swap last year, we sent easter extras, and the candy swap we sent the persons fave candy. So its not expected, but I guess if you've been in swaps like those, Xmas ones, and Halloween an then do a non holiday swap you would still send extras as you have been in those that you've received extras in. If that makes sense.
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: kaoskat on April 10, 2013, 08:51:45 AM
I tend to send extras but that's just because it's fun for me and alot of times I'm somewhat familiar with the person I'm sending to and I like sending presents anyway. However, I'm perfectly thrilled if all I recieve is a custom in a custom swap. Extras are nice but they aren't expected. Extras are things not required of the swap. If they are required, they become part of the swap and cease to be extras.
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: salemsparkler on April 11, 2013, 12:31:33 AM
I usually send a little extra - like a little chocolate bar, some mini haribos or a handful of candy ;-) And a card, to let my partner know who made the custom...

I draw a lot anyway, so my favorite thing to do as an extra is send sketches/drawings with my custom :D
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: Unicorn_pops on April 11, 2013, 02:06:23 PM
I love personal items such as drawings and sketches!  I have them in a folder and when I finish putting my pony room together, I plan on hanging them up :)

I'm guilty of going overboard with extras.   :blush:  I never stopped to think it might make someone unhappy.  I am a bit of an over eager puppy and just really like making a big fuss over my partner.  Also, I'm a slow worker...so the longer it takes for me to finish a pony, the more extras I tend to find and bring home. Me, I am happy with getting just a custom or a little candy.  Having heard this, I'll stop.

This would so totally be might type of swap but as a newbie I don't qualify and won't for some time.   :cry:  Is this type of theme one that comes up often?
Title: Re: Gauging interest yet again, Under the sea swap!
Post by: Saja on April 12, 2013, 10:30:05 PM
Don't stop RedLynx! Im not going to. I feel the same, I cant help myself when I find something that just grabs my attention an screams buy me for my partner. I couldn't stop if I wanted too.
And Kaelynn no this swap hasn't been done for over a year I think. so depends what you call often!

I love sea turtles so much!  I can't believe I forgot to add them to my list! :yikes:

Funny thing is, when this swap was in its first interest-gauging stage, I filled out the form and saved it for when it was time to send it in.  But, I was away from that save when I wanted to sign up, so I filled it out again...  And now I'm wondering how the heck I could forget my favorite sea animal?... -_-

Title: Re: Under the sea swap! Partners sent, get working!
Post by: Englishgothgirl on May 03, 2013, 06:07:11 AM
Is anyone interested in a bait swap?

If your partner has requested a specific or couple of ponies for their swap, but you don't have one in your bait box.... maybe someone else in the swap is in the same boat?

Obviously DON'T POST ON THE THREAD WHAT YOU NEED ! ! as your partner might realise who you are..... but instead post what you have AVAILABLE to trade, and then anyone that needs that pony can message you??

and hopefully someone might post that they have available the bait you need!

I have available in BAIT condition a few Shy Pose Ponies and Unicorns as well as some Sea Pony Baits

If anyone needs those for their custom message me :)

Post by: salemsparkler on May 06, 2013, 04:59:35 AM
as my bait box is still somewhere on a removal box I have finally decided to bait one of my yesterday's boot sale finds so I can get started...

that should do ;-)

Dear partner: Would you like your pony to have gradient hair or not?


Answer my own, I'm fine with what you think works best
Title: Re: Under the sea swap! Partners sent, get working!

I love gradients but whatever suits my partner's plans will be fine :)

Sorry I havent been able to post anything I havent seen any of the questions its probably better to have someone message me to ask if my partner needs to know anything I am never online to keep up with this.. I have my bait but i had to replace my own pony to have one.. no big deal..  I am excited to get this project started

School's been crazy (again, SIGH, why did I decide to take spring classes again?) so I've only got my base sculpt done. My idea's definitely more sculpting-oriented though, so I'll be spending much more time on the sculpt than the paint :)
Title: Re: Under the sea swap! Partners sent, get working!
Post by: salemsparkler on May 17, 2013, 12:11:37 PM

Sculpting's probably about 35% done now! :) I went and ran out of the color clay I was using... so now I switched to a different color and she looks so frankenpony-esque :D (since I'll be painting her it doesn't matter, haha!)

Yup, I checked the status of my order when I got back yesterday and it looks like it's still stuck and waiting for my partner to contact the post office (they "need more information from the importer"). Saja, would you mind throwing a poke my partner's way and letting her know she needs to contact them? c:

Post by: Zaphy on August 21, 2013, 04:01:51 AM
Yeah, it's my box that's still in transit. It was returned to sender after I sent it the first time last month, and now it's being held up again. Seems like the shipping company is trying to charge Okami for duties and taxes (an absurd amount, too!) even though I prepaid them at my post office. I've been calling both places over and over again. The post office has been trying to contact the shipping company to get them to change the duties status of the package but I guess the shipping company hasn't been getting back to them? And each time I call the shipping company they just tell me to talk to my post office, it's REALLY frustrating!  :enraged: I've been calling in the mornings and both places promise they'll get back to me by the end of the day but they haven't been and it's just.. just... uuuuggggghhhhhhhh. I am never shipping through that post office or with that shipping company again! :yikes:

Okami and Saja are just both champs for putting up with this. Poor Saja, I know the last swap you hosted had one pony you were waiting on for a long time too! I just hope that the post office is finally able to get through to the shipping company. If they haven't by tomorrow I am going to write SUCH an angry review for them both!

Yes, when the package arrived at customs, they saw that their value was 50 USD (if the value of the package is more than 50 USD, GBP or any other currency, customs holds it) therefore applied 21% IVA and delivery costs, a total of € 45.20. Finally all settled but my package was kidnapped.

Oh how awful! Did you have to pay that to get your package?

Oh my, that's ridiculous! Im so glad we don't have to pay to get our parcels here in Australia like that.
Title: Re: Under the sea swap! FINISHED!!
Post by: Zaphy on August 26, 2013, 04:50:13 AM
Yeah, the post office I was using apparently is just really bad about checking a little box on the shipping slip that says that duties and taxes have already been paid. So when it got to Spain they thought someone still had to pay and Okami was the closest target. I contacted the post office and the post office contacted DHL though and got it all sorted out!

I still don't understand at all the total they tried to make you pay. If the value was declared as 50 USD a 21% tax is still only € 7.86. I tried to get DHL America to explain it to me over and over again, and they just kept saying "the VAT is always 21%", and then I would explain that they were trying to charge over 100%, and then they'd tell me that the VAT is always 21%, and it would go on like that.

Anyway. I'm glad things were finally sorted out :)
