2. You must have been an Arena member for at least 6 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 we need to know where to put you.
4. Ship on time! We realize real life issues come up sometimes. If this happens, We want to know about it as soon as you realize you will be late.
5. No shipping early! We 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. We don't want anyone disappointed in this swap, so it's best for everyone to hold off until we are sure their partners haven't disappeared.
6. Be prepared with progress pics during progress dates. If you are without letting us know beforehand, you WILL be pulled.
7. Send us pictures of your completed custom before you ship. We want to know your custom is complete before it goes out.
8. Let us 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 required. Around $5 of holiday gifts/treats should be included.
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 custom swaps (total of 3).
13. The title of your PM should be Minty, so we 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 us (
CustomSwap) by the sign up deadline. We will do our very best to get partners out on or before the October 22.
15. You must check in with pictures for the final check in 1 week before shipping. 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. We 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.
Swap categories to choose from:
Classic Pony Swap - This category is for customizers who appreciate the traditional custom pony. Most customs in this grouping will be kept fairly simple with a few minor embellishments such as jewels, small accessories and simple wings. The end result is up to you.
Ponies Plus Swap - Get creative, this category is where you can get a little crazy. Be prepared for sculpting, sewing or intricate paintwork.
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.}:
