I know it's kind of early yet, but how is everything going? :)

Also, do you guys want me to move the first check-in date from Nov. 7 to a few days later?  It feels like maybe I didn't give you all enough time in between, since I didn't give out partners until Oct. 20.  It's your call though; just depends on if you're happy with the progress made in that short time.

:newpony: Hooray!! Got my pony and I Love her! Her hair is such beautiful colors. I love a white pony with a simple design. And fashion size!!! I feel really spoiled. And so many other goodies: truffles and lollipops and I'm eating the popcorn ball right now! I adore the Nightmare Before Christmas notebook and the cute little Halloween pen and pencils. Can't wait to use them.

Only one thing partner, no arena name! I don't know who you are yet. :( I have a guess, but tell me so I can thank you properly!

*happy dance*

Ah ha, I thought I forgot something. :blush:  I'm really glad you like her; I was so afraid that she would be underwhelming.

Partners have been sent!

And let me know if there's something majorly conflicting between you and your partner's specifications.  My heart was beating like mad because I was so afraid of screwing up and making this hard for everyone, so please, if there are any issues at all, let me know.
And that goes for any point in this swap, even post.  I'm not going to be participating because, with this being my first time hosting, I want to be fully focused on making this all work out. :)

Woot! The hardest part is this last little bit of waiting :lol:

The good news is that I'm almost done!  You guys made it so easy on me, and for that, I thank you all!  I just hope you all are okay with the partners I've chosen...

There are still a few more small things that I need to clarify, but it shouldn't take too long to get that info. :)

Mine got out a teeny bit late, but I got a slightly faster shipping option, so it should be there soon.  I really hope everything gets there okay.

*sigh* I feel like the one I made for my partner was a bit underwhelming.  I hope she likes it...

Oh, and I got mine on Thursday!  Thank you, Lupachiotta!  They're so cute!  And I love the candy too! :dribble:

Signups are now closed!  I'll be working on partner match-ups for a good portion of the day.  Get hype!

Also, there's been a bit of concern over the way a custom is put back together and shipped.  This is understandable, because if done improperly, a custom could arrive in pieces...  The main areas of concern are the type of glue used and the padding used in shipping.

I can't really offer too much in advice, but to tell of my experiences: 
As far as glue goes, I use Fabri-Tac almost exclusively.  It's never caused any problems as far as I know.  However, it dries super fast, so one has to work super fast...  I don't know much about other glues except for what little I've read; stuff like Krazy glue isn't good for gluing hair because it seeps through the holes and stuff like that. 

And for shipping, bubble wrap!  Plain, clear bubble wrap!  Colored stuff (again, from what I've read) is risky and might bleed, and newspaper is out of the question!  The ink from newspaper bleeds without fail!

I really don't have much else, and this may not even be helpful to anyone, but I did my best.  Just please glue smart and ship smart!

Now then, you may all continue your conversation. :)

To the match-up list!  Awaaaaayyyy!

Sorry I've been hard to reach, everyone!  I was away from a decent computer this past weekend.  I've caught up on checking applications but haven't done much in the way of sorting or anything else yet.

Anyway, thanks to all who apply!  I hope you all have fun in this swap, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions!

PS:  I forgot to post criteria for newbies who wish to join.  I've updated the rules; will someone tell me if what I added is okay, please?

Sent follow-up check-in message containing the photo.  I'm not dead. :P

So yeah, hit a snag with the first one and had to start over; decided to use a base that was more comfortable anyway.  Paint is done, just waiting on the hair to arrive now.  I might look into doing a second, smaller one if I can find the time between school and work. @_@

At the moment, water.  I think when school starts up again, though, I'll be hitting the fruit juices and soda a bit harder.  Luckily, almost no one around here sells my favorite soda (root beer), so I won't be going too crazy...

Scents are nice, sure. :)

Ugh, I'm at a total loss for what to do at the moment...  If I had an airbrush, there wouldn't be a problem, but I can't do gradients without one worth a crap. *sigh* Guess I'll just have to try something different.

Hmm...  Gilda could be done up like a Gryffindor mascot, or maybe a downgraded version of Buckbeak the Hippogriff (then again, with a little sculpting, a downgrade wouldn't be necessary). :P
