Ice Cream Swap - Shipping Deadline October 13th!

Ice Cream, Ice Cream! Swap

It's summer. It's hot, it's miserable, what better pick-me-up than ICE CREAM??

This swap will have two categories: "Regular" will be making an adult pony based on your partner's generational and ice cream related preferences. "McD" will be making a G3 McDonald's pony based on your partner's ice cream related preferences.

"Ice cream related preferences"???

That's just a fancy way of saying, what do you like about ice cream? Is there a certain flavor you like? Are you all about milkshakes? Sundaes? Drumsticks? Or is it the rainbow colored sprinkles that have you jumping for joy?

**Note** Because this swap will be running at the same time as the Halloween swap I will be limiting sign ups to two categories across both swaps.
Examples:
= If you sign up for both categories for the Ice Cream swap, you can NOT sign up for any category of the Halloween swap.
= You may sign up for one category in each swap. (Any combination ok- 2 regulars, 1 regular & 1 McD, or 2 McD)
= You can just sign up for one category in one swap so you don't over extend yourself.

Requirements to Participate

Minimum three months of active membership.
Minimum post count of 50.
Minimum of 5 positive feedbacks on either of the community sites (MLPTP or Arena).
Clear, detailed pictures of your 3 most recent customs will need to be sent in with your application.
You cannot be involved in more than 2 other swaps at the same time.
You must be over the age of 16.

If you do not have enough feedback to meet these requirements
I may open a "newbie" subcategory IF 1) you meet the minimums for membership time and post count and 2) can provide pictures of your past customs.
There must be at least 2 people interested for a newbie subcategory to be viable. If that 2 person limit is not met you will not be able to join.

General Swap Requirements and Reminders

.: There won't be any "official" skill level brackets, but I will do my best to pair people according to their abilities.
.: Partners will be a secret (meaning the person you're creating for may not necessarily be the person creating for you) so try not to spoil the surprise!
.: You will have 8 to 9 weeks to complete your custom.
.: Baits must be genuine Hasbro ponies. No fakies!
(If you're not sure whether or not you should bait a particular pony please ask about it here or in the customs forum. Better safe than sorry!)
.: Make sure you check in and meet all deadlines.
.: I understand real life happens- PLEASE PM me as soon as you encounter a problem so that I am aware of your situation and so other arrangements can be made (if necessary).
.: This is a CUSTOM swap. Extras are not required nor expected (and they certainly don't make up for late shipping!)
.: All packages must have tracking and you will need to PM me the code when you ship.
.: Remember to leave feedback for your partner after you receive your custom.

Overall Swap Feedback will be left by me at the end of the swap, once everyone has sent, received, and left feedback for their own partners.
Dropping out of the swap after the photo check in date, shipping excessively late, or not shipping at all will result in a negative feedback.
Dropping out after partners are assigned but before the photo check in date or shipping a couple days late will result in a neutral feedback.
Meeting all check in and shipping deadlines and making a custom you would love to receive will earn you a positive feedback!

Dates to Remember

August 4 - August 11: Swap Sign-ups. Feedback will be checked as applications are received.
August 12: Partners sent. Start working!
September 16: Photo update/progress check-in. You will receive your partner's address (and will be free to ship) at this time.
October 6: International shipping deadline.
October 13: US shipping deadline.

If you will be able to meet all criteria, send over an application!

(By sending in your application you are showing that you have read this ENTIRE post and are committed to meeting all deadlines)
Please send a separate PM for each category you're entering even if they're part of the same swap. That way it will be easier for me to file away your application into the proper swap folder in my inbox <3

And for anyone wondering where they can quickly find McD baits... I think I can help with that.

I think I'm going to leave the McD category as G3 only.
