:unicorn:ABOUT A PONY:unicorn:


How does it work? Everyone will send/get *one* pony from their wishlist, and the swap package extras/contents will revolve around a pony. Example: If you get someone Posey, you will get wrapping paper with flowers or in Posey's colors, a card with the theme, and maybe some flowers or candy or something reminiscing of Posey. The goal is to make the whole package about the pony. This will also address fears of other members who have mentioned they are nervous of joining a swap because they fear they won't be able to go out of their way and overspend. This is not about overspending, it should be very simple and run smoothly!

There will be 2 categories: G1 and G3 (since prices seem to be really different). You can enter both (send and receive one G1 and one G3 package), or just one. If there is enough interest, I will add another category for more HTF ponies (details at the end).





Rules:
  • There is spending range in this swap. For G1 category, it is $6-$10. For G3 category, it is $3-$5. The pony must be within that price range, so everyone spends the same amount of money.
  • You must add some extras that relate to the pony in question. It can be in the form of art, a homemade thing, some sort of extra that relates to the pony's symbol or colors, etc. Be creative! The extras spending limit is $6.00, and should be no less than $2.
  • You must include a pony in the package.
  • All items must be wrapped. Think about it... how FUN is it to unwrap gifts?
  • Delivery confirmation or receipt of sending is required! This way if something is lost, we're not mad at you, but it will be the post office's fault. For international shipping, as long as you keep proof of postage, you are OK.
  • When shopping for the pony, keep in mind that it should be in as near MINT condition as possible! Send a package that you would be thrilled to receive yourself.

General Swap Rules:
* Active MLPTP Membership 1 month
* Post count 50+
* Over 16 ( This requirement may be waived providing there are exceptional circumstances or a sponsor can be provided. PM me if you're under 16 and you'd like to enter so we can chat about it.)
*You must not have any negative feedback on your feedback profile.





Step 1: Registering for the swap

Send a PM to me by copying the form below.
About A Pony Swap Registration Form:
  • MLPTP Member Name
  • Where can I check your feedback? (MLPTP, ebay, other forums, etc)
  • Full Name and Mailing address
  • Will you ship internationally?
  • Which category would you like to join? G1, G3, both?

Step 2: The wishlists

*Once you're accepted into the swap, post your wantlist on this thread or link to the wishlists forum so they're easy to find!
*Wishlists need to be for at least 12 ponies (or more), or at least close if you can only think of, say 10. Please be sure to list those ponies that fit within the spending limits. If you wish to price check please post in discussion.
*Let us know which flaws are totally unacceptable to you.
*Let us know which flaws are ok with you.
*List any allergies you might have, as well as your likes or dislikes. Since sending extras is part of this, you want to make sure you receive something you will thoroughly enjoy.

You must PM me when:
- You have any questions.
- You want to sign up.
- You get your swap partner
- You mail your package (you must include tracking info)
- You receive your goodies
- Whenever there are any issues or delays. I understand real life might play tricks on you, and that's OK, just keep me posted so nobody freaks out.



Important Dates:
* Signups : Closing on April 6th
* Feedback checking: I'll do it as people register, and will wrap up on 4/7-4/8 for last minute participants.
* Swap partner assignment : 4/9
* Shipping deadlines:
- International : May 1sth
- Domestic : May 8th

Been waiting for one I can join for awhile! Sent PM :)

Yay I'm in!

So, my wishlist (within price range) is:
G1s
Yr 1:
FF Butterscotch
Yr 2:
Sprinkles
Yr 4:
SS Scrumptious (great flocking or deflocked)
Yr 5:
SS Twilight (great flocking, pink hair still pink)
Yr 6:
Twisty Tail (both poses: US & UK, need pretty much perfect for upgrade)(*most wanted)
Boysenberry Pie
Tall Tails (works)
Lady Flutter (nice hair, no wing creases)
Yr 7:
Sweet Lily (fluffy white hair, no body marks)(*most wanted)
Sea Flower (no frizzy hair, hair streak still changes colour)
Tap dancer (works)
Yr 8:
Hula Hula
Yr 9:
Dazzle Glow (blue or pink hearts, hair still pink)
Tuneful
Yr 10:
Chatterbox (purple one, works)

G1 Accessories:
Green shooting star barrette (Bn'G)
Bridal Beauty's wedding ring
Chocolate soda sippin' straw for Chocolate Delight (*most wanted)

I'm pretty fussy with my ponies so I'd prefer a less expensive one in better condition. Can't stand dry hair, haircuts, major marks or rubs, cancer or tail rust.
Minor trims, pin dot mould or minor playdirt I can work with, I think ;-)

I sorta dislike too much pink, stuffed toys or figurines, orange flavour, and hard boiled lollies (except lollipops!)

But I like the colours: silver, black, purple, teal, latte, and very dark brown
I like jewellery, chocs, caramel, unusual sweets/foodstuffs (no allergies), fairies, books, photo albums/frames, pretty writing paper, sheets of wrapping paper with cute pics, stickers, lipgloss/balm, nail polish, hand cream, sparkly eyeshadow (pinks or whites), anything to do with gardening/flower seeds, candles
Scents of: coconut, pumpkin, coffee, strawberry, watermelon, april violet, honeysuckle, lime, bergamot
As well as lotsa other things (I'll keep adding to this list as I think of them)!

So excited about this, can't wait to get my swap partner!

What a fun idea. I am in. I'll edit this when/if I'm accepted to link to my wishlist. :)

***edit***

Ok, here is a link to my wishlist: http://www.mlptp.net/forums/wishing-well/46745-josiekats-wish-list.html#post314351

I know that there are ponies on there that fit the price range, and some that don't. Please ignore the expensive ones. To my G1 partner....don't panic....if you have trouble finding something, please know that I am ALWAYS more than happy to receive more Bluebelles. ;)

To my G3 partner....I think there should be something on my list that can be found. If you are having trouble though, please know that I would not mind starting an army of Kiwi Tart, Autumn Skye or Shenanigans....so even though they are not on the list, I would love them too.

As for condition....I'm not really picky. I don't mind hair cuts so long as they aren't major....unless they have like a funky cool looking mohawk or something. lol. Dirty doesn't really bother me, as most of it can be cleaned off. Marks are ok so long as they aren't huge and look like they can be sunfaded.

As for extras.....well, I'm not really picky. Lets see...some other things I like are the NY Yankees, Sailor Moon, Lilacs, cats, star trek, Vanilla scented things, Coffee scented things, candles, pretty much anything. I do not like spiders though, so please nothing with spiders. lol

Food wise, I'm ok with just about anything. The only real exception is dark chocolate. I have a allergy to caffeine so I can't have too much in the way of chocolate (milk chocolate is more processed and therefore doesn't have as much as the natural dark chocolate), and my husband doesn't like dark chocolate so I can't push it off on to him. I love gum, pocky, reeses pieces and butter cups, almond joys, breath mints, salty snacks.

If you have any questions, please PM peppermint_truly. I'm happy to answer any questions. :)
