G2 to G1 or G3 Swap!
Ok pony people, let's face it- the G2s are the unloved middle child of My Little Pony history. But I have a theory that most of us are put off of them just because of the body style. If you REALLY look into G2s, there are a lot of fun color schemes and interesting symbols floating around.
So let's put this to the test!
For this swap you will be creating a G1 or G3 custom based on your partner's list of favorite G2 ponies. Meaning NO ONE will be making an actual G2 custom.
I will allow adults or babies to be on your list of favorites, but since twins are so rampant in the G2 line, please be specific about which one you like. If you like both you may list both but it is entirely up to the person making a custom for you whether or not they want (or can) make two customs within the time frame of the swap. No one should expect to receive more than one pony in their swap box.
Please make sure if your partner requests a G2 baby, you make a G1/3 baby.
And if they request a G2 adult, make a G1/3 adult!
Please don't get too creative. This is a Hasbro based swap and the pony you create should be able to be traced back to an original G2 pony without much detective work.

Need a little inspiration? MLP Land has a GREAT G2 section!

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 about 10 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!
