Skeen's McD’s Custom Swap
You know you have, like, a zillion of these things lying around, so it’s time to put them to good use! These guys are tiny, so this will be a quick 6-week swap!
Basic rules, in addition to all standard TP swap rules:
1. 16 or older to join (minors will need a sponsor. Sponsor must meet all other requirements here. If you would like to sponsor, drop me a PM)
2. Active member for at least 6 months
3. Have 5 positive feedbacks here or at the Arena
4. Have participated in at least one public swap of any sort before (candy, ATC, custom - private swaps do not count)
5. Able to provide examples of your customs
6. Delivery Confirmation is an absolute must and you must ship this one in a box if you sculpt anything!
7. DO NOT TAKE ON MORE SWAPS THAN YOU CAN HANDLE. If you are in ANY other swaps from ANY other pony boards or have taken on ANY commissions, you MUST disclose to me what your progress is for each when you send your application. I may ask for pictures of your progress to gauge whether or not you can handle more than one project.
Swap-specific rules are further down.
Important Dates:
Sign-ups: Through July 25, 2010
Reference checks: Ongoing
Partner assignments: July 26, 2010
Check-in: August 9, 2010
Shipping date: August 30, 2010 (International shipping date is August 23, 2010)
Before we begin:
PM me your application directly and send me your address at this time. Choose up to six ponies from any generation and country that you would like to receive as a McD pony and list them in your application.
Please specify things you don’t want your pony to have – thread hair, sculpted hair, real tail, etc. If you do not want things like confetti or other small bits in your package, please let me know.
Hasbro ponies only, please - no personas.
I will get back to you as fast as I can.
After the OK from me, just wait for your assignment. It’s a good idea to stock up on hair and paint or baits at this time. You might also set aside around $7 or so for shipping and Delivery Confirmation later so that you’re not caught short when its time to ship – remember, shipping late is an automatic Neutral, no exceptions.
Reference checks will be ongoing through the sign-up process, so I may have your partner assignments early.
Also, please let me know if you can ship outside your own country or not. It’s perfectly alright if you can’t!
This is a secret swap, so don’t let on who your partner is!
After your assignment:
I’ll send your assignment via PM. After that, get to work! Pay close attention to your partner’s likes and dislikes.
Please use only G3 or G3.5 McD baits, not G2’s.
Pretty much anything goes for this one so long as you use a G3 or G3.5 bait! If you want to sculpt, do it. Want to make a real tail? Knock yourself out! Want to add furry feet? Feel free! Just don’t let anything make you late for check-in and shipping!
When you PM me on the check-in date, please provide clear pictures of your custom at that time so that I can see your progress. If you’re finished by check-in you’ll still need to send pics. Please do not miss the check-in date; it annoys me to no end and it WILL be mentioned in your feedback. If you think you may miss check-in, send pics early.
This is a 6-week swap, but that should still be ample time to finish one tiny McD’s pony.
If you would like to make more than one pony on your partner’s list feel free, just don’t let that extra pony delay your shipping because shipping late is an automatic neutral.
Additional rules and important things to remember:
EXTRAS DO NOT MAKE UP FOR A MISSED DEADLINE! Extras are also not encouraged or required. This is a custom swap. If you want to send extras, that is at your own discretion but you should not expect any in return.
IF YOU SCULPT ANYTHING SEND THE PONY IN A BOX! It is SO easy for sculpted bits to be damaged in the mail, and bubble mailers offer no real protection from being smashed or having other heavy mail piled on top. Save everyone some heartache and use a box.
IF YOU MISS THE SHIPPING DEADLINE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A NEUTRAL FOR THIS SWAP! Deadlines are integral to a swap, and this is an easy one. If “life happens†and you KNOW you will not be able to continue or finish within a reasonable timeframe, you must let me know immediately so that I can pull you out of the swap. You will still receive the neutral, though. If you pull out of or are removed from the swap AFTER the check-in date, you will receive a negative feedback.
I pride myself on how my swaps are run and on how they turn out. If you have any questions or concerns please PM me immediately so we can work something out. I can’t help you if I don’t know something is wrong.

Additional rules and important things to remember:
- Do not use G2 McD ponies. I know you probably have a ton on them too, but they’re not the correct material for this swap.
- If you need close-up pics of a symbol, PM me and I’ll ask around to see if I can get any for you. If I have the pony you need, I’ll send you pics as quickly as I can.
