I urge all to check the lists of Taken Cosplays (already made) and In Progress Cosplay's so you don't try to reserve something that's already been done/is in progress. Please read through the rules below carefully. I also encourage others to NOT blatantly take those cosplay's being quested for but aren't on the reserve list. Any interest in those cosplays should be taken to PM discussion.
FOR THE BEGINNING: ONCE YOUR THREAD IS UP TO THE STANDARDS OR MADE FOR THE FIRST TIME... PM JEZBEL AND SHE'LL ADD YOUR COSPLAYS TO THE RESERVE LIST. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE FIRST TIME (IF YOUR NOT ON THE LIST)... NOT FOR UPDATING LATER ON.
Pony Quest Subforum
Rules for Reserve Lists
1. Each person may have up to 5 Reserves at once. These should be listed in one post (here, or at the top of your quest thread or wherever), using the form below. Any other ponies they may want can then be listed somewhere else, but will not be on the official Reserve list and will not be added to the Masterlist until they are.
1a. In relation.. besides your top 5 you may list up to 20 other cosplays you're Questing for. While there is little guarantee no one else will claim them it is considered polite generally to not get a cosplay someone is planing on getting. This does not include OC's.. this is cosplays only!! As stated above if you want a cosplay on someone's list (not the top 5) please do the polite thing and PM the person who would eventually like to get it and discuss. ((We realize we can't stop you from listing more... but after the first 20 their up for free grab and staff won't take any complaints about those being claimed by another))
2. Each person may only Reserve up to 2 cosplays from the same series/game/movie/book, etc at one time. If the person gets a slot for one of the 2, or decides to switch out a different character from the same series, etc, then that's fine - there can just only be 2 at one time.
3. If your Reserve post is in the Questing forum, you just need to post the form on the top post, and the people keeping up with the lists will see it. However, if your post is somewhere else (such as in a journal, etc.) you will need to PM the person keeping track with your Reserve list, as well as any updates. People with threads in the Questing forum could put something in their thread title to the effect that their list has been updated.
4. Wherever your Reserve thread is, you will need to "update" it every 2 weeks. This means that you edit the date on the form to show the current date and the date that you will need to update it the next time. I will put an example below. This is to show that you are still interested in your Reserves and keeping up with them. It should prevent people from "sitting" on certain cosplays for an indefinite amount of time and never actually ordering them.
5. From time to time the people in charge of the list will do a "purge" of the Masterlist in which they remove any ponies that are on Reserve lists that aren't updated. There will be a warning before each purge. Reserve lists in the Questing subforum will not be deleted but a note will be put in the first post saying that they are no longer active. To have this removed, the person the thread belongs to will need to PM the people in charge. Other lists may also be edited in the same way.
6. Again, no matter what ponies are on a Reserve list, remember it's polite to also check any posts below that which may list other ponies that a person wants. Please ask about Reserving a pony first if someone else wants that pony and it's in a post below their official list.
7. Obviously, no one may Reserve the same pony that is on someone else's list. The Masterlist should be kept up to date so there's no confusion on who has what Reserved.
8. Once you obtain a custom slot for a character on your Reserve list, you should update your list (taking out the acquired Cosplay) and thread title and also PM the people in charge. That Cosplay will now be moved to the In-progress list.
8a. If you obtain a custom slot and remove and replace a slot on your Reserve list please keep the same Update date as the rest of them no matter what the actual two week time frame would be for the new one. It easier to keep track of one date than 5 as they would space out over time.
Consequences
If for whatever reason you have customed a cosplay who was on another's top 5 list and no one catches it until it has been made there will be several consequences.
1. You will NOT receive your pony. (The person who has the cosplay on their list will have the option of paying the colorist then for the finished cosplay)
2. You will be FULLY refunded.
3. You will receive a warning! (3 of these mean you will be greylisted)
