This will be updated with more detail at a later time, but for now...
1. Make a display thread for your ponies!
2. Do NOT post in other people's threads.
3. Old cert ponies can be added.
4. BAPs can be added but please make a note that they are BAP since they CANNOT breed.
5. Regarding ponies and families...
*There are very few related Gen 1 ponies... If you're unsure, ask!
*Ponies from the same flats ( similar or identical in design ) were created from spaces close to each other and have a natural bond...
*...But how the bond is developed ( romantic, friendly, brotherly/sisterly ) depends on their interaction.
6. Writing a story for the creation of your pony is fine, but remember that similar ponies come from close spaces and that Seraphim created all ( except Kolum ) Gen 1 ponies.
