What is this?!!
Custom Breeding Babies is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It will allow owners to add custom babies to any breeding, per the rules below - without having to wait for normal custom slots to open. Custom breeding babies do not "replace" babies that are rolled in any way but add up to two extra babies to any breeding! The custom babies will be born at the same time as other babies and they will all grow together.
Rules/Guidelines
1 - Colorists have the choice whether or not they wish to offer this.
2 - Any colorist who DOES offer this should have SET prices for non-edited up to lots of edits. You can have as many "steps" between as you wish, but the prices need to be set. For example ::
Color Only: 75k
General Edits: 100k
Heavy Edits/Most Cosplays: 200k
OMGWTF Edits: 300k
ALSO, you may lower the prices for simply adding extra "random" babies like in rule 9. As in, the person ordering the baby knows they want an extra and say the species and gender of it but they're leaving pretty much everything else up to the colorist.
3 - Since these will still count as a breeding, colorists will get to keep ALL profit from custom babies.
4 - Custom babies STILL fall under the normal breeding rules - each owner of the parents may still only keep 2 babies out of the breeding. So if you custom a baby, you'd only be able to keep one other baby from the normal breeding roll. This is not meant to be used so the same owner can get extras.
5 - Each owner may only custom in 1 baby. So, the same owner cannot custom in 2 babies.
6 - After the normal breeding babies have been dropped off, there will be a 24 hour window in which you can post to get custom babies - if you haven't already. Meaning if babies are dropped off at 10pm, you have until 10pm the next day to post your custom form(s). If you post any form after 24 hours have passed, you will not get that custom. Check the top of colorists' breeding threads to see where you should post these forms!!
7 - Any breeding with normal, non-rare species of ponies will have 2 available custom slots. In any breeding with one rare species pony, only ONE of the the two available custom babies may be a rare. In any breeding with two rare species ponies, there will only be 1 custom slot, period.
For exampe: Dragon x Pegasus breeding - would have two custom slots but only ONE of those may be used to get a dragon baby.
Example two: Dragon x Dragon - there will only be one custom slot - no matter what type of baby is customed
The exception to this rule is a Seryph/Seryph breeding. As two Seryphs ALWAYS have twins, no more, no less... such a breeding will not be available for this, sorry!!
8 - If you custom in a baby that is NOT a rare, you may only custom into ONE breeding per month. Meaning, you'll have to wait until the next month to be able to to get another custom baby. If you custom in a baby that IS a rare, you will have to wait 3 months before you can custom in another baby - rare or normal. This is per owner, not per pony/pairing. There will be lists set up below this post so that staff can keep track with who has customed babies in what months and if they were normal or rare. These will be according to the OWNERS of the customed babies and not who paid for them. So if you wish to pay for a custom baby for a friend, it will not count against you for customing in a baby for yourself in the same month.
9 - If wanted, owners will also be able to pay custom price in order to just get another "random" baby added in. Meaning the colorist will decide what the baby looks like, you're just paying for an extra (or extras, if both owners were to pay). Likely, if the parents had any edits at all, the extra babies would be guaranteed edits. Keep in mind some colorists may lower prices for babies like this and some may not - that's up to them!
10 - For those who wish to do this, I will set up a thread to announce if you have "open" custom slots in your breeding. Meaning you can post information about the family and such and allow others the chance to custom a baby into your breeding. Of course, this isn't required, but it's a neat idea.
11 - ANY species in the parents' bloodline will be available for custom babies. BUT if you want a species that neither of the parents is, you will have to provide links to prove the parents' bloodline tie to that species. For example, if you had 2 Earth ponies, and wanted a Dragon baby ... you know there is a Dragon who was the great-grandmother of the father. So you would have to put links like so:
link - Father's father, Pony 1 Name
link - Pony 1's mother - Dragon
Or something similar XD

This list will go by the month that owners RECEIVED their custom baby, not when it was ordered. It's the responsibility of the owners to remember they've ordered a custom baby if they order it 'early' and not order any more.
For example, if youngshorty knows that she wants to get a custom in a breeding Manda is doing and goes on and orders it when the breeding is rolled... her name will not be added to the list until that breeding is done and babies are dropped off.
In the meantime, though, shorty probably shouldn't order any more custom babies since then she'd have to wait however many months and it could mess up the slot that she knows she wants for the breeding Manda is doing. Hope that makes sense!!

Normal Custom Babies - Must wait 1 month

Rare Custom Babies (Mer, Dragon, Hybrid, Seryph, Kirin)- Must wait 3 months
