Description:

The May 2013 Fandom in a Mini Bag swap is Star Trek, in honor of the new movie hitting theaters.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, series, moments, episodes, movies, etc.

Step 2: After partners are assigned, check to see what your partner likes. You can follow-up with a message if you need to know more. Then scrounge up, buy, and/or create items that fit in a bag. Your bag must contain at least 5 different items although more is certainly encouraged to make your bag look full of goodies.

Some ideas of themed items: stickers, ATCs, postcards, toys/action figures, comics, note cards, pins/buttons, magnets, jewelry, trading cards, charms, ornaments, bookmarks, address labels, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, fanfic drabbles/ficlets, etc.

More specific ideas: com badge, Starfleet Academy stickers or acceptance letter, lists of your favorite episodes/quotes, recipes to feed into a replicator, Earl Gray tea, ship blueprints or little models, tie-in books, holodeck program list, a small red shirt, "alien" vocabulary word cheat sheets, an ode to your favorite rule of aquisition, etc.

Be sure to check your partner's profile so you don't send anything he or she might be allergic to.

Step 3: Put the items in a ziplock-type bag. Size: 1 quart (AT LEAST 8.5inches by 7 inches or 21.5cm by 18cm). You can decorate the bag or incorporate the bag into something (mount it or sew something around it). If you want to make or buy a bag instead of using a ziplock plastic one, that's fine as well, but it should be at least a quart in size. All items you gather or create should fit into the bag (if a couple are too big, that's fine).

Assemble your bags during the month of May and please send by the deadline (June 1)

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! All flakers will be beamed away to the most boring planet in the galaxy, never to return.

I like the whole franchise - if I have to name favorites I'd say for characters: Spock, Klingons, Andorians, Picard, Neelix, Sisko, Chakotey, Data, the Holo-Doctor, Trip Tucker, Doctor Phlox, Miles O'Brien, Gowron, Vic Fontaine, Tom Paris, the Borg, Porthos, Locutos, 7of9, Sulu didn't do much for me, but I adore George Takei. For series I couldn't name it.
As for Episodes, TOS The Tribbles are a classic, anything Holodeck-Centered esp. when it comes to Data on the Holodeck is epic! And of course VOY Tattoo :o) For the movies, The Search for Spock, The Voyage home (Scotty trying to talk to the computer is epic!), from Generations on all the movies are faves, except for Nemesis - the Story is to creepy for me...... I am not to fond of Q and I think the Borgqueen is pretty creepy. I don't like Riker and I don't like the guys from the Dominion.

I don't have much reboot stuff, so ANYTHING reboot-related would be awesome (all I have are the first two YA books and a Scotty figurine) and would be my first request. I adored the first reboot movie and I'm sure to love the second one. Anything related, especially anything with Benedict Cumberbatch's character, would be great!

TNG is my favorite series; I can't think of a character I don't like from TNG. I even think the early episodes are fun; they've got a certain charm and appeal.

Over the past 5 years, I've made it through all of DS-9, Voyager, and Enterprise from start to finish, so I've seen it all properly now and I love it all :-)

Characters I like: Picard, Riker, Geordi, Data, Wesley, Guinan, Q, Worf, Barclay, Jadzia Dax, Sisko, Odo, Bashir, O'Brien & family, Tom Paris, Harry Kim, Neelix, Kes (S1-S3), The Doctor, Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Archer, Trip, Reed, Sato, Phlox.

I'm less fond of TOS and the movies. I still love 'em, but they're further down on my list, if that makes sense? I do have geeky tribble slippers I wear around the office at work on Slipper Thursdays though ;-)

Extra request: I'm in computers by profession and have a small section of my geeky shelf devoted to sci-fi ship enginners. Action figures, badges, etc. I have action figures of O'Brien and reboot!Scotty and that's it.

My faves are TNG (Picard, Riker, Troy, Data, Geordi, Wesley), Enterprise (Archer, Phlox, Trip, Hoshi, Porthos), Reboot (Kirk, Bones, Pike, Scotty, Uhura, Spock, Sulu).

I really love it all!

I recently watched all the TOS movies. The Voyage Home is my favorite. First Contact is my favorite TNG film. I'm totally in loooove with the reboot film! I've already bought my special screening tickets for Into Darkness! I'd love anything with Chris Pine/Captain Kirk <3.

Fairly New to the series. I'm super excited for the new movie.

Gotta love Kirk, Picard, Spock, Riker, Scotty and so on... :)
