Description:

The August 2016 Fandom in a Bag swap is the Whedonverse.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, shows/movies, episodes, 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 7 different types of items although more is certainly encouraged (PLEASE try to make it look full).

Some ideas of themed items: stickers, ATCs, postcards, toys/action figures, comics, note cards, pins/buttons, magnets, jewelry, trading cards, legal music CDs, charms, ornaments, books, bookmarks, address labels, postcards, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, fainfic, zines, etc.

More specific ideas: Giles-inspired bookmarks, Sunnydale high bumper sticker, Dingoes Ate My Baby set list, Angel Investigations business card, pylean dance instruction card, a mini zine or comic, fanfiction drabble/ficlet, Firely-inspired fortune cookie with fortune, dinosaur toys, knitted Jayne hat, Agent Coulson's ID badge, personalized acceptance letter from Bad Horse, Freeze Ray blueprints, quarters for the machines at the laundromat, tie-in novels, personalized letter from the Avengers asking your partner to join the team, lists/cards with your favorite Whedon quotes... you get the idea by now, right?

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 gallon (measures about 10 inches by 11 inches or 28cm by 26.5 cm). 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 gallon 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 August and please send by the deadline (August 31).

NO FLAKING ALLOWED! I will set a vamp on you. And not a soul-having one either.

@KateKintail I have read your profile! Joss Whedon is definitely talented and it's cool his gifts bring people together under common interest!! What items would be of most value to you for this swap?? :)

@KateKintail I'm coming across lots of goodies!! Think of anything specific???

Hi! SORRY I never put my specific likes in. Please send me or post yours as well, when you get a chance.

I just got back from vacation and realized I'd never written anything. So here goes (stolen from past swaps):

I would love items from any/all of the following: Buffy, Angel, Firefly/Serenity, Sugarshock, Dr. Horrible, Dollhouse, Astonishing X-Men, The Avengers

I love almost every character but I guess my favorite characters are Spike, Giles, Wesley, Xander, Fred, Andrew, Topher, Victor, Sierra, Dr. Horrible, Penny, Mal, Simon, Jayne, Kaylee, Wash. And in Marvel: I ADORE Joss' Shadowcat/Colossus, Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America

I already own a Jayne hat and a Jayne hat Christmas ornament and dino figures. I wouldn't mind having a non-wool Jayne hat, as mine is authentic but kind of itchy. I have the Firefly graphic novels.

Favorite Buffy episodes: Once More with Feeling, Hush, A New Man

Favorite Angel episodes: Damage, Smile Time, Hero, Spin the Bottle, Life of the Party, Not Fade Away, I Will Remember You

I adore Firefly/Serenity. Every second. Every character. Every episode. My absolute favorite characters are maybe Simon, Kaylee, and Mal. But I LOVE THEM ALLLLLLL! Even Badger ;-) I love the ship, love the feel of the show (and this from someone who grew up hating westerns and not loving hardcore sci-fi movies), love the clever writing, love the dialogue, I love everything (not a big fan of Reavers, but that's probably it)

I'm working my way through Buffy Season 8 right now, so no spoilers for 8/9!
