Description:

The August 2012 Fandom in a Mini Bag swap is the BBC Sherlock fandom.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite Sherlock characters, cases, or any other preference you may have.

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.

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:knitted Sherlock scarf bookmark, case book, fake ID cards/ID cards stolen off Mycroft, Mrs. H's tips for dealing with eccentric tenants, CD of violin music, John's blog articles, your favorite quotes, plushie/stuffie hound.

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. 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 and it should close.

Assemble your bags during the month of August and please send by the deadline (September 1).

NO FLAKING ALLOWED! All flakers will be kidnapped by Moriarty and Sherlock will not come looking for you.

Is it ok to make all of the items? I don't think I can get any sherlock themed items at stores around here.

Also, does anyone know what the measurements of a quart ziplock are? They aren't labelled by volume here, just called 'snack size' or 'sandwich size' etc.

It is absolutely okay to make all of the items! You get a month to make it, so if you people wanted to order things online, that should give enough time as well. But handmade items are wonderful and unique! What fan wouldn't appreciate that?

The measurements of a quart-sized bag... I don't have them right off hand, but I can measure one when I get home. The internet is telling me the dimensions are: 7 inches x 8 inches (17.8cm x 20.3 cm) and by eyeballing my ruler, that looks right to me.

As far as what I like... I especially love Sherlock & John. And I love the Hound of the Baskervilles episode. But I really like all the characters and stories in BBC Sherlock so buy/gather/make whatever you like and I'm sure to love it :-)

Excited for this swap! I got flaked last time I did a sherlock swap so I'm really looking forward to seeing what my partner comes up with.

I love the whole series but my favourites are Sherlock and Moriarty.

I really like the series, so feel free to gather anything you think would be fun :)

Sherlock and John are my favorite characters, but where would we be without Moriarty? And Mrs. Hudson is a charm! My favorite episode has been "The Reichenbach Fall," but I love it all!
