Description:

The April 2014 Fandom in a Bag swap is the Supernatural fandom.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters (Dean girl? Sam girl? Bi-bro? Cas fan?), seasons, episodes, moments, 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 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: a hunter's journal, fake ID, ghostfacers swag, SPRock (nothing illegally burned), Dean's amulet necklace, special keychain for an impala, peanut M&Ms, pie recipes, 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 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 April and please send by the deadline (May 1). I'm raising the ratings on this swap because I'm tired of getting flaked on in SPN swaps.

NO FLAKING ALLOWED! Hell hounds will be sent after all flakers.

It's my birthday month and I really just want my partner to not flake on me.

I love Sam & Dean the most (I'm bi-bro with definite Dean leanings at times, but I love them both). I love Cas, Bobby, Crowley, Jo, Ellen. I think John had his faults but did the best he could. Season 3 is my favorite. I adore the angst. I'm a canon het & also a slash fan; message me if you want to know my preferred pairings. I absolutely adore the Impala. My car license plate is KKAZ 2Y5 (the extra K is for my name LOL). And I've always loved "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas so anything related to that would be great.

I have an SPN charm bracelet, a salt necklace, and a Samulet necklace already.

I ADORE SPRock, so I'd love a mix CD of free songs or a list of songs you recommend with links, if you have any favorites.

I'm SO VERY IN LOVE with this fandom, so I'm sure to like anything you come up with, just as long as you actually send it. If you have any questions or want more details, just message me.

I lurve Dean the most. Happy to receive most anything on any of the characters, but do not send me Wincest fanfic please.

Hm, let's see… first of, I'm definitely a Dean girl. But there couldn't be a Dean without Sam. I love the interaction between them, and some of the most hilarious/best/saddest episodes are when they are at their best. Or worst, depends. Other characters I enjoy: Bobby, Jo, Ash, Ellen, Crowley, John and to some extent - Cas. I want to add the Impala as a favourite character too. Because, if you think about it… it's kind of a character :p

My favourite seasons would be … third and fifth. The fifth one is just packed with those kind of episodes I love. The totally random ones, like … Changing Channels, The Real Ghostbusters, Swap Meat and Dark Side of the Moon. Plus, the season finale breaks my heart.

I guess one of the things I love most about Supernatural is how they manage to mix hilarious and serious in one and the same episode, and often at the same time :)
Well, basically: I love love love this fandom, and I guess the only thing I wouldn't want is … Wincest fanfic. Nor would I like a fic that pairs any of the brother to Bobby in any romantic fashion, as he's basically their father. I guess I'm old fashioned that way, incest is taboo.

PS- If you're the crafty type, my #1 wish is for a Castiel-themed Christmas tree topper like this one or this as examples of what I mean. But no worries if it's not your thing. Just thought I'd mention it!

I'm so excited for this swap!

My favorite character is Dean. I love him with all of my heart! Some of my other favorite characters include(in order): Castiel, Sam, Crowley...honestly I would probably be happy to receive things relevant to any character as long as there are some things Dean relevant.

I love Dean's jokes and time's where he says things like "I think I'm adorable" and "I'm hilarious!" One of my favorite quotes of Dean is: "Dean: I got no idea. But what I do have is a GED and a give-'em-hell attitude and I'll figure it out."

I also don't have anything Supernatural related of my own, so a samulet would be gladly accepted, along with anything else Supernatural themed, because I definitely won't have it already!

I love cross-stitching, so if you come across a perfect cross-stitch pattern or are talented enough to design your own, that'd be great!

I'm not very into fanfics, but I don't dislike them either, I just haven't gotten very into them.

I'm sorry if I haven't covered all the bases, I'm having a bit of a brain fart right now...so if I think of anything else, I'll add it later. If you have any questions about it, just send me a message :)

Also, what's the best way to ship these fandom in a bag swaps? Especially internationally? I don't usually do international swaps but this one is way to good to pass up!

KateKintail 03/27/2014 #

@jessielightyear Glad to have you on board! It depends what you've got in your package. If you have anything breakable or oddly shaped, I would recommend a box. You might be able to get away with a bubble mailer if you have soft items (stuffies, cloth bags, cross-stitch pieces, etc.) and paper items/books . My advice is to package to make sure everything arrives intact and undamaged.

KateKintail 03/27/2014 #

Am loving all the Deanlove on here, BTW :-)

jessielightyear 03/27/2014 #

Sounds good! I'm excited to start! Brainstorming now! :)

jessicaconk 03/31/2014 #

I'm a Cas/Dean girl, and Andy, too. :)
