Description:

The January 2015 Fandom in a Bag swap is the Firefly/Serenity fandom.

Step 1: Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, moments, movies, scenes, episodesor 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). Different types of items means 5 ATCs, 3 pins, 2 postcards would be 10 items but only 3 different types. The swap requirement is for 7 different types in a bag.

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: ship replica, dino toy play set, postcards from around the 'verse, Jayne hat, Serenity keychain, Inara's incense (not the explody kind), Chinese disctionary, fortune cookie, ship blueprints, 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 January and please send by the deadline (January 31).

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! Flakers will be sent to the special hell.

I love Mal, Walsh, and Kayleigh. The Dino's always crack me up and I would absolutely pass out from excitement for a Jayne hat! Please no incense! It does not mix well with parakeets.

Kaylee and Mal are my favorite characters, but I like Jayne, too. I'll leave this pretty open ended to allow for more creativity, but I do like keychains, hats, t-shirts (XL mens or unisex; XXL womens), plushies, quality handmade items, stationery, pinback buttons, action figures, embroidery/cross stitch wall art (aka "hoopla"), necklaces, earrings, pouches, tote bags, etc . . .

No incense for me either. It makes me sneeze.

I just loved this show, but mostly liked Mal (mmmmmmm, right!?), Jayne, River (omg, I love saying I can kill you with my brain...but no one is creeped out by it, boo --- would love something with that quote), and my husband loves yelling "the Shep!" Whenever he showed up (I really wanted to know more about his story). I loooove handmade stuff, so anything you can come up with would be awesome....TM patches, stuffties, figures (any media), hoopla, embroidered things, pouches/totes...anything! I'm jumping on the "no incense please" train, super sensitive nose here :(

I so hope I get you as a partner Watsonc7. I have the perfect River thing.

auralily 12/30/2014 #

My favorite characters are Jayne and River. But I really kind of love them all, so there's no wrong way to go there. I love handmade things, jewelry, figurines, shirts in women's size small, art of any kind, including wall hangings or embroidery. Honestly, I'm open to pretty much anything and I'm happy to leave it all to my partners creativity.

The only thing I wouldn't care to receive is incense. I have allergies that it does very bad things to.

Watsonc7 12/31/2014 #

Oooh well then me too Val lol....if not, maybe we can do a "one Firefly thing" side swap :)

JediLibrarian 12/31/2014 #

That would be fun! :)

KateKintail 12/31/2014 #

I already own a Jayne hat and a Jayne hat Christmas ornament. I also already have a car bumper sticker, the comics/graphic novels, the DVDs of course, and dino figures.

I wouldn't mind having a non-wool Jayne hat, as mine is authentic but kind of itchy. Also, the Firefly board game would rock my world, but that's not cheap and hard to come by in some places. Just thought I'd mention it. Patches would also be fantastic. Or a brown browncoat t-shirt (I have a 2 Firefly shirts, neither one of them brown or browncoat-related).

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'd also love to hear what YOU love about the fandom--you favorite quotes, your favorite fanfics (I ship Simon/Jayne and Simon/Kaylee mostly when I write Firefly fanfic but have no problem with canon ships, gen, or slash).

KateKintail 12/31/2014 #

Oh, I, too, find incense too strong for my senses and allergies. I would prefer to not receive it. Thanks!

JediLibrarian 01/ 1/2015 #

I forgot to add that I have the comics already. I also love River and her quirky ninja skills. Size Small for things and I adore jewelry and pins to put on my lanyard.

Watsonc7 01/ 2/2015 #

I don't have the comics :( (throwing that out there)

Rainsembellishments 01/ 2/2015 #

I LOOOVE Firefly/Serenity! I have the dvds & comics...so I'm current with the storyline. I have several Jayne hats & a complete Kaylee Cosplay ensemble. :)

I'd really love a Browncoat flag...classic or resistance! I too would love the boardgame, again like Kate said, I know it's not cheap so I certainly don't expect it.

Maybe since it will be my birthday at the beginning of February (when the package is expected to be delivered), it could be a birthday themed Shiny package?!? Just an idea. :)

I love the whole crew: Mal (I love my Captain!), Inara (actually don't have many goodies of our favored companion), Kaylee, Simon (mmm), Wash (and those crazy dinos!), Zoe (Emma), River (can't wait to see how her storyline continues), Shepard, Jayne....and Serenity herself!

I love space and the 'Verse too!

Please have fun! Also, I too get the sneezies from incense or most scented things (fragrance allergies are the worst!).
