Description:

The July 2014 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 (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, charms, ornaments, books, bookmarks, address labels, postcards, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, fainfic, zines, 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 July and please send by the deadline July 31).

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

I love Otter!Sherlock and Hedgehog!John sooooo much. Would LOVE an ATC or anything else with the two of them as otter & hedgehog. My huge secret wish is for a mini Sherlock scarf for my small otter stuffed animal (I measured with a string and his neck is 8 inches around).

Otherwise... I love BBC Sherlock. I ship Johnlock and John/Sherlock/lLestrade. But I love canon ships as well. My favorite episode is still "The Hound of the Baskervilles" but I've seen S3 and love it as well. You can't go wrong sending any Sherlock-related goodies my way. If you have any specific questions, send me a message!

Yes! I'm so thrilled to see this swap! I started watching just this year and am addicted and begging for more! My favorite episode is A Scandal in Belgravia :) Love all the interpersonal dynamics between everyone! I like Johnlock, Sherlock & Molly, Sherlock & The Woman, John & Mary, Mrs. Hudson rocks, Lestrade seems like he has some secrets. Mycroft is just devilish and Moriarty is just the devil.

I'd love some Sherlocked (I AM SHER LOCKED) goodies! Maybe something "tagged" with a smilie. Skull, pipe for blowing bubbles, a zine, artwork, plushies. Something with "I'm a high-functioning Sociopath" on it ;) Anything fun and useful that I can wear or put on my fandom wall I'd love!

I confess I ship John/Sherlock. =D Mrs Hudson is amazing, she is the kind of woman I hope to be one day. She really has lived an amazing life and she is certainly stronger than she looks. I love all the jokes with Mycroft and Cake. I think Lestrade is so foxy. The Woman I think is that naughty, slightly dark & selfish side we wish we could embrace with such elegance and grace as she did. I do like Mary, she is sassy & witty and I do kind of think that her and John are a good match... but my heart does beat solely for Johnlock! Molly has grown so much as a character, I cant wait to see if her and Sherlock do end up together one day.
I don't know if I could pick a fave episode, or even rank them ... but if I had to at say gun point; The Reichenbach Fall, The Empty Hearse and The Great Game. I think Moriarty is an amazing villain, he could have been the typical bad guy but he is fun and full of character... there really isn't a way to describe him without writing an essay. lol! I love all the Sherlock jewellery and hair clips they have available now, artwork, toys, bookmarks, magnets... I guess pretty much everything. I am not a fussy person, but I do tend to like more practical and useful items.

I absolutely love the swap idea, but 1. there is close to no Sherlock merch where I live and 2. I´m stuck in my finals week at uni at the moment and know that I won´t have the time right now to craft every item myself (though there are a few tempting ideas lingering in the back of my brain attic). So I joined this group simply so say: I´d love to do something like this as a private swap and with a focus on "self made merchandise" along the "CD with violin music", "Mrs H´s guide to tame tenants" and stolen ID cards.
If there´s anybody who feels like doing this, just send me a pm saying: "I´m your huckleberry."
