Description:

The July 2015 Fandom in a Mini Bag swap is Bates Motel.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, books, movies, 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 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 5 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, bookmarks, address labels, plushies/stuffies, promo stills/autograph cards, fanfic drabbles/ficlets, etc.

More specific ideas: town postcard/travel pamphlet, taxidermy booklet/zine, motel items (towels, key, soap, do not disturb door hanger), mini vacancy/no vacancy sign, 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 quart (AT LEAST 8.5inches by 7 inches or 21.5cm by 18cm). 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 (if a couple are too big, that's fine).

Assemble your bags during the month of July and please send by the deadline (July 31)

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! Flakers will be... taken down to the basement and... never seen again.

I simply love Norman Bates! Norman Norman Norman everything! Freddie Highmore, how I love thee! I could use some ATCs to fill my Bates page, too!

All the characters are a bit crazypants/messed up, but I adore them :-) My favorites are Norman (love him!), Norma, Emma, and Dylan (I definitely have a serious crush on Dylan). I kind of dig Caleb as well, especially his role in Dylan's life, as Dylan is so desperate for a father figure/normalcy, though I still don't completely forgive him.

I love the motel in general and the feel/tone of the show. I've watched it from the beginning and really enjoy it, probably because I saw Psycho when I was a young teen and I love exploring the characters in this show. I love all the little nods toward the movie that they throw into the show.

I've got absolutely nothing, except a photo of the original house & motel from the movie when I visited Universal Studios in the '90s. So I'm happy to get anything at all related to this show. Would definitely love some ATCs!
