Description:

The September 2013 Fandom in a Mini Bag swap is Lost.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, episodes, moments, items, etc.

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 to make your bag look full of goodies.

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: button-pushing countdown clock, Island survival kit, Oceanic Airline seatback safety pamphlet, polar bear chow, Dharma Initiative welcome packet, foodstuffs with logos on them, lottery ticket, chess/backgammon/golf game, 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 September and please send by the deadline (October 1)

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! All flakers will be sent to the black smoke monster.

I've been waiting so long for this! This is one of my main fandoms. I really love everything about the show. There isn't a single character that I don't like. I think Benjamin Linus is my favorite character, but there are so many more that could come in first (e.g. Sayid, Sawyer, John Locke, Desmond). I love "bunny 8" and the Sawyer's quote when Ben shakes the bunny's cage. Polar bears and fish biscuits are also a favorite. I like the smoke monster. There is really no way you could make me unhappy with this swap unless you just halfass it or don't send. I'm sure none of us Losties would do that.

I'm really not a big fan of LOST. But I watched from episode 1, never missed an ep, and even own Season 1 on DVD. So that's my definition of "not a big fan." LOL Really, I ADORE the characters, I just hated the writing and thought it was predictable, so that disappointed me.

My favorite characters are Charlie and Sawyer. I LOVE the moral/internal conflicts and the angst. Ohhh the lovely angst! Especially with Sawyer. I love all the damaged characters and their heroics and redemption. So good. But I also really loved Hurley, Locke, Jack, Sayid, Sun, Jin, Michael, Vincent, Ben Linus (when he wasn't being a sneaky jerkface LOL), Libby, and Desmond. I don't really hate any characters, though. Okay, I kind of disliked Richard Alpert. And I didn't like evil!Locke either. I ship Charlie/Claire and Season 1 Sawyer/Sayid (but I dig all the canon pairings as well, so no worries if it's not your thing).

I'd love anything relating to the characters (things with quotes, ATCs, amigurumi or stuffies, etc.) and anything Dharma Initiative-related with the overall logo or station logos on it. I love the blue dharma vans! I really loved the Desmond-Charlie-Penny plotlines with the predictions and all; I'm also a sucker for time travel.

I would totally have watched a Locke & Linus spin-off show, especially if ghost!Michael made an occasional appearance.

How can you dislike Richard Alpert? He's so pretty. lol

Rainsembellishments 08/22/2013 #

Ooohhh yes! I'm so happy to see this swap here! I actually wore my Lost shirt last month ;)

Yes, Alpert and his pretty, pretty eyes! I love Hugo, Charlie, Kate, Charlie, Sawyer (MMMmmmmm), Sayid, Penny, Desmond. Most everyone who made it to the end from the flight.

I love the Dharma Initiative busses. I made it a thing to photograph any blue VW bus I saw when the show was on! (I also loved that there wasn't any product placement because they made their own products!)

I loved that Rose & Bernard decided to stay on the island together (with Vincent) and stay out of everyone else's drama.

I would love an island survival kit/Dharma Initiative welcome packet! Stuffies would be fun too!! :)

@kiddo47 Pretty... yes. Okay, I'll give you that much about him. LOL I feel sorry for the guy, given his background, and I'm okay with how he ends up at the end of the show. But all that working for the Man in Black... it made it hard for me to trust him.

kiddomerriweather 08/23/2013 #

He was not a trustworthy character, but hell is he easy on the eyes. lol

OMG! I just found Dharma fish biscuit cookie cutters on Etsy for $5, but shipping is $5 in the US.

I wanted to add that I'd like something for my wall o' awesome shit. It can be embroidery, a mini poster (nothing large b/c I'm running out of room). I also collect patches and pinback buttons. I forgot how much I love Charlie as well. Love Drive Shaft.

LOST, omg. I love it so much. (Except for the last season. I pretend it didn't exist because it made me so mad.) Those first two seasons and, for the most part, the third season (minus Nikki and Paolo) are some of the best hours of television I have ever experienced in my life. I wen to the LOST Live: The Final Celebration event in LA back in 2010. I got to meet several of the actors and it was basically the best thing ever.

My favorite characters are Desmond, Sun, Hurley, Juliet, Sawyer, Sayid, and Charlie. I am NOT a fan of Kate or Jack. I love anything related to Dharma, polar bears, the hatch, Drive Shaft, the four-toed statue, the literary references made in the show, the characters. Basically anything, yay!

My favorite characters are Charlie, Sayid, Desmond, Locke, Claire, and Hurley. I like the Dharma initiative stuff, the numbers, anything related to survival on the island. I'd be pretty happy with just about anything you want to send me!
