The June 2015 Fandom in a Mini Bag swap is Musicals.

Step 1: Please list in the comments your favorite characters, musicals, songs, 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: programs, CDs (no illegal mix CDs as per swap-bot rules), your ideal cast lists, a series of art inspired by a musical, Broadway merch, 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 April and please send by the deadline (June 30)

Group rating rules apply. NO FLAKING ALLOWED! Flakers will have a chandelier fall on them.

My favorite musicals include: In the Heights, Wicked, The Lion King, Matilda, Rent, Aladdin and Next to Normal. However I love basically anything Broadway or Disney.

I loooooove Les Mis (even though I've never had a chance to see it in person). And I wish I could say I've seen Lion King, too, but I haven't seen that yet either.

I do love Avenue Q and Phantom of the Opera (which I've seen twice--once in Canada in my youth and once on Broadway). My deepest, strongest musical love, though, is RENT. I've seen it more than a handful of times, once on Broadway before it closed (which was on my bucket list). I love all things RENT, especially Mark and Tom Collins and the cast as a whole and every single musical number, even the ones that make me bawl.

I've got soundtracks for all of the above already and the RENT DVDs. I've also read the original Phantom of the Opera book and one of its Phantom spin-off books. You really, really can't go wrong with anything else RENT, Phantom, or Les Mis-related for me for this swap, though. Especially RENT.

I love the Music Man. Wicked is great, Phantom of the Opera or Cats. And always love Dirty Dancing. Actually I love all musicals.... the sappier the better.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about my childhood! I LOVED the Music Man, Camelot, and the Sound of Music.

Yes, Shirley Jones anything is good! Oklahoma, Music Man.....etc. Richard Harris in Camelot and Julie Andrews.....Phenomenal voices. I forgot to mention Sweeney Todd and how about Into the Woods? All interesting!
