Description:

For this swap, we'll be creating a mostly flat craft/artwork based on one of our partner's fandom choices listed in the discussion section below. To keep everyone on an even playing field, create something that can easily be sent flat in an envelope; an ATC, a set of 3 inchies or twinchies, a frameable artwork (4x6) - something your partner can display in their fandom collection. I will host another version of this swap in the future for more substantial crafts (stuffie, Altoids tin shrine, polymer clay sculpt, etc.).

In the discussion section below, LIST AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT FANDOMS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. Additionally, list any specific characters or ships you love from your fandoms. Do not just comment "check profile for likes". If you have not left a comment with your fandoms by the time I assign partners, you will be removed from the swap.

Please suggest a variety of fandoms for your partner to choose from, not all obscure, far-flung fandoms that will be difficult for them to pull inspiration from. Fandoms can be based around anything - television shows, movies, books, music, plays, actors, artists, fashion, even sports.

oh my god. If I come to my senses and drop this swap because I am supposed to be writing in July then you can delete my comment. But as it stands I really want the chance to draw some of these things.

Things I really like:
* Star Wars: Kylo Ren, The Cantina Band, Storm Troopers
* Red Dwarf, Rimmer in particular
* Mystery Science Theater 3000
* Gotham (but only Penguin because he's my husbands doppelganger... and it cracks me up.)
* Futurama: Dr. Zoidberg!
* TMNT: the original cartoons, original comics and original live action movies.
* Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
* A Scanner Darkly (seriously, a great book and one of the most underrated movies ever.)
* Akira
* The Emperor's New Groove: Kuzco, Kronk.
* Beavis and Butthead
* The Hobbit, Golumn, youthful Bilbo.
* Don't Hug me I'm Scared
* Lisa Frank.
