If sci-fi is your genre of choice, Her Universe wants to give you your moment in the Vulcan sun as part of its 2013 Year of the Fangirl. The project will showcase a different geek gal daily on the Her Universe blog as chosen by the fans and a team of five writers selected by Ashley Eckstein, founder of the geekwear company.

How do you or your best TARDIS-dressing friend get selected? It's as easy as filling out a few questions and submitting a picture (if you choose) that exemplifies your pick's fandom enthusiasm.

Nominations for fangirls of all ages are encouraged, though anyone under 13 can be nominated by a parent or guardian only. Get nominating and create a space for your cosplay-loving friends to celebrate geek life!

5 Doctor Who Costumes, 1 Thrift Store Trip

The countdown to Comic-Con is on, and if you're not up for sewing a handmade costume to rival Gallifrey's best-dressed, a quick trip to a local thrift store or charity shop can provide enough mixing-and-matching options to have you dressed as your favorite Doctor Who characters.

The countdown to Comic-Con is on, and if you're not up for sewing a handmade costume to rival Gallifrey's best-dressed, a quick trip to a local thrift store or charity shop can provide enough mixing-and-matching options to have you dressed as your favorite Doctor Who characters. It can take some time to wade through the racks, bins, and shelves of clothing, but get creative with your inspiration, and you'll look like you just stepped off the TARDIS without spending the equivalent of a trip to Comic-Con itself.

Need extra incentive to dress in your best Time Lord gear? A photo of you in Who wear at the convention could win an Eleventh Doctor tweed jacket thanks to BBC America!
