w-inds. FAN CLUB EVENT 2008 PROJECT!

hay guys! it's getting to be that time!

i'm incredibly happy to have so many people planning on participating. those of you that live outside of north america will need to start sending your entries in soon. i also wanted to make absolutely sure everyone knew details one last time. i though i had clarified enough, but some of the comments have me concerned, and since half of you posted anonymously, i doubt everyone checked to see if there was a response.

there are THREE books. one for ryohei, one for keita, one for ryuichi. there is NO 'group' book. if you are only sending one page, please specify whose book you want it to go into. that also goes for those of you that are sending in multiple pages: unless it's glaringly obvious who it's for, please label it with a post-it or something.

the books themselves are ready to go, they just need to be decorated and pages put in. don't worry, i'll definitely be taking lots of pictures of the books before i leave. :D

to those of you that will be emailing entries, make sure the image is 8x10 at at least 300 dpi, preferrably saved in png format or highest quality jpg. i've received a couple emailed entries already, so if you've already sent them, please disregard this.

i have emailed those who left their contact information in either of the previous posts. if you haven't received an email, check your junk mail to make sure it hasn't gotten filtered, then comment here with your email address so that i can send you the information on where to ship your pages once you've completed them. unless you live in thailand, in which case, you'll be working with yume-chan over at w-inds.Alive to make it easier (and because i can't speak thai at all).

any donations in any currency are greatly appreciated, either with your entry or paypal. it's not a requirement by any means, but it would be nice to break even for the costs of putting this together. every little bit helps.

if you have any questions at all, ask away. you can contact me through a comment here, via email at allicheri[at]gmail[dot]com, or on msn messenger at shinigamitabris@hotmail.com.

again, THANKS SO MUCH!

w-inds. 2008 fan club event project

if you'll remember, i asked about those interested in this post here and have gotten a good idea of things. as promised, now that tour dates are set and i know for the most part when i'll be going, i've got more details for you.


~content~
the whole concept is to make a scrapbook, so most anything goes. you can write a letter, use pictures, drawings, magazine clippings, &tc. be creative! be reasonable though, don't have anything hanging over the edge of the page or sticking up from it. the book does need to be able to close properly. keep any pictures or drawings you include pg. that means no nudie pics of yourself to try to win over the boys or explicit drawing of any sort. any language is fine, but if you are able to translate it or write in japanese, it would help. i am not providing translation services (my japanese is mediocre at best) so you're on your own as far as that goes. i'm just doing the compiling, assembly, and delivery.

~due date~
all entries must be received by march 1 to be included. must. must. must. i cannot stress this enough. when you have your entries redy, email me at allicheri[at]gmail[dot]com for an address to send them to. i will have help assembling the books (thank you kenaressa and elise_maxwell), but am flying to japan mid-march. the books will be delivered at this year's fan club event, most likely at one of the nagoya shows.

~size requirements~
1~2 people: one full 8x10 page, or a half page if you feel you can't fill up a whole one
3+ people: two standard 8x10 pages
entries will be attached to scrapbook pages and placed in a book together. you may send in an individual entry in addition to a group entry. to make things even, please send in one entry per member if possible, as there will be a book given to ryohei, keita, and ryuichi individually. by 'group entry' i mean you and a group of friends submitting pages, NOT a w-inds. entry. there are only going to be three books, one for each member.

~things to send~
•your pages to go in the books, noting which page goes to whose book
•your name (real or your online name is fine)
•your age and city/country (optional, but will be good to show where all we're from and stuff)
•a small donation (optional, again, just $1 or $2 will help, i'm paying for the books out of my own pocket and they are not cheap)

~notes~
•if you can't physically make and entry and snail mail it, you may also digitally enter. the size requirements are the same, just make sure you do it at at least 300dpi so that it looks good when printed.
•more information will probably added to this post shortly as people start asking questions.


IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON PARTICIPATING, PLEASE COMMENT TO THIS ENTRY WITH YOUR NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION ALONG WITH HOW MANY PAGES YOU THINK YOU WILL BE SENDING.


SPREAD THE WORD! ♥

i'd like to do a big project for all of the international fans for the fan club event this year and need to get an idea of how many people would be interested in contributing. i don't have all the details worked out just yet; i need to know just how big this is going to end up being so i can plan.

the fan club events are usually in march/april, and i want to bring a gift from the international fans this year. the gift? a scrapbook for each member.

i'll be asking each person that wants to participate to send an 8x11 page decorated with letters/pics/&tc to go into a scrapbook. if a lot of people want to do it, i'll probably limit it to half a page for individuals, 1 page for pairs/trios, a 2 pages for larger groups. all you would need to do would be to make your page and send it in, hopefully along with a small ($1~$2) donation to cover the cost of the books themselves. scrapbooking supplies aren't cheap.

( some clarification )

i'll be delivering the book at whichever event i end up going to. more details will be forthcoming, but if you're at all interested and think you may want to participate, please comment on this entry. if you're here from super☆lover or paradox and don't have a livejournal, please comment anonymously. you don't have to leave any information yet, just a note to say you'd like to join in.

hopefully this project will be successful in letting them know about all of you guys all over the world that support them over the distance. ganbarimassssssssssssu! ;[]vv
