Gackt Army fanbook

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

Today I received in the mail a package beautifully prepared by GA's one-woman Publishing Corps, bugackt and containing a desk calendar, SYH sticker AND a copy of the same Gackt Army fanbook as Gackt himself receives (and has done for 2008, 2009, 2010). 

The fanbook is a review of comm activity throughout the year, so it's a mix of stories, fanmade goods, artwork, polls, photos etc all contributed by GA soldiers and edited by bugackt (midori) to a high professional standard.  I'd love you all to see this fanbook because it's a piece of work produced to impeccable Gackt-standard and reflecting the talent, enthusiasm, dedication, creativity and general awesomeness of the GA comm! 






















Hope you enjoyed this selection of photos.

The shields are mine and were the most appropriate things I had to hand to use as paper-weights.  All else is from bugackt.

What a fantastic presentation wongkk! I'm so proud of all the work you guys do for the com. :D

Thank you! I didn't do much for this edition beyond proof-reading and funds - midori did all the real work. Did you see her q below about whether the post should be public?

That is absolutely breathtaking. Wow, just wow. Many and sincere congratulations to everybody who worked on it and all the contributors!!

Glad you received it. I was worried it might not reach you coz it's my first time sending something to UK. hehe Didn't I put in 2desk cals? or you received just one?

awesome shots! and love the shields a.k.a paper weights haha my co-worker said, "is your friend a knight?" XDDD

Shall we put this post on public? It'll be nice for non-members to see this. ^^

P.S.
I got the greeny fields card yesterday.. Thank you ^____^

Hello! Yes, dear sensei, your wonderful treasure package arrived yesterday, safe and sound.

I was going to email you first and thank you but I was too excited to think that I was holding the same mag that Gackt had got so I decided to make a post to GA first. Sorry not to tell you beforehand - I just ran out of time last night; it got late and I had boring things to do like putting the bins (trash) out and getting my kung fu kit together for tonight's (too) early class.

Ha ha ha - a knight!! No, I am not a knight and anyone can go to a shop and buy these shaped, painted pieces of wood! I just thought that the shape matched your design nicely - to make an attractive photo, I mean.

You did indeed include two of the colourful (and, to me, amusing - I just love the places his wire and your name gets!) desk calendars. I have put one straight in the post to a GA member & friend who also works in the print industry (would definitely be wasted on my friend-works-near-WU-shop!) but in a different country to you and to me.

Mmm - probably karadin should decide about public or comm-only post. I don't have any strong opinion except that, if the post is public, Gackt might get to see it and go "Snap!". I can change the permission on the post if that's what karadin prefers. Was just so proud and pleased to see all the things that the comm members had made, done and written that I didn't think beyond the members!

I bought that green field card for you in Amsterdam but it was really difficult to find stamps for overseas (they don't seem to have many post offices and the shops only stock in-country stamps) so I had to bring it back to the UK with me. It's well-travelled!

Public is fine with me!

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

Cool. Done!

i got the second calendar you mention!

Its fantastic! the printing is crisp and clear, and the colours are wonderful! im very impressed by the paper chose excellent choice! :D
i was very amused at finding you name in the drawings! clever very clever! ive seen them before of course, but i always love seeing an artwork in printed format.. makes it more beautiful and more important to me!

well done dearest bugackt! its a fantastic job you did and amazing!

Thank you thank you! I'm happy that you like it. Since you are also in the printing industry, I trust your judgment. ;) The choice of paper (C2S 100) was by my boss himself. He rejected my first choice which was just thinner (C2S60). XD The laser printer is new so he's still bragging about it, so when I got this idea of desk calendar, I told him, "let's make use of your new printer." ^^; He was so pleased with the printouts that he offered this to customers (the personalized desk calendars). XDD

It's the same thing with the fanbook printing, he was the one more excited about it after hearing that copies will be sent to the US, UK and Japan. LOL

I'm also pleased at the places where my name was positioned. LOL But actually I wasn't that mindful where it be placed. I just put it anywhere it seemed to fit.

okay right... here we have loads of paper types but either we cann it differently or i dunno XD
im in a printing press which has an offset printer and a digital (two) printers.. we currently have a digital printer which also does books.

The ones we have arent laser however - theyr digital. the offset ones .. are on a different level! XD

ah i wish my boss where as energetic and excited.... to me the paper you used for printing is alongside the lines of Matt Art 200gsm.

the printing quality is quite flawless to me. it printed light colours like orange and green really really beautiful!

yes over all i have no bad comments on all accounts! sry for the rabble... when youre in the printing industry you start nitpicking every little detail of anything printed you recieve >>

it is a very good idea to offer this to clients... i think my company is going that way even thought me and my other colleague (designer) look slightly forward to it.. on another hand it means more hectic stuff for us... especially since the calendars end up coming at the worst time of the year XDDDDDD

loved the layout of the months as well :D very original and the colours are fantastic! :D im enjoying having it in front of me at my desk (at home) its a modern kind of calendar with Gackt all the same and im very happy to have it! plus it brightens my day with its dashing colours! :D

look forward to your future works! :D and THANK YOU (you and Wongkk) its sincerely fantastic!! XD

((sorry for the tech printing babble... sorry mods hope i didnt go too much off!))

Great job, Midori-chan and KK!!!!

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

Hee hee - and that somebody's gonna be GACKT! I love the idea of him looking at all our Gackt-related stuff - perhaps at night when he can't sleep. [ Talking of which, I've just noticed the time on your comment, madam. Tsk, tsk! ]

[excused-early.livejournal.com]

Yes, he'll be happily flipping through the pages under a candlelight.

[And I was already up at 6AM for the kiddos! ^^;;; In need to serious nap... zzzZZZ]
