Today I received in the mail a package beautifully prepared by GA's one-woman Publishing Corps, [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Special thanks to Gen. [livejournal.com profile] karadin and Col. [livejournal.com profile] wongkk for the hard work proofing all pages and entries, and also for the encouragement and support.  Thank you officers for the nice feedback. And lastly, BIG thank you to all members who contributed their art, fiction, etc., and those who joined the polls, contests and challenges. I had fun and learned a lot of things by designing/layouting this book like the previous ones because of the great contents.  I'm also thankful to my boss (employer) who gave discounts to the print versions. ^_^v (He even kept two extra copies for the company LOL).

Hope you all enjoy viewing them as much as I do!

~Midori

P.S. For those who didn't know, one printed copy will be sent to GACKT.

Each year, a selection is made of the posts to Gackt Army by its members for inclusion in a fanbook, which then is printed and sent to Gackt. The work is done by an editorial team with the benefit of expert design and layout from GA's own Colonel [livejournal.com profile] bugackt.

Having just received a copy of what is sent to Gackt himself and being hugely struck by its awesomeness, I'd like you all to see and to encourage you to give your contributions to GA always as though Gackt himself will read them, which - in the annual Fanbook - he might!

Please click on the image below to see more; you may need to click again once the larger pane opens to zoom to full size.



You can also see all the pages in HQ at the stored final edit here (thanks to Col bugackt for the link):
