Mika's 2009 MFC Yearbook
The Title for Mika's 2009 MFC Yearbook will be...THE FANS WHO KNOW TOO MUCH ------------------------------------  January 10, 2010WE NOW HAVE A CURRENT LIST OF EVERYTHING WE'VE RECEIVED. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON THE LIST OF SUBMITTED ITEMS, WHICH CAN BE FOUND HERE: http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/sh...postcount=1005 ------------------------------------ My Dearest MFC, I am reprising my role as ring leader of this project. Yes, I go slightly insane for about half of the year. Yes, there is a lot of work to be done. But you know what, I am so ready! And Mika is so worth it… Here’s how things are going to go. We make lists, lots of lists…we put up every single guideline we can possibly think of and all you have to do as a participant is read them. We manage this project, we keep track of names and categories etc…we check and re-check the hundreds of emails (not kidding, hundreds) and save everything into a massive folder called “2009 MFC YEARBOOK”. 2009, can you believe it? I cannot believe that this has been dubbed a tradition on this fan club. I am truly tickled pink by that. For this project to have had the success that it has in the past is truly remarkable. I can’t seem to let it go. Last year’s book was visibly larger and better than the one before it. And we didn’t think that was possible. It goes to show, that we just keep getting better and better.     What is mandatory this year? If you join this project, you are required to submit two things: 1. A message to Mika (word limit- 450) 2. A picture of yourself OR something you would like to represent you visually (high resolution) *You sign up for this project, you submit these two things. *There is no “theme” for the message to Mika. Say whatever you want to say to him, the way that you want to say it. Write as little as you want, but please don’t go over the word limit (we can’t end up with a yearbook in volumes)[/FONT] Last edited by lollipop_monkey; 11-01-2010 at 09:12 AM.. |

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT YOUR SUBMISSIONS SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO THE YEARBOOK EMAIL: MFCMAG@HOTMAIL.COM NOTE:Anything & everything you submit will be proof read. NOT for content, but for spelling errors. Things slip by, so make sure that you read what you write yourself before sending the final version. NOTE: Please do not email me a new version of what you have already sent. Make sure you have written everything that you wanted in that first draft. NOTE: Any text you submit must be plain. This means no wacky fonts or colors. We’ll leave that to layout people. It’s easier to work with if it’s plain. NOTE: Any pictures you submit are not to be attached to word documents. Send in pictures by simply attaching them in an email or linking a photo bucket album for example. All pictures must also be of reasonably good quality and resolution for printing purposes. (see bottom of post for guidelines set by our fabulous print coordinator!) NOTE:The emails you send with your submissions must have a subject headline that includes your MFC name and what you are submitting. MESSAGE FROM THE PRINT COORDINATOR (LOLLIPOP_MONKEY A.K.A. MANA) A note about pictures and layout: 1) If you're on the layout team, you must be available for a couple of MSN meetings throughout the layout process where we can discuss general guidelines and technical specifications for layout. 2) Pictures - Pictures must be 300 dpi. Anything less than that will NOT be included this year. Last year I spent something like 22 hours fighting with content - both pictures and page layouts - that were far smaller than they should have been, trying to massage them into something that was barely passable when printed. This year, there's a hard line on that - if it's not adequate quality, it doesn't go in. Period. Full stop. I'll be setting up a separate hotmail account specifically for people to email pictures so I can check if they're the right size. If you have any doubts, please plan to send your pics to this account and be prepared to find alternates if I tell you they're not high enough quality. Apart from that - things are getting exciting in Mikaland! Yay 2009! Last edited by lollipop_monkey; 21-12-2009 at 07:15 AM.. |

Now for the fun part, the extra curriculars! I only ask that you sign up for what you KNOW you can do. Don’t take on too much if you don’t think you can handle it. Here are the different sections of the yearbook, including a brief description of each. *Please note the word limits* (Names will be bolded up as we receive your submissions) MEMORIES: Tell a Mika memory…maybe you have tons from this year, tell them all if you want! WORD LIMIT: 900 words, one (1) story per participant.
I ADMIRE MIKA BECAUSE…Oh, what’s this?! A new category… So the deal was that once you’ve written a HMCML (How Mika Changed My Life) story that you couldn’t write one again for another book. I thought it would be cool to change things up and put in a new “essay” topic. No one has done one of these before, thus…anyone can sign up. Have at it! I admire Mika because…: This explains it all. Give us the scoop. WORD LIMIT: 450 words
THE TRAVEL CHRONICLES OF THE MFC: Mana thought this one up, here are her words  "since Mika seems to appreciate the efforts people make to get to his gigs, this will be dedicated to travel stories from MFCers who have had to spend at least one night away from home while traveling to see a Mika gig." I think it's brill!
WORD LIMIT: 750 Words *Pictures can be sent as attachments in the email, not incoorperated into the word doc. Make sure they follow the quality standards. MY FAVORITE SONG IS...Here’s what is going to be extra exciting about this yearbook. It is a new album year! So that means, just like the first book we can tell him what our favorite song off of the record is and why. (only a song off of the NEW record, not LICM)
WORD LIMIT: 200 words *Sign ups for this can come after the release of his album or now if you already know you’ll love anything and everything off of the new album. The Boy Who Knew Too Much - THOUGHTS ON THE ALBUM: So, what did you/are you going to think of the new album?! Sign up when the time comes or sooner, if you know you're gonna wanna speak on M's fabulocity!
POETRY: Self explanatory. It can be funny, serious…whatever! *Submission limit is two (2) per participant
ART: This looks to be one of Mika’s favorite sections. He is obviously drawn to artists, loves it and is one himself. So let’s make this section come alive once more. BIGGER & BETTER THAN EVER! *No limit to submissions *Content cannot be photoshop artwork that contains an actual professionally taken image of Mika. We’d get into copyright issues with that.
PICTURES SECTION: This year, this section will not include pictures of Mika performing. What it will include are the following categories: -MFC member meet ups -Costume/dress up -Pictures taken WITH Mika -Pictures taken WITH the band. *You must must must include a caption. The caption can not be more than TWO (2) sentences long, stating who is in the picture/whatever else you want him to know about it. *ALL Picture submissions must be of high resolution.

I'd like to sign up for proof-reading, cover design, and pictures. I might have some Mika art later.
 (was I supposed to sign up like this?  )

Hi Mel. I'm not even going to sign up for a category until I've already completed the item, to make sure that it's done, but I do want to put my hand up to proof read again. If you'll have me that is
