Or, alternatively, if people prefer to have it shipped to TCC before the start of the season (then we need to decide fast), anyone knows what is the shipping address? I can easily find TCC address online, but I'm not sure if the shipping address is the same as the general building address (sometimes they are not the same...?)

Wow, thank you for the guide @faeline

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I'm really glad people like the design It was a lot of work but definitely worth it Some info about printing our fanbook: I started looking into printing services. The easiest option seems to print it as a customized photobook (from the pdf file), and I am thinking of using this company: https://www.prestophoto.com/ (one of the few services I found with an A4 or similar portrait option) Depending on the exact format we go for (size, hard vs soft cover, etc.) it should be ~40-50 USD: ~25$ for the book + 20$ for delivery fee (to Canada, see also below*). There are a few potentially interesting options (like removing the company logo in the back cover) that would add a bit to the price, but we can talk about that later if we really go with this company. Given that I am the one with the uncensored file, I'll have to order it myself. It's probably easier if I pay for it first, and we can share the cost between all of us later? I was thinking, given the time line we are looking at - probably mid August at the earliest - should we aim to deliver it at ACI via the gift box? We have many fans here (including myself) going to ACI so that would be an easy option. It'd be nice to deliver it before Yuzu's start of the season, but I'm a bit uncomfortable at the idea of delivering it directly to TCC and looking like *that kind of fan* (even with the best intentions in mind). Unless there is an address I am unaware of for "fan mail"? *On that note also, shipping fees from that printing company are lower for the USA, so one possibility to save ~10$ would be to ship it to a US satellite going to ACI (any moderator going maybe?) who could bring it themselves rather than myself. (I know 10$ isn't much of a difference if we're all chipping in but I want to be honest about it) Anyway, that's what I've found so far. If people have a different and maybe better plan/option for printing and delivering the book, please share

Nobu looks so different with the make up - and so serious for once - but it's a great look too

Yulia and Stéphane? (that's his costume from before, right?) The costumes are so beautiful

This popped up in my YT feed. It's from 2 weeks ago but... Roman's gloves! The gloves!

All I heard is Yuzu going to ACI. The rest of the news was just cosmic background. Nothing about media day whatsoever. Lalala, you can't change my mind.

Why is this so accurate?

I expected Evgenia to go again this year given the proximity to her training base, but if she's doing Nebelhorn 2 weeks later, I guess not.

So, no ACI for Evgenia this year if this is accurate. (or any other Russian lady)

I did. They're my little fanyu minions Long story short, I figured it would be a cute way to introduce the different sections and have a sort of common theme throughout the book. (Also so the "If it wasn't for Yuzu" and "Quotes" sections aren't pure walls of text, which can appear a bit off-putting). Though I need to fix a few details later.

I kinda wish I could share the full version. Some of the messages are really, really touching.... (but, you know, privacy...) Btw, I just updated the version with a few corrections Glad to have some feedback, I guess after a while I can't see anything anymore

A quick word here too for more visibility: I have just posted the full (public) version of the fanbook !! It's available here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17VHVGzQUGb3E6miwXPWdoQ0U4QlYHCR6 And you can find more details or give me some feedback in the related thread : We're almost there Edit: link updated

I have finally finished the public version of the fanbook !!!!! An 80-page long baby A few words about the book: First, thank you to all the people who participated, and special thank you to those who allowed me to share their messages And sorry for the delay... I still consider this a draft version in the sense that I am open to comments/corrections and willing to change some things. For instance, I wasn't super inspired for the little "introduction" to the last section, so if anybody is in a writing mood... be my guest. However I am not planning to change the general layout - redoing everything would just kill me for good For the cover image, the program I used only only accepted basic latin alphabet, so I apologize for the characters that have been modified and/or romanized. I tried to stay as similar as possible to the original language, or at least their roman version (and in case you cannot tell, it says "thank you" in as many "fanyu-spoken" languages as I could insert). In the end I left the words "fanyu" and "infanyuation" in the stat section since it seems that the general consensus was to keep it like that (and, several people in the messages self-identify as fanyus as well so I think it is OK). As previously mentioned, all fan messages & their names/aliases have been blurred for privacy reasons, except for the messages that I was told I could share. Likewise, while I left all pictures/fanarts/creations visible, I censored faces/names/aliases on them. If I missed anything, please tell me and I'll change it for the public version. It might not be obvious in a pdf version, but I tried to keep in mind the future printed version. For instance, all sections start on the right page and have a specific background. In the "If it wasn't fo Yuzuru" section, the color theme changes every 2 pages (otherwise it looked very, very repetitive) so that pages facing each other are of the same color. That sort of things. This is in fact why I am reluctant to change the layout now So hopefully people are happy with it... With all that said, here is the link to the pdf: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17VHVGzQUGb3E6miwXPWdoQ0U4QlYHCR6 I'll leave it online for a little while so people can have a look, and meanwhile I'll look into printing options... Also, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to also include a pdf copy on a usb flash-drive for ease or reading? I can easily get a Pooh one, for instance like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Winnie-Shaped-Cartoon-Drives-Storage/dp/B00DI8QFI2/ref=sr_1_18?crid=35CVJMPNKBA78&keywords=winnie+the+pooh+usb&qid=1563736486&s=gateway&sprefix=usb+winnie%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-18 Anyway, just a thought but it would be very easy to add to the package. ___________________________ edit: link updated after a few corrections

It is pretty telling that we don't need any jump to be entertained by Yuzu

That would be, admittedly, hilarious

Shoma just cracks me up

Indeed! (sorry it's taking so long...) I'll post the full (blurred) version this weekend. I'm just waiting a few more days to see who agrees to have their message readable to everyone. Also, in case you haven't seen it yet, I shared the survey results a couple weeks ago in the other thread: Or quoting myself so you don't have to go through the entire thread:

I agree. For all that I can objectively recognize (and appreciate) his physical appeal, it is his obvious passion and dedication that made me a fan. Since I was a newbie to FS, I don't even mean how he goes after the hard physical & technical content (though there is that as well) as I was clueless at the time. But the way he puts his heart on the ice translates in his programs and it is very touching. At least for me.

Writing this message here to have more visibility: I am in the process of making a "public" version of our fanbook to share with fans the result of our work before we print it and give me feedback/corrections (the first draft is essentially ready)! Since we did not warn that there would be a public version beforehand, most messages will be blurred in order to respect fans' privacy (some of these messages were quite private in nature, particularly in the "If it wasn't for Yuzuru" section, and for Yuzu's eyes only). I will only show messages for which I receive permission to do so. So, I'm asking those who participated whether you are OK with your message(s) being shown to everyone? The aliases will remain blurred anyway. I directly contacted those whose name I think I recognized. If I haven't contacted you already (either you used a different alias or there were several people with similar names and I don't know who is who), and you agree to your message being public, please contact me by PM! The more visible messages, the better !! I'll wait a few days for answers. By the way, I think I'll leave all the fanarts, fan creations & pictures visible since there isn't any sensitive material, though I'll blur people's faces when needed for obvious reasons. Thank you again for your participation and sorry for the wait....

There’s more

Now, THAT would be proper psychological warfare

This one?
