My favourite birthday and Christmas cards...

[pyroyale]

You know it's a boring Boxing Day when the highlight of it has been discussing Gackt on the official Iron Maiden fanclub forum.

I love it when fandoms collide so unexpectedly.

Which reminds me... I sent this photo to a friend a week ago because it amused me so I may as well post it here.

I'm dying to know, what did your fellow Maiden fans think of Gackt?

Well it's part of a big VK discussion thread so everyone in there knows who he is already. Nobody new has been brave enough to venture in... yet!

General consensus seems to be a little too poppy and crazy, but has some great songs, a great voice and is quite talented.

A pretty fair review I think really. I'm surprised there's so many people who are fans of both though to be honest.

The first one looks like a very viable birthday card. Somehow Eddie and a plane just doesn't "say" Christmas.

Happy birthday, merry Christmas, and heeee, that's awesome. <3

Could I possibly persuade you to scan that Maiden fan club card, though, please? It looks completely badass and I didn't get one this year, because my membership got screwed up. Wanna seeee!

Will do! I'll do it tomorrow - front page and the messages inside right?

It's a shame your membership got screwed because the magazines have been a lot better this year, despite lack of any real activity.
