Hey you guys! For the few (and I think it's very few, if any) of you who don't know me, I'm Ashley and I'm a James addict.

So, as most of you know, I'm thinking about making James a book (like a through the seasons type thing) with notes from fans, pictures, fanart stuff like that. Kinda like I did with some of you for the CG but general through the years and just showing him how much we appreciate everything he has done, from playing Nathan, to being himself, to the CG, etc.

I also thought it would be fun to make a DVD of stuff. Whether it be music vids you guys have made, or videos of ourselves with a message to James. I'm open to just about anything that is within reason.

As of right now, the books I'm looking at are 10 pages front and back (so 20 pages in all). They are all 8x8 (or 8.5x8.5) inches. That'll keep it small so there's not much wasted space and also seem a little more personal.

My trip is in mid-October (15-19) so I'm probably looking at an end of September, very beginning of October deadline. Plenty of time. I'll give a more definite date closer to the time.

But first, if I could get a count of everyone who wants to participate, that would be amazing so I know if I need to buy anymore pages.

Thanks you guys! You're amazing!

3. Sally

6. Raff
7. Roshel
8. Lauren
9. Sarah
10. Jess

UPDATE 9/8/10:
I'm buying the book either Friday or Saturday, so then after that if you guys want to start sending stuff, that would be great!

I think I'm going to aim for having all of the artwork and notes by September 24th. So that's still a good 2+ weeks away. It'll also give me time to be able to work on it and study for midterms which are right before my trip. Ugh.

If you're sending a video of yourself, I'll ask to have those by October 1st. There's really no time limit, but just keep it short. Probably a minute or less is fine.

If you are sending a music video, you can send me a youtube link or download link or something along those lines by October 8th since those won't require nearly as much work as the rest. (If you could, include a title or song title (whichever or both is fine) along with your video, that would be great!)

I'm so excited to see how this turns out!!

Thanks for starting the thread, Ash, and for handling this. It sounds fantastic. I'm totally in!

So do we make an art + a message/note to James, and either a music video or a video of ourselves to him, right?

[SarMil23]

I'm totally in! This is such a brilliant idea!

[Poupa]

Are you gonna make a list of who's participating, Rosey?

[Liam=Hot&Bad]

You can do whatever you want. The more the merrier! I would like this to be pretty big, so if you can do all of it, that's great! If you (or someone) only wants to do a letter, or only a video of themselves to him, that's perfectly fine too!

[True-Lover]

Thanks for the awesome idea and starting the thread, Ash. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T-!

I'm totally in!

[Liam=Hot&Bad]

Seeing as I have no clue how to make arts/graphics or videos, what could I do instead Ash?

[PoeticRose23]

I'll add you when I get on my laptop, Roshel!

Kelly, you can write a letter and put your favorite picture with it.. Or um... I'll keep thinking about something else too.

[Liam=Hot&Bad]

Like an appreciation letter? OK cool, thanks hun

[PoeticRose23]

Yea! That works! You can put whatever you want in it! (within reason though... Haha!)

[Liam=Hot&Bad]

Awesome! (of course, within reason )

Don't try and be too guttery, BB.
