You Know you love the Manics when...

Okay, we'll go first

You know you love the Manics when you insist on making drawings of them and only them (and whatever objects they might need to complete the picture) even though you're pretty sure you suck at it... You launch a website for your sucky drawings of the Manics... And the passing of time fails to convˇnce you it'd be better to give up. Instead you go and pay for hosting for your website (which you thought was against your religion) and come back for the nth time -even though you feel sort of beaten up by the Manics themselves after a decade- with more drawings. "But they're better now" it's all you manage to claim as your excuse.

All of the above is what we did. Which must read like we love the Manics. Remember "us"? It's A+V, Third World, aka The Fans They Couldn't Kill. Hello everyone. People we knew before and people we don't know yet...

That's the news. That we've updated Manikeen again. We just wanted to make it official here on FD the way we always did. There's a preview of our current project online now. It's gonna be something big. And we want you all to come and have a look. We're share the credit for it with everyone that wants a part of it! We don't want anything for ourselves but to see it become a reality. And what we need to keep doing it is your support. Cause we feel exhausted and spiritually -well, not our highest. And the kind of warmth you've given us in the past -since 2002- we need it now.

Okay. You're tough, you have doubts. If you come and check the preview... in afew weeks you´ll get this also


And this


And over twenty pages more...

It's a manga story and... Well, we can tell you more later if you're interested.

Follow the link in our siggie.

Thanks!!! And I shouldn't be here at this hour... But just wanted to say click on the butterfly to go directly to the manga that's the really new stuff, people. The old stuff looks different now too but... We still have to make a few adjustments to the site. We want everything to look perfect when we upload Chapter 1. We're stupidly obsessive.

Okay. Been out for a couple of hours... Shaking with nervousness... Now we're shaking with joy.

Awww *hug big hugs* Hey you! See you don't give up either. Makes us super happy. We never forget about you, you know? Still in our minds you are 18. How can your stats say "25"?!?

The original layout was conceived by V's sister -who's a graphic designer. Seven years ago we handed her several pages of what we thought the site was about and a floppy disk with like 30 awful looking drawings... She did a great job. After that, it's been just us ruining it all.

*point upwards* The person that pretty much caught us creeping out of the grave and lent a helping hand. Thanks.

Hi. Every link we expect to be followed. Glad you noticed that one. "I killed this site guys". That's how twisted our sense of humour has become since the Manics. We can laugh now. And we laughed when we made that drawing -or the first sketch- but it hurt then and now -it doesn't. *Ouch*

Thanks so much to everybody that visited today.
