Spring 2009                                              Being Banatic is not just fandom it's a state of mind!
Yeah you can definitely trust your eyes it is us - no April Joke History: Two years ago we decided to revive the newsletter Xycolsen and Jewels started way back in time and we did quite well during the first year. When 2008 came and we managed to launch a great 'The other Boleyn girl' newsletter which did cost us a lot of work Perhaps it happened to be that large because fate decided it was the first and only one in 2008? Who knows. And you know the truth - we did not sent a second. Well we did a little research for another one but anytime we were caught by our working life and one or two were always so busy that it was impossiple to get a second one on its way. We are really sorry for everyone of you who did subscribe and wait in vain for news but sometimes things do not work out like they are planned. So sorry To cut a long story short here we are again. Please do not mind our mistakes, we hope you understand what we wanted to say. English is not too easy above all when you want to make it 'perfect'. As usual some of you will not read much news in here, the ones that are busy in certain threads on EBCF. They are worth their own weight in gold being a great source for us - thank you girls But now let's start: Some of you may know ericlover who did became a member of EBCF in August 2008. You may also know that she is owning a livejournal where you can find tons of Eric pictures, articles and more about our eye candy. She did us the honour to answer our nosey questions. I first came upon Eric when I watched The Hulk. I had seen it in the theatre but for some reason I was not impressed. Then my sister recommended Munich and said the guy in the movie was fantastic. So I bought it but took a year to watch, then I did and I was hooked. The Other Boylen Girl sealed it for me and now I am in love with the man! I think what makes him facinating is that he is an amazing actor who just captavates you. You are left wanting more. I like that he is an average guy who loves average things. he seems approachable. And well he is the sexiest man on the planet! It is funny enough called "BrandonFan" because I am a fan of Brandon Routh as well. But Eric just stole my heart:) All bout Eric, I do still have things about Brandon Routh, Madonna, and sometimes Duran Duran. Just things I love! That is about the things I like and enjoy. It is a fun page!  Anyone who Loves the Bana! I did the board mainly for me, the fact people found it and enjoyed it is a bonus:) I guess as long as people enjoy seeing Pics of Eric they will like the page. I try to put on there things that I would want to see;) I guess people would say that the pics are the best feature. I try to give as much inforamtion as possible, and find rare stuff that people hadn't posted yet! I hope to be around for a while:) As long as Eric is around I hope to be as well:) I just want to thank those who have showed an interest in my board. What was once just something that brought enjoyment for me as been for others and I am happy about it.I hope to continue to bring enjoyment for a long time. Brandonfan We hope you will be around for more than a while. It was fun to read your answers! Thank you for taking time to answer them. So ladies, go and have a wee look what she can show you. This might have been the last Q&A for a while now. We did ask everyone who has something like a blog, hompepage or forum about Eric, at least everyone we know. Some did answer and you could enjoy their stories some never replied -shrugs- Well they missed the chance to get famous in our little community If you would love to volunteer contact us!   Here they are.
