honestely for me all this idea is somewhat hazy. can you answer the question "what for?". i just always thought that fan-club is to have contact with a band and be up-to-date, but... you're 'closer' to the band here on this forum, aren't you? and you get up-to-date info on anathema.ws.
also, you don't have even clear idea what your fan club is to do. gifts? are you santa claus? also, are you going to take money from people?
i just know how many problems had karin with official fan-club. it really needs some time and dedication. they were publishing anathema magazines and sending newsletters. it was really good, but in the age of internet (imo) fan-clubs are a bit obsolote unless they concern people who don't have access to internet or fc offers really many interesting things (but then, what's your concept?).
actually, i think that this forum is sort of anathema fan-club. you have danny,duncan and sometimes darren and jamie here. you can make an appointment with anyone, let know about party (as people here often do) and anything else.
