Christmas Edition Contest: question replacement

I was having a little bit of trouble with the second question, which was: “Eleven of Kate’s films were based on books (not counting plays). List below the names of the novels and authors as well as the films they were based on.”
So, I decided to replace the above question with: “How many times does Kate sing (not just play the piano) in Sense And Sensibility?”

Anyway, the contest will run through December 15. So send in your answers as soon as possible (don’t forget to include your name, country and e-mail address).

Winner will get:
– 1 Finding Neverland DVD widescreen edition (region 1)
– 1 Dark Season DVD fullscreen edition (region 2)

Winner will be announced on December 16.

Clues: You can find all answers to the questions by browsing through the entire site. ;)

Kate’s Meeting Project: Accomplished

Many of you might remember our little project earlier this year that fan Janna, who also does awesome drawings of Kate, would try and give out to Kate a collage that fans over here at KWF helped get made:

Well, if you don’t remember, you can read all about it here and here.

Anyway, this is what happened, in Janna’s own words…

Well, I finally got it to Kate last night at the Britannia Awards after the show. Just wanted you to know and you can tell everyone and remind them.

After the show she was leaving the ballroom. My friends and I were waiting for her in the hotel lobby at the Century Plaza. My friends all got photos with her and I didn’t want to bother her for that, it was late and I already had one from before. So the only photo I have of her from the event is one with my friend Emily. Anyway, I gave her the second drawing I did. Just kind of haphazardly handed it to her in the middle of her taking photos with people. She paused and stared at it. She was very surprised. Bill Nighy was with her. She showed it to him and she said thank you. Then I gave her the envelope that had the collage in it. She didn’t open it right then ’cause she was leaving, but she said thank you for that as well. It was all very rushed. But I can tell you she has it, it has an index card inside crediting you personally and the website so she knows who created it for her.

All in all I was kind of in shock talking with her again and probably didn’t get all the things out that I wanted to say, but I’m happy she has her gifts!

What to say about this? Just WOW! Now we all can be sure that Kate knows we exist!!! Thank you so much, Janna! :D

Also, Janna has been lucky enough to having been able to meet Kate more than once. Click here to read her story. :)

Birthday Project: Part II

Status: Closed

Our very first Birthday Project to Kate was a success! People from all over the world participated and contributed with the most creative stuff you could ever imagine.
The messages will be sent as “snail mail”. I’ll gather everything together and put into a CD and send it to Kate’s fanmail address. We have high hopes that she will receive it.

I would like to thank the following people for making it so big and great:
