Happy Father's Day!
And now finally the Project is over! Thanks to all those who participated. The final count:
432 signatures in the card (more than double the number I was hoping for)
142 Messages for Yuki (I wasn't planning on making a book but so many messages and no room!)
and 4 artists who submitted some of their artwork (excellent drawings and computer art)!
Yuki would like to thank all those who participated. He's sorry that he can't thank you each personally. He will try to contact some of you but won't get to all of you because he's very busy and there are 432 people! :)

Thank you soo much! I had fun working on this. In only 12 days, 432 of you signed up to wish Mr. Yuki Ohno a great Father's Day. I was surprised by the number of responses. I was thinking about how wonderful it would be to have just 200 signatures. I thought that would be near impossible! You all proved me wrong!! TWICE! I met new people and made some new friends! This was great and thanks again for all the support. I'll get pictures up as soon as my computer stops being so stupid...LOL hopefully soon! I appreciate the fans coming together! Thanks to my assistant, Tennille Pitcher, and Chris Hajime Taylor of apoloantonohno.com for getting the project out there! Also, I would like to thank the people who submitted their wonderful fan work and pages! And last, but definitely not least, all the fans who signed their name for the card. It's full! Not a single inch of space left. I wrote Happy Father's Day Yuki and shouldn't have because I needed that space! Oh well, I manage to squeeze everyone in. Don't worry, I'm giving Yuki a complete list of who participated along with the emails and locations some of you provided. As for the contest winners, I have also added your contact information (address and phone number) so that Yuki can respond to your excellent work! The list that will be provided is the same list that you'll find by clicking on LISTS OF CONTRIBUTORS below. That's the final list!
Well thanks again and all my love goes out to you fans who helped make this a success!!
