Keep the Faith is a story collection I began on Mibba.com when I got sick of all the MCR/Gerard-bashing. I wanted to see if people still believed, and I thought our message would be conveyed the strongest through words, writing.

It was never part of the original plan, but when we heard MCR was coming to the Philippines, where I lived, people asked me if I could print them all out and give it to the band so they can see that there are still true fans out there.

So I organized all the stories (62 total, and counting) per author (there were 26 published ones, from more than 10 countries across the globe) and asked for help with cover pages, banners, and intros. We even had a letters section. Then I printed it out, got it hardbound, and went off to the concert.

I was desperate to find someone to give it to them, then met an organizer who said she can give it to the band directly. It was a miracle, and we all kept hoping they got it and read it and may even reply to it (my contact details were on the last page).

Then someone from Hong Kong, the next stop after the Philippines, held up a KTF banner during a song where there was minimal crowd action and moshing, and she was positive Gerard saw it and exchanged glances with Mikey.

Does this mean they got it?

We're not sure, but we'll keep the faith.

[KTF also partly inspired Project Interlude (an MCR fanzine started on Mibba as well) and the story collection 'The Saints of Mibba.']

We did it.
We did it, guys, we fucking did it.
Me and my friend held the sign up during "My Way Home is Through You". Not many people knew the song, not many people moshing, Gerard stared straight at us the whole fucking time.
He read the sign, and his did this nodding exchanged glances thing with Mikey.
If you think it's some sort of illusion ("omg!!z g3rard wayz l00k!ng at me lawlz!), it's not. Some chick which stood next to us during that song came up to us on the way back, and was all "Gerard and Mikey noticed your sign, you know?"

Fuck yes.
