Calling fans...
The fan club is a nonprofit club that was started for fans since many of them were upset that they lived in areas where they couldn't get the same freebies as those who attended signings and events with Sherri. As fan club members, Minions receive publicity material for that year which may include: bookmarks, postcards, pins, buttons, etc. In addition, fan club members get special discounts for the Mighty Barnacle store and for K-Con. They also get some exclusive fan club materials such as the black fan club envelope, the Fan club holiday cards and some of the items that are sold in the store are sent free to fan club members.
The club runs Jan-Jan and regardless of when you join you will receive that entire year's worth of fan club materials. Such as if you join in December, your packet will include all the mailings that the fan club members received earlier that year and you will have to rejoin in Jan to continue your membership for the following year. Those who renew will get a price break since they won't receive another intro packet. If you join in January, you won't get the entire year's worth of merchandise at once. You will get the initial fan packet and then the other items will be mailed as they come out throughout the year. Likewise if you join in June, you will receive the materials that were sent Jan-June and will receive the rest of the materials as they come out later that same year.
Items and materials vary year to year and many items are retired. The total retail value of the intro mailing alone is $28 (not counting shipping or KCon discount) and factoring in the tidbits... priceless.

Here's is what you get in the intro packet....
In addition to members getting $15 off KCon registration, packets will have:
The Official DH Folder. The front of the folder has Jaden's symbol and Ash's is on the back-- they're high gloss black

Front

back
DH Manga Bracelets

Ash Tattoo (temporary)

BTW, this has a very special significance in his book.
Dark-Hunter Manga Poster

Tour Card (these are cool as all get out. You collect stamps and then trade them in on prizes)

Bite Me Daimon manga poster
YOA pin (white-- these are a limited number and once gone, they're gone)
Jaden button
Stryker/Ash postcard
Letter from Sherri, including a snippet on scenes that didn't make it into the Acheron book.
If you join after the first of the year, your packet will also include ALL items that have been mailed out earlier that same year. So if you join October 2008 you will get not only the intro packet, but also the May mailing, August mailing and Halloween cards as well as any other postcards that might have been mailed out.
