June 14, 2009, 3:30 PM–After months of steady work, we are delighted to introduce you to our brand new interactive online fanzine called Grintastic! While Ice Cream Man focuses on the talents of our favourite actor Rupert Grint, Grintastic was created to focus on the many talents of his dedicated fanbase. Thus, many thanks to all of you who contributed your fanfics, fanart, essays, opinions, reviews, recollections and other fun stuff for the first issue of Grintastic. As for the rest of fans, if you would like to see your own work featured in the next issue, just send your material to grintasticonline@googlemail.com and we’ll be happy to review it and, hopefully, publish it in the next issue! Also, feel free to comment on the articles in the first edition: we welcome all comments and criticism. Help us make Grintastic the funkiest fanzine ever — Rupert and his fans surely deserve that!

NOTE: We have a special podcast coming up in a few hours, so stay tuned for more ICM goodies!

  1. Whoa hard to believe this thing is launched. We’ve been trying to get it finished how long now? A year almost? Brilliant work everybody!!

  2. Actually more than a year, lol we’re slow!
    ^^^^ Scratch that: we’re busy! ;)
    Anyway, yeah, wow!

  3. Well you have all been busy little bees. Do you all ever sleep? lol

  4. No. *yawn*

  5. Ah, got so caught up in the race, I didn’t pay attention to the Grintastic launch. :) Gosh, it’s a think of beauty, isn’t it?

  6. I’m still editing a few things here and there, but it’s almost perfect! I’ve just enabled comments, so they should appear automatically now, we don’t have to approve them manually.

  7. It looks…well, FANTASTIC! LOL! Great job, you guys! I can’t wait to dive in and have a good, long look around!

  8. YEah! Finally!! Congratulations for the hard job!! The result is amazing :)

  9. Congratulations Ladies. It looks … well, Grintastic! :)

  10. Wowwwwww!!! It looks fantastic! Congratulations, girls!
    Now we’ll have a lot of things to read all the month!
    Just in the first look, I have to tell that I loved Super Grint! :D
    I’d love to be around Rupert to see his face when he finds out about the fanzine!

  11. indeed, girls, that is amazing!
    you’re doing so much for us! thank you!

  12. OMG it s fantastic . You all did a great job .

  13. How fucking awesome does THAT look?!!

  14. ^^^^ Focking Laura, focking! :D

  15. The only thing that’s not working properly at the moment is the pagination on the homepage (at least it doesn’t work in Firefox). I can access all articles via main navigation and categories (there’s 26 of them in total) but when I click on the second and third page, it redirects me to the first page. Does anyone else have the same problem?
    *off to check the settings*

  16. EDIT: I hope all articles can be accessed from the homepage now! Let me know if some of them are still “hidden”.

  17. This looks absolutely amazing, good work as always girls! I’ve just read one of sam’s artiocles and now I’m reading the ICM behind the scenes article by karo – very very cool, I’m enjoying this a lot. I adore how you’re always coming up with new ideas and surprises for us *hugs ICM staff*

  18. I can’t wait for the podcast either!

  19. Congrats on this launch! Yall always work so hard, and we fans appreciate it! Can’t wait for the podcast. Yall are like the ICM energizer bunnies, you keep going and going and going…. :)

  20. How can we put our icon in the comments?

  21. Lilly I think you have to sign up for a Gravatar. Go to gravatar.com and sign up there with the email address you use for posting comments, and upload an icon there. :)

  22. How focking awesome \o/ \o/ \o/ hahahaha xD I love ICM’S dedication to the fans \o/ And please,keep not sleeping girls! LOL

  23. I loved the look of it \o/ :D So punky! Awesome! :)

  24. Ivana not so sure, hadn’t checked but I will let you know if it is an issue for me. Also sending something your way! :)

  25. I’ve been over here checking out Grintastic (I will get stuff for the next issue. Promise!) and it’s just fantastic. Just one of the best fanzines ever. And I’m not just saying that ’cause it’s ICM’s… honest. ;)

  26. Good job girls. That’s alot to read, but it was all funny/entertaining/inspiring. And I love the subtitle to my story, whoever came up with that. Poor Colin…

  27. Grintastic? Sounds awsome. Its an amazing thing to do.

  28. Congratulations on the new launch of Grintastic, ladies! It’s brilliant!

    OT- I can’t remember if y’all have already mentioned this or not, but EmpireOnline has mentioned the campaign. Only I can’t access their site! It must be down, or something. Here’s where I found it:
