The Deborah Gibson International Fan club (D.G.I.F.) is the only official fan
club for Deborah Gibson fans, managed by Deborah's family. D.G.I.F. has been
in operation since 1987. At first they sent out one-page photocopied
newsletters. In early 1988 they started printed quarterly magazines on glossy
paper. These magazines were approximately 20 pages long and contained
full-page pictures, exclusive candid pictures, questions & answers, "When I
Met Deborah" stories and pen pal listings. Most issues contained a message
from Deborah, usually one or two pages in length. Between January 1995 and
1999 they alternated similar 16-page full-color magazines with shorter black &
white newsletters. For a while there were four issues each year, but in later
years the rate had gone down substantially, and membership was then recorded
in terms of batches of four issues, not in calendar years. In July 1999,
D.G.I.F. announced they had stopped sending out magazines and newsletters
altogether. The official fan club now only exists as nothing more than the
DGIF Online area on the Official website.
