[quote="maltachic"]great topic!

i would 100% sign authentically and personalize
and sign whatever

i would prefer they pay for postage
however...if they didn't, i'd have like an 8x10 photo for those who provided postage
and a 5x7 or 4x6 for those who didn't and i'd pay postage[/quote]
I really like your idea about the smaller photos for those who don't send postage. That way you still respond but it doesn't cost a fortune. The way the USPS is going, you can send two normal sized letters for the price of a 8X10 envelope. :shock:

Ok, my final list (maybe :roll: )

I WOULD {clap}
{star} Sign all photos sent to me
{star} sign for people as many times as they sent to me
{star} personalize them, if requested, that also includes personalizing with a quote
{star} pay for postage, as long as i was not FLOODED with mail. that includes people only sending letters
{star} reply via-venue and through my agency
{star} reply to emails sent to me if they seemed like a real fan no "hi here is my addy i want an autograph thanks" emails would be questioned about answering
{star} when i was filming a movie, i would presign a VERY LARGE stack of photos. it would range from presigning 100-700. then, when i got back, i would sign all photos sent to me, and if the person sent me 1-2 photos, include one of my presigned photos. if they included 3+, not send them another photo
{star} have an e-mail addy that my fans could talk to me to.
{star} send the remaining presinged photos to email requests
{star} sign ALOT of items for charity Would sign the photos sent, any memorbelia i had, and around 4 presigned photos. i would really want to help save lives by just writing my name a few times
{star} send out 8X10 photos.
{star} answer questionaires.
I WOULD NOT {nonono}
{star} sign letters if they were less than a paragraph
{star} sign for people if i know they are dealers
{star} sign for people if they send weird/stalkerish letters
{star} STOP SIGNING NO MATTER HOW MANY REQUESTS I GET.
{star} EVER send out PP, AP, LP, SFM, ETC.
{star} be rude to my fans...they made me famous

I WOULD SOMETIMES :?
{star} send to people if they sent stalkerish letters. i would reply to ones that are not scary but if they just know alot about me and like me then, a reply would happenn!

I think Hayley has an excellent idea there :)

As long as the person included the correct postage I would sign as many pictures as they requested. If they didn't pay postage then like some other people have said I would have a smaller picture to send them which only required the use of one stamp. I would answer questionnaires as I really enjoy doing these anyway, as long as they weren't too long or too personal! I think if I got to a really personal question I'd probably just keep the questionnaire and not send it back!
I would take requests via email/my website as long as I could tell they were a true fan, like if they clearly had a wide knowledge of me and my work, but if someone just said "Hey, please could you send me a signed picture?" then I wouldn't! :lol: I would also try my best to read every letter and make a personal comment on the signed picture to show that I did read the letter and appreciate having them as a fan.

I think I would also sign photos and I would not let my secretary sign any photos- maybe just address the envelopes :)

I would read their letter, sign their pictures and personalize.
Also, I would write them a personal message responding the things they say in their letter. I know how much I look forward to getting my responses. I would make sure that their wait is worth it. :) I would answer all their questionnaires, as long as it's not too long and no weird questions lol

I'm famous :) so I would be able to afford the postage. Return their IRCs and pay for the postage
I would respond VV and when I'm away, like missmae said, I would leave a stack of pre signed photos with my secretary to send out. or get him/her to forward it to the place I'm at {up}

and well, really it depends on what I'm famous for, if I can send a additional poster or small merch then I probably would add that too :) my fans would mean so much to me..

And.. IP? I would sign for each and everyone there, smile, talk, personalize {thumb2}

Nice topic lol I was imagining being famous all the way through writing that

Nich

Ok I'm borderline with the postage thing. :?
