It depends on who I'm writing to. Like Liz, I have pretty stationary but I only use it to write to female celebrities. I think my notecards and stationary would be a bit over the top for male celebs so I use an ordinary (but nice quality) lined notepad {thumb2}

Also, I'm blessed with really nice handwriting. Being left handed, I always struggled with writing at school so I had extra handwriting lessons and they actually taught me to write a lot better than my right handed classmates :lol:

It's been really interesting all your posts, so thanks for replying. {thumb2}

I'm really glad I'm not the only ones who used lined paper as a guide only - I thought maybe I was the only one. :D

I've never really thought about using coloured paper, but I would probably get through a lot of it, as I tend to make a lot of mistakes when I finally write my letter. It has to be perfect before I send it. ;-)

And I have always handwritten my letters. It's just the natural thing for me to do.

I have to use plain paper. :)
I can't write straight either... but I guess it's just part of ME that would make the letter a little more personal. :D

I either use lined paper or plain paper that has a piece of lined paper under it so my writing stays straight. I almost always do a little doodle on one side of the page in a margin or across the bottom.

I just use plain white paper - I only used color once and had a note written on it that my letter was returned because the celeb didn't like the color - it was a light peach or yellow. I have it somewhere.

I only hand write my letters.

I use [b][color=#FF4040]lined A4[/color][/b] paper. {thumb2} When I write on regular paper, two bad things happen;

[color=#FF4040][b]1)[/b][/color] My handwriting starts small and neat, then it gets big and sloppy, goes back to small and neat, and so on. It looks rather odd.

[color=#FF4040][b]2)[/b][/color] My handwriting will slant down and become crooked and stuff, and every line it slants more, and it looks [color=#FF4040][b]really[/b][/color] bad.

I just have a notebook where I write out my [color=#FF4040][b]requests[/b][/color] and [color=#FF4040][b]Q&As[/b][/color]. Then I'll rip out the paper neatly, and it looks fine. It's very light blue lines too, so I can see but it's not extremely noticeable, but it's not different sizes and my handwriting doesn't slant and become all uneven.

Oh, and I use one of those colorful Sharpie pens to write, too, usually [b][color=#FF0040]hot pink[/color][/b] if I'm writing to a female and [color=#0000FF][b]blue[/b][/color] if I'm writing to a male. :mrgreen:

When I first started I used lined paper a lot more than I do now. Nowadays I use "plain" paper / stationary. I think it just adds to the letter to have some type of design or colour on it! Plus, I love colour so I wouldn't do without! :lol: I usually don't put a lined sheet of paper underneath either. My writing doesn't stay completely straight, but it's decent enough and I don't think the actor/actress I'm sending to will mind! :)

[quote="cb1892"]Do you all write your requests then?

I use plain paper but I typre my letters. I think I might start to write them to save on ink and to make them that bit more personal.[/quote]

Yes I always handwrite my letters. It does make it a lot more personal, the celebrity can see that you're writing the letter just for them and you haven't got a pre-typed letter which you send to everyone, just changing a few details to make it appropriate. It also shows them that you've taken the time to do that for them, so they would probably appreciate it more.

I always use plain. I used to write with guidelines underneath, but I don't need them anymore :mrgreen:

I handwrite all mine. {thumb2} Used to type, but found out I got a better return rate from handwritten. [ugotmail]

I always use lined paper, but I use different sizes of paper. I use whichever note pad is closest to me at the time, so either a4 or a5.
