I want to say first that this is mostly for convo and I'm not upset when I don't get anything. It's part of the fun and excitement of collecting TTM.

Last month I was gettling it seemed like 2-3 a week easy. I think since March 1st I've sent out over 150. Well the last I believe 3 weeks almost, or say since May 1st I've got 2 back. When I was getting 2-3 a week going home and checking the mail was exciting, now i'm expecting nothing :-(

Come on Jim and Pam from the Office. Be in my mailbox today! Or Michael C. Hall. I'll be happy either way lol

I reckon part of this dry spell has something to do with easter too.

I've been getting 1-2 a week for a little while now. Nothing special.

Yes, I believe it is seasonal. Around the end of December until early in January I usually have a long dry spell. People are more involved with their family around the holidays and don't have as much time to sign. They make up for it in January and February.

Makes me wonder if there is such a thing as a 'dry season' in this kind of hobby... I know you can only generalise, as every celebrity will of course respond to requests if they so choose, within their own time and around their other commitments, but I was wondering whether anyone has noticed any 'seasonality' to their requests? Do you get a higher number of responses in the winter months, for example?

that feeling that I had today would be my day? That must've just been the Taco Bell I had yesterday :-(

I haven't had a success since late March. I have currently 11 outstanding requests and I've already written off 8 of those. I really have to send some more stuff out in the next few weeks.

hell ya mine is 1 month 4 days now.. although ive gotten 8 fan packs in the last 2 weeks so i guess it isnt that bad

I've been on a dry spell since about mid-April now, although I've only got about 5 requests sent out at the moment. I hope to send out about 10 more soon, when admin confirm the addresses. I'm really waiting on Mark Gatiss currently, but I only sent his request off around a week ago, and according to the feedback, he takes a couple of months to reply.

I hate dry spells, but I guess that can make it all that bit more exciting when you finally get a success?

^ True. It's also all part of this hobby. The waiting, the dry spells. But it can just be very frustrating when you've got a lot of requests out :P

I so wish that was true for me :P The more send out the more you get back.
But unfortunately not the case here :( I've got 75 requests out currently and if I'm correct the post has already been (we got 1 thing but I'm not sure if it was brought by the post or by the cityservice). If it is the case that the post has already been it is starting to look like 1 autograph again once this week and that was Tuesday (Twiggy Lawson) :P[/quote]

I have sent out lots and only to people I really want but as you said its the same for me he he but hopefully it will start to come back some successes soon you can only hope.
