I feel good and I like to think that the person I am writing to will enjoy my letter and maybe like that I took the time to write some nice words. :mrgreen:

I love writing letters to my favourite actors/actresses/singers and tell them why I like them and so on! :mrgreen:

PS: What is 'engoy'?! My native language is not English so I may do not know it? :roll: :razz:

Atomic Ant, your success rate is very impressive! {thumb2} I prefer to think that many of my outstanding requests are on their way. "Time will tell."

When I was younger--I'm 32 now--I had no interest in celebs. Sure I had my fav actors/ actresses, but that only influenced my selection at the video store. I wasn't really that impressed with anyone; Mum says I was like Darlene off RoseAnn. :lol:

How I came into collecting something besides material goods (like stationary or shoes) is that I developed an Orlando Bloom fetish. :oops: I just had to have his autograph TTM even though I had read that the only way to get an authentic is to catch him IP. Well, I got it (the PP) in May, and i've been bitten by the autograph bug ever since. It just killed me to have to seperate my first success away from authentics & stick it in a binder of mere "pictures" (PP's, AP's). {{{Sigh}}}

Back to the original topic, sometimes I think that I've sold out when I send an email for a picture/ autograph of someone who I'm not very interested in. It makes me feel cheap and kind of dirty. lol! I know that's weird. :roll: I don't do it anymore... with the exception that recently I've requested some more SFM when I was in a compulsive mood.

Talking about age, I never got into, this autograph thing until I was 43, thats only 2 years ago
So that, makes me seriously old then :D {thumb2} :lol:

I'm happy, that I waited so long, because unlike the youngsters today, I was a bit slow in my teens. And now I find that I take in things a lot easier.

I think I've recieved, about 60-70 replys, from 01/04/07. Not bad. {wow}

Most months have been, 2-3 success in one week, then nothing for 1-2 weeks, then 2-3 agian. But I think this is pretty good {thumb2}

Success rate: 78% {up} {up}
Pretty good?!? That's REAL good! ;) Wish that I was getting replies as fast as that! On another point, I find that the older you get, the better you are in articulating yourself in your letter. I come across far more eloquently and to the point in my letters now then say, 10 years ago when I was relatively tiny (and that's probably why I never recieved anything back ten years ago ;))

sometimes when I wait for a response I think that I'm too old to be writing fan letters and collecting autographs TTM. I realize that there are some serious autograph collectors who are probably as old or older than I am, but I'm just getting started in this hobby. I needed something exciting but not dangerous that's not THAT expensive, and I luv to write letters so 1+1=2.
you're never too old to collect ;) I missed out on this whole thing when I was like 10 or 16 years old, and so on - only got really into it now as I've reached adulthood and its a real fun hobby despite what people say. Most ask me 'yeah, but what do you do with the autographs when you get them? Whats the point?' fools.

I usually enjoy the process of letter writing when it's to a celeb that I genuinely admire. It often makes me feel good to sincerely compliment someone &/or share how their work has entertained, inspired, or provoked thoughts in me.

I enjoy the selecting of paper, stamp, and envelope seal in order to create a look that I imagine might appeal to the celeb or at least catch the attention of the mail-lacky: "Pick me up! Read me first!"

As for the waiting for a response, sometimes I get my hopes up after reading other people's feedback. For example, people who have sent to Judge Judy after I have already have received their autographed picture. That makes me feel a little unsettled, more confused/ surprised than anything.

To be perfectly honest, sometimes when I wait for a response I think that I'm too old to be writing fan letters and collecting autographs TTM. I realize that there are some serious autograph collectors who are probably as old or older than I am, but I'm just getting started in this hobby. I needed something exciting but not dangerous that's not THAT expensive, and I luv to write letters so 1+1=2.

I feel pretty good, after writing to someone. And it's even fun, when you see who does and who does'ot reply.

In this hobby, sometimes the least likely celeb, will give you an autograph. {thumb2}

On the other hand, a so-called "GOOD SIGNER" can seem like thay sign for everyone
(and their uncle) but not you :? It's a funny old game.
