Hello everyone. I am Ophélie. I am 15 years old (16 on the 2nd of June) and I live in Belgium.
I have just started collecting autographs. And I would really like it if my first one was from Sophia Bush, I absolutely love her.

Does anyone know if her one tree hill address is still up to date?
And do I just have to send a brown envelope with an another brown sase in it with irc's and of course my letter and pictures?

Hiya Ophélie! (Lovely name)

Welcome to Fanmal.biz! :mrgreen:

Belgium is a really beautiful country, I went in November.

Firstly, I am afraid I don't really know about Sophia Bush - but there hasn't been a reported success for her since 2007, so I would perhaps try another of the addresses listed. {up}

Yes, that's what you need: your letter of request, pictures (optional) and an SASE or SAE with IRCs. All of this goes inside your main envelope, addressed to Sophia.

You might find some of these topics helpful:

If there is anything you need help with please feel free to PM me.

Best of luck to you with your collection! :)

Phoebe :D

Hey Phoebe,
thank you for replying!
Haha, you think so? Well thank you :)
What cities did you visit?

The admin said the one tree hill address is still up to date so ..
I'll have to send an SAE since I live overseas.
Does the envelope I send has to be bigger or smaller than the SAE? And what size of envelopes should I use? And what size of pictures?
I'm sorry for all the questions but as I said I'm new at this..

Hi again Ophélie,

That's fine! :)
In Belgium I visited Ypres, Poperinge and lots of other places in the area.

Ok, so if that address is up to date, then you can send your request there. it doesn't really matter what size your envelope or SAE are - if your SAE is bigger than your main envelope you can fold it to fit. It doesn't matter what size your pictures are either, but they must be able to fit inside your SAE so that they can be returned without being folded and they should fit into you main envelope too. :)

Feel free to ask any more questions you have! {thumb2}

Phoebe :D


P.S: Your English is amazing! :mrgreen:

You weren't that far from where I live then :) Where do you live?
Thanks a lot, my head was filled with questions :razz:
I'm writing my letter for Sophia right now.

How long have you been collecting autographs? And do you have a lot of autographs?

I think I'll be fine for now..

Haha, thanks a lot :) That's great to hear from someone who actually speaks English! :D
I love speaking English, I'm good at it in school too (not to brag or something :razz: )

Oh wow, well it's a great place to be! I live in South-West England.

I collected my first autograph many years ago, and then one in sent some letters throughout 2008. I properly started collecting in around September 2008 though. I have built up a collection I'm pleased with, though there are many, many more I would really like though. I never really know what to say when people ask me how many autographs I have - as when freinds look at my collection the first thing they do is count them up and I never count preprints/autopens/secretariels etc as part of my collection (though I do keep them) - only authentics. And I have a couple of cast signed items which some friends count as 1, as it was from 1 success, and others count it as 23 as it has 23 signatures on it.

:lol: Don't worry, I know I'd want to tell everyone if I was that adept at speaking a foreign language!

Good luck with your collection! {thumb2}

Hey Jen and Honey. Thank you both for welcoming me here.
I'll send my Sophia Bush letter tomorrow and then I'll just have to wait.
I really hope she'll respond.
