Fanmail - help?

[andi0317]

Hi,

I've got a problem for years now. I live in Europe in a small country. And there are some celebs (singer, actor, and so on...) who I wanna write to. I can find so many addresses here too where I can ask for an autograph.
But where should I write if I want to be sure that the famous person I want to write to a letter really gets it. You know what I mean. Not her/his assistant, not anybody else, but the celebrity her/himself really gets my letter and maybe (oh, I know, it's just a big dream) answers too.

So what do you think? Where should I write to them? Maybe to the same address where we write to ask for autographs?
Any idea?

I have no idea how these things work. All I know is that some stars don't sign those cards oneself.
But I have no idea what's with the real fan letters.
I'm reall, really thankful for your help!!!

Unfortunately, with the hobby of collecting autographs through the mail there is no 100% guarantee that the signature you obtain is an authentic one from the celebrity. There's also no guarantee that, even if it is authentic, that they read your letter. This is just the nature of the hobby.

The only thing you can do is send to your favorite celebrities and when you receive your photo back signed, start compairing it to other autographs on this site (or others). Once you do that a few times you'll be able to tell if the autograph is authentic or a secretarial.

Best of luck to you!
