Yes, I usually print photos on a photo paper. It costs a little bit more, but It looks much better than on a normal paper.

Hi :)

What to write?
In the first paragraph, tell them what you like about them, about the program they are in, what storyline you enjoyed, what makes them different, what films they did well in and that kind of thing. In the second paragraph, request a signed autograph and mention what you have included in the envelope e.g. photo, ssae. In the third paragraph conclude the letter. Perhaps say 'Keep up the great work and best wishes for the future.

Photo paper?
Pprint a photo off normally but onto glossy paper that you can buy in stationary stores. Its better quality as it looks more like a photograph.

Feel free to ask any more questions,
Good luck {up}

hi Twilightfreak,

There is no a fixed way of writing fanmail. You can write whatever you want to say to the celebrity. Normally you'll introduce yourself and what do you like about him/her. Then ask politely in the letter for autograph. Dont' write your letter too long, as most celebrities won't read it themselves. Even if they do, a long letter will only increase their workload. So make it short and simple will be good enough.

For the photos, I normally print them outside. But there are meny members here printing theirs at home, mostly using photo paper. And it seems to be nicer to me too. :D

I dont tend to tell them about myself. I just say my name and my age.

You could say what your favourtite type of music is, about where you live, about your school, what your studying, your favourite film, food, drink. The list is endless. {thumb2}

I have decided to write more personal letters, recently.
This is my new technique.

1. I go on Notepad and make a list of everything I could possibly include in the letter.
2. I write one paragraph for each on a different Notepad.
3. I then re-order them so it looks right.
4. Then I find a way to link one paragraph to the next.
5. Then I paste this onto Microsoft Word then hit print.

Tell him how big of a fan you are, and how much you love his acting! And his looks, if you like those too. ;-)

And yes, it is recommended you either;

a) Print on photo paper

or b) Go to Walmart or something and print out the photos there!

I normally just stated where I'm from, and why I like him/her.

You lie to people and write to celebrities you're not fans of?
