Hi, everyone! This is my first post and as you see, I'm new and I have some questions to ask. I know that everyone asks this, but understand me

So, I want to ask something about this SASE and IRC. I'm from Bulgaria (in case you don't know where it is, it's next to Greece) and have to use IRC, haven't I? SASE is used from people, who send their letters in their countries. And these, who send their letters abroad, have to use an IRC. Am I right?
And I have one request. Would you please scan an envelope, post it and write which size it is. I think that the best is 9x12, isn't it.
Thank you in advance!

hey Jack Sparrow's Sweety,
Welcome to the forum, I hope you like it here! you have the right idea. SASE's are used within the country you reside, and IRC's are used to request autographs from other countries. 9x12s are the envelopes I always use. Please dont hesitate to ask any other questions.
goodluck with your requests

Thanks, it helps a lot. You said that I can ask more questions. Well, I have some. What I have to write on the letter-my adress and the recipient's adress or something different. And I have to put inside my envelope this IRC and my letter with a picture (if I want to put a picture), haven't I? And what I am supposed to do if I can't find IRC? What should I do? Thanks again!!!

Hi!
Welcome to Fanmail!
You are right

Yes, you write the celebs and your own address on the envelope. And you also put the IRC and picture in the envelope. You should also include a self addressed envelope. You should be able to find IRC's at your post office.

Thanks, it really helped

Now, I want to ask you something about the letter. What am I supposed to write? I know that there is topic about this question (I've already read it

) but I'll be very happy if you tell me what to write and don't write. I'll be pleased if some of you write what they think about this.

write- why you are a fan of them
- a few projects (movies/tv shows/ music) that theyve done that you
enjoyed.
- your name, and age
- include your address at the end, and politely ask for an autograph
Do not write-
- that you are there biggest or #1 fan
- do not over exaggerate how attractive the celeb is
- too much information about yourself, the celeb is probably busy and
doesnt have time to read all of that.
goodluck

hope you get some nice successes soon !

Now, I'm writing a letter to Johnny Depp. When I am ready with it I'll post it and you it would be great if you tell me if it is good or bad. (Still, this is my first letter

) But before I post the letter, I would like to ask you what does this reputation mean and how can I have a reputation. Thanks!!

Reputation is like a points system. You can either take away reputation

or you can give reputation

You get reputation for being helpful, getting a nice success and posting it the right way, being polite, ect. You would take away reputation if you're being rude, ect.
