Which would be the best adress to send an autogpraph request to, Via Venue or Agency?? I know that the person I want to send to is filming now so should I send via venue or just go with the agency? Thanks!

Hi shnapple :D

It's up to you really, as there are advantages / disadvantages sending your request to either place.

If you write VV, there's a chance it may come back quicker and that you may receive an authentic autograph (especially from those who don't normally sign at all). The disadvantage is that many VV requests just seem to 'disappear' never to be seen again, as these are only temporary addresses with no particular protocol as to how fan mail should be handled. Requests can get lost in transit somewhere ...

Writing to the agency gives you more security as to your request reaching the person in question considering it is a more permanent, especially if there have been reported succeses from them in the past. However, if he/she is filming at the moment and/or has a lot of fan mail waiting for him/her, you may have to wait a bit longer. Also, some celebrities don't reply to fan mail or there's a chance you may only get a non-authentic autograph.

Again, it's up to you to decide where to send your request.

Good luck!

It depends:
For example: There is people like Cate Blanchett who is fantastic signed VV.
And another people who is better to get the auto via agency ;)

you could always try both as one of them could work depending on who you are writing to.
