Why did they get their reply back before me?

Have you ever wondered why someone else might get a reply back from a celebrity when you sent your request months beforehand? Do you ever feel like your request might have been overlooked? It irritates me when I see someone get a reply after a couple weeks and I sent my request months before theirs...Has this happened to you? What do you think?
Thanks! :D

It happens. For example I wrote to Henry Ian Cusick about 16 months ago, with no reply. But in the mean time others that wrote later gotten there's back already. Maybe it got overlooked, lost or thrown away. You never know. In another few months I might try again. It's weird, but like I said, it happens.

Yeah. I sent to Christian Bale in August, September and October, getting nothing back, while everyone here had a success from him during October-December. I've sent my fourth request a few days ago so I hope I will be lucky this time.

I'm thinking Christian Bale may not send to foreign addresses as I sent mine in early November and still nothing.

I believe I've seen non-US successes. But I may be wrong.

It's happened to me. Sometimes the celeb may put the letters in a pile and work top down, or bottom up. Maybe they only get around to a few at a time.

It does get frustrating, but that's all part of the hobby!

Yeah I get a little annoyed when I see loads of people getting successes from someone I have wrote to and then I never get anything. That has happened quite a few times.
If it comes eventually though then that doesn't bother me, it's just if nothing comes ever.

I've had this happen to me lots of times. But I never get mad. I know their busy and when they get around to answering it, cool! For example, I sent to Freddie Highmore last year, haven't heard a reply back yet. But I'm hoping it's just sitting in his pile of fanmail somewhere waiting to be answered. :D
