I haven't gotten any successes in over a month. Any suggestions on what I should send out that will be quick?

Sorry, we don't give out lists of people who reply quickly. Besides, you should be writing to people you like and admire, not so you can get a quick reply.

I agree you should write the people you like, but Henry Winkler, Katherine MacGregor, Mackenzie Crook, Ryan Ochoa, Martin Klebba, Alison Arngrim! I know it took FOREVER befor I got my first one, but you won't be as excited, if you write people you don't know just to get an autograph :?

I know.... but I wasn't going to just send to a random person. You don't have to make me feel bad. :(

I wasn't trying to? I'm 13 so I know EXACTLY how you feel!:) I've only been collecting since 08! I'm actually waiting on 10! You should write people you like, and in the summer and stuff you should be seeing SOME success! I wrote a ton of people b4 Christmas, but I really won't give up till around June! :D

I wasn't trying to be rude. Too many people ask this question is all. Write to people you like, not because they will reply quickly. I'm still waiting on replies from people I sent to in July.

The poster wasn't trying to make you feel bad. To me, that is part of the excitement of this hobby. I love getting a response back after I have pretty much forgotten about it! :) Just be patient. That's an important component in collecting.

I'm 13 (nearly 14) and I just started collecting autographs, too. :)
Write to people that you like and admire, and if you get a success, it will seem worth the wait!
I wrote to Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson when they were really popular and still shooting the Harry Potter movies, and got a success after waiting nearly 9 months. When I opened that envelope, I was so happy and so excited, I didn't care that it took such a long time for them to reply.
So, my advice is: Write to people you like, and wait. Be patient. They're celebrities and have busy lives. Don't expect a success to come the next day.
Good Luck, though! :D

I know I ask this question a lot to members, but did you make sure and include photos and SASE's with each request. Mant celebrity's require that you send these in order to get a reply. Can you post a list of who your waiting to hear back from?? Then I can tell you who is most likely to respond. {up}
