Hey there!!

Don't worry about it!! I've waiting a long time for some of my successes!! The longest i've waiting was about a year for my Rupert Grint autograph. This hobby is all about paitence and i know its hard to see people get successes before yourself, but trust me, you will get more back!! I have SO many sent out and i've had a dry spell for some periods as well, but it's all part of the hobby, sometimes you'll get a lot and sometimes you'll have to wait longer!! It all depends on how often the celebrity catches up on their fanmail!!!

Don't worry!! You'll get more!! :D

I wouldnt worry, Im sure you'll get some back, it just takes time. for me January has been real slow, Ive just received 3 successes all month.

I just did a search on him and there hasnt been a reported success on him since June. he may be filming something on location, or he may have just gotten behind

I know how you feel, I've been hoping to hear back from Ariel Gade for ages - usually responses from her seem to come within the month, but it's been nine weeks. (I'm also waiting to hear back from Daveigh Chase, and I sent those letters on the same day, but I don't know anyone who's had success from her, so I'm not holding my breath.)

You should absolutely not worry!

I sent out 5 letters some days before you and I have gotten one reply.

It takes time, I'm sure you will get a lot more replies if you just wait! :D

Good Luck!

I agree... it takes time...

January was kind of slow for me too (besides the SFM that is)

Don't worry, it just takes a little while and ALOT of patience! I sent out for I think (I'm estimating here) about 3 months with out getting ANYTHING back. Just RTS. Not even any SFM. Even since then I've been collecting for 8 months and I've only gotten back about 27 responses!

Just be patient and keep sending out requests, because the faster you get them out there the faster you'll hear back!
