What do you do when you don't hear back?

Unread post by Edward L. Norton »

I sent a fan letter and couple of photos to be signed to Aubrey Plaza 3 months ago. I have not received anything back yet. Should I just keep waiting?

I do know that she is currently filming a lot of movies and that I sent the letter to her agent's office. That could have something to do with it.

Is there a cut off though? Like a point when you just have to acknowledge that you will not be receiving anything back?

Some successes take a year or more...

some only a couple weeks.

To avoid disappointment you should do the following:
Mail an item. Say goodbye to it. If it comes back be excited, if it doesn't come back you knew it was a possibility.

I'd say after a year if you are keeping track though to resend it.

I wait a year, the give up on the person. I sometimes send to the person once to their management, then again if they are filming a movie a few weeks or months later I try them VV. I have sent to one person 8 times without a success and I am still trying. For you- 3 months isn't very long. Keep waiting and keep your finger crossed. Happy Collecting!

Some successes take over 1000 days to get back...so u need to just relax, take up a second hobby because this hobby is about "SENDING, WAITING, WAITING MORE (depending on the celeb), and the CELEBRATING" once it finally comes back! So try to be tolerant with the wait. No matter what, the wait will always be there. {up}
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop. Bow Down! #StayMadHaters
