Hi, newbie with some questions :)

[TheDreamer]

Hi, I'm new and I'm planning to write to this relatively unknown actor (I've seen everything I could find with him in it, he's so brilliant {love} ) and I just had some basic questions...

1. I don't live in the US, but I managed to get 90 cent stamps from the US (for the SASE). I'm using the biggest envelope I could find , one of those A4-sized enveloped (the size of a normal sheet of paper). The question is, would one 90 cent stamp be enough to get it back to Sweden, where I live? Or do I need to put 2 stamps?

2. I can't really decide on which picture to send, so I thought I'd send a few... maybe 3? Or 4... Or 5? What are your thoughts on this? Am I decreasing my chances of getting anything signed? Is it rude (or weird) to send that many pics?

Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it. ^___^

1. At least 2 stamps. But if you send a lot of photos, you will need more stamps. In the US the cost depends on weight.

2. I usually send 1 or 2 photos, but people on this site have sent a lot. It is up to you. It might be weird for an "unknown" to receive so many photos, but I don't thinks it's rude.

Hope this was helpful. If you have more questions feel free to ask!

Good luck with your letter.

Hello TheDreamer!

Welcome to Fanmail.biz! I'm sure you'll love it here! {thumb2}

To answer your questions:

1. I don't live in the US, but I managed to get 90 cent stamps from the US (for the SASE). I'm using the biggest envelope I could find, one of those A4-sized enveloped (the size of a normal sheet of paper). The question is, would one 90 cent stamp be enough to get it back to Sweden, where I live? Or do I need to put 2 stamps?

Unfortunately one 90c stamp wouldn't be enough on a A4 sized envelope from the US to Sweden. I suggest adding one more 90c stamp and to be on the safe side, another 10c stamp mabey. Then it would add up to $1.90 postage - that's the amount I use on my SASE's (I live in South Africa). It works perfectly and I never got a RTS!

2. I can't really decide on which picture to send, so I thought I'd send a few... maybe 3? Or 4... Or 5? What are your thoughts on this? Am I decreasing my chances of getting anything signed? Is it rude (or weird) to send that many pics?

I've seen people sending as many as 8 photos to some very busy actors... and he signed them all! So I think if the actor is a bit unknown, he probably wouldn't mind signing all of your photos! {thumb2} Even if he can't sign them all, he will probably send them back to you so you won't lose them! Also, I don't think it's rude to send anything under 5 photos, but 8... So you may send more than one photo! :razz:

If you have any more questiona, please feel free to ask!

Good luck,
Lizanne

Hi TheDreamer!

Welcome on the board! {thumb2}

1. I don't think I'll help you beceuse I usually use A5 envelopes as SASE's and for them I need just one stamp (when sending to States), but I think that for A4 envelope you'll need at leats two 90p stamps.

2. That's exactly the same thing I wondered when I was new in this hobby I think if the person you're writing is pretty unknown, there's a chance he/she will sign all your photos no matter how many you send them (well, not exactly, I mean, more than 6 photos is too much in my opinion), but even some quite famous celebrities sign quite a lot photos per person! I usually send out 2 - 4 photos, but in one case I sent 6 photos . If I know the person won't sign more photos than one for me (it's known for instance for Dame Maggie Smith), I just send one photo, but in other cases, as I already said, two to four photos.

I hope I was some help for you!

1. It may be enough, it just depends on how much you send. You may want to put 2 just to be safe, though.

2. I normally send 1-2 pictures. I've seen many other people send like, 5 photos, but I always think of the celebrity and how many they have to sign. I wouldn't send a ton. maybe 3-4 max?

Thank you so much for your replies.

I'll send two 90 cent stamps, and the photos... I haven't decided yet. It's so hard to choose, IMO there's no good "official" photos of him so I screenshotted some of his scenes, and I'll use those screenshots as photos. But since I love all his scenes so much, it's hard deciding which ones not to send... {love}

Ah! I hope I don't get RTS or no reply at all or something. Tomorrow's the day, tomorrow I send the letter! Thinking about it makes me all happy! And in about a week, he'll receive it (hopefully) and he'll (hopefully) read it..! {love}

Lol, this makes me feel sorta crazy for some reason, but in a fun way! I hope he doesn't think I'm a weirdo or something, lol. I just have this admiration for him... {love}
