Many questions!!!

Unread post by KnightKobra49 »

Hello, i'm new! I'm a huge fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. I love their works, Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz. I want to sent fan-mail and autograph request for both of them. Plus, they both live in United Kingdom (UK)
1. They both have two addresses, and i'm not sure which one to use.
2. How many International Reply Coupons do i need for two letters each?
3. How long will it take to arrive since i live in Pennsylvania?
4. I want to sent DVD covers (Shaun of the Dead to Simon Pegg, and Hot Fuzz to Nick Frost), and will they sign their autograph?
5. Which one should i use, SAE or SASE?
6. For SAE/SASE, should i use the same size of the envelope as the sent envelope?

That's it. sorry if some questions confused you. lol, but i really want to sent it, and also have an autograph!!!

As i'm in the UK i can't really answer anything in relation to reply coupons, but as for time, you can never predict. Some actors take anything from a couple of weeks to a couple of years to reply, so you can't really estimate at all as it may be based on how oftn they reply to their fanmail - if they reply to their fanmail, if they're on an acting project, etc.

I and a lot of others use C5 size envelopes for both the SASE and the original letter envelope. An SASE and SAE is the same thing i think? SASE = Self Addressed Stamped Envelope, SAE = Stamped Addressed Envelope or thats the rule i've always gone with!

Lots of people send DVD covers, you've just also got to be prepared for them to not nessessarily reply with them or get them back. Although i expect with these two particular actors you are pretty safe, bar getting lost in the mail chances! Worth searching for previous successes on both Nick and Simon and check if either have signed DVD covers before maybe?

Addresswise, see previous successes with them before and see which addresses others have used maybe?
Hmm. Needs a signiture.

Hey ;-)

The address for Nick Frost is:
Nick Frost
C/O Christian Hodell
Hamilton Hodell
66 - 68 Margaret Street
London W1W 8SR
United Kingdom

Simon Pegg is:
SIMON PEGG
c/o Big Talk Productions
26 Nassau Street
London W1W 7AQ
United Kingdom

I found those on their websites.

The only thing I know about IRCs is that they pay for your postage so send a SAE. You can use whichever envelope you like, as long as what you send fits in it. If you're going to use the same size envelope, then it's alright to bend it.
There isn't any exact answer to how long before you get a reply because they wouldn't sit down every day and sign an autograph. It could take longer than a year.
Sending a DVD is your choice, if you don't mind not getting it back, send it, but if you'd prefer to keep it then don't send it.
Favourite successes: Paramore, New Found Glory, Death Cab For Cutie
