Handwritten or typed letters?
I was wondering what The community generally uses, I think handwritten looks more genuine but types looked more professional. What do you think?

Re: Handwritten or typed letters?
Handwritten all the way! Looks a lot more personal and shows that you've put the effort in! I have to admit I sometimes type some letters, usually the ones that I have a lot to say! I have long typed up letters for the main 3 from Harry Potter because I'll use the same letter again and I have a lot to say! But even when I do type the letters I always add photos and decorate them.

I type mine if the person is older or somethin (so they can read it better)

I type but actually sign my name at the bottom.
Re: Handwritten or typed letters?
handwriting I believe is a little more effective. No matter the content it looks less form letter-ish. Plus I think it is faster.

Re: Handwritten or typed letters?
I hand write all of my letters, but always try to make sure the writing is easily readable.
I've had more success from hand writing letters than typing letters.
It's all about personal preference really, as it's the words that really matter!

Re: Handwritten or typed letters?
Handwriting is the thing! More personal, and it shows that you really put effort into it and really like the celeb (and that you're not only after the auto because the celeb is famous, but you really don't care about the person). I sometimes take my time to make neat cards from the neat scrapbook papers one use in scrapbooks. From the ones I've made card to I've got really personal replies!
