AWESOME THREAD IS AWESOME! i love seeing other people's autographs and reading about why they are special to them. here are some of my favourites. (In no order) 1. Every cast member from Collateral Beauty who attended the London Premiere, including Will Smith, Naomie Harris, Dame Helen Mirren and Edward Norton i got to meet Will Smith and Helen Mirren, 'nuff said, really. i dont do many premieres, but ive had a lot of success with the ones ive been too. Ive been a fan of most of the main cast for a LONG time and i was hoping i'd get just one auto from any of them. i ended up getting everyone who attended the premiere, I even got a photo with Will Smith so i was BUZZING. there were loads of dealers there trying to get autos to sell and they all were moaning how edward norton never signs for people. he did about 3 autos on the way in then all the dealers left. 10 minutes later he comes back out and signs for the 6 or so of us who were still waiting. nice getting one over on the dealers! 2. Another Premiere: X-Men Apocalypse. another where my friend and I were SUPER successful. we got autos from Jennifer Lawrence, James Mcavoy, Oscar Isaac, Evan Peters, Olivia Munn and LOADS of others (although for the 2nd time at a premiere Sophie turner skipped past me. WHY WONT SHE LOVE ME?!?!?!?!?!?!!) we got there quite late but ended up right in front of the interview stage so the guests would come straight to us after being on stage. Jennifer Lawrence is GORGEOUS in person. 3. George A Romero sad to hear about him passing away not too long ago. i met him at LFCC and he was genuinely one of the nicest guests ive ever met. i was expecting him to be, for lack of a better word, a bit of a butthead, but he was SO SO SO nice. he seemed so genuinely excited and happy to be at the con, meeting fans. an absolute gentleman and wonderful person. im lucky enough to have had a friend snap a picture of me shaking his hand as well. I also got this dvd cover signed by Tom Savini at last years LFCC as well. 4. JK Rowling Im a BIG harry potter fan. over the past few years ive been dealing with mental health issues which have greatly affected me. fortunately i am improving slowly, which is good. One of the things that helped me get through a lot of the really bad days was escaping into books. i binge read the HP series repeatedly and i wrote to JK Rowling explaining how much her books had helped me through the bad times and gave me an escape into a world where i didnt have to worry about anything. i recieved this signed postcard back which i thought was a pre print for a while until i realised it had a hologram sticker on the back. a bit of research later and i found that she only puts those stickers on legit autograhps and she only responds to letters which she feels deserves a reply, so this one is very special to me. 5. The Walking Dead cast I am a HUGE walking dead fan, so every guest ive met and every person who ive received a reply from when writing to them through the mail trying to get autographs is VERY special to me. also, Lauren Cohan is a goddess and i love her a little bit. 6. Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead Artist) Ive been lucky enough to meet Charlie Adlard 3 times, and each time he has signed a comic and done a sketch for me. i have a large Walking Dead collection and these are one of my most prized possessions! the first one (the middle comic on the picture) involved a trip from peterborough to wrexham, my first ever overnight stay for a con, a surprise £150 train fair because the lady on the train was a royal pain in the bum and a 4 hours wait in the morning to make sure i was at the front of his queue at the convention. 7. Game of Thrones S5 World Premiere a friend of mine won a competition and took me as his plus one to the GoT S5 World premiere at the tower of london. we got to go into a VIP fan area in the moat and got LOADS of autographs. i got all of these, plus a load more in my autograph book as well. some of the squiggles include kit harrington, nikolai coster waldau, alfie allen and gwendoline christie. ones i got in my book included conleth hill, isaac hempstead wright and jonathan pryce. Ive got a load of other autographs as well. all of them are on my autograph collecting page on facebook: Joshs Autograph Adventures (it wont let me link the page directly) Other honourable Mentions: My HP Poster, signed by all the HP guests at this years LFCC Ophelia Lovibond and Lew Temple, because they both wrote notes back to me and SIr Ian McKellen, because he was kind enough to also get Sir Patrick Stewart to also sign it for me

AIDAN TURNER I was so gutted when he cancelled collectormania in 2012 due to Hobbit filming. Repeating previous posts for Sir Ian Mckellen (YES PLEASE) Viggo Mortensen Orlando Bloom Liv Tyler Cate Blanchett Sean Bean Martin Freeman Jensen Ackles Jared Padalecki

1st time I've not seen a real marquee top must see guest in Glasgow. I'll get my Aliens poster filled up some more but no pics or talks that to get excited about. Used to think Newcastle was a bad line up every year but this year Glasgow is a huge let down. Seen a few more announced today and even an hour ago but still disappointing line up compared to other years Thankfully I got my fix at the London show so it'll be merch browsing mainly for me.

My full album is here if anyone is interested: Some highlights: Alicia Witt Benedict Cumberbatch John Cleese. Nodoby expects us! Iron Fist group shoot. Have we already mentioned how fun this session was? Wil Wheaton. Guest starring Tim Balloon. Alyson Hannigan Kevin Smith was the highlight of the con for me. Fawlty Towers cosplay Doctor Strange / Heroes for Hire cosplay I missed the big impromptu gathering of Harry Potter cosplayers, but at least I have this one

To help celebrate Charmed's 20th anniversary SM should have Shannen, Holly and Alyssa at the top of their list of guests to invite.

You know when you've had a great time when you're still buzzing a week on. What an awesome event! Showmasters, again, thank you.

I met: Benedict Cumberbatch Tom Skerritt Christopher Lloyd Tom Wilson Matt Lucas Dave Prowse Mark Williams Rosie Jane John Leeson Louise Jameson Matthew Waterhouse Tommy Flanagan David Labrava Mark Boone Junior

I've always been a fan of David Bradley, I've seen him in loads of stuff like the Strain, Cornetto Trilogy, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones etc so I was obviously very excited to meet him. I was expecting just my photoshoot as I don't normally get autographs. It was about 2 hours away before the actual photo and myself and my family were walking through Olympia when we came across David Bradley finishing his Tardis photoshoot. Obviously we were a bit star struck and then that's when my dad said "I'm going to go over and tell him how good he was in The Strain" which I thought was just him joking around as I didn't think you were allowed to just go up to guests without having an autograph pass etc but my dad did anyway, he walked up close to him before engaging in conversation. At this point, I was expecting him to then start walking back, meaning a LFCC rep turned him away, however he looked back at me and so did Mr Bradley himself who then beckoned us over and shuck each of our hands. We then all talked about comic con etc for a minute or so before he had to get back to his autograph table, I must say, he is such a lovely man and truly a treasure to the convention.

I have also always used arrowfile sleeves and binders. Never had a problem with them. Got 5 binders full of autographs and photos.

I ordered the 8x10 sleeves and 6x9 photo sleeves from Arrowfile myself, and spoke to the guys at the store who were very helpful, saying that autographs and photos will be fine in these sleeves.

WARRIORS cast members. Michael beck, James Remar, Dorsey Wright, Deborah Van Valkenburgh, David Harris, Tom Mckitterick, Terry Michos, Brian Tyler, Thomas G Waites.

statesidestills is a good one for quality pictures

Yes! That would be amazing!

This year was my second ever event! At my first event two years ago, I got confused on where to go. However, that was partly my fault for not being very well organized! This year, though, I was very organized! I knew the times of all my photo-shoot sessions, knew where they would be, and knew how the virtual queuing system works. If I had been very well organized at my first event, I would have been fine! At both events, though, the staff were great! Believe me, your second event will be easier!

sickkgirl, I have hidden a number of your posts because due to the wording I can't leave them on without potentially risking legal issues. I just got what I had heard confirmed because I didn't want to put out wrong info. Weekend of Hell is no longer run by the original Person. Showmasters' Partner who they are running the Comic Con Europe Events with has now taken over.

Always a highlight of the con to see what the cosplayers come up with :-) Kaecilius and the Ancient One were great! I also loved the comic con guest cosplay, it was so original! Another original one I saw was Samara from The Ring when she's crawling out of the television. And a special shout-out to Star Wars cosplayers, what a friendly bunch! We cosplayed as Star Wars characters on Sunday, and all the Star Wars cosplayers were saying hi or interacting with us.

Yup I was there as well. Cheap, simple and nice pretty unlimited breakfast. They even gave me a double room this year for myself :-D for £50 it's hard to argue.

He's a great guy! I met him in Bournemouth Film and Comic Con a while ago and he was very chatty and super friendly. I remembered he talked to me about his holiday in France. I didn't meet him this year but I saw him while queueing for Jessica Henwick's autograph, and it was nice to see that even though he was way busier than before, he was still the same lovely engaging guest! :-)

Natalie was lovely. Please get her back, SM!

Different horses for different courses. Personally I love hotels and I make the most of them while I'm there. I do the whole breakfast/afternoon tea/spa thing, its more to me than just a few hours kip, its the whole going away experience, I work hard all year, when I go away even for a few nights, I want something relaxing. I got to LFCC late each day and I still got everything done, went to the pub quiz, theatre, comedy store, met my friends and still found time to enjoy my hotel stay

I got mostly 8x10s from the tables, but I do have a couple of items you guys might like. Kevin Smith signed my copy of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Clerks-Chasing-Amy-Two-Screenplays/dp/0786882638 As you can see, it's a copy that has seen some use - it has a lot of sentimental value for me (among other things, I had a fight with my girlfriend over it). Out of all the stuff of his I own, this one is the most special to me, so that is what I chose for him to sign. With two main protagonists (three if Tom hadn't cancelled, sob sob ) and two regulars, this year's LFCC seemed like a very good time to start an Iron Fist poster. With help of a couple friends, we found a cool cast shot, photoshopped in the rest of the characters, and printed it on very nice paper. I hope I can get the rest of them someday, but even if it stays just with this four, it was a very cool and fun project. Worth it just for Wai Ching Ho's reaction alone!

I hope Finn and Jessica return, too! I would love to meet Finn again! Hopefully, Jessica returns as well as I would like the chance to meet her! I didn't get the chance to meet her this year due to money. So, I hope she returns as I would like the chance to meet her!

Ooooh, I made your list! :) It was a very nice surprise when you came up to say hello. Pleasure to meet you in person! Cool reading about your experiences. Nice story about Tricia and the cat sketch. Sorry about your experience with Wil - I only met him for a photoshoot and it was very fun for me. There's always the risk of catching them at a bad time.

Any LOTR guests and I'll be a happy man :)

I think I'm very lucky to be wired weirdly that I don't get post-con blues, I'm just prancing around like a sugar- and caffeine-fuelled gazelle thinking about the weekend still...

Hello, I'm Lisa, twentysomething and Dutch. I've met a fair few people from the forum at the LFCC Geek-off, but I finally decided to stop lurking and actually join the forum so I can join the convo here *woohoo*. From September on I'll be living in the Netherlands, but will still visit a fair few events in the UK over the year. I cosplay various characters from various fandoms such as Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Disney and Marvel & DC. - Lisa

Timothy.. he just ozzes coolness. Couple him with Elisha Cuthbert to make it a the girl next door reunion or Walter goggins to make it a justified one

I missed out this year, because I had a big trip to the states. So if you would bring back Benedict I would be very happy. Mads would great as well... But my first wish ist Timothy Olyphant and if you have some more money to spare - pleeeeeease get back my love Jeremy Renner! That would be all. Thank you! :)

I didn't meet him, but he walked past me with two security guards. He was going back to his autograph booth and a little boy followed trying to take a photo. I saw actors hiding their faces in situations like these, but Benedict actually turned around, waved at the little boy and said "hello". I thought that was really nice of him :-)

Jodie Whittaker

For someone who is a huge star now, he made me feel incredibly appreciated, and all it took was 15 seconds in the afternoon photoshoot on sunday! Shaking hands, asking names just to say nice to meet you afterwards, such a true gentleman and an incredible rolemodel for anyone! I just remember a little fun moment of when we were taking our picture together. I quickly moved my hand to point at Benedict and just before the photo was taken, Benedict noticed and quickly tried to move his hand upwards. The resulting photo has his hand lower than the position I remember he raised it to (plus his left arm is slightly blurry as a result ), and I just remember him saying "You beat me to it!". Honestly, the highlight of the weekend, and a dream come true that I never considered in a million years!

Charmed guests SOA guests The 100 guests Horror guests especially Shawnee Smith and Cary Elwes Dexter guests Defiance guests JAIME MURRAY fits both Dexter and defiance

Bella Ramsey...ain't noone sassier than Lyanna Mormont!

That guest list was quite something and I had to restrict myself from going nuts (the Diamond Passes alone did horrible things to my budget), but I met Alyson Hannigan (finally! YAY!), Sarah Douglas, Terence Stamp, Tricia Helfer, Natalie Dormer, Conleth Hill, Mark Sheppard (again) and Pilou Asbæk (the latter was my stand-out guest of the weekend, but they were all lovely).

Friday: Finn Jones (what a guy!) Jessica Henwick (she brought a small iron with her, so people could do "iron fists".. I thought it was pretty clever). Michael Madsen (childhood hero, had both a photo op and had him sign for me, he was stellar, though I think a little worn out at the end of the day). Sunday: Tommy Flannagan (We were both hungover, so pretty interesting picture from that one) Mark Boone Jr (As he was near the end of the day, we were getting rushed quite a bit by staff at this point) David Labrava (Appeared uninterested really) Pilou Asbæk (The highlight of the con for me, what an absolute star!) Natalie Dormer (What a sweetheart!) Alan Tudyk (It was clear that he wanted to be there, what a guy!) Sorry for the slightly potato quality pictures. :)

I am unhappy because this photo is not to the high standard that the showmasters photoshoots normally are. I don't use this forum on a regular basis so I had no idea that this "super bright flash" was mentioned anywhere before the event. If you compare my Pamela Anderson photo to any of my other showmasters photoshoots it's quite clear what I mean, I give an example below of the normal quality of a photo taken at a showmasters event I think that the least Showmasters should do is give everyone the digital copy for free to allow us to improve the pic ourselves

I know this might not be consolation, but if anyone is unhappy with their pic I will happily edit no probs. I'm a Photography& Graphics student @ Uni. Would love to help out a fellow con-goer if I can :)
