Prometheus Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yeay! What a fantastic surprise. I met RR on the sat and it made my day . He was so nice and easy to talk to. I have read loads of his books the man is a legend. Hopefully SM will arrange more writers for future events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noddy Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Never read any of his books but spoke to him about never reading any of his books!! He was really funny about it and not at all bothered and of course he ended up selling a couple to me as "an introduction to RR" Just seemed a really nice bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucienight Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I went to a Waterstones signing to meet him - He was nice then and funny. His latest book was on 3 for2 so he was telling people to get 3 get them all signed and sell the 2 extra ones on ebay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliens vs predator Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I saw him a couple of times, i haven't read any of his books so i didn't go and talk to him. I overheard him talking with someone else and he seemed like a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairn62 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I recognized him as I walked by, and then looked at his badge and low and behold it was Robert Rankin. I told him I had all his books, but I bought a original copy of his paperback just to get an autograph from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er00 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 (edited) omg, I met him on the sunday, and he was soo nice! I wish I'd known he was gonna be there before I turned up, but meh, I know what I'm getting from my two mates I went with, and my boyfriend's getting one for christmas XD anyway, yea, you can imagine how cool it was just by me telling you that I signed up just to say how cool it was XD yea, he's my favourite author ever ^^ Edited November 9, 2004 by Er00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Suerly there are more RR fans out there than this, the man is a god when it comes to writing. A little crazy maybe, but then who is completely sane! For those of you have never read one of his books shame on yourselves where have you been! Any hoooo good to see there are some folks out there who appreciate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
