I suggest a Firefly marathon viewing party thing over the LFCC weekend. Oh, and Chris...

The though of Chris not watching Firefly

Remember, Nate, you still have that restraining order from last time you told someone to do that.

I suspect it's this kind of date:

Happy birthday from me too! Could you please take some photos of your posters you have signed? I don't know about others, but I would love to see what you've collected so far and how do they actually look. Could you?

Late to the party, but... From a sheer logistical point of view, someone signing their name only (for instance) can take 2 seconds. It's a practiced art. They've done it hundreds if not thousands of times in their life and the pen just flows. Writing an unfamiliar name can take another 30 seconds, more if there's an unusual spelling or if they make a mistake and have to start again. Every personalisation can mean that 2 attendees don't get to meet the guest (long time crew here, I'm talking from actual experience). Now, I do *completely* agree that personalisation is awesome. I've got many over the years made out to me and it does add that extra something, but at the end of the day I also appreciate that there's more than just me wanting to meet the guest. As I've said before, if you had ticket number 900, you'd be glad there are no personalisations in place today... Just another side to the discussion, no offence or pointed jabs meant at anyone.

For Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter fans: today is David Bradley's birthday! Can't wait to meet him this July

It’s my 22nd birthday today so here are 22 of my most wanted (realistic) guests. (by realistic, they’re all guests that have done cons before or they’re currently announced for upcoming cons) 1. Tom Baker - he’s the only Doctor I need to sign my Doctors poster (after Chris and Peter) 2. Freema Agyeman - only new series companion I’ve never met 3. Karen Gillan 4. Sebastian Stan 5. Chris Evans 6. Evangeline Lilly 7. Emilie De Ravin 8. Melissa McBride 9. Lauren Cohan 10. Danai Gurira 11. Jon Bernthal 12. Charlie Cox 13. Deborah Ann Woll 14. John Bradley 15. Gwendoline Christie 16. Hannah Murray 17. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau 18. Nathalie Emmanuel 19. Sean Bean 20. Andy Serkis 21. Elijah Wood 22. Liv Tyler A lot of these guests crossover into multiple popular shows/films so they’d please a lot of people (eg Evangeline- Lost, Marvel, Hobbit. Gwendoline- GoT, Star Wars, Hunger Games. Danai and Jon- Marvel and The Walking Dead)

Hey guys! So some people in the LFCC Guest Suggestions Thread said that they wanted to see some of my signed things. It's my first time using tinypic and my first time attempting to post photos on the forum so I hope this works. Just a bit about me and my collection before I start... I've only just turned 22 today so I haven't been attending conventions for as long as a lot of you and I am also perhaps a bit more limited budget-wise. Before going to university I was fortunate enough to go to about 4-5 conventions a year. During uni and over the past year now I've graduated I've only really gone to London Film and Comic Con and also the Newcastle Film and Comic Cons (but often just for 1-2 guests as the event is local). So my collection is growing slowly but steadily. Obviously if I move into a full time career then I may be able to fund more conventions. I started going to conventions towards the end of 2011 and it just started with local events. Then it became Collectormania Milton Keynes, some events run by another company, and then eventually LFCC. When I started, I just met people from Doctor Who, and I met anyone no matter how big or how small their role. At my first events I just got all kinds of things signed...dvd covers, boxed action figures, photos etc. where as now I mainly get posters signed and I only meet people if they're main characters in Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Marvel TV Shows and Films, Lord of the Rings, Lost and Doctor Who (as listed in my bio). I'm a lot stricter in who I meet now. I do meet a few people who aren't in these things (like Carrie Fisher) but try to stick to it as best as I can. And I don't meet people who had minor roles in these things. If we take The Walking Dead as an example, I don't think I would meet anyone who'd been in under 20 episodes. Due to my age, I didn't start watching Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead from the start, so I attended conventions that GoT/TWD cast members were at, but I hadn't seen the shows at that point so didn't meet them. So a lot of you will have autographs that I don't have. So to kick things off, my main focus for conventions... my Game of Thrones poster! As you'll see across the photos, I try and choose posters that a) have as much space on them as possible for autographs and b ) are not too dark/busy so that the autographs are clearer. I won't name everyone who has signed it but the main people are Lena Headey, Iain Glen, Jerome Flynn, Jack Gleeson, Conleth Hill, Alfie Allen, Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Natalie Dormer, Michelle Fairley, Rose Leslie, Sibel Kekilli, Carice Van Houten. I was fortunate enough to get Michelle Fairley and Alfie Allen to sign my poster for free at theatre stage doors, but the rest are all from conventions. I'm also working my way up gradually with it which is why there's the big white space at the top. I try and get guests to fill the gaps rather than signing too big in an empty space. I want to make sure I don't run out of space! It's also been signed by Richard Brake since this photo was taken.

100 DAYS TO LFCC!!!!

Hey everyone, I know this isn't the place to talk about it, but I've just posted some photos for you all in the general chat :) https://showmastersonline.com/forums/index.php?/topic/95814-sam_carter96-autographs/ And here's a guest suggestion just to keep you happy Raylenth Freema Agyeman!

This is my Doctors poster currently signed by 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11. Hopefully going to be signed by 9 and 12 at LFCC. I know he's not on this, but I'm still going to get Peter Capaldi to sign it (and Jodie and any other future Doctors). Matt Smith signed this for free at another convention during the photo op session. Sorry it's not the best photo

These photos are signed by every (alive) classic companion apart from Yee Jee Tso. They're signed by Caroline John, Mary Tamm and Deborah Watling who are no longer with us.

This is my poster for Doctor Who companions (and main people from the Torchwood team and the kids from the Sarah Jane Adventures gang). From the new series of Doctor Who it's signed by Billie, Noel, Catherine, Jenna, Arthur, Pearl, Bernard. I have met Karen Gillan and John Barrowman but that was before I started this poster. Would really love to meet them again as well as Freema and Alex. It's signed by every (alive) Classic DW companion apart from Jackie Lane and Yee Jee Tso.

Sadly not. In many ways it made my line better. Had he personalised I'd have gone with "I'm amazed you have personalised, especially given my surname." As he didn't I went with "it's probably just as well you didn't personalise," etc... Moriartys, you see. Always thinking at least two steps ahead of everyone else...

My guest wish list: Amanda Tapping Claudia Black Richard Dean Anderson Morena Baccarin Sean Astin Sir Patrick Stewart Felicia Day There's no doubt more but these are some of the people that quickly come to mind

True, that is what I really like about my job. I always work seven days in a row then off five. Then it starts over again.

But in another thread. Not in here.

I thought we were not supposed to talk about that, because of.. *whispers* cardboard Natalie.

If me and Wrong'un are in agreement about something, you'd best pay attention.

Seriously, that is the wrong decision. I'm like you and I don't like things that aren't finished, but Firefly is the exception to that as it is just so great. It's basically Han Solo the series.

To David!

Yes! Cant wait to meet this amazing actor, happy birthday David Bradley. One mean man in Game of Thrones but a true cat lover in Harry Potter.

I’ve already done that twice this week.

Take all your clothes off and run down the road barking like a dog.

Ahaha aaanyone! Anyone! I need some excitement in my boring life.

It feels like ages ago that we got a guest announcement haha

Ohh cheap Ecclescake Funko! https://forbiddenplanet.com/167158-doctor-who-pop-vinyl-figures-9th-doctor/

Who fans! https://forbiddenplanet.com/109095-doctor-who-t-shirts-tardis-quotes/ Cheap! https://forbiddenplanet.com/128493-doctor-who-costume-t-shirts-10th-doctor/ One for R4 https://forbiddenplanet.com/118616-doctor-who-t-shirts-12th-doctor-costume/ There's more but I won't post all the links

@Chris1970 I'm now imagining you going up to him with notes written on your palm "I really loved-" *reads* "-that firebug show. And your character-" *reads* "Hal was great. Thought all the characters living on the ship-" *reads* "Serengeti were awesome" x

Last minute trip to Belfast for SM Belfast con?

Not too many autographs on this yet, but here's my Marvel poster. TV show characters sign on the left and movie characters sign on the right. I know that this poster is just of Captain America but a) there weren't too many poster options that would work for all of Marvel b ) autographs show up clearly on it (as it gets more full guests could sign on Cap in silver) c) Cap is my favourite superhero. On the right it's signed by Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Benedict Cumberbatch and Benedict Wong. Chris signed this for free when I met him while he was filming Infinity War in Durham. On the left it's signed by Hayley Atwell, Elden Henson, Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick. I'm only going to get it signed by the main casts of the tv shows and also people who are in more than one of the movies (so not Mads Mikkelsen, for example)

You would know all about that, wouldn't you?

Alas, 1 person actually did if memory serves, our own Rob Moriarty! So it's possible. Unlikely, but possible.

I think I will skip it actually, not starting a series I know does not have a real ending, like Terra Nova... cancelled for a reason. With that said I must add I am extremly picky when it comes to space located stories, I only accept Star Wars, and not even the prequels or animated series. And first Alien movie. Umm, if my sister tells you to do something, you better do it.

Damn it! You made me laugh! "I'm a little teapot.."

Birthday month buddies!! And happy birthday @Sam_Carter96! A very good list! Hope SM will grant you at least one of them!

But Firefly is not just any show. Yes, it's about space cowboys, which you may or may not find the coolest thing ever. But that's not what makes it special. What makes Firefly stand out is that all of its characters are complex, three dimensional people with flaws, nuances and layers; and above all, the dialogue is perfect. Each and every line that is said, and what is left unsaid, manages to be cool and clever in itself and also move the plot forward and also tell you tons of info about the character. I guess everyone will say something similar about their favourite show. But I really do think Firefly is something else. Also, it died a very early death, which is a pity, but in exchange, it's only 14 episodes and one movie. You don't need to invest a lot of time to be up to date, and it didn't have time to get stale and have mediocre episodes. the movie gives a very decent ending to the main story, which is unique for series that were cancelled early. And if you really want to know more, any and all plot threads that may be left dangling in the show are resolved in the comics.

I just watched Fear the Walking Dead 4x01, and damn! Maggie Grace is so cool in it. Can we bring her? With a duo photoshoot with her Lost brother Ian Somerhalder? Pretty please?

Busy going through the schedules planning out the weekend

@HeartDT Glad you’re enjoying it

I would love if you could bring emilie de raven :)

Kono <3 I think I can sort some cash out for her as I love her in H50
