At C7, all the Doctor Who guests except Paul McGann and Noel Clarke were only charging £10, even Daphne Ashbrook who had come from the US (as indeed had Matthew Waterhouse who now lives there). I think this is the fair amount for "regular" signers, I'll happily pay £15 for major characters and less common signers and £20 for big names, but anything more than that I think is pushing it unless it is for a really rare signer or a living legend, e.g. Christopher Lee.

For Buffy/Angel I go for any recurring character be they hero or villain. For Bond, any major character (Bond, Villain, Bond Girl or MI6). For Doctor Who, Doctors, Assistants and recurring characters. For Carry On, any major character. For Star Wars, main characters I particularly like, definitely no "Third Stormtrooper on left". Otherwise I go for people who I admire for any reason (talent, looks, particular film/TV show)

It depends on who it is. If it's somebody who I want because of a specific role, then a nice shot of them as that character either publicity or a still from the film/show. However if it is somebody who has appeared in a variety of roles I'm interested in, then I tend to go for a photo of the person not in character, or a close head-shot that could be from anything.
