Pod0509 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Lots of people discussing what gifts they have given guests, but has anyone ever given a guest fan mail? I'm considering writing Bill Paxton a letter. Mainly as I am estimating that I will only have a few seconds in front of him for an autograph and this is obviously not enough time to tell him how much I respect him and what an amazing actor he is! Even if he doesn't read it, it's the knowing he has it and that I have had the chance to tell him how I feel. Anyone else considering doing the same?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakers77777 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's a good idea and there's nothing wrong with it. There's no guarantee they'll actually read it, but it's a nice gesture. I might try this at Glasgow, actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarzy2 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I've spent the last year putting together a fan book for Iain Glen. He knows that the http://www.serjorahsarmy.com fans have a special gift for him and i have been in regular contact with him personally since last July when I met him at the Words and Wickets Charity Match in High Wycombe. He told me in his previous letter to me that he will look out for us so i'm looking forward to giving him that. I have made it a very reasonable size so it's not annoying or heavy for him to take home. :) Edited July 13, 2015 by sarzy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enty Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 My daughter used to make cards for people that she was meeting with a short message in them. They were always well received and we did have a few interesting moments with guest because of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider to do the same and give one by friend who cant attending at the event to Alice Krige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasyfan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've done the same with the guests I met on the past Cons. At the Conventions I went, I've always brought a little gift with a card, where I wrote my compliments to the actor for his great talent, or for a great movie he played in. I remember I gave a gift with a letter to Kevin Sorbo, and he, the day after, when saw me at the autograph table, thanked me so much for the gift and the nice words on the letter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie138 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 sounds a good idea, i would probably mention that it was a thank you letter when i handed it over just in case they thought it was some creepy marriage proposal or ransom note, lol.

Aurele Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Fan mail is a good idea. I always gave presents (with a word sometimes to the guests) or a letter just like this but not really fan mail; but a friend gives fan mails once and received some replies.
