It might have already been asked, but what all needs to be sent in? And what size envelope needs to be used?


Please and thank you:)

Wow! That's great guys! I want an autographed picture of Maggie Lawson. But I don't know what to do. I mean I've been a HUGE Harry Potter fan all my life but I don't have any confidence to ask for an autographed picture. It's not "I don't have any confidence"...... hmmm.... how do I put this?......OK here: It just doesn't bother that much.

OMG! Thanks so much for this! I looked at the first page and James' and Dulé's addresses are the only ones there. So I thought there were no "Maggie's". I want an autographed picture of her. The only way I know how to get that is to ask James Roday for it because they are real life couples. But now that I have this....This is so great! My only problem now is how to start my letter. Any suggestions? Anyone? Just a single sentence and I'll take it from there. I don't know what to say I mean would I start it with "Hi! How are you?"('like I know her personally' approach) or a "Hey, I want an autograph picture"(rude approach). Help!

We did the craziest fan letter. We both wanted it to be "unique" and we wanted a certain creative style to it. Well what we ended up doing was typing up a whole bunch of 'mini leters' of different styles. The first was one in chat speak. It looked like this. "we luv psyk. u rock. bye! -psykgurl & gurlyfan"

And then we got more creative as the day went on....

We wrote one in some sort of pathetic Spanglish (spanish/english)

We even wrote in the style of a stalker. "We already have your bubble gum wrapper and your pillow case, but we would love to add your autographed picture to our collection so we can put it in our shrine."

And then a snooty, posh style. "Your antics are highly amusing to me."

At the end, we wrapped the whole thing up by telling him our real names and what we thought. We asked for 3 autographs. One for me, one for Meagan, and the last was going to be a surprise for our friend Diana who moved to Arizona.

[please enter squees here]


Nice! So what type of letter did you send? The posh one, stalker one, pathetic Spanglish, or chat speak?

Okay, first off, I got my autograph back also. Same as everyone elses. Just the "JR." I had sent mine back in Feb and just got it last week. So... almost 3 months?

Second, I know you guys are wondering what to write in your letters. A great place is to just let them know what you like about their career. For example for James- you enjoy the humor he brings to your Friday nights. Or for Mags- I have seen you other films and watched you on Psych I love your acting range going from silly to serious and everything in between.

Feel free to be yourselves in your letters, don't worry so much about what they will think of you just be honest and heartfelt and try to be a little different!

Btw, the letter I sent to James was the craziest thing ever! I mentioned peanut butter, Burt Reynolds, back waxing, dying hamsters and restraining orders!!!!!!! And I still got an autograph. Though I might still get the restraining order in the mail! ;D

EDIT: BTW This sounds like I'm totally crazy!!! Oh my god, I swear I'm not! Lol, and I'm also not totally endorsing going the same route I did, letter wise! Wow, not crazy, if you know me at all, you know that's just part of my humor and totally awesome personality!!! biggrin.gif
If anyone wants to know more about what I wrote feel free to ask! Lol! Mine isn't the best example, but I wanted to stand out and be myself, so one thing is for sure if he actually read it, then he got entertained for sure! biggrin.gif

I have a question: My friend and I were thinking of writing James a joint letter from both of us but...if we only send one letter, do you think we'll get two autographs, one for each of us?

That's really the only thing stopping me from sending a letter out. I still don't know what to write but I'm going with that being the only thing holding me back. tongue.gif

Ooh! Would you be as so kind to share some of what you wrote? I'm jumping into the deep end and I'd be more than grateful for a springboard of some kind. tongue.gif

Okay first up the joint writing would be fine, if you want 2 autographs, state that in your letter, but send TWO self addressed, stamped envelopes (sese). Even if it's to the same house! If an assistant is just responding by sticking the autographs in an envelope, then they will get the point, see?

As for what to write...Write what you are thinking! Write, give it a day or so to simmer, read it again to make sure it's coherent and makes sense. I wrote my, proofread it later, had my mom look it over, she thought it was crazy and funny, then I finally sent it.

Okay, I will show you how I opened my letter. Though I don't know if this is the best springboard to jump from, lol biggrin.gif

James,

First off let me begin by telling you that I am a psychic. While I'm sure that your acting talents are...numerous,
I must say that your sad portrayal of a person who can connect through interdimensional planes through various
hyper-sensitive body parts, ie a "psychic", is disturbingly far-fetched in realism. We do not ALL convulse nor do we all have such coiffed hair....

Lol, dude, I'm sorry I couldn't resist. I've heard that you never get crap from psychics so there you go, your first psychic hate mail! Sorry, I thought it was funny, and we all know where that can lead you! So, it goes without saying, I am no psychic!

Wow I really gotta send out for an autograph request to add to my collection of Psych-ness (which consists of a Psych t-shirt-handmade-,Psych mug, Pineapple socks, Pineapple necklace, and DVDs.)

Hiya USA Admin, just reconfirming, folks can send stuff to Steve Franks at this addy?

Steve Franks
Thruline Entertainment
9250 Wilshire Blvd, Ground Floor
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
USA


The Garrett Popcorn people here in Chicago know how much Steve loves their popcorn and want to send him some popcorny goodness (the mix I believe is what you Steve Franks like from the video questions, right? Caramel and Cheese?). Anyhoo...I passed it on to them this afternoon (yes, I really do know folks in high places...did I tell you what happened when I met Val Kilmer?) biggrin.gif

EDIT: Garrett Popcorn said they are sending Steve some popcorn this coming week. They also said they'll send some to the Psych Writers too. So..you know this is coming...wait for it. Wait for iiitttt!!!!

EDIT #2: They sent it. I hope you got it!

So I got mine today, but I had asked for TWO autograph photos in the first paragraph in big letters, so I don't think they even bother to read these. And this was sent before anyone said you had to send two SASE to get two. C'mon why make someone spend twice the postage for 2 autographs. Also, I folded the one SASE so that it would fit and I got the envelope today and the photo was creased/folded. So don't fold your SASE and put it inside the other envelope or you'll get an envelope that gets folded up in the mail, get a bigger envelope to put it inside, or the post office will be sloppy and it will fold...pretty disappointed as I was trying to get these for my two nephews 8 and 12 who are HUGE fans of the show and now I can't even give it to them in that kind of shape. Put in a piece of cardboard too, because the photos are not high quality thicker photos like most you'd get from celebrity autographs.

I don't also get how some people got actual comments from the actors when no one else is getting anything personalized. I was at least hoping he could say "Thanks" or address the two kids by name. So I honestly am starting to believe that they don't even read them, and perhaps they don't even write their autograph either. I worked for a professional baseball team and people would write in for an autograph, hard to tell anyone, but the players never signed them, it was little old ladies who volunteered to open baseball players mail. I'm disappointed by what was sent. : ( I guess I shouldn't have expectd much but these little guys really looked up to them and hoped to get a kind word or something after a long letter to James. oh well sad.gif

Thanks for the pointers about the cardboard & not folding the envelopes. It's disappointing to not get your expectations, of course, but Roday is also a writer/ director/ producer/ boyfriend/ groceries shopper these days, so he probably has less time to read or respond to his fan mail now (he could save it all for a less busy time of the year, who knows).

Nonetheless, he's made it very clear that he (& everyone else on the show) appreciates the fans, so he probably didn't mean to short change your nephews (uh, wait, doesn't this show have some pretty adult topics for an 8 year-old?). Therefore I don't think we can make assumptions that James Roday just doesn't read the letters or just doesn't care. It may be that sending his autograph-only photos is the best compromise for his busy schedule (it still takes a lot of time to sign things - believe me, 50% of my day consists of signing my name to paperwork, so I understand).

You've still done a good thing by telling Roday how much you (& your nephews) admire his work, so try not to be discouraged. If you want a cleaner photo, it probably wouldn't hurt to just send back a couple of sturdier envelopes and a request for 2 more signed photos (or send your own better quality photos?). Sometimes sending a shorter letter telling exactly what you'd like (instead of a long letter than may get put aside to "read later") might get better results. He's only human and is probably doing the best he can to balance his life/ career/ appreciation for his fans. Good luck! smile.gif

Hi there,

I just have one question :

How much does it cost to send the enveloppe (with, hopefully, a picture in it) from the U.S. to Europe (Belgium, just between France and Germany. Best chocolate and beers in the world... but enough with marketing my small country) ?

Would be nice if somebody knew the answer...

Unfortunately, it's not the most straightforward thing in the world... it depends on the country you're in, and even more so, the weight of the envelope...

Here's a pricing guide I found... but it's hard to estimate exactly what the envelope coming back to you would weigh. http://www.usps.com/prices/first-class-mai...al-prices.htm#B

Sorry I can't be of more help!
Angelique11
Well Winky,

it's better than nothing ^^

So thanks a lot (will see if I can find a way... but I'm not too confident ^^)

Edit : 15 to 30 $ per mail... ("hides behind her chair to scream"). Guess it'll wait huh.gif
