    Ahhh but the unpersonalised ones are easier to sell on eBay....

    Who knows, maybe in 40 years time the Gates will be as recognised as a phenomenon as Star Trek is and Stargate actors' autographs will command the same fees.

    I have to say though, I'd have to like someone one HECK of a lot to pay £50 for an autograph.

      Yeah but in one particular case I'm thinking of a guy on another board paid that to meet Leonard Nimoy who was his absolute hero since he was a kid, got there and was told that there would be no personalised autographs and then cued for an hour only to have the photograph snatched from his hand, signed and thrust back at him without his presence even being acknowledged. Nimoy didn't even bother looking up at him or saying hello, he was gutted to say the least.

      From everything I've heard about Joe I don't think any of you have that kind of rudeness to worry about though, nearly every report I've read about him has mentioned how well mannered and polite he is.

        Bummer. I've just read in a thread that my sig may be illegal once they put the new automatic sig limits on. Apparently it's gonna be jpeg only... no gifs allowed. *sigh*

        I love my little animated Shep golfy sig...

          Well as long as a fair % of the £15 goes to Joe I will be happy!

            It's never fun to end up having that kind of experience...it's basically the same as what my friend ended up feeling like...She saw David Boreanaz and James Marsters in London 2 years ago...David is the one she likes of the two...he basically ignored som people,, she said he just walked passed her without even looking at her...while James stopped and talked a little bit to her and just because she had come from Sweden to London to see them he gave her a kiss on the cheek,,,,but I can tell you I had to hear about it for some time after it how dissapointed she was at him and how it had somehow made her think a little less of him...
            She is happy for me that I'll get to meet Joe since she sure has gotten an earful of how much I like him and she said she sure hopes I get a better experience then she did....

                        I'm here and abouts. I'm trying to make a Firefly mood theme for lj. It's more difficult than I would have thought but does give me a good excuse to rewatch all that Mal whumpage.

                              Here's a sneak preview of my new fic, An Ill Wind That Blows (written for the Sheppard HC LJ challenge using the Elements prompt).... this is the opening few paragraphs of the Prologue. As you can see, I am trying not to dive straight into explaining everything that is going on, as I usually do, and instead let the reader work out for themselves what is happening....

                              Spoiler:
                              The noise was unlike anything he had ever heard.

                              The wind didn’t just gust and shriek like in bad storms he’d experienced back on Earth; it roared and growled. The noise was deep and angry and absolutely terrifying. He huddled in the gloom, bodies packed in tightly around him, and listened to the wind stalk them, rattling and shaking the buildings above, snarling its discontent at being robbed of its prey.

                              The faces around him were pale, pinched with fear and dreadful anticipation. They huddled together in the darkness, hunched over, instinctively cringing from the howling noise above, the imminent threat of violent destruction. He found himself flinching along with them as something crashed loudly overhead; the roar of the wind was so close, so loud, that he fought the urge to cover his ears.

                              His heart was racing, fear and adrenalin singing in his veins. He was surrounded by people, crushed together in this small, cramped space, and yet he’d never felt more alone. Alone and terrified. He wished desperately that his team – his friends – were with him. As scared as he was, as much as the awful tempest raging outside made him fear for his life, the overriding concern that tightened his chest and made it hard to breathe was for his friends; for the first time in his life, he understood what people meant when they said that the worst thing was not knowing.
