If time permits, and it is more fun then work, that is the rule of thumb for sure! I can bet that it is very interesting to see fans come up to the table, and see their nervousness and/or excitement. How cool!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1137422618082993252006-01-16T06:43:00.000-08:002006-01-16T06:43:00.000-08:00I think the "20 books per creator" rule might be a...I think the "20 books per creator" rule might be a bit more flexible than your rule here. If the creator doesn't have a huge queue (or any queue) and he or she doesn't tend to do a lot of conventions, I think the fan should be permitted to get more than 20 comics signed. My husband has a 15+ career in comics so he's done a lot of different books, but doesn't generally like sitting behind a table (although I love it!). So I'm personally thrilled on the few occasions when I can get him to sit at a table and folks come up to him asking him to sign tons of books because they don't generally see him. :)Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009119466346396986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1137288854492355942006-01-14T17:34:00.000-08:002006-01-14T17:34:00.000-08:00I am super impressed by your grace under pressure!...I am super impressed by your grace under pressure! That is an awkward experience to say the least. You handled it very well!<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't have wanted to get out of line either. Haha! <BR/><BR/>Hopefully this gives an example of where the line is and how to not cross it!!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1137288018738636322006-01-14T17:20:00.000-08:002006-01-14T17:20:00.000-08:00At Wizard Philly last year, a guy in a wheelchair ...At Wizard Philly last year, a guy in a wheelchair came up while I was in line for Rags Morales. He kissed my hand, told me I was a fox, and then proceeded to both embarrass me with compliments AND tell me his life story of being hit by a Cadillac. I tried to be gracious, and I had been in line a long time, so I didn't want to leave. Overall though, the fanboys and fangirls were all in good spirits and decent.RedheadFangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03130452058774732168noreply@blogger.com
