.: My Autographs :.
These are the autographs that I've got. I've been asked by several people how I got them, so I figured to make the answers quick, to write them here.
.: Mailed Cards :.
Sarah M. Gellar:
I got this after sending her a fan-letter, including one of my drawings of her, I even included the mail adress to one of my best friends and she too was sent one, the thing was that I wrote her adress inside, so I can tell you for sure at least someone reads the letter, that it's not an automaticly sending out an autograph to letters without them at least being opened :D
Cast BtVS:
Signatures from:
Sarah, Aly, Emma, Amber, Michelle, James, Nick, Tony
This one I got after a friend of mine wrote to the cast asking for their autographs and was sent two, I got the second one, you can say she really made my day there :D
.: Misc Items :.
Convention Programme:
Signatures from:
Danny Strong, Tom Lenk, Adam Busch + 2 more
None of these autographs were required personally, the reason I have this was that there was held a mock auction for charity on these convention programmes at NFA and since I didn't have Danny or Adam's autographs I thought I might as well participate. I don't know who the other two autographs are, lol. I just have them.
Firefly DVD:
Signatures from:
Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Christina Hendricks, Mark Sheppard, Michael Fairman
Morena's autograph was aquired Saturday 16th September 2006 and the following five on Sunday 17th September 2006. Stories on each guest can be found under each of the signed photos I got, further down. But notice how Michael's autograph has an arrow pointed to Mal's ear. I thought that was pretty clever :D
.: Buffy Diary 2004 :.
Tom Lenk:
I got this autograph on Friday 30th April 2004, when I attended a Starfury convention called Fusion and Tom was one of the guests there. When I said where I was from he said he always wanted to come to norway, even asked which town I was from and jokingly pretended to write it down. He was really funny and nice.
Random BtVS:
Signatures from:
Nicholaus Brown, Sarah Hagan, James Leary
I got Nicholaus' autograph Thursday 29th April 2004, he was really nice, and very funny as well. LOL. I got Sarah's Friday 30th April. She was really nice, a bit on the shy side, but very friendly. I got James' Saturday 1st May. He was funny had a very nice smile and was just a sweetheart.
Firefly Cast:
Signatures from:
Summer Glau, Jewel Staite, Nathan Fillion
I got these on Sunday 2nd May 2004, my 20th birthday. Both Summer and Jewel wished me happy birthday and wrote it in the autograph. They were real sweethearts. Nathan was very funny and also a sweetheart.
Clare Kramer:
I got this on Thursday 29th April 2004. Clare was really sweet, very enthusiastic about the convention, kind of geering the rest of us up more than before. I had brought her a drawing of mine, but wasn't allowed to give it to her personally, but afterwards I got to speak for her and she was really a sweetheart, very genuine. And I got to talk to her a little more later on that convention. In the end I left there a bigger fan than I was before.
.: Angel Diary 2004 :.
Amy Acker:
I got this autograph on Friday 24th June 2005, when I attended a Starfury convention called Quor'toth and Amy was one of the guests there. I had brought with me 2 framed drawings to give to her, which she loved. I also told her that I was going to dress up as Illyria the day after and she claimed I would be a better Illyria than her. (Yeh right... lol) When she saw me in my costume later on she told me she loved it. So I can say it was a gret success :)
Andy Hallet:
I got this on Friday 24th June 2005. I told Andy how great it was to see him at good health, something he really appreciated. And after he had signed my autographs I gave him a drawing I had made of Lorne and he loved it so much he got up and kissed me on the cheek, saying "I'm definatly gonna talk to you later". You can say I was in the clouds for the rest of that evening. :)
Vladamir Kulich:
I got this on Friday 24th June 2005. Upon seeing my name, he told me that he know an Italian guy with the same name. LOL, later on in a guest talk he and I talked about the use of norwegian in the thirteenth warrior and he started calling me his norwegian sister :)
Random Ats Front:
Signatures from:
Dayne Johnson, Sarah Thompson
I got Dayne's autograph Friday 24th June 2005, didn't get to chat so much with him personally, but he was really funny in his guesttalks where he was babysitting Andy. lol. I got Sarah's autograph Saturday 25th June 2005, I had brought with me a drawing I had made of her, at first she thought I was just showing it to her and she told me she loved it and when she got to know it was hers to keep, she got up and hugged me :)
Random Ats Back:
Signatures from:
Stacey Travis, Jenny Mollen, Dennis Christopher
I got all 3 autographs Saturday 25th June 2005. Stacey had seen me so many times at the con in general as well as in the autograph session, where I was stewarding that she had to ask me if I had been there before, lol. Jenny was really talkative with each fan so her queue was a mile long, same was Dennis whos queue was even longer. I jokingly named them Chatty #1 and Chatty #2.
.: Angel Casefiles Vol 1 :.
Amy Acker:
I got this autograph on Saturday 13th May 2006. Amy was a sweetheart as always and remembered that I had earlier that day asked Andy if he could come on stage that night and performed and told me she thought it was great I had talked him into it. It's always nice to be noticed.
Andy Hallet:
This one I also got on Saturday 13th May 2006. I don't remember talking that much to Andy in the autographs session, other than saying who the other autographs were for and such. lol, I mean I had already been up at the mic and asked questions, plus I had met him the year before.
Christian Kane:
This I got Saturday 13th May 2006. The real funny story however isn't attached to this particular autograph, but one I was getting for a friend of mine, who's also named Christian and who's studying law at the moment. It was such a good moment to see Christian stop up, because he couldn't just plainly sign it, he had to come up with something clever to write, which he did. He wrote "Good luck with the law", which my friend really appreciated. I could also tell him that he was the most popular one amongst my friends, since I had gotten most requests for his autographs. He was very pleased to hear it and wanted me to pass on his gratitude.
Dayne Johnson:
Yet an other autograph received at Saturday 13th May 2006. It felt good to this year have something more solid for Dayne to sign and not just the inside of a cover since I lacked a picture. I opened up the make-up section in the Casefiles and there was even a picture there of Dayne in action, which I thought was cool.
J. August Richards:
This too I got on Saturday 13th May 2006. J was real cool with me, offered to write whatever I wanted on the autographs I was getting for other people. It started with me mentioning that one was for my ex and like everyone else he misunderstood and assumed ex means bad, which really isn't the case here. He made me feel special with asking me what was my ex's problem since we weren't together anymore and then I had to explain that I was the one ended it and he wanted to know why. He was genuinely interessted in hearing it. I tried however for the sake of people behind me to limit it to just a few sentence answers each time and I don't think I used too much time.
Inside the cover:
Signatures from:
Jonathan M. Woodward, Keith Szarabajka, Steve Carlson
Keith and Vincent's autographs I got on Saturday 13th May 2006. Jonathan however was a surprise guest announced at Saturday night, so his autograph I got the day after.
Front Page:
Signatures from:
Adrienne Wilkison, Clare Kramer, Vincent Kartheizer
All three autographs were aquired on Saturday 13th May 2006. I had hoped more of the guests had chosen the cover, since it's harder to read the autographs from the noisy background, however done is done and I made sure to get individual photos signed with Clare and Vincent as well.
.: Stewarding Diplomas :.
Fusion Guests:
Signatures from:
Jewel Staite, Summer Glau, Juliet Landau, Sarah Hagan, Clare Kramer, Nathan Fillion, James Leary
I got this because I had voulenteered for Stewarding and showed up for the duties I was given. It was really nice of so many of the guests to sign so many of the diplomas, some signed all, others signed some.
Quor'toth Guests:
Signatures from:
Jenny Mollen, Andy Hallet, Sarah Thompson, Vladamir Kulich, Amy Acker, Dennis Christopher, Dayne Johnson, Stacey Travis
I got this because I had voulenteered for Stewarding and showed up for the duties I was given. Not to play favourites or anything, but this diploma is even better than Fusion's and this one even have ALL he guest's autographs on it :)
Not Fade Away Guests:
Signatures from:
Vincent Kartheizer, Amy Acker, Andy Hallet, Dayne Johnson, Clare Kramer, Adrienne Wilkinson, Keith Szarabajka, Steve Carlson
I got this because I had voulenteered for Stewarding. I didn't feel that I had completely deserved this, since my hotel screwed up and failed to wake me for one of my duties, but I made amends, first by trying to get extra duties at the con to make up, which I was told wasn't gonna be nessesary. I checked in quite frequently. So I asked Jenny and Ian to give me extra at Serenity Cubed instead, which they agreed to.
Serenity Cubed Guests:
Signatures from:
Mark Sheppard, Sean Maher , Morena Baccarin, Michael Fairman, Christina Hendricks, Nectar Rose, Gigi Edgley
After a lot of studying I came to the conclution that these were the guests who had signed. I think the only reason Jewel is lacking from the list is because she had the last table at the Sunday autograph session, therefore she was the only one of the guests without the spare time to sign the diplomas as the event was already running madly late.
.: Sunnydale Yearbook :.
Elizabeth A. Allan:
I got this one at Saturday 1st May 2004. Elizabeth was really sweet and funny, when she saw the picture she laughed and said "Oh... the famous picture..." LOL, as I wasn't allowed to give her her drawing personally, I told her that the steards would later on give her a drawing for me and that I hoped she liked it. Sadly I didn't get to talk to her after, but I asked Sean when I saw her the next day and he could tell me she liked it.
Emma Caulfield:
I got this at Saturday 1st May 2004. Emma was the only one at Fusion I was lucky enough to give the drawing to personally, as I happened to be right outside a room she came out of [yes, it was pure luck], she was really a sweetheart and oh so stunning. I got the autograph the day later at Saturday 1st may. I had been told in the queue that she wasn't personalizing any photos, just the personal item. But she personalized all mine as well as my personal item. I think that was really sweet of her.
Juliet Landau:
Juliet was a real sweetheart when I came into her autograph session Friday 30th April 2004. As was her boyfriend who she had brought to the convention. He helped me with my photos once she had signed them. I didn't get to give Juliet her drawing personally, but I ot to talk to her later on and she was incredibly sweet. Then at her photo session 2 days later she greeted me with a hug. I also got to talk to her at the closing ceremony. I can't find any other word than sweet...
Eliza Dushku:
I got this Sunday 18th April 2004. Eliza was the first person I met and it was just pure luck that made it happen, that I just happen to arrive in england a few days earlier, managed to drag a friend all the way to Birmingham with me. And that despite them running out of tickets before I got there. I asked the staff to make sure she got a drawing I made her, but they ended up letting me give it to her personally. She was incredibly sweet and signed my yearbook with a thanx and OMG how stunning she was as well.
Alyson Hannigan:
I got this at Tuesday 4th May 2004. My birthday present from a really good friend was taking me to "When Harry met Sally" where Aly starred. And it was just a hillarious play. Aly was incredible. After the play I hurried to the back stage door entrance where Aly came out and signed autographs. I was very lucky to get one as I wasn't closest to the barrier, but after some others got an autograph and moved back, I managed to get in front and was one of the last that day to get one.
Nicholas Brendon:
I got Nick's autograph Saturday 1st May 2004. I had been told in the queue that he wouldn't personalize the photos I brought, but he did anyway, without me asking. He didn't personalize the yearbook though, but that didn't matter as much. I never got to give him his drawing personally, but I asked Sean the next day on if he had liked it and was told he did. And then under his guest talk I got up the courage and asked him if I could get a hug as it was my birthday, and he did, wishing me happy birthday.

Jenny Mollen:
I got Jenny's autograph Saturday 25th June 2005. I brought with me the drawing that I the day before had told her she was going to get. And when she got it, she said over and over again how much she loved it, she studied it and pointed out to her mum how the mouth was done just right, then she was writing her autograph and almost mispelled my name and that lead to a very long thank-you message on it :D
Sarah Thompson:
I got Sarah's autograph Saturday 25th June 2005, I had brought with me a drawing I had made of her, at first she thought I was just showing it to her and she told me she loved it and when she got to know it was hers to keep, she got up and hugged me :)

He was very pleased to hear it and wanted me to pass on his gratitude.
Clare Kramer:
I got this at Saturday 13th May 2006. No words can really describe my bond to Clare. She's simply special to me. It's like I told her the night on my arrival and in the Question and Answer session on Saturday, when I first thought she wasn't gonna do any more Starfury conventions I was one of those people who had said "How can it be Starfury without Clare?" And after a bad day travelling to the con with both my flights being delayed and me generally getting worried about wether or not I'd actually get to the con, just hearing that she was there, it made my bad day go away. Everything would be allright with Clare there. Especially when she the minute she saw me, rememebered me from the previous cons. In this autograph session she complimented me on my dress, which is the first sun dress in years that I've felt comfortable in and with Clare commenting on it, it made me feel even more special. I love Clare, it's as simple as that and I cherish every chance I get to talk to her.
J. August Richards:
This too I got on Saturday 13th May 2006. J was real cool with me, offered to write whatever I wanted on the autographs I was getting for other people. It started with me mentioning that one was for my ex and like everyone else he misunderstood and assumed ex means bad, which really isn't the case here. He made me feel special with asking me what was my ex's problem since we weren't together anymore and then I had to explain that I was the one ended it and he wanted to know why. He was genuinely interessted in hearing it. I tried however for the sake of people behind me to limit it to just a few sentence answers each time and I don't think I used too much time.
Jonathan M. Woodward:
This is the only autograph that I got on Sunday 14th May 2006. Jonathan was a surprise guest announced on Saturday night with a surprise photo shoot and a surprise autograph session. First I managed to actually join the wrong queue, so I queued especially long to get to Jonathan. So I had a long time to look at the photo I was getting, which I just find hillarious. He had photoshopped himself into the serenity cast picture. I simply loved it. When I came up to him, he complimented me on my name, told me it sounded pretty, and I revealled for him that it had a horrible meaning in Japaneese. Knowing Jonathan loved nasty Japaneese words, I let him know what it meant and he was fascinated. I did also let him know that it had a better meaning in old norse, just so he wouldn't think it was all bad. lol.
Keith Szarabajka:
This I got Saturday 13th May 2006. Keith complimented my choice on photo to have signed, because he really loved that photoe. I did too. I hadn't yet seen the charmed episode he'd been in, but I knew I would soon enough. It was shortly after coming home that I got the box set containing it and I pulled out the photo just as the scene came on to point him out to a friend. It was pretty cool.
Vincent Kartheizer:
I got this at Saturday 13th May 2006. Vincent had been a real flirt with all the girls in his photoshoot earlier in the day, so I had gotten accustomed to calling him cutie all the time... lol. I don't remember what he said back, I think it was sweetie or something. lol
Christina Hendricks:
I aquired this one on Sunday 17th September 2006. I had brought my little mascot with me everywhere that day; an animatronic monkey I had named "Simon" after people had asked me to name it. And while Christina was signing the autograph I put Simon down on the edge of the table, so that I could quickly put away the photos and not hold up the already too long queue behind me. So this resulted in "Simon" falling off the table and Christina laughed and yelled out "Monkey down!". I had to demonstrate that he was alright by pressing one of his activation points and before I left the table, Christina told me she loved the monkey :)
Jewel Staite:
Sigh, on Sunday 17th September 2006, I finally managed to finally tell Jewel what I've wanted to tell her for the past two years; that she's the reason I even started watching Firefly. I got to thank her for introdusing me to the show and I even told her about how the day after I had bought the Firefly box set, my three roommates had kidnapped it and held a Firefly marathon, to which she replied: "Good girl - spreading the word!" I felt mighty proud :) I also got to invite her to be an honorary member of the Norwegian Firefly and Serenity fanclub, which she accepted and I handed her the club t-shirt that I had designed myself (though that I didn't mention when I handed it to her), which she said she loved. The autograph ended up not being dedicated, not because Jewel didn't offer when she realized she hadn't, but because I didn't think it was that important, especially since the queue behind me still was enormous and the autograph session was actually supposed to be finished by then. I left the table, feeling that I'd fulfilled my dream.
Mark Sheppard:
I got this on Sunday 17th September 2006. I don't remember overly much on the interraction between me and Mark, as his assistant had taken a liking to "Monkey Simon" and started asking me questions about where I had gotten it and such... lol It bugs me that I can't remember more than that. Well, that's what you get when you wait 3 weeks to post the scans... I guess...
Michael Fairman:
This was signed Sunday 17th September 2006. One thing I've always said about Michael, ever since I first saw Niska was that what makes the character so extra creepy is the fact that you'd believe he was this sweet, old grandpa. Mix that presence with the complete psychotic personality of Niska and you've got yourself what has to be the most creepy type of villain that is. Michael himself is one of the sweetest men you can imagine, and funny. He did both the opening and closing ceremony as Niska, which was just really cool. Then when he was trying to pick a spot on the DVD cover to sign, I made a joke about how it was too bad it wasn't bigger, then he could've signed by Mal's ear. He responded by signing right below Mal and draing an arrow to the ear. Funny man!
Morena Baccarin:
This was the only autograph I got on Saturday 16th September 2006, due to Morena having to leave on Sunday, so the low ticket number priority went to Morena's autograph session, so that the early bookers of the convention got the chance to get her autograph. Luckily it seems like they managed to get through most, if not all attendees for Morena, which was a relief. Due to the haste, there wasn't really a moment up at the table, but I don't mind. It was great to just get her autograph.
Sean Maher:
This shiny autograph, I got Sunday 17th September 2006. I had brought my mascot, "Simon, the monkey" with me everywhere that day, from photo session, to stewards duty, to the autograph session. And funnily enough when I was almost up at Sean's table, Simon started making some noise, which lead to Sean and the people around him, break into laughter. I love Sean's smile, not to mention his laugh. Jewel is right, one can sit and watch Sean laugh all day. I didn't just get an autograph for me, but also for a friend and more importantly, for the Norwegian Firefly and Serenity fanclub. When I mentioned it was for the club, not only did Sean write a big "thank you" on it, but he thanked me> and told me how much he appreciated the support. One can say I went from that table with a big grin plastered all over my face.
