kindkit | fan mail? (Reply)

I am thinking of writing a fan letter to Christopher Neame, erstwhile star of Colditz. (If you've somehow missed this burgeoning obsession of mine, you can use my Christopher Neame tag to find out more.) The internet has provided me with his agent's fan mail address, which hopefully is up to date.

I feel awkward about it, though. I'd try to write a sensible letter omitting some of the, er, creepier aspects of my fannishness (i.e. talking about his work and not how hot he was back in the 1970s). But then I find myself unsure what to say, or whether it's even possible to write a fan letter without feeling like an obsessive weirdo.

And so I turn to your collective wisdom in my first ever DreamWidth poll. Comments welcome, results not anonymous.

The poll's second question is unrelated to Christopher Neame, but quite related to what I've been cooking lately, which I plan to post about eventually.

Awesome! He'll be glad to know he still has fans.

Nice, although you might want to mention his work that's less than forty years old.

Pointless. Actors don't care about fan mail.

Cringe-makingly nerdy.

Something else, which I may elaborate on in comments.
