Have you ever sent a fan letter to an artist by mail (or other methods)? Do you have any stories about your experience or maybe even a response you got back from the artist('s team)? 

 

I have never sent fan mail before, but I have been considering it. 

I once dmed Azealia to tell her she was a disgusting person when she made fun of Twig's sexual assault, does that count?

Yes, when I was a kid I use to get autographs from all my faves but I haven't in a long time.

I once DM'd Melissa Barrera a scathing DM after she shaded Neve Campbell. I also sent a poster for Selena Gomez to autograph back when I was 11 or so, only for her to never send it back to me

I'm gonna say no unless that was the tipping point for you as a fan, as opposed to her catching strays for her bullshit?

Ahhhh that is so cool! That was something I never realized was possible and it would be electrifying to get something back

yes, and you should continue this

I once emailed Cupkkake...she never got back to me. 

I once sent a recording artist a letter with the message "you stole A*****'s sound and you're faking songwriting credits". Six days later, I was kidnapped and sent to an Asian country to work as a slave for a denim jeans brand.

Amnesty International, which got Bangkok to Montauk on lock, freed me after seventeen weeks, and after all that, I wrote another letter to that recording artist: "you will never win an Oscar".

 

I'm still living under witness protection.

Yes

 

This is an interesting thread.

I thought of doing it sometimes but I always stop myself because I feel like I'm not that relevant and I'm nobody to these people, why should they stop themselves to read what I have to say? Or to tell them the impact they had on my life as if they cared? Not judging though, I think fanmail is really sweet but I guess I'm not the kind of fan to get super involved like that. Maybe because I struggle with rejection.

i wonder if leo ever acknowledged this letter or if the 2 ever ran into each other  

No, cause I know they don't actually read them and typically have a team of people who send responses (if they reply at all). 
 

I have tweeted @ a few and gotten replies. But don't know if that's the same thing? 
 

When I was a kid you use to be able to send letters to your fave artist and you could get back a signed picture. But never actually did it.

I would say a reply/mention on social media counts!

 

But yeah that's my fear: I want to send a heartfelt message of gratitude, but I fear all that will end up happening is some random staff member gets my name and address afgahgsga 

No I'd get too shy I wanted to make Allday a bracelet but then that stalker took my idea when I tweeted about it so never did it.

 

I wouldn't know what to send them if I did though 

 

But I do sometimes message Allday time to time but I tend to never reply back because I never want to seem like an obsessed Stan that people make me out to be

 

However I did get one from Denis Stoff back in the days I sent him a photo of my tattoo and he actually replied and I honestly cried so I guess that sorta was like a fan message moment 

I used to write letters "to Britney Spears" when I was 9 or 10 back in the 90s. I wrote them in German and she magically answered in German.

 

Turns out I got into the German fanclub mailing list and basically got an actual newsLETTER every few months to promote her stuff.

 

It had her heart signature printed onto it. I felt so special back then

 

Ahhhh I just did it!  

I just put my corny handwritten thank-you card in the mailbox! My hand was so tired from writing it twice (the first try was so bad I shredded it ) that I ended up messing up a word right at the end, but I was able to scribble it out and write it clearly just beneath nnn. I hope that makes it more endearing, but maybe I will end up regretting all of this (Let's hope not )
