Con season is in full swing and chances are you've already squealed and danced around when you realized your favorite celeb/writer/artist will be there. Once the excitement passes and you start planning what you're going to say/get signed take a minute to read this nice little lists of do's and don'ts when meeting your idol.
DO remember that they are a human being too, and deserve all the respect and whatnot that comes with being a person. That means DON'T ask them questions or for a picture/signature in inappropriate places or situations (like the bathroom, while their eating, at their god damn house you crazy stalker).
DO let them know that you like their work, people like hearing that their hard work has paid off. Please DON'T list the 999 thing you don't like about their work though, that's just rude. How would you feel if someone listed all the things they hate about something you poured your heart and soul into?
DO check ahead and see what the signing/picture rules are for the event. Some places limit the number of items you can bring or require that you purchase them at the event. Typically pictures with celebs will cost money, with the more famous being the most expensive. DON'T take advantage of the "no limit" rule and bring a giant fracking box full of comics to have signed. If you absolutely must have all 237 issues of Captain Whatever signed then break it up and ask a friend (or 4) to help out. Be courteous of the other fans also wanting something signed as well as the signers time.
