Comments: I love "Nikita" on the CW and am sad to see its final season begin. I sent to some of my favorite cast members and got Maggie's back. I adore her for the work she does with animal rescue, so I'm very happy to have this one for my collection. She'd a great actress, and I can't wait to see her in "Divergent." Very happy to have Nikita herself if I get no one else.

Comments:  I adore Jeremy Renner and loved seeing him as Hawkeye in "The Avengers" so I sent him a picture from the movie. I received an additional photo back signed. Awesome success!

Dragoncon 2013 in-person autographs

John Barrowman
Where: Dragoncon, Aug. 30, 2013

Comments: Wow, this man's autograph line was craaazy long, but yes, I stayed in it to get Capt. Jack's signature. I loved him on "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood," but I had no idea how awesome Barrowman actually was until meeting him and attending his panels. I even paid to get a picture with him, and that was an experience! This will go great in my "Doctor Who" collection!

Eve Myles
Where: Dragoncon, Aug. 30, 2013

Comments: I had no idea Eve was so funny until I went to the "Torchwood" panel. She was great to listen to, and as "Doctor Who" alumni, she was on my list to get her autograph (being poor, it was a small list!). She was so polite to meet. In the panel, she had mentioned being a Wonder Woman fan, so I told her I was too and we had a moment or two of bonding over that. Really glad to have gotten her autograph for my collection!

Allison Mack
Where: Dragoncon, Aug. 31, 2013

Comments: I received Allison's signature through the mail, but Chloe Sullivan from "Smallville" is one of my all-time favorite characters, ever, so I had to meet Allison and thank her for her portrayal. What an amazing woman she is, too. She's not currently working on anything because playing Chloe taught her to be picky about the roles she plays, but she told me to stay tuned. This is one of my favorite autographs and will go great in my Superman collection.

My first Docor Who sig: Freema Agyeman!

Comments: I'm a relatively new Whovian, having only discovered the show on Netflix this year. I loved, loved, loved the David Tennant years, and I've been trying to collect the main cast's signatures from all the new seasons. This week, I got Martha Jones!  I sense from comments online she's not the most popular companion, but I enjoyed her time on both "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood." Very happy to have this for my collection.

In-person: Chris Sarandon

In-person at Monstercon 2013

Comments: Confession time. When I was young (like, 8, 9, 10), my brothers would sneak me into horror movies with them. I don't think they expected my 10-year-old self to like "Fright Night" as much as I did. I begged them to take me to see it again and again, and I'm pretty sure I saw it at least 4 times in the theater. I've seen it at least 50 times since on video, so when I saw that Chris Sarandon was going to be a guest at a convention in my home state, I was there! Mr. Sarandon was very nice. Honestly, I wanted signed pictures from him from "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Princess Bride" too, but I had to get a "Fright Night" pic signed. Very cool to finally get to meet Jerry Dandridge in person.

Holy cow! I got Henry Cavill!

Comments: I've been a fan of Henry Cavill for a while now, but my admiration of him has grown tenfold in the past few months and especially since I saw "Man of Steel." I'm convinced he's the most handsome man alive, or at least that I've ever seen. Physically, he inspired the character in my new novel, so, yes, I'm quite a fan! I didn't think I'd actually get this back after "Man of Steel" has been such a success for him. I'm suspicious that the inscription is authentic, but the signature appears to be. Either way, I'll take it. I'm thrilled to have this in my Superman collection. I might try again with a "Man of Steel" photo. So happy to have this!

Comments: This is currently one of my most treasured autographs. I emailed the family of Bela Lugosi a very heartfelt and sincere note through the official website, letting them know how much I appreciated Mr. Lugosi's legacy in film and explaining how I discovered his movies and what they mean to me. "Dracula" from 1931 is one of my all-time favorite movies. I received a very kind reply from his granddaughter, Lynn Sparks, who also very kindly sent me this photo, signed by Bela Lugosi Jr. I am very grateful to have it for my collection.
