Bookplates and author signings

[cleolinda]

Okay, I have a question. I've signed two or three books locally now (because no matter how well you know someone, you always want them to sign a book if they manage to come out with one), and each time it's taken me like a solid half hour to think of anything to say. I was shit at signing yearbooks, y'all. I know that Neil Gaiman signs in fun

You know, for fun things to sign with, have you ever considered some of your livejournal taglines?

[cleolinda]

Hmm, like what?

[avilina]

You know like that trademark "I will turn this internet around and everyone will go to bed without porn."

[cleolinda]

Ah! Replace "internet" with "signing" and that could actually be pretty useful. ; )

Ooooh...good idea.

I'd thought of that too - I actually thought it would be awesome if you signed them something like:

Fun without fail.

Cleo

Short and catchy, and also TRUE about this book I'm sure. :)

[cleolinda]

Ooo, that's nice. Maybe "Switch on the fun without fail"?

[foresthouse]

Ja! I thought of:

"Please open this book and switch on the fun without fail."

but I thought it might be too long for a signing if you do public ones.

Maybe on presigned/mailed books though. :)

Ive never commented before, but maybe something from the PoA m15. That one is your greatest. I cry (from laughing) every time I read it. Maybe

CLEO: Dude, this is so totally how I would teach a class.

Replace 'teach a class' with 'sign a book'.

I dont know, but if I ever got my book signed I would definately want something relating to PoA.

Now I have to read it again, because its that good.
