Con Etiquette 101: Obtaining the Proper Signatures

Previously, in Con Etiquette 101, we covered the basics on requesting the proper poses for your photo ops.  And now, with Chicago Con and its impending over the top double engagements/double baby announcements and other strictly heterosexual shit on the horizon,  we should probably go ahead and cover one more aspect of Cons that have a tendency to go wrong, if the proper procedure is not followed.  And that, Sasquatches, is the autograph session. Oh yes.

Now. In the past, the boys and their ~handlers~ have been more than a bit touchy about just what the boys are allowed and/or willing to sign. First of all, there is NO personalizing…of anything…ever, at a con this size.  So don’t even ask. Secondly, in terms of pictures, they generally won’t sign anything that isn’t “OFFICIAL”… whatever the fuck that means.  And also, no body parts.  Well…unless you happen to be awesome, which most of us aren’t.  So forget that, too.  Having said that, every now and then, they’ll let the occasional unofficial picture slip through the line for the boys to sign, even if they do get squicked out signing it.  Unnerving for them, lulztastic for us.

So, with this post, we shall present you with a list of acceptable inappropriate photos to have autographed by the Js.  So long as you have a good ~reason~ for wanting the picture signed, shouldn’t be an issue.  Knock yourselves out…
