I think Fanderson does it differently at each con, due to all the
complaints they get about how it was done at their previous con. :-)
Actually, at Century 21, the guests talked, and then at the end of
the day there was an autograph line with one big long line for all
the guests. So no matter who you wanted to see, you had to stand in
the one line. I opted not to stand in the line because it was so
incredibly long, but in retrospect I regret it. My only problem with
what happened was that some fans brought a dozen photos to autograph,
so they held up the line (and all those photos showed up on eBay the
next week). I understand they fixed that in later cons by charging
you money if you want more than one thing autographed.
