YES! That's how a lot of Creation cons are - twits. I've had to leave
talks to go get in line. The last con I went to, you could pay extra for
a *GUARANTEED* seating at the talk and a guaranteed autograph - those
who didn't pay extra just may not get in or get an autograph. I know
that George Takei sat for HOURS and signed EVERYone's autograph and
Bruce Campbell does the same, but hey, can't blame a person for not
wanting to get writer's cramp.

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.

One Trek con - Actually, a Klingon con - I went to did that - one big
line. I got all the guests to sign my con program, but I ain't parting
with it! (Unless I have a desperate need for money in the future <eep>)
I covet allllllllll my con stuff and photos and autographs. It's mine!
All MINE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
