Will characters sign autographs with a sharpie marker?

[KMH1]

Have you ever tried to hand a character a sharpie marker for autographs and had them shake their head at you? I have heard that some of the characters with white gloves sometimes refuse to use sharpies.

I was thinking of making a homemade autograph book using black pages, just for something different. Obviously a gel pen is too skinny for a character to hold, so I was thinking a silver sharpie marker would work.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that is what we used in January. All of the characters signed our books with them. None shook their heads. Just have the cap off for them, so they don't have to take it off. I recommend the retractable sharpies, no caps to worry about. That is what we will use next time. Watch, sharpies and other markers go through paper, so what we did was have a piece of pastic to put under the page they wouldl sign. An index card, or a piece of manilla folder cut to size of the autograpgh page, will also work.
