Book signings and autograph sessions are a bit weird. Especially when it's an author doing them.
You love the writer — in this case, Derek Landy — for their unique skill in taking the 26 letters of the alphabet and a dollop of punctuation marks and weaving them into beloved characters, characters you love to despise, alternate worlds, and so so much drama and tension. And then you pretty much say 'write your own name for me, now write my name, his name, their names, her name...' on repeat for hours, day after day.
