I just did something I'm really scared to do: I sent a celebrity a fan letter. It doesn't help that it's so hard to find official addresses for some people and I have to gamble with what Google gives me. I really hope he gets it and likes it. I put my return address on, just in case, which is the part that scares me the most.

The best case scenario: he'll write me a reply to tell me it's the best thing he's ever gotten and that he was having a bad day but I cheered him up, or something like that.
The most likely scenario: it will get lost among the 5,000 other letters he'll get that day, either literally (he never even sees it) or figuratively (he reads it but finds it totally forgettable), and I'll never hear about this again. Or the address will turn out not to be legitimate and it will end up in a dead letter dump somewhere.
The worst case scenario: the letter will end up in someone else's possession somehow, and they'll post it online to mock me, complete with my name and address.

you're wayyyy overthinking it my dude (gender neutral), tons of other people send fan letters to celebrities and do those get routinely posted online with name and address to mock them? they do not. it's highly unlikely that anyone else will get possession of this letter, and even if they did, unless you're also famous, or the letter contains some extremely out-there insane shit, no one will have enough motivation to post a random person's fan letter online to doxx and make fun of them. you're gonna be fine. chill

by "extremely out-there shit" I mean, like, insane tinhattery or super obnoxious demands or stuff like that. not normal "I love u" or "you are sooo cool" or "your work means so much to me" type stuff.

Dw, if you get doxxed we will start a campaign to vilify the doxxer and when that goes inevitably viral your fave will no doubt personally reach out.

So, at age fifty, I sent my first fan letter to an older writer, and i got a chatty email back within 24 hours thanking me. The worst part of this experience is that there was a question in that email, and I have had analysis paralysis about whether to reply or not. It was a great experience!
