Welcome to the Where Are They Now Gallery, a look at what some of the members of 667 have been up to since they joined 667. If you weren't able to get your submission in on time but still want to participate, then post in this thread.
* * *
A.
In the pursuit to be well rounded, a word which here means a chronic overachiever, I'm currently in my penultimate year of Law School and final year of a Bachelor of Civil Engineering with an Offshore Major. I will then be a horribly overqualified Lengineer with a career choice to make.
I'm writing a thesis on Hydrodynamic Forces on Subsea Pipelines which will hopefully lead to publishing opportunities and conference appearances.
I've worked one day a week in a highly regarded law firm as a clerk since 2010.
I have a wonderful boyfriend who will graduate as a Civil Engineer at the end of the year. At the moment we spend almost all of our time together working on our theses and planning our trip to America at the end of the year.

BSam
BSam moved to Melbourne in early 2011 and occasionally hangs out with Shelly.
They are both awesome.

Carma
In the last four years I graduated high school, graduated from my two year college course (early childhood education, fun course and actually pretty easy but lots of stress sometimes too), and last summer I went on a trip to the UK to visit my sister. After I graduated I moved out of my parents' house and it's really great. My roommate has tree rats and they're like my pet nephews I guess? They're really cute anyway. Honestly not sure what thought I'd be doing with my life right now when I was 16 but it's going pretty well.
* * *
Charlotte
My life isn't that interesting. Graduated from high school. Parents got divorced. Cat and dog died. Retarded cousin moved in with Dad. Majoring in French in college but taking the semester off and probably transferring. Had some torrid romantic adventures. Getting my tonsils out in July or August. Just got a wii and obsessed with Zumba. SO IT'S ALL A salsaFIT.
* * *
Dear Dairy
It's unknown to me whether I still have the distinction of being 667's Oldest Member. However, I am happy to report that I am now even older. (I have yet to see age 60, but I plan to reach it in a year or so).
The greatest milestones achieved since I was last at 667 Dark Avenue include four grandchildren (well, two of them are still to-be) and Teacher of the Year at my school. I am also the winner of one free small drink with the purchase of a drink of equal or lesser value.
And I'm still good cyber-friends with fellow Old Broad, Gigi.
* * *
F.D.
Not much has happened since I first joined 667 Dark Avenue. I guess I've grown as a person. Gained more responsabilities and learnt what to say and not to say. Still a lot to do and see and learn, but I've still got a lot ahead of me, too. That's about it.
* * *
Gigi
Even though I haven't visited 667 Dark Avenue much in the past few years, I am still a big Lemony Snicket fan and am looking forward to his new series.
Last year, I earned my Masters degree in education and then lost my teaching job. I am now working as an Instructional Designer.
My three kids all seem to be growing up, but I don't think that means I'm getting older, does it? At least my friend Dear Dairy will always be older than I am.
* * *
Groge
I currently work for my Dad at his pet shops. I recently turned 21 in which I went out for a meal and went to the cinema with family. Since coming back on here in February I have met some awesome people, started writing fan fiction and have also become an admin of the LS Wiki.
* * *
Hermes
Hermes continues to live in Britain, to teach philosophy and to be mysterious
* * *
Kobolos
After the bloody BBQ that gave way to the Cold Feet Ceremony with his beloved Swans, Isadore Kobolos shied away from the public, giving away control of the Canadian terrorist organization known only as LOSDOC (though sometimes referred to as EIEIO and only once mistakenly known as RUXPIN.)
Rumor has it the goblin currently resides with his brides and his brother Lobokos in a quiet gated community in Boca Raton Florida, preparing for the upcoming Apocalypse or his own celebrity reality show, which ever comes first.
Meanwhile, Todd Rodham, the earstwhile 667 Reporter...is still dead.
All the best-
I. Kobolos
* * *
Lady Grantham
Since first joining 667 Dark Avenue, LadyGrantham has moved twice, once across country borders and off the continent, and is getting ready to move yet again on Thursday. Her status as a student remains unchanged, but she's no longer considering law and is now casting her eyes towards a professional writing career, even if it means having to pawn her mother's jewellery or busk on the street corners by writing poems for a dollar. She's also considering a political/diplomatic career, once there's a Prime Minister in office who doesn't remind her of Count Olaf.
In between writing, school, and posting on 667 Dark Avenue, she hopes to spend this year travelling more, worrying less, and cooking more food that she's proud to post and boast about in the Last Thing You Ate/Drank Thread.
* * *
Linda Rhaldeen
I graduated high school, began college, then took two years off to work in a call center in order to earn money. Currently I'm back in school, studying to be a high school math teacher, and work two days a week at a family history center.
* * *
LSWannaBe
Well, I am LSWannaBe, or Beth as I'm occasionally known, because that's my name for some reason. At the moment, I am currently obsessed with the awesomeness that is 1960s Star Trek. I'm in the midst of writing a fanfic about Kirk and Spock being gay lovers and Spock gets pregnant (I know, crazy!) and it's gonna be all romantic and everyone's gonna cry when they read it 'cause it's so romantic! SQUEE!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D Oh, by the way, did I mention that I'm completely nuts? MONKEYS ARE GOD.
* * *
M
I no longer speak to my daemon Endymion, but I do have frequent, involved conversations with my animals. I share my home with three cats, two guinea pigs, five mice, and two ferrets. Another stray I recently took in is Derik, who contributes to the house by cleaning up after the rest of my creatures. We're not engaged, but might as well be.
I'm in my fifth year working at a local LGBT youth center. Although I barely sitll qualify as a youth, it is an extremely fulfilling job. After a few years of college working towards a social work degree, I decided that I hate people and would much rather be a vet tech. In a year, I will start tech school, and hopefully specialize in the care of exotics.
* * *
Mary
I turned 40 this year. I'm heading back to graduate school this fall to get my masters degree in counseling. I'm also looking forward to the new Snicket book in the fall and I'm going to England for the first time in October to see "Jesus Christ Supestar" and "Matilda the Musical".
* * *
MasterKlaus247
I've been catching up with school, now going into my Junior year of high school in Brooklyn, New York. I also am the drummer for a local thrash punk band, who are currently working on an EP.

Welcome, BSNICKET.
Accessing V.F.D. Agent Files... File found!
Agent #1391
Alias: Orphaned_Hope13
Status: Inactive (Rouge Agent)
Bio: Agent joined V.F.D. while still in middle school, and immediately was deployed to investigate suspicious activity at the 667 Dark Avenue forums, which supposedly had information concerning the Baudelaire case. Agent eventually defected and refused to send any more information, claiming she had become part of the community there and no longer wished to associate with V.F.D. agents. Her wish was granted, but she was still tracked as a rogue agent for several months up until her eventual exodus from the community to other forums. Tracking her since then has been no easy task - whenever she enters a group, she adopts a new alias, and whenever she leaves that group, she drops it from use. She has been many places in her internet travels from the deviantART community to a group for fans of a video game series called "Myst". Agent was last spotted with a ragtag group of individuals (presumed to be criminals) that has apparently gathered in support of a Gotham City native terrorist known only as the Joker. Agent is currently engaged in earning an Associate's degree in Chemistry, and continues to write fanfiction extensively under her FFN penname of "Sugary Snicket". Agent also engages in so-called "Let's Plays" of various video games, posting the videos on her youtube channel under the alias "ThePhantomSafetyPin". As of this writing, monitoring the agent is advised, but engaging her is not recommended as it is feared that she may have become "corrupted" by her time supporting various criminal characters, and is to be considered armed and dangerous at all times.

Pandora
Pandora is a jet setting fashion mogul who just returned from excursions in Tokyo, Paris and Italy. Her much buzzed about fall line called XOT will be released in the fall. She is currently in talks to be a judge on America's Next Top Model and will be filling in for Nina Garcia on a few episodes of Project Runway. Her hobbies include fine wines, flower arranging, besting Willis and more. She is happily married to record producer and recording artist, Stud. Her two children Ainsley, 4, and Millicent, 2, will shortly begin schooling with the same tutor who educates the Jolie-Pitts.
* * *
Shelly
I did fine with high school and moved from Mildura back to Melbourne for university at the start of 2011, having been in Mildura for my last two years of high school. Studying Media and Communication. I got a job as a waitress in June '11, and still work as such to this day. I also recently plunged back into my Greek side of the family and the culture. (Greek dancing!)
Also thinking about study exchange at the moment, in either Sweden or New York.
* * *
Sixteen
I've come a long way from lurker to G-Mod in my time on 667. I joined in the summer of 2005 which doesn't even seem that long ago when I think back on all the memories, threads and balls that happened in between. I haven't been as active as I'd like to be recently, mostly focusing on fics, but in the run-up to the anniversary I've been returning more often. I've been working in a hotel to earn some money for my masters degree which I'll be starting in September. It's always great coming back to 667 and seeing both new faces and old, especially during celebratory times like these.
* * *
Snicket
Snicket, better known to the real world as Joseph Rollins, dropped his "Paul Guyot" identity on 667 a few years ago and went back to lurking. Since, he has graduated high school (class of 2011) and been in a rock band called The Other Guys since at least 2009. He also performs in musicals every now and then and helps out with his old high school's chorus and drama program. He is currently enrolled at Waycross College and will transfer in a few semesters whenever to Valdosta State University to major in Music Education...or theatre. He encourages anybody who cares to check out his band on Facebook or add his personal Facebook account if they wish to keep up with him, or talk to him (while he's here) on 667.

Songbird
Songbird graduated college last year and has found a job as a dental assistant/office manager. She has been there for one year and is currently trying to figure out what to do with her life. She desperately misses writing and has less time than ever to do it. Songbird still likes Johnny Depp although was incredibly disappointed with Dark Shadows. One day, she hopes to move out.
* * *
Sophie Baudelaire
Sophie's been making her way through school and trying not to die from all the stress. At the moment, she's enjoying her summer vacation by reading, writing, riding her bike, and visiting 667.
* * *
Swans
Swans spends her days (and sadly nights and weekends) uncovering financial fraud and untangling other financial puzzles. While Swans is a frequent international traveler she has not had the pleasure of visting Teatro Colón in spite of the numeous requests of a certain goblin. In her free time Swans paints, constructs pirate ships out of shoe boxes with her nephews, and poisons the enemies of her forefathers.

The Anonymous Narrator.
Dear Readers,
It is with the greatest discouragement to you that I will not be revealing my exact location. The reason is because my exact location actually happens to be in an area where most people couldn't access in the first place: An alien planet.
Since visiting the street known as 667 Dark Avenue, I have officially graduated high school.
As so, I am also going to be telling my tales to the public quite soon one day.
As so I will also be starting my life as an adult quite soon.
With All Due Respect,
The Anonymous Narrator.

Violet Marie
Since joining 667, Violet Marie has been to New York and Chicago, sparking a feeling of wanderlust. She has also graduated from high school. Violet Marie will be taking a semester off of her education in this fall to focus on her life.

VKSB
I am currently in my last year of nursing school. Once I am finished with school I hope to get a job as a labor and delivery nurse. I have been working at a Quality Inn hotel for the past 3 years as the Group Sales Manager. I am engaged to a wonderful man and plan to be married within the next two years.

I spend most of my time working and not getting bested by Pandora. I listen to too many podcasts.
