That's true. DH isn't a bad person, he's just realistic.
Once again, thank you for being our first adult member.

Yes, but they're going to learn it sometime or other. It just can't be helped.

I didn't read all of the thread but my personal opinion on Daniel Handler is odd. I love his Asoue books and he watching video clips of him talking to kids about them he seems to have good intentions on writing them. I have also heard (like tragedy mentioned) that he was only writing them to mock happy endings and that he didn't even want to write them. I have read that he only wrote them after his wife convinced him that he should write the childs book he never had. If you have read at all about his other stories (the basic eight and watch your mouth) both of them seem kind of sick and not respectable. The basic eight I've read is about young adults trying to restrain themselves from killing others and Watch your mouth is about a family that has sex with one another and a clay golum in the basement. So I have very mixed feeling about him.

I've also read his non-ASoUE books, and they were slightly alarming.
CakeSniffer, I thought you had left!

if he had just wrote ASOUE, i would probably like him a lot more. but the fact, that wrote about incest and all that junk... that's just wrong.
