You can mail a letter to MacGyver stating, "Here's a pen, a piece of paper, and a postal stamp. Use these to make him go to our ASOUE website."

It would be really cool if you actually mailed him the "items." Like blurry photographs, or a map drawn on a napkin, or a menu from somewhere, that kind of things.

I know! I could send him a photo of this flowerpot my parents have, with a carved VFD insignia-looking design, as well as photos of crows and possibly of my teachers. I think you should have: The Name of the Secret Society c/o Tocuna 111 Tocuna Lane Tocunaville, NY 902394 Then also if you would like to include members perhaps you could devise a script of a meeting? Like in LSUA. You can have people volunteer if they want and then procced in producing a script. Then the letter could be signed with the name of the secret society, and our motto. And if you wanted to have a special shout out you could include a P.S. written up by Tocuna. I bet Handler would love it if you included a short biography of yourself. What is the motto of this secret society? Anyway, it will be fun to send him a mysterious VFD letter. I'm going to need some help with the script, but the biography I can write by myself. "I live in a small town that may well soon be a large dust heap..." Those things are fun to write.

I'd love to help in any way possible, as long as it's a letter we're sending, rather than an e-mail.

Hmm. Good idea. Add "Clementine" at the end of the list

Put like a fact-file of the organization. Say how many members, motto, last known location (URL), Previous Leaders, etc, etc...

I think the letter will include that neat intro Swans wrote, my biography-like thingy, the list of questions, and various random documents and photos. And for information on this secret society, I'd just need the forum statistics. The "leaders" would be the mods. What should our motto be?

Good idea, although perhaps it could be phrased better as "The truth often isn't happy."
Here's my little biography blurb:
"I have been, at various times, called a nerd, a freak, a saint, several words inappropriate for a children's book, and late to history class once or twice. I live in a small town that I fear may soon be a large dust heap. I list my birthdate as "non-applicable" and most of my personal data as "declined to state". My hobbies include ennui, regret, depression, and underwater basket weaving."

Good idea! As Celinra said, we did this a few months ago, and are awaiting a reply sometime next month. However, I like this idea more, as it feels distinctly more Snicketish. In our letter, we also included a link to the forum.
Could you please add "Kelsea" or "K." as an associate?
I'd love to include a transcript, or rather, only half a transcript, and say the other part is hidden under the doormat at the house down the street or the like.

You should cook up an elaborate story about how you got his address, too, like in TUA. Like say something like this:
"In vain I have struggled! It will not do! I must tell you how ardently I admire and love you!"
Oh wait... that was just crap from P&P. Curse you, swans!
"The members of our secret society have long been aware of the books of a certain Lemony Snicket, though contacting him has been previously impossible due to circumstances beyond our control including having our headquarters invaded by some famous bears, being chased by angry headmistresses threatening to beat us ever so senseless, and requiring your actual mail address. This information was thankfully provided us when a woman who looked suspiciously like a man left a package on the doorstep of our lair. This packaged contained a few mysterious objects: a picture of a young man wandering among some hedges, the fragments of a teacup, and a scrap of paper containing Daniel Handler's address. We quickly researched to find out who this Mr. Handler was, and ran across several left-wing-Christian organizations who claimed they knew nothing of this Mr. Handler, but had instead gathered a great deal of information on a certain Lemony Snicket. Our associate J, recounted that she spoke with a balding old man who told her that many years ago he had met clandestinely with a man who chose to give no name other than "Snicket" and had been awaked to the dangers of absinthe, satanic cults and croquet mallets. He briefly explained that Mr. Snicket had twelve tweed suits, only two of which he actually wore. We are not sure how reliable this information was, but our member, J, seemed to think it was important. We are therefore sending this to the address we've recieved, in hopes that this will make it to the hands of either Mr. Snicket, or Mr. Handler, his esteemed representative.
Okay, so that wasn't nearly as good as what Snicket wrote, but you get the idea.
Also, if you could ask him some questions about Brett Helquist, or at least mention that he's greatly appreciated by the artistic members of this society, that would be super (like superman)!
Anyway, this sounds so cool. If you plan on including me, I wouldn't mind being A.
