In case you didn't see it, I sent Daniel Handler a birthday gift last month. It included fan art from several people here at 667 along with a card and t-shirt I made for him. Today I got a reply from him! He sent a Polaroid picture of him wearing the shirt. In typical Lemony Snicket fashion, his back is to the camera and most of his head is cut off, but you can tell it's him. On the bottom, he wrote "Your site scares me", so I think we can be sure that he has been to our little forum here. (I hate it when it's the middle of the afternoon and no one else is online, but I just had to share the fabulous news!)

I'm online, and that's fantastic, Gigi! Gah, I envy you so much now...Do you have/could you get access to a scanner? I really would like to see this, and bask in the glow of your luckiness.
Hmm. I wonder which part of the site scared him...And, I do hope he didn't go to the Fearsome Fanfiction section...

That is cool! I second the scanner comment. It was probably our devotion to the books that scared him.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone with my "no one else is online" crack.
I do have a scanner and I did scan the picture right before I put it in a protective plastic sleeve (who's obsessed?). I'll post it later.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone with my "no one else is online" crack. I wasn't offended. I just thought that would be a snazzy opening line. And, yay!

I'm online(although it's later now) and that is wonderful. I can't wait to see the picture.
Our site scares him, huh? I always thought it would. It scares me too sometimes.

Here is Mr. Handler wearing the t-shirt I made him for his birthday. I've changed my avatar too. Do you like it?

That is extremely amusing. Poor Mr. Snicket/Handler. If I were him, I would be scared of this site too. The picture made a great avatar, Gigi.

It's a nice shirt, and the captioned photo is hilarious.
I feel sort of proud for my part in the Handler-frightening.

Wowie.
Did you send it to his address or to his publishers? For I wouldn't have thought it would have got through if you had sent it to his publishers, but if you did... It show how much I know.

If he read anythin else...like Luna's Grind House he would be scared. Not to mention all the smut...I wonder if he's read any of the theories? Perhaps he reads them and then does the exact OPPOSITE just to surprise us....

Hooray! I am so excited for you (and jealous). That was really quick. I am very obsessed too. I am thinking. Hmmm. He's wearing jeans. I wonder what kind. And a belt. And where's he at, his house? Who took the picture? His wife? If I send him some underwear, will he send me a picture of himself wearing them?
