The End?
Menacing Miscellanous has been fairly quiet this week; no themes, no fights, nada. Really, the most posted –in thread is the Halloween thread. But could this be a sign, ask some, an omen of the eventual decline and fall of 667 Dark Avenue? But to the pessimists I say, go see Chaotic Creativity. That melting pot of ideas is veritably buzzing with exciting new stories. Even Burdensome Books is more active than it’s been for ages, thanks to Book the Twelfth. So are the fan fiction boards; inspired by Snicket’s largesse, they’re full of new ideas, new stories.
No, I think the end is still quite far away. We’re a tough breed, us 667ers, we’re not about to be made extinct by the ravages of Time. And, of course, as Antenora once sagely said about the forum: “You can log out anytime you like, but you can never leave.”

WTF?
A column with Dupin.
TOP STORY: No ideas this week?
Sensational news broke out a few minutes ago, when Dupin revealed to himself that he can’t actually think of anything to put this week’s instalment of ‘WTF?’, his article for the best-selling 667 Dark Avenue newspaper, The 667er.
Dupin-real name George-was reminded to write his article by fellow writer and 667 member PJ, who was having the same difficulty thinking of a subject of his weekly rants, which the readers of the newspaper are big fans of. Dupin then thought about writing an article on book the twelfth, only to assume that everyone else may be writing such a thing, and couldn’t add anything to it.
Not wanting to give up on an article for the week, Dupin decided to write an article about how he had no ideas this week. Why? We have a quote from Dupin:
‘I don’t know why. Maybe this is my idea of entertainment, or maybe I just don’t want to let the editor down.’
More on this story as we receive it.
‘MORE ON THIS STORY’ of the week
More sensational news broke out a few seconds ago, as Dupin has announced that the rest of this week’s ‘WTF?’ will make very little sense, and will make very little amounts of people smile.
‘RANDOM FANFICTION EXCERPT OF THE WEEK’
“ ‘It doesn’t matter,’ Akbar said, and lowered the gun. Pandora gave a sigh of relief, but looked around giving a huge shrill scream, stretching the top of her voice to try and get someone’s attention. Akbar raised an eyebrow, and raised his gun.
‘Shut up!’ he cried. Pandora continued for a second more, before Akbar fired a shot away from her. She quietened down and stared at him with a scared face.”
-‘Missing’ Volume Five (Observation Part Two) Yet to be released.
OMG DUPIN IS COPYING PJ OF THE WEEK
Time for a rant. I don’t like it when people don’t write me into 667 stories. I think there’s been about one where I’ve actually had a decent role (and when I haven’t just been an extra after I’ve complained). It makes me sad, and I drown myself in tears. Now, I know that I should wear sun tan lotion down the beach, and my skin is being threatened by global warming just as much as everyone else’s, but I think that factor 40 is a little much. We want a tan, not a pale face. I have a pale face, and people laugh at me and my non-tan. People laugh at my height.
I’m short. I have a cold and it gives me unusual urges to sniff. My cat won’t be quiet. My brother’s playing a very not catchy drum rhythm upstairs.
(ps: I’m not trying to parody or be offensive to anyone by this rant)
THE ‘RANDOM VERSE OF NO INSPIRATION OF THE WEEK’
‘Antenora,’ said the camel as she sat upon the hump.
‘I’m getting rather dreary and I’ve had quite a nasty bump.’
Antenora checked it, and there was quite a bruise.
‘Surely I’ve not mistreated you, there could be quite a ruse.’
