Handler lurks or I'm sure someone with the publishing company lurks because that's generally how they do research for new products, and they can see how the audience reacts to a certain storyline. At first I thought we'd probably really grate on Handler but after reading some of his interviews I bet some of our theories, fics etc really make him laugh. He seems like a light-hearted individual who doesn't take offense to things.. and he's probably delighted so many kids look up all the literary references. I expect he does, if I were an auther I certainly would, I mean a successful one. I would want to know how the fans reacted to my books, see how close they were to figuring out my next chunk of storyline. I often thought about JK lurking on HP forums as well, lol.

If Handler ever comes here, I bet he wold have a seizure upon hearing that some readers think the series takes place in Antlantis...seriously, though, I wouldn't doubt he takes a peek here now and then, or has somebody to do it for him, but I'll bet anything he's too busy to be a regular poster on some fan-crazy message board.

I doubt it. A rich author can't really have time to do this. But, it is a possibility. Because everytime I search for, 'A Series of Unfortunate Events Message Boards' on Google 667 is the first thing.

He could be anyone. Me,swans,Tragedy,some newbie that just joined five minutes ago or a guest. I seriously hope he does not look in fearsome fiction though. Think what could happen if he did research for book 12 in fearsome fiction! "And then, after violet stopped kissing klaus,quigley fell into a woodchipper." Maybe we should stop. Nah,I liked dropping Quigley into a woodchipper.

This is making me paranoid. It's likely that he comes here, just never posts because if anyone found out it was him, 667 would fall to pieces because of all the pandamonium. I can just imagine him reading our creepy/sick/twisted/weird/violent fan-fics. The poor man... *randomly checks everybody's profile* Heh. ^^;

Asleia's fics would probably scare him to death. I wonder if he knows about all the Baudcest?

Well, I don't know much about his other books. Was it the Basic eight or was it Watch your Mouth?

Watch Your Mouth. Although to be honest, I haven't read either. I just know the basic plot. I've read it. It's good, you can tell it's written by the same author. Do you want a plot summary?

It's not *that* good. The Basic Eight is much better I haven't read TB8, so I am entitled to my opinion about how good WYM is.

It's obviously not true, but one day me 'n Jasmin 'n elise (I wonder why she's not posting) were discussing the next book:
Me: I wonder what the next book will be about... Elise: We all do. Where do you think he gets his ideas? Me: *Shrugs* You really should visit 667 more often. They have all the theories there. Jazz: Hmmnnn... Elise: What about you, Jazz? Jazz: You know what I think? I think Mr-Daneil-Handler-Lemony-Snicket lurks in 667 and purposfully doesn't do anything they theorise. Is that even a word? Me: You have a point...
'Jazz's theorie is most likely incorrect, because we theorize so many thing that it'd be impossible to not do every thing. BUt maybe he makes a point of trying not to do what we theorize...

But if Daniel Handler says that he is in fact here, no one would believe him. They would just say something like, "Please, we know you aren't Daniel Handler." So no one would even know. What's the point?? I mean, for all you guys know, I could be him. I really could. I could be Daniel, typing aimlessly away on my laptop, posting theories and ideas that may or may not be true. Think about it. I could be him. You guys don't know.
With All Do Respect, mistersnicket
