So far the letter includes: Swans' intro. The list of questions and/or various things you'd like to say to Lemony. Photos, journal entries, other neat documents. The statistics for our orginization: Members: 1570 and rapidly growing Leader: Tragedy (what is his real name?) Last seen at : asoue.proboards11.com Motto: The truth often isn't happy.

I think making a chat room is a good idea for how to make the script... it seems it'd be fun to do, as well.

I like the manuscript idea....for instance:
667 MANUSCRIPT INCLUDING J, K, AND G (Jess, Kelsea, and George)
J: We don't have much time. Our search for Lemony Snicket is limited.
G: But what do we do?
J: I don't know, but I'd stay hidden.
K: Of course.. Our enimies are getting closer and closer...will we ever find Mr. Snicket?
Quicky, crappy one, but you get the idea.

Tocuna, I'm flattered that you listed me as one of your hobbies.
We should put the motto into French:
La verite n'est pas souvent heureuse.
Or better still, Latin:
Verum saepe laetus non est.

Yes! Latin is always good! Put a translation underneath, though.

I'll look through some interviews to make sure that we don't ask questions that he won't answer, he can't answer, or have already been answered.
If the letter will be handwritten, why not put it on some parchment-like paper? It's easy. Dip a paper in tea overnight, let it dry, and singe the edges.
Is already doing the transcript, because I would like to volunteer a document, if it's possible.

I'd rather type it, but maybe I can find a font that would make it look like it came from a typewriter.
Since the letter will be a collection of documents, I decided to write an introduction explaining where I got them, as well as my bio:
"The last time my acquaintances and I met(which may well be the very last time), I was handed several of these documents which we think you should see. Others I collected from various sources, which, in order to protect the supposedly innocent, I will not specify. Others I just wrote up myself. I hope that they arrive safely and shed some light on the mystery surrounding us all, and whatever else you want light shed on.
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.
As sincerely as is appropriate, E"

Surely you should sign off "With all due respect"?

Yah, I think "With All Due Respect" will be better. More Snicketlyish (if thats a word ;D)

"Snicketlyish" is a word now.
I should indeed close it in true VFD fashion, and put "The world is quiet here" at the end.

Who has more questions for Daniel Handler? I'm hoping to compile a long list.
I've decided to type this letter up in Courier font, which looks a bit like a typewriter's lettering. When should I begin making the official letter?

Make drafts so that we can add as we get more questions and for spelling and all that and also so we can move stuff away as it fits.
