I know there is a similar thread but it is too old and I don't want to bump it. I placed everything in Leeds, United Kingdom.It is Baudelaires' hometown in my ficverse. Where is yours? I know a lot of people who placed it in Boston or San-Francisco.

Mine takes place in this fictional city based on my neighbourhood on The Sims 2. The name of the city is just simply The City like in the books. It is somewhere near California. But a few characters were born in real places, like the Denouement triplets are from Boston and the Snicket siblings are from San Francisco.

In my ficverse there some characters from America. For example, Luiz(the bald guy from Count Olaf's theatre troupe) is from Brazil.

Mine started out taking place in Boston, as in the movie. However, when I started doing that crossover RP with Emma Squalor, I ended up moving it to San Francisco - since that's where she sets hers. Mine also takes place between autumn of 1981 and spring of 1983.

Any special reason for Leeds, colette? My parents live near there. (But it's not on the sea.)
For me it's a sort of alternate universe San Francisco - that seems to fit best with what we know about it. (Though there is a picture in TUA which confuses matters a bit - it suggests that Daniel Handler lives in San Francisco, and that VFD members aren't immediately familar with it, which would be odd if it were where they all lived.)

Mine also takes place between autumn of 1981 and spring of 1983. I'm glad to know that our RP had an inspiration on your ficverse. Before setting the events in San Francisco, I had semi-concluded that they took place in New York City, as I mentioned Jerome's father's place of business being on Wall-Street. For me it's a sort of alternate universe San Francisco - that seems to fit best with what we know about it. (Though there is a picture in TUA which confuses matters a bit - it suggests that Daniel Handler lives in San Francisco, and that VFD members aren't immediately familar with it, which would be odd if it were where they all lived.) I think an alternate San Francisco would work for me, too, since I've mentioned before in fanfic that it snows regularly in the wintertime. While all of the characters in my ficverse reside in San Francisco, some were born outside of the United States. Such as Fernald, who grew up in London, England, and Colette, who lived in France until she was nine.

It practically never snows in actual San Francisco. San Francisco has what you call a temperate climate. Never too hot in summer and never too cold in winter.

Yeah, I figured that was pretty much the case, when it occurred to me that San Francisco is in California, which has year-round sand instead of seasonal snow.

That seems to fit the books quite well - we know that the last few books do actually take place in wintertime, because of the False Spring scene in TSS, but there's no sign of it in the City.

In your universes, how does Olaf come to be a count?

In mine, he's not a real count.

In my Ficverse, the events of ASOUE take place in 1948 (Year of the Rat) starting with The Bad Beginning, Reptile Room, Wide Window, Miserable Mill, Austere Academy and Ersatz Elevator. The second part takes place a month or so after the New Year when Klaus turns 13 and Violet 15 during the events of The Vile Village, Hostile Hospital, Carnivorous Carnival, Slippery Slope, Grim Grotto, Penultimate Peril and The End. Chapter Fourteen takes place a year after in 1950.
