After some thought, I've revised my four images into Snicketmail format.

Would anyone like me to illustrate any of their questions, and if so, is there a particular drawing you have in mind?

if you want to do my hug one that would be great. i had an idea of it being something like this i49.tinypic.com/wlznut.pngsad lemony at a desk, and someone else in the door, reaching out to him, or gesturing. i don't know how well that works with the snicketmail format, would it work with the person in the doorway first, then the question in the middle then sad lemony at the bottom? also if possible, same picture for the other hug question, but with an even sadder lemony ;D

I seem to recall Sherry Ann noting that, within a week of the deadline (i.e. Mr. Handler's birthday on the 28th, or preferably the day before), it would be expedient to open up all questions to completion by any artist in order to accelerate progress.

I think it should be as follows, with about nineteen questions yet unillustrated, although Sherry Ann may have more up-to-date records:
43 Wrong Questions
1. May we ask you a few questions? [Anka] 2. Have you ever tried writing happy stories? [Charlie Snicket]
3. Did your plan backfire? [Tryina] 4. Has Jerome Squalor ever been illustrated? [Emma Squalor] 5. Did you ever learn Esmé Squalor's maiden name? [Emma Squalor]
6. Is there an Indonesian branch of V.F.D? [Tryina] 7. Is the librarian's weeping due to a dust allergy? [Sherry Ann][/b]
8. Why does S. Theodora Markson support a destructive and unsustainable drilling industry? [Antenora]
9. Does the S stand for something important? [Anka]
10. How many arms does an octopus actually need? [Terry Craig] 11. Are Sir and Charles gay as maypoles? [LSWannaBe] 12. As someone who has now spent a few years on the other side of forty, what is over that hill and is there a Starbucks? [Pandora]
13. Was it coffee, or black ink, that made the jacket's stain? [Dante]
14. What did you drink last night? [MisterM]
15. What is the name of Ellington's Father? [Lucas]
16. Is it true that Ellington Feint is the spawn of the Bombinating Beast? [Antenora] 17. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? [Teleram]
18. How many trained bats does it take to change a lightbulb? [F.D.] 19. How many grains of sugar make a heap? [Hermes]
20. If the sugar bowl does not contain sugar, does the Bombinating Beast not contain pepper, or salt? [Dante] 21. If variety is the spice of life, what goes well with Fettucine Alfredo? [Sixteen]
22. If a stitch in time saves nine, how many stitches will it take to save the best for last? [Sixteen]
23. Can a chimaera bombinating in a vacuum eat second intentions? [Hermes]
24. Should I have a mustache? [Willis] 25. I've been told I'm extremely passive-aggressive, what would you advise me? If you don't find my question interesting enough, it's fine really. Just do whatever you like. Like you always do. [thedoctororwell] 26. In many ways Flannery Culp is my hero and an inspiration; should I consider seeking professional help or should I just invest in a croquet set? [Pandora] 27. While I know you prefer the aesthetic and ideological embraces you've already received from your readers, and distrust physical embraces from those you don't know very well, I trust enough time has passed since my previous offer that I am no longer a stranger, and furthermore, with this new information coming to light about the ordeals of your youth, I feel compelled to ask again, would you like a hug? [BSam]
28. Why shouldn't you answer a rhetorical question? [Terry Craig] 29. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? [Pandora] 30. If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody care ? [thedoctororwell]
31. If a Snicket falls in a forest and only Ellington Feint is around, does he bombinate? [Q.R.V.]
32. If an author speaks his mind in a forest, and no editors are around to hear him, is he still out of line? [Lemona Snicket] 33. Are you sure it is wise to answer this question? [Lemona Snicket] 34. If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise? [Charlie Snicket] 35. If there's nothing out there, who is that ringing my doorbell? [Sherry Ann]
36. If there's nothing out there, then who could that be at this hour? [Q.R.V.]
37. When will it all end? [Charlie Snicket]

Thanks! Are all the questions open now or not?

I'd wait for Sherry Ann's judgement, but you can always PM the person whose question you're thinking of illustrating.

Thank you for posting the updated list, Dante, and for the great effort everyone else has made in illustrating. Any question not in red or scratched out is officially fair game for anyone who wants to try their hand at illustrating, although you should probably post that you intend to do so such that there are no repeats.

I'd like to do #12, unless Pandora objects or it is the one Anka was eyeing.

Rather than asking in the thread if you can illustrate someone's questions, I'd either PM them or just go for it. Time is getting a little tight.
