"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?" terry, if hangfire is a thing fromt he new books which would make sense in this context, and you can add it to my question without it becoming (even more) unwieldy and over comma'd, then change it to that, otherwise i'm happy with the above being my question. Hangfire is the name of the villain of the new series, so I thought it'd make sense to give someone a hug, who's writing about someone as awful, etc, but in your case I guess I'd leave it at "the ordeals of your youth", since you haven't read the book yet. - Are introductions more irritating than footnotes? - Are you sure it is wise to answer this question? - Sir, what is this large black case doing in your luggage? [/i][/quote] Love these questions, especially the last one, which, I think, is referring to Daniel Handler's accordion suitcase. Oh, and another question maybe: Why should we NOT read your new series? [since it doesn't contain any warnings of horrible outcomes, and recommendations to stop reading, like ASoUE]. Alternatively we could ask: If you could spare your readers of being subjected to one series, which would it be: A Series of Unfortunate Events, or All The Wrong Questions? |

I think it would be funny if you said "Would you like a hug now?" Unless you were going for more subtlety. It's a reference to a previous competition where we managed to get questions answered by Handler and Snicket. I can't remember the full text of the question however. Dante, is that thread still around? Yeah that's what I meant. Haha "Now" since he declined your last offer. I didn't know if you were trying to be more subtle by just using the same question though. Edit: I tried but this was the only thing I could come up with "Am I bad at translating, or should I be legitimately concerned about my infantile relations trying to kill me?" |

Thanks, TC. Yes, the question is a reference to DH's issues with his accordion case on planes. He once said something along the lines of "the case looks like a bomb. It's been very difficult since 9/11 to travel with an accordion". I've probably phrased the quote all wrong, though.
