Hello, fellow unfortunate beings,
Against better advice, I find myself once again entranced by the trials of the Baudelaires, just as I was since middle school. Another copy of Snicket's miserable tale sits in my bag as I type this. And so, I have registered with 667 Dark Avenue to share my misery with the rest of you.
In other news, I'm a multi-linguist with a ravenous appetite for murder mysteries, and currently hoping to write one sometime this year. I read voraciously and I would love to draw like Brett Helquist. Oh- and I am probably one of the few people I know who can listen to literally any piece of music under the sun.

Hi didoademola! ...wait, how should we call you?
It's always great to have new people around! Hope you have fun with us, you just came to see the Darkies Award presentations next week and in June we'll have our very own Big Brother edition with Snicket fans from other communities.
Multi-linguist? That's really interesting, I'm a student of Linguistics and Literature!
What else can you tell us about yourself? How old are you? Where are you from?

Hi and welcome! Linguists and other language afficionados tend to be cool and interesting people, in my experience. I aspire to be one myself. Which languages do you speak?
Also, have you been following the development of the ASoUE Netflix series? What do you think so far? =)

Haha, just Dido is fine. I'm British and 21. Yes, I aspire to become a foreign language editor, probably for a company. French is my main language and I hope to add Latin, Arabic, Wolof, Italian and possibly Russian to my list.

Hi there, I'm also multi-linguist who loves to draw. Working as an an editor is something I'm seriously considering as well.
I don't speak as many languages as you do, though. Six is really impressive, even if you're not fluent in all of them.
Also, I take it that you drew your profile pic? Looks wicked.
Hope ya like it here.
