Greetings, fellow Volunteers (both noble and villainous).
My name’s Andrew – and I have been a fan of the Snicket-universe for sometime now.
I’ve read from ‘The Bad Beginning’ to ‘The End’, ‘The Unauthorised Autobiography’ and the four volumes (or reports) of the ‘All the Wrong Questions’ series. I’ve ordered both ‘The Beatrice Letters’ and ‘File Under: 13 Suspicious Incidents’ – I’m looking forward to reading them both ASAP. I find myself always curious and thinking about the series on a daily basis, the connections between characters, the V.F.D. and what’s in the Sugar Bowl. I’ve read everything (fairly certain) on the ‘Snicket Slueth’ tumblr page and many, many of the posts on this forum.
I’ve found it difficult to engage with the Snicket fanbase especially on Twitter, where Snicket-self-described-super-fans only seem to talk to themselves, answering their own questions. It’s rather strange – but here I am. Like all of you, I’m looking forward to Season Two of the Netflix series.
If there’s anything you would like to know – feel free to ask me (I’m an open book).

Hello Dionysus, and welcome to 667. That's a strange experience - I've never interacted with Snicketologists on Twitter, but it doesn't accord with my experiences on this forum. Generally when we ask a question, others will provide lots of different answers. The Snicket Sleuth is a wonderful blog, isn't it - the author is on this forum as thedoctororwell. We're also very hyped about the Netflix series - especially the latest trailer, released today. It's nice to hear you've read ATWQ (All the Wrong Questions), and File Under is one of my favourite Snicket books so hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Hi Dionysus! Would you prefer to be called by your screenname or your given name? =)
As a sometimes dedicated member here, I might be a bit biased, but I think this is absolutely the best place on the internet for Snicket discussion. I've found that Snicket fans can be a little sparse on other sites, which is possibly why they've resorted to talking to themselves rather than among themselves. Luckily, there's lots of great people to talk to here!
You can absolutely look forward to reading TBL and FU:13! I agree with Gliquey's recommendation of File Under, it has some great stories that enhance the world of the books pretty well. However, The Beatrice Letters has, in my opinion, some of the best rethorical pearls of the whole series. Anyway, hope you'll like both books, obviously - and I hope you'll enjoy being on 667 Dark Avenue!
