Confusing book and Netflix canon again are we? Yeah, I guess that's unfortunately typical of me despite I read the books too. Mind to help me fix it here?

The only things you mentioned that aren't book canon are Jacquelyn and Berlin "39".

Thank you! Am I missing something and the interview is limited to the books only? Would it be better if the adaptations were not mentioned? Resemblance

I think it should stick to the books, because Mr. Handler wouldn't have all decision making on the adaptations. I see, he participated in the series adaptation, but I understand. Sorry. I will edit the questions to books version if that is no problem.

Fabulous idea. I am not expecting to get a satisfying answer to any of these below though, must try it anyway. Somebody had/has to ever ask these officially. Are you planning on writing more ASOUE related work? There've been rumors, you're altready fed up with the ASOUE world. Was it ever determined which character is the Quagmire fire arsonist or was it just a move to make the Netflix adaptation more mysterious? What was kind of relationship did Lena Pukalie have with Count Olaf? Did you enjoy more writing ASOUE or ATWQ? What is Duchess R's relation to Jacquelyn Scieszka if there is any? I believe she was her adoptive mother. There's been a theory that there are dead VFD agents under the Baudelaire mansion. What do you think about it? Was Ms. Tench's reference to Berlin, '39' had anything to do with her personal preferences? Anything important for uss to know about the Baudelaire arsonist except they started the fire and their indentity is and may always remain unknown? I can tell you from experience that Mr Handler will not answer such questions about asoue, unless perhaps he plans to write more directly related to asoue, although he is unlikely to answer. If by chance he answers, the answer in short will be "no". I don't think he will be offended by that particular question, but with the other questions, he will not only refuse to answer, he will be offended as well. Unless you are an 11 year old. In this case he won't be offended, but he won't respond either.

Thank you very much for arranging this Resemblance. Excellent work. 1) What are the main differences you've found when it comes to writing for books, television, and the theatre? 2) Has anyone ever approached you about adapting the A Series of Unfortunate Events books into a non-film/tv related format, like a musical, graphic novel, or radio play?

What is so offensive and 11 years old kid about it? Not asking anything about himself, but being interested in the story? There have been many questions about the story and mysteries of it and he never seemed offended, so why would he be by particulary my questions?

I sent you a private message. I'm sorry I gave the wrong impression. I didn't mean to offend you. As for a person who asked a plot question who was 11 years old, this is a reference to what happened to R.. She started her question to Daniel Handler at an online event by saying something like "I'm 11 years old." Daniel Handler wasn't rude to her, out of respect for her age, but he didn't answer her question about Esmé and Carmelita anyway. This was quite different when I asked a question about a plot detail involving Beatrice. He was much more rude to me because I'm not 11, and I should already understand not only that Daniel Handler won't reveal the plot details but I should also understand his motives. My comments on your questions weren't meant to offend you... It was more a reaction to the events I've experienced and I wouldn't want anyone else to experience.

I have another question: "What really happened to Poison For Breakfast that took so long to get published? Other publishers refused to publish this particular work?" 'Who is behind the PFB illustrations?'

Something that has always fascinated me is Lemony Snicket's fictional target audience as he writes ASOUE. He seems to have written with the people of his universe in mind. But I've always wondered about Lemony Snicket books for young children. Would you say these books are written by Lemony for the children of his universe? Are these fictional stories from the Lemony universe?
The poem My Silence Knot is something beautiful and intriguing, and the entire book The Beatrice Letters seems to be a prelude to that poem. We know that both Daniel Handler and Lemony Snicket are fond of poetry. My Silence Knot proves they both write it very well. Can we ever hope for a book of poetry produced by one of them?(Something not aimed at small children, I mean.)

finally turning in some questions...
- What was the process of deciding where the Baudelaire children would go in each book like? Did you choose locations based on how many references you could make, or their general eeriness factor? - Was there a book in ASOUE that you found particularly easy or enjoyable to write? - Conversely, was there a book in ASOUE that you found difflicult to write? - Who DIDN'T start the Baudelaire fire? (A far more interesting question in my opinion.)

As we read the notes in The Bad Beginnings The Rare Edition, it's evident that you've already made some important decisions about the direction of the story. Since when had you decided that the Baudelaires' last adventure would be on an island?

In order to make The Grim Grotto book more believable, did you need to do real-world research on the workings of ancient radars and the action of some poisonous fungi?
