Daniel Handler was at a book launch in London yesterday, and I actually got a chance to meet him in person. He gave a wonderful talk and then there was an open question platform, in which he gave me a truly extraordinary answer to my question, which was about deleted ATWQ concepts. Apparently Count Olaf was originally intended to feature prominently in ATWQ!! Afterwards he signed books, and I had my spare copy of PFB signed for my best friend who just had her 13th birthday.

That’s so exciting!!! Really interesting about Olaf. Did he say why he’d scrapped that idea?
I’m going to see him tomorrow in Oxford, and this has just made me even more excited haha

What an incredible moment, Roxy! I am very happy for you. Can we hear more details about how the event went?

"Please continue writing about Snicket Philosopher! I found philosophy boring until I read PFB!" Ooooh, I didn't even know he was in the UK! I should start paying some attention to the world around me. You're on your honeymoon, which by definition means you're in another world, albeit close.

Wow, that's so exciting. I wonder why the Olaf cameo was scrapped.

It's a shame that the PFB universe is so based on the real world... It would be interesting to see a version of each of the main characters of ASOUE in PFB sequels.

Will he ever publish them??
