Edit: Submissions are now CLOSED.
Having been in touch with the right people and asking the right questions as of late, I'm really delighted to announce that as a forum we have the opportunity in these coming months to assemble a list of questions for Daniel Handler with promise of answers.
Something worth asking about All the Wrong Questions? Dying for answers regarding the Netflix series? Or maybe you simply just want to hear Handler's reflections on 667, life and the universe? Now is a unique opportunity to do so.
Anyone who has an account here is welcome to submit as many questions as they wish. I will assemble a small team of trusted associates in choosing the best ones, and these will be sent to him. I've set a deadline for mid-June for submission, so please try to have all your questions submitted either here or in a PM to me by 31st of May.
Good luck!

This is a fantastic opportunity which wouldn't have come about without Bee's drive and commitment to the plan, and I'd like to lend her my thanks and support here. Don't let us down; ask all the very best questions you've been saving up for a rainy day! If you think they might get a good answer, that's even better!

Oh gosh! Thanks, Bee, this is an amazing achievement.
I now can't think of any questions. I had some questions on WWBU prepared a few years ago, but now I can't remember them.

Thank you very much for this! It's most appreciated As Dante says to ask the questions we've been saving for a rainy day, and there's rain and thunder outside, I think I ought to accumulate some.

How should questions be done? Short and brief? Long and elaborate? Anyway these are some questions I always wanted to do to him. If it's too long, they can be shorter:
"As a native Spanish speaker fan who followed ASOUE since the very beginning, I suffered when I was a child (and also a grown up) because we never got the whole series translated and the ones that were translated were really hard to find and, sometimes, inaccurate in comparison with the originals. Nowadays they're unobteinable and even when I know the books of ATWQ are being translated I can't find them anywhere, not even online. As a Literature student and translator-wanna-be, my questions are: have you ever been consulted or been involved in the translation of your books? What is your opinion on translation in general? Do you speak another language? Are you conscious of the hardships to translate your books due your particular style, full of elaborate linguistic jokes and excellent use of the English language? Is Mr. Snicket behind the difficulty to obtain copies of the books in Spanish?"

How should questions be done? Short and brief? Long and elaborate? Don't worry about that right now. At present there isn't really a set format.
