I have a strange feeling that 12 is gonna be calle the "Horrible Hotel" or something that ends in "Hotel", because of the latest letters to the editor in book eleven.Lookie at the top of the papers.

True. The main reason we think he won't is because:
1. In eleven books, he's yet to re-use any title initials.
And then there's the reasons specifically pertaining to ourselves:
2. We all have some sort of obsessive-compulsive complex or autistic tendency and if he re-used title initials then it would make us go mad and want to tear it up. The same way I always have to put packets of cards in order.
3. It would make it more difficult to know which book we were referring to when using title initials (TSS, etc.).

It would be a conspiracy to make us type better. |

If some title initials are re-used, then the simple fact that the same letters are used twice will annoy me forever. |

Next? More like NOW. Not that I'm pressing you or anything...  I want to know the title just as much as anyone else. But I don't want to be too pushy. The folks at Harper-Collins have been very accomodating to me so far. I'm afraid to push too hard and they stop answering my e-mails. But don't worry, I will keep asking for information. |

Aye. You can't push these contacts too far. After all, it's you who needs them, not the other way around. In most cases, anyway.

Ha. Whenever I see 'accomodating' whatever words of the snow scout pledge I can remember float through my head. Including the snowy sound effects at the end.

But that really doesn't count as blank book isn't a real part of the actual series...
