Is it just me, or is the TIME interview link not working?

Is it just me, or is the TIME interview link not working? It's loading for me, but very slowly. I'll add a link to Akbar's type-up to my list on the front page. |

Another H-C e-newsletter (Hot@Harper) mentioning The End. Not really notable, except for their editing error, leaving in the heading for The Righteous Men.  |

Some of us are trying to avoid reading the CNN article (like me). Dante moved the first link to the Spoilers thread just for that reason. Please don't post any more spoilers from articles, even if you don't have the actual book. This thread is for OFFICIAL information (from the publisher, not the news media).

My apologies! I'll move my post to the Spoilers thread...

Thank you so much!
Dante, Snicketfires and I should maybe look at revising our guidelines for spoilers in this last week before The End.

The CNN article really doesn't say anything of great importance

But it does have information that did not come from H-C. I just don't think we should risk people getting spoiled if they don't want to be. Even little bits of information.

Iono if this had been mentioned yet, but this had just popped into my head, as an end theory.
After landing the SSHAMH on Briny beach to speak with SNicket for the final time, The Bauds, after stowing Olaf in a private balloon with locks all over, take off for the final time. After they fly away, apparently living happily ever after, Snicket draws attention to a small wire, emitting sparks .
20 years later, the book ends with Snicket in a graveyard with 5 gravestones lined in a row. The names are Violet Baudelaire, Klaus Baudelaire, Sunny Baudelaire, Bertrand Baudelaire, and the final one with a smudge over the first name, with the last being Baudelaire. Snicket reaches down and wipes the dirt away, revealing the name Beatrice Baudelaire. Snicket then walks slowly away, muttering: "Three lives filled with fire, both beginning and ending with it..."

The Tragic Treasury has just been released, and the songs can be heard here with Shipwrecked there too. The snippet doesn't say too much, but speaks of 'chopping off the crew's heads when bored' and 'taking off one's shirt just to flirt.' Strange...

The snippet doesn't say too much, but speaks of 'chopping off the crew's heads when bored' and 'taking off one's shirt just to flirt.' Strange... Actually, you misheard those lines; fortunately, TTT comes with a lyrics booklet, so there's no reason why anybody shouldn't be able to find out the lines - even if one person doesn't get TTT, they can ask me or someone else who has it. Also, I reported those excerpts ( among others) in PProducts's TTT thread a couple weeks ago; people could potentially have heard quite a few lines of Shipwrecked (and the other new songs) by now. Also, Shipwrecked, like most of the other songs on TTT, seems to take a single idea from its corresponding book and follow it in a new direction. Shipwrecked, for example, is essentially a love song; I'm not sure how much it can really tell us about The End (although I just came up with a possible new theory concerning Fernald using the lyrics). --- UE.com's added a new page with some TTT clips, downloads, games, a competition to win a copy of TTT, a competition to win a signed set of all thirteen books, and the promise of a future contest to win a V.F.D. t-shirt and a future Book 13 game. See them here. Edit: Gigi's pointed out that the terms and conditions of the contests don't restrict the nationality of the entrants, so apparently anyone can enter. |

Good, the masks are now available officially. They are probably better copies than the ones I scanned recently.
As for the contests, I read the terms and conditions, and they don't say you have to live in the UK to enter, so I did. The CD contest rules says that the winners will be the first 20 to submit the correct answer. Hurry if you're entering.

I didn't even notice the date! I was too busy looking for residency requirements. A typo I'm sure.
