Well, it's true, but it'd rather ruin the suspension of disbelief in the last book if such a note were included.

hmm. Any new interesting author trackers lately? (I really need to check my yahoo email) it wouldn't seem so. At least we have complete wreck pictures of book 13 scenes though. 89 days to go..

We should be getting this month's AuthorTracker soon, though. They come out on average about mid-month, and it's the 17th now. So I'd expect the next one any day now, really. |

Almost certainly; the look of it is right, and we've inferred from the U.A. and TSS that Count Olaf managed to capture all the other reptiles, so since there's just the one... And the Incredibly Deadly Viper we've figured was on the Prospero, heading out to sea, which is the right direction.

I haven't got any Author Tracker and don't they usually send them out by now or around this time?

I haven't got any Author Tracker and don't they usually send them out by now or around this time? They usually send them out mid-month unless something special is happening, like April 1st or the break-up for the summer holidays (in America; I'm still in school until Friday). So far they've been, in chronological order, on the 13th, 21st, 16th, 1st, 15th, and 21st. So it would be quite without precedent for one to be later than Friday, although they could be trying to balance it out by having one late one, or waiting to release some particular piece of information (as I'm sure none of us really want another filler AuthorTracker, as the last one really was; the TBL quote was nice, but let's face it, it was one sentence in a bunch of stuff that didn't need saying). Edit: Also, some people - such as myself - don't get them until hours after a lot of other people do, so sometimes I wonder if an AuthorTracker has been sent but nobody's been online to post it yet before I have to leave for the night. I usually don't actually receive them until about midnight by my time. |

I just checked e-mail. Nothing from HC. If it's not here by now, it won't be. I usually get them early-mid afternoon too.

It's like they're reading what we say and then do something different to surprise us. Usuallly Author-trackers come early to mid afternoon. This one arrived at 5 PM
July 2006
Dear Reader,
In less than three months, The End will be here. Will the Baudelaire children survive the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events? Will bookstores everywhere be stormed by angry mobs? Will nobility prevail? Will Beatrice, to whom Lemony Snicket has dedicated every book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, miraculously return? Will the world lie in blubbering ruins?
Alarmingly, one or more of these questions might be answered sooner than you think. On September 5, a matter of weeks before the publication of The End, Lemony Snicket will release The Beatrice Letters, an unbearably private collection of personal correspondence. Including a note passed in class, a startling telegram, a coded sonnet, and a desperate plea for assistance between Mr. Snicket and Beatrice, the trove of evidence starts long before The Bad Beginning and extends far beyond The End.
Thousands have already downloaded and sought to complete "13 Shocking Secrets You'll Wish You Never Knew About Lemony Snicket," hoping to be ready for the final installment in A Series of Unfortunate Events. The Beatrice Letters suggests that there is at least one -- and possibly two -- more secrets you need to know.
Don't you wish we hadn't mentioned it?
With all due respect,
HarperCollins Publishers

It's rather nice that we've finally got one, as they've rather left us in suspense for some time(like you said, they may well be reading our posts and trying to defy our expectations by delaying these somewhat). And I haven't got it, but I seem to get these rather late.
This one looks like filler, although it's pretty well-written for something fairly uninformative. The general TBL information, however, is interesting.

I haven't gotten it yet.
I'm excited for the coded sonnet. And for Beatrice Letters in general, I guess.

What intrigued me most was "long before tbb and far beyond the end".
Before tbb I expected, but Beatrice Letters after the end? Why, it almost sounds as if...
