If I'm on the 6th book...

would it be okay to read this without spoiling it? - 70.71.202.54 19:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but I have a question. Lemony Snicket was writing a letter to Kit Snicket about writing the stories of the Bauldelaires and selling them as books to the public in the unauthorized autobiography. However, in the Beatrice letters, it is said that Lemony started researching the Bauldelaires and writing the books because of his niece, Beatrice. If Beatrice was indeed old enough to write letters to her uncle, then when she was writing the letters, it must've happened after the 13th book, after Kit died. If this was so, why would Lemony write to his sister when he knew she died(because Lemony must've found out she died- he was the one writing the 13th book.)

"However, in the Beatrice letters, it is said that Lemony started researching the Bauldelaires and writing the books because of his niece, Beatrice" - no it wasn't, and it wasn't even implied, that's people making connections that aren't there. If Lemony was writing the books to help young Beatrice, they'd tell her where the Baudelaires are now, which is what she repeatedly asked - she never expresses an interest in their past.

I thought that he started writing the books as a way of tracking the children of his love, Beatrice Baudelaire, or something like that.

Fair use rationale for Image:LemonySnicketUA.PNG

Image:LemonySnicketUA.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
