I think there should be articles for both Lemony Snicket and Daniel Handler, since Snicket is a fictional character as well as a pseudonym. Lee M 17:54, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I concur. While Lemony Snicket the pseudonym may play the accordion I hope only Lemony Snicket the fictional character has walked up corridors made from skulls, raced volcanoes and had unfortunate things happen to the loves of his life. And I've only read up to the Miserable Mill!
I also Agree, The only reason Handler used the pseudonym was because he was creating a fictional character, he planned to use his own name, until the writer of the Baudilere books took on a life of his own.
Oh, and apparently Mr. Handler has worked in the band the 6ths too (along with half the indie pantheon of the mid-nineties and before, it would seem). sheridan 20:52, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Isn't Daniel Handler also a screenplay writer?

The name appears on the Lemony Snicket film credits - if you have information about other films that'd be of interestsheridan 18:50, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

[edit] When is a vandal not a vandal?

A recent vandal remarked "He is married to Lisa Brown." This actually appears to be true. Perhaps the vandal was trying to make amends? He (DH) met Brown, a graphic artist, at university, it would appear. Rich Farmbrough 21:34, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Should've checked on that. The same vandal wrote similar stuff in the Sex and the City article, so I assumed it was some schoolgirls trying to be cute saying one of them was married to this guy. – flamuraiTM 22:07, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)

He is married to Lisa Brown. What did the vandal actually do that was bad? General messing up pages? Anyway, yep, the vandal's right. LordMooCow 9:52, July 3, 2005 (GMT+10)

[edit] Very Long Intro

Daniel, as Lemony, has also done an intro to a very long titled book: "Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things That Aren't as Scary, Maybe, Depending on How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray Cellphones, Creatures from the Sky, Parents Who Disappear in Peru, a Man Named Lars Farf, and One Other Story We Couldn't Quite Finish, so Maybe You Could Help Us Out." I haven't seen the intro, and I don't know if it is noteworthy enough to put on here. Anybody else know? --JCoug 21:40, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Very Interesting Site

Althoug this site is only an encyclopedia, it is very fun. You can change around information which many people find amusing, just like what I have dont here. Wikipedia is a great place to do your school research, and to have a little fun with words!

[edit] more info

with all due respect, a fan/reader of your work

If you're trying to get in touch with Daniel Handler this is not the place to do it. He's not responsible for the content on this page. Hope you found the info you needed. --Grace 23:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Lemony Snicket

Lemony Snicket should be dedicated to the character of that name, while info on the writer using the pseudonym should be moved into this page. darkskyz 16:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. It'd be too confusing to mix and match the two articles. The only suggestion (if any) is to divide Lemony Snicket's article into seperate sections.--CyberGhostface 19:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Merging Handler and Snicket makes little sense, as Snicket is also a significant character in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and the distinction between Snicket as an author and Snicket as a character is highly blurry (if it even exists). It's so much simpler - and in my opinion, makes more sense - to keep information on Lemony Snicket on the Lemony Snicket page, and information about Daniel Handler on the Daniel handler page. 81.132.183.220 20:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Propose that, if votes against continue to dominate a fortnight after the original suggestion, we call this a majority against merging the articles and scrap the merge tags. 81.132.183.220 16:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't agree with the merge as the persona Lemony Snicket is an odd one that isn't just the pseudonym for the author but part of the story. It is thus quite hard to disentangle the two with a simple merge/redirect without messing up the Daniel Handler page. ps: I haven't actually read any of the books and have just watched the ASOUE movie on DVD so kind of neutral in view.

We Shouldn't merge Handler with Snicket. Instead, We should merge Snicket with Handler! Makes perfect sence! Dabeebo929 21:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
