I will start answering your questions now.
Please remember that if I do choose to answer your question, you will most likely not enjoy the answer. I suggest you look at some ponies instead.

If you wish, you may direct questions to my siblings as well.

My Dear Lemony, I have five questions, and I shall number them to make them easier to answer.

1. If you gather research about the Baudelaires by going back to the places they visited and gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, it makes that you konw what they did and what happened to them while they were in those locations, but how is it possibly that you know exactly what they said to each other, especially when they were alone?

2. Do you hate me after what I said yesterday? ;_;

3. I asked your brother this, but he hasn't yet answered me, so I was wondering if you could. You have a tendency to go into extreme detail about the interests of the Baudelaire children and things that they would most enjoy if they were given gifts, and yet you have never written any hobbies or interests that you have. What would you most like to receive as a gift?

4. Did I mention how sorry I am?

5. As someone who cares about you very much, however much of that statement you choose to believe, I must inform you that one of your facts in Book the Eighth, The Hostile Hospital, were incorrect. I consider myself an expert on fairy tales, especially those involving princesses, and when you summarized the story of "Sleeping Beauty," you mentioned that it was about a foolish princess who caused a which to put a curse on her. I'm afraid this isn't quite true, and it was the princess's parents that caused the witch to curse her by not inviting the witch to the party celebrating their daughter's birth. I'm afraid the Princess Aurora as a baby was not nearly as intellegent or capable as Sunny Baudelaire and therefore could no do much more than sit in her cradle and giggle playfully or cry when she needed something, which was not enough to incur the sorceress's wrath. Did you realize this error when you retold this story? I'm sorry to say that if you get you facts wrong like that, even if they do seem unimportant, people may not believe some of the things you say about the Baudelaire children either.

P.S. I'm terribly sorry. ;_;

I have not recieved gifts in a very long time, and even if you were to try to send me one, it would most likely not reach me, as I am constantly on the run. However, if you feel you must contact me, you may do so through my publisher, HarperCollins. The address is at my website.

I encourage you, however, to not send anything that could possibly be used as evidence against me or yourself.

As to your observation about Sleeping Beauty - I admit that, as a young child, the princess most likely had very little idea what was going on, let alone had a hand in her misfortune... THEN. Rather like how I, having dedicated my life to a woman who I loved very much and to fighting fires, suddenly found myself without the woman I loved very much and framed for arson, through no fault of my own.

However.

As the princess got older, I'm sure her parents told her about the curse and warned to be careful, as any loving parents would do. It was rather foolish of the princess to venture off to a secluded tower all by herself and trust an old woman whom she'd never seen before. If your parents have taught you anything, I hope it is that you should always tell someone where you are going and never talk to strangers. A more astute princess - the word "astute" here meaning "able to see the wisdom in her parents' words" - would never have had her finder pricked by that needle, thereby sparing everyone in the castle a whole lot of lost time.

And as far as what you said yesterday goes... I would rather not talk about it.

Actually, her parents gave her to the three good fairies until she came of age so that she would be out of danger and never know about the curse. If anyone was foolish in the situation, it was probably her parents.

By the way, I'm assuming you hate me because you skipped that question, I sent you a teddy bear through HarperCollins. I hope you like it. You can hug when you feel sad. ;_;
