[A Series of Unfortunate Events] May 2017 Challenge Celebration: 10k! 13k! 15k!
x ... to each book 13 chapters ... to this series 13 books ... a movie released in 2004 13 years ago ... premiered on Netflix 13th of January 2017 ... renewed for a second season 13th of March 2017 ... in the month of May 2017 13,000 POSTS ON A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS! (art source) Quote:
In May 2017, here at A Series of Unfortunate Events forum, we hosted a posting challenge. We had two goals: the first was 10,000 posts, and we reached it on May 5th. (art by sourburst) Our second and ultimate goal was to reach that all important number of 13,000 posts, and we reached it on May 17th. (art by BlondieLeigh) Since then, we have also reached another milestone, of 15,000 posts, on May 28th! (icons by BlondieLeigh) "Mr. Poe opened his mouth to say something, but erupted into a brief fit of coughing. “I have made arrangements,” he said finally, “for you to be raised by a distant relative of yours who lives on the other side of town. His name is Count Olaf." "At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey." "To those who hadn't been around Violet long, nothing would have seemed unusual, but those who knew her well knew that when she tied her hair up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes, it meant that the gears and levers of her inventing brain were whirring at top speed." "Klaus sighed, and opened a book, and as at so many other times when the middle Baudelaire child did not want to think about his circumstances, he began to read." "No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read." "I am very, very sorry to leave you hanging like that, but as I was writing the tale of the Baudelaire orphans, I happened to look at the clock and realized I was running late for a formal dinner party given by a friend of mine, Madame diLustro. Madame diLustro is a good friend, an excellent detective, and a fine cook, but she flies into a rage if you arrive even five minutes later than her invitation states, so you understand that I had to dash off. You must have thought, at the end of the previous chapter, that Sunny was dead and that this was the terrible thing that happened to the Baudelaires at Uncle Monty's house, but I promise you Sunny survives this particular episode." "There are many, many types of books in the world, which makes good sense, because there are many, many types of people, and everybody wants to read something diferent. For instance, people who hate stories in which terrible things happen to small children should put this book down immediately. But one type of book that practically no one likes to read is a book about the law. Books about the law are notorious for being very long, very dull, and very difficult to read. This is one reason many lawyers make heaps of money. The money is an incentive - the word "incentive" here means "an offered reward to persuade you to do something you don't want to do" - to read long, dull, and difficult books." x "At this point in the story, I feel obliged to interrupt and give you one last warning. As I said at the very beginning, the book you are holding in your hands does not have a happy ending. It may appear now that Count Olaf will go to jail and that the three Baudelaire youngsters will live happily ever after with Justice Strauss, but it is not so. If you like, you may shut the book this instant and not read the unhappy ending that is to follow. You may spend the rest of your life believing that the Baudelaires triumphed over Count Olaf and lived the rest of their lives in the house and library of Justice Strauss, but that is not how the story goes." __________________
