It's currently 2am, and having just finished my highly coveted proof copy, I've wandered downstairs only to be required to boot my 16 year old brother-in-law off my computer and to shut down all the guitar sites he was looking at (when he really should be looking at porn...what's wrong with this kid)...all this only to find that the special features site for Something Rotten isn't even available yet!

Now I'm bummed. And I'm going to have trouble trying to remember what I thought the password might be. Nothing glaring pops out at me in this one, like it did for WOLP. But I have some ideas. Perhaps I should write them down and post-it note them to the monitor. But who am I kidding? My adhesive-addicted cat, Odin, will just eat the post-it note when I'm not looking, then all will be lost.

Perhaps I should just go back to bed and think about it later. Right...first a stop off in the kitchen for a glass of milk or something a bit stronger, then up to bed. Good night!

I have no ideas for the password, it's not like on WOLP where it just came to me!

Any hints will be helpful

I'm thinking it has something to do with a certain calling card, but since it's not up, I can't check my theory!

it's up now!

Ya, but the password is not working for me!! I wonder if the title of the most boring book changed from the proof to the final copy! ARRRRGH! LOL

It's working now, or for me anyway - remember to check your spelling :o)



:--

Do something pretty while you can...

It's still not working for me. Silly question - is this less straightforward than it seems?

It is what it seems. It does seem to need the "the", which fooled me for a while.

Yup, it was the "the" that fooled me too.

You know you Google too much when you stop including the little words.

I really think it did change from the proof to the final and without giving it all away, I'd hate to ruin it for someone else, so I guess I'll just have to wait until either my UK copies show up or I go to the US signing and get my copy there! GRRR!

I'm not buying the uk copy, i only have the proof, will some kind soul email me the clue?

Well, I've tried it with the "The" and without, and I'm not getting in. I've got the US edition - is the answer different than the UK edition?

Does the US edition give that book's title in its original Elizaebethan spellinge?

No, it does not. I thought it might be something nitpicky like that. Problem solved - thanks!

I had missed out the final letter - thanks to the help here, I am now it!lalien wrote:

I was missing the final letter as well. It's not in the US Version's proof.

<blush> Nice to see I was mentioned in the special features! </blush>

It's not in the real copy either.
