Faerie Queen password

Since Faerie Queen is spelled several ways on this site, can someone provide the one used as the Something Rotten password? Or am I misunderstanding the point?

uhm...it would be nice to remove this topic. It would be a shame to ruin the special features for everyone.

I'd like to know too. I've tried several spellings and still haven't been able to get in. Its frustrating me too much.

just for those who haven't had a chance to wade through,

The UK version has an E on the end of the last word, the US one doesn't. So try adding an E. And you have to use all 3 words.

I've tried every possible permutation of the answer I can think of... Can someone please clear it up for me? An e-mail would be appreciated.

Funnily enough, "Something Rotten" is the password to unlock the hidden bonus features in Spenser's "Th Fr Qn". (That's Spenser's Oulipo version, with no vowels. Putting the vowels back in is one of the bonus features.)

Now there's an Internet project waiting for me waste a decade or so of my life on it - the "bonus features" website for Perec's "La Disparition" that rewrites the story four ways, missing out each of the other vowels. Is there a special word for when your brain develops masochistic tendencies?

It's hard to key in three words to a title when in TN4, the book is listed as 2 words. I did a google search using the book as posted in TN4 and the title came up as three words with the last word ending in e (as the note on the website indicates). It still took me 3 attempts to access the website, but it was worth the wait.
