Answers!



Good golly... I leave you alone for a few days and WAR breaks out!

First of all, your golden god is pleased that you have managed to sort out your differences. The comments section should be a friendly environment, a community, a place for you all to argue about who loves me more. Let’s face it, that is the only argument worth having, is it not?

Of course, the debate all started with a very simple question- how old is Skulduggery? There’s a bit of misleading information that’s been circulating the internet for a while- namely his year of birth.

When I set up the Skulduggery Bebo page, the Year of Birth counter would only go back to 1906- because for NORMAL people, there’s not much point in having any earlier options available. It wasn’t a box in which you could input whatever year you wanted- you had to tick the years available. Unfortunately, what has happened since then is that various publishers and websites take the 1906 year as the ACTUAL year of his birth, without checking with me first.

But rest assured, Skulduggery is over 400 years old. I’m not going to give any specifics here as to exactly when he was born, or when he died, or how long the war lasted, because those are details to be given out in the actual books themselves.

Speaking of ages, Flaring asked “If Skulduggery was in his sixties when he died- but looked in his thirties... then why is Tanith in her eighties and looks in her twenties?”

The answer is easy- because Tanith is very young-looking for her age...


Naomi made an excellent point, about the magical war coinciding with mortal wars. When mortal wars- such as WW1- broke out, it gave the sorcerers free reign to fight in the open in certain countries. This has always been in the back of my mind, but I don’t know if we’ll be seeing any examples, or hearing any stories, of this in the books themselves.




Now, onto movie questions. We are STILL in script mode, trying to make it better and better, and until we get the script right, there will be no decision taken on whether the movie will go ahead. What you’ve got to keep in mind is that this process could go for another few YEARS- or we could end up with a great script in a few months- or we might NEVER get a script that everyone likes...!

If and when it IS made, however, it WILL be live action- NOT animated. There will, of course, be a huge amount of special effects work, but it will be real actors on a real set. As for how Skulduggery himself will be rendered, I don’t know yet. Neither do I know what actors will be involved, or what director will end up making it. I do have my wishlist, but I’m not sharing it with anyone...

As for any video games, or indeed other cool stuff like toys and T-shirts, that’s all wrapped up in the movie stuff. Basically, if the movie goes ahead, we’ll probably get those things as well. If not, er... we won’t. Occasionally there’ll be some merchandise that will be given away to promote a new book, but these things are all free, and only a limited quantity will be available. There were some cool torches a while ago, and some keys rings and T-shirts, so my advice is if you EVER see any of those things, GRAB THEM WHILE YOU CAN!


There have been a few questions about writing, about whether or not to plan your outline before getting down to work.

I have a vague outline before I begin- I write down the things I need to happen in terms of moving the story forward, and also I write down what the characters have to go through. A lot of it I keep in my head, where it rolls around and changes and gestates and mutates, and only when I write those scenes or those chapters does it actually begin to take shape.

It’s a fun way of working, because it’s very loose and it allows me space to improvise and do whatever I want... Hold on, dumb dog is barking about something...

Okay I’m back. Sherlock was barking at his tail, from what I can see. It probably took him by surprise. (He’s not very bright.)

Where was I? Yes, writing. For the series as a whole, I know what has to happen in every book. I don’t know the PLOT of every book, but I know what each one is about. For instance, I might have a note beside Book Six, which would be something like “Valkyrie learns X about herself, while Skulduggery tracks down Y, which will lead to Z.”

I think you’re probably going to need to plot out MOST of your story when you’re starting out as a writer. When I was writing Skulduggery, however, I had a few years of writing scripts under my belt, and because of that I had developed a natural rhythm for telling stories. But until you find that rhythm, you’re going to need all the help you can get to take the story you want to tell and present it in its leanest, most economic and effective form.


Irresistibly Evil- that story you’re working on sounds pretty interesting... If you have writer’s block, you just have to relax. I like the fact that you’re watching loads and reading loads- that’s how I deal with something like that. I take long walks, daydream, let myself be encouraged by other movies and books, and eventually you’ll settle back into your rhythm.


Now for some of the more RANDOM questions you’ve asked...


The back cover will be presented once Tom has finished with it...! Trust me, it’s awesome. It gives us our first look at the Big Bad of Mortal Coil.

My favourite colour, er, blue.

I have never eaten a tim-tam. I’m not even sure such a thing exists.

I’d love if Skulduggery turned into a comic- but because I love comics so much I’d have to get involved in that process in a huge way, and I’m not sure I have the time at the moment.

The Bentley is BLACK.

Rachel- I haven’t yet decided on whether or not the Bentley has made its last appearance. If I can find a replacement car that’s as cool, no problem, but if I can’t...

Skyril, I swear, New Orleans would be my first port of call if ever I get down Louisiana way!

Hiya Josie- that’s right, I never DID reply, did I? Okay, I’ll have to find that letter and write you a reply.

There aren’t any werewolves in Skulduggery’s universe YET... I did have one character who was KIND of a werewolf but I cut him out. He MAY reappear, so that’s all I’ll say about him.

Roisin asked if I was born awesome or did it develop over time- the answer is a bit of both. I was born awesome, and I’ve just gotten progressively awesomer.

Pirates or ninjas? Ninjas. DEFINITELY.

Elly! Happy belated birthday!

As far as I know, there are no plans to release Dark Days in the States. That doesn’t mean it’ll never happen, just that we haven’t signed a contract yet. If I were you, I’d bite the bullet and order it from Amazon UK...

Vampires have last names, yes they do. We just haven’t heard them yet.



Ally Pally asked a few questions...

Yes, I watch Glee.

No, I don’t watch Britain’s Got Talent.

I get recognized in public SOMETIMES- not often, thank God. Fame, even the small amount I have, is not as nice as you might think.

I have a perfectly fine house- if it were any bigger I’d be rattling around in it like a pea in a tin can. Or, er, something.


Oh, and the Caramelldansen is HILARIOUS.

Oh Naomi Wiflath I did see that one, but i suppose I had forgotten.

Haha Kirsty1 I think that's the way it should be.Since you *were* here first. ^.^

Indeed, Kirsty2 I suppose that could work.Though I still believe a Porsche is not exactly Skulduggery's style.

PEANUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if you have absolutely no clue why I just screamed "peanuts" at the top of my lungs, read Hudson's comment. ^.^)

Hahaha ashwerewolf too bad for Dad huh?

For you information 'tis "Valkyrie" not "Valkirie".

Fiona &gt I'm not bored because I'm reading these comments.I love reading the strange things that people place as a comment here.All of us are weird.Which makes us awesome.

Good Luck Tara!

Avotica said...

Hello again...

On the off chance that Geckogirl might read this, I have a few reasons that I wouldn't go with the Doctor.

1. "Hello, I'm the doctor! Want to come travelling in my magic phone box with me?" Kind of strange and creepy, don't you thing?

2. All his companions end up 'falling in love' with the doctor in a way. It isn't nice.

3. When the Doctor has his companions, others that know and love that person get involved (eg. Rose's mum, Jackie, Martha's whole family, Amy's boyfriend, Rory... list goes on) Not always ending happy!

4. The Doctor is a bit evil, in his ways. He can, and has, destroyed all species, mostly to protect humans. We aren't really that good! What the hell does he see in us???

5. He doesn't always keep his promises. And that's a big deal when time travelling and dealing with aliens in life-threatening situations.

6. I'm needed here. Sort of. My friends and family love me, and I wouldn't want to put them through any sort of pain if I could prevent it.

7. I would not go into an old police telephone box with a complete stranger who claims he can travel through time!

One good thing would be those cracks. I mean, they could erase me from time. I wouldn't have ever existed. You have no idea how much I would want that!

Did you that the TARDIS is broken? It's supposed to be able to turn into things, to camoflague, but that broke in the VERY FIRST EPISODE! Back in 1960-something! He just hasn't got around to fixing it.

By the way, I wasn't all that fond of Rose either. I mean, she wasn't bad, but she was a bit fake. I liked Martha, but Donna and Amy are my favourites so far. Donna was not romaticly attached to the Doctor, which I liked. I also have a thing about red hair...

Well, just thought I'd talk about Doctor Who. It's interesting and all that.

Bye!

Avotica said...

GRAMMAR CORRECTION:

I meant to say THINK in point 1, not thing. In context:

1. "Hello, I'm the doctor! Want to come travelling in my magic phone box with me?" Kind of strange and creepy, don't you *thing*?

*was suppose to be think*

Sorry about that!

hollies said...

i can hurt it very very easily just get a baseball bat and ur mutated ugly messed up squirl.

oh and im listing to Panic!at the disco they are class one of my 2 fav bands ever ( All time low being the other) hehe no Sp has to have a bently its like one of the most important things about him it shows character hehe Xd

Rosie said...

@Avotica

I'd be slightly wary if some man 20+ years my senior came up to me and said 'Hey, I can travel in space and time! ...Wanna see my TARDIS?'

And what I don't get is his obesession with humans... We're not all that interesting...

I'm sticking with Skulduggery xD

Irresistably EVIL!!! said...

wait a second... tera. in the first book doesn't Skulduggery say that reflections don't have names???i mean, that's like saying that if Val loves Fletcher, then the reflection does too. oh and you guys suck!!!! i don't have the fourth book so you're completely ruining it for me. meh, i wish my parents weren't so cheap so they'd get it for me. okay, so now on to my horrible head trauma. we went to the doctor's yesterday and yes, i do have a concussion. turns out that there is absolutly NOTHING you can do about it either. but on the bright side, i won't suffer any permanint brain damage as long as i don't hit my head again in the next few weeks. pft, yeah like that's possible. i'm thinking about buying a bike helmet and smacking a big HAZARD sticker in the front. and one other bit of important news.... meh, i got nothing.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Hahaha Hellboy that is so awesome! :D I So have to buy you now Mr.Landy. ^.^ How much do you cost???

lol I think humans are fairly interesting.More interesting the animals.

Skyril! (I'm in an exclamation mood...)

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Ah sorry about spoiling it for you, Irresistably EVIL!!!!
I think the helmet idea is a good one! :P

Skyril!!

penguin said...

Irestably Evil: Thnx but it might take a while to finish it coz I can't keep my mind on anything for more then a chapter. It might be out next June at the best, If it does get published.
Angels and Deamons sounds cool dosen't it.
so... can you start a new story coz I don't get all the story, they all just seem to be driving around in a car.

so... here goes STORY:

Skullduggery rusted round the corner. skidding as he went, "Valkirie, run!" He screamed as he sped past her.
"Huh?" Valkiries eyes followed him as he rushed into the distance, "Oh, right," and she quickly followed.

I think that that was realy a bit of fanfiction, I'll finish it later, I've got bored, or wh don't you?

I can do a recap on the next blog page if I don't finish it by then.

Unknown said...

@Avotica- well, if you went through time and erased yourself, then you would have never been there to erase yourself, thus creating a time paradox. only someone else could erase you. wait... if they erased you then you would have *ramble on and on* then, when the robot unicorns attack, then that would fix your toy. are we clear?

@~hellboy~ can i pwease still call you joey boy *kitty cat eyes (even worse then puppy dog eyes)*

@Fiona > and hollies- well, truth be told my cupcake cat can beat anything. also, just one lick can kill a person in 0.0000067289 seconds. it is immune to saws, bombs, fire, water, cold, heat, lav, and pretty much anything else you can think of.

Unknown said...

oh, and irresistibly EVIL!! (can i call you evil one?) here is a better idea take some bubble wrap, wrap it aroung your head, and wear a huge sombraro. that will keep people away and if it rains ur covered! also, ENTERTAINMENT!!! *pops bubble wrap*

TIF News Desk said...

I'm a bit late as evidenced by the fact I'm commenting on the 'Answers' post and not the 'Questions' one but well...I've not had access to a computer until now and my phone won't let me comment on here (cue a very angry me not realising this until after I'd written a very long comment...on a bloody phone keypad as well, AND I was at work, took me ages and all for nothing)

Anyway, point is; are you (co)writing the script for the film?

Avotica said...

People are talk to be... Wow. People actually read these comments? I just read the ones that have my name on them...

Sorry to the rest of you, but your comments aren't that interesting, and I cannot stand your grammar and spelling mistakes.

Anyway, Paradox stuff happens all the time on Doctor Who. The Master even made the TARDIS specifically into a Paradox Machine to hold a paradox in place.

Oh, and Fiona person, or whatever your name is, it's Alice IN Wonderland, not Alice and Wonderland. More specifically, it's actually Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but they shortened the title.
*GASP* And you're a Twilight fan? Leave. LEAVE NOW!

And Roisin... You stole my words. Thats not very nice. Don't do it again!

And Hollies and Fiona and all that, no-one cares about your fanfiction stories. Get a life! Pay attention in school! Learn how to spell words that make sense! Geez!

Once again, you should be ashamed of your fans, Derek Landy. They are appauling! (Shush. I don't know how to spell every word)

@Avotica: I think your attitude is really inappropriate here. You should post your negativity on your blog, instead of filling your posts with it here in order to make big posts. :)

I was waiting for someone to say that.

How Inappropriate
Sorry, I'll stop now... well, stop being so vocal

I'm here now, so u can stop worrying.
Ive got nothing to say, so i might as well give you lot some heaads up on this awesome story idea i had.


here u go:


Prologue:

The moonlight filtered through the gum leaves, creating silver spider webs on the ground. All was still. Even the trees, it seemed, were holding their breath. Then came a sharp crack that split the serenity of the moment, followed by several screams and heavy footsteps. Figures blurred past, struggling to break free of the tree line. Many did not make it, and fell to the moonlit ground, clawing at their wounds before becoming unnaturally still. The survivors ran to the edge, saw the cliff and jumped.
The gap, as it was, stretched to over twenty metres. The figures did not stand a chance. But instead of plummeting to their demise, they opened their wings and flew.
Their pursuers stopped at the edge and cursed. They stood there, and looked at their prey escape. Another time, they thought.
Another time.



Lucas’s eyes slowly opened, and, for a moment, he sighed in happiness. It was his thirteenth birthday. But, as quickly as the moment arrived, it disappeared, to be replaced with an empty feeling. He didn’t know why, and he didn’t know how, but there was a sudden pang of sadness, of grief, and of great loss. Lucas sat up, troubled. Why? He thought, why would I be feeling this?
Curious, he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and inspected the covers. They were all twisted and mangled, and his pillow was on the ground. What happened here?
He stepped onto the floor, and his foot was tickled by a small wet nose from under the bed. “Jasper!” he said, picking up the furry creature. Jasper meowed in return, and licked his feline paws. Lucas stroked the cat, and went looking for his slippers. He found one in the corner of his room, and on high up on his shelf. As he reached for the second one, he looked at his possesions, all messily arranged on the shelf. They were mostly books, full of exciting adventure and action. Lucas moved his gaze onwards. He had always wanted to be apart of these stories, but he knew that the chance that he could was minimal.
As he reached the door, he doubled over in pain. His back arched, and he felt his back split open. He screamed, but his scream was not his own. It was like nails on a blackboard, and seemed to pierce his mind like a thousand shards of ice. He fell to the ground, twisting and writhing in pain. He curled up, and then there was no more light, or sound, and instead he felt his back open up, releasing two large, spindly limbs...

Lucas’s eyes opened, his mind full of the vivid nightmare he had just experienced. As he sat up, he removed his top and touched his back, searching for something, anything. His hands moved ever closer to the dual scars on his back, that had been with him from birth. The fingers of his right hand reached for them-
His bedroom door slammed open. His widowed step-mother walked in, and he scrabbled around for his t-shirt. “Get out there right now, you little weasel!” she shouted, throwing the blinds to the far edges of the window. He stumbled to his feet, and she ran out after him, yelling and cursing for him to feed the cat.

When he finally grabbed his own breakfast and headed out the door, he reviewed his bizzare dream. The dream was a recurring dream, and happened often. All the time in his dream he heard his glass-shattering scream, replayed over and over in the confines of his mind. Hang on, Lucas thought, that’s not in my head...





*that close* to deciding wether i should add more onto it...

@ skyril
thanks :)

@ Irresistably EVIL!!!
did you notice how, since the reflection got shot, lots of wierd things have been happening (to the reflection) so it is perfectly possible for it to have developed emotions and decided to take/ mimic valkyrie to a more extreme extent.

Avotica 1st.sorry if i miss typed i was sleepy and i don’t care if i got a name wrong. u should stop commenting on other peoples grammar and spelling because it is NONE of your business at all wither we can spell or not
2nd. i do go to school and i listen most of the time but at least i have fun
3rd Hollie is not commenting anymore because of u
And that u read people comments. My proof:
How do u know im a twilight fan
How do u know peoples grammar and spellings are bad?
How do u know that peoples fan flicks are sad? Hmmmmmm? My point exactly
And I just want to say it is mean telling somebody that writing fan flicks and putting them up for them to get a life them people have as much rights as u do to post stuff. I don’t want to hear u complain the only reason I even bothered to read it is because u mentioned my name but I didn’t mention in a comment telling u to “get a life” so there ¬¬

WHY WON'T YOU TOUR THE UNITED STATES OR GIVE US OUR BOOKS?!! The Dark days book is not a problem seeing as how I've already ordered it the day after it came out. But! If it doesn't come out here then Mortal Coil doesn't come out either whenever it's supposed to come out. SO PLEASE SIGN YOUR STUPID CONTRACTS!!!! And I said please which I rarely do so you have to do it now.

Derek I absolutely love your books, I'm not going to tell you how amazing you and your books are because you probably have heard it so many times before (you are amazing though) anyway..... I have a question....... I don't know if this is the 8th or 9th book but when Valkyrie and Skulduggery goes to see Cassandra to see something in the future Cassandra asks Valkyrie how is the new boyfriend and she asks if she means Fletcher or Caelen (I probably spelt his name wrong) but Cassandra says no the other one and Valkyrie doesn't have a boyfriend, is Cassandra confused with Valkyrie's reflection that's going out with Fletcher or was it meant to be the man who was talking to Fletcher and said to Fletcher i hate you and Fletcher said that he spdidnt care, but then Fletcher said Valkyrie likes being protected (WHICH SHE DOESNT LOL). But then that man died in the war against the supreme counsel. Did you forget about her getting a boyfriend or did u just decide that after he died that you don't want her to get a boyfriend? Or was he even meant to be her boyfriend at all? One more question, will you be making a 10th Skulduggery book? 😇 Thanks, i love your books.
