ATTENTION MINIONS!
I need your help! I need at LEAST two hundred replies, from as many of you as possible, to this post before tomorrow. If I get that, then Laura- the REAL Valkyrie Cain- has agreed to do an interview about what it means to be the basis for such an awesome character!
TWO HUNDRED REPLIES, my Ninja Leprechauns! Get to it!

OMG! that is soooooooooo mint
2nd comment! Ha!
Do they all need to be from different people? :) #2 :D
real valkyrie cain you mean your sisters babie xD
lol
your just going to answer the questions for her
but i have a question,
why you name the book skullduggery when the main chara is realy Val i mean skull-mans cool and has a cool name but you knwo not name it anything else?????
Beth, I think Derek means the actual Laura, who can walk and talk and is obviously kick-ass, being the inspiration for Valkyrie. And since the book is told from Valkyrie's point of view, Skulduggery is her way into the world where she belongs. It all started with him and Gordon. So I think Derek was right to name the book Skulduggery Pleasant instead of Valkyrie Cain or Stephanie Edgley, because Valkyrie Cain doesn't exist until the middle of the first book and Stephanie Edgley would be kind of a boring book title, even though it's a cool name.
This is the first comment I've posted here. It feels like I've accomplished something great, done something that matters! Have I now become a minion of Landy The Great? So many questions so little time. You see I just started college a few weeks ago and I am not ashamed to say these books are my favorite by far (sure Darren Shan is cool but you've taken his cake.) So Thank you Master Landy, The Man who found the lost city of Gold. (It's okay if you promptly lost it again) You made the somewhat irrational teenage angst leave my entire being. I feel like an adult now (maybe), but you take my back to magic and dangerous adventures when i need (so desperately) to escape.
Ninja Leprechauns!?!? Bahaha! Okey dokey Sensei!
OMG! I can't believe im the 8th person to comment! This is EPIC! EPIC I SAY! COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm here! I'm here!!
Benjamin said...Benjamin said...De ja vu?
Benjamin is still saying stuff...
I feel like the Kool-Aid man.
"OH YEAAAAAAH!"
*adds another reply*
derek you are cheating! we agreed 200 LEGITIMATE comments! Not ones you put up yourself!!!!
These are legit, aren't they...? :S
No! they have to be REAL people! And my comments dont count in the 200! And neither do any of your made up people!
I haven't written anything until NOW!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce, to rapturous applause- Laura- the REAL Valkyrie Cain!
Laura!
Interview!
Pleassee!
OMG FISH
This message was brought to you by a hyper teenager fueled by Red Bull and Derek Landy ramblings :D
Your comment SO counts. As does mine.
Charming! Aha. But tell me, does it have to be 200 different people or just 200 replies?
Well, you see, Laura added that 200 DIFFERENT people rule AFTER we'd agreed on the terms and conditions, so I'm pretty sure it's invalid. But it'd be clearer if it were 200 different people....!
Lies! I know your feelings on Darren Shan! I refuse to write that off as pure coincidence!! Emily is you and thats cheating!
ps Hello to all the REAL people!!
200 comments? OK, can be done.

Two more posts have been made since I logged in to post this. :) We're getting there!
*has cold toes*
Although I have nothing constructive to say I'm commenting anyway 'cause I want to see that interview.
ONE MORE COMMEEENT!! We will soooo easily break the 200th comment thingie.
GOO MUNCHKIN ARMYY! *Point finger in the air puposefully*
And Laura, it's a pleasure to 'meet' you!
You must really be badass.
QUESTION!
Neither Dark Days OR Mortal Coil has been seen in Swedish bookstores!
Will they ever come and if not, WHY OH WHYY?!
I would leave a comment, but I'm already someone else's minion/henchman. Sorry.
I am here for you master! >bows<
I do know that it would be impossible for Mortal Coil to be out but Dark Days worries me...
It should be here by now, shouldn't it? ;_;
Hello.
Oh no I forgot to finish, it means I have to post another.
Woops, there I go again. How is everyone? Good? I'm good, thank you for asking.
I like dogs.
I don't know what anything you said ment but yeah. REPLY. Woo hoo :O. Okay I'm done here.
Oh yeah and I forgot to mention; ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!!!
AHMYGAD.
Let's roll.
I am here your derek-golden-god-ness ^^
Your army of ninja lepricans and minions are ready
Abs ^^
SWEET! Here's a reply! XD Is there any way possible the rest of the books will get into America?
Here's a comment - anyone watching that new series, Sherlock??
It's really really good. I mean, the casting is just perfect, Benedict Cumberbatch is so right for Holmes, and Martin Freeman makes a great Watson. Go watch it NOW. x
Oooh, she must be cool.
DEREK!!!!! GET LAURA TO SAY HI TO ME IF SHE CAN!!!! PLEEEEEEEASE?!?!?!?
Also, you know what sort of character would be cool? One of those "energetic" (as a nice way to but it) who is loud, noisey, and annoying. They are always so funny! Like Ritchan from Fruit Baskets. So funny.
I'm gonna go see inception tonight.
Stay weird.
Harly Ryker.
@nye, good idea, but you might want to check ur spelling
That would be awesome, great to read.
hmm not sure what to say but I want to add a comment so here it goes....
Your Books Rock Socks!! <3
anyway there is another comment so I now feel accomplished for helping you in your quest!! =]
so peace out and rock on =]
Greetings from Germany! I'm still waiting of Book Number 4... :D
WE CAN DO THIS!
I SHALL REPLY!!!
Hi Derek! It's taken me so bloody long to set up a Google Account but I've done it!
I had a funny conversation with my mum yesterday. Everyone of my friends (except me) has tried to get a tan. It's not possible for me with my Irish and Dutch skin, anyways, wouldn't Skulduggery just get sunbleached?
We need a national Munchkin Army day!
Hello from Portsmouth! Lets get to 200 replies!
Oooh i want to read that interview! What happens if you get 199 replies???????? :O
Oh yeah! I always think of Skulduggery (and the whole series for that matter) when I hear the song People are Strange by The Doors.
While we're all here, we should write a song! One line each, just for fun! An anthem to honour our Gold God! Who's gonna start?
Woah, I would love to see that interview. More comments people!
i would luv to see it too your books are brilliant
heyy
oh i had a question, are there still going to bee 9 books? And is there the possibility of more after that? :)

The prince in the swan princess is also called Derek.

BOO!
Hi I helped!!!!!!!!!
The no eyed guy all the way! Just thought I'd put my own in. I wonder how many comments we have...
Awesome! I'll help!!
Does replying multiple times work??
Because if it does I'm totally ready to reply however many more times I need to :D
Hmmm what should I say??
I'll have to think about it. That is, if replying a bunch of times by me works...
This is the first time I've commented. It makes me feel cool. But I don't know what to put...
Oh yeah, by the way, a book suggestion for you would be: The Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix.
Ok now I'm gonna go back and read all these comments.
Might as well comment for the cause :)
Laura you comment counts!
