What’s this? What’s this? A blog entry that isn’t about ME? Has the world gone INSANE?
Yes. Yes it has. But I’m sure you don’t mind. Most of you were already nuts long before this...
Tom Percival, the wonderful cover artist for Skulduggery, has his own book out for younger readers- "Tobias and the Super Spooky Ghost Book". I could tell you a bit about the story, I could tell you that Tobias is a lonely ghost who sets out to play some scary tricks on the girl who has just moved into his house, but what’s the point of that? Just look at this cover!
Isn’t it awesome? Now, yes, some of you may be thinking that it’s a tad too young for Skulduggery readers (it’s aimed at 3-5 year olds), but I’m fairly certain that fans of Mr Percival are looking at this right now, just itching to get their greedy little hands on it.
Good God, I think I’ve just realised what I’m going to buy for my nieces for their first Christmas.
Yes, fine, they’re still only a few months old, but STILL! This can be the first book on their shelves! Oh I like that. I like that idea. It’s a gloriously fun book, and perfect for preparing them for Skulduggery a little further down the road.
I am seriously going to be the best uncle ever.
For those of you who are interested- and I know there are many- you should pop over to Tom’s site- www.tom-percival.com - and take a wander around. And to celebrate the release of his first book, I’ve asked Tom to draw a piece of Skulduggery “fan art”, in the Tobias style.
Be prepared for an overload of Skulduggery cuteness.

mr.landy have any plans of comin 2 the UAE for a signing? coz we r just drowning in hope =P
Hog the first three comments, why don't you -.-
Merlin, I wish you were my uncle.
I need that book. My eye's genuinely twitching. Tom Percival = Genius.
Artistic genius, may I add.
Oh how cute! I do like that one but I'm afraid I'm not quite sure I will be buying the book, a fan of Mr Percival though I am. The only people I could actually justifiably give the wonderful book to are my 2nd cousins, the adorable twins who are.... I think ten months old, and are French which rather defeats the object of buying them the book.
I had fun being a loner today :[
And now that's just great, I'm a loner again.
*sigh*
Kallista, where are you?
Wow, i went on Tom's site yesterday and saw the book but i hadn't realised he wrote it himself...Loving the fact he's an author now too and i wish him big luck with it. If i was like 10 years younger i would love to have read that. Oh, and i never thought i'd see skulduggery pleasant being so cutely drawn like this...maybe Tom could write in a special chapter in a skulduggery book featuring Tobias...wouldn't that be neat??
:D

next part of fanfic is up.
!!! GENIOUS!!!!
:O mr landy, i now have the perfect gift for christmas for my little brother! And no, i won't read it before i wrap it... *looks around innocently*
TO BALLET!!!
Talk to you lot later. I GOT NO HOMEWORK TODAY!!!
Yey, someone on!
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/10/fanfiction-part-seventeen.html
hey peeps have to write a speech for tomorow what do you think of this one??? ITs my fav so far!!
Hello fellow comrades my friends.
I am here today to show you how we can see this school, how we can make the impossible happen, how we can make this school our own.
Remeber comrades how we won the battle of the sandpit? Do you remeber how hard it was to beat them with potatoes and cream? Well, I do, and I can actually prove to you that the teachers will came back, stronger then ever, they will have OFSTED with them. They will swat us like flies...DO YOU WANT TO BE A FLY??
They will tortue us by making us write esseys until our hands drop of. They will tie us to chairs, they will force our eyes open and make us watch A LIFE OF A TADPOLE over and over again until we turn into tadpoles ourselves.
But comrades, my friends, we can be stronger we can win, we already did once... why not a second time??
We can live lives that no other friend has ever lived by uniting together and by voting for me I will lead you to freedom. I will show you a whole new world. I will show you the light that never shone before. I will be there for you. I will fight for you whatever the reason. I will make wise decisions. And I will make every wish come true whatever the cost as soon as possible...and all YOU have to do is vote for me and respect 4 simple rules....
NEVER STEAL FROM YOUR NEIGHBOUR
ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOUR
NEVER KILL YOUR NEIGHBOUR
AND
YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR ARE EQUAL,
I was once told a poem that I would like to share with you,
Trust me and i'll trust you
Be kind to me and i'll be kind to you
BUT kill a part of me and i'll kill a part of you
remeber this short poem, because it will always remeber YOU.
VOTE 4 ME!!!
Random, but cool!
You'll get a clap from the kids, and an after school detention by the teachers, everyone's happy!
my friends say that its from the bottom of my heart whatever that means.....plus im gonna have to read it out in english tommorow....URGH!!
read my fanfic Flo.
why will i get detension????
is it cause i wrote kill??
i like kiling things.....
Mr Landy I agree that was skullduggery cuteness overload and you will make a great uncle
Don't we all, but it makes the teachers sound like evil things, which they are, but I don't think they'd be pleased with it, and it's taking the mick out of tadpoles.
And if it's from the bottom of your heart, then there's a whole lotta evil in your heart lol (joking)
Would love to get his book for my library and read to the kids...not sure my boss would be a fan of the shipping fees to the US though! Ugh!
And I hate to do this, but I thought I was a runner up in your character competition, but I haven't received anything yet. Maybe there are two Lauren Longbottoms from the US who are fans, eh? ;)
I would vote for you, even if the teachers tell me not to, then again, I rarely do as I'm told when I'm at school.
hey im so not ment to be on here (stupid piles of homework) but WOW! i dont care how young its aimed for im so reading it!
and love the skulduggery/tobias pic! fantastic!
sorry havent been on a while guys, been worrying about what to say to my 'friends' after they said on facebook behind my back that they want me to go and kill myself so...yeah as you can imagine ive been pretty down. oh and skitted for being down of course! can't forget that!
man! so! much! homework!
love it derek! so gonna buy that book!!!!!!!!
have you seen an alpaca yet derek? yes im that girl at liverpool who talked to you about alpacas. i post about this all the time hoping oyu will see it and say "yes geckogirl. i remember you."
sadly its probs not gonna happen as you have many many fans and comments.
...but i know you know inside derek...i know...
hey peps! might not comment much as doing history but hi anyways! later i will read more of the fan-fics ive been missing out on for a few days but for now....tis homework time *sighs*
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/10/fanfiction-part-seventeen.html
Fanfic for people who haven't read it, quite a lot of people haven't read it, only Hellboy has read it.
And now Flo has read it.
OMIGOSSH. Is it already out? If not, when is it out? OMIGOSSH. Heheee :}
Deerreeeekkk... I blame you. It's all your fault. (Well, yours and mine. ... and maybe Stephanie Meyer.)
Why is it your fault?
Clearly, it's your fault for making me mad >.>... My mom has started to worry about me. No joke. We were in a shop the other day and she brought up how I said to someone about how we now know why none of us got pretty.. 'cause she fell down every single branch of the pretty tree.
But that's not important.
She says that to me though, and I, Being me and a sad fourteen year old Skulduggery obssessor, then quote the first book. Exactly. No joke, I didn't even mess it up.
I had quoted the part where valkyrie had jumped off the gallery roof and fell down the tree. You know the part that ends with "And how were those branches?" "Alot unlike pillows."
Yeah. That bit.
My mom thinks I need to stop re-reading the books.
But I disagree (:
xx
your fan fic is awsome :D
....i actually dont care what the treachers think i am their enemy no.1 in school they all say so... i dont like tadpoles... like the poem i wrote....and apparantly my heart is made from black stone....
http://susurrusofstories.blogspot.com/2010/10/howdy.html
I think we should all go to Hellboy's blog, because, well, um, see when you get there.
MUST GET GET GETT!! I have nothing important 2 say about my life right now except 'Japanese technology is soo much betta then ours we shud copy!!!'
CUTE MAN! Thats skulduggery is awesome! Looks like a good book...reminds me a lot of Anthony Horowitz's 'THE SWITCH' (which Tom Percival also illustrated by the way) :D
I READ THAT BOOK IT AWSOME AND I GOT IT SIGNED BY ANTHONY HMSELF! :D
So damn cute! :O
UHYDSYGVUDYFCBKUJSJHB, I WANT IT! I've seen art for this before, because I DON'T stalk you and Tom, and I wanted it THEN! *Makes note to beg HarperCollins for it at the Focus Group*

Hi Leo, new fanfic is up!
Sarthacus, where are you?
A post that's not about you???????????? World Explodes. JK!
That book looks adorable! By the way, that pic of Skulduggery has just become my new iPod touch wallpaper. :)
Aww, that is soo sweet!!!
Could you ask him to do a fan art of the entire Skulduggery team?
Wow, you weren't kidding about the cute-ness.
were is everyone??
I'm here, Flo, 6ft 3 is 1.905 metres, nearly 2 metres, not 2000 like Sarthacus thought.
Oi.
ok i was actually asking for centimetres....
My Damn sister pulled the wire on the laptop and now it's screwwed, thankyou bitch!
It's running out of battery fast!
57% left.
56%
Well, if you convert 2m into centimetres, 200, and then take one off.
55%
190.05 centimetres.
or something, my maths isn't very good.
50%
yay thanx:D
im not very good at maths
said the young one as his battery was going down down down! :D

I like the taste of blood. I always lick me cuts. Everyone else is like EWWW but saliva heals wounds faster. STUPID HISTORY!
hi well i am now a vampire according to my gang and nyone insane enough to listen to them....probably the ppl here aswell ...

42%
Please last me one more hour!
hmm the weird thing is that i had some really deep cut and i sucked on it.....i said i like blood didnt i ? and then i kept bleeding so i licked itstead and it stopped bleeding staright away.......i was kinda freakedout myself....
I doubt thats gonna happen Dragona. Why is the battery going down?
Damn sister, the other wire is deep in a pile of kitchen stuff, we're having a flooring put in our kitchen!
She pulled the wire, and now it's bust, even though it's still plugged in.
38%
CHARGE IT YOUNG ONE CHARGE IT!!
Flo, the blood probably stopped flowing because it was clotting at the precise time you licked, pure coincidence, it happens to me quite a lot.
I can't, I can't fish out the other wire, and this one is bust!
I'll wait until tomoz to find it.
Does anyone know an awesome website where I can get loads of info on Ferdinand Magellan
But I might have to survive an hour on 35% battery, not likely, but I'll say when I'm going, maybe because of battery, or otherwise.
Is it plugged into the mains properly?
...i was am still preaty freaked out about it though.....its just weird cause i didnt even get a scab......
OMG FLORENCE!! YOU HAVE MAGIC SPIT LIKE IN DARREN SHAN!!! (You have read Darren Shan right?)
Yes!
IT's plugged in, the wire has been pulled, my sister broke it.
since when did you get so wise dragona??
I read Darren Shan Darkane, Florence, I have the Knowledge, I just don't use it very often.
yep i have it has some reallybad ending tho .. he dies on a roof top like seriously??
One of the wires in the jack is probably bust so wiggle it around a bit.
31%
Oh no!
*come in then walks back out*
WIGGLE I SAY WIGGLE THE JACK!
Getting low!

I agree LOOK FOR IT!!!!
I can't see it though, if you knew the state of my front room, then you wouldn't find it, my table is in half and its layed against a bean bag, and its burried with the vac somewhere...
I can't see the vac, that's burried.
22%
Hey the drawing of that new book looks nothing like the ones he draws for skulduggery pleasant ami right
I mean, the vac for goodness sake! I cannot see it underneath the table, and the chairs, the drinks, the flowers and the draws!
You give up to easily. If you can't see it look for it.

Hey all Read my fan fic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. . .ahh . . .well night all . . .bye
*fan girl squeal!* OMG skul-man is so cute!
Woo hoo! Managed to squeeze in the first couple of hundred comments!
I'm most annoyed. I had a most epic comment wrote out, on your last post, which took me about ten minutes, due to it's epicness and I failed to remember the little code thing you have to do, that makes sure I'm not a robot trying to drain your brain of it's idea's and thoughts.
How very dare they think so.
I can do that perfectly well, thank you, without being a robot.
I am grinning in excitement, as I plot my little sisters' bed time story routine. Tobias every night, then a little education about their biggest sisters favourite book. Being skulduggery. Obviously.
Man, Mr Percy is FLORA-TASTIC (I'm stealing it. So there, and stuff.) He's almost as talented as... as... YOU, Mr Dandy Landy.
Aww, man, please don't let them make a film of the book!!!! It'll completely ruin it!!! I be begging you, with puppy dog eyes and a pout and tears and... a pirate voice..arr. You can't deny a pirate.
It's ruined so many good books, and I'm rather enjoying my stage of girly squealishness towards the skul-man books.
And, also, I'm home-schooled, and most of my friends are as well, but I just want to know...
Do you like trifle?
AND, I've just discovered I have an awesome name, that originates from the clan Graham (or Graeme) in Scotland. I just HAVE to tell someone, and you're here... metaphorically speaking...
My little sister's present is sorted... Like, for her and everything... Not just so /I/ can read it... Not at all... Just like I'm going trick or treating because she's going.... Little siblings give you so many excuses.
Hey yall im back from karate i had to help someone on there bow form and i really wanted to work on my broad sword form but i couldn't *sob* but the steady flow of Johnny Depp's voice soothes me and the fact that i can type on here again
Skulgirl13
Awww! So cute! :] I love it!!
Yes im not alone!
ok mayb i am....
Oh golden G-d if you ca have a convo with me that would be amazing cus im sooo alone!
Kallista anyone....... is there no one out there!
*goes into ninja mode to sneak up on any suspecting characters or not so suspecting aka scapegrace*
*police siren sounds* I KNOW YOUR OUT HERE DEREK LANDY COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! jk im too board
i am here! *triumphant music*
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought would go insane from lack of people
amen! that happened to me last night
sorry i probably wouldve been here but i was bushed
no prob
uuuuggg why must there be homework in this world! im on math and im in algebra so its really hard! well not really i just don't like iy
I HATE HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but math is ok really
yeah but you should hear what my teacher gave me problems 49-69 and problems 79-85 thats twenty eight problems that is not the worst of it she usualy gives us like thirty problems and la was terrible i like to write just not so limited nooo kallista that is so sad im so sorry but please don't leave!
Hey Kallista, night Kallista
*sigh* she left darn
yeah, it to bad about her computer, her fanfics are really good. do you do fanfics?
no i actually had to BEG my mom to get this blog so i could blog here and she won't let me have a fb so i doubt she would let me have a fanfic but i do read them a lot of them are really good but some of them ...*shudders at thought of valduggery*...are not for me
valduggery ain't that bad *thinks about it* yeah its that bad. what do you think of ganth? and valguine
no nonononononononnononononon ganith totally but valguin....he too old don't you think although celan isn't that bad.......ok mabey he is what do you think bout him? *groan at bad spelling*
i think Caelan is hot, and so is sanguine
WHAT???????? Sanguin ok i can so see that but Caelan is a VAMPIRE who tied to KISS her scratch that DID kiss her and then became obsessed over how they were soul mates and were destined to be together and how she should dump Fletcher with his adorable demented porcupine hair
whatever, he's still hot, so what if he's a vamp. tho the whole kissing val deal is really weird (haven't read MC yet so i dont know the details)
oh sorry but you have read the fourth one hopefully cus i just wrote this little piece for you to read
Darkness spread through her veins as twisted thoughts cloud her mind. She looks down upon her self; her form is not fit for her being. She shrugs it will have to do. Power surges through her muscles, they twitch with the urge to crush something or someone with her dagger like claws. Dark purple smoke curls around her fingers. She leans her head back and takes in the sounds of war. The cruelty of war feeds her mind with thoughts of rage. A twisted smile forms on her lips; she has become what she feared of. No she was not her anymore she has become some one entirely different.
She was
Darquesse.
what do you think?
DEREK LANDY I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS PIECE ABOUT HER!
YOU SHOULD WRITE MORE!!! thats really cool! try writing a fanfic! i want spoilers, does the reflection become Darquesse?
nooooooooo Valkyrie becomes Darquess
hello?
sorry, was working on something else
hmmm, i thought it would be the reflection because it's breaking out of the rules and it has the memory gaps and all. so val would be fighting the reflection, because it goes all evil and crazy
i have a feeling they're going to have some huge major fight in the sixth book but seriously why not order the fifth book thats what i did i have all five and i live in the US where they only have three of them out on shelves in book stores go to amozon UK thats where i got mine well the fourth and fifth books at least brb got to do something or other
k im back my mom wanted to know something about her phone any way where were we?
yess we made a new page!
Caelan? thats not were we where ,i know, but he IS hot
idk im more a Fletcher person omg if you type in Valkyrie and Fletcher in deviant art they have some AMAZING stories
im puttering around DA right now, ill do the search in a sec
good there is this one i love im gonna find it now and tell you what its called
OMG read this one!
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=Valkyrie+and+Fletcher#/d2qbrlq
