Call For Typos

Hmmm...

Just flicking through the books to remind myself of some details/dates, and I stumbled across a typo. I know there are a few in the books- it's kind of inevitable when the deadlines are this close together- but by the time the new paperback editions are published in April, I want all these typos to be fixed. Which is where YOU come in, my Minions.

I know that most of you have read these books a few times because you're, you know, insane and everything.  Have you noticed the typos? Can you remember where they were? There are a few glaring ones, mistakes that I just should have caught, but for whatever reason I didn't. Care to help?

Tell your parents
you SHOULD audition for Fletcher!
You can dye your hair
and try to shrink
and you CAN be annoying sometimes...





like when you stab me

Dragona Pine said...

And people will ask me to read their future and all sorts... I can only read my own so far, I think as I get older my thing may get better... but at the moment I can read my own future and things to do with me... but I can sense things on other people...

Lunar Tears said...

ELVIS LYRIC

Do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair?

Dragona Pine said...

YOU DESERVE IT LUNAR!


Especially when you tease... and about the apparant 'wedding' which won't happen...

Dragona Pine said...

They think phycics and all that stuff are rubbish and are fakes...

Dragona Pine said...

But I suspected something for a while... and then the buisness with the snowballs was weird and I then realised I WAS phycic... I don't really know much about it though...

Lunar Tears said...

a random boy I don't know...

Dragona Pine said...

Yes Kallista, I appriciate it but it seems when I'm on the computer it helps my tiredness... and my headache but it might just be taking my mind off things...

Dragona Pine said...

I am not fun to tease... there is nothing to tease me about...

Dragona Pine said...

I don't think I'll tell anyone... I'll keep it all to myself and you guys :D

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona Pine said...

I know but you guys will believe me... I know no one else will...

Star Lord said...

*Sticks claws in bazooka bullet, spins round and throws it at Kallista*

Dragona Pine said...

Dragona Pine said...

*Kallista goes flying through the wall as Dragona beats up Lunar for telling lies*

Dragona Pine said...

Lunar Tears said...

I WILL NOT STAND HERE AND BE TARGET PRACTICE FOR DRAGONA!

*CRAWLS BACK THROUGH WALL*

I guess I'll just sit here, then

Dragona Pine said...

You're good target practise... you irritate me...

*blasts Lunar through the wall again*

Lunar Tears said...

You lot are violent people

Thinking of one in particular

*glares at Dragona*

Dragona Pine said...

And you tell lies Lunar...

Dragona Pine said...

Oh and btw Sarthacus...


*blasts his claws up to his brain*


Now that's for saying I love Flo... much better...

Dragona Pine said...

Lunar Tears said...

*crawls through wall, AGAIN*

THIS IS REALLY IRRITATING ME!

THAT WAS MY MAM'S FAVOURITE VASE!

Draggy=Dragona

Dragona Pine said...

*catches the vase and throws it back at Lunar*

Lunar Tears said...

GO KALLISTA!

Dragona Pine said...

*knocks the bazooka out of Kallistas hand as she fires, knocking the 'jello' off target*


*continues fighting kallista with sword-pillow with POTC mucic still going on*

Lunar Tears said...

Dragona Pine said...

I warn you... I'm a trained sword fighter... I trained myself :D Somehow...

Dragona Pine said...

*Dragona does not give up and stabs kallista with cushion*


*realises it is a pin cushion as pins impale Kallista*

Oops...

Lunar Tears said...

*sits sulking in corner as mayhem surrounds her*

Dragona Pine said...

*knocks the pillow from Kallista and heals the wounds, holding a pillow to her throat*

Dragona Pine said...

See Lunar... you tell lies, you get left out...

Lunar Tears said...

*sighs and shakes head*

Children




















you lot need to learn how it's done










*but still continues to glare at Draggy*

Dragona Pine said...

*dodges the cannon and turns it round, fires at Kallista, still holding the pillow to her throat*

Dragona Pine said...

Now lets get a bit more interesting...

*uses magic yorkshire pudding to change the pillows into swords, making a random wheel come underneath them, recreating the scene from POTC Dead Mans Chest*


*continues fighting Kallista with swords as the wheel is rolling*

Lunar Tears said...

I taught some one a valuable lesson today...















































EVERY THING YOU HEAR IS A LIE









THEREFORE I AM TELLING THE TRUTH















THEREFORE I AM LYING
















WE CONFUSED OURSELVES WITH THAT

Dragona Pine said...

*knocks the sword out of her hand, holding his sword to her throat, she surrenders*

Dragona Pine said...

Lunar... you said I love Flo... that is a lie...

Lunar Tears said...

Hmm...

Still children





But I like the glitter :D

Dragona Pine said...

*looks to Kallista's wheel as it falls over, squishing kallista as it goes, Dragona cuts himself free*

Lunar Tears said...

Fine, even though you do love Flo, I'll admit you don't love Flo








Please stop using me as a punching/bean bag

Dragona Pine said...

I don't love Flo Lunar...


And no, I won't...

Dragona Pine said...

*ignores the lobsters*


If that was my dream... it wasn't interesting as my normal ones... or as depressing and tiring... so I don't think that's mine...

Lunar Tears said...

Draggy needs a good scream

Dragona Pine said...

*ignores the bees*


I'm not scared of bees Kallista... if no one hasn't told you yet, I never give up and I never run...

Lunar Tears said...

lol

*waits for Draggy to join hug*

Dragona Pine said...

*Kallista realises as she came into hug, a throwing knife is in her stomach*

Dragona Pine said...

I don't surrender...

Lunar Tears said...

hhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllppppppppp













ffffffffllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg aaaaaaa hhhhhhheeeeeeeeeelllllllllicccccccooooooooppppppppppptttttttttteeeerrrrrrrrrr

Dragona Pine said...

*picks up Kallista*


If you want to fight... then no weapons...

Lunar Tears said...

draggy, you are mean, therefore you are not, but you think I always lie, therefore you are

Dragona Pine said...

*picks the bees out, they are dead from gel suffocation and spikes*

Lunar Tears said...

*dresses in black for Kallista's funeral*

Dragona Pine said...

I don't lie... when I do I merely change the truth... and I am not mean... I am reasonable...

Lunar Tears said...

It's not just ANY vacuum cleaner, it's an M&S vacuum cleaner

Lunar Tears said...

I wouldn't say throwing me through a wall and killing Kallista was reasonable


It's violent




and cruel











and mean

Dragona Pine said...

No... you irritate me, saying I love Flo... and Kallista started it...

Lunar Tears said...

*sticks lower lip out in stubbornness, turns heads away, and looks insanely childish*

Lunar Tears said...

But I don't INTEND to irritate you (most of the time) and I've stopped saying that now

And how you react to things define who you are

Lunar Tears said...

where is kallista?

Dragona Pine said...

You said it on this page... it irritates me...


I agree with that Lunar, but I react only to things which irritate me... I don't really go round doing what I did then...

Dragona Pine said...

WHERE IS EVERYONE?

Sarthacus

Dragona Pine said...
