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?

Alexandre Requiem (Lynda) said...

Master, there is a moron who seems to think he knows spoilers about Book 6, when you have clearly not written it yet. You my have the plot line written somewhere,in your usual manner, but REALLY.
A few of the things he said...
Possible spoiler if this is true...
Quote:
"In the sixth book, it is revealed to Skulduggery that it is China who led his family into the trap that got them killed, remember "Skulduggery's Rage" well, wait till he finds out"
What does that even MEAN?
He also seems to think he "knows people at Harper Collins" which is why he knows.
And...
"Something that Tanith does will surprise all of us."
So, Master, what say you?

Oh, and on the matter of typos...
I am not sure if this has been said, but in Dark Days, chapter 33, page two, Scarab is speaking with Possessed Kenspeckle. He says "As you know by now, we're hoping that the old man you're wearing like a bad suit has the all the..."
As you have probably figured out, there's an extra "the".
Hope that helps, goodnight from OH MY GOD IT'S NOW SUMMER IN AUSTRALIA AND MY FACE IS MELTING Lynda

Rebella Tears said...

Tanith does something 2 surprise us? like wat? stab Val whilst trying to get Wreath? or something more dark? listen 2 hannah montanna? STOP TORTURING HER!! or u can so long as u make me Val when u write the movie script.

Bethany said...

I have to finish reading The Passage, start reading and then finish Monsters of Men, but after that I had planned to go back and reread the Skulduggery Series so I'll let you know if I spot any ;D

Do you think I should change the perspective to third person in my fan fic?

Dragona Pine said...

No, I like it as it is :D

Darkane Claw said...

I'm not sure. It's actually kind of hard writing first person.

Dragona Pine said...

I found that with TLOASOTB... that's why I kinda gave it up...

Darkane Claw said...

What does that stand for? I never found out?

Darkane Claw said...

WAIT!!! Does it mean The Live Of A Soldier On The Battlefield?

yesterday one of my friends started up another florence is pregnant ruomour and sadly it spread faster then lighting again. Anyway today i go to school...or rather hop on my crutches and i see DD sitting on his own looking really grumpy so i go and sit next to him asking him whats wrong. he just looks really serious and says "you rather have it with someone else and not me?" i looked at him with my really shocked face and i was about to say thats it not true when he bursts out laughing and hugs me...

Liz said...

oh god, the boys win, they are the weirdest! what sort of friend spreads that kind of rumor?

Geckogirl said...

OMG thats soooo weird!
theres a girl in my class called amiee and everyone always shouts randomly "AMIEE'S PREGNANT!" and its been an on-going joke for 3 years.

some of the teachers join in, others have a very serious talk with the class i do not wish to discuss *shivers*

Dragona Pine said...

I've had another dream of the future... no memory attacks though...

Dragona Pine said...

I'm not moody... I don't get moody... especially not with my friends...

Anonymous said...

what was the dream??

Dragona Pine said...

I was in the middle of sainsburies... and I saw some of my friends from school and some people from this blog, it was weird. It was my minds interpretation of the future so I broke down the natural flow of my dream, and then I just went round sainsburies doing random things... I pushed a trolley into a stack of baked beans :D

Dragona Pine said...

But if I had to guess the sort of link... maybe Sainsburies will be on the news soon... I don't really know... I don't understand my dreams, just watch them.

Anonymous said...

lol baked beans

Dragona Pine said...

I mean... why was I in sainsburies? Does it have anything to do with sainsburies? Why were both you guys and my friends from school there? It just doesn't make sense...

Dragona Pine said...
