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?

*cough cough*
Squiggles!
Sorry about that... my dad had a go at fixing the other laptop and in his own words 'it's fucked'... oh how cheerful my dad is lol...
Hey Sarthacus.
Yay, not a loner anymore.
Hmm... I wonder where other people are...
No idea.....
Just so everyone knows... Optimus Prime is a dumbass... I know everyone likes him... but on my DS he is a dumbass... I have Transformers Decepticons on my DS... completed it all... but I was replaying the mission where you track Starscream (traitor) and kill OP... so anyway... I was Megatron (Megabum) and he shot me a few times... so I transformed into a type of plane, flew over a hill, he followed me and I looked down at the sea to see him falling in it... DUMBASS or what? I didn't even touch him... he just randomly fell in the sea and I was like 'lol'...
... and the game took it as I'D killed him... although I didn't shoot him once! And it showed me strike him down although he fell in the sea...
I think he didn't like swimming with the fishes... considering he died...
All high and mighty... hehe dumbass...
Band practice in half an hour, have to go set up amps and stuff, brb
The wolves, my love, will come
Taking us home where dust once was a man
Is there Life before a Death?
Do we long too much and never let in?
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is my church of choice
Love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice
For the rest, I have to say to you
I will dream like the God
And suffer like all the dead children
Howl
7 days to the wolves
Where will we be when they come
7 days to the poison
And a place in heaven
Time drawing near as they come to take us
This is
Where heroes
And cowards
Part ways
Light the fire, feast
Chase the ghost, give in
Take the road less traveled by
Leave the city of fools
Turn every poet loose
*new verse made by Dragona Pine*
Where OP falls into the sea,
Swimming with the fishes,
I don't think he, liked the sea,
Megabum didn't do a thing.
Ok Darkane...
*2nd new verses*
Howl,
OP is dead,
Not a shot to his head,
Just a fish in the sea to,
His watery grave.
Hello! Derek, I think I've probably noticed almost all of the typos. I'm very critical that way, I try not to be but... I don't exactly have my book with me now though...I'm at my granny ma's. And my book is at home.
The only ones I remember are...somewhere you said 'per cent' where it should have been 'percent'. And the other is...well I think it was just a sentence that I found to be not flowing properly. It was in the beginning-ish, with Marr. It was something like...oh dear me I can't really remember. All I know is you used 'and' too many times. When I do go home I can look it over and find the typos for you. :)
Does anyone like my epic verses that I added to Sarthacus' song?
*3rd new verse*
This is where heroes and villains,
Go to battle,
Villains will win, not a piece of string,
OP is dead in the sea.
A much better song now... lol... awsome to start... epic to end...
No, I don't quite like those verses. I used to LOVE Transformers when I was a kid...as well as Power Rangers and Pokemon...I also LOVE the new, live action movies...
*4th new verse*
Starscream is a traitor,
He damaged me,
Megabum killed me,
Starscream killed Blackout, Barricade and Brawl!
But Megabum killed Starscream.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
But be one traveller long I stood,
And looked down one as far as I could...
And I-I took the road less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I don't really remember the entire poem.
*final new verse*
Poor Blackout, oh how tall he was,
A shot to his head,
Megabum controls all,
He killed me, as I was damaged,
I could have been fixed,
He would not allow faliures,
Like Barricade, Blackout and Brraaaawwwwllll!
But I died.
Brb...
Back!
Does anyone like my song?
And is anyone on?
ME!
Thankyou Darkane...
That sums Transformers up pretty much...
Why are you thanking me?
For being on...
AH! I just noticed.
CONGRATULATIONS DEREK ON YOUR 50TH BLOG POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because Kallista cloned me...
What about Canada??? I don't like being referred to as America...No I don't have any problems with America...And yes we are all on the same continent or whatever it's called...But yes we are TWO DIFFERENT countries.
I agree, Canada is different to America. Other wise Scott Pilgrim would be American and that wouldn't work.

Owner: Master Derek/Derek Landy/Golden God.
Kings and Queens: Dragona (of Camelot as was crowned before), Kallista (crowned herself queen of... nothing), Nicolette (crowned queen of randomness), Florence (queen of violence), Darkane (queen of sport), Sarthacus, (king of music), Mary (queen of... something), Ben (queen of typing fast)... Most people on this blog.
Ok then Canadian is added...
Queen of something??!
Did you like the Factfile I did Derek?
*looks around for Golden God*
No...?
Yeh mary I don't know what your queen of... anyway brb tea...
Gtg Band practice.
Oi! I have scotch eggs! add them in!
Grrr...how about great spelling, proper sentences, NOT using text talk? Hm...
God, I sound a little angry today...
Bem QUEEN of typing fast?
Lol.
I loooooove the skulduggery books so much that I have them shipped from the uk to my home in the us as soon as they come out.
YAY! 300!
Good god i am tired. having a movie blog is dificult. Sarthacus and Kallista, i hope you're still reading it!
But yes. I see so many movies. Not just for my blog, but just in general. I had not realized this until recently, but the number of movies i watch is... well... ridiculous.
You see, i want to be an actor/director, so whenever i want to see a movie i can just call it "research for my career." My parents just loooove that.
And now neverending scenes and lines from movies are endlessly flowing through my mind!!
Sarthacus: what is your profile picture? it's small on my screen and i can't quite see it.
Mr. Landy, you should read my movie review blog. It's fairly brilliant in my humble opinion.
Also, any news on the rumored Skulduggery movie?? i'm holding my breath (figureatively, of course) for it. And as soon as the time for auditions is decided, we minions want to know!!
Thank you.
THOR!!!
It's a drawing of Skulduggery.
Why haven't you ben on for so long???
Back...
Lol Ben QUEEN of typing fat... I actually meant to say Queen...
*fast... not fat damn typos...
Typing fat??? We type WORDS here, not fat. Cooking room is just dpwn the corner.
Brb...
*parachutes in with clones and ninja goldfish, landing perfectly beside the sliding Kallista with machine guns*
Don't laugh at my hair... my hair is cool!
I got crowned by Flo because I pulled a sword out of a stone...
*picks pickles out before throwing them on the floor*
Like people have been saying, there's an 'a' missing in the bit where...Caelan tastes Valkyrie's blood I think...
My dear Sarthacus, i told you all this on my movie blog. CLEARLY you have not been following my blog very well. TRAITOR!!
haha kidding, kidding. I've just been really busy.
I have missed you all. Its gooood to be back
meh, i feel soooo ill!
and i still have to go to school tomorrow. lucky me.
I'm back...
Please say I'm not larryfied...
Question for anyone that may know:
I just got my skulduggery pleasant battle cards in the mail, and id like to know who made the drawings on them. Is it Tom Percival or someone else? Also is Necromancy a form of Adept magic or its own discipline altogether? Also, is Teleporting Adept, or its own type?
Am I a loner?
Necromancy and Teleportation are Adepts...
no im here dragona,
and im feeling achey
i felt all weak and sore this morning and then i went to horse-riding. this would have been ok exept i fell off the horse, forward rolled over its head and landed onto a hard jumping pole.
so as you can imagine im feeling dandy!
I don't know which book it's in... one of the first ones, it says : 'Adepts mainly focus on phycical attacks, Necromancy and Teleportation' or something like that... I'm not quite sure...
Poor you Geckogirl...
Hm. Thanks dragona. oh that's a pretty cool profile picture. What's it from?
Thanks... it's from the Internet... I saved it and inverted the colours from an Ice-dragon to a Fire-dragon...
I don't know why it turned orange from silver but ah well...
Oh and Thor... you and me kinda don't know eachother but just to make things clear, I'm a boy... some people at the start thought I was a girl for some dommented reason...
wow actually thats kinda cool dragona!
Ah. yes, i assumed you were a boy. (just so you know, people porabably think your a girl because your profile name ends with an "a")
oh and im a girl thor, well if you hadnt guessed by the name.
*probably
Thanks Geckogirl...
ah, yes the name did help my figure that one out Geckogirl. You know, you are actually the reason i changed my profile picture. the 2 of us had the same one for a while
A is a femanine word ending for Spanish, is that right? Good thing I'm not Spanish... but Dragono doesn't have the same ring to it...
ahh yes. Very true.
My original taken name was Dragoona Pine... but it looked weird when you spelt it so I changed it to Dragona... I'm glad I did now though...
oh really?
i do appologize thor
Oh: Geckogirl and Dragona: how old are you two? (roughly, if you're not comfortable saying it all on the internet). i'm trying to figure out how many of you people are my age.
haha it's ok Geckogirl
Also: yes, Dragona does sound much better... rolls of the tonuge better
I'm 13... but the weird thing is that I'm 6ft 3 and a half...
oh im 13, how bout u thor?
Oh and btw I'm phycic and I have a photographic memory... no one knows except for me though and some people on this blog... not even my parents for my friends know... I've kept it to myself :D
hey dragona ur 13 too! i didnt actually know, i knew u were a similar age but i didnt know u were the same age
Good god you're tall! oh my. and your that height at age 13??? wow. how about you, Geckogirl?
Yeh my height at 13 is 6ft 3 and a half...
oh ok. 13. photographic memory?? impressive. you're like the blog's little Sherlock Holmes. I'm 14
oh and im obbsessed with skulduggery and the new bbc series sherlock.
also i like alpacas and pringles
It isn't impressive Thor... being phycic and having a photographic memory is a CURSE! But I must admit it can be useful...
Haha. geckogirl, we are alll obssesed with Skulduggery. And yes, Sherlock is quite good.
A curse, dragona? i disagree! reading minds would be infinately helpful.
Oh btw again... me and Flo both have a photograpic memory... hers is worse, she was once in a coma for 3 days when she had a memory attack... when I have one it just makes me feel tired and sometimes have a headache...
And I am phycic and probably Nicolette is too... I'm not sure about Nicolette but I deffinatly am...
What?
Reading minds?
I'm not telepathic!
Having a photographic memory just means you remember everything and you sometimes have memory attacks when you see your past... I can't read minds...
im only phycic when it comes to cludo.
my dad wont play with me anymore coz he thinks i cheat *sniffles*
hey kallista!
Dragona: in all honesty i cannot tell if you're serious or joking.
haha Hi Kallista! I see you joined my blog. I also see that you've changed your profile picture in the months i've been gone for.
I am being serious!
Why would I joke about that?
If you dream about things that'll happen up to a year away, how would you feel?
I haven't seen someone die though...
Geckogirl: cludo? what's that?
I will let you know Kallista...
Hmmm. Interesting, Kallista. i will take that into consideration :)
oh and how old are you? (i'm trying to figure out how many of you are my age)
Dragona: can you control what parts of the future you see?
cluedo i ment cluedo.
you've never heard of cluedo? :O
its like a muder mystery board game. actually im kinda including it in my sherlock fan-fic
you shall have to read it on my blog next week when i finish it ;)
bye Kallista!
Geckogirl: i am about to check out your blog
(oh and Kallista: im 14 too.)
No, I can't... most of it is really fast but I can make some things out... but I can't change the future unless I see something happen like if someone gets frauded by using a credit card for buying... dunno, petrol? (I haven't seen it I'm just using it as an example), then I could tell them to pay by cash and then that future wouldn't happen... I don't really know much... I just worked it out that I was phycic a year ago...
And in some cultures the small people serve the tall...
*arches eyebrow*
thanks thor, yay! another person cheaking out my blog!
haha nice job Kallista :P
Hey I'm 14 in 13 days...
*uses magic yorkshire pudding to make the eyebrow come back and also makes Kallista fly round the room faster than the speed of sound*
Sorry Dragona, i think Kallista and i still win. haha
Kallista and Geckogirl: under My Blogson both of your profiles, there are multiple blogs. which one do i look at?
YES
I got 400 :D
fixed typo: under My Blogs on
bye Kallista!
Hey Dragona: do you have a blog?
I do... I post stories and random things on it...
I'm doing an SP and a Anthony Horrowitz fanfic at the mo... but I do some random posts like pics, vids etc... some funny ones of me on Star Wars Battlefront, Driv3r and GTA San Andreas are on there somewhere...
excelent. i shall look it up.
It's alright... not the best blog ever...
i think mr blunt's lines are very well written
Thanks Thor...
Bloomin hell I have a headache... it doesn't really hurt it's just an annoying one...
I say it alot... I just say it when I'm thinking...
Ah. sorry about your headache
It's nothing to do with you so don't be sorry... I've put some 4head on and it's getting better...
soz g2g pizza is here
bye peps :D
Now when I said 'it's nothing to do with you' it sounded evil... I just meant it as in like 'no one can help a headache' sort of thing...
Bye Geckogirl...
Am I alone?
again with the "Hmm"...
sorry, i've gotta head out too Dragona. Got to defend my house from a mass zombie attack and whatnot. Bye!
Ok Thor...
Is anyone else on?
Anyone at all?
Derek, I have noticed a similarity between two blogs, this one 'Call for typos' and another one 'A call to arms'... do you like calling?
And 'A call for questions'

Glitter very important

Fine, he'll get GREEN eyelashes
*puts the eyelashes on Dragona. Accidently pokes him in the eye*
