Woohoo!

I've got nothing to say!!

Ahem. Sorry. You probably read the title of this entry and thought to yourself "Ooooh he has good news that he's going to share with us!"

Well, no. I mean, yes, I have good news, but no, I won't be sharing it quite yet. I have to wait until I CAN share it, you see?

And before you all start thinking that this is about a Skulduggery movie- it isn't! It IS Skulduggery related, but it's not about a movie. But I can't tell you what it IS about. Sorry.

Which leaves me with nothing to say. Er. How about a nice photo instead?

I found this, bizarrely, somewhere on the internet. I have no idea where. But it shows a certain somebody- who may resemble a certain detective- in the days before the Bentley.

  12. @ Anya - we're waiting for our comment boxes to load.

    Dear Mr. Landy,

    It's about freaking time you posted.

    I'm supposed to say something about Lenka. You remember her, good writer? I never met her. But I bet you remember being a young student and having a teacher, or maybe more than one, telling you to get your head out of the clouds and do your freaking homework already. Tell her not to listen. Like I said, I don't know her, but my friends care about her a lot, so I'm sure she's worth the effort.

    My goat died this morning in a freak accident, the baby. She had a lot of potential. I'm drunk now or I wouldn't mention, at least not on the first page of comments. Young impressionable minions: I don't recommend this. I can't go down stairs safely, and I'm still bawling my eyes out. Friends are good, though. Friends, not booze.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Not the second comment. The first one. I did not 'LOL' at the goat. Sorry for any confusion.

  14. F"DEREK LANDY, SIR! WE NEED YOUR HELP.
    One of your minions, Lenka Sweet has been going through a lot lately. She has writen fanfic in the past and has a real gift for it. Over Christmas break her story was one that you read. 
    But during that time and after, Lenka has been discouraged by many things, including a thoughtless teacher who made Lenka doubt her abilities and dreams. She has not really been on since then.
    Derek Landy. Could you please do a post in where you encourage her writing and encourage her to come back?
    I know you are very busy. But she is very important. Did you have any people who wouldn't believe in your ability when you were younger?

    DEREK! YOU COMMENTED ON MY BLOG REVIEWS! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

    I posted them just today and I was gonna wait till you posted on here to tell you, in the comment section, about the reviews and ask you to read them. And then YOU found ME, the blog I mean. Could you get anymore fantastic, any more psychic? I think not! And you left a COMMENT! A WHOPPER and just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard (especially from someone whose writing I criticized)! And then I noticed all these typos in the reviews and - here's the clincher - I could hardly manage to feel like an idiot at all, because I was so happy!!!! You rock! I wish we could have a real conversation about it all too, I so wish that! But the main things I want to say are: Skulduggery is absolutely allowed to act insane now and then, considering all he's been through. I'd understand if he acted insane ALL the time, considering all he's been through. But I love him because he's a good person IN SPITE of all he's been through. For a while, as I read Dark Days, I felt like it didn't make sense that, although he had just been through something horrible, he was just now acting insane when he'd been through horrible things back in the day too and still managed to act civil. But after thinking about it, I knew it was because the Faceless Ones were so recent that he was acting worse than usual. Still, I was worried because I have a habit of discovering books where the authors have this twisted sense of morality and they'll have psychotic characters and try to convince the readers the characters are just acting normal, and a lot of people seem to fall for it (*cough* Glee *cough*). I just had to know that you weren't doing that, that you knew Skul wasn't acting right. And you do know that, because you rock! Also, I'm sure I'll like the next books if only because all the books are well-written and exciting. I may not like them as much as The Faceless Ones, but once you hit a peak like that book, it's hard to top it. =) Lastly, I'm glad Skulduggery and Valkyrie will always be friends. They really were meant to be.

    Here's the link for anyone who wants to read the reviews at my blog. I reviewed books 1 - 5 of Skulduggery. http://minniefacts.blogspot.com/

    Go ahead. My blog doesn't bite. Pleeeaase!

    ReplyDelete
  54. just wanna know, in the case that skulduggery was made into a movie... would there be a video game based on it????

    ReplyDelete
  55. A video game is a pretty freaking awesome idea.

    Kal, waiting for that to load... probably should wait for it before I hit post here. Think Leona's loading stuff on her laptop.

    I give all my sympathy to Lenka. I know that feeling when you start to doubt yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Derek, you`re a tease. Telling us that there`s something you CAN`T tell us is REALLY mean. You should be deeply ashamed and guilt-ridden ;-)

    Also, the picture is great. Didn`t know Skulduggery could ride a bike - and where the hell are his clothes?!

    And now I`ll just guess at what the good news could be. Hmm... you got a new, better offer for a book deal including 3 MORE books about Skulduggery for us and lots of money for you?
    Skulduggery is made into a graphic novel (that would be awesome)?

    On a side note: I saw a motorbike today that had "Valkyrie" written on it. Since when does she own a motorbike? It looked great, by the way, all black and silver and shiney...

    But during that time and after, Lenka has been discouraged by many things, including a thoughtless teacher who made Lenka doubt her abilities and dreams. She has not really been on since then.
    Derek Landy. Could you please do a post in where you encourage her writing and encourage her to come back?
    I know you are very busy. But she is very important. Did you have any people who wouldn't believe in your ability when you were younger?


    This comment is posted in the hope that you can help our friend Lenka come back to the blogs. Her own blog can be viewed here: http://lenkasweet.blogspot.com/
    Sincerely,
    Your minions."

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  84. Maybe he can't tell us, because he doesn't know when it will be out, but he does know that it will be earlier than it was origionally supposed to be?

    ReplyDelete
  85. That theory is assuming that IS what is is that he isn't going to tell us yet ^^

    ReplyDelete
  86. you'r proberbly right, but you never know it could be some form of Skulduggery Pleasant shampoo? LOL !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  87. LOL!! A good point!

    i still think Skulduggery-brand-tomato-ketchup would be a good idea though...

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yeah cool, we're SO imaginative !!!!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I usualy try to guess whats going to hapen in every new book; i always fail, he makes his books so good that no one could of guessed what going to happen !!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Yup! Derek is a very extremely brilliant author, so I can't imagine it's very hard for him... Or maybe it IS... Who knows...?

    ReplyDelete
  91. But there you go, i bet he was always getting good feedback from his teatchers at school with the things he wrote.

    ReplyDelete

  99. *Blinks*

    Wait, a thought just occurred to me. If that's Skulduggery, then who are the other two men in the picture? Mr. Bliss? Did he have a mustache?

    Or Kenspeckle? That guy on the bench somewhat reminds me of Finbar, for some weird reason...
