Here you are, my Minions, all of the Ireland and UK public events are listed below. In between all these, I’ll be doing a lot of school events, but these are the ones where anyone will be able to attend.
As usual, whole sections will be missed out, because every year I try to visit different regions. So if I’m not going to be anywhere near you this year, I’ll probably be there in 2012. Maybe.

There'll probably be two more signings around Ireland on the 17th, but I don't know where yet.
Oh, and on the 15th and 16th of October I'll be at the Frankfurt Book Fair!
Oh, and on the 15th and 16th of October I'll be at the Frankfurt Book Fair!
You can bring whatever you have and I'll do my best to sign everything. Naturally, if the queue is huge and time is running out, I may only be able to sign one thing per person, but I'll try my best. If you're lucky, only half a dozen people will actually turn up and then we'll have LOADS of time to chat! Oh, and if this "one book per person" rule comes into effect, try not to take it personally.
When I was over in Australia I'd been signing for two or three hours and I was seriously running out of time, so we announced that I'd only be able to sign one book per person in order to get through everyone. Now, all the people standing in the queue were very cool and understanding about it, they didn't mind one little bit...
... apart from this one particular boy.
I'm sure he regrets it now, but he started to stamp his feet when his mother told him that no, Derek couldn't sign everything. And then he started whining. And then he started crying. And his face was all red and blubbery and I was trying to explain, as quickly and as kindly as possible, that I just didn't have the time, but he kept stamping his feet in front of EVERYBODY and I was trying my best not to break out laughing. The poor little lad. So I said fine, okay, and I scrawled my name on his books and his mother took him away, hanging her head in shame.
It was, and I really don't want to be mean here, hysterically funny, and even remembering it now has me laughing...
So, beware of this rule! As more and more people read the books, and as more and more books are released, I obviously don't have the time I used to. But if everything goes according to plan I should have plenty of time to sign, doodle and- most importantly for me- chat to you guys while I'm sitting there.
Oh, and hugs are encouraged (time-permitting).

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 3225 Newer› Newest»That is kinda awesome. Not as awesome as MLP fic would be, though.
I know somebody who reads it!
Is it your husband?
BB, I thought manga was something you read?
I've finally finished typing the pizza recipe! I think. I might have missed out some ingredients.... I'm not really sure.
Sorry. My mind has been too frazzled. I need to use the bathroom.
.....
TMI.
LOL My dad has a MLP wallpaper for 2 of the computers. ^_^
Er, he might, but I doubt it. I've never known him to read fic. Do you know if he does, Leona?
Um, I don't think he does, no.
I read fan-fic!
I was just guessing, because I knew he was a Brony.
Yay, I finally finished crossing Latias and Leafeon. xD
back :]
Latias or Latios?
I cannot imagine what that looks like.
Actually, NM.
Going to watch MLP.
Be back in 22-ish minutes!
Latias, though I might try it with Latios later.
*grumbles*
my fingers are freezing. They're literally trembling.
brb RS wants me to play Mario party.
did everybody disappear?
... it gets that cold there, Tess?
im here, srry, im reading
No.... I went to the toilet, washed my hands then came back, and the air-conditioner was like 16 degrees. Plus it's raining outside.
CHEESE.
REG
I'M A SUPERSTAR, YEAH!
That was quick. :-P
lol

...and now she wants me to play again. -.-
Meh.
MLP: cba
Kindasorta back.
*wears work clothes* I'm ready to kick ass. :]
REG
I hope that's Celsius.
Is it a good idea to compose a poem for a political party?
@Ann: It's celcius. It's not so freezing now, because we switched off the fans and it has stopped raining.
*scowls* Got like 10 projects to do by next week. Hell.
@Tessa - why would you want to?
@Niall - cba?
I've moved on to Falpjsck.
Everybody loves Flapjack.
See you in twenty!

Goodnight, Raven! *hugs*
Bye Raven!
DEREK! I shall be a noob and post a weird post :]
Hi Master Derek,
I love you. I love your books. I love your creativity. I wish that I could have the same creativity as you. I'm really reconsidering my friends now. They all think that you and all your fans, which include me, are demonic or possessed or something. Don't ask me, I don't know what they're thinking of. I hope that you are producing a movie, because then Skulduggery will last at least another 9 years.
Butterflies
gtg guys, probably will try to be on later. Cya! *glomps each one in turn*
Oh yeah, I mentioned this, but I'm not sure whether you saw it or not, but the Pizza recipe is officially on my blog with no flaws. I think anyway!
*runs off*
Hey! I'm your friend! And I don't think you're... well, if I did think you were demonic or possessed or something, it wouldn't be because of SP, anyway.
Dear Master Derek,
Your books are awesome. You are awesome. I am tired and cannot think of very many words right now. Hooray for awesomeness. *falls asleep* *snores*
PIZZA YAY YAY YAY! *goes to look*
Later, Tessa!
Bye Tess!
LOL. *hugs Leona* How can you be tired?
I need to go clean out the truck, as the rightful owners are supposed to be picking it up in about half an hour. AFK a bit.
LOL I dunno, I haven't done anything today, I shouldn't be tired. :P
Remind me to do something tomorrow, will ya?
*goes outside looking for Ann*
*doesn't return to keyboard because is asleep outside*
Blargfrak. Mr Sun says Hi.
I really need to stop pulling all-nighters...
Why? All-nighters are awesome fun. XD

I was too too too shy to ask you a question last time (being a woman grown at a book signing the book store told me was geared to 7-10 year olds...) but attending your book signing was the absolute best!

BOO! Your not coming to Belfast!! *sob* Why, oh why do you do this to your faithful N.I residents? Some day I hope you come up and I will be waiting, in the shadows, watching your every move.......Yes well, maybe not as creepily as that but something along those lines, may leave out the shadows part, can't waste the sunshine whenever it emerges on its annual 'Hello, yes it's me the sun, uh huh, big yellow thing, yup still here' appearance.
Well, hope you enjoy your tour!! Perhaps next year for us who missed out on the beaut Irish accent, eh?

~looks frightened~
Sorry!!
~hopes I haven't angered Venice~
~goes to dA~
Kallista, you shouldn't be worried about that! Derek Landy reads ALL of the comments. I'm sure he might get a bit tired of it sometimes, but overall, I think he enjoys it. Don't worry about people being annoyed about us chatting here, 'cause there's nothing wrong with it, and you shouldn't stop because of them!
~hugs~
Good to see you, by the way :]
REG
i found my old notebook!
so will upload some of it!!
When will you be doing a book signing in leeds,west yorkshire in the future because I cant get to any of the signings this year. :(

Ah, sorry, guys, I'm talking with multiple people on three different places with different conversations and stuff xD
@Geckogirl
Epica! I want to read it!
@Ann Marie
I hope YOU'RE still here!
~glomps~
Skyril! Hi! If you see Kal tell her I miss her.
Yay!
~glomps Ann~
I only saw her for amount 30 seconds earlier then she had to go :/
I miss her too, and if I do see her, I'll tell her :]
OK! Thanks. <3
*is glomped*
*struggles*

I'm not much good company, am I?
Ah, well, hopefully I'll see you later and be better company, because I have to go now. Supper and stuff... Farewell!
~waves madly~
....YAY IT WORKED :D
hi everybody
North American fans should spam the idea of a North American book signing tour. There's a lot of us over here. Just saying.
exactly :D
Anyone still online?
Derek! You gotta come to SINGAPORE! PLEASE! I'M RIGHT HERE! YES! HERE! NONONONONONO! DON'T LOOK AWAY! PLEASE! SOS! HELP!
*Derek looks away*
*crumples to the floor*
Oh god.........
I'm back!
Bye Skyril!
Hi Tori! Hi Tessa! Hi... Invisible Fly is too long to type. Pick a shorter nick or I'll pick one for you.
*sobs*
Oh god.... you gotta come to Singapore.....please..... I beg you.... If you come to Singapore it'll gimme proof that you and I, like your other fans, are not possessed....... please.......oh god..........
Maybe Singapore could move to the US! Save him a trip!
Fly is just fine.
ANN! *glomps* I don't know. I'm thinking of moving to Ireland when I grow up. I want my children to grow up where the great Master lives!
...
And also to experience snow :]
Fly! *glomps* Weird glomping a fly isn't it? Reminds me of Mar. Mar-Chu. God.
Ok! Hi, Fly!
Snow is overrated! Also cold. I'm not fond.
It is pretty, though. Oh, but it's heavy and it breaks stuff!
*awkward silence*
Hi everyone! I take back my earlier comments about the comments. I like this being a chat room.
Lawl Fly. *hugs* It happens. When I was first here, I didn't like the chatroom either. But now I love it <3 But now I gtg guys. Will be back online after about...... 1 n a half hour? not really sure. Buhbye ;)
Um, you might want to say something to Kallista. She's very empathetic, and wants people to be happy, and feels uncomfortable chatting here now because she doesn't want to take anything away from anyone else.
Bye, Tessa! *hugs*
Fly?
I was trying really hard not to make Kal feel like she was wrong or overreacted or anything, but I don't want you to feel like you were wrong or mean, either. I fail at diplomacy, I know.
Oh, Kallista, I would love you to join the conversation again. You sound like someone who I would get along with.
:-) Thanks!
There were a lot more people here yesterday.
*mopes*
I'm back!
~glomps Ann again~
Hullo! :D
~Hopes Ann is still there~
~wonders if Fly is still there since I never got to greet him~
I had gumbo for supper. It was quite good :]
Yay Skyril! HI!
~decides to ramble aimlessly til someone appears~
Yay! Greetings and salutations, Ann!
~throws purple confetti all over the place~
Is it weird that I think it would be fun to experience amnesia? I mean, I wouldn't want to have for very LONG, but, you know, just for a couple weeks, then I get all of my memory back :P
Anndrew makes a good veggie gumbo. Yum... kinda want some now.
Have you seen Texas Ranch House?
I've have so many good friends online... I hope they are all able to stay for a very long time.
Texas Ranch House? Is it a restaurant? I've seen a restaurant called Texas Rode House...
Hum. You know, I think that might be weird even by my standards.
No, it's one of those historical-re-enactment reality shows. Like Frontier House! Except on a ranch. In Texas. We just finished it, and didn't enjoy it. Kind of a disturbing psychological experiment.
LOL :P Yeah, you're probably right... but I also think it would be cool to have schizophrenia....
Anyway, moving on :P
Oooh, I see! And no, I haven't. Sounds interesting, though.
...do you know anyone with schizophrenia?
Or do you mean multiple personalities?
Hmm, well, I suppose multiple personalities, and I really meant I think it would be cool to know someone with multiple personalities. I don't think I would like to have it myself.
I know a couple, mostly integrated, but a little disconcerting. So far as I know, it's mostly developed as a coping strategy for the horribly abused. I wouldn't like you to have it.
I just find it so interesting, is all. I don't know what it is, but it almost fascinates me. I would like to become friends with someone with it.
((((Kallista)))) Glad you're here!
Sorry your mom is a spaz. She always like that when she's driving?
Kallista!!!
~glomps~
So good to see you! :D
Awesome! Sounds fun. Well, the concert does, anyway. Glad you're alright! I've had to basically jump into a car before as well xD It wasn't very fun!
Um. Well, my husband has some mild disassociative stuff going on, though not so much lately. It's not really like in movies. doubt I could get him to post here, though I could point you at his LJ.
I have another friend with more distinct personalities, but I don't talk to her much cause invariably I trigger her somehow, and instead of having a normal adult discussion with an adult, I'm suddenly talking to a scared, defensive child. And then she runs away.
Not just when she's driving? My mom learned to drive kind of late, and it stressed her out. She gets spazzy under stress. Come to think of it, so do I. *nervous laugh*
Your computer better?
I know it's different from movies, but I still find it interesting. I don't like that it only develops from the abused, though... I mean, I would prefer no one had it since it generally comes from abuse, but since people already have it, then I'd like to chat with someone face to face sometime... just chatting, you know, nothing about their condition. I would like to really become friends with them, though, I wouldn't feel right just chatting with them to study their behavior.
Hi Skyril! Good to meet you too.
Kallista, sorry to hear that about your mother. Was the bagpipe concert good though?
@Kal
Really? That would be... stressful to say the least. It would be nice to be able to calm her down somehow. Does she like the smell of lavender? I know that scent is relaxing to most people...
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It sounded cool :D
Greetings, Fly!
And, ur, "too"? I haven't said it's nice to meet you yet! :P
I mean, sure, I did THINK that it would be cool if you were still here, so that I could greet you... :P
LOL
Anyway, Pleasure to make your acquaintance! :D
Maybe volunteer at a soup kitchen or something? People with a mental illness or who have experienced trauma sometimes find it hard to stay employed.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance too :)
I'm glad it works enough for you to post here, anyway. *hugs*
Great to get a chance to chat with you, Kal! :D
and it's very good that your comp is working much better. It was ridiculous before.
Back, But I can't stay for long. DAMMIT, I'M FREEZING AGAIN.
*glomps everyone*
*gives Tessa a cat to keep her warm*
*is given a cat*
*cuddles*
*gives Ann Milo*
I think I'm freezing because of cold and fear. I have a Chinese examination later.
*gives everyone Milo*
Aw, that's cute. <3 And so true... er.
It's gonna suck. But I'm probably gonna pass anyway, because I know I revised. URGH. so why am i scared?
*mutters to self*
I'm not scared, I'm not scared......
*hugs cat*
*Cat meows*
That looks strangely like Aquila......
I promise that I'll prepare something for the signing if Derek comes to Singapore.
OH GOD.
*is hugged*
Hi Kal!
Gtg buhbye!
Heya, Butterflies! Sorry for my slow reply xD
~glomps~
Aw, I knew you would be gone as soon as I greeted you!
~pouts~
Farewell, butterflies!
~waves madly~
Bye Tessa!
Hey, on a random note, have y'all ever heard of the band "Stomp"?
LOL I failed! I laughed when I saw your comment, Kal :P
Hey! I got comment 888!
~licks a lollopop~
*takes pictures of pouting Kal and Skyril*
*posts them as entrants in a "cutest, most pouty" contest*
I think I've heard of it...
I have to go! Little bit of light left, I need to use it. *hugs and hugs* Later, y'alls!
Awww, farewell, Ann!
~hugs~
~waves madly~
Woo-hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
lol, sorry, Kal! :P
~joins her in dancing, although I haven't a clue how to dance the Macerena~
LOL!
Oooh, that's right! I had forgotten about that, lol :P
Hey! You got comment 900!
~awards with a lollipop~ :D
Your welcome! :D
~throws purple confetti all over the place~
~dances under confetti and blows bubbles at the swirling purple paper~
Hello again. Sorry, I was watching some tv and forget to refresh the comments page. Hi Kallista, how are you?
Welcome back, Fly! :]
~waves~
Hey, I love the Mentalist! :D Jayne is awesome! I want to get all of the dvds one day, as well as all of Leverage. I've only ever seen about 1 and a half episodes, but it seems really awesome fun, like you said, Kal :D
*High Five* I'm actually watching some episodes of Buffy on my laptop.
Buffy, ay? I've never watched that, but thought it might be interesting. Perhaps I'll watch it one day :]
Hey, where do you live, Fly?
Kal and I live in the USA. Me in the south, she in the north, lol :P
It's pretty good, but I have to admit that I favor Joss Whedon's other projects a little more. Dollhouse was very, very good. And so was Firefly. It's a shame that both were cancelled by Fox.
Joss Whedon made Buffy? I didn't know that! I LOVE Firefly, my brother loves it even more, and he loves Dollhouse as well, although I have never watched it. It's really sad that tv stations cancel the most awesome shows... have you ever seen Pushing Daisies? It's another of my favorites, and it was cancelled :/
