Calling All Ameriminions!




What's this, you ask? A brand new Tom Percival cover for Book One? But why? Whatever could be going on?

Well, my loyal and grinning Minions, it's because of the response we've been getting from our American readers that we've decided to have another go in the States. You've all been spreading the word to such an astonishing degree that we figured we'd help you along by re-releasing the first trilogy in eBook format, all with brand new covers. In fact, to FURTHER aid you in your recruiting endeavours, the first book is FREE to download for the entire month of October. 

Because you're awesome. And so am I. 

To see what's happening, just go to www.skulduggerypleasant.com/promo/index.html.

But hark! The news doesn't end there. We're also about to run a first-of-its-kind competition for my American Minions (Ameriminions?), and my American Minions ONLY. Let's face it, the poor dears have to go through an awful lot to keep up with Skulduggery, so they deserve a bit of special treatment every now and then...!

What does the winner get, you ask? Oh, nothin' much... just the brain-melting honour of a special Halloween short story being set in their home state, starring (and I know you've been missing her) Tanith Low, to be released free in time for October 31st.

And what KIND of competition is it, you're asking now? Why, it's the kind of competition in which you write the first line of the story, and I continue on from there. Simples! So it's up to you, my Ameriminions. It can be as spooky, as crazy, as scary, as funny, as weird or as atmospheric as you like. I've read all your posts, and so I like to think that I know each of you just a little bit, and I know for a fact that you're all, y'know, just a tad... UNUSUAL. Ahem. Oh, and naturally I'll need your permission to actually USE your first line, so at the start of every entry could you all write "I hereby give my Golden God, Derek Landy, full permission to take this line and incorporate it into his wonderful, wonderful story." 

And you had BETTER put that at the start of your entry, because if I find the PERFECT opening line that lends itself so much to a weird and spooky story, and then I realise that you didn't give me your permission to use it...? Why, I'd just have to hunt you down and kill you with a spoon. 

And this is all thanks to the reactions we've been getting from the Ameriminions, so thank you Kallista, Skyril and Mar Chu, and Skulgirl13 (A.K.A Deryn Mellifluous), and Saoirse Equus, and of course Thor, and Thalia, and Ann Marie, and Vivianna Spark, and not forgetting Alana Core, Jugglingpaynes, Laura, Valkyrie V., ToriSkulduggery Skellington, or even Gwaila, Pandora Wakeshima, Ophelia, nights.raven, Arabella Valkyrie PleasantSparrow, Nicole, annaslanski, Naomi Wiflath, MooGirl XD, Bella Votolato/Valkyrie Cain, mmodrall, Artemis Shakora, Ven Curor, Minnie, Lois Lane, Another Individual, Deila, Thornton, legolas3, Anya, Captain Zombie, Lauren Longbottom, Idlewind, Hanna, Gwyneth Noire, Funk Tuba, Docktor,  Dantea William, Cat, Bekka, and last but not least- Andrew. 

Did I miss anyone? I bet I did. Dammit.

RULES:

You MUST give me your permission at the start of your entry! 

There is no limit on word count- it can be as long as you like, or as short, cutting and snappy as you like. But it must ONLY be one line! 

Competition closes on October 23rd. The winner will be announced soon after on this Blog. 

With your entry, please include your home State, not your town. Your State is all I need.

Each person is limited to FIVE entries each.

The short story, once it's finished, will be available to everyone, all around the world. Yippee! (Ahem.)



Anyway! That is the first of our Americaland competitions, and the second will be unveiled next week, with all sorts of goodies up for grabs. But for right now, for THIS competition, all I have to say to my Ameriminions is good luck, and don't be afraid to be different. Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed.

The newly promoted Elder looked up from his papers at the familiar leather-cloaked figure; "Sorry, little sister," he said, "but I've been outvoted; the American Sanctuary refuses to drop the charges."

Hi, I don't really comment much on this blog. Actually, now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that I haven't really commented at all. Oops...

On the other hand, I read Skulduggery Pleasant obsessively and have read every single entry of the blog.

I hereby give my Golden God, Derek Landy, full permission to take this line and incorporate it into his wonderful, wonderful story.

1. No one understands how the sting of a perfectly sharpened sword can feel so good, but that's probably because they are too busy worrying about dying.

2. Tanith jumped across two buildings, slid down a fire escape and dove in the rush-hour traffic of (--city name--).

3. Tanith had always been taught that hard work paid off but she had never thought that she should be the one doing it.

4. The image of the dark-haired girl seemed permanently stuck in Tanith's mind.

5.The numbers on the clock changed again and Tanith was worried about how much that excited her.

I'm from Washington D.C. but I live in Massachusetts. You can use whichever you want.


Oh, and I think you're pretty awesome.

So.
This sounds like it's going to be an AMAZING competition!! The next thousand or so comments should be really interesting to read :3

God, if I won I probably would have a small heart-attack. Then a major spaz attack.
Okay, well, I should probably start thinking then... hrm....
&&Good Luck to Everyone!!!!

THESE ARE NOT MY ENTRIES.
I'm just thinking aloud right now d:

Trinity's breath came out in pale, transparent puffs as the frigid rain hailed down around her- She was pretty sure that legs weren't supposed to bend like this, and that the tall blonde coming towards her with the gleaming smile wasn't merely interested in a friendly chat or borrowing a cup of sugar.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Ugh... I never would've thought that writing five seperate, single sentences would be so hard...

Anonymous said...

Valkyrie V- Glad to see I'm not alone on that xD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I hate not being able to think about something amazing for Derek >:(

Anonymous said...

A wisp of red hair flickered around the corner, like a loose flame waiting to set the building alight, and found herself grinning- she'd caught sight of her prey again.

Trinity McFarland was not like the other children in the slightest- but, until now, it'd never been a reason for anyone to start targeting her.

Trinity swore violently and colorfully under her breath- that last shot there, it'd been closer, hadn't it?

Tanith Low smiled.

Trinity's phone closed with a disappointing clack- no bars, of course there were no bars, wasn't that just /lovely/?

A sword means things are personal, while guns are merely cheap, meaningless death.

I have to go do homework >:[

New York

Tanith Low couldn't stop the rational part of her brain from thinking of all the things she could have been doing other than fighting off crocidiles in a sewer.

Dan North said...

Tanith Low didn't like the mages from the New York Sanctuary, or any Sanctuary for that matter.

"I'm walking here" Tanith said to a random passerby, the action made her smile even though the passerby shot her a dirty look.

1930's New York was certainly a sight to behold but unfortunetly for Tanith Low she couldn't see the sights she had a job to do.

"I can't drive this car" Tanith Low shouted to Frightening Jones "the steering wheel's on the wrong side!"

Lauren Longbottom said...

Thanks! :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Would it be selfish to put me and my friend in my sentence? Because I can certainly manage it.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No response? Fine. I'll consider it.

Anonymous said...

Yay! Happy for the rest of the American Skulduggery fans! That's amazing, i carn't imagine how good it feels
told you derek was amazing ;)

Rosella Embers said...

Hi Mr Derek!

I have a few (more) questions for you that i'll repeat because i'm not sure if you read them... if you don't mind answering them...



1. Do you ever get writer's block? (if so, go to 2. if not, go to 3)

2. What do you do to get rid of writers' block?

3. What do you do when you are writing a story (or part of a story) but you are not very happy with it?

4. Which do you prefer, crossiants or coffee?

5. Thank you very much for You Know What!!! :)

6. What do you do to find inspiration?

7. What do you do when you are bored?

8. How did you come up with the Skulduggery Pleasant idea?

9. When did you decide to become a writer?


Thank you!

Rosella

ENTRY 1:
When the man had screamed his final scream and breathed his final breath, Tanith Low laughed, pulled her sword out of his back and slid it into its scabbard.

It was a dark and stormy night...actually, it was a perfectly bright Tuesday morning, but being chased down the street by a giant squid makes it feel like a dark stormy night; squid spittle feels a lot like rain, and it block most of the sunlight as it's running behind you.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Squid spittle? Interesting...

Rosella Embers said...

I'm around...

Rosella Embers said...

yeah, i know he said he reads all the comments, but i posted that at the end of the last post, so he may have missed it...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I read it.

Rosella Embers said...

:)


yay!

Rosella Embers said...

k, then, what are your answers for those questions?

:) i know i prefer crossiants

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Same here. I’m sure that he would double check any questions, anyway. He’s probably just hoarding.

Rosella Embers said...

hi kal!

*hugs kal*

Rosella Embers said...

heh, you are probably right, acacia.



oh kal! have you finished death bringer yet?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You guys like my sentence?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I think it’s something very… Tanithy :)

Well, the Tanith we know these days. :(

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, unfortunetly Tanith had to be the bad guy, but it's a fun way to go to the extremes with a character >:D

Rosella Embers said...

umm... well, kal, i have no clue how to comment on chat... :(

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Still, it’s better than Tanith being killed off :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Kallista, I feel so bad for you!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That would be really sad if she was killed off... Derek you'd better not kill her until at least book 8!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

NO!!! Tanith won’t die until book 9! But if she does die before then, it will be because she didn’t survive the separation operation.

But honestly, she’s a fighter, so that will NEVER happen.
You hear/read that Derek?

Ever!!!

nights.raven said...

anyone on?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Yes! :)

‘Ollo!

nights.raven said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

'Ollo

Um, it's HELLO.

Oh! Hello? Like that?

nights.raven said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hehe... I love MegaMind... NOT AS MUCH AS SKULDUGGERY THOUGH!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I. Am. DANDY!!!

Ameriminion contest victory dance! And he said my name TWICE. He put Valkyrie V. AND he put Bella Votolato/Valkyrie Cain!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Hello nights.raven! I am spectacular! And for once it isn’t because of SP
-___-‘

I bought a cute little birdhouse today and stuck my dried roses from February in there.

Let me just say, my room smells very pretty :)

nights.raven said...

:)

@Bella
lol

~Acacia Volt~ said...

And Valkyrie! YES!! MEGAMIND IS EPIC!… not like Skulduggery though.. *blushes*

Crab nuggets? O.o

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Think of the most evil thing you can possibly think of, and multiply it... BY 6!!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I’M ON A HIGHWAY TO-loving you! XD


Oh. Derek’s. Faceless. Ones. I am a stereotype breaker. :)

I’m a girl mechanic in training aaand that’s not the best stereotype breaker that I possess!

I CAN SCREAM!! :D

…like… screamo scream singing, I mean.. :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I LOVE THE FACELESS ONES!!!!


My Favourite is Death Bringer, then Dark Days, then Mortal Coil, Sceptre (or Scepter) of the Ancients and the Faceless Ones tie for third, and fourth is Playing with Fire.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

…wow… I haven’t actually put mine in a specific order.

But action, writing quality and gore wise.. they get better as they progress :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Okay, even though I already said it I forgot a little something at the end:

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Do you listen to music whilst reading? I hate listening to music while I read books. The songs attach themselves. For instance, when Val is getting tortured in book 1, the song for me is Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. The version by Michael Henry and Justin Robinett, naturally. :)

nights.raven said...

val gets tortured in book 1?

The-BookNommer said...

I, The-BookNommer, hereby give my Golden God, Derek Landy, full permission to take this line and incorporate it into his wonderful, wonderful story.

(Drumroll please....) Here are my five entries for this extraordinary contest created by the All-Powerful and Wonderous Mr. Derek Landy in His Awesomeness:

1) Tanith was having a good day until the blind man asked her to speak the Russian alphabet backwards.

2) Tanith was scared: not in the look-behind-you-feels-like-someone-is-watching-you-but-no-one-is kind of way, but in the
OHMIGOD-OHMIGOD-I-AM-SO-SCARED-I-AM-GOING-TO-PEE-MY-PANTS-THEN-DIE kind of way.

3) If not for the black kitten, Tanith would've died eight times.

4) Had Tanith not stopped and saved the black kitten, she wouldn't have almost died six times.

5) It's always annoying when your enemies just won't stay dead.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Of course Val is tortured!!! Do you not remember Sepine's red right hand being pointed at her? Or, as I like to say, ME?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

@nights.raven Yeah, with Serpine’s red right hand :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey BookNommer! What state!

nights.raven said...

ah, gotcha

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Excellent, nights.raven


Ugh, I have like 8 sentnces when there can only be five...

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Does anybody want to go around stabbing people with spoons? :D

Not that I haven’t already tried it.. kehe. It didn’t turn out well… they didn’t even bleed D:

But alas! This time I have a plan! Lets go for the eyes! Lots of nerves, blood and jelly-like-stuff there!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

If your gonna go for the eyes, you may as well just call up Lord Vile and have him put his thumb through them for you.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Ahem*.. kind sensitive subject to talk about.. :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HEY DEREK!!! Amanda Moore/China Sorrows is my best friend, she's an AMERICAN, but I don't blame you for not adding her to the list because I don't think she ever mentioned it...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*psst! whisper whisper* Vile SO doesn't have anything to do with thumbs in eyeballs...


*smiles innocently*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

‘Night, Kal! :)

Haha! No, Val, not at all :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

GOODNIGHT KALLISTA PENDRAGON!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*hears police sirens in the distance* NO! THEY FOUND ME!!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

AHH!!! RUN!! *Jumps into the Sea Hag’s lake*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Jumps out coughing and spluttering* Yuk! It’s horrible in there! *Pouts* There’s no chocolate cake D;

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*throws a piece of cake at Acacia but it lands in the lake*

Gosh dang it. I HEAR THE COPS AGAIN!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Squeals and jumps in after the cake* COME TO ME, YOU SLICE OF DELICIOUSNESS!! :D

RUN, FORES- uh… VAL! RUN!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

(XD "RUN FORES- uh... VAL! RUN!)




I'M RUNNING I'M RUNNING! *trips* Wait, no, not anymore. I'M FALLING I'M FALLING!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Throws Pokeball* GO MAXIMUM RIDE! :D *Pokeball fails and falls.* CRAAAP!!! *Throws another* GO… uh… *Watches it fall and roll away too* Aww C’MON! *Runs after Val, picking her up* Leg it!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*gets feet underneath me once again*

PASTA!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Dang it, I've gotta get off, stupid school's in the morning. Bye Acacia Volt!!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Haha okay :P see you when I see you, Val! :)

Serena })i({ said...

COOOOOOOOOOOOL

Valkyire is looking very dangerously amazing on the new covers!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye-bye now... I'm gonna not-so-secretly think of more sentences...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That's it. I'm coming back.


I know this sounds REALLY self-centred and stuff, but (just sorta ignore my pic, it's not exactly matching this) I seriously DO look like Val on the new cover for Scepter of the Ancients.

nights.raven said...

i gtg
night all

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That's basically me in battle-pose. My hair isn't as dark, but it's still VERY dark (once again, the pic isn't entirely right) but it isn't BLACK.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye nights.raven!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Aaaaand I'm gone again.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Ugh.. STOP LEAAAVING!! Although, I can’t really talk… damn.

I think that with a big fan and a handheld oxy-flame, anybody could look like Val..

*sighs, complete content* Ahh… oxy-flame :)

THREE CHEERS FOR PYROS!!!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

SHANA NO SHAKUGUN= THE VALKYRIE OF ANIME!!!

Either that.. or Haruhi Suzimiya. :)

Amanda Moore/China Sorrows, now Zinnia Batty said...

:-)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hehe... I'm stalking this blog... I see you commented on MY blog.
Did you read the Halloween story?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

OH MY GOSH! Amanda? How'd you make it work? And we have school tomorrow! We need to go to bed!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'M going to sleep now. Amanda, I suggest you do to. But did you see my name in the post? Did you see it TWICE?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, DEREK.




That's right. I know your birthday. Or so I think.


G'night everyone!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Yes, the halloween story was really good. I may have found some… um… valduggery :D hidden between the words. But I’m obsessed so you know how it is… *SQUEEE*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Sigh* Goodbye, Wonderful wonderful blog. I shall fill the remainders of my day with SP memes.

I have to go to school now. I'll be on tonight, bye!

-HB/Joe- said...

Oh, Derek, this is why you're so awesome...


I love it how you host these competitions. Although, being in Aus, I have no way of winning them xD Still, I could ~pretend~ I was an Ameriminion...


*looks up price for Adelaide-Dublin flights* Damn, I'm two grand short...

Kribu said...

I don't often wish I was American (very glad to be European, thank you!), but this is one of those exceptions. :D

Anyway, there are so many awesome entries here already that I doubt I could come up with anything better even if I could try. Whichever line wins, I'm very much looking forward to the resulting story - and it'll be great to have some Tanith again!

lego said...

Oh, and I forgot to say how grateful I am for you catering to us Americans. :)

well, I am. Quite grateful. And this is the only time since I was 6 when I've enjoyed mentioning the fact that I'm American.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Derek, a thought popped into my head quite recently. Actually it was more like a question. Yes, it was a question. Anyway, I was wondering, when you finish writing a book- or when a new Skulduggery Pleasant book is published- do you take Laura out for dinner?

This may seem like a random question, but seriously, there wouldn’t be any books without her. If I may be so bold as to quote ‘because without you, Skulduggery wouldn’t have his Valkyrie.’ (Amazingly adorable dedication, by the way.) :)

If you don’t take her out for dinner, you should start. But who am I kidding!? You’re Derek Landy! You probably have something immensely great that you do to celebrate.

Honestly, why do I waste my time? ;D

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Another thing!!! I swear that you read fanfiction. I wrote a tiny little snippet about something utterly out there and not at all related, and I find it in DB!! Either you read fanfic, or I am particularly clairvoyant.

My new job is to be pretentious.

xx. :)

~Acacia Volt~ said...

And yet, another thing!!

You know how every young teenage girl dreams of being Valkyrie? Well, I have come with a solution and a proposal.

No, The solution is not me being Valkyrie (Get real, .__.), and no, sadly, not a marriage proposal… I’m joking. I think. About the being forlorn bit.

You see, I have come to terms with my overly dramatic and amazing brain, and we realise that our goals lie elsewhere. Oh dear.. I’m out of tea.

And besides getting more tea, we have realised that we wish to replace all of the old aged idiots that think they know everything about the book- when they obviously don’t- and take charge as casting director!

No, co-casting director. With you as chief casting director, no doubt.

I have already started making lists of the such qualities needed and basic appearance qualities required (Such as build, skin tone and such, not hair and eye colour that everybody thinks is essential…).

Its just a thought, but I thought it wise to have someone else who understands what is needed in the characters and is willing to do extensive research by destroying a book with highlighters and post-its. D; Goodbye, sweet, sweet book.


Once again, it is just a marvellous, wonderful, phenomenal, amazing thought. Much like the person who owns the mind that it came from.

xxx.

Ann Marie said...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Yay us! Yay yay yay yay yay! AND WE GET A PERCIVAL COVER EXTRA BONUS AWESOME FOR US. Not to dis whoever designed the other American covers, but... well, that would totally be dissing them, so nm.

Ahem. Nice to get some attention here.

Dear Mr. Landy,

You forgot Lily! Or you got her, and only put her last name. Lily! You were here a few days ago, where did you go?

And Everisse! She needs to get her butt back on here, lemme go poke her.

*pokes Ev*

And Leona! Ok, she doesn't really post anymore, but I'm going to make her come here anyway so there will be more entries from California. :-D

And now, my lines!
...

...

Maybe I should go write some, eh.

Ok, I really had nothing to say, but I wanted to whee at you anyway.

extra gleeful love,
me

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Hello everyone! Good morning!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Morning, Nicole! Kind of… for me it’s almost 12 am. So good morning in fifteen minutes!

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Wow. Here it's 8:45.
I love time differences ;D

Nice to meet you Acacia!
*gives a blueberry muffin*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

MUFFIN!!! *Devours in one bite* :P

*Pours orchid tea* Have a cup, love! *raises cup and tea falls straight through. Shrugs and hands it to you anyway*

Nicole Cerundolo said...

U-um,, thanks?

*takes cup*
*holds it akwardly*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Smiles and hands the teapot* You drink really fast! Have more! Have more! I apologise if it tastes vaguely like bitter almonds. :D

Nicole Cerundolo said...

*smiles uncertainly*
*takes out her own cup*
*fills it*
*takes a sip*

...It's nice! Thank you.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

:) Here have a take-away tea! *Hands little packet* Actually, that might be glass, chocolate cake, arsenic or tea… It’ll taste fine whatever it is.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

HAPPY SATURDAY ALL!!!.. of those who live in Australia or New Zealand...

Nicole Cerundolo said...

*puts packet in bag and grins*

Sounds good to me!

*hands over a batch of muffins*

... Not quite sure what kind these are... I mean, just watch "Muffins" on youtube and you'll probably find one of each. It's pretty random what comes out of the oven.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

:D YAY! Paper-clip muffin! *SQUEEEEE*

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Umm... I don't think those are paper clips...
Oh well. It doesn't matter.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

My imaginary muffin mixed with the fire muffin and spontaneously combust. It was awesome.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

*sprays fire with hydrogen muffin*
There.
This thing is handy, you know.
*hands over crumbled hydrogen muffin*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Anybodies on??

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Hi Flame!

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Hi Nicole brb

Nicole Cerundolo said...

*hands over a.... a muffin*

I think this might be blueberry, but it might be poisonous.

*shrugs*

It'll be tasty either way.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Hiya, Flame! *Glomps*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Stares at the muffin’s remains, and then starts chewing on them*

Nicole Cerundolo said...

You know, the hydrogen muffin will be... soggy by now.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Well

~Acacia Volt~ said...

*Beams up at Nicole* It tastes like cherry!… a very soggy cherry.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

*tastes*

No, more like an apple.

Oh, and Flame-are you going to eat that muffin or am I??

*eyes muffin*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*quickly stuffs it into mouth*

" 'hanks"

Nicole Cerundolo said...

So... poisonous or blueberry?

;D Yeah! Oh, check out my "Now and Again"
I have a short story somewhere there, "The Revenge." Read it. I <3 it. You know, I'm gonna write another story right now.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Nicole, your poetry is amazing!

And Flame, I’ll comment now. :)

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Acacia- click older posts and you'll find The Revenge :D

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I found it! It’s great :) A tad too short, but great nonetheless! You must write a sequel. Keep writing, you’re really good at it.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

Thanks ;D It was a SHORT story.... I'm writing another short story, not related at all. Having a lot of fun with this

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Good. That’s what writing is supposed to be. :)

Nicole Cerundolo said...

It IS fun. here's what I have so far:

/Winter never ends here,/ she thought as her boots crunched through the snow-crusted path. It was true, of course. Terrin had only seen 19 years pass, but she could not remember a year without the winter hovering like an ever-present cloud. The last summer had been three years before her birth; stories told of it were recited as if it had been a pleasant dream, and they had been woken up by the harsh frozen reality.

Terrin sighed, her breath fogging in the frigid air. Her gloved hands clutched the letter tighter. A rush of wind tugged at her clothes and whipped her black cape out behind her. Her shimmering raven hair, as dark as her clothing, was partially concealed by her snowy hat. Her lips were cracked, her silver eyes weary with fatigue and cold. “The faster you deliver the letter, the faster you can go home,” she reminded herself, her soft voice echoing. Beads of blood formed on her lips, and she brushed them away. She was a messenger; she could survive another minute in the cold.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Thanks guys I'm not that good though....


I writing a sequel to Jonah Sanfrics where a warlocks come to him and he the ring the warlocks wearing and he becomes immortal and can speak to the dead.


Any ideas for names??

Nicole Cerundolo said...

"John Sanfrics meets a warlock with a ring that lets him become immortal and talk to the dead"

Nicole Cerundolo said...

...Or "Ring of Death."
"The Ruby Ring"
"Warlocks and Magic"
"Forever Alive, Forever Dead"

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Brb dont go anywhere

Nicole Cerundolo said...

I like the first one the best, though.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

...Hello?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Kehe. "John Sanfrics meets a warlock with a ring that lets him become immortal and talk to the dead” was, in fact, my favourite too :)

And I’m loving your new short story too. I was smiling from the first sentence. :)

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I should probably practice my writing instead of just writing my book… but I can never get the inspiration when I want it. :P

Octa said...

Well I decided to come up with six sentences just because they can't be used anyway.

1.Spooky

The twisted husks of crooked trees loomed out of the raven black night, a ghostly galleon of a moon shining pallidly down onto a ghoulish woman, feasting upon the juicy hearts of dead children.

2. Crazy

The giant pink unicorn balloon was the only thing preventing the zombie toddlers from destroying the world,something to do with it being a suitable distraction, the retinal systems of the living undead and the fact that humanity had picked a truly bizarre saviour.

3.Scary

The ancient skull chattered menacingly in the dusky evening, a crimson glow pulsating in its hallowed eyesockets as its mechanical jaw snapped shut and it locked onto the sanguine scent of fresh blood.

4.Funny

"Oh no not again" he whimpered, holding his arms above his head as a swarm of old age pensioners in wheelchairs, yelling at the top of their croaky voices and brandishing walking sticks, zoomed towards the tall muscular man and gave chase.

5.Weird

"Leave me alone" the slumped figure groaned at the screaming bunch of kids clambering over him, as a particularly annoying little girl tugged at his ear which suddenly came off in her hand.

6. Atmospheric

Still emitting the sparkling blue rays,the ancient satellite was whisked deep into the past, a deathly star, plummeting back through history.

Nicole Cerundolo said...

I'm writing a book, too ;D It's called Dawn Suncatcher. But right now I'm just going to write a little more of my short story and then call it quits. I have to study for my high school exam :P

Nicole Cerundolo said...

OCTA *glomps*

Octa said...

NICOLE! *glomps back*

Nicole Cerundolo said...

OCTAAAA *gives a muffin*

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Crazy and Weird are my favourites :)

Octa said...

And Derek can't use any.

Because I'm English.

*sobs*
