First of all, my Ameriminions seem to be having a great time coming up with their opening lines, and I have to say the standard has been superb. There's still ages left to go, of course- the deadline is October 23rd- so keep submitting them in the comment section to the last post. It's all been very impressive so far- some real writers out there, and every few hours I have a new favourite... SO KEEP SUBMITTING!
Here are the things you need to do to be in with a chance of winning:
If you have a Facebook page, you could change your profile pic to the new Tom Percival US cover, then post a link on your Facebook wall to the eBook here http://bit.ly/qNJYCP.
If you're on Twitter, you could tweet (I'm sorry, I'll never be able to take this word seriously) a message out using the following hashtag- #FREESkulduggeryebookUS . It can be about anything connected to the free eBook offer but it must contain a link to the page http://bit.ly/qNJYCP and a request to re-tweet your tweet. Good God. Tweeting, retweeting, hashtags... Does ANYONE understand what the hell I'm talking about?
If you have a different online profile- like MSN, YouTube, Blog, Tumblr, etc- then you could post a status update which includes the cover and the link http://bit.ly/qNJYCP ...
Now, if you do ANY of those things, you MUST tell me in the Comments section to THIS post. Tell me EXACTLY what you've done and you'll be automatically entered into the competition. The closing date is October 31st, the competition is open to EVERYONE in EVERY country (yep, that includes you Ameriminions), and 10 winners will be selected at random by me.
Ready? Set? GO.

Well we killed each other at the exact same time
That night was freaky remember? Was 20? 30 times?
I bet Skulduggery could kill you. I bet he'll at least TRY before the series is over.
What is ramen?
Wait, WHAT did Dantea put in my food?!?
Ramen is cheep noodles, but apparently she had fancy ramen, but I don't know what that is, exactly...
Cyanide
How can cheep
Noodles be fancy??!?
Was I supposed to post some sort of link-back or something? I prefer to keep my facebook disclosed to all but friends... I guess the profile pic proof is enough? But how will he know which is me... Help?
Cyanide is so much more subtle than machine guns...
Less fun though.
No idea
Flame - LE GASP! WHY YOU NO KNOW WHAT RAMEN IS?
Ehem.
Ramen is a Japanese noodle dish. It's noodles in different kinds of broth (depending on what kind you get, it can range from sweet to spicy), and if you're at a restaurant, it usually has some sort of topping on it. It's kind of like the Vietnamese noodle dish pho, but it taste different and the ingredients are different. And ramen is Japanese.
The kind you buy at the store in packages that you just pour hot water into is cheap. If you go to a Japanese restaurant, it can be pretty fancy.
Hmm. I guess I'm the only one familiar with walmart brand ramen.
Yeah..
Author to be
Put a link just to your profile no one looks except Derek.. Promise
Hey, Thalia, is your picture a red wolf or a dhole (if I spelled that right), or something else?
Just curious. It's cute!
Author-To-Be - it's a dhole! I'm so glad you knew that, no one else did! :D I love dholes. So cute.
Lol dantea
Thaila are you from japan?
Author-To-Be, can I call you Author for short?
Hi Author-To-Be!!!¡¡¡!!!
Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
And thanks, Flame Phoenix. I'm just pretty paranoid about that sort of stuff.
Here goes: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002701918070
Hey Derek!!!
PLEASE READ THIS!
I LOVE SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT SOOOO MUCH!!
So I’ve done a lot to help spread the skulduggery love.
First, I posted the link and cover on my blog: http://skulduggeryaddict.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/friend-get-friend/ (I put the link here because I thought you might want to see my awesome Skulduggery Pleasant blog.. :) But you don’t have to!)
Then, I posted the link (and the cover) on Facebook, MSN, Skype, Youtube, iChat, and yeah. Thats pretty much it.
And, way before this contest had even started, I told four of my friends at my old school to read Skulduggery Pleasant, and guess what? THEY LOVED IT. They said it was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. No surprise there! Haha :)
So I really hope I win the books- I’m speechless just to think of having ONE book signed by you. Seriously, if I won this contest, I wouldn’t ask for ANYTHING more.
Hehe :) BYEEE AWESOME GOLDEN GOD! ♥♥♥♥
Oooo! Smores! I must go, before they are all eaten!
Val, go home and eat your dinner.
Bye for now.
Flame - nope. Born in America. My heritage is almost half Russian (with little bits of German and Mongolian thrown in), a quarter Italian, an eight Czech and an eight Slovakian (basically just Czechoslovakian, but as they're two different countries now, I list them separate). Not Japanese in the slightest. I just like Asian food.
Author's fine I guess. I only know of dhole's because of Jungle Book. I got tired of trying to imagine them and looked them up. Nice to meet you all.
Bye Dantea!
Hi A-T-B nice to meet you. You are very welcome...
And call me flame or Phoenix for short whichever..
*hands cookie*
Bye Dantea!!!¡¡¡!!!
OOOoooOOOoooOOOooo... I love cookies! *takes cookie and hugs it*
ATB is a cool nickname too. Either's fine by me.
Thaila are you seriously all that???!??
What is it Kal?
Did you find the secret to the universe?
WHAT IS IT?
What did you find Kal?¿?
Flame - yes. My family came from all over and dates really far back. I'm a very diverse girl. It's hell to explain it.
kal? Whaddya find?
I didn't know chocolate fortune cookies existed... I've been missing out...
AWESOME KAL!
Why don't my local Chinese stores have chocolate fortune cookies?
*grumbles*
A fortune cookie what does it say?
I'm in Ireland they dont do them here :(
*tries to stop Kal smoldering by giving her a big bear hug*
*glares at fortune cookie*
*sticks a lighting rod into the ground to deflect the lightning bolts*
Omg!!! What does that mean good or bad???
It could mean you might win the competition and it would be very shocking cos you'd be shocked ;)
Did that make sense or am I going crazy???
Now I want chocolate too... *nibbles cookie flame gave me*
Are they edible?
What? Who me? The one you gave me? Of course! I'm just savoring it crumb by precious crumb!
Pyro why were you thanking me earlier??
Wb val..
Wait, where's Dantea? *jumps behind Kal*
But Kal, knowing you DOES enlighten others! It's true! :D
No because you enlighten us everytime your here, everytime you talk to someone you enlighten them....
That is probs the most mumbo jumbo Eva?
My dad got a fortune once that read: Never kiss an elephant on the lips.
Lol A-T-B
And Thalia I do agree your the best kal if Win this comp Ill b happy ;)
*u
U should see what that says.....
@Flame
I was thanking you for complementing my poetry.
I once got a fortune that said, "You will walk on the soil of many countries"
Ireland's got soil! Whoo Whoo!
Oh well your welcome
@kal poor geppy is sick!! Did u see the new challenge?
Lol val
Hey guess what?
What?
A psychic told my grandma that I was going to be born before my MUM even knew. A baby girl with auburn hair.
My hair isn't auburn NOW, obviously. Now it's really dark. But when I was born it was auburn.
Sorry, I'm slow. Commenting back and forth on dA with Ann about Fullmetal Alchemist.
Whats da?
Cool val
dA is deviantART. It's a website where you can post your artwork and write journals and stuff. It's cool.
My sister walked in just now and asked what I was talking about, so I said "Fortune cookies" and guess what her response was?
Ah yeah I saw that b4
What's your fortune?
Tell Ann I sed hi thalia
Her response was, "We should write fortunes and give them to our enemies. We could right really mean stuff like, 'Your grandparents just died' or something."
She stopped talking because I burst out laughing halfway through.
Note: This is my YOUNGER sister. And she usually isn't like that, that's why it was so funny XD
Flame - I did~
Val - that's funny!
Nice to meet you all, and thanks for the help Flame. I have to go. Been on the internet waaaaayyy too long, and my right foot is asleep. Proof I've been on too long.
I have homework (XP) too do and my own stories to write.
Author-To-Be out.
Val ur SIS is crazier than u!!!
Bye author-to-be even though we didn't really meet!
Bye ATB nice to meet u!!
Naw, I've done worse. She's funny, though, that's for sure.
I have to younger sisters named Carissa and Jaida - Carissa's the fortune one - and an older brother named Peren.
Llamas with hats XD
Valkyrie V.

Yessss.... I dedicate this page to:
Derek for his upcoming birthday
Carissa for being funny
Flame and the other people for helping with the zombies
Me
And the fact that I could possibly win one of the competitions? *looks hopefully at Derek*
Bye Thalia!
Congrats on 1st goottabgooo anyone still on bye
Is Flame still here? *looks around*
Aw, bye Flame.
Time to go into the world of loneliness once again...
HI THERE! I don't think we've met yet. I'm Fly :)
Hey Fly!
Smores are evil creatures when they are burned.
*hides under table and unloads machine gun on Dantea*
Nice to meet you Fly, if you're still here.
Did you go home and eat your dinner like I told you to?
No. You don't know where I live.
Hi dantea!
Hi Valkyrie!
Hi fly!
*huggies*
Of course I don't. *innocent* I love the couch in your living room, by the way.
*Huggs Lego to death.*
Heyy.
Hey Lego... *doesn't take eyes off of Dantea*
Dantea, are you working with Caelan? *narrows eyes*
AAAAAAUGH
There's a frog stuck to my window and it won't stop ribbiting!
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, over and over, for the past hour. TTATT
I just felt like sharing this completely useless information...
*dies happily*
That's... splendid, Summer, just splendid.
My best friends claim to work with Caelan... He has a good pay, apparently.
Huh. Cealen WISHES I would work with him. No, I just looked for the only house in Haggred up the street from a pier with a reflection of your description living in it.
*curses under breath* Stupid stalkers forming more than one association against me...
And it's spelled Haggard
Well, Derek did publish your location in several country's, in several languages. SOMEONE was bound to be a stalker.
I feel bad for the reflection. I wish people weren't so mean to her. I wish she had her own name. I wish *smacked with frying pan*
Yeah, I'll shut up about it, but seriously... Valkyrie's bad manners towards that reflection are gonna come back and bite her in the butt someday. Just you wait. Yeeeah...
That's so true...
Derek, why are you stalking me?!?
The reflection doesn't have feelings. and It's not a SHE, it's an IT.
And my attitude wouldn't be so dismissive if it would do what I say.
Eh. I kinda pity it. But still, its really creepy.
She walks. She talks. I consider her to have feelings.
It's a she! She's modeled after you and you're a she, so she's a she, too! ; n ;
That's no excuse to be such a meanie face! Don't you understand karma, woman? Karma I say!!!
(my gratuitous use of exclamation points makes my argument more convincing *sarcasm*)
I'm still not sure if she really has feelings and shes just hiding them, if shes growing them, or what...but im looking forward to finding out.
Hey Derek :)
I posted the link on my facebook and changed my profile picture:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002951845982&sk=wall
And I also tweeted this:
RT GUYS! Free Skulduggery eBook for everyone in the US! http://bit.ly/qNJYCP
Here:

(I also can't take the word tweet seriously, and I've had Twitter for a while now)
Well, I'll be a jerk if I wanna be a jerk, and usually I do. And if I may quote book 1:
Stephanie stared. "She's me."
"Not she, IT. And it isn't you, it's a surface copy..."
I think I've proved my point.
I have to go to a concert now. Bye!!!
That's it! I'm making an activist group!
SETRA
Society for the Equal Treatment of Reflective Associates
First piece of business: make it illegal for people to use reflections as murder decoys. >:\
Just realised I missed the hashtag in my tweet, so I did it again!
