Friend Get Friend


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!

Of course, I did promise a SECOND competition, now didn't I? Basically, your Golden God needs your Miniony help to spread the Skulduggery word around the world during this, the most fun of all months. This is what we're calling our "Friend Get Friend" competition, and it's all to do with social media. I honestly understand only about half of what I'm about to say, so please bear with me. The winners will receive a set of the Skulduggery books- UK editions- all signed by moi, and you'll each get a signed poster with your favourite quote scrawled across it. I'm not sure yet WHICH of the amazing Skulduggery poster you'll be getting, because it all depends on which ones I can find in my house (yes, that does mean these posters are from my own personal collection.)


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.

It's like the good ol' days 'fore xat arrived!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hellboy - Deleting comments doesn't really do ANYTHING. The names'll still be here.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Hellboy can you look at my blog?

Cashew said...

I just updated my profile picture and updated my status on Facebook.

Link:
http://www.facebook.com/php?id=100001267051691

Took me forever to figure out.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Pyro I agree too many people are losing faith in blog land....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't even GO to xat. Too much swearing, and it's too confusing. Besides, Derek's website HERE is wonderful *meows like a cat*

Artemis Shakora said...

Alright Derek, I have done what I can. I've changed my Facebook profile pic to the cover, written a paragraph, and posted the link.
AND.... I'm going to make FLYERS! And post them all over school!! (where about 3000 people go.)
Woot woot!
and. yeah.. that is all. FOR NOW.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

People have comment on my facebook page * is that a film?*

Take the easy way out....

lego said...

swearing on xat?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Hi Artemis

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I love that my cell phone has a calulator on it *smiles*

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I was on xat for about two minutes and all I really got out of it was swearing.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Were already 53 comments into the new page

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

How are you so well wise kal?

Brb

lego said...

huh...that's weird. we can swear on there but not mention kissing? *frowns*

Hellboy (A.K.A Israel Elysium) 2nd Account said...

More comments, moar comments...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*arches an eyebrow at Lego* Why would you want to mention kissing in the first place?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

I'm after getting a load of coments on my blog asking to be in my story....

lego said...

@valkyrie- because me and venice like the yaoi. =p

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

yoai? Is that, um... pronounced yow-ee?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Yep:)

Oh and kal you no gepards thing I commented and my comment won't show up anymore although everyone elses will?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

What is yaoi?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

If it's what I think it is, you don't wanna know.

lego said...

@flame/valkyrie- boy kissing. :D

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Oh rite missed that comment :o

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh geez, *groans* it is what I thought it was.

lego said...

you don't like kissing, valk? *sympathy*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

What u mean kal?

And I knew I missed legos comment were not allowed mention kissing

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I hate kissing. That's the only downside in the last three books. But no that Caelan's dead and Fletcher doesn't want anything to do with Valkyrie there won't be anymore, right? *looks at Derek hopefully*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*Plays violin even though can't*

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Why you hate kissing?

This is kinda inapporite for 2 twelve year olds to be discussing isn't it?

lego said...

I love the smut. Apparently it's corrupting small children though, so oh well.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

(Hey Flame I can play cello :) I even got first chair which means I'm the best of the group.)

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Cool I'm learning piano and guitar:)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I hate it because... because... because I do. And that's a good enough answer.



And this is indeed very odd for two 12 year olds to be discussing.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Am I the only boy on at this time???

And kal have you read the book?

lego said...

oh, I haven't kissed anyone. Just like looking at it. :)

@valkyrie- that's quite the spoiler. could you remove it?

lego said...

nah, it's not weird. And normal is a weird term anyways.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Ive seen it a few times... That's all my class thinks about... I like writing more than socialising :)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Actually Kal, *looks down and pretends to be sorry but is really smirking* I broke Fletcher's heart. I won't say anymore about it than that.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

YeaH

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

So u admit it.... You... Heartbreaker

lego said...

Val...please quit with the spoilers. really not fair to Kallista.

@Flame- ditto. socializing is boring. this, however, is not.:D http://legolas3.deviantart.com/#/d26q8l6

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

I can't go on links on my iPod

Has she not read the book?!?

She has a surprise coming for her....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And I take pride in it, Flame.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Whatever

Lego can you lookat my blog?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I said "I won't say anymore about it than that", didn't I?

lego said...

aw..okay.

Her book hasn't arrived yet. So spoilers are not really a great thing for her.

@Dragona- sorry for the smut posting. It was necessary. :)

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Is dragona on?

Amm what you think of gepards writing challenge? My comment won't show up!

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Any other imaginary person on other than moi?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And everyone needs something to look forward to/dread before they get it, he bad thing is when you go on wikipedia to look up some info and read about what happens in Dark Days and Mortal Coil before you read the books. That was a mistake I made so I wasn't even surprised at Darquesse :(

lego said...

no, but I'm assuming that he's going to see it and not be pleased. oh wells.


hmm...that's probably a blogger problem, not one that geppy can fix.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Yeah :(

WhAt happened everyone? Blog land is back to ghost land

Unknown said...

Dear Derek,
I've posted the link as my "About Me" on my YouTube channel. The link to that is right here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/FallingUpstairsInc

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Did u post ur part? Cos it isn't showing either in fact only kals, octas, skyrils, and simrans are showing? :(

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm still here, Flame! No need to mourn for me yet.

lego said...

brb

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

No one murdered you? Oh Thank god


*Calls off big funeral*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No one CAN muder me *turns around and stabs hired assasin with shadows* See?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*Wipes up blood*

I have done it, and I can do it again.....

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Do you have an iPod?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*shrugs* someone killed her, *calls funeral back on*

*plays sad music*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yeah, a purple nano. Not the cool one, the lame one with no camera. I'm listening to it now. What song... hmm... let's see... The Beatles All You Need is Love.

Santaman57 said...

I love the books, by far the best we have in america!!!!!!!!!!! i own them all, and will continue to buy them until the end!!! I have done what you said on My facebook account and liked the books, it would be a great honor to recieve the poster and books from an author as great as you

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

At least SOMEONE would mourn rather than celebrate...

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

I've a touch I'm just on here dont listen to music that much though...

*Takes pics of new cover ands sets as screensavers*

Pascal Selzer said...

So now I´m at home…
Yesterday, I´ve got a SMS ‘ NEW COMPETITION!! YOU CAN WIN A POSTER AND ALL BOOKS WITH SIGN!!’ (only in German ;D) and I wanted to drive home directly D:
I drove more than 800 km the last two days to get the fifth book in Germany :D I got it on an island in the middle of nowhere where I incidentally(dictionary XD) picked up my Mom.
I´ve already read the fifth and sixth in English, but I must have them ALL in both languages and only the sixth in English is my own!!! But this you will sign on Saturday!! The Frankfurt Book Fair will be incredible!! I´m so excited!! Sorry for all the exclamation marks but that’s me!! :D
So… that was the little… Fanboy :P


Now the competition:
I´ve taken the picture as profile pic in Facebook and post the link. I post it in ICQ, MSN, Skype and Wer-kennt-wen to all my friends and I´ll do it again… and again… and again until they all buy it or kill me for that XD


I hope after this competition there will be some more Skulduggery fans and now, when I read what I´ve written in the last minutes I´m so sorry for my really bad English. That´s not my blame. If you are bored one time you can visit my English-teacher and tell him that he has FAILED! >:D
So… see you on Saturday :P

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*Throws party instead*
you're free stuffed animals go under the bed!!!

I changed my profile picture and linked to the ebook.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Derek, I am here going to write a letter as to why I think I should win (for both contests). This may have absolutely no affect on my chances, but whatever. I'm doing it anyways.


I love your books. I really do. I'm sure you've noticed. And, added to that fact, I also collect them. I collect the different covers, I collect hardcover and paperback, even the exact same book simply because I can. Reading them has changed me as a person. I have a different attitude, different comebacks, different thoughts, an entire different PERSONALITY. This is all because of YOU, Master Derek. And I am thanking you for this, I truly am.

I would like to win the first contest because I'd like to be known. I want to be an author. I love to write, I'm actually good at it (or at least good enough for an honours class), and I think being an author would be a great deal of fun. And by having a sentence, or line, as you put it, published by an amazing author who I love? It would be unimaginably exciting for me. I wouldn't be able to contain it. The Great Derek Landy, publishing my line. Like I said, it would be amazing. It'd also help me, in a way, be more open to reading my writing aloud, and allowing others to see it. I think it's fear of criticism, to be honest. And fear of people liking it. A hard fear to explain, but a fear nonetheless.

I'd like to win THIS contest because I am a collector. I collect your books, and anything that relates to them. I have 2 American Scepter of the Ancients and one of the collector's hardcover of the UK Skulduggery Pleasant; I have one American and one UK Playing with Fire, both paperback; 2 hardcover American copies of the Faceless Ones and one UK paperback; limted edition hardcover Dark Days, regular hardcover Dark Days, paperback Dark Days (all the original cover design); one paperback Mortal Coil; and one hardcover Death Bringer. I also have the Playing with Fire short story printed out, as well as the beginning chapters of Death Bringer, which have been taped to my wall. I have T-shirts with writing all over them for Skulduggery, a poster I made for my favourite quotes, Pictures of the characters printed on photopaper in frames on my walls, hats like Skulduggery's, a clock made especially for me with the character pictures instead of numbers... I could go on longer, I swear. Although, as great as my collection may be, I fear it is lacking something - the books signed by YOU. If I had those I would have an ultimate collection. But for now it's incomplete. And being an American... That makes it a great deal harder for getting signed copies. And I wish it wasn't so hard, but it is, so there isn't much I can do about that.

I just want you to keep these things in mind. You don't have to, I suppose, but I'd really appreciate it.
So sincerely your most obsessed fan,

Bella Votolato

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Geez, that's longer than it seemed :D Oh well.

Red said...

Most Golden of Gods, I have posted on my Tumblr about this most wonderful of promotions.

http://runredrabbitrun.tumblr.com/post/11381747701/oh-hey-you-guys-anyone-here-know-about

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I feel so aloooooooone...

And I can't wait for Derek's birthday party, for not only is it his birthday and Skulduggery's Death Day, I also get to hopefully see one of my best friends (who probably enjoyed making Caelan jokes most) because she's been invited :D

That's right. I'm inviting people to your birthday party.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey I got my Grandma to download it! You can even ask her! I'm not quite sure HOW to ask her, but... She did! I told her to the day you posted the previous post! AND SHE DID!


And I lent my mum's friend Elessa borrow one of my copies of Scepter of the Ancients a while ago, and I'm getting it back in a few days, but she loved it so much she wants to buy Playing with Fire! And she's an ADULT! She said she LOVED it!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh and I'm not quite sure how you can contact me - maybe put a comment on my blog or something - but if you ever need help with designing merchandise... I'm a good option! I'm gonna post pictures of all my T-shirts on my blog somewhat soon...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Aw, thanks Kal! I'm trying to sew the words "Skulduggery Pleasant" into a tank top. I need more black thread though.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I think I might do black and orange together... Or I just thought of something even better! Black on an orange shirt! *mgically float off bed to search for orange shirt*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh great I just lost a needle ON MY BED...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Nevermind! I found it AND some black thread!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Night Kal! I should probably go to bed too but I won't...

*hugs*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I have made an "S"!

nights.raven said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Aw, I have to get ready for bed. By any creepy stalkerss who are watching my posts with wvery passing second!

Ahhh! You really are out there! Raven's a stalker!


But seriously I'm leaving.

Author-To-Be said...

I did everything needed for the Facebook application. Then I signed up for your blog and wrote something really long. And then the internet failed when I went to post it. I nearly died.

With that aside, thank you so much for the contest. Really. I don't care how slim a chance I have, I had to enter it.

How did I ever pass up this amazing book the first time? How? Because I'm in America. I looked at the cover, I read the back, I thought, "Foo" because the cover portrayed it as rather childish in my eyes. I'm eighteen. I am a book critic. Then I found it online and saw how popular it was and thought "I'll give it a shot". I drew back my bow, aimed, and hit the bullseye dead on. Perfect shot, perfect aim. I was hooked. I needed book two. Then three. Then four... Then four... Then four...

Why do we not have book four yet? Or five? Or six? Why? My sister ordered book four for me for Christmas, and... it was hard to read because of the page formatting. The margins were too big. Sorry! But they were and they were distracting. The emptiness did not fit well with the gripping action and witty dialogue. I nearly felt the need to illuminate the edges. Didn't, but I wanted to.

However, I digress to an extent. I still need to rave about the sheer genius of the plot, the detail of the character, the gripping detail that makes me want the next page, the next chapter, the next book! Most importantly, and keep in mind that I am still stuck hanging from book four, the fact that it is a book about a teenage girl embarking on an imaginative journey and you, Mr. Landy, did not push the parents out of the picture. Bravo. I applaud you. Give you a standing ovation. Not many writers seem to remember the parents and when they do it's like, "Oh, um, they died" or "They gave her permission" or something sappy and overused like that. Your books are truly five-star worthy.


I apologize for my long oration, but it is something that needed to be said, that I have wanted to say for a very long time. I wanted to write a letter as I prefer that mode of discourse to the more modern albeit faster options, but I did not know where to send it. So my letter idea failed.

So here I am on your blog, posting about how much you have inspired me with your stories.

PS. Sprinheeled is my favorite by far. He is so beautifully unique, as is everyone else, but I like him the most.

Author-To-Be said...

I failed to be truly exact, didn't I. Exactly what I did:

First I went and saved the new American cover for the eBook onto my laptop with the flashing Skulduggery background (love it!). Next I added it to my Facebook profile under the album "Character Favorites" and then made it my profile picture. I posted the link with much much much enthusiasm and came back here. When I got back here, it took me awhile to figure out how to sign up, then how to post. The internet failed to post my first post so I wrote out a second post and made sure to save it on a sticky note in case I ran into the same problem, which I did multiple times. Finally, I managed to post my long laud about the book, had signed out, and was ready turn off everything when I realized that you had said to narrate EXACTLY what I had done. Anxious that I had not been exact enough, I wrote out this post and was sure to be over-exact.

Better safe than sorry. I hope I did not need to link to my Facebook as proof, but I liked Skulduggery so I post on their occasionally. I'm Carrie E. Francis, by the way. So yeah, Author-To-Be. Want to be a writer like you!

... and I'm starting to rant again. I should sign out before I keep going on and on...

Hi Derek! I've set my fb profile pic to one of the books... *sighs*

Apart from that, I have a twitter, but my internet is being weird. So only facebook. Sorry about that.

I don't really have my hopes high that I'll win this competition, but hey, what's the point if you don't try? Thanks for taking time to read this. And please come to Singapore.

Hey, I have to go. Stupid piano lesson. One more thing, though.




DEREK! Can you please include my character in your next book? PWEASE? I'm extremely jealous now. Ghost actually suggested that Fletcher fall in love with me.

I so killed him.

Anyway, I'll edit the profile on bio-rama, because that is inaccurate.

PWEASEEEEEE. and pwease come to Singapore. Thanks very much. Also, can we have the last trilogy dedicated to all of us here? Thanks ^^

HEY!!!
@arcanie- YAY ANIME! and purple menace lol. he needs to keep that up. I sometimes think Skulduggery Pleasant is Harry Potter + Castle (TV) + Black Cat + Derek.
Black Cat's an anime about a guy who used to be an assassin, and is really handy with a gun, a girl who can change her arms into weapons, and a guy who is a bomb inventor and can see 5 seconds into the future.
^ lotta talking.
Castle's a murder mystery show with a detective and a murder writer. V. good!!!

1st YAY

I, Flame Phoenix high warrior of blogland dedicate the first of the page to:

obscure for becoming a member

Derek for being awesome

skulduggery for being the best

and me for dedicating all these for about the millionth time :)

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

lol pyro alwys so infortunate

Obscure Falcon said...

hi flame pheonix
yeah it would be cool to be in a story thanks

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

hi falcon do you have an oc- like powers, etc.

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant said...

DEREK! MASTER LANDY! OH GLORIOUS GOLDEN GOD!

I would like to cry out on behalf of Kallista (or Trinity Kal as she now calls herself)

I know you said you would choose 10 winners at random but I really feel that Kal should be one of them.

Only she's been through so much in her life and suffered through such a lot which I shan't disclose unless I have her permission and I think she really deserves to win. It's her birthday on November 14th and this would be the most amazing birthday present ever. She'd be so thrilled and delighted.

Because although obviously you are the Golden God and created this blog and bought us all together I honestly think that Kallista is the heart and soul of our community. Because although she didn't bring us together she keeps us together. She is such a wonderful kind and caring person who doesn't over look anyone and really welcomes everyone here and makes their day.

So please, please, please could you make Kal one of the winners? Because she's done so much for so many of us and she is so deserving of this fanatabulous prize.

Many many thanks

Your loyal minion

Pyro-Dawn Tyromant

Hello Derek, you mention above that you don't understand twitter, I know exactly where you are coming from & now this is all new to me too. May be it's an age thing! Well I'm doing this for my son as I know he would love to win the signed books and poster, we were going to travel to London in September for your book signing but unfortunately I was unwell and couldn't get him there so to say he was disappointed would be an understatement even though he told me he understood. He absolutely loves your books, it's down to you, your writing and Skulduggery that he has starting taking an interest in reading again. He has been taking and reading all his Skulduggery books into school and has introduced them not only his friends (who have started to read them) but also to his teacher (who is so impressed with the impact that they have made with the boys interest in reading that she is going to have it now as a suggestion for her other pupils. Anyway I had better stop as I could go on all day as I am so thrilled. I have 'tweeted' & 'facebooked' the link as you have asked and therefore would be very grateful if you could enter me into the competition on behalf of my son (Ben). Kind regards and thank you.

azzy98 said...

aww thats nice of you to do that for your son sharon-marie i applaud you "claps energetically then realises no-one is watching and stops"

Meticulous Nightmare said...

Hey Derek, thanks for the awesome opportunity!
And though most of us won't win it will still be awesome to get some new Skulduggery fans!


I Promoted on my Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Fanfiction, and a few other forum sites that I'm on, and in the morning (its 2:30 am here is Australia right now) I'll get some of my friends to promote as well!!!!

Meticulous Nightmare said...

Okay, I did just post as Sparky, because that was my old name, but I've changed it now, so the previous comment, is by the same person writing this *waves* Hello! Thats me :)
Thought I'd clarify that.

Vita Song said...

Meticulous Nightmare said...

Hmm So I wonder If Derek actualy reads this far?

I've been reading the blog for a long time now, but only just started commenting So I wouldn't know.

I Must say I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, because it is a lot, but I do hope that he does.

(By the way, if you are reading, Hello! My little monolouge is slightly embarassing, but you are the golden god, so I really dont mind)

Just in case I will update as I add the link and picture to more sites.

I have major ocd when it comes to collecting things, ESPECIALY books and or posters, so either of those would probably make me squee with pure happiness!!!

Especially because Ive been reading the books since it was the only the first one out, and it's my favourite series.

Derek you are my absolute favourite author! You are a LITERARY GENIUS!!!!!!! (Excuse any horrid spelling, 3 am now XD )

Well that was long....

Meticulous Nightmare said...

Im really bored, and I really should be studying.
My final high school exams start Monday, wish me luck!!!!

I was thinking to myself, "Im going to study now..." And then my thoughts wondered off too...

"Hmm, maybe I'll check Derek's blog before I go study."

And here I am, posting links and pictures everywhere I can because Skulduggery Pleasant deserves to be read by more people!!

Vita Song said...

YEH WELL SOME TIMES he reads it's. I think he has spie's watching the blog *to spys* Hi spys!!!! *waves*

azzy98 said...

hey meticulous i only started commenting yesterday after reading for a long time too!

Vita Song said...

well I started commenting yesterday... *cough*5 months ago*cough*

Meticulous Nightmare said...

Hooray, so I;m not the only new one!

Glad to see Im not the only one online too. I need someone to keep me awake to study for my exams haha (Is 3 am here and im a little tired)

azzy98 said...
