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.

whoa right on the other side. how come u guys dont just fall off the earth... lol joking my cousin asked me that once made me laugh
Bahaha It would be funny if it worked that way, everyone would have to tie themselves to the ground.
Although to be honest, if you look at it from our point of veiw, your side of the world could be the bottom too. In a way... maybe.... probably not
But still... My point still stands.. somehow.
XD

yeah i get that, everything the whole world believes is the complete opposite and then everyone goes crazy, and -uh-ummm... THE WHOLE WORLD IMPLODES!
i live in london XD
Im so jelous of you two, first chance I get I'm moving over there.
Dont get me wrong, Aus is great, but the winters are boring and the summers are scorching. Definitely not my kind of place >.<

Haha you should come, although come at the end of summer, thats the best time. Spring and the start of summer are unbearable here.

Cool name btw, your given name I mean.
who me???
ahhh you like doctor who?
where is everyone??
Yes you lol.
I LOVE Doctor Who. Hahaha Skulduggery Pleasant and Doctor Who, my two favourite things. <3
same doctor who is my favourite programme (except when its not on)... the series finale was awesommmeeee. oh thnks btw
Helllo!
I agree, season 6-7 was amazing. so many good episodes, it helped not be so upset about waiting for the next Skulduggery book.
Who's your Doctor? Eccleston, Tennant or Smith??
Smith! Sorry continue with ur conversation
hii derek! i would have done this before but my computer always freezes ¬_¬
ok so i have changed my pic on here and ive posted the link and cover on my blog. here is the link if you want to check it out!
http://ayeshablog-ayesha.blogspot.com/2011/10/freind-get-freind.html
and ive changed my pic on youtube also and im going to post the link on my youtube account as well! i will tell you when i have done that. but i have the most rubbiest computer ever it freezes when i open more than one tab ¬_¬
hey crystal definetley tennant for me... Smith was a good follow-up but tennant casts a long shadow
Ya is suppose. But i think smith has made a difference to Doctor Who I think its funnier or something
hello everyone!!!
hi ayesha
Hey Ayesha
Tennant is my favourite, just because I think he owned the role, he suited it perfectly, and he played it well.
Matt Smith is pretty close though, he's different, more childish. Which is good, and bad. The newest season 6-7 is my favourite season, despite Tennant being my favourite Doctor.
i gtg now byee everyone!!
Me to, its 5 am so i met get a few hours sleep.
bye guys
i posted it on my facebook and my profile picture :D am i entered now? hope so! >.<

kl i've been reading the blog for ages anyway so i thought why not?!
I know i was the same :)
First I posted it on my Facebook page and then I wrote it on the walls of every book fan I'm friends with on Facebook (a lot of people). Then I tweeted on twitter. After that I went on my Pottermore account (I was one that got early entry) and posted it in the Gryffindor Common Room. After that I broadcasted it using BBM and put it as my personal message. Then I put it as my personal message on MSN, I put it as my Facebook status and then I even went on my old Toontown account from when I was a kid and shouted it out. If I think of anything else I can do I can do I'll tell you!
woah! haha well done! :L
whoo pottermore! i got early access too!
aw :( i want to get in, but i didnt :( my sister did, and she came round my house, stole my laptop and decided to make me jealous by showing me everything you do on it :( lol
bye!
I shared it to Facebook!! I also had it stuck it my head all day so if you go to my school I think on most tables their is skulduggery pleasant doodled in a little heart ... I also moved skulduggery to the front of the library ... Well the book that were there and slapped everyone who didnt know who derek Landy was ....
I then got stalked by a year seven who is also obsessed with sulduggery.... I hope you happy because I'm creeped out by the little dude!
I was early entrant on pottermor too :) I never thought of that will post it tomoro..........
Hi and bye
I'm here! Yay! But not for long...
I was just sitting in a dentist office. Doing nothing. For 3 hours.
And Amanda told me she went to a park/forest and there was a guy hiding in a bush who was taking pictures of a guy walking past... She said he was Kenny, because that's all dhe could think of. We are an odd pair of friends, I can tell you that much :D
anyone on
YES. Happy late birthday.
just posted it on twitter
hey
I have made a video on youtube called Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulled. It is the song that your website provides. I put the link you wanted, great one, in the description. Also I changed my picture to skulduggery and I recommended the series in the description and to many of my narrow minded friends. I also made my channel say under Favorite book that Skulduggery is my favorite (used to be the Pendragon series.
I have to go soon... Not now, but soon...
Actually, yes now. Sorry I wasn't here very long.
And I have to say it every day so Happy Early Birthday Derek!
Hi everyone! I'm an Ameriminion from Oregon and I've been a fan of this series for years! But this is my first time commenting ^^ I just heard about this competition and started promoting right way!
Let's see . . .
On my Facebook I changed my profile picture to the new US cover and posted the URL with a description. I plan on updating throughout October ^.^
I posted on both my MSN and Yahoo profiles.
On Youtube I changed my channel picture to the new cover and broadcasted the URL.
I posted the URL and description on my FanFiction profile (which is viewed by hundreds of people a week from around the world!)
And I posted the URL/description on my DevientArt profile. . .
It would be SO exciting to win the prizes! Since I live in the US, it was a lot more difficult to get my hands on all of the books, but I was determined; these books are the best! I firmly believe this series can become really popular here in the US. If I was one of the lucky ten to win the complete box set, I'd donate all my older copies to my city library; I think that would be another great way to promote the series!
Derek, I really look forward to whatever you have in store for us :) Here's one of many devoted fans, until the end.
WOW, I had to scroll a lot to get here.
Anyway, sign me up for the competition for I have changed my profile picture and posted a link to the e-book on my:
facebook (Julia Myagmarsuren),
youtube (ExpertInTraining),
hotmail (julia.mgl_girl@hotmail.com),
yahoo (mgl_juliashka@yahoo.com),
and here!!!
click this peoples! http://bit.ly/qNJYCP
Althought the yahoo one doesn't seem to be working...
I absolutly love your books, so i posted this on my facebook and on my twitter for all my firnds to enjoy.
Oh, happiness! The tantilizing possiblity! It sends my poor heart afluttering! I'm one of your faithful Ameriminions and in love with your books! It just so upsetting that they don't have anymore here in America. I ordered some from England for my sister for Christmas. They had all your wonderful covers from over there. The covers here are ridiculous! They look childish! They seem so simple and cheesy with their computer generated images. Looking between the two designs, it's disturbingly different!
At any rate, I posted the link on my facebook account. It's my current status and profile picture. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002658993967 I'm letting everyone I know know about this great promotion. People I know are excited about this.
I know I have only a slim chance of being one of the winners, but I still cling to the hope.
Mr. Landry, I hold you and your books in the highest esteem. I want ot be an author also. You're stories make me happy. Except when I don't have the next one. Then, I'm more annoyed. But that just proves how much I love your books.
OMG I CANT BELIEVE THERES A COMPETITION I CAN ACTUALLY ENTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i'm from NZ) YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Derek, all you need to do is change ur profile pic (facebook) and post that link on ur page???????? Plz answer bak! *SCREAMZ!*
Hi Derek. :) So, I made this account JUST to comment on this. You must feel extraordinarily pleased with yourself for making people only comment on this. Um, anyway, this is my entry:
http://fuckyeahskulduggerypleasant.tumblr.com/post/11428886545/competition
That's my Skulduggery blog I run. It's all yours though, except for the few things I have made (cough Nyan Skulduggery, Pizza Supreme Vaurien cough)
I wouldn't say I've done a lot to promote Skulduggery. But I got my sister hooked on the books and she loved them, and I got a few of my friends, who like it (but don't love it... YET. I'm still working on their brains, I mean...awkward.) And my parents like that I read something that isn't like 'Twilight'.
Yes, well, I hope you like it. Sorry for talking a lot. I generally do that when I'm nervous.
Probably shouldn't have said that.
Annnnyway, hope you like it and can't wait for you to tour in Australia. :)
-Sam
Hi Mr. Landy!!
Okay, here's what I've done for the 'Friend get Friend' competition:
1.) Uploaded onto my Facebook.
2.) Changed my display picture to Tom Percival's new cover for Skulduggery (US).
Hope you pick me :D
PS. PLEASE COME TO AUSTRALIAAAAA~!!!!!!! :D
Hi Mr. Landy!
I made a blog post on the free ebook on my book review blog and I posted the linky and the picture. I also went to post the covers of the other two books in ebook form and I commmented on them. Le post: http://pineforapples.blogspot.com/2011/10/skulduggery-pleasant-free-ebook.html
Ave Golden God! :D
https://mail.google.com/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#buzz/116572324221989960993
I've made a Buzz (just as ridiculous as a Tweet, and yet so much cooler) on Gmail. I also referenced Doctor Who. Just that kind of mood.
Derek, i think you should take notice of this:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Tennant-For-Skulduggery-Pleasant/274656259222558
uuuhhh I posted way back but then I read Author-to-be's post and realised that I'm not sure if I was EXACT enough :)
So...
First I logged onto my facebook account, then glanced at the dashingly fabulous picture of myself and my friend in which we are cosplaying as The Doctor, then downloaded the skullduggery e-book image, then uploaded it as my profile picture, then I posted the fantabulous link onto my wall. :)
I then went onto my Youtube account and for the first time I played around with the settings and managed to upload the picture of the cover as my profile thumbnail. I then posted a bulletin to my 4 subscribers with the link in it :)
I hope I did you proud Mr Landy.
My youtube account name is amzingawesomepie77
I want those signed books soooo bad. I swear I would probably sleep with them for the first couple of weeks... (thats a tad creepy isn't it?) :/
Who cares though, it would mean that THE GOLDEN GOD HIMSELF would have touched them! :D
*amazingawesomepie77
my bad...
Hey Derek! I just joined the blogging world! :D anyway, I wanted to enter you competition if that's alright with you? Okay I think yes... so here's what I did. I put it as my new blog photo, I put the link to the free eBook on my Facebook page aaaand (there's an and XD) I put it as my Facebook profile picture. You can view it here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1352211334653.2050216.1512492596&type=1#!/profile.php?id=1512492596&sk=wall

Hey guys. Anyone remember me? Sorry I haven't been here for forever, but I was avoiding the blog like the plague. Since I'm also in North America, I had to wait to get the next book and I was afraid of finding spoilers here. Anyways, I have the 6th book now and I'm back :3
So how are we doing this contest? Are we just posting a comment that we did the spreading the word thing? Or do we also post a screencap of our work?
Okay well, I changed my facebook profile picture to the new American cover and posted the link on my wall. Whoooo!

@Fly- yes! good to see you too.
Has anyone seen kallista, by the way? I know she was going to go on a trip, but just wondering if she had internet access and such.
I haven't seen Kal, I didn't know about the trip. Keeping up with what's going on around me isn't exactly my strongest point.
Hey Derek!
I have entered the 'competition' by making a post on my tumblr page ( www.tumblr.com/alanrickmanconfessions ). The blog has currently 477 followers and the number is increasing. ( i put the post under the tag #Skulduggery Pleasant and #Derek Landy. more people will see it ) I'm pretty sure they'll check it out! Cheers!
@ven- dayum...and I have no idea. While we're on smut, I just watched holes...again. Sam and Kate kissing is one of the more happy things I've seen in forevers.
