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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4814 Newer› Newest»STILL HERE! *HUG* Hi Lego! I haven't seen you in a while. Is Venice Rain going to make some Skulduggery Portal thing? Because that's amazing. I love Portal.
yayz hugs! *huggies*
yeah, that's her plan, apparently. I don't play portal, I just absorb it from everyone else I know. :)
Highly recommended. One of my favorite games to blow off steam.
So I'm assuming you entered the contest? I did the facebook thing. :)
I'm incredibly awful a video games...even the racing kind they have at the dentists' office. I usually just cut up all my clothing and swear at things when I'm pissed, which is quite satisfying.
*hi fives* I did the fb thing too. Don't think I convinced anyone to do anything, but alas.

it's only me there right now, though.
I'm a casual gamer, but there are a lot of games out there that are very user friendly. The cute Professor Layton and Pheonix Wright games are in no way reflex-demanding, but are still incredibly fun. Zelda's always been a fan favorite of mine.
*hi fives back* I didn't convince anyone to do the same, but I DID convince 2 friends to read the series. They went out and bought the first 3 books and fell in love instantly. WE HAVE MORE CONVERTS >:D
Back!!!¡¡¡!!!
Sorry, dozed off.
It is pretty late here.
Go Phoenix Wright! Ftw!!!
hmm...shall have to try those. I do play minecraft on and off, which is quite fun and not at all stressful and killing-prone.
Hi Pyro! I think we've met before but I'm not sure...
Hi Kal!!!¡¡¡!!!
*hugs*
I'm excellent thanks! And how are you?
Hi Fly!!!¡¡¡!!!
I know we met 2 hours ago, I can't remember before…
*plans how to find the first two Phoenix Wright games*
I prefer Layton games, to be honest xD
Jack where Jill had had had had had had had had had the examiner's favour.
I haven't played Layton games.
*adds to 'Things to do' list*

I was writing the poem/song thing
Oooh, I love original lyrics and poems. Will you share a sample with us? :D
I'm not sure, possibly. Then I'll compose a tune for it and I think octa will post it on YouTube. This is of course assuming that I do indeed finish writing it.
Sure thing Fly!
This is a blog I created just for poetry that we guys write
skulduggerypoetry.blogspot.com
He's good too. Sleeping as usual though.

Changed my profile picture and updated my status. Also tossed it on my blog but I don't get many readers.
I am here until I fall asleep; which means not for very long. Who knew roller skating for 2 hours took SO much energy?
And don't try to hide it - I know you guys have missed me :D
I posted a status update with the link and the cover on my MSN account :)
I posted about the Skulduggery ebooks on my blog. http://minniefacts.blogspot.com/2011/10/skulduggery-pleasant-released-as-ebook.html
I so hope they do amazing in America this time around. =)
hey hey
Le done, posted it on the few social networking sites i know of :) Changed my Profile pic too. My FB friends are going to be really confused :) lol
Posted link etc on Twitter (@Jeniwren87) also have added a display my class did for a Skulduggery Pleasant project we did at school. We read the first book, wrote their own chapters, reviews, describe the characters, did huge collages of the characters, chose their own names - it was so much fun!
Yay! I have put the new cover as my profile pic on Facebook and posted the link on my wall. I have also done the same on MSN. I have put the new cover as my proline picture on Twitter and tweeted the link (with the hastag and saying to retweet) And finally, I have also put the cover as my proflie picture on Youtube and posted the link in a bulletin.
Thanks for coming to Newcastle! That was probably the best day ever! Glad you liked your mug and Jelly Babies!!! (and I hope you remembered me playing Valkryie in the films...) :P
WOOP! I HAVE A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT!

Cya there, hopefully.
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.
I would gladly give up my place in the competition for her and I'm sure that many others agree with me.
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
Hellboy (Cheers, Octa, for your brilliant idea)
Kal?!? Why!?! Who?!? Your the best, honest person here don't leave not for ever,... Please do it for the people who love.... YOUR friends

Derek you hear that?!?
Faithfully
Your minion
FLAME PHOENIX :)
KALLISTA PENDRAGONNNNNNNNNNN!
You can't just leave! So what if some people gave a complaint? That's what life is, full of complaints. We just have to ignore them if we're going to get anywhere.
Please Kallista! Stay! Think of all the other people here who find you a really, really amazing friend! You're a lovable person, and anyone who says otherwise is such a bumbling idiot that they probably don't realize and thing that they're saying.
Kallista...please come back...
Tra-la-laaaa...
There are old people hamburgers falling from the ceiling...
Good morning costituents of the Internet and local areas!!!! Man, Haven't commented in a--ggg--ee---sss...but I have been reading the posts Golden God!

Anyway, Master D, Sos for the late reply but:
- Posted my MSN status: "Yo, I am sharing http://bit.ly/qNJYCP" (reluctantly changed it from "the Sparrow flies south for Winter”)
- Changed my YouTube and MSN display picture to the awesom-ness of Tom Percival's Cover
- 'Tweeted' on my twitter
- Posted on my Youtube account as a comment and bulletin.
- Oh, and i don't have Facebook, but I have got my cousin in New York into getting the generously free eBook
That is all.

My uncle is cooool. And so is my other uncle. And my dad. They're all musicians. So are me and my brother. He plays guitar. And I play cello...
He would think it was funny. He doesn't have a band, really, but he sings and plays guitar and harmonica. Have you ever heard of him?
No, sorry. Wait, I don't even know his name. Does he have a name he likes sharing?
Hehehe.

And I DID steal his Bentley! He can have it back when I'm done with it.
I do hope that The almight Derek Landy reads these posts and fin ds himself rather amused by all this :)
i might be a bad dude coz they have the better weapons :-D
we should call 999/911 on dantea for theft
Who wouldn't be amused? Were fighting for the fate of the world on a blog comments section. It's very amusing.
but a good guy coz they are overall good
:-D u won't be liked though u know
taz,thats not ttrue at all, just a myth, we do in fact have the better weapons as we hav the better inventors etc.
Ha! I'm in America though, the Garza cant touch me.
tru tru it is VERY AMUSING(dantae dredkin)
nice ill be a good guy goo i want weapons yay
thats what YOU think but there are ways of getting to you :) we will get the bentley back to s.p but first i must call s.p and see if his bentley is in fact missing :L
And the bad guy always have better weapons, because they don't listen to pesky weapon restriction laws.
yes but we set the restriction laws and we increase them all the time to make better weapons to get at you!!! btw i called s.p his bentley is not missing!!!!
i know plus u cant call sp coz hes gone crazy with china killing his family n all
SPOILER IF YOU HAVENT READ SP DEATH BRINGER
yes but val answered
plz dont crash his bently any of u
coz its gonna break an i quite like reading about the bently
Taz as you know i am in charge of the good side,if you accept ... i would like you to be second in command :)
:( poor s.p
Darn it! I don't get it for 4-6 weeks.
And he only THINKS its his Bentley. Really, it's his bentley's reflection. Tell him to look and see what side of the dash board his steering wheel is on.
yay i want to be second in command taz the lion killer reporting for duty
and crystal would you have the honour of being third in command???
accept
he/she has to accept
Yes i would love to.
dantea ... his steering whell is on the right side ... you might hav made a minor mistake and accidentley taken the refletcion yourwsel;f :L
