Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

I'm waiting for my AvisWalnut account email.

Zathract Mist said...

Okay. :)

*leaves again*

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you zath!

Star Inkbright said...

*keeps forgetting to do paste*

Damn.

KATIE MCGRATH FOR CHINA SORROWS!

Eve the ROCK said...

*is sad because Mist left again*

*is angry because of repetitive comments*

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye nix btw

Nixion Strange said...

Well, it's a little late, 'cause im back

PICK ME FOR THE BAGESTAGE PASS ON YOUR TOUR DEREK!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

*glares and sits against tree with wombat*

Nixion Strange said...

im going to stop that for now

Eve the ROCK said...

Thank you! :D

Mist, come back!

Zathract Mist said...

I'm not talking again until Star stops. The whole concept is idiotic and Derek can't even read the comments.

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns*
Yes he can, and if you don't like what we're doing, you could try asking us, instead of sulking

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw. :(

Gabriel said...

What are you guys doing again??

Star Inkbright said...

I think i'm gonna go on a bike ride today . . .

*is terrified*

I really, really hope i don't faint. Last bike ride i went on, i almost fainted, and the time before that, i fainted. The only other time i fainted was when i went rockclimbing a few days after having flu. It's just cycling that makes me faint, really . . . Well, once it was coz i had a flat tyre and the other coz o forgot my gears, but i am STILL SCARED.

PICK NIX FOR THE BACKSTAGE PASS ON YOUR TOUR DEREK!

KATIE MCGRATH FOR CHINA SORROWS!

Gabriel said...

Hmm...

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs*

*stops it*

*for now*

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay! :D

Mist, you have no excuse now. :)

Star Inkbright said...

(I only stopped it coz none of it is eve's buisness so it's not fair that she gets punished coz of it)

Zathract Mist said...

Firstly, no he can't. If you actually read any of his posts, you would know that he's been complaining about how he CAN'T read past the FIRST PAGE of comments. Also, I know he gets an email each time someone comments, but do you really think he even checks his emails? And if he does, I doubt that these would be sent to him. There is an option to disable the comment notification. I've done it.

Secondly, I DID ask, and you DIDN'T stop. Why the hell do you think I left? Read through things before accusing someone of not already doing something. *rolls eyes*

Nixion Strange said...

how do you get to gringots?

Eve the ROCK said...

*gives star a purple banana*

*also gives Nix one*

Star Inkbright said...

*hopes it absolutely chucks it down so the bike ride gets cancelled*

*or, even better, we DO go on the bike ride, and i don't feel at all like fainting*

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins at Star* Try destroying your bike. That'll do it.

Star Inkbright said...

Zath, if you actually read the COMMENTS, you'd see he now knows how to see past the first page of comments. And OF COURSE i read the posts.

Nixion Strange said...

I know that Mist, but if you noticed he hasn't complained about that in ages. And i know about the comment notification disable thing, I'm not stupid
And leaving isn't asking to stop. You aksed Star you stop, but never said a word to me. I don't appriciate people acting all supeior to me, or calling me an idiot.

Star Inkbright said...

*shakes head*

That'd do it for today. But i'd get a new bike sometime before summer, probably. There is no escaping bike rides:(

Gabriel said...

Stop arguing.

Zathract Mist said...

Wasn't talking to you, Star, I know you would read the posts.

And I DID tell you to stop, on the LAST post when you were too busy spamming like crazy. I yelled at Star when my first three comments telling you both to shut up were ignored. I didn't tell at YOU because you weren't spamming at the time.

Also, I really don't give a crap whether or not you like how I talk to you. Also I didn't call you an idiot.

Eve the ROCK said...

Then we must plot to make bike riding illegal!

I GOT THE EMAIL!!!

Star Inkbright said...

I really don't see what the problem is. Okay, a mile long repetitive comment can be annoying, because you have to do a lot of scrolling, but a few lines of capitals at the end of each comment is nothing! It takes up barely any space and you don't have to read it! It's not like we're not putting other non-spamming stuff above it!

Nixion Strange said...

Fine. Just fine then
*leaves*

Gabriel said...

Hi Eve. Hi Mist. Hi Strange Hi Star.

Star Inkbright said...

If we do THAT, our family will have to spwnd a lot more on petrol, seeing as my dad cycles to work every day. Unless it's snowing or something.

Star Inkbright said...

Hellio gabbio.

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Nix. Have fun in the real world.

Gabriel said...

Nixion didn't leave. He's probably doing something else...playing a game or something, jut reloading the page occasionally..

Zathract Mist said...

Now is everyone done spamming or do you want me to leave again so I dont shout at you?

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you nix. Sorry for getting you into this argument. Sorry. Really sorry.

Zathract Mist said...

Tch. I hate this place so much...

Eve the ROCK said...

*looks at Mist*

...

Zathract Mist said...

I don't hate YOU, Eve. Or Nix, or Star or Lynxia or Sparky or... A lot of people. But I hate this place.

Lynxia Lost said...

Are we here now?

Zathract Mist said...

We are. Hi Lynxia.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi lynxia.

Gabriel said...

Hello Lynxia.

Eve the ROCK said...

*tilts head* Without us, there wouldn't BE a place.

...

What's your username?

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Lynxia

Zathract Mist said...

WillowEcho30903

Lynxia Lost said...

Great. Nix is gone. Last day of the holidays and I had around 20 mins with him. Just bloody perfect. *sits under tree hoping he will come back*

Nixion Strange said...

*walks back in*
Your wish is my command
Hi Lynxia

Gabriel said...

It's gettin awkward with my friend..

Lynxia Lost said...

NIX!!!!! *jump hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry. *knows it is my fault*

Don't tell me it isn't. It is. We all know it is. Fact.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi nix!

Nixion Strange said...

Very happy to see me
*grins*
I'm happier to see you

Lynxia Lost said...

Your fault for what Star?

Lynxia Lost said...

*arches eyebrow* Doubt it. *kisses him*

Nixion Strange said...

*kisses back*
Only 20 minutes? Damn

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, Pottermore is broken

Eve the ROCK said...

Thanks. :)

Nixion Strange said...

ah, no, it's wroking again, don't mind me

Star Inkbright said...

That nix left.

He left coz of the argument.

The argument was my fault.

It was entiiiiiiiiirely my fault. Fact. But that's okay. I'll learn from my mistake, or try to. Next time somebody tells me to stop, i'll remeber this and stop. Well, i HOPE i'll remember.

So, it was my fault.

Nixion Strange said...

I just finished getting my wand. I should get a house soon. And i sent you a friend request as well

Zathract Mist said...

...

What?

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm sure it wasn't anyone's fault just on there own.

Gabriel said...

I have to go.

Not like you guys care.

Jokes.

Time to light up a fire.

Nixion Strange said...

Star, that wasn't your fault

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Gab... wait, fire?

Lynxia Lost said...

Me? Can't get on Pottermore at the mo. It won't work very well on my phone. Gotta wait until I can get on my laptop.

Star Inkbright said...

It was. *shrugs*

But that's okay. Like i said, i'll try and learn from it.

Zathract Mist said...

How was it your fault...in the slightest...?

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye gab

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you gab!

Lynxia Lost said...

Damn. My comments are disappearing again...

Nixion Strange said...

That's fine Lynxia. I'm just sayign so you won't think some random person sent you a friend request. Well, i am random, but not in the same way...

Star Inkbright said...

*gives zath a "duh" look*

Coz i wouldn't stop spamming!

Eve the ROCK said...

Sent you a request, WillowEcho. :)

Anyone else who has Pottermore?

Yo nixiono

Nixion Strange said...

i started it first. How is it your fault?

Nixion Strange said...

When do you get the houses? What chapter
I am addicted to this...

Zathract Mist said...

And I was the one who came back to fight. The reason I leave in the first place is so I don't fight. I came back to fight.

It was, essentially, my fault.

Lynxia Lost said...

Just posted on What If?

Star Inkbright said...

Coz everyone was fine with you starting it till i went and made my big long comments! THAT was when everyone started getting annoyed!

Gabriel said...

I might be on later, if the fire doesn't burn. Maybe. Bye Everyone.

Star Inkbright said...

*shrugs* okay. It was everybody's fault then. Well, us three. So let's ALL learn from it.

Nixion Strange said...

Okay Lynxia
And Star.... no

Nixion Strange said...

if anything, it was my fault

Zathract Mist said...

Okay, Eve. :)

Won't be back on a computer again until tomorrow though. :(

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Gab! (Again.)


Damn disappearing comments.
Damn the phone for not putting in indentations.

Zathract Mist said...

Here we are arguing about who's fault it was that an argument started. What a trio we are. :P

Nixion Strange said...

That's a really good idea Lynxia. I wish i thought of it...
Hmm, how am i going to go about this...

Eve the ROCK said...

Okay. I'll just...try to figure out what the hell im supposed to do here.

My comments are under moderation, apparently. :)

Nixion Strange said...

Maybe we just love to argue. Maybe we're so smart, that we have to argue. That doesn't make any sense, btu i like the fact thet we are smart in it, so let's go with that

Lynxia Lost said...

No idea. Are you even dead?

*looks out window* OMGG, that cloud looks like Yoshi!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

To start a new line on phones/iPods/etc, you do:

Writing<_br /_>
<_br /_>
Writing

(But ignoring the _)

And it comes up as:

Writing

Writing

Or:

Writing<_br /_>
Writing

(But ignoring the _)

And it's:

Writing
Writing.

DO put the space between the r and the / though.

Nixion Strange said...

Yoshi!
And i'll thinnk of something... give me a little time, and i'll have somethign up there

Lynxia Lost said...

Thanks Star!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, Hogwarts is in Scotland... who knew?

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi L!

Eve the ROCK said...

Woo!

I can't believe you're in Slytherin, Mist. *throws a pillow at him*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Luciana!

Star Inkbright said...

*is couting how many merlin episodes i've watched, including repeats*

13 - 0 - 13 - 26 - 39

13 - 13 - 26 - 39 - 52

13 - 0 - 0 - 13 - 26 - 39

13 - 0 - 0 - 13 - 26.

39 + 52 = 91 + 39 = 130 + 26 = 156
After this round of watching them all? We'll've watched more or less 156.

Lynxia Lost said...

Zath, you're Slytherin too! *high fives* What are you Eve?
