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:

Everisseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hi! I haven't seen you for AGES! Good to see you :D
~glomps~
Greetings and salutations, Thrust!
Pleasure to make your acquaintance! :D
~glomps~
Now, to avoid confusion... are you a boy or a girl?
Sometimes it's hard to tell :P
It's good to see you too! I've just been distracted and busy lately...
The following link is MUY IMPORTANTE.
blogland2011.blogspot.com
Boy,
14
Yay! It's a booooooooooooy!
And in a non-creepy way, we need more boys around here. :P
I actually HAVE noticed that...
Have I just passed some sort of test?
Time to go take a look at that link me thinks!
X
XD
We do need more boys around here. The disproportionate female:male ratio surprises me sometimes.
Okay, so what are everyone's thoughts on a Secret Santa fic/poem exchange?
Salutations, Sabrina! I'd say nice to meet you, but I talked to you in a fanfiction.net PM once, so nice to meet you here!
Yay! New post!!!

@Thrust

Greetings and salutations, Sabrina!

Pleasure to make you acquaintance! :D

*prances off, in a random mood of Halloween*
*Thalia walks in, with a monotone expression*
Thalia: She loves creepy cemeteries and dead things.
*Mar jumps back, waving her hands in the air happily*
Mar: In fall, everything's DYING! ITS SO COOL! I could be a Necromancer!
*Mar prances away again, dragging Thalia with her*
Thalia: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

*waves*
Hello!
bye sky *hugs* Happy Halloween!
Oooooohhhhhh???
Derek write new story?
Ophelia must go read now.....
On another note what is everybody going to do for Halloween?
IDK how things work over there in that Europe place but over here in America everyone dresses up and goes trick-or-treating, I'm guessing that's what you people with the fancy accents do as well but I'm not sure.
I'm going as the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton Alice and Wonderland and my friends are going as the rest of the characters. We have been working on our costumes for over a year now so they are frekin' AWESOME!!!
We are already planning next years costumes...were thinking of our favorite magical Irish book characters but we think we might have to hold off a few years until your books get SUPER-DUPER famous so people actually know who we are.....
ANY WAY
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
I have a sudden craving for ramen noodles, and no idea why I felt the need to share that fact.
Oh, hi! I really, really love Halloween. Like, if Halloween was a person, I would totally kiss hir. Sadly, we're prolly not going to get many trick or treaters this year, (stupid snow) but at least more candy for me! Yay!
Also, my dad gave me his old iphone, so I can get on here when my laptop isn't permissible. Not xat, though. Has anyone figured that out?
YAY! Can't wait to read it!
Also, happy birthday to Cassidy! May this day live forever in your mind as the super amazing one that was... Really fun... And stuff... :D
...And happy late birthday to Master Landy! :D
I have to go, guys!
-hugs everyone-
Dinner. I'll try to be back later, but for now, see you!
im gonna dress up and hand out candy
bye ev *hugs*
bye kal *hugs*
Thanks everyone!!!! check out my skulduggery pleasant blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 :D x
Lego, xat doesn't work on iPods or iPhones. Check ouy blogland2011.blogspot.com!
-disappears-
Bye ev!
*clings to kal* can you stay just a little longer? :(
*stumbles back*
...dang. Keep getting distracted.
*giggles after a moment, then prances off*
ah, actually, brb.
...wait do I smell WAFFLES?
...or is that just something in the kitchen burning...
...probably the latter.
So how is everyone in blogland!!!!!!!!!! :D
@Lego
Xat does work on iPods and iPhones but I don't know how to do it. ask either Niall or hellboy they come on Xat with their iPods and phones but I don't know how they do it
MMMMH....My Mama just came over to say Happy Wedding Anniversary to my parents, and bring candy.
FOOD!
That is why I love her.
(And why I like my Math teacher. He gives us food, too)
Hey Everybody! Ooh! Desktop thingy! I wouuld use it if I didn't share this laptop with my mum, who would just change it back... Oh well...
OMG DEREK RELEASE IT FAST I WILL STAY UP ALL NIGHT
ALL NIGHT I TELL YOU!!
I gtg now Byee everyone!!!!
*hugs everyone and disappears in a poof of purple smoke*
bye :D
My math teacher gives us lollipops. ;-D
Back!
Everisse Eterna, I didn't know we had talked before?! Or, at least, I don't quite remember it! I am now inclined to say "Hello again!"

Epicness
Bye Ayesha!
My maths teacher is awful. Last week he was like "Lets just make a brief note on tangents". He made us write an entire page.
Speaking of pages, am I actually on the first page of comments? That doesn't happen often....
It was a review you replied to, actually. It wasn't really much of a conversation, I wouldn't really expect you to remember it since it was months and months ago. This used to be my ffnet username, but it got changed to Exalted Pancakes when I gave it to my friend.
Our math teacher is awesome. He's insane, does imitation voices, only makes us take a few notes, never gives us full worksheets for homework, and we play math bingo every Friday with lollipops as prizes. It's a ninth-grade-honors-level algebra class.
@Cassidy - I know right? You just can't beat that song ^^
Ahh, this does explain a lot. In any case, nice talking to you again!
88th!
Darn, 89th and 90th.
well iu can if u listen to this is halloween in the nightmare before christmas!!!!! :D but yes it is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!::D
Everisse, I had a teacher like that last year. But now I'm stuck with the school's worst Maths teacher for antother two years ;( And I already had him in my first year as well!
Cassidy - Heard that too! Love it! I also love Marilyn Manson's version!
Hey Thalia!
Oooh, I can't wait for the story! *does a little anticipatory dance*
Well, actually, I have to go to bed now, so I suppose I can. But anyway.
And this reminded me that I ordered Haunted a couple of weeks ago but now that I went to check on whether it's even been dispatched yet, my whole order seems to have gone missing, as if I'd never placed it at all, although I have the original confirmation e-mail... have to find out what's up with that. Boo.
OK, silliness aside. Happy Halloween Derek! I get to go the school as Sherlock Holmes tomorrow! Happy days.
I love my new background. I already had a Skulduggery one up, and now I have this one, and it's awesome.
Can't wait to read the story!
Thalia!
-glomps-
How've you been?
Hi Bones!
*hugs*
EVVVV!!!
*hugs*
I'm pretty good! Sick, but good. How are you?
dogslikebones- they are both good!!!!
-puts on hazmat suit-
I'm good! Freezing to death, it just snowed yesterday, but good!

VISIT LINK.
*hugs back* God, I haven't been here in a while have I? Haven't hugged for a while!
Sham I have to go in 10 minutes... :( BooHoo
And Thalia! You're so lucky to dress as Holmes! And at school! My school is far too lame for that...
*Shame
*pat's Bones' head*
You're school doesn't let you dress up on Halloween? For shame.
Cassidy - Too true! I bought The Nightmare Before Christmas on dvd a week ago because it was on offer at HMV. I went back to school next week and my friend had bought it for me! ^^' lol. She ended up giving it too her sister.
We can't dress up either. But I'm wearing a headband with cat ears on it anyway.
*sniffle* I know, right? But oh well, I can dress up anyway ^^ They can't stop me! *thunder, lightning and other special effects*
lol i wasn't allowed to buy a jack hoodie cause my friend bought it for my birthday today !!! :D
Ev - I'd love to do the Secret Santa thing, but my email is private. Is there a way I can still do this without giving you my email?
Oh! Happy Birthday! How old are you?
(I got a Jack Skellington bag on holiday ^^)
Thalia- you could create a separate gmail account? I can't send assignments secretly without e-mail or some other form of private communication.
Oops, left without saying goodbye. Sorry, horrible form.
Anyways, how is everyone?
Also, hi Thalia! And anyone else who came in my absence! *hugs*
Happy birthday Cassidy!
Hi Lego!
*hugs*
Ev - my parents somehow know everything I do online, and they would NOT let me make one. You could post a comment on a random one of my posts on either my writing blog or personal blog? I'm the only one who would see it, then I could delete it.
thanks everyone im 13 today :} sweet 13 finally a teenager !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D yas!!! there is a post on my skulduggery pleasant blog about what i got if u wanna check it jus click on my name then the blog :D or look for a previous post cause its there too lol :D !!!! x

I finished The Faceless Ones last Sunday and have already spoiled myself for Mortal Coil twice so I figure I don't have a lot to lose... It's shocking just how much descriptions of books on Amazon give away for those of us who haven't gotten that far...
Sooo a new post.... I was on the last one... I always do that....
Hi everybody!
Oooh, I am super excited for the stories!
Also, my Valkyrie costume is all done and ready for tomorrow. I will look like a teenage thug but it'll be WORTH IT.
133? Not quite an accomplishment but at least I'm on the first page.
(>^.^)>Kimber<(^.^<)
Hey moonie nice to meet u!!!!
Cool....
Is that like a book? Cos most of them are my favourite auuthors
Ms vex nice to see u again...
Hola Phoenix.
How r u?
Pretty good. I'm watching an unsettling medical-doctor show thingy and working on a Skulduggery Pleasant Halloween themed fanfic.
Cool....
Can I have a lookie???
Yeah, I guess. Er, do I just post something on here or...?
Hey Flame! And the rest of you cool kids.
Oooh, what kind of halloween fic?
*shrugs*
Hey moonie Howr u?
Let me just finish typing up a part and then I'll post a little bit on here. I'm posting the whole thing on my other blog either today or tomorrow.
Kay!!
145th!!!
YAY!
Hi octa Howr u?
hi peeps!
Hi misty
hi all
Hi nights
Whenever I apply the halloween desktop thingy, it always cuts Skulduggery and Valkyrie's heads off! How are they supposed to see how awesome they look up there?!?!? SKULDUGGERY... HAS... NO... HAT...! AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all done.
he, he..
hi flame
*bounces in*
*lands on ass*
Ow. Glad that's well-padded. How's everyone?
well you can right click and go to personalize then you can make it so that the whole piki fits!
Hey Ann!
I've not spoken to you in ages!!!
*glomps*
That's what I do when I say, "AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ann
good! how about u?
Pyro says hi too.
Flame: I am doing awesome, Flame! I marathoned Halloweentown movies (and kept imagining the cab guy as Skulduggery...)
You?
Thrust: Go into your system preferences and go to desktop. You should be able to shift the image around a bit until it fits!
hi ann *hugs* how r u?
hi peoples!
ANNNNNNNNNNNNN! *hugs*
wow so many peeps that i haven't met!
btw i cant be on for long!
All right, this is an EXTREMELY short snippet from my Halloween themed Skulduggery fanfic. It doesn't compare to Derek's writing at all but I tried. *sighs* Enjoy I hope!
“Please go away,” Skulduggery was saying to two costumed girls.
But the girls were relentless. “But we’ve got costumes on.” the bottle blonde said. “No one will ever know it’s us!” the redhead said in a pleading tone.
Valkyrie hurried over to the Bentley and approached the two girls. “Carol, Crystal. Um, how are you?”
Carol pointed an accusing finger at Skulduggery and adjusted her bright pink superhero costume. “I recognized him from Gordon’s hearing. But he won’t let us come on an adventure.”
Crystal crossed her arms over her ridiculously inaccurate vampire costume. “And if he was here then we figured you would be coming here too.”
Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie with a tilted head. His hair was black and short today and his eyes were a vivid green. He mouthed the words help me. Valkyrie couldn’t help keep an amused smile off her face. Skulduggery had gone up against villainous bad guys, evil gods, and had confronted his inner demon. But now, cornered by two teenage girls, he was openly asking for help.
I know it's short but that's all you get at the moment. :\
Hi Lego i haven't seen u in ages!!!

I like it Kim!
It made me laugh. :)

Hello
*hugs everyone*
How are you all??
And then I went to get breakfast. No promises I'll stay! Blogger is not on my list of most cooperative sites.
hi NJ *hugs back* im fine, u?
Bonjour Maverick. I'm fine, thanks for asking.
hi ann *hugs*
kk
I think it's a sign that when I just finished my last midterm, there's a new blog post.
Hey NJ!
*hugs*
I'm really tired.
kk Ann...
Kimberly, that's great! XD I love the twins.
hi fly, how r u?
hi fly! *hugs*
@ann- stayyyyy...gmail isn't opening for me. :(
Hey guys! I'm good :) I'm just reading homework and making some cookies. When the cookies are done, I'll leave them out for everyone. I think everyone likes the Canadian cookies :3
*gets Octa a pillow*
Hello back to Pyro, btw!
*goes around hugging everyone* wheeee!
Thanks Ann Marie! And hello to all the people I didn't say hello to.
I am grand, as ever.
Hello Kimberly pleasure to meet you.
good to hear NJ :)
ann, how r u?
Hello Fly.
Nice to meet you.
Hi NJ, nice to meet you too. How're you? :)
Hey Ann, long time no speak.
How are you??
I am Grand, and yourself??
I'll try, Lego. It's taking kind of a long time to load the page, though.
how r u?
Ooh. Pillow! Thanks!
Sorry for slow responses.
I'm practically sleep writing here.
TO EVERYONE: How are you? Got any plans for tonight or tomorrow? I'm going to be watching Nightmare Before Christmas tonight, and tomorrow I'll be giving out candy.
I probably will need to get to bed soon, I didn't go to bed til about 4am last night.
I don't celebrate Halloween.
I'm good! I think. Am I?
Maybe I'm confused.
Halloween is a surprising amount of work, carving stuff and making costumes.
I think I'm trick-or-treating tomorrow. (It may appear immature considering my age but it's quite fun. :3)
im fine, u?
im gonna dress up and hand out candy while to watching a Ghost Hunters halloween special :D
Yippee, first!
congratz on first, kim!
Lucky for some.
I have an icon now! YAAAY.
Sounds awesome so far, Kim!
Anyone as anxious as I am for the contest results? haha
Congrats Kim, what is your dedication??
A dedication? Hmm...
I dedicate this page to the remaining hours until Halloween.
