Hypothetically, if a writer had to fill 16 pages in the back of a book with "extras"- like DVD extras but for, like, a book- then what should he fill those pages WITH?
An interview? A list of his influences? Deleted/discarded scenes? Something else?
Or maybe you'd just like 16 BLANK pages at the end of a book. You know, for your own doodling and such...

Ow ow ow ow ow ow! What did I do?! At least I follow your blog! ...meanie.
Bye, Me! :)
Yay! Werewolves! I like to attack villages. Once, I turned into a werewolf.....and then a dragon swooped down and killed me. I can't believe I had to learn my lesson.
In Skyrim, if you shoot a chicken you get the same bounty you would if you slashed a kid in the face.
…don’t ask me how I know this...
Bye, Inspector! Oh, right. Bye Acacia!
*curls into a ball and falls asleep, still clutching laptop*
okay seeyas
I’m not going...
I mean.. I did… but I was cutting up raw chicken… It’s not a becoming feeling to have raw remains under my hands.
But under my knife? Certainly.
It’s times like this where I feel like singing.
LoneLYYYYYY! Iam so LoneLYYYY! I have noboooodyyyy!
you know what you could do, to fill in those extra few pages? You could put in a story about skulduggery pleasant, 400 years ago, in his point of view.
you could do it in his point of view, which could be interesting seeing as we have never seen anything in his point of view. I once tried to imagine skulduggery in his younger days as a skeleton, like, 100 years after the war, on a big case in his point of view.
*i stress (his point of view) because i really want to see how skulduggery thinks and makes connections in that head of his.
Oh right I'm here
Yo, is Val V still here?
Is anyone still here?
I'm here
So am I. I think.
Okay cool!
I'm just reading Skulduggery quotes and eating live chickens.
I just ate a dead chicken. It was delicious.
No no no, you have to eat them LIVE. They're tastier that way. And fluffier.
Oh… well, perhaps I should buy some chickens. I had a rooster once. I called him Red just to patronise him.
You should have called him Yummy. That would have made him so much more appealing.
bye
#Sigh# I think it is time to begin singing again.
Lo- Oh, LOOK! THE TEA IS READY!
Derek, dear, do drink more tea.
xxx~S'K

Good evening everyoooonnneeeee.
Here in Ireland it's MORNING.
WELL GOOD MORNING TO YOU FINE DEAR CHAP MY LAD.
Hello!
'Ello!
Hello! And I've just seen the bigger image of your pic and it's kinda creepy...
Hello, all!
Hi Acacia!
But creepy is always the only way to go!
Shadow! #Glomps, showering everyone else in tea#
Hello, Sir!
Yeah, I can talk with my gothic pic...
Can I have some tea? I've just woke up!
Name! #Throws full tea cup that somehow defies the laws of gravity at… you#

Hey, Sir!
Who on EARTH would doodle in the back of a BOOK?
That's vandalism!
I can't believe you even SUGGESTED the idea, Derek!!!
Bwaaaaaaa--
/end bibliophile rant.
What age are you guys?
Go away Wonka. You are not wanted here.
Why would we tell you? You put no info on your profile!
Why, thank you, NotMyRealName.
It's nice to know I am loved by PedoBear.
Children, quiver in fear!
Mr Irish over 'ere is going to cut you while you sleep and your age is going to make all the slightest bit of difference!
Yup! I agree with Wonka. Pedo Bear! *laughs*
Well, you can't escape the truth.
But neways, NMRN- we're all a bit too old and muscular for you.
Go try your luck somewhere else ;)
I think he's gone...
Good!
*phew*
Or he's creeping on our conversation.
*jumps in lake and starts swimming*
Oh don't say that - that's just wrong!
?
Wonderful.
SHADOW! Would you like tea? Black tea? Marteani? Oolong? Earl grey? Vanilla rose? Iron Goddess? Emperor’s seven treasures? Nalgiri? The possibilities are endless.
Hello Acacia!
How was your Christmas?
(If you celebrate it)
@Acacia Vanilla Rose please.
@Wonka That he's listening to our conversation.
"0.0
??? 0.o
It is a le panicked sweat face
Or at least I want it to be in this conyext.
*context
BWAA TYPOS
Sorry if it doesn`t actually fit in here but could you possibly let Tanith live without the Remnant inside her?? Please.
OK... I just hope NMRN is NOT watching... or listening... or whatever!
Ugh I know.
Yuck.
Also, Rowena, I couldn't agree more!
OMG You like the Hunger Games?
Yeah! Have you read Sparky's theory?
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com/2011/12/major-spoilers-people-do-not-read-this.html
Bye! *hugs all round* I've gotta go now!
That
Is a good theory.
Also
;u;
I love HG too.
Bye Shadow!
My Christmas was wonderful. I got a plank of wood and turned it into a squid hat rack. :)
How was your Christmas?
Awesome present!
Mine was great- but I need to start getting rid of this Christmas belly...
And as a late Christmas project, me and my Dad are going to make a Hylian Shield :D
Are you back at school yet?
I started on Wednesday, sad face.
I’m not. I go back on the first of February. SO CLOSE TO MY BIRTHDAY! D;
Lucky!
We only get two weeks of Christmas Holiday :C
But we go back three weeks or so before MY birthday :3
That's what keeps me going!
Birthdays are wonderful things. They give you adrenaline and tea parties.
When is your birthday?
20th January
But I'm having my party on the 4th Feb so people can make their costumes in time (it's a fancy dress party!).
14 year olds CAN still have dress up parties!!
My mum’s birthday is the 20th. O.o
Mine is the 9th of February. I have tea parties and dress ups! :D
Bye, now!
xxxx~S'K
WOW! 16 pages to fit ideas into!
I'm... I'm not sure...
You could write a SECRET BONUS STORY!
Or.... a list of Skulduggery stuff. The Skulduggery Lists. E.g. 10 things that Skulduggery is secretly scared of. Or 10 unusual facts about Kenspeckle Grouse. 10 weirdest quotations of Clarabelle. etc...
Or you could write us a song. Or two songs. Whilst we're at it why not throw in another 3 bonus stories. And the song could be titled the Ballad of Meritorius and his Lost Left Shoe. Or A Song About That Guy Wot Did Some Stuff That Relates To The Story (Probably)
Or you can draw us a MAP! Or draw us a picture. Or a poem. DRAW US A POEM I SAY!
So yes. I'd like that.

:/
You got time?
A bit.
You?
Yeah. You wanna roll with that story that we were doing? Where we were in the forest and stuff.. It's your turn to create cuz if I remember someone threw us into a van or something?
Oh... Yeah... Cole chucked is a van...
*in a van heading out of woods*
Ah, one of your friends I presume, as opposed to mine?
Not a friend...
Yes well, he didn't seem the 'friend' type
Any ideas where we are headed or why
No idea... Cavern maybe?
Ah well, do we still have our weapons or magic?
Magic, not weapons but it won't pierce that armour.
Goddammit, I have a limit on my magic did you know that? It runs out if you use more than a lot between a certain time period.
Shall we jump them when the door opens?
Well, I guess we do it my way. *lunges at guard and pulls of helmet and breaks neck, shadows circle boot and kicks back door off.* *turns to Robin* Let's go!
Or you could, and I'll follow *skips after Shadow*
(don't forget to set the scene)
*On a dirt track with hedges on the left and small cottages, runs for the nearest one and jumps through open window and continues to the back. Jumps fence and runs to village square*
Ah there are too many people here. *watches crowds*
Blend. *Walks in direction of crowd, towards Sainsbury's* We need normal clothes, people are staring.
Well I need a hat my hair is RED. Do you have money?
No, but what's wrong with a little bit of crime, eh?
Ah, quite a lot actually *takes mundane grey jumper and matching hat with pair of jeans* Ugh this is soo stupid.
Oh shut up and cut the tags, get them on and run! *chooses skinny, carries on bear foot, black top with Darth Vader on.*
