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...

Since when did my blog have 11 followers???
Since I decided to follow! :D
THANKS ACACIA!!!
*glomps*
#Flails under glomp attack#
Because… I don’t need… my throat… at all!
*gets off*
Oh! Sorry!
#Composes self and sits on conveniently placed marble slab#
You know, if I didn’t need my throat to drink tea, it’d be all yours. You could have a taxidermy-ised throat on your wall.
It's so cool that you're asking us what we'd like to see at the back of the book, and I knew I could think of something really exciting, and I wanted to really bad, but I got nothing. I mean I've had a few days to think about it, but I haven't actually thought about it. I'm too lazy.
But I'd definitely like to see deleted scenes. And I dunno, I always want to read something from Skulduggery's POV. Maybe his or Val's or anyone's thoughts on current events or pop culture or the classics. And you know, sometimes DVD's have those "Which Character are You" quizzes. It would be fun to take one written by you. Any extra material will be fun though. =)
...
Okay, I'm pretty bad, but do you seriously think I'm THAT mental?
Ooh ooh! Maybe you could do a director's commentary type thing and maybe just stick a few of your favorite scenes in the back along with your comments on the bottoms of the pages. That'd be cool.
To be honest, no. I think that I’m that morbid and mental, but not… not really.
Somehow.
Me? I'm mental. No way around the fact. But I doubt I'm morbid.
I see… I am a morbid, tea-sessed pyromaniac with more than a few mental 'diseases’.
I ama pyro.

Lightening makes fire.
Hmm…

… Yes. Yes, indeed.
With a side order of:

Right away, Sparky!
Goodoh.
Hello Sparky,
Damn.
Acacia, you'll have to cancel that order.
SO LONG!!!
NO! DON’T LEAVE MEH! THE TEA IS READY!
Oh fine.
*winks*
Hello Niamhb.
#Shudders slightly at wink#
#Sips tea with disturbed expression# :D
...
I had actually left, I just managed to come back.
*gets out shield*
I have lost The Game.
*braces for impact*
I thought so. I’m glad that you came back. Blogland would have been a very desolate place.
NOOOOOOOOO! ARGHHHHH! #Jumps with claws and teeth bared#
*yelps as Acacia lands on me*
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SHI-
*sees shield flying away*
*runs*
#Gallops after Sparky with teeth bared and a ripping, guttural snarl#
I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE COULD I???
*calls Hayley, who helps onto the top of a building*
Thanks Hayley.
H: Anytime.
*looks down at enraged Acacia*
I'll what till you calm down.
#Raises an eyebrow#
I’ll be calm once I have tea.
The have tea please.
YES, ABSOLUTELY! :D
#Drinks an amount of tea that could be classed- and is- under ‘Binge Tea Drinking#
What type of tea is it, Sparky,
You do that.
#sigh# Coffee?
No.
For me, it's soda or water.
Or watermelon.
*giggles*
I just changed the question on my profile.
Please look at my answer.
Oh… in that case, hello, non-caffinated person.
I used to have an alarm clock, but it kept going off at 12AM...
HAHAHA!!!
Yeah… mother threw it out. I was sad. It was cute.
Well, there's my Dalek alarm clock which I don't use and my clock alarm clock that I set up near my brothers head for five minutes later on his only ever hangover.
I got into SOO MUCH TROUBLE.
Hello???
Sorry, I’m here! :)
Dalek is awesome!
Yes.
I decided not to use it after what happened to my ACTUAL alarm clock.
...
Poor clock...
I want a clock like Derek’s… NO! I want a Skulduggery clock. A skull with a Fedora that plays ‘The Girl From Ipenema’ :D
Three of my friends just rocked up asking if the could use my pool. ‘Suuuure…’ #Run to make tea#
...
Tell them I said Hi!
To confuse them.
*laughs evilly*
I WILL!
YES!
The Response: #Weird face# Hi. How do you do. I am going for a swim. So, bye.
*rofl*
I love it when I do that!!!
*looks over shoulder*
Excellent.
MINE!!!
*jumps on first*
I WIN!
Another one said: Who…. Is SPARKY!?
The last one asked: Are you playing Skyrim?
I DEDICATE THIS PAGE TO DEREK AND...
*dramatic chipmunk music plays*
HAVING THOSE SIXTEEN PAGES FILLED WITH A QUIZ (on how well you know SP) AND A TEASER FOR THE NEXT BOOK!!!
And to speaking in caps.
Oh… I see how it is. D;
*waves at Acacia's friends*
HELLO!!!
ARGH! NO! THERE CAN’T! BE A TEASER! EVERYONE WILL BE FOREVER ALONE FACED BECAUSE THEY HAD A SAMPLE OF WHAT INDESCRIBABLE IS! BUT NOT THE WHOLE THING! D:
Gotta go, BYE!!!
Me, too! BYE!!!
It's weird. Derek posted three days ago and we have already gotten past 3000 comments.
STILL?!
Like, what the hell. When I'm here the place feels post-apocalyptic. Derek hasn't posted again.
I FEEL CHEATED.
Hey, what about a page with really funny comments from this blog? Some really crazy. Some everybody has to laugh about.
Hey, Anyone around for a random conversation?
How about a timeline of events? Character profiles? Maybe some secret dedications? Memories of your signings? Who knows!:3
That's a pretty good idea Valice some of the things we come out with on here are a little odd.
maybye the top 5 fanfiction and you could have a competion thats better than 16 blank pages right?
Hi if there is anyone here
Hello. No one there? Oh well
If no one wants to talk to me than let it be.
This is useless. I need a life.
I will once again post my suggestion
Pick a few of the competition entries and put them in. It would be cool to see some in a book!
Maybe I should leave now.
Last request.
If you haven't said hello to me before write hello underneath
Good bye
Cruel blog.
I think you should fill it with deleted/discarded scenes. Just my opinion =)
You should draw us all BEAUTIFUL pictures. :D
Here's an idea... write The Game on either all, or one random page.
Imagine the reactions!! :L
He should put pictures of the characters or deleted scenes
16 pages? Love to hear a ramble/background info on the minor-ish characters. What's Spring-Heeled Jack been up to, for insance? How did Dusk become a vampire?
Then again, hearing Word of god would take away a lot of what my friends and I can discuss... :P
Page after page of the words "I had no clue what to write."
Honesty is the best policy!
I was going to read all the comments above to see if anyone had said anything I am going to, but I gave up after reading around five of them. So here are my suggestions.
- Deleted Scenes from previous books, as much as you can remember anyway, because that would be simply awesome!
- Interviews With Characters would be equally awesome, and hopefully just as funny as the books
- Possibly some bits of some of your earlier book ideas that never got published?
- What would be REALLY cool would be some events between the books that were never said. Eg: some of the other villains Skulduggery and Valkyrie had to fight, some of the things Skulduggery did during his time in the parallel dimension with the Faceless Ones, even some of the events in The War with the Dead Men and Mevolent would be awesome!
- Some of the things Flecher is doing in Australia (unless you're planning on using that in future books)
I'm out of ideas, but I hope you've got something to work on after all these comments. Keep up the awesome work, Derek!
deleted scenes definately
and also, advertise the most fabulous skulduggery fansite there is, the sanctuary:
http://s11.zetaboards.com/The_Santuary/index/
Yeah deleted scenes would be awesome! anyway... DLandy is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello??
hi
We all here?
just saying goodbye
Oh, okay. Bye, Nix. *waves as Hogwarts Express chugs off into sunset*
NIGHTMARE!!!
Mist? Are you here?
Bye!
Damn comment format.
Bye, Nix.
I don't much like it either.
Bye Nix!
Eve my Internet will die shortly. I think they said something about broadband shutting down after 11
Oh, okay. *nods*
Wait, what time is it over there?
11:05pm
Ah. That doesn't leave much time, then.
*hugs Mist just in case*
*collapses onto couch*
*sighs* I have to go now. The internet's probably off for you anyway. Bye, Mist. *hugs*
Shhh... I'm not supposed to be on here.
Oh! No one's here anyway. Where has everyone gone off to?
Hi
Hello? Is this where everybody went?
... i might not be able to find you if this keeps up... *sigh* :(
Gotta go now then... Bye.
And, nobody's here...
Hi Blue.
Hi Star. Pic? Again?
On your phone...
OK. Inkbright, though. Seriously? I wouldn't have gone with that one...
Hi Sparky! Nice dedication.
^^ (look at top of page) ^^
Yes...
I was quite surprised to see that.
Yeah. Me too.
Quick Question? - Do you remember Stella Day?
Vaguely... I think.
No. Yes?
No idea.
OH. Cuz I keep in touch and she says a friend of hers will be on here soon. Her comments started to vanish then her blog went then her whole account. Weird thing is - she has exactly the same BD and name as me, really creepy...
How are you? Heard there were floods round you and Zath.
I have no idea what's he's talking about.
I'm too high up to flood.
Oh. Never been flooded. Nearly once. Never happened though.
K Star. Am on main comp. so I can't e-mail. Will on laptop tomorrow.
I've never been anywhere near flooded.
I've been FLASH-flooded.
I don't think that counts.
Lucky you. Isn't it nearly 5am or something for you Sparky?
Yes.
You're getting the hang of it Shads!
YAY! I'm planning to move to Australia when I've got my degrees and stuff.
We do that on the lake. And ice-skating. Good times for revenge...
Yes.
You get snow.
You get SNOW.
Yeah, snow is good...
I need to go, BYE!!!
Btw, I'm going figure skating now. To train.
BYE!!!
I'm going there because... I don't know why, actually. *shrugs* If I did move I would have to meet you and Zath and Eve and Nix. All of you!
Bye Sparky! *hugs*
Not even a recongition

Hello??
hi guys!
damn i've been on twice and no 1s been on!
hello!?
Hi
And I'm alone...
Oh god...
This is...damn
Hello?? Anyone here NOW?
Ho
I mean hi!
Hi Eve! *hugs* How are you?
Worried.
Hi Star!
We're all worried about Zath.
You're not heartless. Who said that?
Some jerk in my class. He got s pen in his ear.
*a not s
I know! *sniffs*
A pen in his ear?
*hugs Eve* It's been a bit hard on love all round at the mo. It'll be OK.
Yeah. I put it in his ear with the end snapped off so his ear was black. I only write in black, see.
And to think, all of that happened to him while I was eating tuna pasta.
I know. I saw the comments. I was brushing my teeth and nearly dropped the phone in the sink.
Well, thats not heartless. You were just in a deaf-by-pen mood.
We're not even allowed to write in black at my school. I've gotten so sick of blue.
We could only write in blue at both my primary schools so I wrote in black, green and red. And once purple just to annoy them.
*grins* I like purple. *takes part in banana fest*
*waltzes in, smiling lazily*
I could leave at any moment, so don't expect any farewells.
I'm in a great mood right now!
What were the deleted scenes like?
Why are you in such a good mood?
Hi, by the way.
Hi Flame and Sparky!
My phone could die at any min. so probably no farewells' from me either...
Okay.
Hello Shadow, Eve and Flame!
*hugs for all*
*jumps in lake and floats on back* Wish I could do this right now but the sailing club's on...
Sparky.
I demand at least a smile.
Yeah, sure. Why are you so happy?
