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...

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4811 Newer› Newest»Oh right I stopped mocking her, then she kicks me,
Then I mocked her once.
How come everyones against moi?
Flame, I also said that there is no need for violence.
Nothing is against you.
*sits down*
I will only talk if Flame apologises.
My cat is an outdoor cat-- keeps fighting with this black and white cat who encroaches on his territory. Just had to break up this caterwauling fight (literally, they were sitting about a yard or two away from each other meowing... but you know, not quite a meow but a wail? Eh, whatever.) Anyway it's been a pain. We have GOT to find who owns that cat... Dear God, why does my cat make me run around the neighbor's yard like an idiot? I had to bribe him with food to come back (pellets) and chase the other cat off (temporarily) He's a hunting cat, too, with a ton of pride. You think YOUR cat's bad, Golden God? You have never met mine.
He had to wear the cone of shame for a month and stay indoors (which drove both parties, human and feline, utterly insane) because he had gotten a cut below his ear and on his throat.
Poor kitty :(
*hugs Ruby's kitty*
*shrugs*
There was the stone, shining bright. It was blue and was very precious by the looks of it. Livanna sighed. She wasn't going even try to steal it. Arax Filate was the proud owner of 'Jems, magical objects for sale and repair shop'. She sighed sadly. She was a magical thief, known throughout the world as the best thief. But 'Jems' was too heavily guarded to even attempt.
Well sparky I don't see it fit that I do so.
*sits and crosses arms, staring at sparky across the room*
Anyone here?9
*smiles back and sends a stream of electricity to Flame's feet*
*sighs an throws the peace-keeper hat on the ground*
I'm done. You're both my friends, so I won't take sides in this.
*flops down on the floor*
*and
Hello again :)
*blocks it with shadows*
Hmph.
*stares harder at sparky*
*her hair catches fire*
Hi Crystal!
*hugs*
*pats hair out in a panic*
MY HAIR!!!
I TOOK ME 13 FREAKING YEARS TO GET MY HAIR LIKE THIS!!!
*sprints across room and tackles him pulling out his hair*
Hello crystal
*nods, still watching as sparky rolls on ground*
Hey Thalia ! *hugs*
*pushes with air*
*throws her into lake and freeze it*
Get over it...
Hi Flame and Sparky too. :) Flame Why did u set fire to Sparky's hair??
No reason.
Hallo!
*shatters ice and blurs in front of Flame, trembling with rage*
My hair.
My hair.
Or perhaps a list of your munchkins? You gotta alotta pages to fill and - with small writing - we may just fit.
This book is dedicated to my minions :
Abcdefg
and Hi Kal :D
Your hair.
Glad we got that sorted.
*speaks in English accent*
*tips top hat*
Just dandy.
You should just say something about all your lovely minions from the blog. I'm sure that would take up sixteen pages.
Thank you Kal.
*rolls eyes*
Ya Derek you should write sixteen pages dedicated to us :D
Why the eye roll?
Because you are wayy too full of yourself for your own good Flame
Oh, well, thanks.
And don't judge, cos miss sparky started it
Sorry, I went to go get an orange to eat.
*walks in on insanity*
*frowns and goes and sits in a bomb shelter, munching on her orange*

Starts humming *here comes the bride*
Hi! I'm back!
Hi shadownito....
Shadow, can I call you Shads?
Only if it's cool with you.
Hi! I've just finished watching an Italian opera. Very long but good!
*raises an eyebrow at sparky*
Reallly?
Shads? Even I'm a bit skeptical...
I'm asking if it's okay first.
*sticks out tongue*
Cool.
Yeah - that's OK! ING! The Golden God posted on my birthday! *faints*
HAH!
I win!
*cuts it off*
*throws tounge in lake*
*Sticks out tongue back at Sparky*
Thhpt.
It still is weird. XD
*OMG
Stupid phone and its spell checker!
Thanks Flame. *kinda hurt*
*growls*
(Writing on a pad)
I can't go into the lake, I'll shock myself. And that hurts. I also happen to need my tongue.
*bleeds on Flame's head*
Why are you hurt?
Because you laughed at me and this stupid spell checker... :(
Well um I could throw you in? Woe that help?
NOOO!!!
I laughed at ruby
Oh... OK then...
Hehe. XD *chucks muffin at Flame*
Well then apologise for what you did later and I will go get it?
*eats it*
Yum!
I want my tongue back.
So, yeah, I'm sorry.
Me apologize or someone else?
*jumps in and grabs tounge*
*throws it at sparky*
Oh... Sparky...
I'm writing a poem for the Golden God. It will be epic. Fourth stanza, here we go.
Yep
*Sows Sparky's tongue back on for her.*
Better?
Are you still here, Sparky?
Thanks Shads.
*pulls Sparky away from Nye after procedure*
Just... just in case.
?
Alar
I did it before it and I haven't bitten anyone for 3 years - I'm on a duet..
What?
*diet
Stupid spell checker!
What have you been doing exactly?
I'm trying to find a closing couplet for my poem... Hm...
"You know it's true, but I say it (again? once more?)"
(somethingsomesomething, somesomethingsomesome)
Personally I'd suggest sixteen pages of Derek's doodling but I'm not so sure he'd go for that.
I'd go for interviews. That would just be awesome.
What do you mean? Just because I'm a rhabilitated cannibal?
*growls*
Damned time difference.
Once more
Robin! *jumps and hugs* How's my best bud?
HEHE. found the rhyme.
SHADOW!! *hugs*
I just woke up. Man, I'm lazy. I had a crazy and very interesting dream, though...
...I woke up at my old primary school with my little sister sitting beside me, when my dead grandmother pulled up beside us and said that she was going to pick us up tomorrow, but she said she needed a check up from the doctors. She died from a stroke, and so I told her to get something to stop fat embolisms so she would live longer. For some reason, it felt like we had travelled through time, and it was the day before she died. We ended up going to a party, where my dead grandfather, who spent his last remaining years in a wheel chair got drunk and started dancing like a maniac. Then I woke up...
*casually nods at Robin*
I'm good you?
*hugs* Have some birthday cake! *offers*
I'm OK, you?
*tilts head at Phoenix, looks hurt*
*smiles at Shadow* HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
...
I want to write more, but it's Val V's turn.
Would anyone like to read it so far? (There's more than last time Myth)
Thank you! Cake?
*nods again*
*kisses her swiftly, but passiontly*
Ah you know I have an aversion to sweet things.
I want to write more, but it's Val V's turn.
Would anyone like to read it so far? (There's more than last time Myth)
Except Phoenix he's sweet
Are you okay Phoenix?
What do you think of Chapter 13 Robin?
Lets read more of sparky's fantastic story.
_-sarcasm not intended-_
No, not really.
And except me?
Why was it so cold? She didn’t want to move. She was comfortable there. But why did it need to be so cold? She could hear something. Sirens. Where was she? She opened her eyes. Ugh. She was still in her bedroom.
Wait. Sirens?
She rolled over and landed on the floor.
‘Ow…’ She moaned. She did that every day. She needed a bigger bed. She got up and looked at her closet. She picked out jeans and a football jersey. She tripped at the top of the stairs and eventually landed on the floor. She did that every day too. She grunted and got up. She checked her watch. 2:30am. What the hell was happening? She opened the front door and saw that the house across the street had broken windows. Nothing to do with her. She shut the door again and walked into the kitchen. She ignored the toaster completely because the last time she used it, the toaster burnt half of her hair off. She opened the microwave carefully and avoided the small explosion of goo.
‘Ryan!’ She called up the stairs. ‘Get down here!’ She heard a groan, a thump and a swear as Ryan hit his head against the ceiling.
‘Microwave?’ He yelled back, leaning over the banister of the hallway upstairs.
‘Yes the microwave.’
‘I have to clean it don’t I?’ He asked. She nodded.
She sat in the dining room eating cereal and glaring at Ryan. Idiot. He had done that two days ago. She didn’t forget to easy. She saw him shuffle out of the kitchen.
‘Done.’ He mumbled, heading back up the stairs. She watched him slowly make his way up the stairs. God, he was stupid sometimes. But, most of the time he was a complete brainbox. He wasn’t smart in the straight A student sense, he was just… Intelligent. He was in University and his looks were deceiving. Very deceiving. He had spiky red hair that people made fun of. He was average height and skinny. His eyes were pale blue and his features were uninteresting. He was funny, in a annoying sort of way and they were housemates. It was her, Ryan and Kat. Oh. Kat.
‘Ryan wait!’ She called up again. He looked down again.
‘What now?’
‘Where’s Kat?’
‘She’s still in bed.’
‘Are you sure?’ She asked.
‘Yes, Harper, I’m positive I ch-‘ He paled. ‘I didn’t check. Are those sirens?’
‘Yes. The psycho has gone arsonist again. Let’s go get her.’ She said. Ryan started muttering something about chains as he got his jacket. They walked out into the freezing cold, crossed the road and entered the forest behind the houses on that side of the street. They walked to the clearing at the middle of the forest and saw Kat sitting in the snow, rocking back and forth slightly. Harper and Ryan shared a look, then Harper tentatively reached towards Kat’s shoulder. Kat looked up, her eyes shining.
‘Hey guys! How are you? I’m good though in retrospect it might’ve been smart for me to bring a jacket out here.’ She said cheerily. Ryan sighed and passed Kat his one.
‘Can we go back inside now? I’m freezing.’ He shivered. Kat smiled and got up. They walked back to the house, trying to stick to the shadows.

Tribute to the awesomeness of Derek Landy
And Robin.
It's great, Sparky-- keep writing it!!!
That is brilliant Ruby :D
Thanks! <3 :D
That's great Ruber.
I like it. But there are too many people on this blog post at once for me. I think I'll check out WINNERS.
Kk Robin.
That was brilliant Nicole
Ruby, Val V and I are writing together, and I wrote that part, the beginning.
It's her turn now.
Thanks!! :D I just wrote it now, in a fit of inspiration combined with boredom.
Heya Kal
Thanks Kal, I gotta go.

*with
Glomping is hugging. A lot. Tackle-hugging type hugging. I was confused, too, and then I looked it up and have been over using it ever since XD
It's not sexual. It's just like a greeting or something.
That's all I remember. Are you o chat?
I emailed you
*glomp*
Oh dear, imma stick with tackle hug I think better imagery.
Oh btw Derek I think that interviews might be cool or 'top tips to being a tip top dectective' that would be good
Yeah I'm on chat Phoenix
GrrrrRAWR.
Jon woke with a start. Cole had clearly hit him, more than once. His head felt foggy. "Rise and shine." He said face way to close for Jon's liking.
Cole grabbed his bound hands and pushed him up and out of the small room to where Kyle was standing against the wall. "Ready? Good." He said. Jon didn't class him as family. He was to cruel and inhumane. They went along corridors but Jon was just thinking of ways to hurt Kyle. They got to a fancy door with 'Lyle' on it. Coming from inside were the sounds of stirring...
I am poofing for a moment, I'll return quickly.
Oh, I cannot go on since I'm on my iPod.
I emailed back
*Lyle not Kyle ,- stupid spell checker!
Ah, I return!
OMG *dies* write more fast Shadow your story is like a drug to me. HAHA

I'm going to have to leave soon Phoenix, I have to get up tomorrow
IT"S DEDICATED TO SPARKY!
I know she's not here, but it might get me back n her good graces.
Hey. I am already up! It's morning here.
It's almost quarter past eleven here
Oh okay
But.
Myth.
I'm Batman
Why do you have to suck up to Sparky? She's probably bored of punishing you anyway.
It quarter past midday here
Kal, could you check out my poem on my blog? I mentioned it on the previous page...
*turns into a magical purple dragon and flies away*
Yeah sparky does that alot
Well. Guten nacht Robin!
Myth. You hear about that hot air balloon?
Is she gone?!? *looks frantically*
Sparky ripped off my fingers! She kicked me in the nads, and now, thanks to her I'm gonna be joining Justin Bieber and sing soprano for a week!
She kicks everyone there. She has done that twice, no 3 times tonight.
To me.
You are in my good books once again, but you never really weren't.
And Izz, if you think I was angry yesterday...
Hot air balloon? you mean my head?
I can vouch for that...
Oh my God! You just spring up from nowhere, don't you sparky?
*sits in the corner in shadows*
No Myth. The one that crashed in New Zealand this morning. 11 people died.
Sparky. I didn't say you were angry. I said you were probably bored of punishing Myth. There is a difference.
No, I meant yesterday when you thought I was scary.
And I am ever watching.
My blood just froze in my veins. Do you know where?
Oh please be quiet sparky.
I can guess.
Oh yes. But that's just your normal state of being Sparky.
Yeah I do Myth. Just a sec...
