In other news, Molly, your tale of woe concerning the author you have to have brunch with had me laughing. I can't wait to find out how the story ends.
In yet other news, I watched the final Sherlock tonight. Much better than last week's, thank God. A relentless plunge into second-guesses and secret plans. Liked it a LOT.
And in even MORE other news, five minutes ago I crossed the 20,000 word mark on Book 7. I don't think I've ever written this fast before. Looks like I'll have it done on time after all...
And to top it all off, here is some religious humour...
... some existential humour...
... and some cat humour...

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4696 Newer› Newest»HI PEOPLE!
I'm finally defrosted from playing outside! It's really cold....
I'll brb
VAL!!!!
*tackles*
I mean, even though I've been speaking to you...
WHATEVER!!!
*picks up Val and backs away from her scowl*
I prefer the cold to the hot. It’s just… more comfortable, to me.
I'd rather freeze than sweat.
I like sitting in the chest freezer on hot days. I fall asleep. Probably because my body knows that it is freezing to death.
I ice skate.
I was there this morning...
*growls* I hate when this blog isn't working...
Same...
I think it should stay like this. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SUFFER AS I DO!!!
Oh shut up.
*grabs Gerald out of Sparky's head and beats it to a pulp* SHUT. UP. GERALD. You're even stupider that the other Gerald, AKA Thrasher.
I have written something. Be aware, it is quick and I haven’t described much. Shall I post it here or…?
HERE HERE!!!
*rubs head*
Ripping out Gerald hurts my head...
But he should stay out...
HEY DEREK!!! DID YOU GET MY LETTER YET?! It was from Bella Votolato... It has all the weird drawings in it, like the one with all the characters and Caelan's a creepy tree stalking Valkyrie and trying to kill Fletcher and Skulduggery's flying and China's hanging in the corner and other stuff...
I have to go, sorry my visit was short... bye!!!
Damn Val, WHY YOU GO???
:/ Bye, Valkyrie.
Beware, my writing has no plot line… whatsoever.
Sparky! I'm back!
@Acacia, Don't care.
@Johanna, HELLO!!!
GO TO THE STRAIGHT JACKETS!!!
JOHANNA! #Glomps# I don’t know you, but here, have a cup of tea! #Hands cup#
I hope this formats right.
Long silver hair gently brushes the ground, sending a small spur of white dust into the air. The moonlight, soft and calm, illuminates the pale skin of the tall slender girl. She walks tall with pride and grace, not making a sound, but stirring the wind around her. The end of her hair cannot be seen, for it continues thick and heavy until it fades away into the darkness. The girl’s clothes hang off her shoulders and drop straight to the ground. You would think that it supplies a shapeless figure, but in fact, it heightens the slim figure that she holds. Her dress melts into her hair and she bats her frosted eyelashes. Her pale lips quirk upwards into a small grin. Her practically transparent skin glistens with the light. Her white-blue eyes shine bright as her hair is completely drawn back off of her face. She is a frozen princess. She seems quite. She seems alone.
But, a girl walks towards her.
The sun shines behind this girl, illuminating her silhouette more than her colourful features. Her eyes are hidden from sight, so to tell whether her smile is sycophantic, insane, or genuine, isn’t exactly easy. Her fiery short hair is spiked- asylum-ised, if you will. Her lips perk up with the same obscene orange-red that her hair is coloured. Her skin isn’t tanned, but nor is it pale. It isn’t in between either. It’s almost as if it is non-existent. Her clothes fit tightly around her skin, constricting her of all oxygen and nutrients. The girl looks as though she is on fire. Her clothes, her skin, her hair. Her. She is the girl on fire. She is the fire.
The two girls step up to a clearing in the trees. On the side of the girl on fire, the trees have shucked their autumn leaves and they hang dead on the ground. On the side of the frozen princess, the trees are all frozen. The leaves cling to the branches in what seems to be a desperate attempt for warmth.
The girls take a moment and look at each other, and then smile in astonishing unison.
“Solara,” The first girl greets.
“Luna,” The fiery girl says in return, flicking her hair over her shoulder, not that there is a need to.
“It has been a while,” Her lips quirk in a peculiar way, slanting her smile, making it seem like she means to frown.
“Not long enough.” The girl returns the odd smile and bows before looking at her sister.
“Time has treated you well, sister, dear,” says the frozen princess, bowing in turn.
“It hasn’t for you. Say, is your hair going grey?”
“Always the charmer,”
“By nature, I am.” The girl on fire quirks with the raise of an eyebrow, “Tell me, why have you summoned me at such an hour?”
“You say it as if you sleep. Or, as if you need the sleep.”
“I could sleep if I wanted to. I’ve seen the humans do it. It looks enjoyable enough.”
“You don’t see them practice it nearly as much as I do.”
“I’ve seen them eat. They get fat. It looks fun, though.”
The frozen princess raises an eyebrow.
“The eating part, not the fat part,”
“Naturally,”
I like it...
Thank you… it looks a lot longer than I thought it would be, though.
Gotta go, Bye.
BYE!!!
Fairfarren!
And, of course, when I come back momentarily, Sparky's gone...
I wish Derek was on... But since the stupid format of the blog changed, I can't even see the time it is in Ireland. Now I just see the time HERE. Not that I don't already know the time difference and the time there... *kicks Blogger in the face*
I have returned, naturally.
Hmmm... Isn't this an interesting section of my story?
“I’m going to get you, Saturnine,” Ivy said, glaring. “And don’t doubt that I’ll find you. It’ll be simple. So have fun being alive. It may not last for too much longer.”
Ivy began to walk out of the room. She thought she heard something, but she dismissed it as nothing. Then she heard Saturnine’s thought:
I’m going to kill her first.
Ivy dodged to the side as a knife flew past her. She whirled around, just in time to see Saturnine’s fist coming towards her. Ivy ducked underneath it, then threw a fist of her own into Saturnine’s stomach. Saturnine was sent stumbling backwards, and only barely managed to block the kick about to lash into her face.
Saturnine grabbed Ivy’s foot as it was going down and used it to throw Ivy down to the floor. She cried out as Ivy dragged her down with her. Ivy was up first, and she kicked Saturnine in the ribs. She suddenly remembered the usefulness of magic, then bent down and clapped both hands on Saturnine’s head. A burst of dark blue energy crackled from Ivy’s hands and the full force of the attack was in Saturnine’s head.
Saturnine screamed. Ivy used even more energy. She felt hands on her arms and she was yanked off of Saturnine. Ivy spun around to see who had grabbed her. It was Mr Seeker, and he pushed Ivy away from him as fast as possible.
Ivy punched him in the face and he went down, practically unconscious. What a wimp.
She turned back to Saturnine, who was now unconscious from enduring so much pain, and was about to claw her throat open when a shout come from the hall. Ivy stopped moving as someone burst in the door.
“Ivy!” Anomaly Despair shouted as she ran over. “Don’t!”
Ivy was so stunned she couldn’t move. She just stared at Anomaly, trying to make sense of the situation.
“Please, Ivy, don’t,” Anomaly continued, although she wasn’t running or shouting anymore. She was a few steps away from Ivy. “Thank you for not killing her.”
Ivy finally got the courage to speak. “I never said I wasn’t going to.”
“Well then, I ask that you please listen to what I have to say. I don’t think that you need to do this.”
Ivy’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean? She betrayed me, and she even hired me to kill you. You have no reason whatsoever to let her live.”
“Ivy—“ Anomaly started, but Ivy cut her off.
“How the hell do you even know who I am?”
“Well, there’s only one girl I know of as pale as you with black hair and indigo eyes. Those are quite some identifying features. As for how I knew you were going to be here, I saw you walk in because I was waiting around for you. I knew that if you encountered someone who you didn’t end up killing, you would obviously come here.”
Ivy didn’t respond.
“As I was going to say, you don’t need to kill her. You can let her live, Ivy. Have you ever thought of that? For all we know, she might have a family to go to, and she might have people she loves and they love her. Imagine how hard it is to lose someone like that. It wouldn’t even be that that person had died, but that they had been murdered. That makes it even harder.”
Ivy looked up at Anomaly in silence for what seemed like forever, then vanished.
It is Val. It is indeed.
Now, would you like to join the SRAIGHT Jackets, or keep me hanging forever?
1. I don't even know what the Straight Jackets is.
2. It might be a trap to capture me... *looks around suspiciously* YOU HAVE NO PROOF!!!
3. I don't know what position or whatever it is that I'd want.
I like it Val! :)
Now, I must es-cup-aye to the Batmobile so I can go watch Sherlock Holmes 2 again. TEAHEE! :3
Thanks Acacia! It would make more sense if you knew the rest of the story...
*reads section of my story* Wow, my fight scenes sound kind of similar to Derek's :D
Well, I have to go now... BYE!
WHAT, NOOO!!!
I JUST GOT BACK!!!
Hi Valice- I'm pretty sure Death Bringer will be published in September in Germany- so you have a bit to wait, I'm afraid!
I haven't a clue what my German tour plans are yet. I usually get to Germany every year, so hopefully this year will be no different.
Derek, do you receive or read fanmail send to you c/o your publisher?
YAY! I get to comment at last.
My blogger is working again.
20,000 words YAAAAAAAAAY!
Also love those pictures. Most hilarious
SHERLOCK!!! omG! i internally cried at bits :') but t'was amazing!! again, the BBC made a bloody good cliffhanger :P
and yeah...the blog's being wierd :/ first time i've managed to get on at all...
Derek Sherlock is AMAZING but i liked the hound of the baskervilles best!!!
Hi people you can get my book on kindle! its called the alien teacher! its just a preview to whats coming up!! check it out! thanksis
ps its out tomorrow! only 2.50
I love the cat one it's brilliant and the Moses one, that's quite funny.
random funny posts! my favorite !
Those pics were some crak. :)
Dod anyone know that this is my first time commenting on this blog.
I have finished Death Bringer and the rest, only took me 3 weeks mind you and all the short stories in one day when I was finished with all of them. I can't wait t'ill March to read "End of The World". My granny says that I'm going to be an author because we are both madly addicted to books. My mind is everywere because my great granny Maggie -or Magret, whichever you prefer I guess- is very sick. She fell, busted a blood vessel, got 2 stitches, broke her hip on her right side, the docs can't do the op to fix it cuz her heart aint strong enough and she is 91 for god's sake!
Hi derek, dunno if you remember me. i was sort of at the scotland book signing for death bringer. i say sort of because i came in the form of a note, handed to you by my friend as i couldn't make it up that day. you replied "oddball...".
just wanted to say hi and that i found the recepie to those cheese scones that i promised you. /\./\
Thanks a lot Sparky!
Am I correct in thinking that the conversation moves here?
And you guys do have the right to be angry with me if it does...
Are we commenting here now??
I still think that I don't want to participate in a writer war.
Because no one will win.
Sorry I G2G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com/2012/01/whos-started-new-story.html
Please go there. I now have to go read someone's story...
I'll be back.
Bye Rim! Sparky, it's just to see who's story people like best!
I wonder where Star and the llamas have gone?
Star and FreakFan are probably wondering why they can't post.
At least, I think Star is...
And no one will win. On the Internet, no one can win.
Unless you use dirty, crushing tactics.
And if we were to do that, Blogland would become a terrible place.
Okay, no. I cannot read this guys story anymore.
It is WAY too much like SP.
Yeah, Freakfan isn't here - Star was fighting Superllamas from another planet while me and Rim watched. She killed my favourite one called Terry and I was about to kill her.
Who's is it?
Whose not Who's! *face palm*
Negative's.
Did you read my story? Not to be pushy or anything.
And I did like your stories. I stayed up until ten one night trying to finish Blood and Water.
Ha thanks Sparky! Yeah I liked the first one of yours! I'll go read negative's, is it on Collaborative?
No.
It's on his blog.
You did read mine? Because there is waaaaaaay more than the collab effort version. And the last bit was written on my iTouch.
I like the whole 'You have one week to reply' stuff or what ever they say... I'll look at that now. (I'll be reading two things at the same time now. Percy Jackson and that!)
We using this one now?
Yeppers.
Robin, have you written any more of your story yet?
It's all written Sparky, I'm rewriting.
Okay.
*scratches head*
Wanna read Echo? There's more now.
Hey Robin! *hugs*
You're right Sparky, that is LOADS like SP!
It's kinda scary. I stopped reading halfway through chapter two.
YES SPARKY!
I like Echo so much!
SHADOW *hugs*
Yeah I stopped after about the second paragraph!
@Robin You really know someone like Luca! :O
*smiles*
It's 7:00 in the morning on Australia Day. I'm sitting in the living room, wrapped in a blanket because it's cold enough and I can smell that lovely, rich, earthy smell that you get when it's just rained.
And the laugh of the Kookaburras are promising more wet from the sky.
Stopped reading Negative's thing not yours Sparky!
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com/2012/01/whos-started-new-story.html
That's the link to Echo.
I know. My writing is my own, and it's bloody we'll going to stay that way.
I gotta go now! BYE! *hugs*
Bye Shads.
Bye *hugs*
Yes I do know someone like that called Luca
Luca?
Ah a dude in her story, one I know a similar to in real life.
I LOVE ECHO
You do?
*super mega happy face*
OH MY GOD YES! One of my favourites on the web!
Woah, really!?
*hugs Robin*
You are so nice!
Haha, nice to people who deserve it!
AND THAT IS WHY YOU'RE NICE!
You. Are. Awesome.
*nods* I know.
You too :)
I put Skye 13 up bout time I added a new bit
Oh!
I go read that!
Ha if you want
Ha if you want
I have read that!
And commented!
Hehe thank you
IT'S SO GOOD!!!!
I think we may be the best writers in the universe, huh Sparky?
I think we may be the best writers in the universe, huh Sparky?
TWO? *smash laptop*
And Val.
And Derek.
And Shadow.
And YES.
Yeah Val and Shadow are legendary... I suppose we could include Derek
Why, because he isn't from our universe?
Something like that...
And now I can keep writing Echo!
Yeah, I'm writing too
WOOOO WRITING!
I gtg now - English hw
see ya
See ya.
I hate it when I'm here by myself.
And loads of people are on chat.
Why do they like it there?
Anyone here?
Flame?
FLAME?
FLAME!?
DON'T LEAVE ME!!!
What is it with this Goddamn machinery?
ROBIN!!!
*tackles*
STAY.
*nods*
You desperately bored?
YES.
And I can't think of anything for what happens next.
I know what it leads to ultimately, its just the GETTING THERE bit.
Hmm... I can't help you there. Just think, by the end do I want my characters close/distant to eachother and to the reader start foreshadowing subtly or give them the complete opposite and surprise them
...
I got something.
I'm going on what happened in the dream... But there are quite a few differences. Like, Ace didn't exist at all... Sara is one of my friends, Travis is one of my enemies...
And the actual bit I dreamt doesn't come till later.
So it's guesswork. But it's getting somewhere, and you like it.
Which means I must be doing something right.
... I hate computers - they're basically under developed robots
YES SPARKY I. LOVE. YOUR. STORY
Are you a PC or a Mac?
It's red *looks proud*
...?
PC or Mac?
I don't do technology or cars but I'm guessing PC
Does it have an apple on the back?
I'm guessing PC as well.
MACS FOREVER!!!!!!!
I like your new profile pic by the way...
No apple and thanks
Then it's a PC.
...
I wish I had a pic of me and Frog...
You and Frog? Why?
Because she's my best friend...
And she's incredibly photogenic, which I am not. They only good pics of me are the ones with her other people in it as well.
And she's in Switzerland till SATURDAY.
I have to go two months without my best friend, AND THEN SHE GOES TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL.
Stupid Froggy changing schools and going away all holidays...
Aww I hate photgenic people I always look awful next to them. Apart from one time but we all look good so
...
I miss her...
I am SO calling her on Saturday.
I can't talk to people on the phone, I get stuck on what to say and then there's a very awkward silence and I'll hang up or something
That must be embarrassing...
hello people
*punches Flame*
You left.
i didnt realise people were here.
