And I've just been going through the comments marked as "Spam"- even though none of them were spam. For some reason, at various times Blogger reckons you might be spamming the comments section and so doesn't show what you've written (which might explain some missing posts). But I was going through it and I found a message from Teena, my Thai translator. Hi Teena! I think translating the short stories is a lovely idea, and you're so good to even offer to do it. You might have to check with the publisher that it's ok to go ahead, but you absolutely have my permission (if you haven't changed your mind by now...)
And, because no short Blog post is complete without a picture, here's a little doggy.

Count on me to say no why?
I had reasoning behind me not wanting to join this.
Ok.
Zafira, if you want to join, just give me a description of your character personality and appearance and such. And I'll somehow string it in.
Yeah same here i still waiting to read dark days sooo i working on my character in a game i play online
I just meant that you are independent. I just gave you a compliment and you glare at me? Brb gotta restart.
She doesn't want her character in anything I write. Because I'm weird according to Val and Sparky.
Actually, that might not be true. I don't know anymore.
*sees Robin and blushes very, VERY hard*
Uh... Hi Robin!
Idk much really
Dear God Sparky what is it?
...
Robin, do you read all the comments?
No, not really *proceeds back to read comments*
......................
It's just after the last time we spoke...
You just lead him to the place you don't want Robin to go.
Wait is Robin a him?
Robin's a girl.
And I do want her to know, I'm just worried about her response...
That feels like forever ago, i don't even know when that was.
Ok.... Whatever.
I think I'll post the link to the page...

*hides*
ooh not good
What am I supposed to see?
What. Happened. To. You?
*balls hands into fist clenches jaw*
*remains hidden, cowering*
Surprise...?
Still? You're still?
This cannot be happening!
*shaking head*
*pokes head out from hiding place, sees Robin facing in the other direction and hides again*
WHAT IS HAPPENING?? I DEMAND AN EXPLANATION!!
You know what?
*unclenches hands and wipes face of all expression*
Good luck.
*proceeds to pace up and down blogland*
Robin is Flame's... Ex...
*sneezes and shrieks as Robin finds me*
*shrugs*
*paces*
...Oh...
Yeah...
*looks at Robin*
Are we cool?
Just don't kill Sparky. You'll feel even worse afterwards.
Oh... ok. this does not concern me.
Sure Sparky. It's not Flame I care about. I wanted to know what changer your mind.
I'll just let you two sort it out.
*turns away and walks a few steps giving the two some room*
*changed
Great!
I don't really know what exactly made me change my mind, I think it started with me realising that if I kept bugging Flame, it would make Blogland sour to me, and I like it here.
And then I discovered that if I wasn't putting the effort into hating him, I really liked his company.
*eyebrows raise*
I never thought I'd see the day...
*still pacing*
*shakes head and storms back* *grabs Gab's arm and pulls him away*
Robin, I still want to be friends.
*takes a file out from under jacket and hands it to Gab*
Your updated profile, sir.
Name: Gabriel Cobalt
Age: 23
Magic: Adept
Adept Specialty: Symbol (Sigil)/Arcane Languages
Gender: Male
Appearance: Gabriel has dark eyes and short black hair. He is skinny and mostly wears a professional suit, even in his everyday life making him appear slightly pompous.
Personality: Gabriel is treacherous and will observe everyone before approaching them. He will get what he needs, then abandon his enemies, sometimes his allies. He is very manipulative.
History: At the age of 20, Gabriel stumbled across a book full of instructions on how to learn symbol magic. Interested at the fantasy, Gabriel read through it and became more interest withy whoever wrote it, even though he didn't actually believe any of it. Unfortunately for him there was no information on the author, not even a name, thus leaving him with no leads on which to take. Though he didn’t believe in anything the book said, Gabriel marvelled at how “cool” it would be to have the kind of things written. In an attempt he knew would not work to get the power inside the book, Gabriel carved a symbol into his hand. As soon as it was completed, power surged through Gabriel and his fists pumped with energy. Within five minutes the symbol had faded, but his power remained and Gabriel stood mobile, amazed. Finally he moved and marvelled at the incredible power he now had at his disposal, the book suddenly becoming clear. He then decided that all this was actually real and realized that it was also dangerous, that there would be other people like him now too. Magic…He decided to keep it a secret. Gabriel then moved away from his parents and got an apartment far away from them in order to protect them. He barricaded himself and became isolated to the outside world while doing nothing but study magic. He eventually found more and more books and became an expert on symbols, which he later renamed “sigils”, and arcane languages magic.
Gabriel soon realized that he was aging slower and assumed that that was because he was learning magic. He got more and more books on other kinds of magic and learned all about the secret magical subculture. He then chose a magic type, Adept, and became a sorcerer. Now 23, Gabriel just collects books to learn more about magic of other people so if he ever gets in a fight with them he will be able to guess what they're moves will be. He has lots of connections and money all anonymous. Gabriel does not make allies easily, partly because he is always suspicious of them. After observing them for long enough, he will then accept them. Gabriel does not fight often but has had to defend himself multiple times.
*nods curtly at Sparky* Yeah
*still pacing*
Really?
Thanks!
*is worried about the pacing*
Doesn't sound like me but acceptable.
I don't use the word "cool". I use a vast array of words. Even when I was young.
I couldn't think of anyuthing better...but still, it's updated. You happy with it?
*anything
*nods at Sparky whilst pacing*
Ah, pacing, I do this irl in situations like this, or wander aimlessly around, it works you know.
*mutters to self*
Yes, but WHY are you pacing now?
Must walk the dog. I'll be back soon.
*dog and leash appears out of no where* *walks off*
[[Be back soon]]
It's acceptable.
Why?
Why do you think I'm pacing Sparky?
Night all!
Yes, I know why, but I want to know specifically WHAT.
Specifically what?
Hmm... If I stop I'm not sure whether I'm going to hug you or punch you in the face *cheerful smile* I'm not taking chances
SPARKY!
Oh dear God
Val, someone who might be able to talk some sense
Hello Val!
Robin just found out!
Robin, if you want to punch me in the face, go ahead.
When have those words ever come together in a sentence
What words?
SPARKY I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING AWESOME.
*drumroll*
A poem of mine is being published! In a book! And I might win $1,000 for it! And if I get that, I CAN GO TO IRELAND!
What I said about Val.
I'm pacing, the point is I don't punch you. If I did it would kind of defeat the object.
NICE STUFF VAL!!!
*hugs her*
You can still punch me if you want.
I'm serious though! I'm a finalist in a competition! An INTERNATIONAL competition!
Well done Val. Your very own poem in your very own book.
Not gonna happen. *pacing*
Congrats Val
What is your poem about?
*smiling*
O>O
Thanks
Today, I went to my sisters' school (which is where I went to elementary school last year), and I saw a bunch of people reading while they were waiting to be picked up by their parents. And what were they reading?
SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT: SCEPTER OF THE ANCIENTS.
It was awesome.
My poem is about someone who died. Wanna read it?
Nice.
YES I WANNA READ IT!!!
I'll brb
Sparky, you've read it before! But you can read it again :)
I have...?
Again!
Bye. Gotta go.
*comes back into view* *dog vanishes*
What'd I miss?
I wanna read your poem!!
Oh, wow. Good job,Val!
Here it is:
I sit up late at night,
Then slowly turn on the light.
Because my nightmares have waken me,
And my dark thoughts have shaken me.
I hear a sound,
That is perhaps underground.
I sit in fear,
Hoping tragedy is no where near,
And unknowingly await,
My terrible fate.
The sound is on the stairs,
Now near the dining room chairs.
It's in the hall,
Close by my left wall.
Finally at my door,
Where I realise it's something more.
It's a ghost,
And I know I'm toast.
But it's all just a memory,
And nothing can harm me,
Because it's all in my head,
And I'm already dead.
I also have awesome news. Not as good as Val's but cool all the same.
I'm going to Ireland.
This year!
I STILL LOVE IT!!!
Hello
You get to go to Ireland this year?! I have to wait till next year, at the very least! That is, of course, if I don't win this competition. But I have a really good chance!
That is all.
Wow. That is really good. I love it!!
Good poem Val
*sits on the floor*
Wait, if I have a piece of writing being published, this means I'm one step closer to being an author. YAY!
Hope you win, Val.
Are you okay Robin?
*looks thoughtful* I never wanted to be an author, I just like to write
*nods* mhmm
Oh, I need to ask you too, Val.
Nobody, Eve, Gabriel and Izz have all given me one of their characters and I'm wrriting a book with all of them in it. You wanna put in a character?
*writing
Happy?
Accepting?
Annoyed?
I'm not really sure. It's odd really. I still want to be friends with you if that helps.
Then I'm happy, but worried.
No, I don't want to contribute a character. I need all my characters.
Val. E-mail.
*eyes shift towards Mist and back at Val*
Ok. Actually, I think that's best. There are already too many characters I need to find a way to bring together.
By the way, do you still not like me, Val? Because I don't know why the hell I was like that the other day. But that's not me.
*strumming guitar*
I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go.
When all the shadows almost killed you're light.
I remember you said don't leave me here alone.
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight.
Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
You'll be alright
no one can hurt you now
come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
What song is that?
Safe and Sound Taylor Swift
THE HUNGER GAMES
Not like you? Well, I don't hate you. But I still don't exactly like you. Don't take that too personally, though, because it takes a lot for me to like someone. I dislike/hate almost everyone, so... Yeah.
1st

Why isn't this working?!
Oh, good. 1st!

*more guitar*
Don't you dare look out your window darling everything's on fire.
The war outside our door keeps raging on.
Hold on to this lullaby.
Even when the music's gone.
Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
You'll be alright
no one can hurt you now
come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
I got 1st. Yayz~
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Take a gander
Wait, what?
WHY AM I NOT FIRST ANYMORE?!
...
I'll be back...
Mine are vanishing too...
Haha how very odd.
They're staying now!
Damn. Oh well, those are the supposed dedications as my comments are dying...
I tried to draw Valkyrie from the cover of Dark Days.
Gotta gom, BYE!!!
How'd it go Johanna?
Bye!
Woah, why is your comment gone?!
Well, you got first. I saw it.
SPARKY DON'T GO! STAY HERE!
Hello again guys.
*paces round the room*
My drawing is okay. I'll try and get it as my profile picture in a sec. Gimme ten minutes.
Why you pacing?
I've been pacing a lot today.
Okay!
*laughs* My chapter is named 'Attack of the Cucumbers'
Thanks Val.
*mutters something about the comments of the blog screwing up*
Anyway, you get a dedication too.
Bye Sparky.
Do I? Okay then...
I dedicate it to whoever picked my poem to be entered into the final competition of whatever competitions it has got into. Thank you, person who chose my poem, thank you.
Haha. xD
Speaking of which, I really hope you win that.
...Did I say that already?
You may have said it, but I appreciate you saying it again.
Hello?
I'm just loading my picture on my profile...
Imma go bye!
Ok. I mean it anyway.
By the way, are you still angry at me? Well actually not angry, but do you still think I'm annoying?
Bye Robin!
Okay, my drawing should be my profile picture...
There we go!
*shrugs* I think almost everyone is annoying. And yes, you are on that list, but not as much as before. But don't think that means I've changed my mind completely - that takes quite a while to happen. But I can tolerate you, can't I? I haven't threatened to kill you so far. I haven't punched you in the face. So you're fine. For now.
Is anyone on?
Nice Johanna! I'll try and show you guys a picture of my Skulduggery drawing. But first I need to take a picture...
Am I annoying.
I think my sister is annoying.
Everyone's annoying to me. Does that answer the question?
No, Gab, you're not.
But your name is. I keep thinking you're a girl...
Thank you Val, for saying 'nice' to my picture. It's my first proper one and I am very proud of it.
I also though t your name was a girl name... Does that mean I'm dumb???
Damn it. Gabriel Cobalt. Just call me Gabriel.
I want to see Val's picture.
No, you are Gab.
Hi people. Again.

Sorry. Not doing my laps until 3o'clock. Wrong time!!!
Wow, that's good, Val.
Hi Nix!
Hello again...

Bye!
Actually, my picture took about... A week?
SPARKY! HELLO!
