Two things...

First of all, is everyone else having trouble going beyond the first page of Comments, or is it just me? For some reason I can't find any "Next page" button...

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.

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...

Sparky Braginski said...

Yo Izz.

*yawns*

Oh yeah...

*tackles*

Izz said...

*laughs*

Hey. Isn't johanna the weapons manufacturer?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey Izz...

LONDON CALLING, TO THE ZOMBIES OF DEATH!

Nixion Strange said...

Ok, this is the last person
Izz, would you like to add a character to my story. It's a limited time offer

Nixion Strange said...

and what are the zombies of death? Do we get to kill things?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It's a song. "London Calling". It's awesome.

Izz said...

Quit holding out. And draw another breath!

That song is epic.

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Kali Nole

Looks 22, but really 62

Adept-she can turn her hand into guns, daggers and small bombs which she can throw.

Female

Shoulder length, wavy gold-coloured hair. Small nose, brown eyes and red lips.

Happy, vicious in fights, and good sense of humour.

Born in Australia and lived on a farm. Her parents were mages so she was born with magic at her fingertips. Moved to London when she was 30. Then moved to Ireland because london was to busy.

Does she sound alright?

Nixion Strange said...

oh, i thought it was that story Sparky was writing, where zombie's are everywhere in londen

Nixion Strange said...

and cool Johanna

Nixion Strange said...

Sparky... is it okay if i don't use your chaaracter in my story?

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

I forgot to add, she wears knee high black lace up boots, black jeans, a deep purple tunic and a purple ans silver coat.

Izz said...

hmmm.

What's the story about Nobody?

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Alright, gotta go. I need to have lunch

Nixion Strange said...

i really don't know. We kill stuff, but that all i know. In fact, i think i have to many character's anyway. Never mind. Unless you really want to

Nixion Strange said...

bye johanna!

Izz said...

Nice character Jo.

Ok. I'll give it a miss. I'll read it though.

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

Zathract Mist said...

You know Lyra Blue? The profile you sent me?

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

Alright. Me and you are killing zombies right now.

Izz said...

*sigh*
I gotta go. Lunchtime.

I believe we shall work very closely to ensure they are sufficently armed.

Servus!

Nixion Strange said...

Never mind

Bye Izz!!

Sparky Braginski said...

*growls*

THAT'S IT!

I AM WRITING THE IT OF ECHO I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT, THEN CONTINUING FROM WHERE I'M UP TO!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Izz..:(

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Uh... Sparky, that doesn't make much sense...


*thinks* I wonder how Mumzy would respond if I asked about Skype...

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Definatly Izz. Very closely.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*is so tempted to correct Johanna's spelling on 'definitely'*

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...

Yep. I can never get it right!

Sparky Braginski said...

*looks at Val*

It will to you when I'm finished.

There's this bit that I've thought over a hundred times but I haven't gotten far enough in to write it yet.

So I'm writing it now.

Zathract Mist said...

Gtg. Be back later.

Byee~

Nixion Strange said...

bye Mist, i wanna see your story.

Nixion Strange said...

i know i said id stop talking about the story, but i just finished chapter 1

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*steals a slice of cheese from the kitchen*

Nixion Strange said...

brb

Nixion Strange said...

why is everyone so quiet?

Sparky Braginski said...

Writing.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Trying to get a better profile pic.

Nixion Strange said...

yeah, i know why you're quiet, but everyone else?

Sparky Braginski said...

Yo Val, you still here?

Nixion Strange said...

okay, but what about Johanna?

Sparky Braginski said...

Jo left.

VAL E-MAIL!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

Wait, no she didn't!

Sparky Braginski said...

brb.

Nixion Strange said...

i dunno what she's doing

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

What? Yeah, I'm still here. Sort of.

Sparky Braginski said...

BACK!

Nixion Strange said...

im writing and trying to talk to you people at the same time.

Nixion Strange said...

it's very hard

Sparky Braginski said...

Gotta go.

Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

bye
i have to go soon as well.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sparky that was cool! Too bad there wasn't anyone dead yet...

Nixion Strange said...

hey, see if you can spot anything wrong with the picture

http://i.imgur.com/ydfcO.gif

Nixion Strange said...

never mind

Bye!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hmm... I'm testng this photo...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Wow, you can hardly even see me in it... But that's just what I look like after trying desperately to manage to take a decent photo, but failing so many times I refused to even look at my camera and decided to read Death Bringer.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Nix!

Sparky Braginski said...

I like the picture!

Sparky Braginski said...

The picture is making me laugh REALLY hard, but it looks nice!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Thanks! The reason its backwards is because I was trying to use the mirror to help me... But, in the end, I wasn't even LOOKING in the mirror or at the camera, as I said. I just starting reading about the Requiem Ball instead.

Sparky Braginski said...

*laughs*

Nice!

Sparky Braginski said...

Did you like Danielle's last sentence?

Did you?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*thinks* Maybe it's terrible because I didn't have an actual CAMERA. I had a crappy old cell phone that I hate.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, yes I did.

Sparky Braginski said...

*grins mischievously*

I've been wanting to write this for days.

Sparky Braginski said...

Still going, by the way.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I want to write about Zinnia Batty (Amanda's character) SO badly, but I can't until the ball thing, because Zinnia is going to land on top of Audacious during that.

Sparky Braginski said...

...

It's annoying wanting to write about something specific in a story, because you have to write up to it first.

The bit I sent you is from quite a bit further than I've written, so if it feels like the characters are a bit more chummy than they used to be, that's why.

Nixion Strange said...

im back

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I can't even write up the part with Zinnia because I need to figure out if Anomaly's going to be there and how they're going to kill/attack those vampires and how... *keeps babbling about it*

Nixion Strange said...

>sigh<
Why does everyone hate me?

Sparky Braginski said...

Sparky Braginski said...

STUPID '404 NOT FOUND' PAGE!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Yesss!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hmmm... Oh, I figured out how to flip this photo so it isn't backwards! *goes to fix it*

Nixion Strange said...

I dedicate this page to:

The golden god, keep writing
Skulduggery Pleasant, he is awesome
My friends-
Sparky
Val
Gabriel
Mist
IzzFizz
Eve the Rock
And anynoe else i missed

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Thanks Nix


Whoohoo! I fixed it! I think!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes! The wall isn't backwards anymore!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*thinks*

SPARKY, FINISH YOUR FREAKING ZOMBIE STORY!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

*scowls at Val*

No.

Because I have no idea what to do next.

You aren't going to make me keep writing it, because I refuse to think about it till I've got the bit of Echo in a word document.

So *sticks tongue out at Val* to you.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*smacks her in the face with blue energy ball*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

What happens next is they go to the Prime Minister!

Sparky Braginski said...

*stumbles backwards and trips over feet*

*lands on ground and grunts*

*hits ground with my fist making Val fly off her feet*

Nixion Strange said...

read that part

Sparky Braginski said...

Nixion Strange said...

*Watches without making a move to stop the fight*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*calls Anomaly and Audacious and Zinnia for back up* *throws more blue energy, then electrocutes Sparky*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That was for shocking me.

Sparky Braginski said...

VAL, I ALREADY POSTED THE NEXT BIT YOU MORON!!!

http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/continuation-of-short-story.html#comment-form

SEE!?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

TOO BAD! I SAID I ATTACKED YOU FOR SHOCKING ME!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*can't help but going to read story*

Nixion Strange said...

hey, you know what i just realised? Flame dosen't follow your blog

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes he does.

Nixion Strange said...

i looked at the members thing at the side, and he's not there

Sparky Braginski said...

'Phoenix Nightslayer'

That's Flame.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*bursts out laughing* Man, I have some temper issues!

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes you do.

Nixion Strange said...

he changed his name AGAIN?!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I also have an issue with pulling heads off...

Nixion Strange said...

dosen't matter
do you people read any other good books besides SP?

Sparky Braginski said...

It was originally Flame Phoenix, then Phoenix Nightslayer, then Nix Willows, and now it's Flame again.

Sparky Braginski said...

No.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Nope.

Nixion Strange said...

uhhh

and i have a problem with bevers.
i just want to kick them

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I want to kick EVERYTHING. *kicks the wall*

Nixion Strange said...

seriously? Percy Jackson? Heros Of Olympus? Kane Chronicles? Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flammel?

Sparky Braginski said...

Why Val?

Nixion Strange said...

i have over a hundred books in my bookcase

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Because I love to kick things. Kicking things is fun. For example, this summer, I was helping do work in the forest outside Kienan's house with my grandpa. So, we needed a bucket. But all the buckets were stuck together, and my grandpa said, "Okay, Bella, here's a quiz. What do you do now?" My response was, "Well, generally, I'd kick it." He paused. "Why on earth would you do that?" And I said, "Because kicking is fun. I love to kick things. And people."

Sparky Braginski said...

Nice.

That's funny.

Nixion Strange said...

and only 6 of them are Skulduggery Pleasant

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Only six? I have 17 Skulduggery books with me, but 19 in all...

Nixion Strange said...

huh? how does that work?

Sparky Braginski said...

*glowers at Val*

Less. Important.

Nixion Strange said...

less important then what?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

'Why'd you do that!?' Ivy yelled. Sparky scowled.
'We do not pull our friends heads off,' Sparky said. Ivy frowned.
'How could you tell?'
'You gripped Hayley's hair. We do not pull our friends heads off.'Sparky scolded. Ivy crossed her arms and sulked. Sparky put her head in her hands.


I think that part's so hilarious... And the sulking? I do that all the time! XD

Sparky Braginski said...

Every time I read that bit I laugh uncontrollably.

Nixion Strange said...

how does one have 19 SP books

Sparky Braginski said...

BRB!!!!!!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

So do I! Just the fact that you have to literally dive at me to get me off her is hilarious, but the fact you have to scold me? That makes me laugh so hard!

Rosella Embers said...

Hello?

Nixion Strange said...

hi rosella

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

One has 19 Skulduggery books when they have 4 of book 1, 3 of Playing with Fire, 4 of the Faceless Ones, 4 of Dark Days, 2 of Mortal Coil, and 2 of Death Bringer.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hi Rosella!

Rosella Embers said...

Hey Nixon and Valkyrie! How are you?

Nixion Strange said...

you know, i think we'll run out of pages to talk on by tomorrow

Rosella Embers said...

(If not sooner)

Nixion Strange said...

WHY?! WHY WOULD YOU HAVE THAT MANY COPIES OF THE SAME BOOK?!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

BECAUSE I LOVE THE BOOK SO MUCH! Besides, they don't all have the same cover! I mean, yeah, some of them do, but not all of them!

Nixion Strange said...

are any signed?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

6 of them are. They're the ones Derek sent me.

Nixion Strange said...

6?! i don't have any signed, and you have 6?! and why would he send them to you?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Didn't you hear about the winners for the Friend Gets Friend competition?! I was one of them because of the party I had for Derek!

Nixion Strange said...

Wait, what was that comp again? i forget

Nixion Strange said...

hi sparky. Do you have any singed books

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HI SPARKY! Can you send me the entire zombie story?


The competition from October....

Rosella Embers said...

Even though I did not stay long, I have to go now. See you later! *hugs all*

Nixion Strange said...

bye Rosella
and im checking it now val

Sparky Braginski said...

*groans*

I haven't finished it yet!

My copy of Dark Days is signed.

Nixion Strange said...

I HATE ALL OF YOU! I DON'T HAVE ONE SIGNED BOOK, AND MY COPY OF PLAYING WITH FIRE IS FALLING APART!

Sparky Braginski said...

MY COPY OF PLAYING WITH FIRE AND SCEPTRE OF THE ANCIENTS IS FALLING APART.

Nixion Strange said...

really? you call it sceptre of the acients? mine just says Skulduggery Pleasant

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

NONE OF MINE ARE FALLING APART BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET THEM!

But I DID ruin every copy in my school's library last year, because I read them so often... And there's a LOT of copies there...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I have two Scepter of the Ancients and two regular Skulduggery Pleasant ones.

And Sparky, I mean send me what you've written already.

Nixion Strange said...

my school library dosen't have sp

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh!!!

I can do that.

If you send me all of the Ivy story.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Mine did because the first book was voted on as one of the best 20 books for kids to read. That's how I heard about it in the first place.

THANK YOU WHOEVER CHOOSES THOSE THINGS! I AM A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PERSON BECAUSE OF THEM!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Like, even what I haven't finshed of Chapter Six too?

Nixion Strange said...

i just happened to see the first two at Borders, and I bought them

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Ok. I'll send it now.

Sparky Braginski said...

YAY!

I'll send the zombie one back.

Nixion Strange said...

Johanna Remmus (The Mad One) said...
