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.
OMG I AM FIRST??
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!!
DEREK HI!!
LOOK I AM FIRST.
My life is nearly complete now. All there is left to do now is to own all the SP books, signed and read. Then, I could die happy :')
You watching the Rugby??
Derek,
ReplyDeleteIf you go to the side where your 'Archive' of post are and click on the post there, that should sort out the problem, because I was experiencing the same thing. That should work, if not, then I don't know.
Derek I have know idea about the blog or anything but you are such a TEASE! I can't believe your not gonna let even something very tiny slip...just infinitesimal that will become incredibly important...please?? No one else needs to know...just whisper it to me:D
ReplyDeleteAnother thing.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is AWESOME!!
Hello RaisingCain, nice to meet you I'm NJ
ReplyDelete*shakes hand*
So...I was thinking here...your 2012 tour... How about visiting YEOVIL...of course if I've moved by then, then please go to Elgin/Inverness but I'll keep you posted on my movements:)
ReplyDeleteAlso I wanted to ask you about Valkyrie's reflection...Skulduggery says it can't change out of the clothes it's wearing so I was wondering how's it get changed for PE?? And does it evolve to be able to change clothes because it obviously does in the sixth book...
Just my general wonderings! I hope this message actually reaches you, otherwise I'll cry!
Also can Tanith appear it book 7 or if not her...her brother!
Ahh hello NJ, it is good to make your aquaintance!!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm very shocked we're the only people commenting on this post!! I'm actually amazed!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehi guys
ReplyDeleteso yesterday i went to my Forensics competition
and it was really fun........until the bus left without me
I agree TANITH should be in book 7 UNPOSSESSED
ReplyDeleteI would like to know more about her brother too.
Anyway, how're you??
Hey Tori!!
ReplyDelete*hugs*
How're you??
i'm good
ReplyDeleteas long as the bus doesn't leave without me :P
*dances up and down madly* does this mean your reading my comments Derek?? I hope so...I'm new to commenting on the blog and normally it's full with comments by the time I reach it...but not TODAY!!! Everyone's having too much fun in the snow...not me though, there's no snow where I am:( to be honest I don't really care at this precise moment, I'm far to grateful to care!!!! Yay!
ReplyDeletethere's no snow here either :'(
ReplyDeletei'm part happy, part sad
happy because when it does snow my brother and sister like to stick my head in the snow every year
sad because that means we have to go to school
A bus left without you...how mean...you should really have a word with that bus...I would've kicked it!
ReplyDeletemy mom was not happy finding out they left me
ReplyDeleteand it wasn't the bus driver's fault
it was our teacher's fault for just leaving without making sure everyone was on the bus before driving off
I know what you mean...schools far too depressing...but I suppose it's passing the days until September...or you know the future when you might be famous or something!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'll become famous and go back to see that teacher and say "bet you won't leave me behind now"
ReplyDeleteWow, I am near the top!
ReplyDeleteThat'd be amusing!!!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteoh and before i forget
ReplyDeleteyou all should see this video
it was one of the poems that a girl competed with yesterday and it's one of my favorites
it kind of reminds me of Derek Landy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBZkWkkdZA
I'm actually so shocked. The closest I've ever been to the top is around 150 comments. Dream come true! That's quite sad isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHello to Tori, RaisingCain and NJ Maverick
And of course to you Derek :)
Yes, blogger is being a bit odd with comments.
ReplyDeleteHello again.
By the way.
I'm just going to shamelessly plug my SP short story here, because.. I'm tired and will be going to bed afterwards.
Keep up the good work Landy.
And blogland members.
www.writingandallthatentrails.blogspot.com
And go to Grimm Brothers Part I
Please and thank you.
Goodnight from Australia.
Reginald
I know my opinion doesn't really matter, but I'd love for people to EVENTUALLY find out who Darquesse and Lord Vile really are...
ReplyDeleteI just thought I'd say that what with how magically close I am to the top :)
And also that I love you Derek Landy, I've been obsessed with quite a few series of books before, but never as much as I am with yours :)
ReplyDeleteWell goodnight Reginald *waves off to bed* and yes it is slightly annoying having to tiptoe around some people but I don't want to ruin it for them!
ReplyDeleteI am back, sorry.
ReplyDeleteI was away making tea, how very Irish of me!! :P
I have just realised how stalkerish my last comment sounded... Oh dear.
ReplyDeleteHahaha slightly Xanna
ReplyDelete"Run Derek...I think you've got an admirer!!"
Don't worry.
ReplyDeleteWe are all the same here!!
You'll be grand.
And NJ at least there was mill otherwise you would've had to damn those lazy cows :,D
ReplyDeleteHELLOOO IT'S MEEE A WILD BECKYYY.... *headbob*
ReplyDeleteAhem. JUDFHKSHYFYUEGFCIKAWDEYFJS DEREK BLOODY LANDY YOU'RE ACTUALLY SO EVIL. Why couldn't you tell us NEXT year, when it'll be less painful to wait? ...Oh sorry, I forgot, YO' EVIIIL.
It's why we love you.
I was wrong, by the way, Bebo ISN'T broken... it's back again...
And I seriously can't wait for next month, nor September. I'm going to stalk you on tour again. I don't even care where you go. I'll walk if I have to. I HAVE to show you these plushies my mum bought me!
Anywhat, so glad the book's coming along. I'll no doubt have a seizure in Waterstones when it's released.... likeIdoeveryyear.
Guys I'm thinking of writing a fan fiction...what do you think?? Should I do it??
ReplyDeleteI'm a farmers daughter Cain
ReplyDeleteAlthough, we don't have dairy cows, we have beef cattle and sheep, which makes my point invalid.
So I think I'll stop talking about that now :P
BECKY!!!!!!!!! Hey you loontastic person...I may bump into you on his tour then...if my parents suddenly become very nice and actually take me to see Mr Landy!!! They better do...otherwise I'm not speaking to them!
ReplyDelete@Cain yes, you should!!
ReplyDeleteAnd read some other people's fanfics also be careful of what you write, you might spoil some things for people who have not read book 6.
I have though, so don't worry about me.
Ok maybe I will...might make it bout the war and the dead men...VEX... Yeah so i don't ruin the actual story...
ReplyDeleteI've been well and truly VEXED:D sounds fun doesn't it:)
I <3 Vex!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Fletcher!!
I am Fletcher's future wife.
I have a state of eternal dibs on him!!
I have loved him since he arrived into the series!!
Same NJ...everyone said they thought Fletch was REALLY annoying but I just thought he was hilarious...and good looking and I was sad when he disappeared off to Australia...
ReplyDeleteHE BETTER NOT BE STAYING THERE MR LANDY!!!
HE BETTER MEET ME THERE WHILE I AM ON HOLIDAY FALL IN LOVE AND MARRY ME!!
ReplyDeleteTHEN GO BACK TO IRELAND TO LIVE!!
As I am Irish (Unfortunately I am northern Irish, but Irish nonetheless)

ReplyDeleteOh dear NJ :P
ReplyDeleteOh dear NJ :P
ReplyDeleteThe has to be the first time in months that I've made it to the first page of comments, and wasn't in the triple figures.
ReplyDeleteNow to go play Dragon Age some more.
Ooh, can I comment now? First thing, Derek, Bebo is apparently no longer there, which is annoying. Just thought you ought to know.
ReplyDeleteAND OH MY GOD, THAT DOG IS ADORABLE!
Yo peeps!!
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I've been in double digits *pride*
ReplyDeleteDerek! You have to comment to be able to move on to the next page of comments. So I don't see the 'new, newer, newest' thing now but when I publish this comment I will :D
ReplyDeleteRIM *hugs*
ReplyDelete*hugs* wow there's tons of people!!
ReplyDeleteCRYS *hug*
ReplyDeleteYour machinery is the same as mine Crys
hi rim, how r u?
ReplyDeletehi crys!
Cool! So if the short stories are being prepared for people in thiland... does that mean that the next SP books may be making their trip accross the Atlantic soon? Ooh that would be fun!
ReplyDelete-Molly, already feeling that nice chunk of paper in her hands... thats nice...
I'm fine thanks!!! Adoring the snow!!! I've just been skiing!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Bebo's back, ignore that comment! And YAY, I CAN COMMENT AGAIN. This makes me a happy Katy...
ReplyDelete@Robin I <3 Fletcher!!
ReplyDeleteDerek don't you even try killing off Fletcher!!
I am still finding it hard to forgive you for what you did to Ghastly (TANITH) and Bliss.
Kill Fletcher I I will record burning my books and sent it to you!!
I was all for Caelan but then he went all creeper -.- I still hate Fletcher.
ReplyDeletecool rim! glad u like the snow, here we are finally getting a break, its been snowing for like 3 days :P
ReplyDeleteFletcher is amazing he's soo wimpy but really protective..
ReplyDeleteWell then I won't have to worry about you stealing him off me now would I?? No, you can have... The Torment :P
ReplyDeleteNow that's a threat...Derek take heed!!
ReplyDeleteUgh.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather have the creeper.
I love fletcher! I liked Caelan a bit but I didn't like Val cheating on Fletch !
ReplyDeleteI keep having this problem too, Derek! The only thing that makes it go away for me is commenting myself, but that can get pretty annoying.
ReplyDeleteRim, Fletcher is mine and he is not wimpy!! He is the reason Caelan is dead!!
ReplyDeleteVal would have dies had it not been for him, so Shush!!
*cowers at the growing population of the blog* what happened to the quiet old days?
ReplyDeleteI love your name RaisingCain!
ReplyDeleteMy friend is threatening to burn the booms if SP dies, but he's already dead so.. And I won't actually burn my books, I just really don't want Fletcher to die, so much that I am willing to Exaggerate what I would do if he did!!
ReplyDeleteIf you visit the Truro bookshop (i.e. in Cornwall!) on your next tour, not only will it make the whole county very happy but I personally know half the staff there will be absolutely ecstatic. Whenever I go in there to visit, I see all of the staff in the YA, Children's and related (all the cool sections, basically) wearing SP badges and stuff on their work lanyards.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I don't wish him dead. But if Val ends up with Fletcher I will hunt you Derek.
ReplyDeleteHello once again
ReplyDeleteHey Flame,
ReplyDelete@Robin yet aren't getting back together Val is Darquesse!!
Plus I won't allow it, they can hang out, but he is mine!!
Oh NJ! I am watching the rugby! Just read your first comment =P

ReplyDeleteGood NJ. Keep him!
ReplyDeletei gtg, ill try to be on later, bye all *hugs*

I HATE valduggery it's awful!!! And wrong on so many levels!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why people would like it though.
ReplyDeleteI know NJ! First match of the six nations and Brian O' Driscoll is injured and they're still winning :D :D
ReplyDelete@Rim: It is!! It so is it is 2 things that I won't mention. That Val and Caelan commited and Twilight! It is wrong!!
ReplyDeleteI like Twilight!
ReplyDeleteI don't like Valduggery either. But Maybe Darquvile :D =P
ReplyDeleteI am soo happy about Ireland match!!
ReplyDeleteThey keep this up we'll win only what 8mins left.
I like Twilight too!
ReplyDeleteNo! No darqvile either!!!
ReplyDeleteTwilight is alright... Not amazing though.
I don't like the books, they are so badly written, the movies are okay. And I like Jacob. I don't like Edward, he looks demented. JS
ReplyDeleteI know! :D Wales are going downn :D
ReplyDeletenooooo
ReplyDeleteTHE HUNGER GAMES <3
ReplyDeleteNow that is a series worth reading.
I so Agree!!
ReplyDeleteG'WAN IRELAND!!
Wales are losing darts too I think...
ReplyDeleteI think the books are soo much better than the movies. I have a passion of hate against Kristen Stewert. And I love Edward so much!
ReplyDeleteI LOVEE The HG!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my pic!!!
TEAM GALE all the way!!!
@Robin: I am going to read them soon. I just need to finish a few books my friends are INSISTING I read!!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm gonna buy them on Amazon.
You Will love them everyone does!!
ReplyDeleteAnd toast is awful if you get what I mean!!! (ask me if you dont)
I am dying to read hunger games but haven't been to Library/book shop for agessss!
ReplyDeleteI think the books are terrible, the first time you read them their good, but I couldnt read them a second time, it was torture and The Host was GAWD AWEFUL I couldn't get past the first chapter!!
ReplyDeleteKristen Stewart and the incredibly expressionless face. The films disappoint me. I love Twilight books! TEAM EDWARD AND TEAM... GALE, I decided.
ReplyDelete@Rim: What do you mean??
ReplyDeleteNJ THE HOST IS MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME EVER.
ReplyDeleteYay team GALE!!!!!!!!!! *fangirl sigh*
ReplyDeleteToast= the girl on fire + the boy with the bread!!
ReplyDeleteI HATE Peeta!!!!
It's confusing at the start, you get it towards the middle. IT'S BRILLIANT. You can't say it's awful if you have barely attempted to read it
ReplyDeleteHave you guys ever read the Shiver series?
ReplyDeleteNice to meet u! And no I haven't...
ReplyDeleteOh I couldn't get past the first chapter of the Host either!
ReplyDeleteI read them about a year ago. Its about a girl and a 'werewolf' who fall in love. They're good I suppose. Nice to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteOh hey again Alyson - I was gonna get them but I had no money
ReplyDeleteHi Alyson and no I haven't either
ReplyDeleteHas anyone read the glass demon??
ReplyDeleteI recommend it because its a good book!
I haven't read them either. Hi.
ReplyDeleteIf you like Twilight then you will probably like them.
ReplyDeleteYOU PEOPLE *frustration yell*
ReplyDeleteTHE HOST IS SO GOOD.

ReplyDeleteUm. Hi!
IRELAND LOST :(
ReplyDelete(Hunger Games) Catching Fire is my third favourite book ever
ReplyDeleteOMG the HUNGER GAMES and SP are my life!!
ReplyDeleteIreland lost
ReplyDelete*curls up into a ball crying*
I know Crys, Wales won.
ReplyDeleteThey might win the darts too -.-
Hi Taia!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave aby of you ever read or seen any Sherlock Holmes?
ReplyDeleteI like the end of chapter 8 in catching fire my favourite quote is!!
ReplyDelete"He is mine and I am his. Anything else is unthinkable."
I have seen the first Sherlock holmes movie and read like a chapter of one of the books =P
ReplyDeleteWales one by 2 points I mean two!
Hey Taia.
ReplyDeleteHow are you??
Yeah Rim!
ReplyDeleteMy friend keeps telling me to read Sherlock Holmes, I've seen both films but...
Hey Taia!!
ReplyDeleteHey Crystal!
ReplyDeleteHey NJ! I'm fine thanks! You??
The show 'Sherlock' was definately the best version by far.
ReplyDeleteI am literally a HG encyclopaedia!!
ReplyDeleteSherlock was amazing!!! Can't wait till it's on again!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you think he survived the fall?
ReplyDeleteRaising Cain is a film, I just remembered.
ReplyDeleteDepressed.
ReplyDeleteI was happy, then... Then Ireland lost the... The RUGBY *wails*
He didn't he probably faked it and used the ball in the armpit trick to stop his pulse!
ReplyDeleteRim have you watched a film with Jennifer Lawrence in it yet?
ReplyDeleteYeah I have!!!
ReplyDeleteXmen firt class and winters bone!!!
*First class
ReplyDeleteSame two as me! I think she'll be a good Katniss, don't you?
ReplyDeleteYeah my friend thinks I act like Katniss and keeps calling me either Catnip or Hawthorne...
ReplyDeleteJust to be clear I'm NOT a slut I dont keep swapping boys because I can't make up my mind!
ReplyDeleteHAHA.
ReplyDeleteMy brother is exactly like Fletcher from SP. Like scaryily alike. Except he's twelve.
Lol :D
ReplyDeleteMy friends call me Team Jakeward because I sorta love them both :P
Haha.
ReplyDeleteI most like Jasper from Twilight *melts* but from the film. In the books it's Edward all the way
My friends call me by my name. I give nicknames and don't take them, well except my good buddy twin who also calls me twin. Some call me Felicity too which can be annoying
ReplyDelete(Because I'm in a musical and my name in the production is Felicity)
ReplyDeleteWhat musical are you in?
ReplyDeleteIt's one written by our Head of Performing Arts it's called Monster High
ReplyDeletecool.
ReplyDeleteIt's good fun!
