New Zealand- from (roughly) the 8th to the 11th of August, I shall be visiting:
Auckland
Wellington
Christchurch
Australia- from (roughly) the 12th to the 21st, I shall be visiting:
Brisbane
Sydney
Melbourne
Adelaide
Perth
I know we have a few readers in Christchurch who read this blog, so I'm glad to be able to visit after missing out last time around. And I know most of you in Adelaide and Perth were CONVINCED I wasn't going to get anywhere near you (especially you guys in Perth) so, y'know... this tour's for you!
And now, because I realised whatever picture I post here also pops up on the Facebook page, I shall post another picture of Gina Carano. Because she's lovely.
And another of Ronda Rousey, keeping the "hand-wrap" theme going...
What do you mean they have nothing to do with what I've just posted?

YES! HE'S COMING TO MELBOURNE!!!
*hi-fives everyone thats around*
Go Aus!!!
MELBOURNE
I don't think Derek is going to talk this time...
MELBOUNRE
Derek noticed Perth and Adelaide
ANOTHER reason why he is a EPIC author
Derek, are you here??
or are you just laughing at our comments saying of course im epic??
*CELEBRATING DANCE*
YAY!!!
Derek, could you please say something to this?
I just lost a pet that was very dear to me. My cat. Have you ever lost a pet? What did you do? If you haven't, what would you do if you lost one of your pets?
Aw. Oh well.
I wonder where he's going in Adelaide....where does he normally go for book signings? Book shops?
Or maybe he's going to the festival theatre.... *giant shiny eyes for no reason*
Derek, you are a bloody awesome man
just bloody awesome
when are you going to announce the winners of the awesomeness comp??
book stores...
i think he is going to come to Westbooks
i like that shop
its has a Skulduggery in the shop window
an epic store...
*sigh* i wish Derek would come here and talk to us.
anyways, i gtg. bye!
bye Fire!!
yeah, Westbooks has a Skulduggery in the window
i want to go steal it
Bye Fire!
Miss Cain, the winners won't be announced here. Itt be on the SP site.
I have no idea where he's going to come
Fed squre? The only book shop is Dymocks, so...
I dunno, mayeb you want to come to Dymocks. There's not much room for a SP mob, so I think you'd be coming to Fed Square
Bye Fire!
He's go somewhere space, like Rundle Mall. Or something.
true as Nix
except ive never been to Melbourne so i have NO idea
Eve, he also might announce it on his blog AS WELL AS the site
cant wait!!
*does awkward smile*
*spacey
No, he probably won't.
He doesn't mention things much on his blog
I'm still waiting for that other thing, with the meet Derek.
Yeah, he probably won't
Westbooks has an area in the corner with HEAPS of space so that would probably be the place
YAY!!
oh well
at least it will be on the site
Yeah, it might be on the site. It isn't always, esecpially not recently
Maybe I'll get an email telling me I've won
i hate waiting
*sighs*
When was it going to be on the site, Again?
I think the 29th?
*checks email*
no mail
dammit
the 29th??
WHERE did it say that??
14.The winner will be notified by email by Friday 22nd June 2012.
It doesn't say that they'll let everyone know
Here we are
17.You can find out who won by sending a stamped addressed envelope to Skulduggery short story competition, Marketing Dept, HarperCollins Children’s Book, 77-85 Fulham Palace Road, London W6 8JB or send an email to kids.marketing@harpercollins.co.uk with ‘Skulduggery short story competition’ in the subject bar after Friday 22nd June.
So they won't anounce it
Yeah, but the story will be on the site
4.One winner and five runners up will have their stories listed on www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk – there is no agreement that the winner’s story will be published physically or an ebook.
So even if 10 people win, only 6 will get their stories shown
That's weird...
damn
thats stupid
hello??

NOOOOOOOOOO
i dont think anyone is here
dammit
Cool picture/word :)
Yay!!!
im not alone in the wide universe of Blogland!
Sorry, I was just finishing some homework. Shhhhh, don't tell anyone!!!&
The wide universe of blogland is not that wide
You know, we don't really use the space anymore
*shrugs*
im still a bit new so i might say stuff that means NOTHING at all
or just random stuff
If you had been here longer, you would get what I'm saying. See, there's a lake here, a forest there, a volcano somewhere around here...we don't appreciate the surroundings anymore. Cant say I miss it terribly.
And we all say things that mean nothing at all
*panda*
Adelaide has a thing for words that are the same backwards. Let's see:
Glenelg
Rachael Leahcar
Hannah (lots of em)
Anna (lots of them too)
Oh, and how can I forget?
EVE!
so true Eve
(see, i spelt your name backwards)
Derek, I can't WAIT for you to come to Adelaide!!!! I can't wait to meet you!!!!! Do you sign ANYTHING, or just books?
I wonder if I can bring a t shirt for him to sign... :P
Or maybe a...a.... A....hmm....
Oh! I know! He can sign my socks!!!
And I STILL want to know if you accept hugs, Mr. Landy!
i want him to sign all my SP and....
I don't WANNA go to school! I wanna stay here and be excited about the tour!
something cool
that i have to think of
yeah, i know Eve
I'll bring Mortal Coil and Death Bringer for him to sign xD
i will bring ALL of them then decide there
then i will bring something like...
MY NOTEBOOK!!!
on the back of my notebook im getting people to sign it
(have no idea why)
and that would be AWESOME having the Golden God's signature ON MY NOTEBOOK!!!
OH MY GOD
yes Eve??
Eve??
*panda*
:O
:P
bbs
not too long hopefully...
bye bye!
I don't want to go to school. Have you ever dreamed of sleeping for 24 hours?
Bye Miss Cain!
Oh, and Derek, so you can see this
Zafira says hi!!!
I mean, *clears throat*
DEREK!!! DEREK LANDY!! ZAFIRA SAYS HELLO!
I have to go now, sorry Miss Cain
I MIIIIIGHT be back, but just in case
Goodnight blogland! and THANK YOU, Derek, for coming to Adelaide!! Can't wait to see you there! I'll be the one called Eve Jackson! Yeah....
Bye!
Is anyone here??
I don't like being alone on Blogland...
Hi Derek because I KNOW your reading this
Damn, I'm alone
Msd
Miss Cain??
You better respond soon or I'll fall asleep
I did it before
Ill give you 60 secomds
Fine...I'll leave then.... *starts to fade*
Wait. Questions for Derek:
1. Do you accept hugs???
2. What do you sign besides books? Do you sign mandarins?
3. Do you remember me?
4. Are you actually reading those competition entries for the Sadistica Tortura stories?
Sorry, was reading Nix and Mist
Canberra's right between Sydney and Melbourne you could totally stop there! :( I guess you don't have time... oh well.. almost :'(
No one at all? Not anyone hiding in the shadows? Possibly a griffin?
Canberra's right between Sydney and Melbourne you could totally stop there! :( I guess you don't have time... oh well.. almost :'(
Eve, IM HERE!!
Hi Miss Cain!
Aw, Rowena...im really sorry... :(
Im sad now :(
YOU'RE HERE!
Canberra...
Hel, poor Hel
Oh no Rowenna
I know im here
She lives in Canberra? Aw. :(
Yeah, Hel won't be happy...
Maybe she can fly to Sydney
Nananana
It's my grandmas birthday today and I'm giving her her care tomorrow
It has SP sayings in it so i have to explain why 'Doors are for people with no imagination', who Derek Landy is, who Skulduggery Pleasant is
Joy
O.o oh wells.
Derek will you talk to us? The Blog is the closest some of us get to actually talk to you....
*card
Hahahahahaha
She'll love it xD
Hi Zaf!!
Zafira, where do you live?
I know
XD
Hi!!!
And America.
Derek
PLEASE come on
That'd make my day it would and it only just started as i woke up bout 10 minutes ago
Ah, okay
You know, if Derek talked here all the time, it wouldn't be a special thing
I'm thinking of making myself a name tag saying Miss Cain then wearing it when I go see Derek
He has said hi to me so maybe he will remember me
True but hey i usually am asleep or eating or in school when he comments or posts. I am out of school so I guess i got lucky
I'm in school when it's about 1am in Ireland so I'm normally here when Derek posts
I think
Im in school during the afternoon in Ireland and dont get home til evening. So, being off of school is helpful. I just woke up 2 something in the afternoon Irish time sooo
*does happy dance*
I can't wait for Derek to come to Perth!!!!
It's nine hours difference from Perth
Hey I'm hoping eventually I'll meet him....so far the closest I get is the Blog and the letter my friends and I wrote. We actually sent it I think Friday. Yes, Friday. So there's something I did do.
If I ever got to meet Derek, well I'd have a nametag that says Zafira Kerias.
Im also gonna get Derek to sign my iPad and show him some art I made on my iPad
It's of Darquesse and it's awesome
ohmigod.... he's coming to perth... he's coming to perth... *deep breathing*
and i finally worked out how to make comments on this site thing. feeling very chuffed with myself.
he's coming to perth... he's coming to perth...
Dereks signature on my iPad...
Sweet
Hi Livi!!
OMGG, you live in Perth!!
*hi fives Livi*
Livi, I read your profile
You were born on October 14th!?
Me too!!
hey there:)
hey everyone, actually.
Im the lonely American !!! Lol. Im on my iPad now. Im cursing myself. I did the Ten Times The Awesome contest. I had it all written my cousin who is an author read it and loved it. We go to upload it. 6 hours!!!! It refused to upload. I used Word! D:
ah... ur like my twin or something :)
but i wrote that like a year ago. not that my birthday's changed or anything
oh, and *returns high five*
Livi!!
I live in Perth too AND i was born on October 14th
*smiles weirdly*
Are you going to meet Derek??
oh i did the ten-times-the-awesome-story thing. mine wouldn't upload either on the first three tries. then i unticked the box that said 'send me stuff from the publisher' and it sent. go figure.
the internet is a confusing place.
I tried about 3 times too
Stupid Internet...
Lol. Keep me in mind when you guys see Derek :)
I probably would faint if he ever came to Pennsylvania. The Poconos are epic..meh. I try I do. And its where the Minions i recruted are from.
yeah, definitely gonna go see him. though i don't know where he'll be. and i've never met an author before. be it'll be WEIRD. but all good things in life are weird. :)
Eve, are you still here??
The closest I've got to meeting an author was....
Never except when he said hi to me on Blogland
THAT was cool
Mine tried 7 times nothing. Nobody could get it to work.
Maybe there will be another contest on the Blog...THAT if Ameriminions can, I will do. I swear.
Hi Nixion,
I've lost a few pets over the years, and I wish I knew the best way to deal with it, but I don't. I'm dreading the day my German Shepherd dies- she's getting on in years and it can't be long now- because I love this dog more than I love some humans...
And my cats? If anything happened to my cats I'd be devastated. So I know exactly how you feel- but there's not a whole lot I can say that'd make things any better.
Nightly Willow- I don't know how likely a trip to York will be this year...! My publicists are still deciding on where I'll be going, so I'll know for sure on Friday.
Eve- depending on the queue and the amount of time I have, I'll sign anything! Some events on this tour are going to be HORRENDOUSLY tight, and I might only be able to sign one book per person in order to get through everyone. When I have details as to what the tight events might be, I'll post 'em. Hopefully, though, I'll be able to sign whatever you bring!
I accept SOME hugs (again, depends on time and queue!)
And I haven't been sent the Sadistica Tortura entries yet! Oh what a name...!
Hi Zafira!
Miss Cain- a name tag mightn't be a bad idea!
Yeah, I hope there will be an ANOTHER contest
I like contests
Hi Derek!!!
HI DEREK!!!!!!!
Derek, don't forget Livi!!!
A name tag it will be then
:D
Derek, you made my day, you just did. *very very very happy Minion*
I lost a cat named Smokey. :( he was Russian Blue. Though he was funny.
Oh and i got the link for the spooning to new level :D
I lost my dog last year, I stayed home because I couldn't stop crying
Her name was Millie
She was the best dog ever
I still miss her
The post was the one labled Tribute RP posted about half hour ago by Erin (me)
http://www.facebook.com/RoleplayOfTheHungerGames
Does that work?
Smokey died in August I remember. I could NOT stop crying. He hated me but soon loved me and then, he died, he was old but....
Hi Livi!
Miss Cain, losing pets is the worst.
Zafira, I literally have NO Idea what you're talking about.
It works
:)
Even the next day when I went back to school I still cried when no one was looking
Oooh first post
I RULE!!!!!!!!!!
I RULE!!!!!!!!!!
It was 2 very sad days
I still cried for about a week before I went to sleep after she died
ahem.
Slightly undignified.
I figured Derek lol. Basically I remember you threatened the Ameriminions with spoons. So the link I posted is the page I admin. well, I threatened with penguins and you gotta give them spoons or they spoon you to death. Its a Roleplay.
I hope you arent too confused.
Derek, are you going to dedicate?
Go Derek!!!!!!
Make sure you dedicate lol.
I dedicate this page to all the pets we've lost.
Please don't return for the grave and attack us as zombie-pets. That would be weird.
Being threatened with spoons is not THAT scary
But being threatened with forks
Thats a different story...
That just reminded me of Scapegrace
DEREK
DEREK, IT'S ME :D
Good ded Derek!
