Dalkey! And Forums!

For all you readers in Dublin/Wicklow, I'm going to be appearing at the Dalkey Book Festival this Sunday at 12 PM...

And does anyone know what happened to the Skulduggery Forums? It seems to have been replaced by a... web-sitey... thing...

And because I have nothing further to add, here are two well-timed photos...

I really didn't get to experience the whole 'recovery' thing with him, it just finished up too quickly

Me: Hm? Oh, it ended. :/

Zathract Mist said...

Exactly! L hasn't read the books!
No spoilers, please!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

how hard will it be for us Aussiminions not to say any spoilers about KOTW

Noelle said...

you BETTER NOT, Cain... *eye twitches*

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm staying well away from here until I finish KOTW

Eve the ROCK said...

And I won't give any spoilers about it, I pwomiss

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

its gonna bubble up inside me

but i wont say ANYTHING

promise

Star Inkbright said...

SPOILER ALERT FOR MOCKINGJAY

I didn't even realise Coin had died till I went "okay, I rushed the ending of that book, I'm gonna go over it" :P

Shows how much attention I pay.

Flame Phoenix said...

derek has two blog posts for people who read the books, and those who haven't eve.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

and if it bubbles up too much, i'll go annoy some other kid in my class who reads SP and talk about it with them

Luciana said...

I'm going to vanish next month until I have read KOTW, I think...


Also, does anyone know where I could get the Oz/NZ version of TEOTW for pretty cheap? I can't afford the one I found, yet...So I am looking for a cheaper one...I have 2 UK versions of it, though..

Zathract Mist said...

I'll be gone again by the time Kingdom of the Wicked is released...

Flame Phoenix said...

I thought Snow had fallen and died.. Until i like read back over it when it said snow was alive and laughing.

Zathract Mist said...

L, email.

Noelle said...

If it bubbles up too much, I'll be leaving ;P
Sorry, but nope. Noooo spoilers.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

you can get it for about $5 here

(aussie dollars)

Eve the ROCK said...

You know what I didn't like about Mockingjay? That final battle part towards the end. I didn't realize it was supposed to be the EPIC PART WHERE THERE ARE NO SOUND EFFECTS JUST EPIC MUSIC until later.

Me: Oh, right....cool.

Anonymous said...

Well. I've returned! And nobody missed me... *feels sad*

Eve the ROCK said...

I know, Phoenix, but I'm not risking it :D

Flame Phoenix said...

prim died then..

Eve the ROCK said...

We all missed you in our hearts, Birdie!

Zathract Mist said...

*gives up about the spoilers and mutters darkly*

Star Inkbright said...

I got TEOTW UK version for £0.80 :)

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

we are all not so great at keeping spoilers secret

Anonymous said...

DAAAAW... Thanks Eve.

Flame Phoenix said...

No..

Mist, email me.

Eve the ROCK said...

Mist, you know you say 'mutters darkly' almost every time you come here?

Luciana said...

I have 2 TEOTW UK versions.

I'd be willing to send one to an Aussie if they wanted one?

Star Inkbright said...

I'M not spoilering.

Btw, I'm changing my fav books list to put in my favourite books at different ages.

Anonymous said...

He's a darkly muttering person.

Eve the ROCK said...

It's true Birdie. There was a deadly st-

OW. My scalp.

Zathract Mist said...

Probably.

Kay, Phoenix. I mean the...Flame.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

YES PLEASE L!!

are the covers any different??

and whats the difference between them if it isnt the covers??

Anonymous said...

Ok, Flame is Phoenix, I'm Birdie.

Zathract Mist said...

Me, L! Me! :D

*has been looking for an Aus cover of EOTW for ages now*

Zathract Mist said...

Sent, Flame.

Anonymous said...

Just want to get that straight. Everybody clear?

Eve the ROCK said...

Miss, the other version doesn't have the short story and instead has deleted scenes and stuff

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

yep, clear here

Anonymous said...

Never mind...

Star Inkbright said...

I mutter darkly when me am annoyzigged.

PEOPLE, NO SPOILERS. PLEEEEEASE. *threatwnong glare*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oooooh

hell yeah L!!

Zathract Mist said...

Kay, Birdy.

Anonymous said...

Thank you, Miss Cain!
*damn you slow computer...

Eve the ROCK said...

Clear! I never called you Phoenix anyway. It was either Birdie or Mith

Star Inkbright said...

*threatening

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

no spoilers from me

Luciana said...

The covers are the same.
The story in the back, after TEOTW is different...I'd really like it if one of you had 2 copies of the Oz/Nz version of the book would send me one in return, if possible?
If not I'd have to keep mine- because my mum hates me sending people random gifts...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i could buy another one, yeah

Anonymous said...

All my friends call me Birdie. Jessica came up with it... I think L has met her before?

Noelle said...

*cries*

Whyyyyyyyy is my computer so slooooowwwwwwww.

Eve the ROCK said...

Our comments are clogging up your computer, Adra :)

Anonymous said...

My computer is hell on these things...

Luciana said...

Yes! I remember you as Birdie!

Anonymous said...

I blame YOU!

Anonymous said...

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, duh, of course. *hits head*
I kept thinking there was a different cover.

Yes, I have 2 copies, L!

Noelle said...

Well, yes, AND I'm trying to make a new blog for my artwork :D

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry, Ad.

*is writing my competition entry*

I kicked a tree. Because it was annoying me. And I hurt my foot. BAD tree.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im listening to Fantastic Baby



again for about the 100th time

Noelle said...

Haha. COMPETITION!!! I'm sooo afraid mine's going to suck. And that would be bad... D;

Eve the ROCK said...

Msd from now on, akay? Love you all *hugs*

*shrugs* It's July.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*raises eyebrow*

ok Eve...

Luciana said...

I just want to say thank you to you all for being...Well...For being you. You all have seriously cheered me up, especially Mist- his e-mails always make me smile when they're random and out of the blue! *huggles everyone*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

where do you find the paperbacks in Aus??

Noelle said...

*hugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

*blinks* July is the year of hugging. You have to hug at least ten different people or you'll get bad luck for the rest of the year.

What, do you think I actually WANTED to hug you? *scoffs poshly*

I'd rather hug a malnourished porcupine.

They're so cute trust me

Eve the ROCK said...

I hugged them first, Luce! You can't do that!

Zathract Mist said...

*blinks*

...Anyway, msd from now on, guys.

Noelle said...

http://followthepen.blogspot.com/

Hey guys, this is my new blog for all my artwork and stuff!!!
Granted, I can't promise that it'll be good... but... Can you guys check it out??? PLEASEEEEE

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Luciana said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Noelle said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Luciana said...

Noelle said...

Noelle said...

Oh yeah, Mist-

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Zathract Mist said...

L, my iPod isnt letting me reply to your email!

*hits iPod*

Sorry!

Luciana said...

YES, MIST. DEDICATIONS.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh...dedication.
Uh...okay...

Luciana said...

I got a blank e-mail. *laughs*

It's okay, Mist! :)

Noelle said...

Haha. YYYYYAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! Cain, you're my new best friend ;P

Who's your favorite doctor

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry for distobating, back nowwww . . .

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

mine is David Tennant

Noelle said...

i LOVE HIM!!!! But, I will admit, I love Matt Smith just as much...
Christopher Eccleston was pretty bad, though. O.o
In my opinion

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

my fav partner is Donna

whos yours??

Luciana said...

Star! *hugs*

ALSO, TENNANT IS AMAZING. MINE. *smiles and walks away*
I'll shut up..

Eve the ROCK said...

*has sudden urge to be a troll*

Zathract Mist said...

I dedicate this page to people who have been hurt by others who have told lies. Lies that were big and lies that were used in a bad way. 

People lie for a heap of different reasons and most of the time none of it is necessary. Lying is nearly always a bad thing and I'm sure people know what they're getting themselves into when they tell a lie. For that, a lot of liars should be despised. Only if a large lie is absolutely and unequivocally needed to protect yourself or another from harm should lying be acceptable, and most of the time it really, really isn't. 

As for the people who are hurt by lies, they are really not deserving of the cruelty of it all. At all. 

Too many have been hurt by lies and too many have told them. Don't do it...
I know that the people of Blogland are far too caring and nice to do such things as large and horrible lies, but...its been done...And it most definitely shouldn't happen again. 

I would also like to officially apologize for every single horrible, disgusting, despicable lie I have ever told and that I sincerely regret any such thing that I have done...


...Mm...

*sits down*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

WHERE THE HECK DID YOU GET GREEN AND BLUE PAGES ON THE BOOKS?!?!

L! I AM OFFICIALY JEALOUS!!

Star Inkbright said...

My email app isn't workingggggg.

So nice of it to make an extra special effort just when I need it most. *sarcasm*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

good ded Mist, good ded

*goes back to gawking at L's books*

Noelle said...

Okay, you can have him. i'll have Matt Smith ;P

I love Donna, but Rory and Amy are probably my favorite...

Haha I love this: milks shake milk shake. No, not milk? Uh... shake shake shake cocktail shake. What, do you want a Harvey Wallbanger?

Harvey Wallbanger? How is that one word?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i know how you feel Star

Luciana said...

Wow, Mist...Just...Wow..
*applauds*

I TOLD YOU I CAN'T DED. *points at Mist's dedications*

Why wasn't he nominated for best dedications?

Eve the ROCK said...

IS RAISING EYEBROW AT DED IN BLOGLAND





IS TRYING NOT TO CRACK UP IN REAL LIFE

Noelle said...

*raises glass* hear hear!!!

Nice ded, Mist!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*whines*

L, i want your bookssssssssss!

Luciana said...

Cain, I've had them for a while...*laughs*
I still need the ones with orange pages...*frowns*
IF ANYONE SEES IT LEMME KNOW! I'd more than gladly trade one of my TFO blue page paperbacks for it!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*raises imaginary glass*
hear hear!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ohhh!!

im going looking L!

like i'll be able to find any in Aus...

*scowls*

Star Inkbright said...

Liesssss . . .

I understand that some lies are needed but yeah, you're right, we should try not to lie. *makes New Minute's Resolution not to lie as much*

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm perfectly happy with the amount of books I have. I wasn't particularly happy when my friend ruined my brand new SP new cover book

Noelle said...

HOW DO YOU HAVE COLORED PAGES???

Luciana said...

*laughs*
Okay then, Cain.
HAVE FUN! I spent so long looking for them.

I accidentally bought my second blue paged TFO....*laughs slightly*

Eve the ROCK said...

My Faceless Ones book has colored pages. I prefer good old' faded white

Zathract Mist said...

I want the UK covers...
My parents think I'm mad for wanting several copies of the same books.

I told them I am. :D

Noelle said...

I feel your Pain, Eve. I got DD for Christmas, and I let my brother borrow it. He left it somewhere dangerous, and Gatorade and water spilled on it. I still have it, but it's in about 10 pieces

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im alright with my amount of SP books, but i feel like theres a hole where the other covers of the series go

Luciana said...

*laughs and points at Mist's comment*
My parents are only letting me get them in the hope that I'll sell them when I am older because my collection is actually worth A LOTTTTTT.
I have spent about...£100 pounds on them all, I think and it's worth far more than that!

Eve the ROCK said...

*has Green Day song in head*

What the hell am I going to wear to that party...

Star Inkbright said...

I don't know if you people realise how I actually try to act on deds like that. I don't usually just read them, say wow and then forget about them.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

im going to write my birthday list now and its going to coinsist of other SP book covers and SP related stuff and a whole lotta DW series bought from the ABC shop

Noelle said...

I've only got the series once. The only repeats I have are book 1 and book 4. Technically I have two copies of 2... But one of them is dead.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

oh!

which song Eve??

Luciana said...

I always remember dedications. Dedications are usually so inspiring and it's as though we're teaching each-other things that we never want to forget and every time someone makes a reference to one of my dedications I actually feel myself tear up with pride...

Noelle said...

Well said, Luce ;D too true.

*prances around, swishing dress*
la.. la la... La la la

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm pretty sure the song is called Holiday, but it could be another of their songs....

Star Inkbright said...

I love the Gone covers as well, as we're talking about coloured pages. It's kind of contradictory, though - (SLIGHT SPOILER) "oh, let's write these books about kids coughing up their lungs and being eaten alive by bugs and give it nice pretty red pages".

Zathract Mist said...

I'm terrible at dedications. I don't even know where that thing came from.

...Well, I DO, but I didn't really mean for that to come out the way it did.

Eve the ROCK said...

I think dedications are FUNNY

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Holiday is a good song

if it mentions stuff like putting a plastic bag on a monument, thats Holiday

Eve the ROCK said...

Mm-hmmm, mist

Luciana said...

HOLIDAY IS A GREAT SONG!
Did Mist poof?
AND I LOVE HG ORIGINAL COVERS. I have the books, I just need to read them >.<

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i think dedications are insirational, unless they're a bit like mine

struggling

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*inspirational

Luciana said...

No, Mist didn't poof.
AND YOU'RE GREAT AT DEDICATIONS!

Zathract Mist said...

I hate MOVIE COVERS. Original covers are always so much better.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i have the Hunger Games original covers!!

i they're the ones i hope we're talking about

Eve the ROCK said...

I wasn't really listening to the lyrics, but my bro was playing it on his guitar, and I was singing along in gibberish

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at Eve* You're as bad aa Rim. She went to see the Hunger Games and laughed her head off when Rue died.

@Zath: it was a good ded. Really.

Luciana said...

I love original covers of books. *points at profile picture*
Especially the Disc World Original Covers! <3

Noelle said...

I go for 5 minutes...

Star Inkbright said...

@Zath talking about movie covers: YES! I KNIW! ORIGINAL COVERS ARE BETTER!!!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok Adra!

Eve the ROCK said...

I laughed at that part in Spiderman 2 where Mary Jane was about to get crushed by a wall and Toby screamed. :D

And that part where Norman shouted AVENGE ME!

Star Inkbright said...

*has only just now noticed L's profile oic*

. . .

*kicks self*

OUCH!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Adra!

And I laughed in a movie where everyone was getting killed by wolves. But you have to admit, that WAS funny

Noelle said...

haha.... Now that you think, that's hilarious.

Anyone see the Amazing SpiderMan?

Luciana said...

Bye, Adra!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

not here Adra

Noelle said...

WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING BYE TO ME???

Noelle said...

OOOH... and it looks good ;)

Eve the ROCK said...

PH MY GOD I LOVE THE ANAZING SPIDERMAN

But most of all...

I love Andrew Garfield! <3

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

cuz you said that you go for 5 mins

Eve the ROCK said...

So yes, I've seen it :)

Noelle said...

noo... I meant "I leave for five minutes... And this is what happens"

OMG Andrew Garfield is soooooo cute :) and he has an accent. double win.
I'll be honest, I still like Alex Pettyfer. He has an accent, also.
QUADRUPLE WIN

Luciana said...

I'm confuddled...
*frowns*

I'll make a post about my extra TEOTW copy, now...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Drew O'Connor said...

Haha bye. NEW POST

Tim said...

As one of your Ameriminions (Did I get that right?), I can say my address in London (a Starbucks address I found on the Internet) was good enough for Amazon, and they happily ship books to my 'alternative address' outside the UK. I've enjoyed all of your books and can't wait for the next one.

Momo said...

Oh no! What happened to the SP Forums???O.o
Nice Photos, btw^^

MonsterMouse said...

I LOVE THE FEZ!
in an interveiw, the people where like, if we let matt put on a fez, he wont ever take OFF the fez.
Thats why they murdered the fez.

Valkyrie273 said...

Hi Derek, I was at the book signing in Liverpool, Waterstones, I was the one with the skull keyring on my bag. I forgot to ask you a question; I like to write stories like you, but I often run out of inspiration, so I was wondering if you could help me?
