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 It seems to have been replaced by a...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...

If i go to a signing with derek, I 'm deffinatly going to try and bring a baguette..

Genesisnx said...

Derek,

The address for the paypal donations is genesisnx@hotmail.co.uk

Reflector said...

DEREK!!!
Maybeyou could get the guys who do the Skulduggery web site to add the forums there.
That's the first place / looked when I heard of them

Reflector said...

... it would be a derek signing. I'd love to go WITH Derek. i'd dream... i'd pay...

Kribu said...

Website hosting is irritatingly expensive at times, so I don't think there's anything odd about fan sites asking donations to cover the hosting every now and then - thanks for the PayPal data, Gen!

*has chipped in, is optimistic about the future of the forums once again*

Eve the ROCK said...

I wish I was here to talk to Derek... :(

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, and Derek, I don't live in Dublin slash Wicklow, and I have no idea what a forum or a web-sitey thing is. :)

I do, however, agree with you on the timing of those photos.....*wants to be a cat now*

And where do you normally hold these book-signing things? You could have the Adelaide one in a tiny bookshop, I guess....(plenty of room :D) OR you could have it at the Adelaide zoo! You could sign a lion cub for me!!!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Nixion Strange said...

He has to come

Lavender Hope said...

Hi!

Wow, Derek's talking a lot more lately, huh? Well, I'm going to be distant. Finally getting to work more on my writing. I'm not sure if others do it, but I'm starting to write the ending now. Might be a while before I get the third chapter up. Having a little writer's block on it at the mo...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lav!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix! Hi Lav!

I need a hug :(

Lavender Hope said...

If you want a hug, I'd be happy to give you one.
*smiles and hugs Eve, then looks at her*
You okay?

Kribu said...

Hi Eve, I don't actually know you but here's a hug for you! *hugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Ahahahahaha!! I stole two hugs!!!!!! xD

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Kirbu!

Eve the ROCK said...

And hi Kribu!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Kribu!

You didn't steal MY hug. I gave it to you. ;P But it doesn't matter, I'd give anyone a hug. :)

Well... almost everyone. :P

Kribu said...

*waves to everyone here*

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah? Who WOULDNT you hug? :P

Lavender Hope said...

Hey, I heard Sparky's coming back soon. I'm wondering if I should clean her tree house a little... I bet it hasn't been brought up in a while. Neither has the lake for that matter... Anyway, just thought it'd be a nice welcome back thing, ya know?

I'm going to clean Sparky's tree house a little.
*heads towards a big tree near the lake with lots of hammocks in it*

Nixion Strange said...

Yo, when's the last time anyone checked if the volcano was active?
*goes and checks*
Uh... don't blame me, but it might be spewing lava everywhere sometime soon...
Yeah...
*backs away*

Drew O'Connor said...

Morning one and all
Anything strange or startling going on?

Lavender Hope said...

It's not TOO close to the lake though... right?

*reaches the tree house and starts sweeping the leaves and dust out of the house, then rakes the area around the tree*

She made lots of hammocks. I bet they have a lot of leaves in it. She HATES spiders, so I should also check to make sure there are none.
*goes to shake the hammocks out and dust the spiders and webs out*

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Emerald!
Well people, am I going on? and on and on
EXPLOSON
(yes, am I aware i spely that wrong)
Wow, I think I am going on...

Drew O'Connor said...

Lol very good Nix lol I didn't cop for a minute that your last name is Strange lol

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Shell. Nice taken name.

Wasn't there a girl with the name, SCARLET Melody? I wonder what happened to her...?

*shrugs it off and goes back to cleaning the tree house*
She made it so big! But, I forget if she made her's bigger than Mist's(now Eve's)... I remember the time Sparky tore her's down and Mist built one bigger. Then they competed on making theirs bigger. Forgot who made it in the end.

*shrugs again*
Oh well.

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Hi!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Lola! I like the addition of your name and pic! It looks nice. :)

*smiles and hums while continuing to shake dust and leaves out of hammocks*

Drew O'Connor said...

Morning Lola!
Thanks Lav, I haven't talked to you in a while

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lola!

Helena Ember Sky said...

*Shadow walks next to everyone and whispers hello in their ears* hello. hello. hello. hello...

Eve the ROCK said...

Dinner bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, I might have been sleeping most of the time you come. Either that or I was doing something else.

*finally finishes shaking out hammocks and starts on dusting cobwebs and spiders out of the house*
Hi Helena. Bye Eve.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!

Hi Helena

Helena Ember Sky said...

Hello guys.

Nixion Strange said...

Derek! Normally you're on when I'm at school! But not tomorrow, but the next day, I have to day off! Can you pleeeeeeease come on, so we can finally talk?!

Drew O'Connor said...

Morning Helena, you alright?

Nixion Strange said...

Now would be awesome as well...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Well, it's night for me. I'm okay, too much homework again though..

Drew O'Connor said...

Oh homework would break anyone's heart lol I hope your getting through it alright

Helena Ember Sky said...

Not really, it's German... maybe I should skip it. Nooooo, I really should get on to it.

Lavender Hope said...

*screams and dashes out of the tree, shaking*
There... is a huge... spider... in her drawer... It's big an-and brown. What if it's a recluse??? They're the worst spider ever! More poisonous than a black widow I think...
*calms down a little*
Or, or maybe it's a tarantula or something... I didn't get a good look...

ValkyrieMarshmallow said...

GOOD MORNING BLOGLAND!!!! Tis sunny in my part of ireland today!!!

Drew O'Connor said...

Ewwww sounds nasty Lav lol
Just swat the bugger with something

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Yeah I know suprise to wake up to sun!!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Marsh

Lavender Hope said...

I'm glad I'm out of school. If I had more, I'd be failing. And dying.

*goes back to the tree house slowly*
*creeps cautiously to the drawer and peeks over it*
*gets a good look at the spider*
Oh. Phew. It's only a tarantula.
*gets a cup and brings the spider out slowly*
*sets it on the grass and watches it crawl deeper into the trees*
Good riddance it's gone.

Lavender Hope said...

Morning, Marsh. :)

It's night over here. Well, very early morning I should say...

*continues cleaning the spider webs away*
I think I chased all the spiders out now.

Drew O'Connor said...

Morning Marsh
It's cloudy in Dublin so your lucky.

Hey Nix did you ever get round to reading my story lol

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Why are you cleaning out a tree house Lav???

Nixion Strange said...

I've got Italian, but after this, nothing will stop me from reading and writing again
but I might not be able to tonight. Sorry

Lavender Hope said...

It's for Sparky's welcome back to Blogland... thing. She's been gone so long. She and Mist made a tree house. Mist gave his to Eve, and Sparky made hammocks for everyone. Well, she might have to expand it a bit. Seeing how many new minions have come.

I'm cleaning it out for her.

Nixion Strange said...

That tree house belongs to the one and only Sparky Braganski

Nixion Strange said...

NO!

Lavender Hope said...

She's coming back in a week(and a half), and I'm not gonna miss it for the world!

I wonder, should I make a banner for her? Saying 'WELCOME BACK' or something?

Maybe I could draw it and post it on my blog!

Although, I'm not really good at drawing trees...

Nixion Strange said...

*eyes widen*
No... you can't do this...

Lavender Hope said...

No, what Nix?

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah your fine Nix lol
Ah now I understand about the tree house. I was a bit lost there for a minute

Lavender Hope said...

What do you mean?

Nixion Strange said...

All my stuff... my stories... I can't get to them... everything...
*sits, pale*

Drew O'Connor said...

On your computer or your blog Nix?

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Where were they???

Lavender Hope said...

What do you mean, can't get to them? What happened, Nix?
*is worried*

Nixion Strange said...

On a usb... my only copies... I had over 50 things that I need to write my novels...

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Oh

Nixion Strange said...

chapters, characters, ideas, plots...

Lavender Hope said...

You lost them ALL?!?! That's horrible!

Can you get them back? Did you try?

Lola Shallow Heart said...

Sorry guys I have to go!!

Nix I hope you find a way to recover your stories!!!

Bye everyone!!

Drew O'Connor said...

Ah they just not on the usb anymore when you plug it in or is the usb even showing up?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Bye Lola, I can't think of anything to write. Well, I know what to write but I can't put it in words. Have you ever experienced that before?

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Lola.
*hops from the tree and walks over to Nix, looking at him in concern*

Nixion Strange said...

I can see the documents, I just can't acses them

Bye Lola!

Lavender Hope said...

I have, Helena. That's what I'm stuck on with my story now. I'm starting to write out the end though.

Drew O'Connor said...

Like when you click them, they won't open?

Lavender Hope said...

That sucks so much, Nix. And I'm not good enough at the technical/computer stuff like that to help.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I haven't even thought about the end. I go from chapter to chapter thinking at night.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, I can't open them
Hang on, I think I got an idea...

Unapplicable. said...

Hello.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Cal!

Nixion Strange said...

Yay! I got them back. I think

Lavender Hope said...

I know when I'm going to end it, but the chapters will lead me there. I just make it up as I go. Thinking of the best way to write it out. Although, since it's a work in progress, I might even make some little changes to the beginning.

Now I'm starting to feel the effects of the Benadril(no idea how it's spelled. Just a pill that supposedly helps with allergies and allergic reactions). Getting tired...

Helena Ember Sky said...

YAY! Congrats Nix! Hey Veggie Monster!

Drew O'Connor said...

What did you do Nix?
Hi Cal

Flame Phoenix said...

hello.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Cal!

That's great news, Nix! Yay! :)

Helena Ember Sky said...

Yeah, I don't know any of that. I make it up as I go along.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Flame!

Lavender Hope said...

HI FLAME!!! I haven't talked to you in so long!!!

I'm cleaning out Sparky's tree house for when she comes back! She's coming back in a week(and a half)!

Flame Phoenix said...

IMMA KILL STAR>.>


Hey, Nix and Helena. *nods*

Nixion Strange said...

I compressed it into a zip folder, copied it and pasted it again. Then copied all the documents and put them back in normal folders

Flame Phoenix said...

Yeah, i know!


(thank god i actually had the countdown right)

Lavender Hope said...

MSD... my eyes are getting heavy... I might just have to go to bed if I get any tireder(interestingly, that's a word. Didn't think it would be)...

Unapplicable. said...

Hi Flame!

Flame Phoenix said...

I thought you lived in england..

Flame Phoenix said...

CAL, HI!

ValkyrieMarshmallow said...

Im back:-D i had to flick through EVERY. page on my mobile to get to this point.....

Drew O'Connor said...

Good thinking there Nix lol
Phew that was a close one

Heya Flame

Lavender Hope said...

*is a little shocked*
Who, me? No. I live in America. It's almost 2 in the morning, but that's not why I'm so tired all of a sudden. I took a pill to prevent allergic reactions, and THAT'S the main thing that's making me tired...

But it IS late... I might go to bed soon.

Lavender Hope said...

I'm going to finish cleaning Sparky's tree house though. Almost done anyway. Just a few more corners to look at. Make sure no spiders are hanging around.

Nixion Strange said...

Be back soon
Bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Nix!

Flame Phoenix said...

Hi emerald, nice to meet you!


And, soz Lav. I was mixed up between you and Blue.


AND NIX THERE MAYBE MIGHT BE A NEW PART IF THE STORY UPTODAY!!!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. Haha, that's okay Flame. :)

Helena Ember Sky said...

Guys, I have to go. Ohwnhh. I know, but is there any fanfics I should read and comment on before leaving?

Lavender Hope said...

*dusts away the last cobweb in the house*
Finally. I'm finished.
*yawns*
And now, to bed I go! Night guys!
*starts falling asleep while fading out and vanishing*

ValkyrieMarshmallow said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Hello all!!

Flame Phoenix said...

No. My teacher last year did.

Unapplicable. said...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Miss Cain!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Nixion Strange said...

*raises eyebrows*
Your teacher stabbed you with a staple?

Nixion Strange said...

That was at Flame, btw

Flame Phoenix said...

He was putting something on the wall and he stuck it into his hand by accident.

ValkyrieMarshmallow said...

Eve I just realised that your picture is a rock and then i was like I GET IT NOW!! you're Eve, and your pic is a rock!! Man, im slow sometimes...

Flame Phoenix said...

The old man stood high and mighty over at the window. It was midnight and the moon hung heavily in the dark sky. Stars littered it with what could have been many beacons sending information home to long forgotten souls. The man moved, shifting slightly sending his silk, emerald robes swirling. They were comfortable and also felt like a second skin, snake like almost. The man’s light grey beard drooped downwards, lying still near his belt just above his waist. He had long silky hair that seemed to wrap around his whole head, subduing him into a net of hair. He bore an emerald hat on the top of the nest of grey, silky hair. He wore black rimmed moon spectacles that reflected the pale moonlight. They sat on the bridge of his long pointy nose. His chin would have been pointy too, if you could see it under the soft beard. He had high cheekbones that held his dark blue eyes up, under a bag of light wrinkles. He would have been beautiful when he was younger.
The man moved from the window and sat down at the black swivel chair, in his office. He placed his hands on the beech desk and tapped them quietly, patiently almost if he were waiting for something.

Flame Phoenix said...

i dont know if to bother with this.

Nixion Strange said...

Why does he remind me of Dumbldore? Is this sickness spreading to my brain?

Flame Phoenix said...

he reminds me of dumbledore, too..

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Miss Cain!

Flame, if you have an idea for it, do it. If you don't want to write it, don't. Personally, if you had an idea, I'd like to see where you were going with it, but it's your decition
