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 It seems to have been replaced by a...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

1st!
ReplyDeletelol i love the photos, hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteNo... I'm not in Dublin...
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are awesome though. =]
Hang on, my comments aren't showing up...
ReplyDeleteWhat I wanted to say was - it seems that genesisnx's domain has run out! ut expired yesterday. In the mean time, though, you can visit the roarhaven.net forums! Also, Derek, when will you be announceing the Ten Times the Awesome Competition results? The HarperCollins T & C seem to say that the winners will be picked randomly rather than being chosen by our Golden God himself, which worried a few of us...
ReplyDelete6th!
ReplyDeleteHi Derek! Im on when you posted O.o
ReplyDeleteMeow Mix!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend usually blurts that out at random moments in time
lol thx kal *hugs* *runs away before she can be noogied* :P
ReplyDeletehi to everyone!
Hi!!! Im not lonely like I was last night my time....i swore everyone was eaten by penguins
ReplyDeletepenguins? the penguins have returned? *looks around nervously*
ReplyDeleteLeast they didnt eat the Golden God....that would suck
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to get hold of genesinx (because people on the forums said they're not having much luck) but don't want to seem creepy. Hm....
ReplyDeleteOi!!! I remembered
ReplyDeleteDerek if you are on, do you know what Nascar is?! Its popular where I live so I'm curious.
HI!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi!!!! The penguins are back
ReplyDeleteit really would suck, zafira
ReplyDeletehi miss cain!
Hey Miss Cain we moved to this post!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, netball
ReplyDeleteGoogle it
CRAP!!!
This storm is scaring the crap out of me
Lol no penguins can eat our Golden God....or they die.
ReplyDelete*hasitch fork* get spoons guys!!!
Hi evryone!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre the penguins back??
ReplyDeletePenguins?????
ReplyDelete*gets shadows*
ReplyDeleteBring it penguins!!
Yup!!!!
ReplyDelete*points to the penguins*
they tried eating Derek yesterday
What????
ReplyDeleteThey must be destroyed!!!
ReplyDeletePenguins
ReplyDeleteDIE!!!!!!!!!!!
*starts throwing shadow knives*
Lola, these penguins tried to eat Derek yesterday
ReplyDeleteThey must be punished!!
*continues to throw shadow knives*
*attacks them with shadow knives*
ReplyDeletekill the demon penguins!!!!!!!!!
*runs at the evil penguins and uses knives on them as well as fire*
ReplyDeleteKill them now!!!!
ReplyDelete*throwing shadow axes*
*laughs*
ReplyDeleteYou penguins think your so tough
Ha
Your NOT
*shoots one with gun*
*watches them head to where ever Derek is in Ireland*
ReplyDeleteuhm.......uh.....THEY TRTING TO EAT HIM
I love the photos. :D
ReplyDeleteAs Holly says, the domain name for the forums seems to have expired yesterday. Which, well, sucks.
(I mean, all my awesome Valduggery analysis is there! And I don't think I posted my Beryl/Nye/Wreath threesome ficlet anywhere else. Although on second thoughts, that one being gone may be a good thing for everyone.)
I hope Genesisnx will, well, say something... if she doesn't want to deal with hosting the forums or the domain any longer, I'm sure something could be worked out re: transfer, but it would need her input.
This is fun!!
ReplyDelete*starts throwing shadow bombs*
*drives into them with a bus*
ReplyDeleteDie penguins die!!
oh no their not! *throws grenades at them*
ReplyDeleteI would pee my pants to see you. BUT I would need $968.00 plus $547.00 in taxes for my plane ticket.
ReplyDeleteI wanna live in the super continent! Pangea! that way, plane tickets would be cheaper.
Whats a forum??
ReplyDelete*still smashing into penguins with a bus once red now black white and red*
*makes them into tiny ribbons*
ReplyDeleteAre they dead? Is Derek ok? He's more important
Hmmm, just to be sure
ReplyDelete*jumps on one then squashes it to death*
*giggles*
It tickles
Kribu, I've tried contacting her on her dA page (which Derek has linked to? It has all the awesome SP fanart on it, and such?) and her twitter page, if that helps. I really hope we don't lose the forums! I know it's a little silly, but the Valduggery thread was really doing amazingly with all the analysis, and the stuff, and... -_- Anyway, at the very least it would be good to get the backups. I'm sure even if the original owner doesn't care, other people would love to work things out!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned that Derek himself had wondered where the forum went, haha, let's see if the owner/creator notices.
i agree skully, it should never have parted, then we could all get together and, like, rent a bus or something and DRIVE over to see Derek, not fly and spend 1500$ on a plane ticket
ReplyDeleteWhats a forum?!?!?
ReplyDeletePoor Ameriminons
ReplyDeleteI get to see Derek in August!!!
*does happy dance*
Come to Aus!!
Well, we can beg to death to get his publishers to send him to America since im assuming everyone using $ is American
ReplyDeleteaw :( well, congratulations, Miss Cain
ReplyDelete*steps out of bus and slips on remains of a penguin*
ReplyDeleteI think they're all dead!!
50th?
ReplyDeleteTrue that Lola!!
ReplyDelete*squeezes a penguins brain out*
Eww, icky
yup, Zafira
ReplyDeletelola- i hope so *throws a dagger into a penguin who was trying to be sneaky*
51st Random, 51st
ReplyDeleteHolly, I really hope Gen will respond to you either on dA or Twitter (I don't use either, so I'm somewhat out of the loop on how things work there).
ReplyDeleteBecause, yeah, databases can be exported and domains can be transferred, if it came to that.
Lola - a forum is a place on the internet where people can have discussions and such. A bit like the blog comments here, just all nice and organised by subject/topic.
Anyone want to help me clean the bus????
ReplyDeleteIt's STILL raining in Perth
ReplyDeletehello all! Derek, PLEASE come on
ReplyDelete*very hopeful puppy eyes*
If someone ticks me off
ReplyDeleteDo his publishers need a shave from Sweeney Todd?!
Its cloudy in Ireland!!!
ReplyDeleteOk Lola!
ReplyDelete*uses shadows to collect all the blood, gore, etc then dumps it in the bin which falls over*
I think the bin man is late
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FORUMS?!?! *creys*.
ReplyDeleteALSO. WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN IRELAND?!?!? *sobs into a baguette*.
ANDDDDDD. I FAILED MY HISTORY EXAMS. *laughs*.
I did well in Biology though, I think. I winged that exam, too.
ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDdd. I wrote about Dark Days; Mortal Coil and Death Bringer in my history exam! AND IT TOTALLY RELATED.
*screams of happy*.
Can't forget FRIDAY. OMGG. FRIDAY.
Hi Jakro!!
ReplyDeleteSo is Derek choosing the 10 times winners, or are they random? I hope he chooses them, because mine is "10-times awesome."
ReplyDeleteHey L!!
ReplyDeleteIts rainy and muggy in Pennsylvania
ReplyDeleteSame here Random!!
ReplyDeletehi everyone who just showed up!
ReplyDeletehey, mine has skulduggery in a fez

ReplyDeletewell, here its sunny and warm :P
ReplyDeleteI shall see you there Derek. I shall have bells on... Well not literally but my mam said she'll come with me so it's something lol
ReplyDeleteAh I'll have the baby with me so he'll be as noisy as bells. There you go! lol

Wait the rain has stopped
ReplyDeleteFor now only though

ReplyDeleteALSO. OH GOD. FRIDAY. ALL THE FEELS, ALREADY.
ReplyDeleteUK/IRELAND DATES.

I AM SO EXCITED.
THIS YEAR JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BRIGHTERRRRRRRRRRR.
Bye Emerald!!
ReplyDeleteCan we have an Ameriminion tour? Please? in SC?
ReplyDeleteWhere am I going lol
ReplyDeleteSHEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.
ReplyDeleteThe wind is making a noise
ReplyDeleteIt's THAT windy!!
Dammit Emerald
ReplyDeleteI thought it said cya all
Heya L lol
ReplyDeleteDo you know you are probably the only person that gets really excited when I come on lol tis amazing
Hi everyone that has just came!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I get really excited when the people I love the most come onlineeeee. Cx
ReplyDeleteI AM HYPER BECAUSE EXCESS ENERGY BECAUSE OF THREE HOURS WORTH OF EXAMSSSSSSS.
On second thought, I AM Random, so maybe I'd win a random drawing...or maybe I wouldn't
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean reclam your name Luc???
ReplyDeleteExams mean nothing to me
ReplyDeleteI'm not even in high school!!!
*reclaim*
ReplyDeleteI give up hoping for an American tour. We're so bloody hated by the higher ups
ReplyDeleteYou love me the most!
ReplyDeleteAwww shucks *blushes*
Your all right miss cain lol it can happen to the best of us lol
But we're his most loyal fans, Zafira. We buy his books and pay for cross-country shipping. They're just jealous.
ReplyDeleteI decided that Luciana wasn't who I really was anymore and I didn't deserve the name...Luciana is a strong young woman, both mentally and physically. But I wasn't very strong, recently...Things happened and I broke down again, emotionally. I didn't think I deserved to be called Luciana, so I went back to L. L was more mysterious and like an unknown person. I was unknown to myself. I didn't know who I was anymore. But I've gone back to more like Luciana again, so it's fine.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, 11pm is the most likely time for that to happen
ReplyDeleteAnd if we don't get a tour, at least we "die knowing we had the moral high ground." Just finished rereading Dark Days.
ReplyDeleteRandom- i agree, they ARE jealous
ReplyDeleteHi guys! :) Derek, too bad, I'll miss it, I'm at Dublin on NEXT Sunday. Grr. :(
ReplyDeleteAh it happens at around 10am for me miss cain. The baby brain you see, it can't be helped.
ReplyDeleteGood on ya Lu!!!

ReplyDeletelol random
ReplyDeleteHi Val Cain!!
ReplyDeleteHi Val!!
ReplyDeleteDid he not say that he is doing an America tour or am I thinking of something else.
ReplyDelete9:00am for me :P
ReplyDeletehi ValkyrieCain
They are jealous of us. We go through torture to just get the books. But we are loyal. Im going to get KOTW even if I gotta beg
ReplyDeleteThe rain is back
ReplyDeleteEmerald- i dont think he has said anything on the subject, at least not recently
ReplyDeleteWhenever Business class is on for me!!
ReplyDeleteLu...*frowns*...*shakes head*...*smiles again*.
ReplyDelete*starts to sing Pokémon theme tune, again because she had it in her head all the way through the two hour History exam*.
KOTW
ReplyDeleteI want it NOW
same, Miss Cain
ReplyDeletelol Lucy *hugs* im sure you did awesome on ur exams! :D
Hey everyone :) I want Derek to come to Armagh :( I highly doubt he ould, it's very small, but maybe if he goes to Belfast I could go there? It's about 1hr away, and would have to pay for petrol, but it is WORTH IT!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, thanks Raven. :D
ReplyDeleteZafira- Same with me, but EOTW as well. :(
ReplyDeleteI've got to wait to see if I win the Ten Times contest before I get EotW, because combined shipping is cheaper. If I win, It would be great, but I couldn't get EOTW until KotW
Kribu, I think she should do - her last tweet was yesterday and her dA account seems fairly active. The only thing is, seen as she hasn't been contactable ever before it may be due to ignoring messages rather than lack of contactable avenues? I'm not sure. The roarhaven forums are dead at the moment, anyway...
ReplyDeleteExams, I will hate them when I have them, but I dont, so hmmm, I feel sorry for those who do
ReplyDeletegtg!! see ye all later hopefully!!
ReplyDeleteHello, VC.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I NEED MORE BOOOOKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Like, now.
It'd make me feel much better about having failed my exams. ^_^
I got all but The Faceless Ones
ReplyDeleteDunno why
bye lola!
ReplyDeletebye lola!
ReplyDeleteBye Lola!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do comments update so quickly? Stop talking, everyone, so I an hear what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteBye, Lola! :') *waves*.
ReplyDeleteThe rain is thundering outside my window
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I'll get to sleep??
Not that I care
I think you have enough books Lu lol
ReplyDeleteHow far is Dublin from you VC?
I love storms.
ReplyDeleteStorms = BEST weather. <3
Faceless Ones is my only American copy. I have the first two with british covers on Kindle, and obviously got the rest from britan (stupid American publishers, cutting us off at the big cliffhanger.
ReplyDeleteOMGG just opened my blinds
ReplyDeleteThe rain is SOOOOO heavy
Its really early in Britain, isn't it? Its nearly lunchtime here.
ReplyDeleteI've not got THAT many books...
ReplyDeleteI need all the large paperbacks, apart from DD...
And the orange pages for SP.
And the green pages for PWF.
And the normal DD hardback.
And god knows what else I see and want. ^_^
I love storms too
ReplyDeleteBut I really like complaining about random stuff
Sometimes stuff I like but mostly stuff I hate
the first three are all American copies for me, the rest i had to order
ReplyDeleteI AM GETTING THE AMERICAN VERSIONS OF THE BOOKS, SOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
ReplyDeleteIt's after 4 in Ireland Random
ReplyDeleteDay has gone too fast.
I prefer the american covers than the new paperback covers.
I have the original covers on all my books.
And I just recently got all the audio-books so I'm re-reading all the books while listening to the audio-books.
Ah life is good :)
There's no such thing as too many books, Luciana. As Erasmus put it, "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes."
ReplyDeleteI've got one of each in the aus version
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if it's a hardback or paperback or hmmm
I need to get the other books with the other covers
i wont be talking as much cuz i have so many windows open and am trying to do a lot at once, but ill still be here, u may see a random comment from me on a comment i had seen before i refeshed the page :P just a heads up
ReplyDeleteI don't know what any of this means
ReplyDeleteThats the joy of it!!
I'm getting all the American Versions.
ReplyDeleteSo the SP and then Sceptre Of The Ancients versions. In Hardback and in Paperback.
^_^
CANNOT WAITTTTTTTTTT.
Emerald-Of course it is. I got you confused with California. I thought someone said they were sleepy, though...Hmm...
ReplyDelete'Kay, Raven. :)
ReplyDeleteHolly - it's what I fear too, that it's not that Gen can't be contacted but that she's just moved on and doesn't wish to / has no time to deal with the forums.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Roarhaven forums, I suspect that many of those who originally signed up there may have forgotten about them existing... I have no idea how to contact, well, anyone (who isn't on Tumblr or doesn't come here) - the Skulpedia wiki? No clue. Meh.
Why don't a few of us set up a new fan website/forum?
ReplyDelete"So the SP and then Sceptre Of The Ancients versions." sorry, what's SP, then...do you mean the ones that say Skulduggery Pleasant versus the ones with the subtitle?
ReplyDeleteThe rain has stopped
ReplyDelete*sighs*
I wish it would just keep raining
My friend admins the Skulpedia Wiki.
ReplyDeleteHe was so proud of himself.
*laughs at memories*.
Hey you guys think yiu can figure this out?
ReplyDeleteMy friend has on her iPod the fb mobile app. Her chat wont work at all it just refuses to send messages and she cant load into her own page she admins what do you think happened? And safari doesnt work
The normal SP and the SP with Sceptre Of The Ancients with it. ^_^
ReplyDeleteSorry, wasn't clear.
ALSO, SHELL. YES. I LOVE ADMINING THINGS. *looks at all pages and laughs*.
Leave it with me Lu and I'll see what I can do ;)
ReplyDeleteEmerald- which version of the audiobook? the one where Sanguine sounds like a Wild-west cowboy instead of a southern drawl?
ReplyDeleteNights.raven- If its a Random Comment, its from ME.
Everyone is talking about hardbacks and Forums while I just keep you guys up to date with the weather here in Perth
ReplyDeleteWe work together so well!!
Kribu - maybe if Derek announced that the roarhaven forums were there and still existed? Every SP fan I know reads his blog, and if could point the way to a replacement, whether it's the roarhaven site or somewhere else (like Emerald Melody suggested), then people would know. I mean, that's the only way I can think of.
ReplyDeletelol random
ReplyDeleteYAY. I'm loving you more and more each day, Shell! ;D
ReplyDeleteOh, I need the audiobooks...*runs around in circles like an insane person*.
Luciana- Mine has the subtitle but the Library has the SP version.
ReplyDeleteEmerald: Dublin is probably 2 hours/2 and a half maybe :) Still too far, because all my family would have to come, which consists of small kids+Me+Mum+Dad, so it's too far to drag all of them there :'( I wanted to go :( Ah, well, maybe next time Derek goes somewhere I'll be allowed to go :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Cain- And the audiobooks!
ReplyDeleteThe rain has stopped
ReplyDeleteYes and the audiobooks!!
ReplyDeleteBloody rain won't make up it's mind if it wants to stay or go away
ReplyDeleteI'm serious about the audiobook. The one I heard was cool because it was an Irish reader, so Skulduggery finally sound Irish when I read the books, but the reader really messed up Sanguine. He turned him completely into a cowboy. it was really annoying because I know what he would sound like. I live in the south of America, and although I don't have a southern drawl (raised in Massachusetts)I know a lot of people who do have one.
ReplyDeleteI have all six audiobooks
ReplyDeleteThe first four are done by Rupert Degas who is very good at all the voices and makes Sanguine sound like Owen Wilson lol
Then book 5 is done by Brian Bowles and that's ok so far
And then book 6 is read by Stephen Hogan who is good at doing voices aswell
But Rupert Degas was the best at doing Skulduggery's voice.
Holly - yeah, I guess that would work.
ReplyDeleteEmerald - there is a replacement forum set up from some time ago; problem is that it's slightly dead.
Using either that or setting up a new forum is probably what will have to be done if the skulduggeryforums owner doesn't respond - it's just that there was so much there, so many excellent discussions and theories (and fic and art and everything else) that it will be a real pity to lose it all.
Blogs, Tumblr, Facebook etc are awesome things, but for proper discussions, nothing works as well as a good old-fashioned forums / message board format.
Oh. My. Golden. God.
ReplyDeleteA FANMADE AUDIOBOOK......
..............
It was Playing with Fire, read by Rupert Degas.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah L!!
ReplyDelete*hi fives L*
ReplyDeleteI have all the audio books and if anyone would like copies, I would be obliged to email them to you.
ReplyDeleteI am doing youtube videos aswell for the audiobooks but that is taking longer than I thought. I'm near the end of Playing with Fire for youtube.
If another forum was set up I can use my pages to advertise as well as my being slightly influential...
ReplyDeleteWhy did they change readers? do you know? my library only has the PwF, and I can't afford audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteDegas was a great Skulduggery, but Sanguine, (as you can see), really bothered me.
Emerald- are you allowed to do that?
ReplyDeleteMy school HAD Sceptre and PwF but then some moron did something to PwF so now they only have Sceptre
ReplyDeleteAnyone there? Hello?
ReplyDeletewhile I write this, there will probably be another ten comments.
Hmmm the rain might actually not come back
ReplyDeleteOr not.
ReplyDeleteWell other fans did it on the youtube and then didn't continue cause they didn't have all the audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I would help out since I have them all.
As I said, if anyone would like a copy, I don't mind sending it to them but you don't have to if you don't want to.
I just like helping people I guess :) I hope that's alright guys
2? :(
ReplyDeleteMiss cain- worst downpour yet. right...........Now.
I'M HERE. *waves arms in Random's face*.
ReplyDelete3
ReplyDeletethat makes 4... I should probably give up, everytime I post, someone else does too, and I'm at least 1 behind. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm just not sure what is going on, half the time.
ReplyDeleteThen go on random tangents and then it changes the conversational topic, so...*grins*.
I'm constantly refreshing my page
ReplyDeleteJust thought you'd might want to know that
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME, CAIN. *laughs at self*.
ReplyDeleteNew topic-....I can't think of anything that will get responses but not spoil anything (for me). Its sunny here...
ReplyDeleteNone of this makes sense...
ReplyDeleteNot that I care!!
LOL!
ReplyDeleteDerek, I must say, you have a great eye for awesome pictures...
It actually took me quite a while to get my head around the 'Meow Mix' photograph.
Well timed indeed.
Emerald, if you are allowed to do that I'd love to find some copies, but if not it's fine.
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to get some backups for the Skulduggery forums no matter what. Even if they can only be accessed as archives rather than being 'live' backups it would be horrible to lose everything outright. Not so much the offtopic chatterposts, but the genuine discussions - coughValduggeryandPairingsThreadscough.
Hi Taia!!!
ReplyDeleteMy page won't refresh. I have to comment again. WHICH GIVES ME SOMETHING TO DO, AT LEAST.
ReplyDeletestupid capslock. I'm too lazy to fix it.
HEY, TAIA! xD
ReplyDeleteDid any of you know that some corn is actually black, in colour?
Lol Random!!
ReplyDeleteL, didn't know that
ReplyDeleteLoL to the photos!!
ReplyDeleteAre there going to be Signings in NI??
Please, as some as you find out TELL US!!
Luciana- Actually, I did. Some is white, and red too.
ReplyDeleteHi NJ!!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention yellow....
ReplyDeleteWhy are we talking about corn?
Hi Miss Cain!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Luciana!!
And no, I didn't know that!
Hey, NJ!
