Righto, I can finally reveal the details for the A/NZ Down Under Tour. Most of the days will be taken up visiting schools, so I'm only listing the public events which will occur in the evenings and at the weekends.
For the public signings, all you have to do is turn up and I'll sign as much as possible in the time I have- but for the public events, it might be a good idea to contact the bookshop/library/whatever as soon as possible, in order to book a place.
The Ireland and UK details will be posted when I have them.
Oh, and for those of you who entered the little short story competition on the Skulduggery website, I've just read through the finalists (30 of them) and the winners will be announced before the weekend. Some truly great work in there...

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4726 Newer› Newest»Hyperventilating? Does that mean its good?
Okay, I went to the Dymocks website, to try and look up Derek's event, and I saw Kingdom of the Wicked in the upcoming books section, so alright, I'll take a look at it, and I saw the date it's out, and I almost exploded and died, and checked and double checked
It says the 24th of next month!!
Of course, it was wrong with TEOTW, but right with DB, so maybe it'll be aroud earlier then the end of August!
What the hell....?
OH MY GOD IT DOES SAY THAT!!!
*narrows eyes*
You doubted me?
Nix, Nix, Nix. Of COURSE I doubted you! :D
Hi Kallista!!!!! :D
I'm pretty goose, how about you?
I WANT KINGDOM OF THE WICKED EARLY!
Ah well, today I'm feeling insane
Oh, how I have missed the insanity... meaning not really at all
Oh, and thanks Kal!
You come to Australia, and I'll buy a copy for you
Actually, you can just go to any Dymocks store. No, my money
*backs away*
You haven't read Death Bringer?!
Kal, why don't you just order it? Because I think you know that it took FOREVER for the books to get here, and it'll take forever for Death Bringer to come to. Besides, if you order it then you can have 2 copies!
I still haven't read The End of the World. -.-
I'm going to order it along with Kingdom of the Wicked for my birthday though. ^.^
Well, maybe I'll be a book ahead of you in July
*is now royal* quack! I mean...what sound do pretty geese make?
The other night I dreamed that Derek had posted something about him needing pet names... In the dream I started freaking out and trying to think but I had to take care of my baby dinosaur who wanted to eat my family... When I woke up I turned on the computer as fast as possible but there was no post XD
ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
That's ZEEEEEEEEED to us Eve
Zed. I made a Sim called Zed.
*shakes head at dinosaur* How many times do I have to tell you not to eat my friends?
Tell him I said congrats for his winningness, Kallista!
Derek!!!! What was that competition to meet you about? I haven't heard anything since I entered!
God, I feel out of place, like a bloody owl coming out during the day :\
Hi Em!
Heya Nix
Zaf has payed me to help her, but I'm only going to do it when she's here
Unless there's a better offer...
That damn necromancer!!!
What is she giving you?
I third of Ireland
*A
How did I get i...?
You'll never get a 3rd properly, Ireland is too unevenly proportioned.
Um... I can do you one better and get the Golden God to do you a message when I meet him in September
AND
I'll give you free passes to Dublin Zoo
Hmm... tempting...
I'll think about it
I want Meath!
Ah you can have Meath, tis nothing but boggers
You can take Limerick off our hands Kallista, no one would miss that poxy county.
God I'm actually getting worried, the amount of people looking for my ass along with Zaf now
Be back soon
Bye!
No, I have super epic reasons for Meath... *suspicious grin*
Umm the reason you could take Limerick is because it's full of nothing but gangs and drugs lol
Zaf is after me because her High Priest is looking for a sanctuary agent so she is after me but the damn necromancer is paying off everyone else to help her get me.
That showed them lol
I like your style Kall
Right my baby is finally back asleep so that's my cue to go back into hiding.
Night or morning or whatever
Hmm
Emerald, from now on, you can only trust
Me
Professor Lupin
Ron's brother
Van Helsing
Wolfman guy
And never, EVER trust Jacob
Two months...do you reckon I can finish a whole story in two months?
No one here will remember me!
:)
I'm so bored right now, but I've just seen the results to the tour and am so excited.
Hi all.
Hi Myth! I remember you!
Hi Myth
HA! I remember you!
*Anime grin with eyes closed in plesure*
Ho you been?
I meant how.
Heya Myth! I remember you too!
Eh... I chose not to answer...
Val! How are ya?
*Spirits rise due to being surrounded by vitrual people*
I'm good! Just sewing the glasses on my Derek-lizard... Almost done with it!
A Derek lizard. What's that?
A lizard version of Derek.
I asked him "Are you or are you not a lizard?" and he said "I was for a time, but I changed. I changed." So I am making him in lizard form.
Uh, Kal, I'm really sorry, but can you not do that. There isn't much space left on this blog, and we don't want to waste it... sorry...
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
I was just flooded with a whole heap of warm memories. When the competition for Au/Nz was on and we were making characters and afterwards we never stopped chatting and I was so excited and all of that. God that was fun.
And I am yet to have a conversation with Derek.
Same here Myth... with both of those, btw
:)
Oh, and who here knows Molly?
I saw her once, and said about one and a half things to one another, but that's it...
I've spoke to her a few times
Bye Kal!
Bye Kal!
Bye!
*opens gift*
It's a dinosoar!
Anyway, Molly and I are going out. Yay!
brb
MollylovesDerekLandy? Or another Molly?
And BYE KALLISTA!
*opens gift* Yesssss.
*eats the live chicken*
That's the one!
Oh my God, not that again...
*opens gift* It's a balloon with Derek's face on it!
Oh yes! I remember Molly! I temporarily cured her of the Valduggery influenza!
So you're going out? Cool. :)
*adds another couple to the Mega List Of Blogland Couples*
You'll be... Mollogy!
Uh... I chose to save my gift...
Yes, the live chicken thing again. Although I also have an appetite for purple bananas. I am the Banana Lord, the Inky Octopus Girl proved it! *points to the banana statue she made for me*
Mollogy... I like that, it's clever. She's gonna hate me for anouncing it on Blogland, but I DON'T CARE!
She's beautiful and the world needs to know it.
Oh my God, I was on CleverBot earlier today and we had a conversation about purple bananas. It was wierd.
I haven't seen her in so long! Say hi to her for me!
Wait, so do you two live in the same place and are going out
OR
Are you blog-going-out?
OR
Are you chat-going-out?
OR
Other?
What's CleverBot?
Oh, Molly and I live in the same town, go to the same school, I frequently go round to her house.
Don't think dirty.
And we have been going out now for about two weeks.
Oh, that must be awesome coz you both love Skulduggery Pleasant! :D
And Myth, I think live chickens.
How old are you both?
You THINK live chickens?
CleverBot is an awesome game thing where you can have a conversation with the internet.
It's awesome.
I'm 14.
I think live chickens.
*opens up brain*
*brain is full of live chickens*
Oh, that sounds interesting.
Full of live chickens....
I suppose it's normal enough for us.
And I bet you've all gone and buggered off to try it out...
I'm gonna come back ina few minutes. See ya lata!
K Myth
Gtg bye!
Bye Eve!

Hi Star!
Hi Nix, Val!
*looks at Nix in horror* MARSHMELLOWS!!!
*grins evily*
So, finally, someone found out
Give it one,
Give it two,
Give it one, two, three (four five)
Ah... the dancer told you
YES! I FOUND OUT THE CRIME YOU HAVE COMMITTED! *gets out handcuffs and runs round in circles looking for Nix*
*stops* AHA! THERE YOU ARE!
THE DANCER DID!
Well, if you think I'm going down without a fight...
*suddenly stops in the middle of charging to Niz screaming, causing self to fall over* You aren't? Aw.
*gets up*
Well, I didn't say I was going to fight... but yeah, I am
I be back now. Hi, all!
Molly and I are going out!
Hi Myth!
Oh, and that was not a few minutes
*deliberates*
*charges at Nix screaming anyway*
Hi. So, what happened while I was away? Anything interesting?
Wait, we're fighting now? Like, now?
Okay then
*draws machete*
Star, should I be worried?
Val finished her Derek lizard, she put the link up a bit
Oh yeah, I saw that. Man it looks KOOL!
*draws sw-*
Wait . . . Where IS my sword?
*spots it in tree*
Erm . . . I'll . . . Be right back . . . *dashes to tree$
My lizard is so awesome! *hugs it*
*throws cupcakes at squirils*
Depends who's side you're on, Myth. If you're on mine, don't tell Nix I said this, but YES.
*is climbing tree*
*looks up tree*
Guess I'll take the fight to you
*starts climbing*
*yelps and scurries up tree faster*
I'm not anyone's side. I'm the peacekeeper. Hey, has anyone spoken to Sparks recently?
My picture is so cool.
*stops halfway*
*looks at bird*
That is now my bird. I shall call her Pineapple
*starts climbing again*
Agreed
*sees sword in the tree next to me and realises I'm climbing up the wrong tree* DAMN!!!!!
Sparky was on last week, I think
Well, I emailed Sparky my deranged story yesterday and she said "No comment", and that's the most recent I've spoken to her.
HI PINEAPPLE!!
So Star, weaponless and traped up a tree, with me and my bird army of one hunting you
What cha gonna do?
SPARKY WAS HERE A FEW DAYS AGO! I WAS FIGHTING SUPERLLAMAS AND L4D CHARACTERS WITH HER!!!
Oh, okay. I just haven't had to stick my fingers back on in a while, so I assumed she had vanished for a while.
. . .
I'm not sure, Nix.
*thinks* I AM GONNA JUMP TO THE SWORD-TREE!! *jumps and faaaaaaaalls . . . But only halfway down:)*
*begins climbing sword-tree*
*looks at jump*
*hugs tree*
It was a bad idea to climb this tree
*begins to go down... slowly*
She vanished for nine weeks... But she's back now
Hm, back...
*Draws gun and shoots sword down from tree. Catches it and twirls it delicately*
Wouldn't THAT have been easier?
*gets sword*
:P
*starts scrambling down tree*
*stops on level with Nix* *grins*
*is a metre off the ground*
... Is it safe to jump?
No, but it is to be pushed. *pushes Nix*
*Clears throat loudly*
I got the OTHER sword in the tree, btw.
*screams all the way down*
*is lying on the ground*
Give... give me a minute Star...
*jumps down*
Sword fight!!
*Swings sword in a high arc, aiming to skim the top of Nix's head*
One mississippi, two mississippis, three mississippis . . .
*gets up*
*picks up machete*
*grins*
You do not want to fight me
Wait, Star is the one with the sword. Sorry Nix.
*blocks Myth* Hey! No attacking people who need a minute!
Btw, THE MINUTE'S UP!!!
I've always had this machete, it's never been up a tree without me
*looks at Star*
Make your move Star
*pushes Nix over again*
I hate swords...
*Drops sword and brings out a short stear*
*says hello to a fish*
DON'T LOOK AT ME! MY SISTER MADE ME DO IT!
*swings sword at Nix*
*stumbles, spins around and swings machete at Val*
Believe it or not, I actually meant spear.
*ducks Star's strike, spins around again, swinging at Star's feet*
Uh, I'm getting dizzy...
Star, are you a boy or a girl?
*misses because of Nix swinging at Val*
*growls* VAAAAAAAAAAL . . .
*rolls backwards, keeping Val, Star and Myth in front of me, at a safe distance*
NOT THIS AGAIN!!!! FIRST FLAME THEN FLAME AGAIN THEN NATHAN NOW YOU!!!!!
Girl, Myth.
*Draws gun and shoots at Nix*
Yeeeeeeeeesss, Star?
*frowns at huge slash in stomach*
Oh, I know how to solve this!
*tapes stomach back together*
*swings sword at Val then leaps forward to Nix*
*bullet hits machete*
*taps Myth and breaks right wrist*
Bone breaker, ftw
Wow. Am I the only guy here?
*goes tumbling with Star*
*taps Star's knee*
HA!
HEY! I'M A GUY!
VAL, YOU MUST WORSHIP THE BANANA LORD.
Awww... *is dismayed about having another gaping hole in my stomach*
You should Val, excelent dental plan
OWWWWWWW!!!! *falls over*
NEVER! NO BANANAS! ALALALALALA!
*starts strangling Star with exposed entrails*
*Goes to Kenspeckle, then strikes at Nix with the short spear*
*blocks spear and taps Myth's collarbone*
*picks up spear that was droped and throws it at Star*
*gasps for breath* Eve . . .will . . .be . . .offended . . . Val . . .she's . . .the Banana Lord . . .
*shadow walks into tree yawning and wearing Loki's helmet*
Morning Blogland!
Hi Lynxia!

*breaks out of strangle and ducks*
Why? What's going on?
*Attacks all with a vocal eruption*
Ha! None of you knew what my dicipline is! I'm an extreme singer!!!
Hi Shadow! *waves*
Hmmm... I should probably put my entrails back inside me...
*jumps down from tree* Yay! A fight!!
LLLLLYYYNNNXXXXXXIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAA!!!!!

*hugs her*
*then stabs her sword* HA.

*goes up to Myth and taps his jaw*
TRY SINGING NOW!
That would be a good idea, Val.
*looks down at sword, shadows heal me* Boom. *kicks Star away*
*starts rolling up small intestine like a piece of rope*
*is growling*
You've made me angry... I tend to kill people when I'm angry
Lynxia, do you like my lizard? *points at picture*

*kicks Myth's head*
Very nice Val. Very Derek-lizard-y.
