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 3601 – 3800 of 4726 Newer› Newest»*grabs Cleaver and turns his blood to ink*
*laughs as he dies screaming in pain with black veins like a Remnant*
(American Elders vs the Irish...sounds fuuun
WAIT! NO! NIX, COME BACK! THE PORTAL IS CLOSING AND WE NEED YOUR EXPERTISE!!!
*trys to get up again*
Hello? You came all this way to save me, and won't get me through this final bit
*sees Cleavers run in through the door*
Okay, we are now outnumbered
RUN!
(You EVIL people. I was meant to be writing today. Fours Sugarplum!)
*RUNS*
My expertise? At what? Getting arrested because otherwise they would have caught up to you? That was a stupid move by me...
Hahahahahahahaa. Fresh meat *cracks knuckles, and unsheathes a sword like a badass*
Oh, come on. Momma's gonna kick yo butt
*is still in cell*
Hello? I can't walk!
If it comes to this we link and shadow walk
*summons shadows and charges at Cleavers*
*walks through the portal*
Heya Nix, Jesus what happened to you?
*is sitting in cell*
*cleaver gets pasts others and is staring down at me*
... Why is it always me?
*runs over to Nix, helps up.*
Really, you're injured. We have to get you back to the American Sanctuary.
But... I'm SO not missing out on this fight.
*helps Nix through portal.*
Bye!!! I'm going to go kill some things!
*drags Nix through cell door*
COVER ME, PEOPLE!!!
*looks at all the commentz contradicting Nix's fate* What the llamas?
*kicks at cleavers, and slices them, moving really fast, like a killing machine*
TAKE THAT!
A blog dedicated to dedications. Yes or no?
I have no idea... I think everyone should just leave, to fight another day when I can join in and we're not outnumbered
Yes!!!!
And ink, no one knows....
Up to you Luce
*starts humming Patience ny Take That*
*shoots jets of ink at Cleavers*
Good idea. They'll be coming for us, anyway....
EVERYONE, BACK THROUGH THE PORTAL, AND TO THE BATCAVE!
er, that is, to say, the sanctuary.
NOT HELPFUL, NIXXXXXXXX.
NOT HELPFUL, NIXXXXXXXX.
*rolls eyes*
*begins to drag self towards the portal*
I'm getting out of here.
Em, do me a favour and drag everyone else out
OOH! I HAVE A GREAT DEDICATION IDEA.
But I need to get better at writing dedications. D:
*still fights*
DIEE
Luce, you're the best at Deds
Me wants first
I SHALL MAKE A DEDICATIONS BLOG.
Nix, like, three different people have already dragged you through the portal- twice. You're fine :D
Me wants first
*by
. . .
. . . Honestly? I don't know, L.
Zaf, if you die, I don't get paid
BACK TO AMERICA! NOW!
Even dedications need some dedication, sometimes..
You think? I wouldn't know...
Woot I got it...how did that get there???
I DEDICATE
To Em and Nix cuz they just so epic
To Sadistica Tortura...cuz her and I have the same (switch u to an o) last name
PIE!!!!!!
Cheese and penguins
BY THE POWER BeSTOWED UPON ME AND THE AMERICAN SANCTUARY, I ORDER EVERYONE BACK THROUGH THE PORTAL!!!!!!
Besides, they'll be coming for us anyway. THEN we can kill the all... *evil grin*
Oh, well, if you put it like THAT . . . *tugs Zaf through Portal*
*goes to America through portal*
happy??
God my stupid laptop has decided to be a retard and slow down :( that's not cool.
*shifts into wolf form*
*Throws 2 Cleavers against the wall while slashing another 3 across the chest*
Not until I get paid, and someone gets a healer to stop this goddamn pain
*raises glass* hear hear! Nice, Zaf
I am pretty epic, aren't I?
*phones Healer and hands Nix leaf*
And before anyone comments on me having a swollen head, I would like to point out I actually have one
Healer please
Yes, you are Nix.
Wait, why are you epic again?
Yayyyy! Is everyone here? the portal needs to be closed before we all, like. Die....
Your Holy Eminence Majesty of Gracious Royalty, what do you suggest we do?????? :D
*grabs hold of Nix and throws him through the portal*
*shifts back to human form and rubs spit onto Nix's wounds*
Werewolf spit. The best healing remedy this side of the 21st century
Why don't you shorten that to YHEMGR, for a start.
Thanks :)
Enough!!! I believe...we lost an Elder today. Dark and I remain the two living souls on the American Council. Now we need a plan. I got a baaad feeling Ireland may go to war with us!
THERE'S A DARKSIDE TO THE TWENTY-FURST CENTURY??? O_O
. . . Oh, wait, we ARE the dark side. :P
You're right, Your Majesty. And we all know what that means.
Skulduggery.
War? Now am I the only one who thinks that sounds cool?
*head slumps*
And hey, I just got myself arrested, and almost esucuted for you people. I know you broke me out, but that was after the pain and everything
Any thanks?
*DARK SIDE
*-FIRST
*exucuted
*puts hand on Zaf's shoulder*
If Ireland is stupid enough to go to war with you, count me in to fight along with you
THANK YOU NIX!!!! *digs up Special Purple Banana the Banana Lord gave me this morning and offers it to him*
Haha nice Ink.
And Zaf, I suggest that we just let them come to us. OR. WE can ally a few Sanctuaries. And be ready.
WHAT ABOUT MEEEEE???
An Englandiminion?
*looks at purple banana*
... You keep it. You deserve something for breaking me out
Guys, about the BLA- should I ask a Facebookian to count up the votes, so it's a surprise for everyone?
Against Ireland?
They have way to many allies to make this a fair fight. You've got to be quick. Take it out from the inside, before any other Sanctuary cane come and stop us
I think.....
*the Administrator comes*
oh god
*the exact words of the Irish Grand Mage*
i declare war against the Americans for their violence against us!!!
*the phone goes dead*
CALL A WAR COUNCIL!!!!
Yeah I healed you with my spit Nix, where's my thanks lol
ALLY THE ENGLISHHHHHH! That way L, Lynxia and Ink can fight on your side! The DARK side!!!
And we could ally England, Wales, and Scotland!!!
You could just pick people for certain awards who were nominated for them to tally up the votes
Does that makes sense?
YES, L!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!
@Nix: *tears come to eyes with happiness*
*hugs purple banana*
*runs off to bury it*
War Council! Calling now. We're calling the Sanctuaries of England, Scotland, Wales, Russia, Canada, Mexico, China, New Zealand, and Australia.
Any more???
Hey guys! Will be distant - am researching how to make Loki's helmet...
I've got someone in mind, to avoid bias! :D
ALLY AUSTRALIAAAAAA!!!
And Germany!
Meh im not gonna win any awards soo mmmk
The main Sanctuary is England. The ammount of allies...
At the moment they're with Ireland, but if you can convince England to help you, you have the upper hand. I wouldn't bet on it though...
Hi Lynxia!
SOUTH AFRICA, Dark.
Lynxiaaaaa *hugs*
Lads do anyone know about any of the Irish History?
Michael Collins was one of the greatest influences of Ireland's growth. But because he had different ideas and did thing differently, Eamonn DeValera ordered an assassination of Collins and he was able to do things his way.
No one ever found Collins assassin.
I think we need to pull a DeValera if we are to get through this war.
I have a plan!
*winks and rings my Grand Mage*
(He says he only has five minutes, so I'll see you all in five hours(: )
(NOT irl, btw)
Haha me neither. Mainly because I wasn't even nominated for any ;D You probably will, though Zaf :D
*back to reality, on the phone with the countries*
I would like to address the Sanctuaries of the world. We are at a crisis. The Irish Sanctuary has gone completely mad, and is torturing innocents, and throwing them into Gaol. They wage war against us. We are vastly outnumbered, because most of the American Sanctuary has been murdered.
WHO
IS
WITH ME???
You'lll never convince England, and more then half the people you listed are loyal to England. At the moment, they are the biggest threat
We have several powerful people in England. I hate to say it, but they're going to have to take over the Sanctuary
Australia? They're with England. Take England down, and you've practilly won this war
*hugs back* Hello!
I have taken matters into my own hands and soon, SOON, the helmet shall be mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MWU-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Canada, Mexico, China, and maybe Russia are on your side. Everyone else is with England, who is with Ireland
Oh, no I didn't mean wage against them. The books said that the whole world was ready to come in and take the Irish Sanctuary...
I think...its time to overthrow Ireland. They bloody idiots are trying to kill us!!!
We have 200 Cleaves....few sorrcers but a huge magical community. I know people who will help
*whistles loudly to get everyones attention and for everyone to be quiet*
Ahem, Nix, aren't you forgetting lives in England? You bring England down and I'll have to move away from my tea loving country!
Not all of England Lynxia, just the Sanctuary. Just for the time being, until we can take down Ireland, England has to stay down
I blew it up once...Blowing up the English sanctuary is fun! :D
And I'm sure the English can agree that Ireland is being foolish! They harbor the Death Bringer, Lord Vile, and Darquesse! I'm positive the English would happily assist us in bringing that fort down.
*stands*
You can make your war councils and everything, but I know to well that when the time comes, you'll be stabed in the back
England is the major threat. Take down it, and you've got Ireland. So, why you guys are discusing tactics and councils, I'll be trying to take down the English Sanctuary
Anyone coming?
Yeah I'm just gonna stand over there and watch you all bicker like school children.
English don't know where Darquesse is
They have an alliance.
No, I'm going to do something Em, instead of watching these people argue
Is no one with me?
*sighs*
SHUT UP!!!!!!!! Em has something to say!!!!
*has shadows ready*
NIX . . .
Whose side do I fight on in a war between you and my country? :/
If you want England to turn on Ireland, I have a plan.
Assassinate the English Grand Mage using an Irish Agent!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooh, blowing up the English Sanctuary sounds like fun! *puts on Loki's bad ass helmet* Let's do it!
*stands also*
You will certainly will now, Nixion. I can assure that England will not stab us in the back. In fact, I know two of the Elders on that Council, and they are very good friends of mine. And if we take down England, all of their Allies will pounce on us. And you know that it'll be over!!!
*is hoping that Nix and Adra are still cool in real life, knowing that this is all fake*
YES! DO WHAT EM SAID!!!
... Does England know you're not a Sanctuary agent anymore Em?
Em..... THAT'SS BRILLIANT!
Oh and...Us English have a possible Death Bringer...*wanders off*
*is knowing this is all fake, but needs it for the story*
No they don't
It's on a need to know basis between Pleasant and the Irish Sanctuary that I'm a fugitive
We do Luce?
*yay!*
EM, THAT IS SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA.
*hi Sugar!!! *hugs**
I like the idea, Em. But who here is Irish?
The act quickly, before England and Ireland can warn them of us. They know we're the threat
If you don't mind me recomending, we need to slpit up. Half of us help Em kill the Grande Mage, half of us need to infiltraite Ireland. Blend in, so when the moment's right, and Ireland's all alone, they can attack
Oh GRAND MAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEE did you hear what Em said ???!?!?!?!
*coughs sheepishly*
One Irish werewolf at your service Elder Dark
*I bow*
Hi Sugarplum!
Em, come with meeee! I can pretend to tour you round our Sanctuary!
Hi Sugar!
Em is Irish
Yeah...Apparently we do...Two possible DB's, actually...It's just been kept quiet. One we're not so sure about due to how unstable she can be...
I'm English.
Em, I'll go with you... With an Elder there, it'll look less suspicious
Lynxia, Star and anyone else English should obviously go with Em...
*looks at Luce* It's you, isn't it? 0_o
Whoa hang on Star. We need to really bash this out so everyone knows what they are doing.
Where has Zaf gone?
*hovers by Sanctuary entrance*
And Dark
The Irish know me, I can't hide in there. You need people they haven't fouhgt or arrested in Ireland...
plops
mine
Ooh!! I wanna go!! I want revenge!!!! THE NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE HAD TO LISTEN TO 'Blah killing is wrong blah blah blah morals and ethics blah blah blah' I'VE LOST COUNT!!!!
Why slow downnnnn? If we wait any longer Nix's nighttime will be over!
Hey Sugarplum!
Only one of them. I refuse to think I'm a death bringer. I only killed...*counts*....364 people in one day. *frowns* That's not very good.
The other one is the unstable one..
Australia is allied to England... and Australia is a cradle of magic, it's important
What do we do about Australia?
*Lads I hate to leave at the pivitol moment but I have to get my son ready for bed.
I will be back on in an hour and a half
*cries as I leave
I DON'T WANT TO GO*
See yas in a bit!
Oh right. 900 not 1000. Fail. Ok.
Yes, Nix... Are you implying... I'm sorry i'm really dim. What are you saying??
oh yes, YOUR HOLY EMINENCENESS OH ROYAL MAGESTIC AWESOME GRAND MAGE ZAFIRA
Bye Em!
It's four at night, and I need sleep. We'll continue plans later
Bye!
bye em!!
BYE EM!!!!!
Bye Nix!!! *hugs*
Bye, Em! Bye, Nix! :D
*should be doing work but is helping out with the FBA*
bye nix :)
Bye Nix! *hugs*
Who's the other Luce? Dish the Necromancer gossip for the Outcast will you!
FOURS EM! :(
. . . How about we kill the Gramd Mage later? Nix, you should go to sleep, btw. *pours sleeping potion on his head*
what were you planning ??
Bye Em!
I'm implying a few thing
People who the Irsh don't know are against them must go and position themselves so when the time is right, they can strike, hopefully even the grand mage and Pleasant
Fours Nix!
Now Bye!
I agree.
Okay... we shall continue plans later, and then resume as if no time has passed.
Okay. Can I leave for a while then? Bb in half am hour:) Fours.
Bye Star!
Bye ink!!!
Yes i gtg soon anyway. Soooo that works perfect.
Elder Dark, I completely heard Em. I believe this may work. Now, any of you guys come up with a BRILLIANT plan...by all means email meh: bellagaunt13@gmail.com
Now, I think its perfect! If Em kills the English Grand Mage England will be super pissed off and ally with us against Ireland. My god are we possibly starting WW3?
Well I do hope the Golden God sees this. He cant leave us be. Without WW3 beginning
I hear all kinds of gossip, you know that. I may have betrayed the temple a lil' bit, but people owe me favours...
And you'll never guess who the other one could be. There's been talk of it for a few days, now...
*jumps round Luce* I betrayed the Temple to! Now spill the beans, I wanna know!!
Bye, those that've left! *huggles*
Bye Zaf *hugs*
So... Who's left???
Oh, and Derek would be SO PROUD
Chill, Lynx. I'm pretty sure you know her. By that I mean, I know you know her. Very well, actually. *laughs slightly*
what r u planning... actually tell me later g2g
Bye, Sugar! :D
*arches eyebrow at Luce* Are you gonna tell me or not?!
Bye Sugarplum!
Bye Sugar *hugs*
You'd have to work it out. *grins*
Telling people things is much too easy!
*screams* AAAGGRRRRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!1
Right, I know her...
Necromancers I know in England-
Me
Luce (she's already one)
Erm... That's about it for people I can think of...
*looks at list then slowly at Luce* You have got to be kidding.
*laughs*
Hahaha
WB Star!
I worked it outttt!
Nope, not kidding. It's the latest of hot gossip with the necros. *smiles*
Apart from that really cute guy...Apparently he's got a crush on an elemental and they all kicked off at him about it...*laughs*
Unless you count rumors of a remnant's movement gossip...That doesn't interest me all that much. *shrugs*
I'm procrastinating. *grins* Csgd.
Haha I worked it out, also...
Hey, Starricleeee.
Im here just getting rdy to go soon.
Derek would be sooo proud. We managed to start World War 3 all on our own!
Holy... Mother... Of... Magic...
How the Hell can I be the DB I'm... Well look at me, and did you just call me unstable?!!
HAHAAHA don't be in denial, Lynx :D
And your Holy Eminence of Royal Majesty Grand Mage of America Zafira, watch thi actually happen...
DEREK! WE BEGAN WWIII IN YOUR NAME!!!
Well thats a shock...you gonna be my saviour? Hell kill Pleasant. It'd be nice if the English Temple sided with America
but, no. We have to kill their Grand Mage *shhhhh it's a secret*
Not a chance Zaf, you stole our language and then insisted on spelling colour wrong. Not gonna happen. (Jk ;) )
*laughs*
Yes, Lynxia, dear. I called you unstable. Though I only said what the rumors have been saying...!
*looks away*
*looks back at Lynx*
We better move...
*shadow walks closer to a tree*
Hah. Well you call french fries chips. And chips are called crisps. And the trunk of a car is called the boot.
AND YOU DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!! (i joke, I joke) XD
What are you saying, Luce? You saying I'm so 'unstable' I can't control her now?
I'm not saying you're so unstable that you can't control her. I am just saying she's the unstable part of you...*smiles* Then again...I can't talk, really. *small smile*
Well try to join us?? Please we are not losing to Ireland. I'll be killed!!!
*glares at Luce* Hmm... If you think I can control her then why did you back away?
I'll be honest... You both are really scary.. O.o
You won't explode the planet, will you??? At least, not until we begin WW3??
Plzzzzzzz
*hums and draws out the Banana-Marshmallow War on my arm*
uhhh..
*pulls out a Tardis from coat pocket*
DOOO DOO DOOOOOOOOO DOO DOO DOOOOOO
Because I don't trust myself, either. And I'm still injured - (irl, too).
