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...

okay, Dark. You can do this.
*steps out in awesome dress -as seen in photo- in front of thousands of people*
*nearly dies*
Okay, I'd like to thank the Academy for this award. Also, I'd like to thank all of my blog friends, for accepting me into the SP Fandom here, and giving me something to do this summer, and I'm going to name a lot of them as fast as I can starting now- Emerald, Zaf, Robin, Flame, Thrust, Kallie, Lav, Luce, Val, Car, Sel, Eve, Storm, Sparky, Hayley, Sabrina, Names, Dancing, Shell, Nix, Skyril, Lynxia, Flame, Star, AND SO MANY MORE!!!!!
This page is for all you guys *hugs*
Oh, and also dedicated to my future hypothetical cat, Nigel. Because, without his idea implanted in my mind, I would probably never get a cute fuzzleguzzle kittycat. Like so.
Again, thanks! Luv y'all!
*bows. Takes trophy of Skulduggery Pleasant. Pauses, raises glass*
Hear Hear!
*exits stage left
Nice Dark
Aww Nice Ded Elder Dark
Oh, good thanks. It took me like, 10 minutes to remember all of those names.
Thanks, your Holy Majesty of Royal Grand Mage Zafira Kerias of Sacred Honored Queenly Eminenceness.
Damn I get respect lol!!!
Sure Kallie!
Woohoo!
First name on Adra's deds list.
I rock!! lol
*nods*
I can't concentrate O.O
Kallie! THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! *the story, not the fail while standing up*
Kia ora!
SALVE, Myth!!!
p.s. to the whovians from earlier- here's a post with tons of tumblr gifs and hilarious DW pictures!
http://adrasdosdark477.blogspot.com/2012/04/you-know-youre-dr-who-fan-when.html
Niiice Em lol.
...That sucks. I have to go. Sorry.
Oh your Holy Majesty of Royal Grand Mage Zafira Kerias of Sacred Honored Queenly Eminenceness!!!
I has a questionnes. Uh, Um, er, what is your profile picture a picture of?
Bye Myth!!! Until next time!!!
Oh Zaf, I hate my story so much lol I feel like I'm losing the run of it.
Yet everyone is loving it too much for me to just get rid of it and now people are talking about me doing a SERIES!!!
That's just frightening :(
heehee. :D
That IS frightening
I know :(
I think I might cry.
noooo don't cry!!! *hugs*
we only said that you should make your story a series... You don't have to if you really feel uncomfortable with it... But we just think that it's flipping awesome...
Woah... I just suddenly realized something weird. Because Adrasdos is a character in my book, I have a lot of fluff stories about her and Max, her boyfriend... And now I realized that Adrasdos is *loosely termed* me.
So... I've got a made-up character for a boyfriend.
Odd...
At least he's cute. I hope. I mean, I wrote him that way...
Dont cry please dont...
Lol I just got the app for Blogger xD
I just fell asleep for a second then.
Lol Robin im hyyyyppppeeerrr
ROBIN!!!! YOU GOT COMMENT 4242!!! CELEBRACION!!!!!
*cringes, remembering*
*makes half hearted happy gesture* Woo
What're you remembering?
Sorry, just had an emotional breakdown there.
Thanks everyone.
I'm just so nervous cause I've never shown anyone my writings before.
* points up* Last comment, Robin... I don't want to write that again. Or I do. I don't know, I have mixed feelings. XP
and Em, it's fine! When I put up my first Fanfic I nearly got sick... ok, not really, but figuratively.
*hugs Em*
its ok
Robin- weird, right? I'm going out... With a character.
*flees from the scene*
Noooooooooo!!!!! Wait. I HAVE TO GO FIND SOMEONE!!! AHHHH
*runs!*
Oooh gosh....
Hope Derek returns soon....:/
*is offended*
I hope Nix comes back soon, so we can start WW3.
And I hope to find my Fiction boyfriend in the world of writing, where every character ever written lives.
And THEN, Derek can come :D
*opens portal, and jumps through*
I am now the proud owner of 29 audiobooks!
EPIC!!
*sighs*
derek must be busy. Though he is awesome! But hey I guess he needs to write xD
I don't think so Adra, then again nothing is weird to me anymore.
Night peoples!
Niiice Em...
OMG THURSDAY I AM PRE-ORDERING KOTW!!!!!
Haa took Dad forever to agree. I was like...on my hands and knees begging. Finally, he gave in. I am currently rereading SP again...I must. My goal isto finish by the time the release date comes. Then, my bloody LIST of people who want to read after me.
He ( being Derek) usually gets on around 7 our time..
*rolls out of portal, and is at Hogwarts.*
HP: IT'S A GRIFFON!
Me: DAMN!!! *opens portal, and travels the world, looking for Max. I find him at the Distance's infirmary, stitching up Rane Aire. I tackle him from behind*
Max: Adrasdos! What the hell are you doing! I saw you, like, five minutes ago! I'm stitching Rane up, again. We can talk when I'm done. *wags eyebrows*
*I run out to the lobby, freaked out. I sit on a bench. Around other people*
What... The... Hell...
Goodnight everyone x
Night, Robin!!!
_back in the fantasy world_
*Max walks out of the infirmary, and comes sits next to me. This is really creepy. I am not Adrasdos. Well, okay. I am, but she is a character, and I'm just-*
Max: Are you having a reality crisis again, dear?
Uh... No. Why do you ask? *I look around. KALLIE! ZAF! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Max: I've got reservations tonight at that restaurant you like.
Oh... Really? Thanks!
Max: See you at 8!
Oh CRAP THIS IS WEIRD... I want my own self back! GAHHH! THE ONE THATS IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!! *cries*
Night Em!!!!! *hugs* see ya!
Night Em
Haha cuz I was going crazy ^if you read above^ and Zaf said that she hoped Derek would be there soon.
yeah. I took it the wrong way on purpose
HELLO!
*starts stabbing people*
WHICH ONE OF YOU STOLE MY IPOD?!
Hey Val *air hug*
I'm commenting on the right post, right?
Hmm...I wonder what our comments look like to those everyday Skulduggery fans who happen to visit the comment section.
(>^.^)>The Dream Lives-THIS CHRISTMAS<(^.^<)
GET EXCITED!!!

It's really quiet... MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COME ONNNNNN
Sorry, I was busy running through my house, flapping my arms, and shouting "BUTTERFLIES DON'T NEED TROUSERS!"
But don't worry, I was wearing trousers.
*headdesk*
seriously. PEOPLE NEED TO GET ON! *hailing all Minions*
Working on chalk drawing
*gasp* I just chalked my hair... pink :D and I have a hole in the middle of my fingernail
It was from the first chapter of Kingdom of the Wicked, Kal :)
going to pretend I'm at high tea with my little sisters right now, be back in a little while!
Bye? Does anyone know what time it is over in NZ or Australia?
It's around 9:48am in Australia
Be back soon buh buh :)
Oh hi Eve!!!
Thanks Eve!
Bye Eve!!!
Hi!
Hiya Eve
Hi Zafira!
is it still quiet around here?
*is smashing giant green cymbals together*
Eve! That's not what I meant!!!! Haha no one has said a lot. Lately.
Hahaha... Our high tea was brilliant, and we recorded a video of us all pretending to be English... I was Valkyrie, Carissa was Clarabelle, and Jaida was Tanith (even though Tanith is the only English one...).
The best part was when I pretended to call someone, then said, "What? What do you mean you don't like me?"
gah. Seriously? The people I hang out with irl would never do that. Never ever ever.
*headdesk*
My friends would for sure (even though a lot of them don't like tea... FOOLS!), but it surprised me that my little sisters wanted to.
At the end we started glancing around and saying, "Oooh, when did that statue get here?" and "It looks like it's crying!" and "Did it just get closer?!" and then we panicked because there were Weeping Angels... XD
Hahahaha! Niceeeeee!
Don't blink.
I want to do something fun these holidays....
At the very very end we started moaning and falling over and saying "Ugh... Three bloody hours is too long..."
And then we died.
*farts a rainbow*
*raises an eyebrow*
okay........
*no don't eat it amanda!! it's not a real -
Okay fine I'm glad you like it...
It's so quiet here, I can hear my own thoughts.
*farts*
Here for a few minutes
Nix.
I... *choaks*
... I sorry!
I know Thrust
*pats shoulder*
I know
Now I gotta go
Bye!
Hiya people
I'm going to have to read it when I get back. It may be the second thing I do. I look forward to it very much.
Have fun, yourself, torturing everyone. Oh, and if you have to kill me, make it a nice death.
Or a terrible one.
Bye!
I'm going, cuz I have to
Damn :/
I'm BACK WITH A NEW UPDATE ON LEGACY!!!!!!!!
http://fantasttales.blogspot.com/p/legacy.html
Hiya!!!
Hey Zaf!!!! Howareya!
hi :D
Hey Hayley! Wazap!
Hiya Haley!
The roof ;)
Lol hey all!
I hope by "all" you mean only Zaf and I.
Because if you see other people... There may be something wrong.
Oh, God. Sorry. I'm soooooo tireddddd. It wasn't even remotely funny. *collapses*
What the....?
Oh god my friend just made me have an iPod chat with an annoying girl. It would've been torture, but luckily my displeasure in talking to her was overpowered by my pleasure in talking.
Uh-oh. She wants to talk again tomorrow. I knew this would happen....
You still here, Banana Lord?
Still here, Inky One!
Hello! *eats doughnut*
Hi Ivy and Banana Lord!
Hi Val!
I'm making a video
Coolio! What about?
Oooh, I love making videos!
I'll be back soon, bye!
*rides away on turquoise pegasus*
Fours Val!
Hmmm... Let's see, should I scare the crap out of my sisters again with my ankle that refuses to stop bleeding, or just not show them? Decisions, decisions...
SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!
AHA! IT WORKED! I SCARED THEM AGAIN!
I do this everytime I cut my ankle, which is far more often than you'd think. And since it's always a deep cut, It bleeds a whole bunch and runs down my foot... Perfect for scaring people!
*laughs*
*is frowning slightly* And now my ankle seems to be bleeding through the bandaid... That's the last bandaid, too..
Well, that's just dandy.
AHA! An opportunity to ask what bandaids are!
What EXACTLY are bandaids?
. . . Oh, never mind, I'll look it up on the internet.
*nods* Ah, okay. They're what we call plasters. Thought so.
Now I gtg. Fours!
They're, like, little strips of bandages... They're just called bandaids. Do you really not say bandaids in England? *can't imagine how I would live if bandaids didn't exist*
Dammit! My sister told me to press down on the bandaid to make the blood clot, so I did it for two seconds then pulled my hand away and the bandaid was blood soaked, along with my hand! GAH!
Bye Star, and thank you for telling me what you call them! I'll need to know for when I eventually go to England and run into everything...
Hello?
Here very briefly..
ANY1??
I'll be here if any1 comes on.... *disapears*
hi :)
hi val!!
only on for 15 mins
Hi Sugar, Eve, and L!

Well, she posted a little while ago...

hows life??
Oh well. I'll be distant, I'm watching The End of Time.
Life's living.
i love doctor who!! :)
i hope life is living
g2g
You would not believe that day I've had... actually, you probably would, it's pretyy believeable
Hello Nix!
Hi Val!
How are you?
Hello.
Hi Cal!
I am finally going to answer one of those questions... I am horrible
Hi Cal!
Horrible, eh? That's just lovely.
What sort of day have you had, Nix?
... And are you alright, Val? Your ankle that never stops bleeding is a bit worrying!
Hi everyone who came along while I was making ma vid
What happened Nix?
I'm fine, but I'm sure my ankle will start bleeding the moment I move the bandaid...
What are those things in castles that hold fires I. The halls?
Well, I got to sleep at 4 30, so I'm tired, then I didn't have any breakfast and went almost straight to this huge shoping centre. For 3 and a hald hours, I only sat down twice, once for 6 minutes, and the other right at the end for half an hour. I got new clothes for tomorrow (which look pretty darn good) and a new haircut (which deservs a thumbs up) but I'm still ugly, so that ruins the effect. So, about three hours sleep then three hours of almost non-stop walking... all I've had to eat for today is... nothing, I've had a fanta and a smoothie, which are both drinks
I'm beat
*half
Well then, that's quite an exciting day. But I'm sure you don't look ugly, Nix.
Oh, and to anyone in America, happy Independence day.
All I had to eat was a piece of pizza, which isn't so hot if the next time you get to drink is an hour from then
Oh yeah.
Sounds eventful. Nix, I doubt that you're ugly.
And go eat something.
Can't... to darn tired
Anyway I really need to know what those torch thingies are. You know the metal ones that hold fire in castles
They're torches, Thrust.
When I don't eat for a while or a whole day, when I stand up to go to the kitchen the world darkens and spins. And everyone tells me it feels perfectly normal to them.
That's how I feel when I don't eat... I stand up but fall right back over
Well, at least you did something constructive, Nix...
Are you SURE? This is LIFE OR DEATH, Val. LIFE. OR. DEATH!
Well, I'm willing to stake YOUR life on it.
The torches are in brackets or something, the metal things are called brackets I think, if that helps
Which reminds me Val, have you read the only story on my blog? Cuz if you didn't, you should.
It's a torch, Thrust
This still makes me crack up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O75mSgYLkaw&feature=fvsr
Oh my God Nix...
Huh Val?
UUGH!!
I'm trying to look up torch brackets on google images, but all it gives me is flashliiiights!!!!!!!!
Curse this stupid language!
*is laughing at dancing sea sponge*
I'll be right back, ahaha.
http://m.collegehumor.com/video/6751904/yes-or-no-game-show-with-regis-philbin
Oh my god I would so watch this if it were an actual show....
I remember that one, nix. Which is weird, cuz I never watch sponge bob
Oh my God as in 'Why the hell are you trying to make me laugh at 12:30 am?!'
Wow. Really? That's the first comment?
I dedicate it to Nix, because I was talking to him when I got first.
Yes!!!!
I love that eve
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty62YzGryU4

"You'll shoot me if I shoot myself? That makes no sense!"
OHMYGODMYANKLEISBURNINGANDITHURTSSOFREAKINGBAD

OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IT HURTS!!!!!
Put some ice on it
You know what I read, Val?
Oh my God my ankle is burning and thrust is so freaking bad.
There's no s though
Yes, ice. And pressure.
Your mind plays tricks when you don't want it to. You should know that.
I should
But I'm too dead
brb
Sorry, I ran off to go and find something to put on my ankle...
I was only slightly undignified with my frantic running into things to get over how much it burned....
*calls funeral home* Yep, they're all dead. Mmhm, make arrangements to have several funerals.
... I'm going to ingore that comment...
