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 601 – 800 of 4726 Newer› Newest»wait... Star, you're here. so Zafira didn't kill them. no one did!
Star Derek made the other Minions die cuz his lizzard self ate them and Random thinks I did it...
You aint catching me!!!!!
so I can stop the Faceless ones!
The Faceless Ones are in America? Well, that's okay, I'm in blogland. *is up tres leaning on tree beanch, gazing down the beach at the lake**
Die faceless ones, Die!
*faceless ones die, an international crisis is ended!*
and now to explain how I got to New York so quickly... hmm...
DEREK WAS A LIZARD AND THEREFORE HE CAN BE HERE!
*starts talking to Derek-lizard* No need to cry because they don't believe in you... Yes, you can eat them...
Hey, I have read all ya comments you know. *wraps one arm securely round branch and strokes the Derek-lizard*
Heyyyy . . . *has idea*
Fletcher is still getting his nose fixed from when Valkyrie punched him, so i didn't teleport...
any ideas?
You portalled to the blogland dimension Random, then portalled out of blogland to NY.
*goes to Derek-lizard*
dont eat me. I wont hurt you....
*strokes head*
Oh. Right. About punching him... he kind of deserved it, in my opinion, for being annoying.
Wait...
Wait...
Nope, nothing.
Come on people! the fate of the world is at stake. If i don't come up with a way of me having gotten to new york several minutes ago, i'll cause a time paradox and the world will cease to exist!
*peers down through leaves at Zaf stroking Derek-lizard*
So the Faceless Ones were attacking New York? Eh, that's on the other side of the country.
*is safe all the way in Seattle*
sure, he is annoying, but that won't stop a paradox!
*points to previous comment* There ya go, Random.
they had just gotten to the statue of liberty, but I realized that everyone was alive, so i killed the Faceless Ones.
Ah! It's like the Big Bang 2 all over again!
Um... you got there by transportation of my magical Necromancer unicorn, which shadow walked you there.
I can't portal! how would I do that?
*is safe in another dimension. The blogland dimension*
RANDOM, I TOLD YOU HOW YOU GOT TO NEW YORK SO QUICKLY.
I said, "You portalled to the blogland dimension Random, then portalled out of blogland to NY."
See Derek likes me....im nice!
Necromancers don't have unicorns!
Um... *is searching his memory for a way that he can do*
How to portal? Like this.
*blows a hole in demensions* *mortals start coming in*
Damn it, they come in everytime...
*sends Derek-lizard to eat them*
the world is destroying itself...
FINALLY! YOU NOTICED!
*is about to say something in answer to yoyr question but realises I was getting mixed up with the Mortal Instruments (MI) books*
Errrrrm . . .
YOU GOT THE SUPERLLAMAS TO CREATE YOU ONE!!!
valkyrie- my point exactly. we can't have done that in the past.
It's a NECROMANCER UNICORN! IT HAS NECROMANCER POWERS! For God's sake, USE YOUR IMAGINATIONN!
LLamas?
what SuperLlamas?
wait... I've got it! time paradox resolved.
*watches Derek-lizard nomming mortals* Never knew lizards were mortal-eating. Or is it only Derek-lizards?
Only Derek-lizards. Because they're cool.
Ooooh those!!!!
*stays underground in Temple*
don't everyone ask how I did it at once, okay! I know you're interested, but no prying!
*crickets chirping*
a little prying would have been nice
*horrified face* HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW OF THE SUPERLLAMAS???
You obviously have not known ME very long!
Superllamas are my mortal (and immortal) enemies.
mortal and immortal?
Too bad, no prying from me.
*drags Derek-lizard and Skulduggery into the TARDIS and makes the Doctor fly it away*
*nods* Derek-lizards are EXTREMELY cool.
skulduggery *died* when the faceless ones' portal was closed half an hour ago. and you cant bring TARDIS into this.
You know! People say mortal enemies, but what about IMmortal??? HMM???
and since you all desperately want to know, i realized....
that...
since...
time...
Im just picturing Derek reading this sipping tea thinking we are all insane
*shadow walks above ground*
its Billy-Ray!!!!
is..
I can do whatever I want.
*stands on top of a table and does random dancing with the Doctor, Derek-lizard, and Skulduggery*
mixed up...
in...
Blogland,...
there...
Ah, stop wasting comments and get on with it!
are...
other...
Why not, Random? I bring superllamas into blogland (well, they portal themselves in, but you know what I mean).
And Sparky brings Left 4 Dead into blogland.
Teleporters! Hurrah for me!
*points scissors threateningly at Random*
because skulduggery's dead for the next 11 months!
*points portal-remote threateningly at Random*
stop talking among yourself and congratulate me for my brilliance!
Well, yeah, there are more teleporters. *points to Ivy, who is another version of me* She can teleport. And do pretty much everything else.
stop threatening me, i told you already!
Yeah, well, I have the TARDIS with me now, and I can jump eleven months into the future.
thanks for your amazement and gratitude. but none of YOU came up with it!
But I like threatening people.
but i blasted it with the Scepter!
Im a Necromancer who is insane and OMGOMGOMG DREYLAN SCARAB!!!!!!!
WE ALREADY KNEW THERE WERE MORE TELEPORTERS HERE!
thanks for prying Valkyrie. finally...
That's not prying, that's pointing out the bloody obvious.
Well it was obvious.....
but you didn't say so, so you nearly caused the end of the world through a time paradox.
you're just jealous that I thought of it first...
after saving everyone...
but i didn't think of it before....
so i couldn't have done it...
time paradox warning!!!!!
just kidding... I can do something before i think of it....
and the teleporter was fast so i didn't see the teleporter, so it took me a while to realize what happened...
and aperantly the teleporter teleported the computer room, because I told you when I blasted them.
must be a better-trained teleporter than Fletcher.
this worked out wonderfully.
the prying was when you told me to get on with it while i was telling you how i did it.
It was probably Ivy. Who will now proceed to kill you.
*watches Ivy stab Random in the face*
I'm forgetting something...
Before the weekend... I don't like waiting. :( :L On the upside, I just got my exam results :)
what are you talking about now. i found the killer already, and it was no one, which is why I saved you all.
Gtg bbs.
darquess- that's the upside?
I'm talking about the better trained teleporter.
and now that we're nearly 100 comment's into this page, I remember! Dedication time!
oh.
And she is kind of, you know, stabbing your face.
This page is dedicated to...
Ameriminons, Most Loyal undercover agents!
and all you other people here, too
who don't get a special name...
because you're not that special...
or because you're not undercover.
o she isn't, I'm too busy dedicating.
*no
nt prufraeding comants enufh.
And she's too busy being a psychopathic murderer who belongs in an insane asylum. She'll stab your face all she wants.
I don't actually type THAT badly.
Yes, its an upside because I thought it would arrive while I was away and my mam would see it. But anyway, I got all A's yay! :) I REALLY was not expecting that :L
but she didn't and besides, shes not here.
suddenly hears a voice "no, I'm over here!"
excuse me while i deal with her (and get some lunch)
uses scepter on evil teleporter!
She's always here. She's MY character, and if I say she's here then she's here.
Ivy gives up, and random is free to get lunch.
so long.
your pet character. like fletcher :L L)
And then Ivy teleports out of the way of the Scepter and she rips your arm off.
Ivy never gives up, you little turd. She's Ivy.
I hope my story was alright...I was proud of it being EXACTLY 500 words XD (Including your 50 words)
If you read it, I will be SO HAPPY.
No, i got her to submit and become my friend. she works for me, now.
and now for lunch!
The Scepter tends to change people's minds.
and now really to lunch.
Darquesse.....*screams*
If you actually read the story, you would know that
1. She has no friends
2. She's evil
3. She's sick of working for people
4. She can kill you without even trying
5. She never surrenders.
And you are a dingleberry.
*still screaming*
*puts a rock in Zaf's mouth*
*takes rock out abd faints*
......
Going for a little bit now, if Zoe comes on tell her to be prepared to offer her soul to me. Bye
*wakes*
ok!!! I just didnt see Darquesse......
Why are u screaming?? :L
You....Darquesse you...kill world...
.....
Ello
Ello
Hello?
I decided I need to return everywhere and I need to stop running away from problems. I need to face them all. *nods*
GUYS. I AM RAISING AWARENESS FOR AUTISM! Autism is a disability and affects so many people worldwide! My brother has asd, himself and so I am affected by it. Autism is a disability that is often overlooked and so many people that are autistic are just referred to as 'naughty children' and I can't stand that. I believe that if we raise awareness for autism we might be able to help everyone that're affected by autism and autistic children themselves! If we work together we can help to improve the lives of those who have to cope with this disability every day! <3
My mom works with autistic kids and I helped raise awareness my orthodontist asked us to wear the colour blue and every kid that did he donated to raise awareness. I wore blue braces
The colour for autism is rainbow colours. The ribbon is a rainbow jigsaw to show the spectrum of it all and the jigsaw is there because people think of those with autism as puzzles.
I would love to make a difference and I am raising awareness and money for NAS! <3
Similar to America except its blue but the jigsaw is there and everything.
No, it's the worldwide one I am talking about!
I wish Derek was here, right now..
Oh that one! Ok sry was confused....
Yeah I kniw I do wish Derek was here
My younger sister helps the autistic kids at her school...
If Derek was here I'd scream.
*is playing fetch with the Derek-lizard*
Haha, it's fine. C: I just want teachers to realise that discipline can't cure autism and that they're human, too! Autistic people are still human and they've got feelings, too! <3
GAHHHH. DEREK POOF INTO BLOGLAND?
So many people are affected by autism, yet the world is so ignorant to it...
I know.....
Derek get on please
I don't see why he couldn't come on... It's only about 7:20 at night for him.
I HAVE TO GOOOOOOOO. D:
Bye, guys! *hugs*
CYA LATER! C:
Also, if Derek comes on...
HELLO, DEREK. I'm really annoyed that I can't meet you AGAIN, this year. I'm still rather annoyed about that...Le Gang won't be able to meet up at all, this year): Which is a serious shame. Unless Ellie somehow found some reason to come to England...But, I doubt that. ANYWAY, next year *fingers crossed* I get to meet you...HOPEFULLY I WILL. BUT UNTIL THEN I SHALL CONTINUE COLLECTING SP BOOKS AND ATTEMPT TO BEAT BECKY...Only 13 more books! Cx
ALSO, YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF AUTISM. I hope you are, if not get yourself looking it up! C:
BAI. *hugs*
P.S. BAGUETTES. - wait until you hear the whole bagels and rainbows thing... *laughs*
NOW I AM GONE. *poofs*
Bye L!
OK, is this working? Hello?
*sighs*
I check EVERY day to see if it's working, and it hardly ever does. Stupid not-loading pop-up thing, followed by stupid not-loading pop-up thing again when I try and post a comment...
Hi Dragona
It isnt that late.....unless the cats are deciding to keep Derek off. Or nieces are needing to be cuddled. I swear he has A LOT of nieces....
Wait, it's working? Yay!
Hey Val. Is it OK if I call you Val? So much easier than saying Valkyrie V. Cain.
HEY ALL!!
How is everyone!?
Hi Drogona
Yes, Val is fine. So is Valkyrie. So is Darquesse. So is Ivy. So is Stormaggedon, the dark lord of all's best friend.
So yeah, Val is fine.
Hiya NJ!
Hi NJ!
Hi Zafira! Your name reminds me of Saphira from the Inheritance Cycle - I'm reading it atm. *nods*
Hey Val *hugs*
How're you?!?!
Didn't get to speak to you last night, I needed to get to bed! Anyway... How's you?!
Val, I'm going to call you... just Val. Or maybe The-Person-Who-Has-Many-Names.
And Zafira, it's DrAgona. Not Drogona :P
Hey Dragona.
I see you are now able to comment. Well done!
I knew you would figure it out eventually.
Hey Zafira!! Where ever you are :P
I'm dandy. School got out Monday, whoo hoo! And right now I'm attempting to write a story about me and Derek escaping from the evil ninjas who work against him...
Im here!!! Im just counting down until Barnes & Nobles calls. Then my bookshelf isnt missing The Faceless Ones
My shelf is missing my other copy of Mortal Coil - the not signed one - but that's because my sister is taking FOREVER to read it.
Ik NJ, I'm proud. And it wasn't a case of figuring it out, it was a case of my laptop is being a bloody mess and it needs punching.
I won't punch it, though, because it's a good laptop. But it still malfunctions when it comes to pop-out things.
Kewl!! I'm just back from Paris yesterday!! School trip and all. Then I was in school today doing controlled assessment. And I was constantly making bitchy comments to my teacher, and he didn't say a word about it to me! And even though tomorrow is the last day officially, I'm not going in. My skirt ripped so I have nothing to wear :P Oh the Joy
Mine ijust needs The Faceless Ones. Then since we pre-ordering KOTW ill have it for school xD i got a rule when reading SP..if you are dying you only bother me
Paris? Cooooool!
Well at least that's that sorted. For now anyway. You never know with technology.
I never end up reading it for the first time at school... I always finish the whole book within a few hours. I read all of Death Bringer in four.
Yeah it was so pretty!! I loved it so much!!
I have all the books signed. And the first book twice, one not signed and the battle cards.
I am having trouble finding poster though. :/
I read DB in 5. It would have been less, except my dad kept drawing me away from it.
ISP in the middle of the night I was in the hotel bathroom reading Death Bringer. :P
Afraid I have nothing signed. Oh well. I know one day I will meet Derek. I know I will.....:/
I haven't got anything signed. BUT Derek did once read my fanfic... and then called me an oddball because I made a character kill a vampire with a sock... so I guess that's something to be proud about. *nods*
A... A sock??
Really??
*bursts out laughing*
I have used Syringes in some of my stories :P
A MASTER CAN MAKE A WEAPON OUT OF ANYTHING.
SARTHACUS IS THAT MASTER.
And yes seriously, a sock. Derek commented about it on his post a while ago. ^^
I've got the whole series signed from when he sent them to me for when I had the party thingy... I don't know which story of mine he read but I asked him if I was a good writer and he said that he hasn't had time to read all my stories but he's read enough to know I have talent. :D
Ooooh the things said and done in my THG fanfics....
I see JJ, "JJ take the kids." I call carrying Erin up to the roof.-Josen
Lucky!! He hasn't read anything of mine. :'(
Maybe if he did he would know Fletcher and I are getting married and all :P
Ewww... Fletcher
I would marry the 11th Doctor, though.
Don't start. You have your opinions I have mine. Plus doesn't Val say she still cares for Fletcher?? And wants to be his friend?? Mm? JS
Also. Blogger is screwing up my computer. Have to go now, then. Will try and comment again soon.
Bye!
We had this conversation back in September, didn't we? I think I started attacking people... Yeah, I killed Rachel with scissors...
Trying to remember if that is David or Matt...
Meh I want to rwad KOTW already xD
Bye Dragona!!
@Val: if you don't like fletcher that's fine, you dont see me killing you for liking Valkyrie do you?? :P
So do I!! Especially after reading the 1st chapter!! It was hilarious!!
Well, no. But... Meh, I just don't like Fletcher.
And the 11th is Matt. He's so awesome... If it weren't for River I would have kidnapped and married him already.
Im so confused!!!!
Oh, I SO want to read KOTW... I will attack Derek for it!
Confused how?
Never saw Doctor Who...
Ah. Well, Matt Smith is the 11th Doctor and I want to marry him, but he's already married to River Song...
What is Doctor Who about?
Well, there's this guy, The Doctor, and he's a TimeLord. Basically, he goes through time and space fighting aliens and monsters and other awesome stuffin his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), which is his time machine. Whenever there's a new Doctor, it basically means that the Doctor regenerated, so he's almost a brand new person - new face, new body, new personality. The Doctor usually has a companion with him who's human to make the show more fun.
And his companion is ALWAYS female.
*noms banana*
OOH, NEARLY NEW PAGE:)
Csgd.
Wow, I'm commenting REALLY fast:)
Well, not Rory.
I should get writing . . .
Sorry, I'm back. I was reading an e-mail. Any who HEY STAR!!
How're you??
Also, I'm not that fond of River, I LOVE the 10th and 11th doctor!! They are both AWESOME!! And it is either Rose or Amy as my favourite companions!
Rory doesn't count. The Doctor has one main companion, plus maybe a few extras. Like Rory.
HEY NJ! I am . . . I don't know. How're you?
Okay, distonating NOW. Might suddenly un-distonate.
Wheeeeeee! First!
I dedicate this page to Doctor Who, because it is the best TV show ever created in all of the universes that the Doctor visits, and because I love Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor. I also dedicate it to Derek, for writing Skulduggery Pleasant, which brought me to the Blog, which led me to meet everyone here, and also led me to watch Doctor Who.
Well, I think River is possibly one of the coolest characters, but I just wish she didn't marry the Doctor...
And Amy is by far my favourite. Amy ROCKS!
Pity I will never probably get one of my books signed.
WHY U NO COME TO SOUTH AFRICA, DEREK LANDY?
Seriously, Master. We humbly request you visit your AFRI-Minions. ("we" as in me)
I'm good!!
A bit tired and Pissed off at some stuff. But apart from that... YEAH I am really good :D
Hi Vlaedr! *throws a turkey at his face*
Hello Vlaedr, have we met?? If not HI NICE TO MEET YOU. If yes, HI IM SOORY I DON'T REMEMBER IT MUST HAVE BEEN A WHILE :D
The time lords returning, the earth will be burning, the last white point star is a trap for the Master
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
The Doctor is dying,
I don't want to go...
Evening all
I hope I'm not interrupting
Greetings, oh mighty Name Master!
I remember that!!
I love the Fact he wants to be ginger!! :P
I love Ginger hair on guys, especially Rupert Grint (Ron from HP) and Ed Sheeran, possibly the sexiest Ginger alive!!
Hey Em!
Hello Emerald, Nice to meet you *shakes hand*
