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 1601 – 1800 of 4726 Newer› Newest»*sees Em is in biiiig trouble*
*tosses knife at Zaf's hands, unwilling to kill her nut hoping to disable her*
CELLO!!!!!! Val, you have a VERY bad memory. No offense. I've lost count of the number of times I've told you this.
*but
*attemps to sneak up behind Zaf*
She is stopping me from editing.
Just try and get the keys off her.
Damn necromancer!
*suceeds in sneakiness mission*
*is standing right behind Zaf wondering what to do next*
Oh, KEYS. *sneakily reachs down to sneak keys off Zaf's belt in a sneaky fashion*
*twusts Star's hand and breaks it*
no.
Yeah, I guess I do have a bit of bad memory sometimes... If I see something in real life I can remember it really well, but on here sometimes it's hard to remember :/
But anyway, CELLO IS THE BEST!
*slowlys starts easilyvthe keys towards me . . . *
AAAAAARGHHH!!!!!
*gasps* Yeah . . . Cello . . . Best . . . Val. *is hopping around clutching hand in agony*
*grabs keys*
Nope, Em does this count as assult on a Sanctuary offcial?
Jesus Zaf!!
Are you alright Star?
*keeps head and grips Zaf's arm with good hand, pouring ink into her blood* MWAH. Let's see how YOU like ink poisoning!
NO! I have a broken hand, how can I br all right???
Nice of you to ask though.
Ink poisoning??
*gulp*
No...
*slashes Em with shadows then unshackles*
Happy?
*strains against the shackles*
Come on Zaf, you've had your fun, that's enough.
I unshackled you
*pulls the ink back out of Zaf's blood and banadages up hand*
*punches Zaf in the nose*
You were almost facing kidnap charges against you.
Now I'm going to delete that crap chapter and there's nowt you can do.
*shackles Em again*
guess I will be charged with kidnap
*feels weak as my powers are bound*
Damn necromancer!
*grins*
even Derek knows not to trust Necromancers! Haa I think...*grabs Em and shadow walks to the Temple*
does THAT count as kidnapping?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! MY NEW SONCI SCREWDRIVER JUST CAME AND IT LOOKS AWESOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!!
*pulls out 11th Doctor's screwdriver and starts playing with it*
*starts to kick and stuggle against the shackles*
HELP!!!!!
*uses screwdriver to unlock Em's shackles*
RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!
*stabs with shadows*
*hisses* quiet!!!! I told the High Priest I'd hand him a Sanctuary agent. You'll be that agent....
I hearby declare that this date, 28th of June, shalt be know henceforth as Healing Day, as it is the day that the location Blogland is comsidored Fully Healed. Blogland took a great mental battering a few months ago. There were the terrible Cycles. One of which was the Anger Cycle, in which many Minions got angry at each other; moreober, Blogland was not so nice as before. Perheps the best known is the Depreession Cycle, in which many of the Minions felt overcome with sadness; this then in turn left the other Minions feeling low in spirits. Needless to say, Blogland was not so cheerful a place to be. Many of the Minions attempted to heal Blogland, but it was a fragile peace, one in which the slightest little thing could result in Minions yelling at each other to be happy. Eventually we got over it, but gone was the fighting, the messing around in the lake. Talking filled most of the Bloglandian's conversations. It was a very nice Blogland, but not QUITE how Blogland should be. However, I know think we are back to how we were before. Completely Healed. We are behaving as Bloglandiams should behave again. And so I name the day Healing Day, least we should all forget how dark Blogland once became and how joyous it was to have it back again.
Cheers Val!!!
*looks confused. Can't find way out of temple*
Derek???? Is Kenspeckle - WAS Kenspeckle - an Adept?? He was, right? I just wanna make sure
And where in Australia did Fletcher go? Was it Adelaide? *bats eyelashes* Hehe. Nah, I bet it was Sydney, wasn't it?
Aaaaaaaand I just realized I totally stuffed up all chances of winning the create-a-character competition. I know it's done and over with, but *sniff sniff* nevertheless
Like my speech, peoples?
It might disappear though. Long comments of mine often do.
Hello All!!
How is everyone??
That'd be fun to create a character....I never got the chance to try...:/
*shadow walks out of temple and in the tree*
Star, I didn't notice any of that. Blogland's always been the same to me.
*high fives Star*
Blogland is finally back to the way it was.
Well, almost.

*sits in corner of shame*
*sits beside Zaf*
What's wrong with you?
My floor is really uncomfy . . .
I failed my mission to the High Priest!!!!
Why does he need a Sanctuary Agent?
Msfa . . . (Eve's invention - might suddenly fall asleep)
I......
Uhm....uhmm...
*whispers* to try to take over Ireland
I want to break the table because this thing is driving me crazy...
*sighs* It's not safe here on the floor. Mum or dad might catch me. Going now. Fours.
And a werewolf agent is good enough?
What will happen if you don't go back with an Agent?
Understandable, anybody would be proud to be associated with Ireland as it is awesome!!
I gtg brb....Em only has permission to shackle me or Derek
Okay Zaf.
I'm assuming that's a good thing that I'm only allowed shackle?
NJ will you comment on my blog and tell me what you think? Please. I don't learn if I don't get feedback.
Okay, which one do you want me to read??
Dublin Daes please
Okay, I'll get to work :)
Cheers NJ, your a star
I wonder where Zaf is gone?
AHA! I GOT IT TO OPEN!
*was seriously going mad a few moments ago*
I was getting worried for your table there for a minute Val
I almost broke that table when I punched it... Hopefully the table will forgive me.
You never know with inanimate objects, they sneak up on your when you least expect it.
This is the best toy ever :D
Now I have two sonic screwdrivers. The 10th and 11th Doctor's... :D
I'm gonna head to sleep now, my jaw is killing me.
If Zaf comes back on, tell her to come looking for me tomorrow ok?
Good night blogland
Adios Em.
Just got on...I did say I was eating...but I guess tomorrow I'll hunt Em down
....
Im going to practice...byez
Bye Zaf
HELLO/GOODBYE GUYS AND GIRLS!!!!
OF TO GO WATCH A MOVIE AND FANGIRL ABOUT DEREK SPEEKING TO ME NDI,BJVHXVGJXKGFV.
Oh and Derek could you say happy birthday to my friend. She is a massive fan. Her name is Emily and her birthday is on the 3rd of july. Thank you.
I send my friend a picture of a super-cool sonic screwdriver and the first thing she points out is the fact that my walls are purple... XD
Derek, I love how when Tanith is fighting the troll she says "Nuts" instead of a swear, but it says she curses a few paragraphs before...
Hello?
'Ello! *throws pies*
*blocks pie*
i have indigo flowers
*scowls* I hate when people block my pies...
WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE THEM? HMMM? WHAT IF... uh... Let me think... WHAT IF YOU WERE A PIE AND SOMEONE BLOCKED YOU?
Yes, yes, that sounds good...
Ooooh can you give the flowers to me? *bats eyelashes*
well... it was going to hit me in the face
there virtual so... no
I know your face wants to embrace the pie. I just know it.
Virtual? Darn... *creates an oath to kill the virtual flowers*
You should so make the picture of you at high tea your profile picture... It would be epic.

Yay! I get to murder virtual stuffs! *starts cleaning weapons*
Do you know how to change it? Just click on your picture and then hit edit profile, then you should be able to pick a photo...

Lava or fire? Decisions, decisions. Fire, I choose you! *throw pokeball*

Yaaaaaaaaay, I'm awesome!
Now, to think up a dedication...
since when were ther commas in the # of comments??
ooh, hi val.
dang skeletons
dang skeletons
dang skeletons
aghhhh repost
I dedicate this page to writing.
Writing's awesome. Whether we like to do it or not, we have to at some point, and I for one think it's fun. Well, not essays... But most of the time, writing can be very helpful. For example, if Derek didn't write his books then no one would've met on here, and that would seriously suck. He's also inspired a ton of us to write too - and it's a great way to use your imagination. If you ever think of something cool, even if it's not too great but still up there, be sure to WRITE IT DOWN! You might find it later and see how brilliant you are...
Hi, terragon
haha. It's like what val did, only you did it by accident.
Terragon, if you don't wanna repost then only hit the button once and it'll only post once.
