Okay then...
For those of you who have read KOTW, first of all, I'm glad you seem to be liking it, but I'm going to have to ask you to be careful. And for those of you who haven't read it- which is the vast majority of you- I'm going to have to ask you to be EXTRA careful. There are spoilers all over the place, on forums and Facebook pages and Tumblr...
The heartening thing is that these spoilers don't pop out of thin air. Everything is tagged with spoiler warnings, which I really appreciate. But I know you lot. I know how impatient you can be. I know that if you're on a forum and you come to a post that's hidden behind a spoiler warning, and all it takes is one little click... I know how tempting it is to just sneak a teeny tiny peek...
Which could ruin the entire book for you.
We have, what, 35 days until it's widely available? That's a lot of days for mistakes to be made, or for something to slip out...
So be careful. I was never a fan of releasing this book so far in advance of the Ireland/UK date but I was convinced it was necessary in order to facilitate the tour. If it doesn't work out, it won't be happening again. I don't know what that would mean for any future Down Under tours, but I'll deal with that if it crops up.
So, I want to thank everyone for behaving themselves as far as spoilers go, and ask that they continue to be very, very careful about what they say.
And also, some of those spoilers (of which I am allowed to read, because, y'know, I wrote the book) and your reactions to them have made me grin...

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 4879 Newer› Newest»... Shuddered Sir Reingington!
I talk in second person. I don't talk to myself, exactly. But rather, I act as my own conscience/critic and Eve talks back. Everything I do is astonishingly unjustifiable, and all I can come up with to defend myself is "Oh we'll, you know me". That's around about the time I start insulting myself
Nix is no imposter. Nix will fight for his honour, unless you apologise to Nix
Ink wonders what abscond means.
Nix does that as well Eve, but Nix feels like doing this right now
*well
*blinks at Sir* You are a strange, strange, moustached man.
Very well, but I shall not give you the honor of telling you my name! Shouted Sir Reingington!
Have at you!
Star thinks this is funny. :)
And fun. Funny and fun.
Me back but still playing Amnesia.
...
*Nix punches Sir in the nose*
Hah! I lost my nose in the war years ago! Fear my nose of iron! My neck muscles are incredibly strong because of it!
...
*punches Sir in the soul*
AAAAGRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run run run run run run!!!!!!!!11 Monster!!!!! Do not want, nope, do not want.... Keep running...
Ink says WB to Lynxia and wobders whether to join in the fight.
Star guesses Lynxia is still playing Amnesia?
I might join the fight... Depends whether I survive this round of Amnesia.
*trips Lynxia* Whoops.
And as for you Nix, you can never stop the plain of Sir Reingington! The void will consume all, just as the Dark Prognosticus predicted! All worlds, all people, everything will cease to exist!
*maniacal laugh*
Lynxia, be calm. Be calm, stay calm and KICK THAT MONSTER'S CREEPY LITTLE ASS! SCREAM AT IT TO STAY OFF YOUR TURF AND HIT IT WITH A CHAIR!
You're right Star, that monster is messed up. *has taken mind off game for a moment and nearly died* NOOOOOOO!!!1 GO GO GO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Nix forgot to mention he is part Faceless One. He can reawaken all his Faceless One genes if he wants, becomeing as strong as a Faceless One, but smarter
Good idea Eve, I'll try it when it's close. I'll chuck chairs at it then run while it's being a dick.
Ink has decided that this void thing sounds bad, but isn't sure whether she's bothered enough to attack Reinington over it.
*Nix rips Sir's soul from his body*
*Nix kickes it like a football*
Hang on... *turns slowly to Rein* What did you do? If you did anything I swear to the Slender Man I will mangle your face worse than the Amnesia monster.
Star hopes that Nix WON'T go Faceless One again!
You think petty madness gods could stop a never-ending force of pure nothingness? So abstract that it's very presence will consume you and remove all trace of you from existence? The true end of all worlds? No, says Sir Reingington. This has gone too far. Goodbye Nix, and may we fight again, like two unicorns goring each other in a glade at midnight! *Flies away*
I've always wanted to do that.
Ink tells Lynxia that what Sir did was laugh manically and points upwards to where Sir said *manical laughter*
. . . Star feels: ? :/ Ohhhhhkay . . .
Nix is more then a unicorn, puny void
Ink says fours to Reingington.
She is a little tired of speaking in third person now . . .
Sir Reingington, I'm going to kick your ass.
You know how scary games and movies seem super cool until you get into bed I'll be and it's pitch black and deathly quiet and you regret ever watching/playing that scary movie/game and you vow to never watch/play a scary movie/game ever again??
This is one of those moments.
Star says, "So, if Nix is MORE than a unicorn . . . Then he is a unicorn + other stuff . . .
O_O Never knew you were a unicorn, Nix."
Ahahahahahahaha! Again, for dramatic effect! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And now Elaisse, you have finally come out to play, like a late-sleeping toddler! Now we duel, like two gleaming banjos on a moonlit stoop!
*Ink looks at Elaisse and groans*
See, it's times like these when you just think,
"Names ending with E give you permission to beat people around the place"
*throws shadow dagger* Shut up, your petty speeches bore me*
*Star wonders what the hell a stoop is*
Do you think the similes were going to far? Oh well. I abscond!
@Eve: *Star laughs*
You know, I'm more powerful than any true name form.
Oh boy...
"FOR THE MILLIONTH . . . ER, SECOND . . . TIME, WHAT ON EARTG DOES ABSCOND MEAN???" shouted Ink.
This is interesting. *inspects the Faceless One* Very interesting...
Star, shall we join in?
Abscond is a bit like abiding, or going south. Did that help, remarked Sir Reingington smugly.
*gives up the third-personing*
*take one look at the destructive beings and buries all my unburied bananas to keep them safe*
*thinks*
*buries self*
*laughs* Wise Star, very wise. I do not believe that Sir has the same intelligence.
If you wish, Master.
The void does not have intellegence? Fancy that
You may be a Faceless One, and you may be a true-namer, but we are people of the Banana, and we are so much stronger.
Star, I believe I gave you a flamethrower...
*bananas turn to mush*
You're insane, and not in the good way
*unburies self and gets out flamethrower*
People of the Banana? *laughs* How... Quaint. *grabs Eve and holds her by her nick above the ground*
*looks at Star*
Are you sure you want to get out of the ground?
I have an infinite supply of purple bananas.
And I'm not insane.
Elaisse! Eve is mine to abuse alone! And maybe for Nix as well, if he apologies for trying to kill me!
*turns all bananas black and rotten*
You were saying?
Ellaise, I don't pretend to know what quaint means, but you look a little tired. Banana?
Well, fancy that. I got out my brilloant email-gift, aka the fkamethrower, before I saw Eve told me to.
THE BANANAS ARE PROTECTED BY THE BLOGLAND SOIL! THEY CANNOT MUSH!
I don not care who is yours or what, Sir, and I will abuse who I wish. *kicks Sir*
Infinite, Faceless One. Go get a dictionary before you embarrass yourself...
I punched you in the nose. And the soul. And took your soul out of your body
Okay, maybe I did play with you. But if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead
Yes, and I turned all of them to mush and rotted them Eve
You have no idea what I can do.
Ha. I reckon I was sending you telepathic messages, Superstar :P
*chokes with laughter at Eve offering Elaisse a banana and sends a jet of flame at Elaisse* LET GO OF MY MASTER!!!
I reckon you were, Master. *turns the flames on Sir*
*flamethrower turns to ash*
I'm going to have to kill you now. Because I feel like it
*sighs*
in·fi·nite
Adjective:
Limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate: "an infinite number of stars".
You cannot mush all of them if they have no limit...
Eve, I bend the rules of pysics and reality. I can do anything
*hands Star another flamethrower* Infinite supply, naturally
*continues holding Eve and waves hand like the flames are a minor inconvenience* You do not know what quaint means? Maybe it is you who should get the dictionary?
*shadows shot from hand and put out flames, they then go for Star*
*jumps and stares in horror at ash all over hands* MY PRESENT!!!! :( IT WAS ONLY TWO DAYS OLD!!!
And none of them exsist anymore Eve
Can you now? WELL. Can you give spoilers to your fellow bloggers? Can you do that?
Faceless One, you certainly can't pick out a good outfit to wear. How cheap is that suit? I mean, really, I thought a god would have access to higher fashion.
I can
But I do not feel like it
You don't feel like getting dressed properly in the morning?
Slob.
*laughs* Sir, is this what you have been reduced to? Petty insults! Ha, you are so mindless.
*frowns* Ellaise, it's pitch-black, I can't read a dictionary. You need a clock.
Faceless One, you obviously live in your own little reality where everything can be done and only you can do it. Go to sleep now
I am mindless. I sold it to a guy in a back alley when I was visiting Bangladesh.
Sir, this suit is made out of death.
Oh, speaking of fashion, nice moustache. It's the best feature of you, but that's not saying much
Maybe quaint is an Englishy word.
YAY! *grins and hugs new flamethrower*
*manages to block shadows with ink for a few second, then dives behind tree*
*destroys tree as I flame the Faceless One* Whoops . . .
Eve, this is my reality. Everything is my reality
Certainly. When most people first see me, they can only stare in wonder at the festival of hair that dances upon my upper lip.
Well, if they actually look at your face, they might be blinded
*waves arm and sends Sir slaming into the ground*
Eve, my dear, here it is bright and fairly sunny. Maybe it is you who needs the clock.
GROUND. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS. NO TOUCHY! Anyways, I'll be right back. I have to whip the ground for a bit with a cat-o-nine tails.
*moves finger slightly and Star is raised into the air*
No, i think you'll find that there are several realities of which you do not own because the residents voted against it. You're far too irritating
Ellaise, maybe you need an education on how the world works, because in Adelaide, it is midnight
It's pitch black under the treee!!!!! *flames Sir*
Residents of those realities are dead. I killed them
I think it's my constant killing them that annoys them
The world is of no matter to me as it will soon be mere dust at my feet. *throws Eve into a tree and moves towards Star*
*treees
Gtg:(
Fours, Master. *doesn't say bye to my eneniess*
I think that it's your face, or lack thereof. *goes back to whipping*
*tears Star apart*
Now there's nothing to say bye to
And Star is gone. Whatever. I must go now too! Bye bye! Until next time I try and kill you... *shadow walks*
No Star, don't leave me here! They're not going to stop TALKING! *whines*
*sits in tree and pouts*
Bye Elaisse! I'll have fun destory everything about you
Bye Lynxia!
In fact, it being past 12 30, I shall be going as well. Kill you all another time
Bye!
That was strange...
Remarked Sir Reingington.
Well, back to consuming all worlds and that stuff.
*munches banana*
Why consume worlds when you can munch them?
Because I have a tragic back story that requires me to do so. And it's fun.
But munching is just as fun! Munch a bunch of bananas!
While bananas ARE nutritious and tasty, my back story requires me to consume. Plus, if I didn't use the void to consume everything, then where would all the drama go?
There would be a horrible imbalance of drama in the universe, and a bunch of bad Soap Operas would appear as a result. What would you rather have? The erasing of the existence of everything ever, or a bunch of horrible TV shows?
....Do I really have to choose?
Yes. Even though the fate of the world doesn't really depend on it. It's pretty much going to happen anyways.
Alas, I must be off. Farewell, farewell!
And then there was one. All alone. It's the perfect time to... Sign off as well. LAST!
I ordered it from amazon... But it is not coming till 4th September!!!! :'-(

Hi people! Wbd, working on competition entry. I've done maybe two thirds of a page . . . My last one was seven pages.
*has just sent an email to everyone taking part in The Competition that I have the email address of telling them challenge two is up, in case they're like me and didn't know* Yeah, I'm nice.
Unlike you lottttt.
So, I'm back from the bookstore.
heyyy
I was bitten by a caterpillar. My dad say to think of it as a baby butterfly, but now I just don't like baby butterflies O_O
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaark!
Bsoitheaaaaaaaa!
~glomps~
Sir Reingington!
Pleasure to make your acquaintance!
~Hums~
You know, this would be the one time that I write poems after ages of not, and then my dad comes into the library with me -_-
I really needed to post them too... Well, at least one of them... Maybe two
They're important... Especially one of them, but I can't pull out my notebook and start coping them down because... you know who is here...
No..., no not Lord Voldemort.
Where ARE you guys?
~wonders why Blogland and chatzy are becoming so quiet~
It must be because we're constantly doing something else at the same time as we chat instead of focusing on chatting with friends.
KALLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!
~glomps~
~applauds~
Oh, I'm alright. Annoyed that I can't post the poems the one time that I need to -_-
Oo, and I was bitten by a caterpillar O_O
SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH SPEECH!!!!!
~hugs Kal back~
Yeah, it was weird, and it STUNG O_O
Daaaaaaaaark!
I've already said, Hi.. Well, technically I just yelled your name and then glomped you... buttt...
HELLO!
~glomps~
MWAHAHAHAHA I'VE BEEN STALKING YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
*leaps out of the shadows and dances with her 27 Skulduggery books*
Ah. Sorry about that. I went to put some music on and then.. Well, I got distracted. Pleasure to meet you, Skyril.
Valkyrie V!
Hello!
~hugs~
~dances with my own books as well~
GO AWAY VAL!!!!! *shies away* NYEAHHHHHHHH STOP REMINDING ME.
@Sir Reingington
[Would you mind terribly if I call you Rein?]
Ahh, that's alright. Happens to me all the time, as a matter of fact.
I can't promise it won't happen today, but I promise to try to keep in the conversation ~grins~
Valkyrie... Why do you have to act in such a fashion? Is it not enough that you have a Derek lizard? But now you stalk us for no reason?
I wouldn't mind horribly Skyril... At least, not too much.
Val.... *throws carrots at*
GAHCBOLIHbvalbvhalbviypeibv laeb aevuv bpaubvipahbvhe
SKULDUGGERYYYYY IS AWESOMEEEEEEE :P
LOL, I like you, Rein. You speak my lingo... Well, sometimes. I admit that I seem to have acquired a more mild, companionable chatting manner; however I always *did* like some verbal useage beside common speech of the day.
~wonders what Valkyrie V did~
Adra...
Second verse!
Vaaaallllkkkyyyyrrriiieee issss awwweeeessssssoooommmmeeee tooooooooooo....
I agree with you, Skyril, verbal banter is always a tradition that must be championed and continued by the following generation. Though attempting to reduce the tone and intensity of your pedantic nature in order to conduct a casual conversation is a fine thing to do.
Good evening Blogland!
@Rein
Indeed. Have you ever seen Pride and Prejudice?
They seem, in my opinion, to speak more accurately according to the time.
Evening, Em!
~glomps~
I GOT COMMENT 2424.
Indeed, much better than a large amount of films from that time which reduced all speech to banter in order to get a cheap laugh from their audiences. Though, and this is the case for many films, the book is much better.
EM!!! *tackle hugs*
Val: third verse: AND FLETCHERRR ISSS RIDICULOUS!!!!
Chorus: We many never know and we may never see, that magic lurks in every city. In the heart of land and the heart of lies, there is another Element besides surprise...
And it goes by the name of...
PLEASANTTTTT....
heya! It's me, back from the Lake District!
Just so you know, whoever is following my story. I re-wrote Chapter 13 so the new version is up with a clean slate.
So comment please!!
I dedicate this... er... comment to the uncertain Blogandians.
I have actually written a whole poem sort of about a Blogandian who is hesistating on the verge of leaving.
Unfortunately, at this time, I cannot type it out for various reasons.
However, let me tell you that you're awesome for something.
I'm not just saying that either.
Doubtless, there will be someone who wants you to stay. Most likely, there will be several.
You wonder why?
It's because you're you.
And we wouldn't want it any other way.
Yes. Blogland is the home of all deviants, misfits, outcasts, dingleberries, nut cases, half-faceless ones, gentlemen, talking rocks, and bananas.
@Rein
I agree. I always enjoyed that film, largely for the purposes of their speech.
Is the book better? I wouldn't doubt it. I have been intending to read it for some time now, but have, alas, gotten distracted by other things on every occasion. After KOTW, however, I hereby vow to delve the parallels of this literature achievement.
Just gentlemen? What about, like, fancy ladies? *pretends to be fancy and sophisticated*
hi Sir Reingington! Dya mind if I call you Rein, Reingington is kinda hard to spell. Hi Skyril! Hi Emerald!
hi Val!
Greetings, Stella! Pleasure to make your acquaitance!
~shakes hand~
Have a purple lollipop, on me.
Hiya Stella, did you have a good trip?
Hi Stella!
*raises glass* hear hear!!!!1
And SURE EM!!! *runs off*
and Val... You? Fancy???
You're American. If there's one thins about Americans that says "I'm not sophisticated" is the fact that we don't drink tea. :D
Yes, Blogland is home to all, and we love you like that.
Hello Stella!!!
But I do drink tea. Practically every day.
@Dark
We drink tea.. Well, mostly southerners. It's just not hot. In fact, it's iced and delicious
*takes purple lollipop* Hi Adrasdos! The Lakes were gr8, thanks, Emerald!
I certainly congratulate you on this wise decision, for the literature of that age is a field vastly unappreciated, and it's depths need to be delved by modern-day explorers of fiction.
@Val
I drink tea every day for sure :P
Except it's the iced, delicious kind.
If I miss a day on tea then I start getting a serious bad headache...
Yes, yes, I know that probably a bad thing, but I love tea too much.
I'm dreading the nearby day where I'll have to give up tea for 17 days. I don't care about soda..., but tea? D:
Haha Sky, I'm from north Carolina. I KNOW my sweet tea when I see it :P
I meant warm tea... Herbal or whatever
Val- me too!!!
@Rein
My thanks. I'm certain I will enjoy it immensely.
I loooove tea. But I'm British. EXCEPT for in the the Olympic swimming 100m woman's, in which we lost miserably (8th out of 8 people). I think an American won and an Aussie came 3rd. I think. I just watched it on TV.
And Stella Book, you may call me anything you want to, for the actions I can make against you are sharply limited, as I have no knowledge of your address. However, that problem can easily be rectified, so I would recommend not acting in any rash way when it comes to shortening my name.
I LOVE tea!!!
With about 3 spoons of sugar into it.
Amen, Em :P
wait, Sky... YOU'RE ALSO A SOUTHERNER????
@Dark
You are? I didn't remember that! Nice!
So..., you mean to say... there are more Ameriminions on right now, and generally more often than others?
~grins at Derek Landy~
Feeling guilty yet?
I like Irish tea. It's Irish. And it tastes GOOD.
I guess that's my Irishness... I'm like a third Irish, so yaaaaaaay!
Sorry, Sir Reingington! And I will be gone for about 3 mins, coz my mum wants me to try a banoffee cake she's made *hands out cake*
Me and my little sister are looking up hedgehogs and we keep trying to decide which one is the best Fletcher...
@Dark
Oh, yeah.. I'm from Louisiana. Born and raised here ~grins~
Soon-ish I'm going to be moving to Tennessee. Fortunately, they're still southern so I won't have to miss out on any sweet tea goodness.
Personally, I am Welsh and Irish. Quite a reasonable mix, correct? Well... I'm also half Moroccan, but I tend to not embrace that half.
@Stella
Okie doke. And thanks for the cake!
~noms~
@Val
LOL xD
I wish NJ was on right now. I can just see her defending Fletcher's hair as we speak...
I'm about a fourth Persian too. I don't look like it, though. *notices exceptionally pale skin*
Oh I hate the next 2 chapters. Characters are dying :(
Your not gonna like it Adra, or anyone else who is reading my story.
Stella, I never meant to offend in any way. I simply said that all shortenings of my name should be reasonable and relevant, and not based on some random sign you saw on the street.
omfg. SKY. Ironically.... I LIVE in Cincinatti half the time, and NC half the time -long story-
BUT THATS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I'm Irish, Welsh, and Scottish. And bit German.
