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...

Interesting. I've always wished to take a galavant up to Ireland and other places in Great Britain.
Of course, when I was introduced to Skulduggery Pleasant, I ever more desired to travel there.
Australia, additionally, is at the top of places I want to explore.
I am 100% home grown Irish!
Emerald... JESSIE??? That's my guess...
My sister just looked up finger monkeys and she saw a picture of a monkey with crazy white hair and she went, "Ah! Kenspeckle!"
I guess she really IS Clarabelle...
No Adra.
I mean your really not gonna like it. The way the chapters are going, at least
3 people get seriously hurt and 2 people get killed.
@Dark
It IS!
This is one of the first times I've actually met a southerner Ameriminion.
As much as I hate to admit it, most of these awesome Ameriminions are Yankees. Ohio, Michigan, Conneticut are especially popular places.
I intend to move to Ireland the instant I can... I also plan to find some way to go to college there. And I plan to be Derek's bestest friend ever :D
and Washington... there are at least three there...
YES. AWESOME, SKY!!!! OMG! SO YOU KNOW ALL THE SOUTHERN SONGS, RIGHT???
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Val... Haha you and I both know how to become his bestest friend EVER
Question-
Do any of you have a deviantart account? I like to Watch Blogandians...
No, I don't mean I'm a stalker. When I say "watch," I mean basically Follow as someone would follow a blog. Watch is just the deviantart term for it.
Street sign, Sir Reingington??? I was just shortening your name! I've always wanted to go to Aus too, SKyril, and my cousin lives there, and she's ill, so I'm going in about 2 weeks!!!!!
LOL, Val!
Awesome idea!
I think I still want to live in the USA, though... But I definitely want to travel a lot :D
@Dark
THIS IS AWESOME!
I'm not sure about the songs, though :P
What are you thinking about?
I am in Washington, Skyril!
*dances around like a crazy person*
*stops*
It's really boring here. I basically live in an American version of Haggard.
I've never heard of deviantart, sorry!
@Stella
AH! I'm jealous!
I would LOVE to go to Australia! Especially Adelaide! One of my favore men in the whole world lives near there! ~grins~
haha songs. Country music :P
And Sir- i suppose... perhaps. yeah probably :P
Sky... WE SHOULD TOTALLY MEET SOMETIME!!! :P I had no idea. HAHA
I'm super exited about it! And, I've got to ask, who do you mean by 'favourite men'? An author?
@Val
Really? Ooo, nice! I've never met anyone so far west before! Well..., I *have* met someone in California, true, but still, you're definitely the farthest north and west.
I'm slightly interested to learn that Valkyrie lives in the farthest possible state away from me on the mainland. We literally live on the two completely opposite sides of the country.
@Stella
Ah, that's alright. You don't need to have a deviantart- it's just a website where people post art or photography.
aaaaaaaaaah, cool! I like photography, so I'll check it out, thanks!
A warning though: Due to the anonymity of being able to hide behind a screen name, many people post... Undesirable drawings on the website. Thankfully, the mature content filter is on by default.
I think I have a DeviantArt... Yeah. I do...
@Dark
Ahhh..., welll.... I gotta say, even though I'm southern that I'm not a big fan of country music. That is to say... I don't like it at all xD
No offence or anything... It just never... *appealed* to me.
@Stella
lol, well... I have a few favorite men. Derek Landy is one of them, my dad, another. There are a few more, but the one I was referring to is Hellboy, a Blogandian that I've been friends with for ages.
brb
thanks, Sir Reingingon.
I made a DeviantArt a few days ago... I am Ivy Animosity on there. I think.
ahh, right, Skyril!
Oh Adra, I'm actually crying.
God I've turned into such a sap as regards my writing these days.
That's what having a kid does to you lol
You're kidding me Sky.. *HUGS* A SANE SOUTHERNER!!!
Yeah my Da's big on country so I know all the songs but they all just sound the same!!! they're all about drinking, or losing someone.
i'm a rock person...
OH America. Right. If you don't mind me asking, what grade are you in, Sky???
oh, g2g guys, sorry!
Awww EM!!! *hugs* why??? OH. Wait. no.
WHYYY
Bye Stella!!!! *hug*
Bye Stella!
*pokes Rein in the face with a stick* Melt...
@Rein
You live in the USA?
My story.
The next chapters.
People = hurt
+
People = dead
Unfortunately, we happen to be in the two states are far away from each other as humanly possible. I don't think you have a stick long enough.
And yes, I thought I had already stated this? I am a Floridian. Though certainly not by choice.
@Stella
Oh, you're welcome :D
I really like the website, myself. Rein *is* right that there are some pictures like that, but mostly it's good stuff. :]
*calls Fletcher* *uses him to teleport to Florida and pokes Rein in the face with a stick* *teleports back*
Haha the dude at Hardy's today at the front counter was named Fletcher...
haha
Em- oh God... It isn't... oh PLEASE NO... NOT HER
Good thing I keep allergy medicine on hand.
@Val
Watching you now ~grins~
I'm scared of people named Fletcher... Last year at the beginning of the school year there was this guy who apparently looked like Fletcher from Ant Farm or something like that, and my friends kept saying they were going to make him go out with me so we'd be Valkyrie and Fletcher.
I got so irritated... I scared them too much so they didn't do it. Thank God.
You're watching me? WHAT? *confused*
Bbye, Stella!
Sorry, everybody, for the slow comments!
~is trying to catch up~
I don't know yet Adra but it could go that way.
All I know is the next few chapters are just brutal.
@Dark
LOL! That's so awesome! I can't believe you don't like country music either :P
And you're right... They're all the same xD
Oh, and I'm 16.
*laughs* oh Val... :P
I have a new song, Val- it's called- Bentley. It's a rap
@Rein
Nice! I must have missed it when you said you were from Florida! My parents lived there for a while with my two brothers before moving to Louisiana, and I was born. Do you live anywhere near to Pensacola?
Ahhh cool! i'm 13 :P my BROTHERS are 16. -_-
Em.... You can do this. I had to kill one of my favorite characters. actually, well, I haven't killed him YET. But ah... I hate writing this book. It annoys me.
Cool, Dark!
One of my brothers is 22, and the other will be 26 next month xP
My friends told me they wanted me to try to free style rap, and I said they couldn't, so I just offered to rap to Edgar Allen Poe poems and it was hilarious... *raps to the Raven*
~sighs~ I've caught up on comments!
~does the victory dance~
*sighs very deeply*
Here it goes...
@Rein
Ah, alright. My parents lived in pensacola. Actually, the school where I get dvd's from is in Pensacola. A Beka Academy is what it's called...
None of you had better be stalkers now, you hear?
~eyeballs everyone~
Good luck Em....
Haha yep. I just need to type it.. :P
And Sky- cool! Wish him happy birthday! And, well, sometimes don't older brothers SUCK?????? I'm assuming you know, having 2 of them like me :D
and ooh! my grandparents live in Pensacola...
Anyway while I'm writing probably the most depressing thing I will ever write.
Can you guys keep me from falling into the depressing abyss
Aw, I have to go, guys
I have one older brother and that's too much for me...
@Dark
Oh, yes, definitely xD
They can be so annoying, and just... DUMB sometimes ~glares at the two of them~
Bye Skyril!
Em, what would help? Me dancing like a weirdo? Stuffing you with lollipops? Giving you a spoiler to my story?
Byyye, guys!
~runs around hugging everyone~
By the way, don't forget about chatzy, ok?
See you all soon, hopefully!
~waves madly~
What story Val?
The Ivy one. I haven't written any of it in a long time...
Bye Sky!!! And Em. OH OF COURSE
Ah cheers guys!!
I actually don't care what ye do, just keep talking!
Anyway, Val... Any news on Derek's Minions??? :P
Ok! *runs in circles and hits the wall*
Ah Val lol
Not hurt yourself you eejit!
Oh god.... *headdesk*
*watches Cyanide and Happiness shorts*
I've stopped noticing when I hurt myself because it happens too often.
*ran into the door when trying to walk into bedroom*
What do people do when they want other people to laugh? From what I've seen from multiple cartoons, it seems that they violently hurt other creatures with blunt objects.
*gets out hammer and looks at Valkyrie*
*gets out Necromancer ring and looks at Rein*
*takes off running*
nooo.... LOL I JUST REMEMBERED THE STUPIDEST JOKE. EVER.
If the don of humans is called the Godfather...
Then the don of fish is called the Codfather???
*laughs at stupidness*
No violence needed, please lol
Hmm the numbers aren't adding up again.
The new chapter has 4 views but only 2 comments (3 if you count mine)
I would love if everyone who reads my chapters would comment, I love to hear what people think.
*drives up in bentley*
GET IN GET IN!!!
Do you honestly think that a ring imbued with dark and magical powers beyond belief could ever beat a blunt object, which has been pretty much used since the time of cavemen?
Wait...
Stupid joke my brother loves:
What does a gay horse like to eat?
Heyyyyyyyyyy
*looks at Rein*
I just had a slight feeling that the ring may be a tad superior to your hammer.
*gets in the Bentley*
Why did the chicken cross the road?
It didn't. I hit it with the Bentley before it could cross.
*hits bump*
WE'VE GOT DINNER TONIGHT!!!!
*leaves Rein, scared for her life*
GAHHHHHHH
You know, unless the Bentley is a 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental, one of the 207 ever made but not used by living skeletons, that has a 6 cylinder and 4.5 liter engine with modern conveniences on the inside, it's rubbish. Yes, I know that by heart. One day it will be mine.
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE.
I wrote a story in sixth grade where a talking pig pops up out of some lady's cake and she screams, "OH MY HOMEMADE ROAD KILL SQUIRREL SAUCE!"
Just a random thing to share with you.
Actually, you don't know it by heart, because it's one of only 208 ever made, not 207.
When I was in sixth grade I was shorter than I am now. That's really all that's changed.
Hey, I said one of the 207 ever made, but then after that I put, "But not used by living skeletons"
Thinking back on it, it was kind of confusing, BUT THE THOUGHT REMAINS.
Haha Val :O THATS TRUE.
And it is... And it is BEAUTIFUL.
ITS MY CAR.
MINEEEE
And I'm going for a little bit now, bye!
I WILL BE BACK!
Mineeee? It that, like, Wal-e's mine-laying cousin?
not ehre for spoliers. just here to brighten your mood, hopefully so it will e better than mine. although i doubt its worse.
i want you to know i dont really post stupid stuff on other peoples blogs, but...

*sings while in car*
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....
Bye Val!!! Hey Cat!!! *hugs*
Sir Reingington, could I interest you into viewing my story?
no hugs
Is there more, Emrald?
Hm... Certainly! I'll view it now!
OOoooh riiiiiight, sorry Cat...
How civilized...
There is 13 chapters and a short story. How far did you get Cat lol?
And please do feel free to comment.
LALALALALALA
And please feel more than free to comment Sir Reingington.
I can be very civialised Adra lol don't do too surprised lol
*is not surprised*
Well HELLOOOOOOOO Of course you're civilized!
1- you have a child. It's a given.
2- you're from Ireland. They drink tea there. That's a given.
3- you read Skulduggery Pleasant.
Skulduggery Pleasant does not make one civilized. he would be turning over in his suit ta the mere idea
Em, I can't comment on any blog but Derek's, remember?
Lol I'm sorry Adra but your list is flawed
1. I have a child - that makes me brutal
2 I'm from Ireland - that makes me brutal
3. I read Skulduggery Pleasant - that makes me brutal
(brutal means unpredictable and occasionally violent lol )
I'm not staying, btw. Fours.
Well you can just mail me Star lol
I love getting emails from you
byeeeee!!!!!
Haah Em. Brutal? Really? Nahhh you're epic!
Yes that I am Adra lol
But because I have a child now, that makes me brutal because a mama bear will always do anything for her cub.
XP awwww family love :P
Helloooooooooooo again
Hoya everyone sry Dad broke the Internet
awww sorry Zaf lol :P
Hey Val :D didja get the song i sent you??? just... try to imagine it
Yeah, I got it :D
I think that could work...
REALLY???? 0_0
Door!!!!
Oh! Did you get the song I sent YOU?
It's me playing cello in a very crappy way, but I think you'll recognize the song from Doctor Who...
Still never saw Doctor Who
*shameful*
Me neither Zaf, you're alright lol
Hi, people. Wbd, msd. I'm meant to be sleeping but I'm on the mini-laptop doing my competiition entryyyyyyyy. :)
I've done a page and a third and I haven't even got to the mountain yet . . .
Alright, I just finished your story so far Emerald Melody, and I have to say, it's brilliant. I've commented on the latest chapter of it.
DW is awesomesauce. And I might not be sooooo distant. The joys of writers block.
*writers'
Ah thanks very much Sir Rein!!!
I'm glad you think so highly of it.
I feel your pain Star.
OH! And Adra, what happened to your email? Coz I can't seem to be able to email you.
I'm so happy that I'm not a writer of any sort. I can just fly past writers' block.
I hope not. Star in the entry has a injured leg. And I think she's covered in bruises. She's not dying of thirst anymore though. Yay.
Don't rub it in lol
The public demand is killing me here lol
Thunder!!!
Yes first!!! Oh yeah!!!! craap thinking of a speech
It has been stolen successfully.
Writing is awesome. It's like reading, only slower. When you read, you disappear into a story world, correct? It's the same for writing. Or it is when it's going well. When it isn't, it's like you've lost the book and you're trying to predict what could possibly happen, but you just can't work it out.
Hey, Zafira is doing the dedication here, silly.
SPEECH SPECH SPEECH
oh i is back
tick tockkkk
I couldn't have said it better myself Star.
Come on now Zaf, we're all waiting with baited breath.
Pfff, I've had writers' block for two months... I'm actually going through my story and rewriting a lot of it.
It's bated breath. I wonder what baited breath would sound like?
Probably gurgling and wet. Ew.
I'm back.
OMG!!! *hugs*
LOL I remember when Nix changed his name to "Lord Vile."
And it was hilarious
I knew it was one or the other lol Thank you Sir Rein.
Heya Ghastly. I don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting before.
Hello, stranger. I was wondering what baited breath would sound like before you arrived, and we are waiting for Zafira to create a dedication.
I dedicate this page to, few things
Friends. Without them seriously life would suck. Yeah we may fight ect. But we are always there when one needs an other. Who else can you turn to if your family wont listen? Who would be there to tell you advice that parents wont get.
A few friends of my own Bloglandians and few that arent
Bloglandians:
Em, the crazy Iriminion who kept trying to arrest me. You always made me smile when I got up and read your comments of trying to arrest me. You're just...awesome.
L, she's so nice! I think she's just epic. And funny and god this might be a page of words so before that happens, just AWESOME
Dark, my Elder you my friend are crazy. And a fellow Ameriminion. We both suffer from 'Wanting To Meet Derek Syndrom' we will cure that!!
Kat and JJ: the crazy Brits nobody knows unless on my fb page. They funny & violent and...drunk. Still awesome
Anyone I forgot, sorry. I love y'all. Just cant think off my head at the moment. You still loved!!!
Nic eto meet you all too. All though I have met Star and kinda' met Sir Whatever-His-Name-Is.
Hullo, guys. Would you mind checking out my friend's video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iAFFje6zJU&feature=g-u-u
It's good fun ;D
Ah Zaf lol bravo!!
I will get you one day and you never know, either Nix or myself will write about it
Hm. I'd have though that you'd have at least have mentioned the crazy Irish, Welsh, and Moroccan gentleman who has a deep love of being pedantic and making puns and obscure references.
Man, Sparky is going to be so mad at you.
Saywhat, Reing?
Oh my god Zafira, you suffer from 'Want To Meet Derek Syndrom' aswell? I have suffered and suffered from it ever since the first book.
Hello Ghastly. I'm Valkyrie.
Nothing in particular.
Please call me Elder Bespoke when we're in the public. Thankyou.
I'm Irish
Just sitting here, with my iPad and Bluetooth/Wireless keyboard, on my couch at 6:18am rapped up in 4 blankets, watching the Olympics when I should really be having breakfast.
Haha Thank you Grand Mage Zafira!!! *hugs*
Val- I'm trying to play it but i give up.. I'll just play a tune I know and send it because its boss.
Where are you? o_0
Where are you? o_0
I'm Irish too
Where are you from NMRN?
Lol, double post :D
Is calling you Elder Bespoke entirely necessary?
Cork, you?
I'm Irish, but more Australian, and Sweetish. And English of course. A little Scottish ad American.
Dublin
Yes Val, when we're in Public. I'm just joking, call me Ghastly.
I, unfortunately, am American (I don't like being American...). I'm about a third Irish, though, so that's good.
hmmmm. AWESOME!!! Ah yes. I forgot
*raises glass* hear hear!
And Hello, uh, "Elder Bespoke" (cool! My work name is beside the word 'Elder' also!!!) I'm Adrasdos Dark!!! *shakes hand*
I live in Perth. That's why it's 6:23am.
Okay, I was either planning to call you Ghastly or Your Highness, but since you've approved Ghastly I'll stick with that.
OMFG. EM. FAIL. I was there!!! We should've met!!! *cries*
Anyway....
Don't worry about calling me Elder Bespoke if you don't want. Call me Ghastly if it's easier for you.
We didn't know each other when you were in Dublin Adra lol
Guys. if you were a sorcerer, what discipline would you choose and what would your taken name be?
If Tipstaff found out about you letting us call you Ghastly rather than Elder Bespoke, I bet he'd throw a fit...
Which is why you don't mention it. And why we make fun of your robes.
I hate how so many americans say "Oh yeah, I'm about one 25th Indian and one 10th Irish. That must mean something, right? Time to act Irish and Indian, completely stereotyping both countries and their inhabitants. And when they call me racist, I'll just say "I'm Irish/Indian, too, so there isn't anything you can do about it.""
No offence, though.
Yup sry Elder Bespoke was eating.
Well you met the American Grand Mage now :)
I'd definitely choose to be an Elemantal. But before I hit the surge, I would be an adept as well, probably Tanith's powers. And my taken name would be... Alexander Pierce.
I would be Valkyrie Cain and I would be an Elemental who dabbles with Necromancy.
But really, I sort of have a taken name, but it's for my own story. I'm Ivy Animosity, and I have about every power I want...
Zafira Kerias and I'd pick Necromancy.
Oh, and I'm a psychopathic murderer who is technically a version of the living dead. Lovely, right?
Oh, Cheers NMRN. And nooo... the people I know don't really do that...
@Ghastly- What're you talking about!!! My name IS Adrasdos Dark, and I DO elemental magic :P
@Val- don't be disrespecting the robes
@Em- Yeah... Faintly though. :D
Rein, just order them off of Amazon. That's what I do.
Oh wait! I do know what my taken name would be. I'd be Sir Reingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingingington. Because you can never have enough "ing"s.
Lol guys.
@SirReing- Basically what yousaid + teleporting, shunting (dimensional teleporting inda') and there is one or two others...
Yup basically...
So I met an Irish Elder....
I'd be this guy who everyone thinks is an average baby, but is really and adept overlord who can control minds and send in tiny magic pods that eat through people's bodies from the inside.
My taken name would be Le Hipster.
@SirReingington- My brother might be selling his KOTW when he gets it signed because both of us have one so.. Yeah.
Hm... Maybe I could invent a whole NEW discipline! I'd be the worlds first...
Pieromancer!
Hey, I'm just throwing out ideas here.
And you KNOW an American one
I'd also have a deep fat guy voice.
