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...

Hi Nix, Helena and Eve!
Yes, I forgot to say hello... HELLO!
I'm going to be distant. Didn't even start writing my entry for the second challenge so doing that now. Heh. ^^' Sorry Nix.
Hi Lavereno!
Okay, I'm going to start writing a lot based on games
*cries* I didn't win a signed COPY! *wails*
Hey Nix? Could the cards be anywhere on the mountain? Like hanging on a string on a tree branch or just on the ground or in a bush? Just random places like that?
Kay. Thanks. :)
*crawls around room on hands and knees crying*
Oh, and I need $50 for special edition SP books
$90 if you want the whole series. Well, it was for me.
$60, but I already got $10
Really? Only 60 for you? Lucky. *continues crying*
Yeah, except I haven't got 60
Yes. That certainly is a problem. Work? You can get work now can't you? It's 14 and 9 months right? Or work for your parents?
Parents don't own there own bussiness, how would I work for them?
And I can't work. School work is pilling up, I haven't got time, I have no want to work, and I haven't got a tax file number yet
HI PEOPLE!
I'm over the moon today. My mum was doing internet shopping and she's ordered all the SP books for me as a birthday present, and then she ordered the first three Gone books, which I had to pay for, but they were £8 cheaper than the SP books so that worked out well!
No, I mean. Do around the house jobs for money. Clean out the shed... etc?
Hey Star! Congratulations. *goes back to crying*
*nervously chews as nails* I'm waiting for an email . . .
I WANT KINGDOM OF THE WICKED, I DIDN'T GET TO BY IT IN THE WEEKEND, RAGEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Star!
No, if I could do that, I could just ask for money. My parents don't have any money to spare at the moment
Hi Selena!
Well it doesn't come out in England for 30 days!
Borrow from other people's parents?
I don't know any other parents
Hey Selena *wails*
Helena, you're getting your books signed in a few weeks
Hi Sel! Hi Star!
Star, email!
I AM GOING TO MEET DEREK LANDY SOON, YAYAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAY AND I WILL PROBABLY BY A SIGNED BOOK THEN I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
Ha, right when I published that comment, I got your reply.
I was quiet for a while... Sorry bout that.
NO I'M NOT NIX! *continues wailing*
Hi! Lav, Hello! Nix, Salutations! Helena, Konnichi Wa! Star
You're not?
No, haven't I been repeating for ages DEREK ISN'T COMING TO CANBERRA?
Not for ages
Sorry about that
Its okay Helena, whats the problem?? Anything a great big pile of gummy bears can't help? *Plunks giant sack of gummy bears at Helena's feet*
S'ok, it's just that I can't go to Melbourne or Sydney.
It's only a 3 hour drive to Sydney, why don't you go to the Sydney event?
*screams with joy through tears* GUMMY BEARS!
Hi Lav!
Wbd, working on competition entry. *serious face*
GUMMY BEARS SOLVE EVERYTHING!
@ Star, samesamesamesamesamesame

Thank you. I didn't make it but I edited it.

I sincerely hope you are right Selena!
Never mind.
Bye.
MAYA! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. I am good now. OMG I hate singing assembly's! I really do not like them because no one signs, which means if I sing then I sound stupid :(:(:(
I think his Wednesday starts at 3 pm Ireland/UK time, but he probably won't start reading then all at midnight, so we've actually got longer. :)
Selena, it's 4 or so hours till Tuesday
Okay Gabriel... We would have been welcoming but you know...
Bye Gab...?
Maya, I have to ask, what is your profile picture??????

I AM STILL FANGIRLING!!!!!!
Nixon? Like Richard Nixon? Or Nixion?
Okay, I am back
*Nixion
Thanks :)
What's so special about that page?
And don't mention anything, not even names
@ Maya, its not very good. Did you see my comment?
9th line down!!
That's Doctor Who, no?
I wouldn't know, I've never watched Doctor Who
Wow, you appreciated my correcting. Thank you as well.
I am listening to a thousand years again, I vill be back!!!
really? you should
BTW I watched episode 3 of Sherlock
Sherlock I've watched and I think is awesome
Never planning to watch Doctor Who
The Sarah-Jane adventures are like Doctor Who fanfic. All about Sarah-Jane Smith, who was the Doctor's companion.
Yes it is Dr Who
I like SJA. SO sad how it had to end :(
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!
Hello guys!!! Wbd, me writing!
Hi Lynxia!
Listen to Mika. He is awesome. Even Russell T Davies <3s Mika
Hi Lynxia!
I'm doing my competition entry. I hope Nix appreciates the effort I'm putting into it.
What is this competition?
I confused
*Sigh* I must leave now, goodbye!
Was that a 'hint hint' Star?
Bye Selena!
I hope Nix doesn't get reminded to yesterday when he turned into a Faceless One
Bye Selena!
...What Nix? And hello Lynx!
:( bye!
Oh yeah the thing I was going to say before when I randomly capitalised was Tyrell and I have nearly finished KOTW so you can borrow it at school if you want.
Oh God, not 3rd person again...
I'm part Faceless One. Didn't you know?
At the moment, I'm ignoring the vote thing because I want to at least write one chapter for each of my 4 new ideas before I do anything else
Okay, I'm back after a boring day at school and almost throwing up when getting ANOTHER mouth guard for footy fitted. I only got one like two months ago but I grew it of it.
Does Ireland play Aussie Rules yet? I heard that they did somewhere...
No, I didn't know Nix. So everyone that looks at you goes mad, right? That would explain a lot. And fine with me.
I think my friend told me the All Australian team and Ireland team are playing a few match at the end of the Aussie season...
Hi Ghastly!
Hi Ghastly!
Hi Ghastly!
I'm human until I let out my Faceless One part of me
Oh, so if I ever look at Nix, I may go mad and shave my head bald? It must be because of his ugliness.
Ghastly *squeals* *cough cough* Sorry I love everyone that calls themselves Ghastly.
And is anyone gonna answer my question? Does Ireland play Aussie Rules football?
You won't go mad. And I'll kill you one day because of what you just said
How would I know? I live in Melbourne. No one here lives in Ireland
Anyway Gtg now
Byeeeeeeeeee everyone!
I need your help guys. For my taken name, what should it be, Wreckage Glun, Wreckage Glen, Wreckage Glan or Alexander Pierce. And of course I am a male by the way.
No, wait, that come out wrong. And okay Nix. Cool.
Are you talking about Aussie Rules GAA Ghastly??
If you are then there is an Irish team.
Bye Romana!
Sorry Ghastly, I'm no good with names.
One of the last two...
Hmm, Wreckage Glun was the first name I cam up with a few months ago, and I only got Alexander Pierce when I punched Sir Reingington this morning.
It was *hinting to Nix that if it's rubbish don't blame me coz I TRIEDDDD*
Nix is a good person to do The Competiton coz he isn't afraid to tell us how bad we are . . .
I think I'll go with Alexander Pierce. Unless I think of a better name.
Oh, and NEW BLOG
http://justmakeacharacteralready.blogspot.com.au/
I'll be right back guys.
You make too many blogs Nix.
I answered your question Ghastly.
Just thought I'd tell ya ...
Okay Alex, I like Alexander Pierce. I haven't seen Sir in ages. And I forgot to say I love AFL!
Me? Nooooo
Oh, and Hi Em!
And I thought I had a lot of blogs Nix.
I LOVE THIS SONG AS WELL!
Hi Em!!
Meh just popping in, c u guys!
I just remembered, today I walked backwards into a pole.
I don't have a MILLION blogs. I couldn't be bothered to . . .
Dinner
Bye!
Bye Nix.
Bye Nix!
Fours Nix!
Seems like we're having an awkward silence...
It happens all the time. Suddenly everyone just stops and has nothing to say.
I'm back! I had dinner unfortunately. But now I have to do a ded.
Yes you do.
*is playing Amnesia again even though it scares the crap out of me* Why do I put myself through this? *clicks start game*
A thrill maybe Lynx?
Ha, Slender. I watched all the PewDiePie vids of it, and I'm moving onto Amnesia vids now
*is playing the game* Why is there tomato sauce in this game? *is throwing the bottle round* Seriously, why? Everything else is all broken and then there's this big bottle of tomato sauce! I don't trust this custom game...
PewDiePie is amazing! Look at TobyGame and CaptainSparklez too, they've done some on Slender and Amnesia.
Possibly Hel, very possible.
I only watched the Cap for Hunger Games Minecraft
I have so many ideas for dedications but I don't know which one to do. I think I'll settle on the least inspirational...
Sparklez is awesome but Toby is soo funny sometimes! Especially in Skyrim.
*is running* NO NO NO NO!! I DON'T WANT THE MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is under table* Please don't find me...
BARRELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 *kicks the barrel whilst running from monster* You'll probably understand that soon Nix.
I already understand it
Yay!!!!!!!! Evil barrels...!
TobyGames is also Tobuscus, and you have to watch the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Literal trailer, it's sooo funny.
I know Ghastly, Toby is really funny. DO you watch his vlogs? Oh, btw, I know the AC-B literal trailer off by heart I've seen it that many times.
Why won't it let me join the stupid Munchkin army. Ugh. I give up.
Well here my most un-inspirational speech goes: I dedicate this page to decomposition. Without decompisition we would be surrounded by dead bodies. Everyone appreciates it but is disgusted by it. I suspect grave diggers like it especially. Decomposition isn't just about dead bodies though. It's about waste and rubbish but that doesn't sound as cool. Anyway... decomposition saves lives. Done.
*decomposition
I know Alex! I tried so many times.
And I've e-mailed and complained to them.
Hel that's a great ded but possibly one of the weirdest I've ever seen.
Same Lynx, I know it all off my heart I have watched it so many times.
My favorite part is, 'Target comes out of his shelter, he's distracted by a feather, he's like shoot me!, he likes feathers, he looks up when he remembers, OOH I LOBE BIRDS!, nod at the bird and people die, everywhere people die' I know it's a bit of a long part but that's my fave.
I joined before it went down but I can't sign in. :(
*nods* Thank you.
I like 'PART THE RED SEA'!!! But the birds part is best. His Minecraft videos are so funny.
I am so annoyed with them. When Derek comes to Perth I will tell him. There was also an editing mistake in KOTW. It was like page 345 or something.
Nope, nope, I don't need to be scared so early in the morning. I'm off Amnesia now. Right, do I play Skyrim or Minecraft now?
Lynx, do you play MC? Any servers? I have my own, but it's not fully up and running. Well it's not 24/7.
Here's the link, batcraftaustralia.enjin.com Well it's for the website.
Yeah I play Minecraft but I don't do servers. I stick to my own world. Sorry.
OH MY GOLDEN GOD
LIMITED EDITION SP DOWN-UNDER TOUR COVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEREK!! YOU ARE A GOD!!!
*fan-girl squeal*
Hey Missy!
Miss, I told you about those... And they have extra content.
I don't like the new Paperbacks. They're not that good. I actually have the first book and Playing With Fire in coloured pages.
That's cool.
I have every copy in what I guess you could call non-paperbacks, but the first and second I have the white lines around the edge. And one and two have coloured pages.
I have all English original covers. All are hardbacks except the first but that has orange pages! :D
Sorry bout that, I'm almost finished my chapter of one of my new stories
*Punches Miss Cain in the face for not being on all day*
We don't have hardbacks here!
yeah, bit over-excited...
i just told my friend, hes happy too
THEY WILL BE MINE!!!
*rubs nose*
listen, i had school and my little sisters netball and just got back
and then i have to go out again for this electives thing for next year...
I've got the same Lynx, except I have number two with coloured pages aswell. Everything else is hardback.
No, I got hard back of two.
I have no SP books except TEOTW, but that's about to change . . . !
They're not exactly hardbacks but they're the ones with no white-lines around the edge.
i only have one of each book...
BUT THAT WILL CHANGE!!
Anyone want to have a fight?
na, not now
bit distant, so yeah...
Well anyway, I want to punch someone in the face, so I'll punch... Star. *Punches Star in the ribs*
*Punches Star twice in the jaw*
Maybe, just depends if I can kill this God damn dragon!!!! *is on Skyrim* DDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm an Australian. I got my book on the 24th of June and seriously regret not checking this website or blog for release dates.
I woke up one day looked at my bookshelf and thought to myself 'hmmm my shelf doesn't really paint me as the Skulduggery Fan I am' so I went out and got the first 7 books (including End Of The...).
I woke up the next day and looked at my bookshelf and thought 'Hmm this doesn't reflect my huge fanatic behaviour towards Skulduggery' So i got out and bought the first 7 books again (now in A different kind of covers).
I woke up the next day and thought 'Money well spent'
these broken bones, this busted smile
my head it hurts i should be leaving now
i hear your words
they call my name
i wont go back you must be out of your head
(Broken Bones by Birds of Tokyo)
hey Jazz!
