Spoiling...


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...

Eve, me and my brother and sister are playing the Yes and No game - it's tge gane where you aren't allowed to say the words Yes and No, also known as the forbidden words. My brother asked me what the forbidden words were, trying to get me out, and I said "Ask my master" so they said "Who's your master?" and I said "The Banana Lord, of course!" and now they want me to cimment and ask you, so . . .

Master, what are the forbidden words?

Lynxia Lost said...

Ugh, Caroline's just showed up and she wants to speak to you all. Next comment will be her, I'll change the name so you can tell it's not me.

NotMyRealName said...

Hello Carrie, whoever you are.

Lynxia Lost said...

Lizzie keeps saying I should make my own account but I cant be bothered. :P

Lynxia Lost said...

Oops, 'Lynx' said not to call her Lizzie.

Star Inkbright said...

Nice profile pic, Carrie.

Drew O'Connor said...

You should, we could use some more nutters around these parts.

Lynxia Lost said...

Thanks Star!!!

Hello Nixion!!

Lynxia Lost said...

I should defo be here then! XD

Nixion Strange said...

... You serious Em? Really?

Lynxia Lost said...

Aw, you say that like you don't want me round, Nix. :C

Drew O'Connor said...

Really what Nix?

Eve the ROCK said...

The forbidden are Sey and On except they are spelled backwards.

Nixion Strange said...

No, but I'm a nutter. Eve's a nutter. Most of us are nutters already

Star Inkbright said...

EVE!!!!! My sister wants to be my Assisstant Banana Servant!!!!!!!!

*eats celebratory banana* Another Banana Person has been added to our clan . . .

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix, hi Carrie!

Drew O'Connor said...

Yes but there is always room for some more.

Well in my book here always is lol

Lynxia Lost said...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *rolls round*
Lynx never shuts up about this place and now she's giving me Death Glares! CX

Star Inkbright said...

My master isn't a NUTTER, she's a bananaer.

*shows Eve's reply to brother and sister* Thanks, Banana Lord. Their reaction was: *stares at Eve's comment in silence*

Eve the ROCK said...

*gives Star a banana-yellow hat* Give this to your sister.

Star Inkbright said...

*glares Lynxia Life Smile through screen* It's the opposite of a Death Glare. :P

Nixion Strange said...

You know, I'm picking up subtle vibes that she's slightly annoyed...

Eve the ROCK said...

Hahaha. Yes. A bananaer. :P

Your siblings are in awe of my magnificence. Probably. :P

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm sure she appreciates it Star!!

Drew O'Connor said...

That's not a good sign Carrie lol

Cat said...

what is not a good sign?

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Cat!

Lynxia Lost said...

What isn't??

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Cat

Cat said...

Hi Eve. How are all of you?
MILK! I HAVE MILK!

Drew O'Connor said...

CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heya!

Um... Lynx is giving Carrie death glares because Carrie took over her account lol

Star Inkbright said...

My brother wants to be a Banana Servant as well. :)

My sister told him he had to take a taken name first, only we had to explain what taken names were as he hasn't read SP . . . He said his taken name was Banana The DoubleBanana. I'd suggest not taking him seriously.

My sister's taken name is Dark Extremely Midnight. You've met her before.

Star Inkbright said...

My sister said Thank you.

Lynxia Lost said...

Hi Cat!!

Oh yeah, she'll kill me later or poke me with her model staff or something. She might impale me on the horns of her helmet though and that could be quite painful... **looks at the helmet**

Star Inkbright said...

My sister said that, so as to no be confused with Adra, she'd like to be refered to as Dem. (Her initials . . . )

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Cat!

*laughs* Her Loki helmet is awesome.

Cat said...

is she a zombie?

Cat said...

or an octopus?

Lynxia Lost said...

Oh god, she saw that Star and you've just made her give me a smug smile. Not funny. Tamara and Charlie were already like ':O', am I the only one who prefers Thor?!!!!!!!!

Cat said...

Dem? there are some nutters here. What we need is an octopus. is you an octopus? im sure you could be one if you really, really tried...

Star Inkbright said...

Bbs, lunch!

Lynxia Lost said...

^^ Lynx says yes.

Lynxia Lost said...

KK Star!

(That yes was to me liking Thor btw!!)

Drew O'Connor said...

Anybody got twitter or skype and want to add me??

Star Inkbright said...

I AM an octopus, actually. I'm the Inky Octopus Girl, the Enemy of the Llamas and the Faithful Banana Servant.

*laughs again and grins at Lynxia through screen*

Cat said...

Sorry Emrald Melody.

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, and I'm back. I didn't realise we could take our lunches through to the other room . . .

Lynxia Lost said...

Lynx has, I'll get her name for you!

(To Lynx: Throw us your phone!

Lynx: *is on phone for some reason* What? No, I'm using it!

Me: Em wants your Skype!

Lynx: Then I'll give you my name, iggyfletcher123

Me: tar!)

Lynxia Lost said...

Lynx: *throws another cushion*

Star Inkbright said...

*raises eyebrows* Freakfan???? Coz freakfan's display name is summat like The Awesomely Awesome Llama Who Is Awesome (aka Freakfan)

Lynxia Lost said...

She's never mentioned Freakfan so probably not.

Nixion Strange said...

I doubt it's Freakfan

Nixion Strange said...

Lynxia Lost said...

Fine, I dedicate to getting first because it means you get to say what you want to in a great big long paragraph and you can make them as cheesy as you like without people judging you. You can dedicate to anything and that's what makes it awesome! It's a shame people don't go for it any more, it was always fun to watch people get worked up over not getting so yeah, to dedications and 1st's!

Eve the ROCK said...

There, finished and sent!

Eve the ROCK said...

Eve the ROCK said...

FREAKING.

*dies from amazingness*

Lynxia Lost said...

Night Nix!!!!

Yes, even to school. I'd impale anyone who told me to take it off!
I know that's what I thought!!!!!

Noelle said...

there's this one Doctor Who/ Loki joke... hang on it's awesome. lemme find it..

Star Inkbright said...

In the car my mum was singing all these old Irish songs . . . Then she started explaining why all the Irish people had had to come over here to England and work on the railways and canals . . . Then she was talking about immigrants and the minimum wage, and then she was telling us once again that the Tories don't solve problems the right way, and it all ended up being a bit depressing . . .

Lynxia Lost said...

Dr Who AND Loki!!!!!!!?

Star Inkbright said...

Anyways. Hi.

Noelle said...

Aww STAR! *hugs*

Lynxia Lost said...

I just don't get in politics full stop. Labour spend money we don't have and the Tories want to make everything private while the Lib Dems are one step from communism. I hate politicians.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra i have Zaf's OC i saved it in my notes on my iPad

Lynxia Lost said...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Loki!!!!!!!!!!! Here, have mine!! *hands over helmet, he seems unamused that it's unfinished* I tried!!!!! Don't judge!! Wahhhhhhhhhh!!! *curlds up in corner* X'C

Noelle said...

Ohhh send it to me!!!

adrasdosdark477@gmail.com

Noelle said...

*takes his fez*

*dons it*

I LOVE IT

Cat said...

Whats awesome and amazing?

Star Inkbright said...

I get all my knowledge of politics from my mum. My mum's a Labour supporter and she keeps pointing out how the Tories do things the wrong way.

Noelle said...

Hey Cat!!!

And I try to repress the political standards of America.

Lynxia Lost said...

Sally hates Labour's guts. Best they never meet, eh?

Noelle said...

*is standing back, thinking how cool it is how you all spell labor*

Cat said...

Oh, Hello Asrasdros Dark.

Flame Phoenix said...

Me leaves, now.

BYE

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah . . .

Lynxia Lost said...

It's because we're English and we're awesome (but out politics sucks.)!!

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Flame!!!

Noelle said...

bye Flame!!!

Howre ya cat!!!

*twitches* I must... write...

Cat said...

my english teacher gots annoyed when i spelled things like labour and metre and she thinks i should use words like fall and faucet
she irked me

Noelle said...

:P erm....

Lynxia Lost said...

Do the Ameraminions spell colour with a u or are they special and spell it wrong?

Noelle said...

We're special and spell it "color"

Lynxia Lost said...

It's colour!! You need the u!! Like realise has an s not a z!! And Fall is Autumn!

Noelle said...

Most wait... YOU saw Autumn?

Star Inkbright said...

They're special and spell it wrong! And they spell favourite like favorite and honour like honor!

Star Inkbright said...

And they spell grey gray!!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

And light lite and night nite!

Autumn? We have Autumn ever year, it's a season, of course I saw it!

Noelle said...

*say*

yeah I never understood the difference between "gray" and "grey" so i just try to avoid it.

and hey *holds up hands* I use "u"s most of the time... Ticks the hell outta my teachers but they can deal

Noelle said...

Yeah. THAT'S stupid. the whole "lite" "nite" thing...

ITS LIKE DONUT AND DOUGHNUT

Lynxia Lost said...

If they can't spell English words correctly, tell your so-called English teachers to mess up another language. They should spell it correctly. And a 'cell phone' is a mobile!!

Lynxia Lost said...

It's doughnut!

Noelle said...

I KNOW IT IS!!!!

And yeah... I've been getting to say mobile now, because one of my dear friends is English, so she corrects me frequently

Lynxia Lost said...

Tell her she's awesome and I want to hug her!! I don't get cell phone, it's just... Odd.

Cat said...

i had a science teacher who took off points... the first few times. i always argued... i won, but i think he hates me still.

INEEDALASTNAMEANDAMIDDLENAME

Noelle said...

Wait... Is Eve still here?

Lynxia Lost said...

Not a clue, she might have fallen asleep.

Noelle said...

*laughs at cat's exclamation*

and okay, I'll tell her, :P

Noelle said...

*screams* EVE!!! WAKEY WAKEY!!!

Watch this. This is brilliant.

Cat said...

ANDISTILLHAVEMIILLLLKKKKKKKK

Cat said...

okay... i do need names... but i dont really want any... procrastintating.... but i need those names

Star Inkbright said...

*expression clears* Ah, so THAT'S what cell phones are . . . I've been puzzeling over that one for YEARS. Eventually I decided it was a type of mobile, and then I just kinda got used to it (I read a lot of Amerocan books), ignored it and treated it like the word "mobile", I guess. In fact, I read more American books than I do English ones. *thinks about it* I only just realised this, but I very rarely read English books.

Noelle said...

*headdesk* please say you're joking.

A cell phone IS a mobile... *laughs*

Cat said...

i often forget which words belong to which counries

Lynxia Lost said...

I know that if any spelling looks wrong, it's probably American. No offence.

Noelle said...

woooooooooowwww Thanks, Lynx. I really appreciate that.

*pats cat's arm* it's okay. Me too.

Star Inkbright said...

I know. You just told me it was a mobile when you and Lynxia were talking. Untul then, I didn't know. I was first confused by it before I owned my phone and so couldn't be bothered to go through the process of switching the laptop on and logging in . . . And then, like I said, I got used to it.

*smiles* Oh, everything makes so much more sense now.

Noelle said...

*laughs*

Cat said...

namesnamesnamesnamesnames

Star Inkbright said...

And you say "gotten" instead of "got". And you use "already" in places where we never would, we'd use "now" . . . I use "already" like that though now. My speech tends to get largely influenced by other people, books, films, etc.

Cat said...

ive been told i dont have an american accent, either... my mom says
You want to be british so badly... and then she laughs at me and says
its not even a british accent

Noelle said...

Exactly!!!!! Yeah I want to be British so badly I sometimes accidentally say things as the English or Scottish do :P

And Cat... do you need help with a name?
