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 4001 – 4200 of 4879 Newer› Newest»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?
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.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!!!!!!!!
Okayzo Lynxiano.
Heeeeeeey Caroline!
Heey
Hello Carrie, whoever you are.
Lizzie keeps saying I should make my own account but I cant be bothered. :P
Oops, 'Lynx' said not to call her Lizzie.
Nice profile pic, Carrie.
You should, we could use some more nutters around these parts.
Thanks Star!!!
Hello Nixion!!
I should defo be here then! XD
... You serious Em? Really?
Aw, you say that like you don't want me round, Nix. :C
Really what Nix?
The forbidden are Sey and On except they are spelled backwards.
No, but I'm a nutter. Eve's a nutter. Most of us are nutters already
EVE!!!!! My sister wants to be my Assisstant Banana Servant!!!!!!!!
*eats celebratory banana* Another Banana Person has been added to our clan . . .
Hi Nix, hi Carrie!
Yes but there is always room for some more.
Well in my book here always is lol
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *rolls round*
Lynx never shuts up about this place and now she's giving me Death Glares! CX
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*
*gives Star a banana-yellow hat* Give this to your sister.
*glares Lynxia Life Smile through screen* It's the opposite of a Death Glare. :P
You know, I'm picking up subtle vibes that she's slightly annoyed...
Hahaha. Yes. A bananaer. :P
Your siblings are in awe of my magnificence. Probably. :P
I'm sure she appreciates it Star!!
That's not a good sign Carrie lol
what is not a good sign?
Hi Cat!
What isn't??
Hey Cat
Hi Eve. How are all of you?
MILK! I HAVE MILK!
CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heya!
Um... Lynx is giving Carrie death glares because Carrie took over her account lol
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.
My sister said Thank you.
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**
My sister said that, so as to no be confused with Adra, she'd like to be refered to as Dem. (Her initials . . . )
Hi Cat!
*laughs* Her Loki helmet is awesome.
is she a zombie?
or an octopus?
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?!!!!!!!!
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...
Bbs, lunch!
^^ Lynx says yes.
KK Star!
(That yes was to me liking Thor btw!!)
Anybody got twitter or skype and want to add me??
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*
Sorry Emrald Melody.
Oh, and I'm back. I didn't realise we could take our lunches through to the other room . . .
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!)
It's iggyfletcher123
Hello again Star!!!!!!!!
I'm star.inkbright on Skype but I don't use it often.
Lol thanks Carrie

I have eight tentacles. *buries more bananas*
Oh, now I know why she's on her phone, she's emailing.
@Lynx - who you emailing?
...
Ow! She threw a cushion at me... :C
Lynx!!!!
She says she's emailing awesome. Is there anyone here called Awesome? Online or otherwise?
I do not think so...
*raises eyebrows* Freakfan???? Coz freakfan's display name is summat like The Awesomely Awesome Llama Who Is Awesome (aka Freakfan)
*puts on dear stalker and fedora* I shall use my detective skills to find out!
@Lynx - Gimme your phone!
Lynx - No, get lost!
Me: *laughs* Lynxia Lost?
Lynx: *throws another cushion*
*raises eyebrows* Freakfan???? Coz freakfan's display name is summat like The Awesomely Awesome Llama Who Is Awesome (aka Freakfan)
She's never mentioned Freakfan so probably not.
I doubt it's Freakfan
Well, I am flattered
I doubt it IS Freakfan. Just, Freakfan's name's Awesome . . .

No, your ded, you do something with it
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!
There, finished and sent!
I judge people's cheesiness..... *villainous chuckle*
Nix, be impressed. I am almost dead.
I mean, be impressed that I managed to type words that made sense.

*dies from amazingness*
Night Nix!!!!
Yes, even to school. I'd impale anyone who told me to take it off!
I know that's what I thought!!!!!
there's this one Doctor Who/ Loki joke... hang on it's awesome. lemme find it..
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 . . .
Dr Who AND Loki!!!!!!!?
Anyways. Hi.

Aww STAR! *hugs*
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.
Adra i have Zaf's OC i saved it in my notes on my iPad
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
Ohhh send it to me!!!
adrasdosdark477@gmail.com
*takes his fez*
*dons it*
I LOVE IT
Whats awesome and amazing?
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.
Hey Cat!!!
And I try to repress the political standards of America.
Sally hates Labour's guts. Best they never meet, eh?
*is standing back, thinking how cool it is how you all spell labor*
Oh, Hello Asrasdros Dark.
Me leaves, now.
BYE
Yeah . . .
It's because we're English and we're awesome (but out politics sucks.)!!
Bye Flame!!!
bye Flame!!!
Howre ya cat!!!
*twitches* I must... write...
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
:P erm....
Do the Ameraminions spell colour with a u or are they special and spell it wrong?
We're special and spell it "color"
It's colour!! You need the u!! Like realise has an s not a z!! And Fall is Autumn!
Most wait... YOU saw Autumn?
They're special and spell it wrong! And they spell favourite like favorite and honour like honor!
And they spell grey gray!!!!
And light lite and night nite!
Autumn? We have Autumn ever year, it's a season, of course I saw it!
*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
Yeah. THAT'S stupid. the whole "lite" "nite" thing...
ITS LIKE DONUT AND DOUGHNUT
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!!
It's doughnut!
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
Tell her she's awesome and I want to hug her!! I don't get cell phone, it's just... Odd.
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
Wait... Is Eve still here?
Not a clue, she might have fallen asleep.
*laughs at cat's exclamation*
and okay, I'll tell her, :P
*screams* EVE!!! WAKEY WAKEY!!!
Watch this. This is brilliant.
ANDISTILLHAVEMIILLLLKKKKKKKK
okay... i do need names... but i dont really want any... procrastintating.... but i need those names
*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.
*headdesk* please say you're joking.
A cell phone IS a mobile... *laughs*
i often forget which words belong to which counries
I know that if any spelling looks wrong, it's probably American. No offence.
woooooooooowwww Thanks, Lynx. I really appreciate that.
*pats cat's arm* it's okay. Me too.
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.
*laughs*
namesnamesnamesnamesnames
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.
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
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?
