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 4401 – 4600 of 4879 Newer› Newest»The fact that you're hurting isn't awesomesauce, I was talking about the moth/spider fight . . . You hurting is BAD. Why do you hurt?
I often have spiders in my room. Never any bats, though.
i hate spiders
cuz i be hurding myself.
in cub camp a few years bac, there was a beetle in the tent and my friend killed it, it rained for the rest of the camp and the obstical course was extra muddy, i was muddied from head to toe (litterally)
I despise mud. And sand.
ow
im exhausted, try having 5 year olds clinging on to you pretty much ALL day
how many?
auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
quite a few, i didnt realise i was soo popular with the littles...
goodforyou
thnx,
Um.. Sir Reingington?
who is still here?
im here
I still do exist.
im going now to watch sinbad
For all who were curious- the authors are now admins on the blog!!!
*hugs all*
heyyy
*hands out skul cakes*
Adra dear, skype!
I knowww! Internet is stupid
Missed you on here Kallie.
Good thing I hate being hugged.
*hugs Sir Rein*
*hugs Kallie*
I knew you were going to do that.
So I replaced myself with a dummy with a balloon for a head. I hope it pops.
You like balloons... You talk about iit frequently....
*dances around*
HEY EM! LOOK! IM NOT WRITING IM NOT WRITING NAH NAH NAH HAHAHAHA!!!
I hate them. I torture balloons, I'll buy an entire package just to throw it off of a bridge, with a brick tied to the package.
ohmyGOD. YOU... BALLOOSONIST
Certainly, Kallista.
*extends hand through screen*
A pleasure to meet you as well.
And thus, I now despise you.
Have fun floating about in a void for the rest of eternity.
Sir Rein is a bit of a downer, Kallie. It's okay. He hates me too.
I must admit, that was a new record for how long it took to dislike someone. The only person who's come close at all is most likely you, Adrasdos. Of course, that's your charm at the same time. It's like having an annoying niece that you don't want to spend time with, but you love it when she laughs at everyone you introduce her too.
Yayyy!!! That's like becoming Leiutenant of a Death Star... Any moment Darth Vader can choke you to death :P
Wait... Does that mean... YOU LIKE ME??? *theatrical gasp*
* lieutenant
I'm not sure how exactly you got that idea, so I'm simply going to walk away in disgust now.
Well the way spoke was insufferable, and quite frankly, harder to understand than Plank's constant...
And now I must go...
Be on lates!!! *hugs for all*
Except me, naturally.
32 views of Dublin Daes today!!!
That's mad lol Who are all these people?
Probably people who keep rereading the story.
Why would they do that??!!!
That's even more crazier then just random people reading the blog lol
Hello all
*waves*
Nobody here?
TimTams?
So then, how many people are stalking the blog?
So no one then. Who here objects to me destroying EVERYTHING that has ever existed? A show of hands, now.
I would, but you already destroyed my hand. Damn you. I can't even shake my fist at you.
Shame. Well, looks like no one has raised their hands. Looks like I get to do it.
DEMOCRACY!
I demand a re-vote!
Alright, a show of hands. Again.
Hi...sorry we were moving furniture to the spare room.
Wait... What?
What exactly are you showing hands for?
Well, you came too late Zafira. The tally has been finished a second time. It was a unanimous vote to allow me to erase everything from existence, as if it had never happened. Sorry.
And let's be honest, a third vote would be RIDICULOUS.
Oh no you dont
*has Cleavers arrest you*
**stares**
Should I be picking a side in this?
Are you threatening Democracy, Zafira? TERRORIST, TERRORIST, HE HAS AN OPINION DIFFERENT THAN MINE! ARREST HIM!
Im no terrorist why would I blow up America if im the Grand Mage?!
Then again, it would be PERFECTLY fine if we just discussed this over 3000 times in Congress, or whatever the international equivalent is. That would get us ALL kinds of places.
**starts humming**
Let's start a riot... (dah-dah) a riot... let's start a riot... (bah-dah-dah-dah)
Rioters? GET THE PEPPER SPRAY!
IT'S A SONG YOU MONKEY! JUST BECAUSE I BRUSHED YOUR CAR AS I WALKED BY DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREAK OUT AND SHOOT TO KILL!! AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S VEHICLE!
*unleashes Hollow men into the conversation*
It was your Grandmother's? SHOOT IT MORE, GET RID OF THE OLD PERSON SMELL!
You know, I just realized. Everyone posting has a monochromatic avatar.
It's like being in a silent film.
IT DOESN'T SMELL LIKE OLD PEOPLE!! YOU'RE SUCH A HOBO!! And not in a good way!!
Silent films amuse me.
Actually, I'm a trap. A little one, to be exact.

**mutters**
Well I can count to schfifty-five!!!
/wonkyyoutubevideoforthewin
I'm swirly
I can count to 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.
Note I said CAN.
DEAR AVOTICA,
Swirls are fun.
DEAR SIR,
Bravo. **applauds**
O.o
Oh. Zafira. You're back. With your slightly red avatar. What a... pleasure.
Jekyll and Hyde!!!!
They'll never be able to seperate Jekyll from Hyde!
HELLO!
No! People without monochromatic avatars!
What if they had a REALLY sharp knife?
Hey Reingington, wanna hear a really short story I just wrote? You're in it.
Story of the year. I mean, if I'm in it, it CAN'T fail, right? Wait, why am I asking you this? I'm always right. Except when I'm left.
**promptly hits Sir in the face with a pie**
Once upon a time, Ivy Animosity kicked Sir Reingington very hard in the face. The end.
Tada! The story is incredibly extraordinary, but I managed to put it into words.
Okay, I don't think I know Lily or Avotica, so hello!
Very interesting. I like the first sentence, it has two VERY attractive words in it.
It's very nice to meet you. I would shake your hand, but the last time I did that here I was turned into a zombie. So please don't take it personally.
That was a very touching, beautiful story. Really.
I won't take it personally, and thank you, the story made my mind explode when I wrote it because it was just absolutely fantastic. I put my head back together, of course, but it still exploded and that's what counts.
I'm Avotica
Yes I am
Hello
Hm. I wonder why it hasn't been circulated around the internet yet? Ah, that's right, those darn hipsters, not accepting the amazing things of today.
And I'm Valkyrie.
Yes I am.
Hello to you, Avotica.
Yes, the hipsters who I don't communicate with in the real world.
Probably because I don't really communicate with anyone, but...
I'm a repeated comment.
Yes I am.
Hello to you, world.
Yes, yes, the head explosion really is what counts. Sadly, though, the kind of awesomeness it takes to make one's head explode is very hard to come by. Yet you managed to do it! **applauds**
**realizes she didn't say hello to Avotica or Zafira**
OH. FUDGE. Well, hello. Nice to meet you. Both.
The world doesn't say hello back, Reingington.
I set a bit of a trend there, didn't I?
Anybody care for a cup of tea and a TimTam biscuit to use as a straw?
Is it hot or iced tea?
Head explosions are quite wonderful. I think Sir Reingington may want to experience one.
THE SEQUEL TO THE STORY!
Ivy Animosity touched Sir Reingington's head, and when it exploded, Ivy laughed. She left to wash the pieces of brain off her. The end.
I'll have tea!
But I don't know what a TimTam is. I'll just have a Jammie Dodger.
But you could collect the brain in a jar you could
Have a brain collection
And hot tea, of course.
I'm not sure what it is with you people and food straws. I prefer the old-fashioned crazy straws.
I LOVE THE SEQUEL! **wipes tears of awe away**
I would like some tea and a TimTam (whatever that may be), please! :D
I like the crazy straws that also wind around your face, like glasses. I've never had the chance to use it though...
Hm. I must say, the addition of my name makes it even more beautiful. Now then, I'm going to disappear. But when I get back, I am reading EVERY. SINGLE. COMMENT. So watch what you say, fellow Minions. Or else I may attack and maim you in a montage of Bon Jovi music.
**waves** See you later! I'm looking forward to the maiming and the montage! :D
Woah, we're halfway there
Woah, we're living on prayer!
**tilts head at Avotica** I'm assuming that's part of a song. What song?
Living on prayer.. Bon Jovi...
IVY WAS HERE
I only listen to Bon Jovi occasionally, and I ultimately FAIL at remembering song titles.
xD way to go, Valkyrie!
I dedicate this page to reading. Reading is something almost everyone needs to be able to do. When I read, it's like I'm in a whole different world, in a place where I don't have to deal with whatever I'm dealing with in the real world. Books have made me laugh, cheer, scream, cry, and plenty of other emotions. Reading is also what inspires me to write, and to use my imagination more than the average person my age. And without reading, what would writing be useful for anyway? No one would understand it. Or care. So I dedicate this page to reading, because reading is awesome.
Silence will fall
Hi
*leaps out and lunges at Zafira*
INTRUDER!!!
*is about to chop her head off*
*realises it's Zafira*
Oops...
Thanks I feel loved xD
On my SP roleplay i got hit by a brick. I have no idea how. Some mage got ticked off at me
I like hitting people with bricks...
Bricks HURT!
That's the point.
Oh, and I would suggest not punching brick walls. I did that once when I got angry, and the brick wall apparently got angry back because it made my hand hurt... a lot...
Its not nice! D:
We called the Irish potatoe eaters cuz im at war atm..uhm
Craap Derek is Irish isnt he?
Of course Derek's Irish. How could you forget?!
And I work for the Irish Sanctuary, you know.
Right. Blonde moment. I thought he was Scottish for a minute.
And I know. Im American Grand Mage
I'm Irish Detective. HOW DARE YOU ATTACK! *tackles*
Hey!!!
*sends wave of darkness at*
Im suffering from KOTW Withdrawl and I wanna Meet Derek Itus
D:
I was able to read the prologue, chapters 1, 2, and 3, but other than that I'm dying for it... They are the only things that have been able to keep me sane. Well, almost sane. I wasn't sane to start out with.
*sneaks up on Val*
*kicks her feet out from under her*
I LOVED BATMAN SO MUCH.
Just the ruthlesness of people... Like Darquesse...
AND THE ENDING!!! *dies again*
I won't tell
*falls on the ground* *grabs Adra's ankle and pulls her down, causing her to smack face-first into the wall*
Hello again!
It's grand to see you too!
*Kick's Val's face, then scrambles to her feet, jumping on Val's form.*she leans down*
How are you today
*growls at Adra, pushes at the air to make her fly off, and is satisfied when she hits the wall again*
I'm just dandy, thanks for asking. And you?
I'm barking brilliant. *kicks Val in the face, punches her kidneys and then knees her nose, smiling at the satisfying crunch*
Thanks for asking dear.
*frowns at now broken nose*
You know, that was my good nose. Well, it was my only nose. But a good nose nonetheless. You broke my good and only nose. You sick, sick person.
*pushes Adra over, steps on her knee, and snaps her elbow* *wanders off to find Nye to fix my nose*
*grabs fistful or Val's hair and yanks back on it, making Val fall on her back.*
*puts boot on stomach*
And you threw my face into a brick wall. I hardly call that fair.
*extends arm, and puts a fist in the arm, hearing the crack as it realigns itself*
*swings metal pole into Val's legs, snapping both*
*turns to look at Adra*
Who ever said I was a fair person? Fair people tend to lose to people who cheat.
*calls Fletcher* *teleports to Nye and gets injuries healed*
*curls up in a corner and starts reading Death Bringer* *gasps*
How does this author know everything about me?! HE TOLD THE WORLD MY SECRET!!!
*laughs at Val's craziness*
Who said there isn't an equal Valkyrie Cain?
*gasps*
It's almost as if... You took her name or something!!!
DEREK! I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING! EVEN IF IT'S USELESS!
You know how Valkyrie can hear Darquesse talking to her inside? You know, telling her to be violent and evil and crazy? Well, remember in book one when the man from the house hit the Bentley? There was a voice in her head telling her to look up because someone was coming for her and she needed to focus. Was that Darquesse trying to keep her alive? Or am I just being incredibly obsessive? Well, I know I'm being incredibly obsessive anyway, but you know what I mean. So was that her? Is that possible?
*is shocked at Adra's accusation*
Why, that's nonsense! I'm Valkyrie Cain! And Stephanie Edgley! And Darquesse!
*realises what she just said*
Craaaaaaap... I just told you who I was!
*rolls eyes* How many people do you suppose have read the Skulduggery Pleasant series, and know "your" secret?
Hopeless.
WHAT? OTHER PEOPLE KNOW TOO?
Derek Landy, are you TRYING to get me hunted down and killed for being an insane murderer?!
I mean, uh... I'm a unicorn! *skips around a meadow, trying to act innocent* *sees a little kid*
*screams in terror and runs*
AHH ITS A SILVER UNICORN
No, I'm a scary purple Necromancer unicorn who likes to stab people and has a fear of little kids.
And, um, YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT I'M DARQUESSE!
*runs off and hides in a tree, eating a taco*
When speaking to a man who has just turned into a human after being a werewolf:
"...You just need to answer a few questions. Can you do that?"
"Y-yes"
"Good man," said Skulduggery. "Have you had anything unusual happen to you recently?"
"Yes."
"And that was?"
"I turned into a werewolf."
LOL IS THAT LEGIT???
where did you get chapters 2 and 3?
A certain minion in Australia who likes to eat live chickens and sample my blood...
Do you have a copy of what she sent to you?
No, not really.
And my computer is dying now, so bye!
BYE VAL!!! *hugs*
Beat you up later!!!

Hi people!
The comments on the previous page made me laugh SO MUCH. I am not even kidding. They were hilarous.
Hi.
Oh, wait, I already said hi.
Never mind, I'll say it again. Hi.
Hi Star!
I am sick of writing. I actually am. *wonders why I'm talking like Emily from rockclimbing all of a sudden*
I'm just watching PewDiePie
I'm emailing Lavender.
I'm typing this sentence
I'm very annoyed at myself.
Reason?
I'm an idiot.
I forget too many things I really shouldn't forget and then I let other people down.
Bye Necromancerz, hi Star!
BANANAS!
