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 Star! Hi NJ!
I can stay a while! Finally got- well, I THINK I got all my chores done, but then again, I forget what I have to do... I can't remember everything! Anyway, yeah. I'm pretty sure I finished my chores and I can stay longer! :D
So HI!
Hey!! :P
I know, right Star!?
*hugs both back*
I am happy. How are you two doing?
In Pain.
And really upset for some reason. IDEK why!!
I am inky. Other than that, I'm happy because it's the HOLIDAYS!

Morning guys!! *hugs* How is everyone?
Hey Lynxia!!
*hugs*
I'm in pain and all like I said. :P
That's funny Star. :)
That's not good NJ. :(
Hi Lynxia!!!
HI LYNXIA!!! :D
I am inky, Lynxia. Other than that, I am happy because it's the holidays!
FIVE TIMES!!!!! *laughs*
Last night I fell in love with techno music...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvJuyzmCBkc
The original piano is beautiful but this just epic!!
Just remembered... Okay, so I know I just said I was happy, but lately I've been on and off with my moods...
Why, what's wrong, Lav?
That sucks Lavender
*hugs*
*is starting on a certain part of chapter three that has taken me about *counts* nine tries to do and I probably still haven't got it right . . .
Sorry Lynx. I don't like opening links on my iPod. Which is why I haven't read any blogs lately.
^^^right . . . *
@Lavender: :( Hope you start staying happy . . .
Fair enough Lav. People say I must have loads of people reading my blog because I've got *counts* 41 followers but most of them are never are on and there's only about 6 who usually do ad Lav, you're one of them anyway!
So. Many. People. On.
Hi Hel!! *hugs them pokes* You neeeed to post. You're killing me!!!
Hey Helena.
How're you??
I never worked out how to open links on my phone, but I've bookmarked all the blogs so that's: :)
HOW DARE YOU KILL LYNXIA???
Hi Heck!
I am, as we speak this fine morning, writing the moment when Drew tells Ellie everything.
*bounces round Em* Yay!!
It's just my friend's being a little... mean lately. And all the chores I have to do take a while for me to finish. So I never really have time to do other things. Well, I try to write in my free time because I'm stuck on this one part so I just started writing the ending. :P
So all in all, I've been angry, upset, frustrated, happy, and calm all in the past week... But I'm okay now. My friend and I just go on and off about things. I'm in my room, and she's resting on the bed we share.
OMG EM THAT IS AWESOME!!!
HOORAY!!
Hi Helena! Hi Em! :)
Okay, I really need to catch up with the blogs. :(
AWESOMESAUCE EM!!!!!!!
And, hi!
Ermm . . . That sounds good and bad, Lavender. Like the world. And humans in general.
Mostly bad, though. :(
IF-
Hi
Hi Nix!!
Hmmm... I don't know what to write... Any suggestions?
Yeah, but I'm okay now. Being here makes me happy. :) <-- See? Smileys. :)
Hi Nix!!! :D
I don't know
I'm writing a new thing, it's stupid
Hey Nix!!
I doubt it's stupid Nix.
I gotta go now all
Bye!!
*hugs*
How are you on Patchwork, Lynx?
*suppresses laugh*
My friend just snorted. She's definitely asleep.
Bye NJ! *hugs*
Bye NJ!
What is it about, Nix?
Bye NJ!
Hi Nix!
Ah don't worry Lav, your not missing much with my blog.
Nuh, Patchwork... It's a bit... Scratchy, frayed and I know where I need to go it's just getting there... Besides, the plot is non-existent and the characters aren't believable according to people at school who've seen it. They keep saying nobody would ever just except that that's what's going on like that.
Fours NJ!
About?
Survival
Yup. About Opstanak and him being free.
They keep saying nobody would believe Mort straight off.
Huh?
Mine's about survival I'm saying...
hello everbody
Hi Viv!
No, you were at least polite in your comment Nix. The way they said it, it wouldn't have been worse if they'd just slapped me.
Hey Viv!
Em- Still, I need to catch up with what's going on on he blogs.
Lynx- I think Patchwork's cool. What about Crescent? Hey, what's the one you posted recently? I read in the comments somewhere that you posted part of a different story.
Be right back.
Lynxia, you're confusing me
I hadn't read your comment just then when I wrote mine. Lav asked me what my story was about. I just said survival, then I read your comment, then you said that thing about Opstanak, and then Mort...
Erm... I've posted quite a few. In The Beginning, A Murderer's Dance and I think maybe some others.
Crescent, yeah I guess but I've just got no ideas for it at the moment.
Why is it, during term time when I have no time to write, I get loads of ideas but now, in the holidays I have none?!!
OK Lav!
Don't know what to say
Hi Viv.
We all love Patchwork though, and there is NOTHING WRONG with the characters! And maybe everyone just thought that Mort was a trustable person, have they thought of that?
Oh, I thought (cuz it had a capital S) you were on about Patchwork because Opstanak means Survival in Swedish I think it is. I thought at least one person had bothered looking up the names.
Mort - Death (French)
Liv - Life (can't remember)
Rätsel - Riddles (German)
Espoir - Hope (French)
Never mind Nix, doesn't matter.
Nobody else except you guys like my story Lynx.
Sure that doesn't stop me.
The same haters who put you and your writing down, will someday be your biggest fans.
Then you can proudly stick two fingers royally up at them :)
*salutes Em* Will do, ma'am.
It had a capitol because that's also the name of it
And Google translate no longer works on my computer. I can't look up different languages. It's been like that for a while.
Sorry, I had to go to dinner, so who's on now?
Hi Viv!
That sounds interesting, Nix. About Survival.
Well, you made Riddle(forgot how his name's spelled) have the ability to know when people are lying. Mort told him and Riddle believes him.
Gotta go now. Be back soon!
bye lavender
http://www.freetranslation.com/
That's the one I use. If you type in each name of the Emotions or Instincts it'll tell you what they are and what language. Except with one of the Instincts because the word has two translations he's actually Exploration but it comes out as something else.
Me, Lav, Niads, Em, and Viv, Helena.
Bye Lav!
Oh my god, please tell me this works....
who is niads?
Fours Lavender!
Hi XiaoXiao!
Niads = Nix + Lynxia.
Hey Xiao!
Niads - me and Nix.
Hi Xiao!
okay. Hi XiaoXiao I'm Vivstar
okay. Hi XiaoXiao I'm Vivstar
Okay, turns out I won't be back now or later. They just told me, me and my friend have to sing tonight! Gah! We are SO not ready!
Bye guys!
Bye Lav!! See you again soon (hopefully!!)!!! *hugs*
Hello?

i found it in the library and started to read it
This is my last day for a week.
/creys
And my other SP book hasn't come in the post, yet.
I have the one I bought for Ellikins, though.
Hey Guys :D
Sounds really good. Viv? Borrowing it from someone? Why don't you buy it for yourself?
hi RIM
*Fanfare blows*
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Chapter 13!!
HI Rim!
bye I have to got to dinner.
*Screams and goes to read*
Hey Willow!
Hi Rim!
EM!! YOU ARE EPIC!!
bye Viv!!
*goes to read chapter 13*
What Nix??
Hey, anyone that appeared.
Bye, anyone that left.
Nix?
I'm packing- I'll be very distant.
S'up, Nix?
Just depressed
L you can get anything DeathNote related on Etsy.
Where're you goin' L'? I like apostrophies and abbreviations atm.
Why Nix? Finished KOTW too fast??
Hi/fours anyone who came/went!
YAAAAYZ! *goes to read*
*whispers* Willow, he doesn't have KOTW. I LOVE DEATHNOTe!
I haven't got it yet.
Oh my Golden God!!
Nix is excited about my story???!!!
Lol I'm blushing, I'm honoured lol
EEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deacon's gonna get Ellie or something!!!!!!!!! *pounds floor* NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I commented btw)
*hugs Nix* No need to be depressed. You're fully entitled to, and all. But, it's not a good way to be spending your time.
Every time I come on Blogland and yo're all happy, I always feel proud and welcome. But, it hurts when I know just one of you isn't okay. So, I make sure I make you feel better. So, before I go on some huge tangent, is there anything I can do to help, sweetie? *smiles*
I read it Em. Sorry I didn't comment, I'm not feeling so well at the moment
I'd be depressed too then...
*frowns*
Sweetie? Why does that make me feel like a sulking six year old?
I gotta go now! Bye guys!! *hugs*
No, I'm not depressed about that (though it does add a fair amount)
Bye Lynxia!
Bye, Lynx! *hugs*
I call everyone sweetie..Or my dear. Or my darling dear...Or just darling...Or even darling dearest...Or even hun. *grins stupidly* S'up, Nixxxxxxxx? *prods*
. . . That's just so sad. Poor Drew.
Stupid Jessie.
Dinner
Bye!
Bye Nix!!!
Bye, Nix!
bye Nix!
wbd, reading
Must. Finish. This. Book. Before. KOTW!!
Wow. First.
I dedicate to honesty. Honesty is needed in the world. Honesty is needed is needed to build trust and if you trust a person and find out that they haven't been honest with you, it leads to a whole lot of pain for everyone. No matter how hard it is to be honest, we should always try and be honest to our friends and our family. Even if being honest will lead to upsetness and pain, you should still be honest because the longer you leave things, the worse it becomes.
Plus, being honest makes you feel better. Well, it makes me feel better. You know that you've done the right thing, and that always feels good.
I also dedicate to Em's story, for being brill and for inspiring the first bit of the ded.
See you Nix! Have a lovely dinner!
*huggles Star* That is an awesome dedication, Star. :3
great dedication Star!!
Nice Ded Star!!!!
ive done chapter 12!!
its very short...
http://mystoryofsomesortaboutsomethinghmm.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/chapter-12.html
Thanks. It's not like L's deds, but it's better than nothing.
Thanks. It's not like L's deds, but it's better than nothing.
*glares at Star*
My dedications are bad.
Do not compare my dedications to anything.
Maybe something seriously crap, though..
The last time I dedicated it was 4 words - I dedicate to skittles. :D
Ah Star, that was so nice.
Thank you so much :)
Gtg fours.
Bye Star
byeee Star!!
Oh.
Oh. OH. OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just ordered KOTW. Pleaded with my mom. She told me if I behaved well for another few weeks, and I told her it was going to arrive on August 20 something so it will be another month before I can get it.
She didn't agree. I made a deal with her. **Sighs, the sacrifices are the worst**
And after 10 minutes of pleading, persuading, and slamming the doors out of pure frustration, I FINALLY GOT THE DAMN BOOK!!
I GOTTA GO HYPERVENTILATE NOW.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye, Star! *hugs*
And if I don't see you later, I'm going to miss you very muchly. :c You're amazing, so are your dedications. Bye-bye, I'll miss you so muchhhhhhh! *hugs tight*
