The Spoiler Zone is still the only place you can discuss KOTW, but while you're doing that, this is a book review that Amazing Phil did on Blue Peter. I used to watch Blue Peter all the time when I was growing up, so it's pretty cool to be featured on it, and I reckon Phil did a fantastic job of grabbing the attention of non-Skulduggery readers.
It's also really nice to catch a few glimpses of Skulduggery himself... I think the exploding pillar thing is EXCELLENT... and it really makes me want a Skulduggery movie even more...

Star's right. I'm not going to stop my point until I've been proven either wrong or right. I'll admit when I'm wrong. I just don't think many people give me a good argument to why I'm wrong.
Eve, I've got stuff in my head. But that's where it stays: in my head. What's in your head doesn't matter. I've killed people in my head. But it's not a fatc I've killed people.
*fact
Hi Star
YAY! I'M RIGHT!
I'm not taking sides here, because I think you've both right in your own ways.
Bye Death!
You know, I didn't say Mahogany wasn't like Clarabelle so someone could argue. I don't blame anyone for thinking Mahigany is like her, because I haven't GIVEN the information to say she isn't. But now, just now, I am personally telling you that she isn't like Clarabelle. And nothing will change that unless I make her change herself in my head. Logic doesn't beat the imagination because it has absolutely no right to. *shrugs*
Hello!
WOW THAT WAS EDUCATIONAL!
I learnt more from that then from school today :)
Hey *frowns* You guys sent Tyler away!
Master, I know what you mean about how Mahogany is mostly in your head and not on paper. Same for me with my characters.
I think you and Nix are talking about different things. Eve is saying how the person she invented is in her head, Nix is saying how she comes across when written about. Different.
*points finger at Star*
That is too darn true!
Romana - I know!!!! I learnt so much about writing and about people from Blogland.
Nix, Mahogany is in my head. That's where she was born, that's where she lives. Of course I can't say Mahogany is like one of your characters, because if you said I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I can't say Mahogany is like Star's character, because Star can instantly jump in and say I'm wrong, and so it would be wrong. As long as I'm not putting anything from actual reality, or from someone else's imagination, into my imagination, I can't be wrong. Logic and visual proof has nothing to do with the matter.
Personally I don't think a character is a character until it's in writing, but that's my opinion and I'm not going to push it
*blinks* I'm not used to being right. It's slightly overwhelming.
Eve, me saying something doesn't make it wrong or right until there is proof. Neither does Star, or you
*looks at Nix* That IS too darn true. And I am trying to tell you that. I just told you that I'm not talking about his she comes across. But you kept arguing.
Eve, and I'm talking about what she is as a character, in my opinion. But you said your opinion was final and the truth. I don't think a character is a character until it is somewhere but inside your head, and I don't think a character acts a certain way just because it's that way in your head
brb
Have we stopped arguing?
Hi Tyler!
I think so... not sure :/
Hi maya! And I remembered that I am Tyler!
*Victory Dance*
How are you?
Well, I'm sorry that you don't see it my way. If you want to understand it better, think of it as this: I created Mahigany to be my imaginary friend. Then I decided to write a little bit about her. She doesn't live on the paper, she lives in my head. My imaginary friend. So when I say "Mahogany isn't like Clarabelle", I am not saying "By reading what I've written about Mahogany, she is not like Clarabelle." I'm not talking about what I've written. That's what youre talking about, right? That's not what I'm talking about. So let's just leave it at that.
And if you still don't see it from my point of view, sorry again.
*grins* Congrats!
Pretty good thanks until I realised I have a gymnastics zone day tommorow. The routine of which do not know. You?
Why be sorry? It's a difference of opinion
Second thoughts YES the argument/debate IS still ongoing
Sorry that I'm arguing about it if you can't see it my way, I mean
I'm struggling to respond to that without being annoyed
You make it sound like if it isn't your way, it's wrong...
I'll be back later, and I'm decent...
*Starts throwing Twilight merchandise at Nix in an attempt to shut him up*
TAKE A GOD DAMN BREAK! BOTH OF YOU! NOW!
Death, not to be completely rude, but this isn't your business, and you're not doing anything but being annoying at the moment...
Well, that'a probably because I still believe I'm right :)
Is this a bad time to come in?
I am trying to have fun on this blog and you two are ruining it for me! I missed out on going to the movies because I wanted to talk to you guys! I think it is my business!
GRRRR!
Bye Tyler
Not at all. Civil debating, that's all. No noses are bleeding, no scandalous secrets were revealed :)
I really hope so...
I shall be incredibly distant, I have 3 chapters to write up...
Don't wurreh, Death. I think it's done now. There are plenty of people who aren't arguing though. They're lonely :P
Because... OMG! I am so pissed! I am leaving! I probably won't be back until tomorrow! That is how annoyed I am right now!
*is wearing Nyan Cat T-shirt* I got it yesterday!! ^-_-^
Leaving doesn't solve anything Death, if anything, it hurts you and others too.
brb
Sorry, my internet died . . .
Hi anyone who came, bye anyone who left!
Wow, I think I made you two partially agree with each other . . . O_O
Never thought I could do that. Appreciate my genius, for you won't see it again.
Death...you can always just ignore the people who are arguing and focus on the people who aren't. They might actually be interested in having a chat.
*grins hugely* Sorry Star, I still don't agree. I'm stubborn with this subject. *strokes imagination soothingly* There there. Someone will understand you one day.
Well, I missed out on going to the movies with my best friend who is leaving in a few days to go to Darwin just to talk with you guys!
I'm not agreeing either
As long as someone doesn't say agree to disagree I'm fine. Because that is a stupid statment
Then talk! Don't waste time trying to break up arguments! Me and Nix weren't the only ones here.
I don't even know what "agree to disagree" means.... Lol :P
Fours Death! And look, they stopped arguing, they're debating. Like I just saud to Zath, debating is fun. :)
Agree to disagree means agree on the fact that you don't agree. :P
*nods at Eve* That's why I put the partially there. Okay, if you didn't agree, at least you understood each other.
Me back.
WB
HELLO!
Hi Hel!
Hi Hel!
S'up Bros!
How's it going Em?? XD
Hey Nix! Hello Lynx! EM! *hugs*
*then hugs Lynx*
Hiya Emerald and Helena! *shakes head* No I'm so so sorry this is a no-pixie zone.
Gtg now. :(
Fours!
Puck: *is speechless*
Hel: HEY ROMANTIC!
*frowns* Well then how does that change anything. Of course we disagree, that was established as soon as we started arguing. Hehe, what the hell? :P
See you Star!
My writing is suffering.
Damn headaches.
Hi Lynxia, hi Helena, Hi Mem, bye Starmap!
*hugs back then starts doing the dance to POPOPO* Po po, way way, po po, way way, nai shai Len na!
Bye Star!
Okay...
Hey Eve!
It's a catchy song!!
Flame e-mailed me at 1.50 am. Woah. Dedicated.
I'm not sure to what though, I just wanted to say that...
I ded this page to having a debate. Some people don't seem to realise the differnce between a debate and an argument. I like a debate, as long as it's with someone intellegent
Oh, and some of the people on the forums... oh my god, not to be in insulting, but they can be a little thick
*laughs* Sorry. Very sorry. Just Nix, you spelt intelligent wrong...
We must debate sometime then Nix lol
Though... I might lose!
Spelling doesn't equal intelligence
I can't debate to save my hide. *sits down* I don't want to lose my butt so leave me out. *sways to song* #Neko Ni Naritai!#
I know Nix, I'm sorry. I just found it ironic.
Just make sure you aren't debating on here!
Guys, me needs help with something, if a population is 8 million and only 1/2 a million die, is that very shocking or should it be more?
Just a little more I think... though that's just my opinion
How many?
Hmmm... 0.75?
Or three quaters
Three quarters?? Heck, he's an evil mastermind let's kill of three quarters of London!
*off
No, I kinda meant three quaters of a million... but whatever you want
Oops, ah well. Over 5 million are dead now. Oopsies.
I have to go now so I'll leave you with this...
The lights in the room faded as a projection screen unwound from the ceiling, lowering into place behind Beam.
"So, after the business in London, Domito and McGregor have come to the conclusion that Shade has an Aquanan, someone who controls water." A picture of the Thames river appeared on the screen, except all the water was gone. "This picture was taken two months and three days ago. We believe the next target is Sudbinam and then off around the world. We've pulled you all out of missions all over the world, Void in America, Probe in France, Chameleon in Scotland and we've even had to halt training to some extent while also picking up some new hands. Our fellows around the world are getting worried, water was no where to be found in London for five weeks and if any passed through to the city in instantly vanished, no explanation so the government pointed the finger at us. Over five million died, and while London had a population of eight million and it was utterly decimated by a misused power. Now, compared to other cities like New York, Paris, Berlin and Sydney, London is tiny. If Shade does have an Aquanan, he can cut off whole harbours and even whole sections of countries, in dry places this is going to get very bad. This is going to beyond bad and wave goodbye to catastrophic." The image changed and now they were looking at a thermal projection of a storm.
"This is tropical storm Rachel and is fast approaching the east coast of America whilst nearing hurricane speed. If Shade does have someone who can control water we're betting this is his next target and if he gets to this, we're stuffed basically."
*claps*
Hi Gabriel!
I'm back cos my internet was being a pain :(
Hi Gab!
Oh. I just finished reading Kingdom of the Wicked, so...
Hiya Nix.
And I'm still wearing my suit.
I just found out that my book has to be the MINIMUM of 50,000 words and 200 pages
Well there goes me thinking I was almost finished lol
You're writing a book?
I am
dublindaes.blogspot.com
Tis the book :D
Yeah, most books are 50 000 words. Mine's only 9 000 at the moment.
It's not the words I'm worried about, I have nearly 45,000 words.
It's the pages lol I only have over 130 and I thought I was nearly finished.
Just change the font size him. If it's almost 50 000, with the right font size it should be that.
You guys are good writers.
Me, I can't write to save my life.
I've been writing for years so it's all just a product of practice
You can be just as good Gabriel, it just takes a lot of learning and figuring out what works for you.
Then worry about other people.
Yeah, I think I half understand that.
I don't think I practice enough. Stupid school.
School was were I did some of my best writing lol
As if I ever did any school work lol
If you want to get to a standard of writing that suits you, and you want to be able to be the great writer you know you can. There is always a way to find time for it.
Wow. I really am lazy. I try to find time to do things but it always seems like I'm too busy. Too busy with school and stuff. And I don't even study.
Hi Gabriel! I don't think we have officially met! I am Death Rose, able to kill people and things by glaring at them, able to twist gravity and put people into and out of trances! And recently discovered that I can create fire!
Hi Death, I think I saw you at the Requiem Ball.
Probably!
*Shrugs*
I was there a lot!
Have you finished KOTW?
dinner
Bye!
Bye, Nix.
Hi Death.
HELLO!!
I meant to say ages thatI had to go. But I couldn"t. So yeah. I need to go now Farewell-ness!
Bye Everyone thats going, I will be distant too.
is anyone left?
Back. Kind of.
I'm half here, not really, more like a figment of my imagination... I think..
I honestly don't know anymore..,
Okay, bye.
Bye
The one thing I hate about hot weather is the bugs... I was in the shower and a bug started flying around. Grossness.
While I was attempting to kill the bug with boiling hot water, I remembered the point of my statement about Mahigany before I started arguing with Nix.
I don't want Pleasant Dae writers to write about Mahogany as though she is Clarabelle. Because she's not. *narrows eyes at Nix* She's not. So, rather than making stories about her in my head, I have decided to take action. No, I haven't written another story about her. Far too lazy for that, ahem... I want you to go by this profilian, not the chapter I wrote, because that wasn't supposed to show her personality, just how good she is at making impressions ;)
So here (I'll esnail it to you anyway) :
Mahogany's Profilian
Name: Mahogany Reen
Age: 19, almost 20.
Magic: Elemental
Gender: Female
Appearance: Mahogany has long light brown hair and blue eyes, warm expression. Wears colours like faded red and brown and faded white. Always dresses casually, except when she is expected to dress formally, in which case she would dress in the most beautiful dress you've ever seen. She's funny like that.
Personality: A kind girl, she truly is, she doesn't believe that anyone is as horrible or scary as they might think they are. She's always on a quest to bring out the good in people. She doesn't mind seriousness, but hates to see friends upset, and will do lots to cheer them up. She hates to use magic in an act of violence unless it is absolutely necessary. Loves to use magic to make life every bit easier and more fun. She's trustworthy, fun, and at times, she can be quite sly and cheeky. She respects privacy and distance, but refuses to stop believing that everyone loves a good chat every now and then. Never hides a smile, and although she may seem a bit simple-minded or dreamy or bubbly at first, she has both feet on the ground and, in her opinion, is definitely worth getting to know.
History: Elemental magic has always come easily to Mahogany. Her family and their friends watched her as she grew up, and were absolutely astonished when she threw her kindergarten teacher into the sandpit without even touching her. She had been four years old at the time, and even in her adorable innocence she had been kicked out of kindergarten....and then primary school.... Her family decided to homeschool her, but she barely paid attention and spent her time reading the dictionary and sending her pet fish into shocking water tornadoes. It still lives. She turned all offers for jobs in the Sanctuary, and the only work she's ever done is helping friends and teaching kids how to spell. She isn't exactly bound to her country. One week she's snowboarding on the mountains of New Zealand, the next she's throwing tomatoes in Spain...
Hello....
Interesting... Sounds a bit like me; random, acts crazy but is actually not, well at least when you get to now her! Love it eve!
Hi Kessie!
;)
Cool character. You were right,(of course you were, you're the author), she doesn't sound much like Clarabelle.
Hello LeStarre! I dont think we have "officially" met, I'm Death Rose! I'm an adept, able to kill things by glaring at them, able to twist gravity and put people in and out of trances! Most people in comas have dreamt about me the night before!
And newly discovered elemental
We have met, Death. When you were Sanguine's girlfriend I was part of an argument that Tanith did nothing special when she was stabbed by the White Cleaver.
Oh, but "officially"? I do remember that actually... But just being official!
*Bows*
I am Kestrel LeStarre, master of torture and all manner of unpleasant deaths, at your service. I am a symbolist training under China Sorrows, and I have a vendetta against Skulduggery.
*bows in return*
S'up Bros!
Oh, yeah, I am also Grande Mage of the new Florida AS.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like you! You sound great! I have a vendetta against the detective too! And tourture...
*Shakes head*
You're great!
And if you ever want someone to die and are friends with Serpine, I can recreate his deaths! But just glaring at them! As long as I can see them, can even be a kilometer away, I can still kill them!
*Grins*
I'm quite able to kill anyone I need to. I do have twin katanas that can steal a soul with a touch after all.
Grande mage? Wow! All the Sanctuaries around the world want me for one thing or another, mainly littering!
What's your reason against him? I am mad at him for what he did to China at the end of Death Bringer.
Well that was a great welcome Kestrel lol
God your both so viscous... I like it!
Well, my sanctuay is literally 3 days old. And I only have one Elder so far.
NICE! Where did you get them? Can you tell me? I have a cleaver's scythe after all...
Em, viscous means an entirely different thing than vicious.
Death, they were specially made by Vile, but then they were stolen and hidden in a block of stone in a crypt somewhere, and I just happened to find them. They seem to have taken to me.
Totally. Mahogany is ackchally nuthenn lahk Clarrybell :P
S'up Mem!
Well, I kind of drive his Bentely into a tree at the ball and he kind of blew up my house, with all my books in it, and yeah...
I have to go now. SEE YA!
I convinced a cleaver to kill his partner while working in a case, then I stole the blade
That's the word I was looking for!!
Damn auto-correct!!
Bye LeStarre! I have to go to sleep. I'm in bed and SHOULD be sleeping but not...
Night!
Bye Kessie!
I have returned!
Hi Kessie!
I am still here, partially, maybe...
I think
Nope, I'm gone again
Then how did you type that? Wait, don't answer that.
Have you heard about the party we're throwing Derek for his birthday?
Wait! No, I am back!
We are throwing a party for Derek's birthday on October 23rd. Everyone is making something SP related, and posting a link or a picture of it as a "birthday present"
And I'm bringing the cake.
What? There is a party? No! Can I come? Please?
Yes! It is a Blogland party for Derek's birthday! It is for EVERYONE!!
Yay! I will make some necromancer asessories
Yay! Party!
*Starts humming 'Happy Birthday' then stops, looking at little brother's sleeping form on the bed next to mine*
um...I would never be able to come online when I am supposed to be asleep if someone were in the room with me. Very impressive.
I'm sneaky! My little brother is a light sleeper and my head is under the dunna
I'm going to a party!
What's a dunna? I sleep alone, so I can do it easily.
Party time

Would you mind reading this? It is my fanfic....
Yay! I am first!
I dedicate this page to staying up late, waking up at 2:30 am, killing sleeping patterns with a massive test tomorrow, talking to randoms, the Sanctuary in Florida, Mahogany, waking up early (or late in Irish times) just to talk to Eden Threatening!
Yay! I am first!

That was a lot of dedications....
But thanks for dedicating to my Sanctuary!
Aww, thanks xD
Brilliant! I need more!
My story? Thanks! I am working on chapter 2 now....
That is okay! I'm screwing with my sleeping patterns and it actually hurts!
*Yawns*
So tired!
I'm going to sleep, I'll be back in maybe four hours or something like that, I need SOME sleep
*Laughs*
Yeah your story! Its brilliant!
Gracias.
Bye, goodnight!
Bye Death!
I have to go now. Bye!
Bye guys
*Falls asleep thinking 'God, I need some self control'*
Of course, this is the moment where I get Mahogany totally wrong and create another arguement . . .
Just gonna go clean out my rabbit, be here after that . . .
Bye Kessie!
You won't get her wrong, Star. I trust ya. Just use your skills and avoid mirroring my Pleasant Dae chapter. :)
Maybe this will help you a bit. This is the kind of attitude level she'd be in by now:
Mahogany added a third layer of peanut butter onto a piece of wholemeal bread and licked the rest off the buttering knife. Eve observed the experiment disgustedly.
"Ew," she said and was ignored when Mahogany started squirting tomato sauce onto the peanut butter. After that, a thick blanket of pepper. Mahogany stuffed the abomination into her abnormally large mouth, and shrugged disappointedly as she tasted. Taking another slice of bread, she tried a different combination, starting with lemonade which soaked through the bread.
"You eat a lot," Eve remarked.
Mahogany looked up, her hands hovering at chest height. "Healthy food only."
"So chocolate sauce on potato chips in a cheeseburger is healthy?"
"Healthy for the SOUL."
Shielding herself from a puff of flour, Eve looked around at Mahogany's house. "You know, when you said you'd gotten a place of your own, I didn't believe you."
Mahogany shrugged and smiled. "A lot can happen in a period of time, girlfriend. Or should I say... Wait, I forgot how to speak Japanese. Never mind."
"Poland, Mahogany. We're in Poland."
"That doesn't make me remember Japanese again. What brought you to my wonderful country anyway?"
"You don't have a country, Moggy," Eve said, a smile rising on her lips. "Neither of us do."
Mahogany looked away. "Eve, I've changed. Suddenly I like the idea of a permanent home. I want to -"
A noise came from the front of the house. Someone was unlocking the door. With a key.
Eve's blue eyes studied Mahogany's face, which was slightly tanned from some exotic and sunny holiday.
Her sisterly friend struggled to maintain her composure. "Well," she began, a little flustered. "I guess my mind changed back." The two of them put on awesome sunglasses. "Let's roll."
Successfully sneaking out of the house Mahogany had broken into, she and Eve made for an airport.
I'm not very fussed. I don't mind if you don't get her right, or if you don't include her a lot. It's just that she's not the random hyper girl she was in my chapter :)
Am I in the middle of another debate?
Oh wait.
Never mind.
Am I the only one here?
Hi Nix! Hi Gab!
Hi Eve. Place seems quiet.
Okay, I guess, never mind. Distant.
Hi people!
Wbd.
Wbd?
Hi Star.
Hi Star.
Hi Gab! Wbd = will be distant.
Hi Star
Hi Nix! Hi Eve!
Oh. Right.
EVERYONE IS DISTANT NOWADAYS
SOWWY.
It doesn't matter anyway. I guess people change..
Yeah. S'parr of life.
