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...

Bye!
I am not going to let this place be empty for the whole day, like every other day
Hello! I failed my test! I was THAT tired!
HI PEOPLE!
Gtg in 15 minites. Damn school.
I would help Nix with solving the emptyness problem if I didn't have school . . . :(
Oh, right.
NEW POST, PEOPLE!
Emptiness problem???
What tiMe is it?
HI ALL!
Ah, geez, he's put up a new post again, hasn't he?
So guys, what is the deal with the SP movie? Cuz I keep hearing all these different things about it, and I'm not sure what's true or not.
I used to watch it alllllll the time! It was my favorite show!!
( Blue peter)
( Blue peter)
that was sooooo cool, makes me excited to know that atleast more people will know about SP XD
the closest thing we could get to a movie would be a manga novel of some sort the we could see the action...
that hole hole in the wall was awesome too!!!!
There will be a movie deal.
SOON.
I got a copyright claim on the video so it was taken down, sorry guys :c
Okay. So. Lemme just say, I LOVE DEREK. I am an avid reader and writer, and he is my inspiration! I have been his minion since the very beginning. However, My dad is a soldier. And this means I live in Germany, as the army has posted my dad there. So I have no chance of ever meeting him :'( Another thing, my dad is often away in Afghanistan or other foreign posts, so our chances of making time to visit are incredibly slim... So, If Derek ever reads this, I'd just like to tell him: "Derek I love you! In fact, there's a whole load of us down here in Germany who adore you! Hopefully I'll be able to make some time in the future where I can visit you. Lots of love, Ellie and the rest of the soldiers children"
Day made....

DEEEERELKKK!!!!
I know you stalking the Blog. You got a paper with questions today....ANSWER!! I demand you
I'm not Derek but I'm stalking you. Hi!
He doesn't often respond to Deeeerelkkk.
Not nicely, at least.
My keyboard spazzed! I had 'Derek' then it froze and posted and boeh.
*smacks keyboard*
Derek, stop hiding and show yourself!!
Now the odds of him reading that are the odds of him touring America......sooooo.....i believe i am safe
Plus, even if he does read and does threaten me he cant get me unless he found a way to get to America.
Derek STOP HIDING!!!!!!
Case settled. You stalk us. Just admit it and post
Derek, every time I come onto your blog, I see your eyes just staring back at me, and I start to question everything I've been doing with my life so far.
And then I wonder if I'm allowed to keep doing it.
((Also, thank you very very much for the books. They arrived the other day, and I'm still so excited about it.))
Thalia he's watching. He might be thinking we're insane. But, WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
Derek, come out come out wherever you maybe are.

Im going to wait. Book 9. Book 9. By book 9 if there isnt a tour im just asking to fly to Ireland. I CANT TAKE IT!!!
Yes. I will be 14 or 15...my parents might let me, I shall be mature starting NOW.
*has an insane look in my eyes*
i. Will. Get. A. Passport. To. Go. Meet. The. Golden. God. If. Thats. What. It. Takes.
We could go to the same hotel and maybe split the cost of a room..
I'd be 17 or 18 so i could go probably. I will go. I must! I cannot handle this
Oh, yeah. You almost definitely could. I am going to start saving now, and be really mature, so that I can convince my parents to let me go.
Definetly Kes definetly. And we shall , if we have wifi, be talking to Bloglandians as we wait lol. Aaaand then, we will just be enlightened by his presence
Oh yes. Listen, I have to go, but I will be back in about 10-15 minutes. We can attempt to plan it then.
Strike that.
Kk!!! Hurry baaaaack.
*paces planning*
i know you are reading this Derek. Dont you see how much we want to meet you? Are 'they' stupid enough to think we Ameriminions cease to exsist? ARE THEY?! I think they are. By Friday, September 14th, 2012. I will send my letter to the American publishers. I will tell them they are morons! They are!!! America is CLOSER then Australia no offense Aussies. We can benfit! Excuse my rant, but i dont care ill beg if i have to. Ill beg. I will lower myself to such standards as to BEGGING for them to send you here.
*looks at Kes*
Hi!!!
We would have to find out when and where he was doing the tours, so we could go at the right time and get a hotel in the right place.
Oh we will. I'll find outl we'll meet up and fly together. It'll be fun. Our carry on will be the books lol.
You know, Zaf, I could help you write that letter. I'm quite good at things like that.
Yep. Except we live in different states. We could maybe get connecting flights and meet on the second one...
Hmmm i got it saved on iPad ill post it
Dear HarperCollins,
I am writing this in regards to Skulduggery Pleasant. I am an American fan of the series. I have participated on Derek Landy's Blog and have come to find an issue. There has never been an American Tour. I am fully aware that there are less American fans then other countries. Though there are reasons. First off three of seven books are currently sold in America. If people are going to read the series they'll want to find the whole series. Not just three books. It is expensive to buy overseas. It was cheaper to buy the books sold in America then the ones that were not. Not everyone owns a Kindle or Nook. Next there is no advertisement of the books. I walked into Barnes and Noble the only local bookshop by me. I searched high and low and found not even one of the books. I asked a worker for help then. Even they did not know what I was referring to. If Mr. Landy was sent to America that problem would be fixed. If he went to different schools across the country children would hear of the books. I did a report on one of Mr. Landy's books in the series. My teacher showed it to all her classes. Most of the students in her classes went straight to the library for the first book and immediately began to read. If they had not heard of the books they would never have read. If one person managed to get a lot of stidents reading imagine what would happen if Mr. Landy himself spoke to an entire school. America is a pretty big country and the books could do so well if only there was effort made. Even if the rest of the series cannot be printed in America at this time please at least consider sending Mr. Landy over on tour. There are fans here in America who are dying to meet him. There are plenty of people who are clueless of his books that can be enlightened. I hope you will take this into consideration,
Sincerly
Btw i know there spelling mistakes i hafta go back and in Word fix that
Title be good. I can help you make it more official sounding. And also, they WANT it to be expensive, so we night have to cut that part.
HELLO!
No the cost for sending him. They'll make money off of events but they fret sending him via plane all over will be exoensive
VAL!
Zaf, I'll work on it tomorrow during LA.
Hi Val come help edit my letter xD its to HarperCollins
True.
Okay Kes, ill be on late i got drama auditions email me what you come up with
bellagaunt13@gmail.com
Zaf, do you want my email so we can iron out the details as the time approaches?
All right. Thanks.
They fret oooh sending him to America'll be too expensive. Haa!!! Shorter plane ride to America.
Yes Kes that'd be good to have your email
Zaf, you want me to help you edit the letter?
I love editing.
The Council will read it soon im nit in chorus with them tomorrow we gots gym so its easier
Val, the more the merrier! Join in! Either of you can add something, email me what you come up with. I'll work during auditions if i can
I was tempted to ask Derek his opinion but i figured leave him out of it. Poor guy must be scared of me as it is
kestrelstarr@gmail.com
I love editing as well. Do you mind if I completely rewrite it? I can make it sound very official and important.
Oi, Zafira. How's this?

And then we can all combine our ideas.
I don't know about you guys, but I can only get the first three on Kindle.
That sound good Val, but I have some ideas that I don't feel like typing on my iPod.
I was just editing Zafira's, not adding anything.
I found 1 or 2 at Barnes and Nobles. When I do, I put them like on top of shelves and things sheepskins HAVE to see them.
