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...

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4876 Newer› Newest»I like that. I also recently found that, they're not printing the 3 books we have. They exoect us all to own an eReader
By me they give me the deer in the headlight look. Its pathetic
Sheepskins?
*so that people
How on earth did my iPod get SHEEPSKINS?
Youve got to be kidding Zaf.
I have Em in hard copies.
I seriously spent 2 hours combing my book store twice,
Im not kidding. I own every SP book published in hard copy. The guy showed me the search, Nook only. I nearly screamed
I gotta go, guys email me anything. I gtg bed now
My library has TFO. that's it. And yeah, my bookstore doesn't ALWAYShave them, but still.
And my problem is most of my friends are slow readers so I can't even lend them my copies because I can't stand being away from them for so long.
Bye Zaf!
Val, you still here?
POOOOOOFFFFF
The public library has the first one, and then somehow the next two in french. They look weird.
Hey THRUST. Sorry about that.
it's all right,
HALLOOguys.
CAL!
How are you?
Every one!! How are you!
I'm good, thanks Trellis! It's been so long since I've seen you around!
How are you?
I'm fine by the way. just annoyed that I realized that I can only write when I cant write.
That seems plausible, Thrust!
I'm great! I had forgotten who it was that called me Trellis actually.
I'm great Thrust, you?
Thrust, yep. Exactly.
Are either of you Star Trek fans?
I know of it, but I'm not a fan 'fan', no.
And do either of you have Val's email?
Im a fan. I guess. Nothing like I am with SP though.
I mean everything seems to run much more smoothly when I'm not thinking about it.. and when word is open or there's a peice of paper in front of me it, it's beginning to get harder and hard to not worry about what I'm about to write. Yesterday, I didn't touch anything, right ke, so ideas were the only thing on my mind, i could've writen a book up there, if only i had a mind reader or something..
Oh, I do understand now, Thrust. Good point; that's actually so true!
Alright. Writing 101:Destroy Writer's Block
It's awful, we all realize that. So here are some ways to destroy it.
1) leave for a bit. Eat breakfast, walk the dog, read a book, anything. Then come back to it and try again.
2) Rake out a blank piece of paper and write anything. Even if its just "I can't do this, what the he'll should I write about" over and over again.
3) If you normally type, handwrite; and if you normally handwrite, type.
4) Make a cube/block out of paper and label it Writer's Block. Whenever you get it, kill the Block.
5) Start writing in a different tense, POV, or time of your story.
6) Plan it out.
7) work on a different story.
Hope that helps Thrust. You can do any or all or none, I have just found that they help me.
Got to go; bye!
They're amazing, YOU'RE amazing.
Thanks :)
Bye Cal! I'm gonna call you Amity. You know from the Four Elementals...?
Welcome Thrust. I'm glad you think so.xD
I liked number 2.I feel like that could work.
6 i think is the source of my problem... I think TOO MUCH about what I'm supposed to be doing, it's all I can do.
4 is hilarious,
5... I understand 5.
3 I understand it also.
7 is an interesting idea.
1. I do THAT one without realising it.
why did I just address those in a random order? I don't know maybe it's because I'm crazy. In fact earlier this week, I decided to change my s.r. book for english, because it was too long. Somehow I managed to come home with an even bigger one. BRILLIANT!
6. Is more about making a loose story map. Keyword there:LOOSE. So you have room to manouvre, but still know where you're heading. I like 4 too. The key to 1.is not to just procrastinate. Don't wait days before coming back to it, if you do it'll be even harder than before.
that;s great advice, Kes. I feel as though I can write a story.
so basically back to better than normal.
What are yuo up to?
Then go write. Actually, don't. I am bored. Are 4-7 published there?
eh?
4-7?
ohhh..
Sorta
I am lying in bed doing pretty much nothing and going over something that Zaf, me, and possibly Val V. Want to do in my head. You?
What do you mean, sorta?
See, we canabrians... Well I found the books from Rick Riodan's site.
How fortunate was it of me to need a book, and find SP.
ANyway, the first place I looked was the public library. they had the first one.
C'est tout
At the book store they had the rest.
The books get realeased late in Canada, I i think mine is the only book store that ive seen them in.
At least you get them though.
I found it while wandering the bookstore. Rick Riordan is awesome. You read Serpents Shadow yet?
nope. I havent read much llately. really busy. In fact I'm still on Son of Neptune.
That's a different series. Mark of Athena is the third of those and it comes out in October.
I have to go now. NIGHT AND BYE!
See ya!!!
I am watching Gangnam Style, again.
And now, for a profile pic change
O O O O O OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!

Oh, I am alone. What a shame
Oh music.... Now I am listening to strong enough

MY NECK HURTS!
And why is there a protective bubble that looks vaguely familiar?
*Looks around*
What did I do last night?
That is one weird hangover, my neck keeps cracking. . .
Oh, musy musy music!
Hangover?????
.________________.
Listen to Tribute by Tenacious D!
Okay, I will! HEHEHEHE Oh dinner. MEH
I can't remember anything from last night, care to fill me in?
BYE!
HI PEOPLE!
I've been laughing about rainbows ever since I got up . . . XD
Hi! I have the worst hangover ever! What did I do last night???
Please say someone's thre. There's less than half an hour until I have to leave.
I'm here!
HI DEATH!
No idea. Do you really expect me to remember when your last night was? And what was happening at that particular time?
Because I have a very bad memory. :(
Uhhh... Eden was on and Flame changed his name to Nightslayer...
I think???
What did you say about Flame...?
That he is a jerk?
Why?
I just have a feeling he did something to me...
Oh. That.
*tries to remember* Uh, Flame did something to someone's spine . . . Think it was your spine? He broke it? And Ivy got annoyed because spines are her thing. And she asked everyone if they knew what a cucumber was and nobody did. I DID, but I wasn't there so I couldn't say so. Andddd . . . Kestral changed to her true name form, Sketeo-something, only then she got bored and changed back.
That's all I can remember. :)
Hi Helena!
Ja, Flame broke your spine.
Yeah, that's pretty normal... Any specific reason why?
Oh! That's why my neck hurts, and that must be the reason for my massive hangover-like headache
*Nods*
WAIT! HE DID WHAT TO MY SPINE?!
Also, I unconciously stopped reading Ivy's comments in a Val way and started reading them in an Ivy-from-Val's-story way, which was slightly weird of me.
Hey Star! *hugs*
I can't remember EXACTLY what, but he definately made it go unnormal. :)
Hey Helena! *hugs back*
Oh, and how is everyone today?
Hullo!
But umm... WHY did he break/do something to your spine. What did you do to provoke him?
I NEEE TO DEPART IN EIGHT MINUTES.
*?
I'm pretty good thank you. You?
Hey Romantic!
*NEED
I can't remember the Why part. Because he turned into Nightslayer?
Atm, I'm gloomy coz school offically starts in just under an hour. :(
Strangeness. I'll ask him.
WHY EIGHT MINUTES STAR?!
I'm quite good, thanks
I just spent an hour trying to get my google+ video chat to work. In the end I did not win :(
*shakes fist* GOOGLE+!
Okay! Sorry, i was watching a depressing video on YouTube!
*Starts crying* *Stops crying* *Starts punching people*
What was it???
Most cryworthy youtube thing : Time after time John Barrowman
*shakes fist* BARROWMAN!
Maybe that's the reason Flame broke your spine Death. Because you never stop PUNCHING PEOPLE!
Because I need to get moving at five to eight. Put my shoes on, feed my rabbit. I leave the house at eight and walk to the bus stop. The bus is MEANT to arrive at quatre past eight. It won't. We'll get to school at about twenty/twenty-five to nine. Then we hang about at school till quatre to nine.
Five to eight was in eight minutes. It is now in two minutes.
Look at this!

William Hartnell!
Wait! Oh damn!

Noooooooooooooooooooooo! *Grins*
Ah Well.
Patrick Troughton!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jon Pertwee!!!!
Tom Baker!!!!!!
Colin Baker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sylvester McCoy!!!!
Paul McGann!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Christopher Eccleston!!!!!
David Tennant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt Smith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOoooooooooooooooooo Hats...
Welllllll hats are hats. If hats weren't hats they'd probably choose to be umbrellas or other scary objects like that. So I am glad hats ARE hats. Or the world would be WAAAY scary. Therefore I dedicate to hats being hats. Thanks Tyler!
Yay! Hey! Play the scary maze game! It isn't scary!
Are there any screams... or umbrellas? *shivers*
No...
Ok then I shall play it :D
*Laughs evilly*
Morning everyone
LIAR!!!!!!!
I know a cheat anyway. If you click and move your mouse to the goal it works.
Hi Em!
*Tackle hugs!*
I just got Maya to plat the scary maze game!
WHAT?! NO!
*Continues to laugh anyway*
Hi Emerald!!!!!!!!
How are you?
Are you alright now?
I went to sleep angry and I have woken up angry. I love life.
Lol be careful Maya lol you'll end up hooked like Pewdiepie
I AM AWESOME!
Read The Highway Man poem!
*Sighs*
If any man like that would come find me...
SEXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummm Emerald sooo are you alright? Cos if you need anything us bloglandians are here for you :)
What? The Highway Man ain't sexist!
And Em! She's right!
I need some of my DD's.
I dunno if any of you have read my story before I deleted it.
I didn't say the highwayman was sexist!!!
I suid it like these days the traditional "boy saves girl" storyline does not apply!
Well Maya I'd have to disagree with you
Chase saved me.
Em, you can get it back if you want
I think what Maya is saying is that the story that a boy has to save a girl just because she's a girl isn't around anymore
And also
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBXjsB-3ndI&feature=plcp
I've been watching this in a loop. Stuck in my head. I love parody's
Yeah I've read them (Dublin Daes? with the music thing?)they're real good!
Apperantly you can bring them back if you go onto your profile or something
Hiya Nix!
Yeah, but a boy saving the girl isn't sexist. It's only when you say the boy saves the girl and there's no vice versa...
Hehe. Hello :) Just thought I'd drop into the conversation :P
I'm saying if he's saving her just because she's a girl, then it's sexist.
There are so many stories where the girls do nothing and the guys save them for no reason, just because it seems like the girl is not capable...
Hi Eve as well!
No I meant like... when people only believe that girls HAVE to be saved and can't pave their own ways in life or whatever.
*cough*TWILIGHT*cough*
That's what I'm saying
Late comment :)
Yay Glee soon!
What do you mean I can get it back Nix??
Apparently there's a way to get back your deleted blogs
You'd have to ask Luce, she's done it. I don't remember exactly how though
True. But if there was a story where the guy is somewhat incompetent and the girl did everything for him....not many find that sexist. But it still is, isn't it?
I think it's only sexist if there is a majority of stories like that, like it used to be.
Though it's true, there's an extreme double stantard in sexism
Oh I know about that Nix.
It's this that has me pissed off
www.dublindaesreborn.blogspot.com
Yah, I don't like Bella... :(
I HAVE read the first book though.
... Oh my god
How dare she!
????
Hence why I went to sleep angry and I have woken up angry.
I feel like I'm gonna hulk out or something!
I can actually feel myself growling on the inside.
I've read all the books and memorized Chapter 23, the Angel
Oh, that's just..
Okay, what you should do when you get your blog back in copywrite everything and also say that Dublin Daes is not allowed to be rewriten by anyone...
I'm seriously going to look up a law. There's got to be something to stop plagaurism, even if it's just a fanfic
As I drifted, I dreamed. Where I floated under the dark water, I heard the happiest sound my mind could conjure up. As beautiful as uplifting as it was GHASTLY.
It was another snarl, a deeper wilder roar that rang with fury.
Tyler... Are you...talking about TWILIGHT?
I'm a potterhead BTW :)
*Hands Emerald a wall* Here you go, hulk out on this wall.
Yeah, I used to be a Twihard!
Emmett all the way!
But I don't want to write Dublin Daes anymore.
I hate it.
But I still can't believe that loopy bitch would do something like that.
Hm... An argument about Twihards. I'M IN!
I'm only here for a few minutes before dinner btw.
... You don't want to write it...?
Em... you understand if you don't write it, other people, including this person, have free write to publish it unless you've copywrited it
TWILIGHT SUCKS! KELLAN LUTZ IS HOT!
Oh :(
I'm so confused :(
Hola Helena!
Maybe you should ask her if she could please stop writing Dublin Daes reborn as it is your intellectual property?
Oh...
Cool. As soon as you've writen it down, I think, it's copyrighted...
But the website might be wong
*laughs*
And there's a chance you can sue someone for writing a fan-fiction
I called her weird. Luna, I mean. If that helps...
See you!
