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...

You've writen it. It's now yours, copyrighted and all
I don't mind people writing fan fictions if that's what they want to do.
But not when the story isn't finished.
It's your intellectual property
... Can I ask why you don't want to finish it?
Bye Helena!
i think you should just ask her she might not have meant to offend you...
*I
Maya, Em already told her she doesn't want it done. Luna refused to stop
I just hate it.
I don't know where I've gone wrong with it or what I've done wrong but I just hate it now.
You can always restart, you know
I've been thinking about that...
But I dunno, people have gotten used to characters and plot lines.
So?
Em, you want to get this published. This is brilliant. It's an original idea, and I really love it.
Other people don't matter. Do you think they'd rather stay with the plot line the have, and never have it finished, or have a brand new plotline that could be even better!
*hugs Nix*
Thank you.
I have some of it cos I was following your blog... only the start of chapters though
No problemo, Emeralino
... Yeah, I have no idea what I just said
Emerald should I post what I've got? It's just the starts of the chapters though.
I think Em has a copy
... Do you have a copy?
On my dashboard under blogs I'm following...
What?
In my reading list
Hi! I'm back! Had to have dinner!
Maya... how is that a copy of the chapters?
Hi!
Nix, can we continue that war? That was fun!
*Walks up and punches Nix*
*Grins*
I have like 5 sentences of each chapter.
Maya, that's basically useless. Sorry
*throws fireball at Death*
Down like a dog on the highway...
HELLBOY!
*Tackle hugs him to the ground*
YOU READ IT?!
I don't know what that means, but Hi Hellboy!
HELLBOY!
Sorry, I'm back...
Still............
Hi Reynolds!
I have a new obsession with tackle hugging people!
*Tackle hugs Hel*
Hiya all. Yeah, we had to read it in English a couple of weeks back. I liked it.
*Jumps up and tackle hugs Nix* *Then tackle hugs Hellboy again*
Yay!
*Spins away and starts singing 'Highway Man' and dancing around with imaginary no one*
Hi Helena!
I has to go now. Homework calls...
Farewell!
Hellboy, is that a picture of what you actually look like?
Bye Maya!
See you Romantic!
Um Death, please don't tackle hug me to much. My arm's still broken.
Yep :) I recently acquired the pinstripe suit, and love wearing it. Ever since, I've been buying hats. I have two fedoras and a trilby, now...
...and then there's the trench-coat...
Cya Maya!
This is me two years back... The camera accidentally went off
AND HELLBOY! THAT IS SO COOL!
Sometimes I wish I was a guy so I could wear suits without looking weird...
TRENCHCOAT!
God am I ugly!
Ty.
Trenchoat indeed, although I really want to send it to the dry-cleaners. It hasn't been cleaned since I got it, so I'm kinda... cautious as to wear it or not...
I'm so going over there and stealing it!
GOD I WANT A TRENCH COAT!
I would clean it before wearing it out. Especially in Adelaide.
Or Mooroopna! It is a hole
I don't even remember telling you guys where I live XD
Alright. I'm off now. Cya all!
BYE HELLBOY!
And you didn't! I have a very nerdy friend who knows my email password without her being near me!
Hellboy. You didn't. BYE!
Ah.
So just now, I revealed where I live.
...ah...
I'm confused, my nerdy friend only knows my password cause I told her...
I know that you live in SA, I'm a stalker!
Nix, are you there?
Adelaide foreva! :P
I need a nice last name... Nora ___________
Nora Mayfly!
Mayfly? That's not too bad! Thanks Eve!
*Holds out hand*
Here, take some blood
*Grabs knife and splits skin*
Now, I need a nice first name for Nora's 42 year old mum...
Tanith Mayfly?
Rachel Mayfly?
Liesl Mayfly?
Lina Mayfly?
Elizabeth Mayfly?
I love Liesl Mayfly!
Liesl is a friend of mine, they are all my friends name! Thanks!
You have a friend named Tanith? That's epic.
I would suggest Greta though, I think that that would really work. Greta Mayfly.
Ohhhh! Nice!
Yeah, she has blonde hair down to her waist and she is IRISH! I always say she and Billy Ray are in love and she doesn't know who I am talking about... She wont read the Bible of the Gods!
*gasp* You shall hae to force her to.
So, whatcha' gonna' to call the woman?
I need an Officer's name (police) and I need a detective's name too!
No Skulduggerys
Oh. But Skulduggery's the PERFECT name.
You could call them Lestrade... For the D.I. I mean.
I know... But this is about the Highway man...
*samples Death's blood* Your blood is not as powerful as Valkyrie's...but it will suffice for now.
Umm... Eve?
*Grins*
I'm surprised a vampire can resist blood for that long...
Nora stood at her second storey bedroom window and wished for life to slow down. It was her last day of year twelve tomorrow and she didn’t know what to expect. Should I be happy, sad, ecstatic? She didn’t know.
There was movement outside her window and Nora’s ice blue eyes zeroed in on it in the dark. It moved again. Nora pressed her hand to the window and felt the coolness spread through and up her arm. She shivered. It moved again and Nora opened up her window and was blasted by cold air.
Nora poked her head out and saw nothing. She was sure that she had seen something out there . . . dressed in black and shining in the moonlight. She shook head as if to clear it. Just your mind playing tricks on you. Nora reassured herself. You can see anything out in the bush.
Her mother called her down for dinner just minutes later. While Nora was eating, she skimmed through her Romeo & Juliet book. She had to memorize Act II Scene VI for her English class tomorrow. She didn’t have time anymore; she needed a life outside her fantasy books and friends on her blog. She found the part she was looking for and started reading.
The time flew by like water through her fingers. “Nora!”
She looked up startled. Her mother was standing at the doorway with an unhappy expression on her child like face. “Yes?”
“You have to go to bed hun,” she said and glanced at the book discarded at Nora’s feet. Romeo & Juliet. Nora quickly looked at what she was reading and dropped the book. She was reading Skulduggery Pleasant, again.
Nora opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a knock on the door. “That’ll be your father,” she said, head towards the door. “He must have forgotten his keys again.”
Nora’s mother opened the door and cocked her head to the side. “Can I help you?” She asked.
By now, Nora was at the door, standing beside her mother looking at the two policemen at the door.
“Miss Mayfly,” The first policeman said.
“Greta,” Nora’s mum corrected.
“I am Officer Andrew Mason and this is my partner, Detective Max Lestrade. May we come in?” Officer Mason, rounder, policeman asked.
“Of course,” Greta responded automatically. Nora just stood there as they passed her into her house.
Once they were all seated comfortably, and the policemen had cups of coffee in their laps, they explained why they were here.
“We found a body, we believe it to be your husband’s Greta,”
Duh! Duh! Duh...
OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. It's amazing!
Partly because you used my names.
I have to have a shower!
See you later then.
*frowns* I'm not a vampire. Whoever said that?
:-O
Who said Eve was a vampire??
That's just... shocking!
Hello...
Mem!!!!!!!!! *hugzzz* Gosh, I haven't talked to you in, like, a week!!! :P Are you okay now?
Hi Kessie!
HI! If anyone's still here, that is.
*grins*
two things
a) My pencil pot looks awesome, it's not done yet, but it looks awesome.
b) I know who did it in Agatha Christie's story "The Mirror Crak'd From Side To Side"
*Crack'd
whoa
no one has talked for longer then an hour until I came
strange...
Anyone??
*shrugs*
I have to go anyway
bye to anyone who is there!!
He makes me feel like such a bitch...
Eurgh.
Nope. Not talking. Nuh-uh. Not gonna talk to him.
Hello?
Heya, Sir! :)
So, how are you?
I'm in pain, angry, fed up, tired...The usual. You?
My normal, neutral self.
That's good?
As good as it can be.
Ohhh-kay, then...
I HAD TO THE THE HIGHWAY MAN FOR ENGLISH TOO AND I LIKED IT TOO!!!! I POSTED THE WHOLE THING IN THE COMMENTS SOMEWHERE . . .
Which post are we commenting on right now, btw? And don't say 'this one'. I wanted its name...
Might be able to make things more bearable if he's online again. It'd be all awkward...
I believe it is the amazing Phil one.
Ah yes, the moon, the ghostly galleon...
Btw, L, I was looking at things on the school computer, trying to see if I could slip through the system and change the desktop background (I couldn't. Duh), and I clicked on Pictures, and I saw all these pics of waterfalls I'd saved a couple of terms ago, and one of them was called Rainbow Waterfall!!! I just burst out laughing and my friends just looked at me like "WTH?" and when I mostly stopped laughing I went, "It's nothing, just . . . I saved that pic as Rainbow Waterfall . . ." And then I started laughing slightly again and they all just looked at me like "You weirdo." XD
WE ALL KNOW IT. :)
No way am I reposting it here again though. If I do long comments they disappear, so I have to copy and paste it two stanzas at a time. Takes ages.
Hahaha, Star! Rainbows. Cx
Skittles~!
*laughs* Don't you dare set me off again. I was laughing about rainbows all morning . . . Until second period, coz it was Science and I was focusing wholy on writing. Our teacher does very fast lessons. Preparing us for exams, apparently.
In case you haven't yet heard this today, I'm glad you're alive - you're amazing. <3
*blinks* Wow. Thanks.
I mean, double thanks.
*blinks* Wow. Thanks.
I mean, double thanks.
Hi! *Hugs*
Double thanks?
Why?
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! anyone there?
Sorry for poofing... :(
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PEAOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, Lilie.
Hi Lu!!!!!!!!!
How are you?
*checks pulse* I'm alive. *nods*
Speaking of living...*hugs* I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE ALIVE.
I'm soooooooooooooooooooo glad you're alive too! i need people as crazy and insane as i an to prevent me from becoming....
...Normal*Shivers at the word*
Hi Lilie!
@Robyn: No idea. I knew when I wrote it. Now I've forgotten.
*has posted a friendly-ish comment on Dublin Daes Reborn to try and get Luna to stop fanficking* Okay, I think I sounded really patronising. Whatever.
Em been on since I was on last?
Hi STAR!!!
She has. Hi LILIE!!!!!!!!
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did she say about her blog that has been taken down?
Look further up the page. S'all on here.
Ok, thanks, sorry, busy doing homework.
Look from the top of the page. You'll see Death and Maya shouting random names, then summat about hats, then Em comes on.
Well, I'M distant coz I'M WRITING PLEASANT DAES!!!!! *pround grin*
*proud
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I g2g shower before its too late to wash my hair.
Be back in a few!
See ya!
*tilts head* Luna is awesome? Are you sure you are not mistak-
DAMMIT! I just started speaking like Sapphire from my story. Lol.
Last word while the water is warming up, EVERY ONE WHO COMES ON HERE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luna dunt come on here though.
Not Luna Bright-something. Luna Wolfe.
. . . Judging from the little I know about her, I would not say she was awesome.
Sapphire's way of speaking is strangely addictive . . .
I DO NOT WISH TO BE FIRST.
Hi?
Yay, first!
Hello, Luciana!
*smiles at how much I am writing*
Distant, dedicating. It'll be crappy, though. I'm on my phone. :P
OOH. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FIGHT SCENE I COULD WRITE. HOW WONDERFUL.
. . . I probably should restrain myself from writing too much, however.
Ah. Msd.
Ah well. Adra wrote quite a lot. :)
I appear to have just said 'Ah' rather more than I should have.
I'd like to dedicate to something that's really important to this world. Sometimes it's overlooked and some people never really find it...People say that money makes the world go 'round, but that's not true. LOVE is what keeps us going. I've probably dedicated to love before, but I don't care. It deserves all the dedications in the world. Where would we be without love, anyway?
I count myself lucky that I have people here that love me, because I'm not used to being loved. Or even liked. My brother insults me and beats me up the majority of the time, I was bullies for YEARS, I self-harmed, I was almost anorexic, I was driven to the edge - I almost committed suicide. Today is suicide awareness day. Thousands of people die from suicide...Usually because they're not shown the love they deserved. I was lucky enough to talk to one of you guys one day, lucky enough to have found friends, to have found somewhere I was loved...
People can live their whole lives without being shown love. They can be shown hate all their lives and I...I used to have very few good memories. Never knew what to do, who to turn to, what to say. I was left in the dark with anything. I was ready to give up...
I didn't know how life could go on, because I didn't know how to love or care. Not really...
[Cont. Cuz I dunno how much more I can write on my phone. :P]

Then, I found hope. Some of you will remember my dedication to hope. With the smiling girl in hospital...How I managed to find hope in the place where I least expected it...
With hope I found caring. I found out what caring felt like. My parents were fussing over me in hospital, my siblings cared and my grandparents came to visit me. That's the first time I remember feeling as thought someone cared about me. I felt warmth for the first time that I remember.
But I lost it, again, when I went back to school. The bullying resumed. My brother still violent...Everything was back to how it used to be... All hope was lost and caring vanished...
And that's where Skulduggery comes in. That's where I find hope and safety in fantasy.
But, years on...I still failed to feel loved. I didn't know how to care about people and I didn't know how to love...
And months ago...I came here. I logged into Blogland and I commented after weeks of just reading your conversations. Not commenting out of fear of being hated, like everywhere else.
But I wasn't hated.
I was suicidal the first day I commented. Hoping to find safety...and I found more than safety. I found love. I found acceptance.
I found the most amazing people in the world.
Here we are, months on from the first day I came here...I've learnt to love, I've been hurt, I've hurt others, I've been helped and helped other people, I've become someone...I've even been hated. But...I've also found love. *hugs everyone* You guys are amazing and you all deserve to be loved. Your very existence is important to my life. I wouldn't be here without you guys. <3 You don't hear often enough how amazing you are...I LOVE YOU GUYS OKAY
I also want to apologize for how terrible this dedication is. I'm not in the best of moods and I'm on my phone, but that doesn't mean I don't love you all.
So, to love. Love makes us go on. It can change everything and...even those with hearts as cold as ice can find love. I mean, I've found love... <3
Blogland is my home and you are all my family. <3
It's as simple as that. Without my Blogland family I'd be no-one, nowhere and nothing. I'd not exist without all of you... :3 <3
I'm so glad you're all alive.
WASTE YOUR TIME WISELY OKAY
Love is indeed awesome. *nods* It can change so many things. For better or for worse . . . *remembers Anakin and where his love got him and the rest of the Rebuplic* :(
Also, your deds are never terrible!!! Your deds are the best there are!!!!
*splutters* Rjsjbzdaylnksfafppfsh WHAT? Now I have to find a date! *grumbles and starts searching*
NEW POST, PEOPLE!
So we're posting here maybe?
yup!!
Hey Sir, I think the entity was the end of the comments.
it's slightly possible.
I blame you, Thrust. I need a scapegoat, nothing personal.
Hi!
*Contiues screaming*
GET OUT NOW!
*Chest rises from the ground like attached to an invisible string*
NO!
You're STILL screaming?
Anyone have a recipe for butter icing?
Looks like it wasn't the end of the comments. I was right, then. Hooray...
Death is about to sneeze!!! Run for it!!
Nope, Lola, sory.
*runs away from Death's sneeze*
*Unseen force pushes everyone out of the cave* *Rocks cover the entry*

*prepares umbrella*
*jumps in the volcano*
Now I'm safe.
Yum, cooked Kestrel.
*jumps in after*
Lol Kessie :P
*Stands observing*
*Boulders smash my rib cage and pummel me*
Ooh. Fried Shark.
I'm perfectly fine with you blaming me. as long as I dont snot covered one day.
*laughs at Death*
Wow. Death's sneeze is breaking her own ribs!
Looks like it's an eating contest to the death, then.
Okay, this theory isn't working.
*runs in to help Death *
That, Sir, is just messed up.
*bites off Eden's head*
I was talking about you and me eating each other.
*bites off Kestrel's ears*
*Try to scream but lungs have been punctured* *Rocks and boulders contiue to fall*

*Flaps fins, and flies to Sharkland*
*heals head*
*eats ALL of Sir*
Ha! You can't win!
I'm inside of you now. How on earth is that going to be good for you?
*starts chewing out through the stomach*
* head teleports out of Kessie's stomach, then attaches back to neck *
I'll help you Death.
You're eating each other... Someone make this into a movie.
I forgot how bad that dedication was...*laughs*
*Heart gets sandwiched between two rocks* *Heart stops*
*uses stomach to crush Sir's head*
That stops most hearts.
It wasn't that bad L . * runs in to help death. *
*brings Death back to life*
Bleheheheheheh....
BLECK!
*laughs*
brb
Sorry about that. I had a bit of Kestrel's brain stuck in my throat.
