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...

I wanna meet Derek
Dooooont leave me
Hiya, people. Just had a shower and guess what I've eaten. CHICKEN PIE!!!!
Yum! Hi Sarlia!
Oh, Star, you like the Gone series? I've read'm all, well accept the newest one. :)
Since I feel the deep urge to tell you: I'm watching A League Of Their Own. Funny!!!!!!
Anyone here?
Here!!!!!!!!
I love Gone.
Hi guys. What is the first Doctor Who episode called? Cause I am going to start watching them on YouTube and I don't know what its called.
I should watch Doctor Who....
Anyone?
I haven't ever watched it either, Zaf, so I am starting now.
Star, Sarlia? ANYONE?
I've watched a couple. You dont want the actual FIRST doctor who, cos from what i remember some of the flash backs its in black and white and the doctor is an old man.
. . . Sorry, Kestral. I dunno.
Wbd.
So, Sarlia, which one should I watch?
Unless you like black and white things. I think its black and white. Dunno, really. I think it is.
Yeah, I found it on YouTube but it's really bad quality. So which one should I watch?
I'de start from the first of the David Tennant doctor who series. Maybe type that in.
I've watched a few david tennant episodes, but they are more in my subconsious. To start, I watched the last two tennant eps to start the matt smith ones. the new one was awesome
ok, thanks.
It's not coming up with anything helpful.
What is it called Thrust?
Yeah, Matt Smith is the best so far, but David tennant was good. Don't you think Skulduggery might be tiny, tiny bit Doctor Who-ish?
I will get back to you on that after watching.
Sorry, I dont know the first David Tennant one, I'm just giving you the info I know so far. If you want, start with the more up-to-date ones with matt smith in. They're funnier and will most likely have better video quality.
ok. Thank you.
Oh god, I dont even WATCH doctor who. How do I know all this. Has someone implanted the information in my brain. *Glances from side to side*
Is anyone here?
What is that flying elevator thingy?
A flyong elevator?!?!?
In the theme song of Doctor Who. I'm not entirely sure if that is the best way to describe it, but what is it?
tennant has lots of good stuff. He's awesome. matt smith has to match him somehow
:/ Elevator-thingy flying. You dont mean the tardis, the big blue phone box do you?
Thats the tardis!!!
Cos thats the only reasonable and obvious explenation
It's not an elevator it's the TARDIS, a police call box
Yes, thank you!
And is The Eleventh Hour any good?
There's an episode guide online for sure.
oh...Thanks.
*slams head on keyboard*
That's one of my favorites...
it's the first one.
Ok. I shall go watch it now.
Bye gotta go!
Anyone know what time, day and channel Doctor Who is on in America? I live by New York City
The first episode is Rose, it's on the BBC channel (162 in America, I'm pretty sure), and it shows here around 9 for new episodes. They show old ones through out the day.
I just watched Part 1 of the 11th Hour. Brilliant. Gonna watch more tonight.
Fish fingers and custard...that's just gross.
No idea, zaf, but do you know what I do know??
...
I forgot the question...
lol Thrust.
Have you seen rose, val v?
I haven't. I am now going to watch Doctor Who at night when I am supposed to be asleep.
I havent got through any of the 9th doctor's episodes. He's a little annoying to me.
YouTube is annoying me. I can't find all of the 11th Hour. It is all broken up into parts
netflix has them, that how I watched.
But I have to pay for Netflix. I have to go. Bye.
Gtg. :(
Fours.
Except the latest one. My parents dont want me on netflix anymore for reasons you already know.
The last one i watched on youtube.
Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDav1f4H_Ls
Thrust, I have seen Rose, and I've seen the Empty Child, but those are the only ninth Doctor ones...
Eleven rules!
Rose would be my trial for the 9th. I don't have time or the means nessecary to watch any more episodes, except if the guy continues to post episodes, im doomed
Im good i got BBC America what time and day are most new episodes?
Anybody? I have to comment to see new comments... Poo.
Hi!!
Hey! Somebody!
Hi Thrust!
Is everybody distant?
donno. I think their watching doctor who.
I'm writing chapter two of my story. And reading other people's stories. That's why I'm distant.
HEY ALL!
Ah, curses, Jessica isn't here.
And it seems everyone is super distant, which isn't very good, considering I have to leave at ten.
yeah...
Hey, does anyone here know Jessica's last name?
I guess not.
Well, bye then, it's ten now so I'm leaving!
Bye. I must go too, having this open while you're trying to write is distracting.
Im baaaaack

I think this is what Derek originally pictured us as his Munchkin Army.
I'm so f*king sick of living in this f*king house. Living with this family. School. Everything. Sick of being alive. Mum just has to bring things up, doesn't she? About that time my cat died of disease. Yeah, that's my fault. I'm not the one who owned the dog, am I? It's your sister. Not mine. And about the house bills being so high? I don't get a new handbag every week. I only have one. I don't get new shoes. Or clothes. I don't smoke twenty cigarettes a day, and that is how much money? But, no. It's all my fault. It's my fault your over weight. It's my fault your father died. It's my fault you've gone grey. It's my fault my father had an affair. It's my fault you got pregnant. All mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. You want to know the real reason to why your pills are missing. Or the real reason there was a knife in my pillowcase. Oh. I almost forgot. You don't care about that, do you. You don't care about me. You've said it yourself. Would you care if I was the son you always wanted? You'd be happier if I looked like an Ooompa Loompa. If i was pretty, thin. I'm sorry mother, I tried. Why'd you think I never eat my lunch or breakfast? Or spend so long in the bathroom? It's been all for you and your family. Every single last bit of it. I know you're ashamed to have a daughter like me. A nerd. Someone who doesn't agree with the family about homosexuals. Someone who doesn't fit it. That's going to be over soon. And you can finally be happy.
Willow, I see your life is extremely difficult for you, but you should NOT kill youself. Why don't you... uh... threaten to kill yourself to your mom? BUT PLEASE DONT KILL YOUR SELF. YOU'VE GOT FRIENDS WHO SINCERLY CARE ABOUT YOU! I can say that from a personal angle. YOU SHOULD NEVER TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT! NEVER! NOTHING FEELS ACCOMPLISHING IF YOU TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. NOTHING GOES RIGHT!
DO NOT THINK THESE THOUGHTS. I WANT YOU ALIVE.
Trust, I can't not think them. They're always there. I told my mother that i wanted to kill myself, and she laughed. My father is too busy mating to care about me.
Tell her your serious, willow. This is serious.
I can't at this moment. She left. I've no clue when or if she's coming back.
you can always question, always ask questions.
But you have to be strong.
You, willow, what you have to deal with constantly, proves to me that you are strong. Very strong. One of the strongest of us. Think about how great it you would feel getting through this stage of you life. Think way into the future: You would be the greatest mom in the world.
Me? Strong? I'm not strong. I'm weak.
I never was strong. never will be. This is me being weak. And disrespectful. I shouldn't be saying stuff like I just said. I wasted space.
would you prefer to talk about this privately? my e-mails knownitisnot@gmail.com
Willow, I realize that I have no place in this, seeing as I have only known you for a couple weeks, but I can't read that and not say anything. You have friends that would be sincerely upset if you killed yourself,(me included, though I am not sure if you count me as a friend), an entire life to live, and so much more. You could contribute so much to this world. Please don't do it.
Cheers, kes! well said.
I have one or two online friends who have this kind of issue. I just want to do as much as I can to prevent it, and help them.
I have to leave. Just, please, Willow, think about how much you mean to us.
That, I would consider saving lives, kes.
Willow, You are amazing.
And it's important that you share you're thoughts. People are WILLING to lighten the load off your shoulders. I, and I'm sure many of us know how you feel. We've all had a taste at being miserable.
We know how you feel. None of us are quite as strong as you, though. And I stand by it, you are incredibly strong. You have so very much to live for.
And it can be anyone, from me, to someone you know. People love you, if you did anything to hurt yourself, I will be devistated
We want to help,
I'm not worth it, Trust. Ask any of the older minions, Like Octa, Dragona, Gepard . . .
WHy the HELL would they agree to that???!!
I am not going to give up on you, or let you think that. Humility is important, but dont let it cancle anything else out, I'm suffering from that mistake right now.
You can trust me. You keep saying so.
Just because of some stuff I've done.
Willow anyone would wanna help you. No older Minion would disagree
I'm back. Willow, if you are still here, there are so many people who know you, and love you. We want you to keep living because we recognize your potential. You don't deserve this, but neither do you deserve to die.
And look, Zaf is being serious. I don't know of a way to show you how much we care, but I want you to know that we do.
It's a real pity kal's post disappeared. It was pure
We all care! I dont want any Minion dead. I might jokinlgly explode Ireland but I never want Minions dead...its not worth it.
You are our friend, and we would hate to see anything bad come to you. We care, even if others don't.
Nothing is worth anyone dying before their time. Nothing.
As you can see, no one hasn't vouched for you life, Willow. We all love you like a sister and you matter more than any skulduggery pleasant book there is or will ever be.
Thrust, that's an understatement. You matter uncountable times more than all the SP books and meeting Derek combined. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do it without question.
We're all one big giant family. Derek is our dad :)
I'm sorry, but I have school in five hours. Bye.
Sorry, kes.
DOnt hesitate to talk to us, willow. We all need and love you.
Bye Willow. Just think about how much more of life you have left to live.
Yeah...Derek has sooo many children xD
you cannot even count, zaf
Nope xD Derek must be proud. I bet tomorrow morning in Ireland he'll read this muttering Im loco xD
Well, so much for you being serious Zaf.
We need to do something to stop her. If she truly feels that this is what she must do, then we have no right to alert the authorities and make her life even more miserable. But we have to stop her. Somehow.
I know....*sighs* i can be serious. Im thinking serious now...she cant do it. Good god no.
But how can we stop her? We've basically done everything we could. And what if she left not to go to sleep, but to do it?
I dont know....we're too far away from her. But we can only hope to god. I dont want her to do it. I might hate my family but it isnt worth killing myself
My problem though, is I love my family and they love me. So I can't really relate to her, which means I dont know what to say in order to snap her out of it. Where does she live?
England. She's an Engliminion. Hence school in 5hrs
I just prayed for the first time in my life. She doesn't deserve to die.
Ok. Does anyone else live near her? Or close enough to actually talk to her?
I dont know. Its too late by the Engliminions and Iriminions
Not now. But just to talk to her in person, tell her we care. Or if anyone has her phone number, they could call her. Or Skype...
I have Skype. And an Engliminion would hafta text or call unless someone had international call and text
I don't have Skype or a phone, so I'll be completely useless in that regard.
I couldn't be bothered going to sleep.
Hi Wilow!
Hello again Willow!
And, I'm Irish, not English.
Erm. Sorry. So you read all that then?
27th is the day
If that means what I think it means....
DONT YOU DARE WILLOW!
And I have a no skyp
I has Skype
Ah well. We just want you to stay alive.
Night all!
Night Willow.
Night Willow
Thrust, you still here?
I've been watching Lord of the Rings for four hours.... It's so worth it
Vaaal!! My brain exploded
Wasn't I the one who blew it up?
No it exploded after i watched Doctor Who
Val! Yeah, I love Lord of the Rings.
Go read the comments starting from Willow's super long one up there.
Because Doctor Who is amazing?
Yuuup
Did you reads the comments Val?
I gtg bed school tomorrow night!!!
*curls up in tree*
Night Zaf!
*sneaks up and pushes Zaf off the tree*

I've had people saying Mahogany is like China, or like Clarabelle. She's actually not. Okay? *sigh*
She's kinda like Clarabelle
-_________________-
I think I would know if she was like Clarabelle or not.
*frowns*
Eve, I'm sorry, but what you think of your character doesn't mean it comes across that way. She comes across as Clarabelle
In that chapter I wrote in Pleasant Dae, yeah, she's a bit random. Clarabelle didn't invent that, and besides, that's how Mahogany decided to treat the group of sorcerers. I'm saying, she's not like that any other time.
She's friendly, random, peculiar, mostly happy, light, a little dim (or maybe just so random there's no differnece)
She's almost exactly like her...
I'm not saying you based Mahogany on Clarabelle, I'm just saying they're extremely alike
I've met so many people who are like that, even I'm like that, so WOW! Im Clarabelle! And my friends are Clarabelle too!
And I'm simply explaining that while Mahogany might share some traits with Clarabelle, they are not extremely alike. There's more to Mahogany than that.
I said they were alike
And in a way, you are alike to Clarabelle
Is she and Clarabelle alike? Okay, sure. Is she and Clarabelle extremely alike? No. She's not. That's a definite.
I'm dropping a line *drops a line of paper*
Bye!
Bye Rim!
That's your opinion Eve
Hi everyone! Did Eden cone on? And no jokes!
Oh dear. Now my evaluation of my own characters has become a mere 'opinion'? No thanks. Whatever I say about my creation is a fact.
Death, if you want to know if Eden came, check the comments :)
Eve, it doesn't matter what you think of your charactrer. It matters what you do with your character. And to me, your character is very much alike to Clarabelle
To you. Yeah. I'm not talking about what she is to you, or anyone else. I'm talking about what she IS. And I made her how she is. And she's not like Clarabelle.
Hey!
Death just press ctr F then type in Eden.
Hi Maya!
Eve, what she IS, is an opinion.
Just did, that is why is was so distant! He did, only for a little bit though...
*Frowns*
Why do I love in Australia ? Why can't I live in Ireland?
Hi maya, and I don't have a keyboard, this is an iPod!
Also are you going to change your pic?
I keep on mistaking you for one of those one-commenters :)
And I think that Mahogany is a lot like Clarabelle too! She is random and partially crazy! Wait! Did I just say partially? I mean REALLY crazy!
I'll try, I will be very distant by the way while doing this
Nix! You have to dedicate!
Can I still wear a dress?
GTG will be back.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*laughs at Nix* Excuse me? Since when were you the boss of what's an opinion and what's not? I created Mahogany, don't pretend everyone knows her equally. She doesn't JUST exist in writing. She exists in my head. She's MY character, she is whatever I had her be. It's not my opinion, it's the fact. That's like me saying "My feet hurt", and you saying "That's your opinion". Mahogany is my metaphorical feet. You see how much my shoes aren't covering up, but I've seen the rest. This was never about what she came across as in my writing, because my writing is limited and basic. If I was radiating mind waves to you, you'd know Mahogany. But you don't. And that is why I am clearing things up.
Just testing!
Do you know the difference of an opinion and a fact?
A fact is something that can be proven. By looking at everything you've writen so far about Mahogany, I can say some things about her. Like she's a character who looks this way, or has done this. But who she's alike to will always be an opinion, no matter who's said it.
An opinion is something someone thinks, and has not been proven. You think that she acts a certain way. Even if she's your character, it's still an opinion.
Okay! Enough about facts and opinions! You sound like my English class!
Fact:
1. A thing that is indisputably the case.
2. Information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article.
I'm going by that first meaning. This is indisputably the case. What I say Mahogany is, Mahigany is.
It's not indisputably the case though
But fine. Your the kind of gut who likes evidence. Here's your evidence:
Mahogany is not like Clarabelle.
:) There. The author's words. Fact: proven. :)
Nix, if you don't stop them fact and opinion war, I'll get Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn! Don't tempt me! I'll bring the graphic novels as well!
It IS indisputably the case. Dig inside my brain and try to prove me wrong. Go ahead.
*Walks over with all the Twilight books*
Don't say I didn't warn you...
I can draw something, and say it's a drawing of an elephant, even though it looks nothing like it. I can say it's meant to look like a drawing of an elephant, or I tried to draw an elephant, or to me it looks like a drawing of an elephant. But it still doesn't make it a drawing of an elephant. It makes it what I think is a drawing of an elephant
But Eve, you can't prove me wrong either. If no one else can see inside your brain, it's not indisputable
*Starts throwing Twilight merchandise at Nix*
An opinion of mine: Nix says what he thinks and doesn't just lie to keep the piece, which is a good thing, because knowing what people really think is a lot better than just being told you're right all the time when you aren't. But it can occasionally create arguements, and as Nix doesn't usually admit he's wrong, I think that if you are the person arguing with Nix you should just ignore him once you've proven your point because even if you're right, Nix probably won't think so. Of course this is just an opinion, so don't all yell at me now.
Hi.
But that's a drawing. You drew a drawing on paper and said it's an elephant. This is a character. Did I write every single thing about Mahogany on paper? Maybe you think so, but I didn't. In fact, I put 20% of Mahogany in writing. The rest is in my head, but remains true. You can't argue with what I created in my own head.
Hi Ink! I boiled rotten banana today in science
OMG! I am leaving! I can't stand you two anymore! Bye!
*Storms off muttering angry things about facts and opinions*
*peace
*glares at the leaving murderer*
