Here is the first batch of stuff I was given while on the KOTW tour.
I've started to only pack half a bag every time I go away, because the amount of things I'm given while signing is just astronomical. What usually happens is that my publicist takes anything I can't fit onto the plane and sends it on to me afterwards. Well, the final package has arrived, so here I am to give you a brief pictorial rundown.
A skull! Signed by "le gang"! And a picture from the irrepressible one, Becky...
I don't have room to put up all of the artwork I was handed, but here are some pieces that stood out...
And I was also given books! One Minion had illustrated my biography blurbs- wonderfully unique idea! And in Liverpool I was handed Project Baguette, a collection of letters and notes and drawings and all kinds of coolness.
And elsewhere in the UK I was given a box! A wonderful little box!
But what's INSIDE the wonderful little box? Is it, perhaps, a set of wonderfully TINY Skulduggery books? It is!
The pic below is so cool. For those of you who can't spot the similarity, this is Super Derek, sitting on a stack of books, reading one with, er, his tongue hanging out of his mouth...
Quite simply one of the CUTEST things I've ever been given.
I've shown this one before, but I figured I'd do it again, and add in another two Skulduggerys (one from this tour, another from... three years ago, maybe...?)
And this! This Raggy Skulduggery that SHE WOULDN'T LET ME KEEP!
Because of the unfortunate lack of Skulduggery merchandise, many of you have had to improvise. Some of you, ahem, have improvised better than others...
Ah, the Tall Bonde! One of my favourites! You've seen her picture here before (I doubt you've forgotten it) but here is a picture of the BACK of Sabrina Sparrow's T-shirt...
And this is Sabrina's partner-in-crime Becky, giving a suitably deadpan freedom sign...
Naturally, Sabrina and Becky came with their banner- much like they did the LAST time they turned up...
(Present)
(Past)
And here's a picture of Mable and Sherlock totally agreeing with the message in my kitchen...
As I was shifting these pictures from my phone, I came across a few I'd taken in Germany a few years ago...
See that? Stylish AND practical!
And to finish it off, here's a picture of my cousin Michael, who came to one of the events in Australia and looked, it has to be said, AWESOME.
Once again, thanks to everyone who came along, and an extra special thanks to those of you who did something extra special.

And msd.
Dammit, Zath!
Hello?
Bye Kes! And I know, when he said about his dream and you yours... I almost sh*t myself!
Also, is it wierd that I know where Derek lives? And that he is out of milk?
Why? What did I do?!
Hi Nix!
Hi Nix! You know those stupid ICAS tests we have to do?
Hi Zath!
msd
And no idea what you're talking about Death
I actually did really well in my ICAS. And NAPLAN too.
But Death, ICAS isn't compulsory, that's selective. Only NAPLAN is compulsory.
I was always here, Death...
No way! We have to do them! We don't get a flippin' choice!
Okay so... I am either getting a distinction or high distinction in my reading and/or writing test!
Really...?
DEREK! YOU NEED TO BUY MORE MILK!
*leaps onto Zath's back*
I'm having a piggyback from you.
Or, demanding one.
*falls over instead*
Ow...
*lands on top of him*
Weakling...
*Laughs at Zath* *Decides to go swimming in the lake* *Dives in and starts swimming*
I wasn't expecting it!
Weak. Ling.
*Sticks head above the water* I'm watching African men prance around the Kalihari Desert in nothing with little bows and darts... What has life become...?
*Shrugs and dives underwater again*
Well, try it again then.
*gets up*
Very much MSD
Yeah, I'm going distant too! Bye!
Kay, Nix.
F*cking hell!
Someone give me props, six notes on Slender!
Leaving now. Bye!
Bye!
Back.
Distant.
Hey.
Hey. Still playing Slender?
Pfft, no...
Okay...
Sorry.
AHHHHH.
I NEED A BOOKSTORE, STAT!
STAT!
*faints*
*frowns*
*walks over to the lake and fills a bucket with water*
*walks back to Sparky*
*tips the bucket on her*
Ha! I thought I was painting my room blue! But you know what colour I got instead?
INDIGO.
And I now go by Ivy.
That is amazing.
*splutters and wakes*
Dammit, Zath, I was about to murder Rochelle...
One time, I was playing as Rochelle, and I died (more than once) and started laughing hysterically because I thought it was funny when one of the guys was saying, "Oh, no, Ro, oh no, Ro Ro...."
It was funny.
*shrugs*
What was that you were saying about a bookshop?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
*faints again*
(Three Tanks coming up behind you Zath, Merry Christmas. ;D)
Rochelle is just...
Stupid.
Eight times out of ten, it was her who altered the Witch.
Wait...
What?
...
F*ck.
*ground starts to shake*
*wakes again*
Holy smokin' Moses, this is bad.
*pulls out Makhaira*
I wonder how they react to electricity....
*backs away slowly*
Maybe you should find out...
*clicks fingers an grabs a fireball*
*hums something and stands, waiting for the Tanks to be closer*
*readies shadows*
How do they react to having their heads torn off?
I don't suppose it'd be very helpful to say that I'm listening to Another Way To Die?
I'm listening to 'Ride of the Valkyries'.
*pretends to conduct music with shadows*
Funny how the Tanks aren't actually doing anything.
I know what'll make them do something!
*tosses a pebble at them with shadows*
*hides when they turn around*
*Tanks lumber towards us*
That was a genius plan, Val...
*slams fists into the grounds when the Tanks are right up close*
*it makes them stumbles*
Ah.... Sh*t...
*one swats at me and I fly backwards*
*hits tree*
Now I know how Ellis feels...
*uses shadows to pull its head from its body* *yanks its arms off*
Sorcerers are better than zombies...
*Tank chases after me and batters me further away while I'm getting up*
DAMMIT!
OW!
*throws fireball at the third one*
Ha!
*sees it start charging at me*
Sh*t!
*starts hurling shadow knives at it*
*gets slammed into the ground*
Ow...
OI! TANK! No hurting my friends! THAT'S RUDE!
*sticks a spike bomb in it*
*it blows up*
DIE!
*hobbles to feet and stretches hand out, sending a stream of electricity into the Tank*
*blurs past it, snatches up Makhaira and blur back*
*leaps and slashes at its neck*
*rolls away from an incoming fist and throws another fireball at it*
*gets up and pulls out pistols*
*drives Malhaira through its eye*
*pulls it out and sheathes blade*
Gotta go!
Later!
*peers closer at the zombies*
*scowls*
Scapegrace, you aren't a worthy zombie!
*lights his head on fire*
BYE SPARKY! *tackle hugs her*
Bye Sparky!
*gives up on the Tank and sits down*
Here, I'll take care of the Tanks.
*sets off a huge bomb, but keeps me and Mist in a protective bubble thing*
*peers out*
Oh crap... I blew a hole through realities again...
Again?
You weren't here when I did this before?
You should ask Flame about it. I've done this LOADS of times.
*mortals start pouring through*
Dammit, not these idiots again...
No, I wasn't...
Doesn't sound like a good thing though.
*takes a look*
*kills a mortal*
*glances around*
Uh... It wasn't me!
*frowns*
Do they need to be killed?
*ducks back and laughs*
Why, of course they do! I'm a psychopath, remember?
But they only need to be killed by me. Not anybody else.
*mutters*
Right...
*sits back down and watches*
*blows up another*
*laughs and gets hit in the face by a piece of brain*
*shrieks and flings it at Mist*
AH! GROSS!
*rolls away from it and sits up again*
Aren't you meant to love that kind of thing?
*points to one of the last chapters of Mortal Coil*
So very extremely msd
Back! Ish!
Hello, Nix. Alright.
Hello, Val.
Gotta go to bed now, bye!
Bye, Val.
Leaving again.
Bye.
Wow. I just got attacked by a tiny dog called Baby. I could see the madness in its eyes. :P
I have a temp of 39 C! So bloody cold!
Going to the Doctor's tonight to get my sickness looked at!
It is tonsillitis! I have to take meds 3 times a day, and also I need to rinse my mouth twice a day with Listerine Whiting!
IT TASTES TERRIBLE! I RATHER THE PAIN!
Herrow?
Hey Sparky!
Coraline.
Epicness.
Here for a bit.
Hello.
Hi Zath II! I don't think we have met...
It's just a different name, Death.
And a different pic...
Zath!
*trips him into the lake*
Zath, Sparky, I have tonsillitis!
Yeah, but only an edited version of the other-
*falls into the lake*
Sparky!
Still...
Okay, I'm going to bed now... Good night all!
*giggles*
You love it.
*climbs out of the lake*
Very possibly.
Very definitely, Zath.
Lets be honest.
*shrugs*
*turns the air around her into water*
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!fuckyoufuckingmuttmanicshizfsvewhywobtyoulosfykufrikibidiitipid
*gets drenched*
Dick.
*walks up to him*
You know what you need, Zath?
A hug.
*hugs him, making him as wet as possible in the process*
There.
*lets go and chuckles*
Much better.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY it loaded....that was 25 minutes of my life. I was holding it between my toes while doing a handstand trying to get better connection. Stupid iPod.
-_- Now I know why it was taking so long. I chose the wrong friggin network.
THE WRONG FROLLICKING NETWORK
*continues monologue in head*
*pulls her arm and drags her into the lake*
Yes, hugs are always brilliant, Sparky.
*grins and walks back out again*
Hi Eve!
I'm here for a moment and I need to say something...
You know how people say 'why?' And others say 'why not?'
I say 'what the hell are we talking about?'
HI people!
Hi Kes!
Gtg, bye Kes!
Bye!
Hey, Kes.
I sent you an email with my story thing. I actually hate it quite a bit, but it's there I suppose.
Hello bros.
Here is a dreadful plug
*shows a disfigured kettle plug*
No! Not that one, this one:
Dublin Daes is nearly finished!!! But there is still time to become a DD and enjoy the story before the new book starts in January.
So come on, become a DD, you know you want to! www.dublindaes.blogspot.ie
Sorry... I felt a plug was needed.
Yeah, Zath, I got it. I actually thought it was pretty cool. Do you want the link to the book that it is in?
And Now I have to go. Bye!
Yes please.
Bye, Kes.
*shudders*
Some crimes are just a little too perfect...
My comment wouldn't publish again....so I cropped and sorted photos like a maniac. I'm a maniac when it comes to my photos. This is how it goes. There is are albums for Family, Friends, Skulduggery, Internet photos, 13th birthday (etc), 2012 (etc), AND there is an album for every single person, including me. Just then I was copying photos and then cropping them so people will have a picture of them with others, AND a picture with just them. The photos are in time order except the cropped ones which always go at the end and the albums are in alphabetical order.
If I showed anyone these albums they'd think I'm a stalker. I'm just a photo maniac.
OKAY????
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
I'm back, if anyone's still here.
Holy crap, ...And Then She Bled is so creepy...
Helllllooooooo
Midnight in twooooooo minutes
Hi Eve.
It's been midnight for a while now, over here.
He's right.
Dammit...
LAUREN!
Stop making me watch horror movies and then laughing when I jump!
It's mean!
But Sparky, that would be to deny fun.
*grins*
Hi....you.
Midnight in teeeeeeeen minutes ago
Hi Sparky!
...I'M SO JEALOUS! D: It's not MY fault that I live abroad and will probably never meet you. I'm probably just as much a fan of yours as those other... HUMANS are. *sobs* COME TO AZERBAIJAN! Uh... YOU CAN TOUR MY HOUSE! *puppy dog eyes* Pleeeeeaaaase? I'm not your ONLY fan here... My brother reads your books too... so ... Come visit?
COME TO BAKU! AND SIGN MY KINDLE! XD
Vampire Master, where IS Azerbaijan?
DX SEE? THEY ALL KNOW NOTHING! (just kidding :P Tis in next to the Caspian see, Western Asia)
*sea
Awesome. Yeah, I'm clueless. :P
I'm probably his ONLY fan here XD But on the PLUS side, that does make me the single, unique Azeri-minion.
Which vampire do you have a crush ok? :P
AND I HAVE TO READ USING A BLOODY KINDLE! DX AAAAAAH! THE COVERS AREN'T EVEN IN COLOUR! DX MY LIFE IS A CESSPIT OF SORROW AND DOOM AND MISERY!
Yeah, when i first came here, I thought it was all Iri-minions. Then I realized it was packed with kangaroos. :D
*on
XD I'm simple the MASTER of Vampires, I have not crushes, unless you count several lovers from different books, but not all are the creatures of the night you speak of.
I'm not actually FROM Azerbaijan, I just live there, but I'm not really FROM anywhere. My mum is English, which makes me English, but my dad is French... So yeah. Frenchengliazerminion. ONE OF A KIND.
But Megan, your profile says you have a crush on a fictional vampire :D
Well, my mum's Greek and my Dad's Kiwi, but I live in Australia, so I guess that makes me a Greekiwistraliminion xD
:O TRUE! *remembers now* It's Larten from Darren Shan, but it's different, I'm in LOVE, tis not a crush. *thinks she should update her description* ANd he totally feels the same way too. Totally.
:O So you speak greek? And Kiwese? *made up that last language but is genuinely curious*
Are you talking about that Cirque du Freak thing? I saw the movie. Don't know who Larten is....but I'm sure you make a wonderful pair :)
DON'T. MENTION. THE. MOVIE. EVER.
Larten is the guy played by the dude with the orange afro DX
*rant warining*
THE MOVIE GOT IT ALL WRONG! AAAAAH! LARTEN IS YOUNG! AND HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT! AND HE'S SERIOUS! NOT FUNNY! AND EPICLY GOOD LOOKING!
*rant over*
...Yeah, don't mention the movie XD
No, I can't speak Greek, my mum, aunties and yaya (grandma) can speak Greek though. It's quite annoying.
And yeah, I can speak Kiwiese! I'll say 'hello' in Kiwiese:
Hello!
New Zealanders speak English :P But Maori people have a language, but I'm not Maori...
Can you speak Azerbaijanish? And French?
I thought the movie was alright, but then, I should take the word of someone who's read the books...yeah, the Afro guy was pretty weird...
I speak a little Azeri, and I'm fluent in french. ^_^ yes, truly I am. But it's not that impressive, I suck at learning new languages. (somehow becoming a bilingual is easier when you're two, don't ask) XD
Love the profile pic by the way XD
Thanks, yours is funny :D I thought it was a doormat at first, but then I saw thirty people walking on it :P
Hmm. Say, "Stop Walking On Me" in French.
Arrétez de marcher sur moi.
Tu ne me crois pas? Eh, ben, desolé ma chère, mais c'est vrai. Je suis, en effet, bilingue.
Okay, you've proved your point, I have no idea what you're saying :P
I'm sorry if I leave without saying bye, my iPod is on low battery.
XD I have. But still, most people don't even understand me when I speak english.
:O DON'T LEAVE ME! THOU ART THE ONLY HUMAN I HAVE SPOKEN TO... IN... UH... MINUTES?
DX NO! DON'T ABANDON ME!
I'm still here...! But I'm falling asleep...it's 1:10am here....please, someone, come and talk to Megan so she is not alone!
:O DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR SLEEP FOR ME! DX I... *sighs heroically (Yes, it's possible)* I... I'll live... Maybe.... *holds on to Skulduggery... I have an epic skeleton to keep me company...
Skulduggery: YOU KIDNAPPED ME!
Me: SHUT UP! *hugs Skulduggery*
You picked a brilliant day to go to Belfast Derek. Be careful out there.
HI PEOPLE!
I might start learning fencing. Coz I want to quit this Strings Orchestra that I do on Saturdays and is SO BORING, but my mum said she wasn't letting me until I took up something else. Then my brother was saying about maybe taking up fencing when he'd become a good enough swimmer that he was allowed to quit swimming, so I thought about it, and I said I might want to do fencing, y'know, so long as I wasn't in the same class as my brother or anything. So my mum said we could look into it. :)
Oh, and also, today in English we had to read a sheet of information and then answer questions about it. The sheet of information said that teenagers would send more than 120 or spend over three hours on social networking sites are more likely to become addictted to drinking or smoking. It also said that heavy internet usage and depression are co-morbid.
The last question told us to say our views on whether excessive texting and internet usage was bad for you, and if it was different to excessive game-playing or reading. Seeing as I love reading, and how me and other minions spend hours on this blog, I got pretty passionant about the subject and said why reading was good for you and why I thought depression and internet usage were co-morbid, and that excessive chatting inline or through text could at least partially cure depression . . . SO THAT TOLD THE STUPID SHEET. :)
*passionate
Gah, I spelt it like the French word that's similar.
*said that teenagers that would send
I AM FREEZING.
*teeth chatter uncontrollably*
Brrrrrrr...

My name suddenly got veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long. Heh.
How are you?
Oh, yes, Adra. Would you mind writing up a little story about how your OC first met Skul & Co.? I am putting them in a book called "Meetings With A Skeleton"
Here's the link so far. http://www.wattpad.com/story/2230982-meetings-with-a-skeleton
gtg, bye!
Ah, sure!!! And sorry for slow replies, I'm making cookies :3
And EPIC. I'm so in xD
AWW..... *huggles* BYE. I'm sorryyyyyy
WBDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Is you still here?
DEREK! OH MY GOD!
I walked up to my door after school just now, and I saw a battered looking package sitting there with some scribbly handwriting that said my name and you can't even begin to understand the look of sheer joy that over came me. Squealing, I unlocked the door, ran inside, threw all my dumb school stuff on the floor, tore it open and pulled out your letter. I promise I'll use it for your absence. It makes up for the fact that you come, because it is hilarious. And I LOVE the fact that you called me a lunatic. In my book. That's just... Amazing. And thank you for the sticker! IT'S SO AWESOME!
You've made me die due to overload of awesome, so... Yeah. Thank you SO MUCH!
*hugs*
I wonder if i should actually decide to take interest in my post....i probably should as i would have to...well...i hope Derek even got that letter
Hi guys!
Val, that is EPIC!
I think my mom was scared when i got KOTW
My dad definitely was. I cried with happiness for maybe 10 minutes. Then I bounced around the house stroking it for about half an hour. But then I had to do a project...
I got really insane. Daaaaaaamn im so happy.
How long have you had it?
I was nearly biting people and looked like a raving lunatic when I got it.
Hmmm... Maybe that's why Derek signed Death Bringer with "To Ivy... You lunatic".
THAT'S AMAZING.
And he sent me a self portrait to use in his absence at my party.
DEREK YOU ARE SO COOL!
I dunno 3 weeks maybe? But still i have it xD
