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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4804 Newer› Newest»Val, that is just...*is shocked*
Omg i think, on the day of the party Derek should spend the day talking to the Bloglandians....of course if he can if he busy thats another matter
Zaf, yes. He should.
It'd be AWESONE!!
Val, would you mind writing a short story about the first time Ivy met Skul & Co.? I am putting them all in the book shown in the link above...^
Zaf, of course it would!!!! And it would be the closest some of us will ever get to meeting him...:(
I love how pissed off Zaf was xD she'd totally just chop people's ears off xD i think......
*glances at portal to Ireland*
Yep. And you got to call Bisahalini an idiot. Although he DOES have an admittedly epic name.
See this is why if America went into a war Zaf would ignore rules and fight. xD she just is violent
And amazing. If America went to war with the IRELAND Sanctuary, which side would you fight on?
I guess I'd say America
Er... If Ivy met Skul, Skul would've died.
Val, I'm not entirely sure if that's possible...
Gtg, bye!
Bye Kestrel!
And it is. Ivy would blow him up, so...
I gtg
God morning Blogland!
Anyone?
Yes! I am here!
*Pouts*
Might be a bit late though...
ARHA
Hey Nix!
And what does 'ARAH' mean?
MSD
Hi guys!
Nix, would you mind writing a short story about the first time your OC met Skul and the gang? I am putting them all in a book which MAY find it's way into Derek's mailbox...
I'll try, if I have the time
Thanks Nix!
Death, I've considered something along those lines...
Have you ever considered the possibility that we are all just figments of someone else's imagination with a conscious. If we are all figments of one's imagination with a consciousness does that still make us figments or something else?
Sorry, I needed to rewrite it!
Eh, it's fine. Sometimes I feel like I'm a character in a book...
Me too, I feel like someone is always watching me...
*Looks around and sees man in a black suit with EXTREMLY long arms and no facial features* *Walks up to random man*
Hi! I'm Death Rose!
Hi Zath! I'm talking to Slender but he is not replying!
Hello Zathract Darkshade.
Still the same person, Kes...
I have to watch this stupid show where animated bunny slippers come alive and eat people...
Scary...
NOT!
Zath, I know. I just like doing that.
I didn't, at least not until last night...
Alright then.
Nix, still here?
*Shrugs*
Doubt it
*sneaks up behind Death* *shoves her in lake*
Hey!
*Falls in the lake* *Sits up*
What was that for?
Writing skulduggery fan fiction from scratch.
Help welcome.
I was bored. *shrugs and runs away*
Hey Zath
Thrust! I was talking to your reflection yesterday!
Hey Thrust! Do you have any written yet? If so, post it here and we'll help you!
I said MSD
Really, no one listens
*Chases after Kes and pushes her into a tree*
Hey Nix!
Kes, did you by any chance read my old/new story?
If so, what did you think of it.
I literally got no feedback from anyone. Except of course from lord vlaedr
Thrust, yesterday Thrust2 said he has never met Skul. Have you?
Thrust, the Minotaur knockoff one? I thought it was pretty clever.
Oh really, rose? What sorta crap did it regurgitate for you, huh? Erase it from your mind! After telling me...
*jumps out of tree onto Death's head*
If I did kes, it would be a boring meeting.
And thanks, kes!
So I'll take that as a no? Dammit.
And it said that, did I' now? Hmmm... Interesting... Interesting.
Sorry, kes. I will look into it though.
Ok..
Zath? You can still call me Mist...
I know you said MSD. That was only why I asked if you were still there.
Even though you're probably gone now.
Very true. *nods wisely*
I'm still here. Miricle my internet's still going
Yeah, I know, I wasn't talking about you as such
Oh, okay.
How're you?
What's wrong with your Internet?
Sorry, reading story of Thrust's!
It's a messed up internet Kes. That's all you need to know
I'm meh
*Trips Kes over and throws her in the lake* *Laughs*
How do you like it?
*swims around* Quite a lot, thank you.
If I suddenly stop commenting, it's because I've fallen asleep
Meh. Always meh. *nods*
Hi zath, btw. Nice contrasted colours. You look likes Matrix computer thingy. Or an alien.
Hi nix. Hope your Internet is un-messed up.
Hi zath, btw. Nice contrasted colours. You look likes Matrix computer thingy. Or an alien.
Hi nix. Hope your Internet is un-messed up.
Alright then. *jumps out of lake and ties Death to a chair* *throws chair in volcano*
*Grabs speedboat and a tube*
Kes! Get on and I'll try to flick you off! Just warning you, I'm a mean driver!
Thanks, Thrust.
Um, Death, I just tied you to a chair and threw you into the volcano...
*Suddenly in volcano* *Slowly sinks and thinks "I never thought I'd die by drowning in a volcano..."*
You're very welcome, zath! You know when I was a younger lad... Wait, are you being sarcastic?
Nope. When I'm sarcastic, I usually make it really pronounced.
You posted while I was writing
*Lava breaks through chair* *Swims back to the surface*
Kes! It's nice in here! Thanks!
*Swims around and finds my discarded cutlass*
Now we are gonna have some fun!
Like:
"Well, thanks SO much, Thrust. I really needed that utterly relevant comment that had EVERYTHING to do with the conversation. THANKS. *rolls eyes* "
But I didn't feel that, no I was actually saying thanks. *grins*
How do you do the italic and bold writing?
I can't figure it out either...
Great *grins back sheepishly*
Italic.
< i > text here < / i >
Without the spaces. Same with bold, only replace the 'i' with 'b'.
See the note under the post box, saying stuff about HTML?
Bold.
And a sometimes makes it blue... I know the actually meaning for it, just not right now
Used to make it blue.
Not anymore.
Now it just underlines the text if you hover your mouse over the text.
Alrightyroo.
No more blue :(
That rhymed...
It doesn't work on iPod!
Well, yeah. You don't really have a mouse on devices that aren't computers or laptops.
No... NO! In 29 minutes I have to gargle Listerine!!!!
That's why I said it.
get it?
bold
wait!
Of course I did.
I'm on my iPad. It took a full minute to do that.
IT DOES WORK!!!! I didn't put the " / " in!
YES
Awesome! Thanks Zath!
That is so cool!
Thank you Zath!
*Gives Zath a big hug* *Doesn't let go*
Hey people!!
Hi Dark! Have we met...?
...yes
Hi Calidae!
*mutters*
Hello, Dark.
My name USED to be Phoebe :)
Hey Kestrel :)
what does this do?
...?
How are you Cali?
Already explained that, Kes. Hover your mouse over the text and it'll underline.
Oh, Pheobe, what is up?
I don't like Listerine!
bold
Hi calidae. I enjoy when I dream awesomeness.
I have to go try and enjoy that soon. I don't know how soon, but trust that I may suddenly disappear.
YES!!! IT WORKED!! HAHAHA!!!
Cali, I am experimenting with the tags, and apparently that one doesn't work.
Ahem. Sorry about that. Ive been trying to get it to work for a LONG time.
Oh, Zath THAT was why it didn't work. I am on iPod.
I'm going to go now.
Adios.
Thrust, you, Kes - I think - and myself all had the same dream, the same night and we were different in different positions!
Bye Darkshade :)
Bye Zath!
*Lets Zath go*
*Starts breathing faster* less than 20 minutes until Listerine!
Bye Zath!
Cali, would you mind writing a short story about the first time your OC met Skul & Co.? I am putting them all in a book which may find it's way to Derek's mailbox...
what does this do??
Nothing....
Derek still needs to buy milk, and toothpaste...
Awesome idea Kes!! I'll so do that :D
Thanks! You can send it to me at kestrelstarr@gmail.com
Have any of you ever heard the song Sk8er Boi?
She said see ya later boy
Yes! It's an awesome song!
It's stuck in my head.
He wasn't good enough for her
I'm watching some strange movie where the main characters are cows and the villain is a yodeling fat guy in orange glitter jacket and is stealing the cows...
umm.
That is weird. I think the doctor should save them
Awesome song!!!!
-listening now-
WHAT?!?!
THE doctor!!?
What is it called?
Yes, The Doctor.
And their friend is a talking, sleep fighting horse whose partner is the villain's minion. But the minion is some big, high and mighty bounty hunter! I am so confused!
...ths will sound odd, but what day is it? Like, monday, tuesday...
I would be too...
What's the movie called?
Thrust, Kes, the dream...
It is Thursday here, Friday in Ireland, and its about 40minutes to Friday here.
Home on the Range, Kes
Yes, Death, the Dream. That was creepy.
Alright then. Heard of it, but never seen it.
It is... Uh... I have no idea for Australia!
But 3 of us had it!
It could mean something!
You were serious? I thought you guys we joking!
Damn.
Maybe it's a PROPHECY!
OKAY. Thanks.
Believe it or not, Im in Malaysia... with serious jetlag, coming from england, going to NZ... Yes, I'm fairly well travelled :)
Just asking cause A i dont know what day it is and B now im SOOO annoyed cause im going to be hundreds of kilometres above the ground when THE LAST EPIC EPISODE OF DW IS ON TV WHICH IS SO UNFAIR!!! I WONT BE ABLE TO WATCH IT!! MEGA UNFAIR!!!
No Thrust, I was DEAD serious.
Oh, and Death? Im a Kiwi girl :D
You didn't stress it enough. Make sure you do next time.
I'm am an epic Ameriminion! *grins* our Grand Mage is named BISAHALINI. or at least one of them is.
I dont even know if we HAVE a grand mage.
Derek.... at least MENTION nz in your next book PLEASE!! :D
I dedicate this page to dreams.
Thrust Ominous, Kes and I all had the same dream about a sleep over a Derek's place. Last night I had a dream about the Cookie Monster eating little kids... Yeah I know... Strange!
I also dedicate this page to auto correct!
I hate auto correct. It is always misspelling words that write and I bet that there are going to be a few words in here that are wrong because of it!
Course you do. Every country does.
Death, if you hate autocorrect, then why are you dedicating to it? And I have to go now...Bye!
Nix, I'm clueless. I've spent the whole week on the couch and on the house boat...
Well, YES, but, how are we to KNOW who it even is!!?
Gotta go guys be back in a bit :)
Bye Kes and Cal!
Rose. We must discus this dream of yours
Okay... I was sitting at Derek's feet while he was talking to the smart kid and while someone walked in... I thought it was some freaky fever dream... I'm still not sure...
I'll be back momentarily, I have to have lunch and then... *Gags* Listerine
What??
That's freaky.
What else do you know?
... Um... What colour were his walls..?
A grey/blue... Maybe white or cream... It was a light colour, that's all I remember about the walls, that and there were framed certificates hanging on there!
I don't know about the hanging stuff, but the walls were deffo yellow or cream in mine...
The room was dark too
I saw certificates in wooden frames and he was sitting in a black chair
Maybe I'll draw a picture of Derek's house.
Derek!! Hi. Um, I had a really really good question for you, but I keep forgetting these things.... But while we're on topic. Would you consider inviting us for a sleepover?
Please master? I'll bring my 'I *heart* Derek Landy' pajamas! Okay, I'm eating now...
Bbs!
That's very creepy, rose. Go eat.. I think the smart kid automatically had glasses on when I realized I was stupid for not talking to Derek... But they sorta just appeared.
DEREK READING THIS: :D these guys worship me and stuff.../ oh GOD...
*loves that Derek called me a lunatic in my book*
In you book.... And then you complain about how unlucky you are, Val v. I love that he called you a lunatic too. Did he send you another letter?
He sent me a drawing with the package...
It said, "Sadly, I will not be able to attend your party this year...
In my absence, please use this self-portrait."
And he drew an awesome picture of himself.
REALLY?? Awesome Val!!
(p.s I am back...)
Can I SEE that awesome self portrait?
*falls off chair in excitement*
Yes, I'm in the process of making a post for it...
He sent me a Skulduggery STICKER. A FREAKING STICKER.
I didn't even know those EXISTED.
I had a WEIRD dream last night. It was a jumble of loads of things... I think derek was in it, and so was Val, and there was this guy from How I met your mother, and loads of others... It was odd.
And awesome! But really weird...
We can see that too, right?
SP STICKERS!! NO WAY!!
Silence... is it me!!? * starts munching Valsnack * these fix everything...
I'm back.
Because I can't keep writing useless rants forever and no one's on email.
Heh. Yeah.
I just had to suffer through meds and *pauses, unwilling to continue* Listerine mouthwash
Okay, these pictures are finally uploading...
Lucky you death. Lucky you.
Lucky?! Mouthwash is terrible!
And Val, where are these pics?
They aren't posted yet, but I'm working on it...
