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.

Okay, I'm gone! Bye!
And that problem was...?
You put a HOLE straight though the artwork of DEREK LANDY...
The top of it anyway..
That actually made me hesitate earlier, but I'll have to tack it to the wall anyway the party.
Val...
The picture...
...
You made my whole year Val. I'm really happy for you. I'm also burning with bubbling liquid jealousy, but I'm exceedingly happy for you none the less. Next step: meeting him.
I'm still at the stage where I mail him some stupid fan letter..
*laughs* The picture was amazing.
I'm probably going to come on to your blog a lot just to see that thing. I really really.... God....
I know...
But it's... *starts laughing again*
Okay, I must go, in my absence, please use your imagination.
Bed now.
Sleep.

I've even amazed myself.
And now, I'm going to leave, even though I wasn't really here and payed no attention to anything over the past few hours.
Goodbye.
Noooooo.
Don't leave.
*throws knife in Zath's direction*
Don't leave :c

http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/2012/09/pictures-lovely-pictures.html
Well, I'm such a NINJA!
*tries to be stealthy* *runs face first into a wall*
Hey guys.
Hi Eden.
We're going to tape that drawing to a chair, and then when we take a group photo I'll be holding it, that way Derek's in the picture :D
Anyway I just got internet at my house, so no more waiting till I go to my dads.
Dang it, I have to go... Be back in thirty minutes or so!
HELLO PEOPLES! *waves*
Hello people's.
BACK!
Thanks for the ded, Kal! :D
GAAAH! I ONLY just managed to get my brothers off the computer -_- Anyone still on?
Kallista, that's the most beautiful dedication I've ever read. *hugs* Thank you, so much. It's almost as perfect as you.
Anyone here???
I'm here! :D
Hi Luciana! :)
Hullo, Valice! :3
How are you doing, my dear?
Very good, just trying to kill CAPTCHA! ;)
What about you??
Hello?
Hi Willow! :)
Hi Valice.
I do not like chicken.
Willow!
*tackles*
I've been better, Valice. But I'll live. XD
Lucy!
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU IN YONKS!
Yonks?
I don't think it's been that long...
I'm stating for this weekend, then I'm gone again.
I just really need some friends, at the moment.
That's good to hear Luciana!
Oh and Willow: I do like chicken but I think they're quite boring...
www.theinsignificanceofthisblogisunreal.blogspot.com
GO READ! C:
Got to go, dinner's ready!!
Hell, I'm hungry!
Pizza...!
I say yonks all the time. Even if it's only been five minutes..
*hugs*
BYE, VALICE! *HUGS*
*hugs Willow* How have you been faring, my dear?
Bye, Valice!
Not that good. Yourself?
Worse than ever.
Been on Xat recently?
ATTENTION
"An estimated 30,000 marchers will take place in tomorrow's Orange Order event to mark the centenary of the signing of the pro-Union Ulster Covenant, which opposed the introduction of Home Rule in Ireland."
" set to be one of the biggest loyal order parades seen in Belfast. "
And apparently, the police are advising people to stay out of Belfast if they can, and especially the parade route.
The Easons where the signing is, is opposite City Hall, and the parade route passes by.
So yeah.
Really this message is for anyone planning on going to the Belfast signing, and Landy himself, in the hopes that he'll stay safe (Though hopefully nothing will happen!) and that perhaps the signing could be rescheadualed?
Also, if anyone has any other way's of getting this message out, that would defiently be useful
(Though everyone who needs to know probably knows anyway???? Just double checking)
Yes, I have, actually. I was told I'm not wanted there and I should just leave. "You're no better than a troll."
Stupid, Draggie, I was always a troll.
Tell him to e-mail me...
Who? Dragona?
Please.
Also,
My best friend just took a name. <3
I told him.
I so wanna visit you Derek Landy!!!!
*hasn't commented in ages...*
*is also probably a bit late for the actual commenting on post part of the comments...*
*oh well*
I shall comment all the same.
1) All this stuff is super amazing and I really wish I'd actually queued up to get my book signed and meet you when I saw you in Brighton last year (I think it was last year...), But I hope I'll see you again some time and I will definitely come and meet you if I do :) Which leads me on to the next part...
2) YOUR COMPETITION FOR YOU COMING TO THE SCHOOL THAT WINS THE COMPETITION THAT HARPER COLLINS SENT AN EMAIL ABOUT TODAY, ERMAHGERD.
I kinda freaked out about it when I read the email, and then went to forward it to my friend (with added squealing note) and accidentally replied to it instead... So now news@harpercollinsnew.co.uk will think I'm mad... Which was a bit awkward...
But anyway, I shall be taking a photo at school on Monday and submitting it and I'M REALLY EXCITED. And I know my friend's shall be too when they see the email xD
And 3) I very much enjoyed Kingdom of the Wicked and it is now in joint favouriteness with the first book and well done and stuff :)
Anyway, that's it... I hope you and all the comment people have a nice day/evening/life :)
I might stick around for a while, too...
*shuffles over to a corner and stands there awkwardly*

Yello, People of Blogland!
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Now I know my ABC's, next time won't you sing with me.
Hello, Flame. How be thee?
I am cat crazy.
CHATZY'S LOADING! WOOT! YAY!
YESS!!! I get to write another messed up fight scene in Honors....hmm which character should intervene? I did Scapegrace and Thrasher. The setting in the woods 2 men pinned under a tree and wolves gonna eat them ALIVE!!!
Hi, Zaf!
Sorry I poofed.
Been in a helluva lot of pain.
Cats are beautiful. *nods*
It's okay, Lucy.
*hugs*
I wish I could get rid of the pain that you're in.
Dang Luce
I got it!!! I am going to have...*evil grin* Derek save these 2 guys out of errs the goodness of his heart (wait i dont forsee this happening he'd Blog about it first then maybe help them)
Okay zaf.
*hugs Willow* I'll be okay.
Pain is pain.
I don't have it the worst.
I'll learn to deal with it, eventually...
Okay I need to do a sort of survey for a story I'm doing.
Who here is a necromancer?
Hmm-dee-dum... I wish Derek could see the t-shirts my friends and I made. Luna made one that had a picture of Val, and it said "Wise Beyond my Years", and of course Marcia and I made Tanith shirts, with pictures of the sword lady herself. And one can only WONDER what THOSE shirts said...
Come and have a go...
If you think you're hard enough.
Zaf is!
