Right, well, SOMEBODY at Harper Collins messed up, and I am NOT a happy writer. But, for those of you who may have heard, yes, it is true, you are getting a Tanith Low novella coming you way early in 2013 so, um...
SURPRISE!
Grrrrr.
And before you get carried away with what it might be about or who might be in it, the synopsis provided was an early one, before I'd actually started the damn thing. Biggest change? Ghastly ain't in it. Probably.
So what IS it about, you ask?
It's about God-Killer weapons. Four of them, scattered around the world. Four weapons that could hurt- even kill- Darquesse whenever she arrives. Tanith, being thoroughly devoted to dear Darquesse, does not want these weapons falling into enemy hands. So she recruits a gang of misfits and villains and off she goes to snatch them before the good guys come calling.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stomp away and find someone to beat up...
EDIT
Also, to all my east coast Ameriminions, you better stay safe during this storm and all these power outages. That is an ORDER.

«Oldest ‹Older 3401 – 3600 of 4852 Newer› Newest»Bethany: I... Oh. She could live with us?
(I am unsure whether you are asking how I am or how my day was. The answer to both is worse than average, however, in comparison with last Christmas, today has been somewhat more bearable.)
*smiles*
I'd like that.. shes staying at a friend's right now.
And on a happier note
Cider is awesome and cowing lush
*has finished a can of it and is feeling happy*
(*sighs* *mutters about Alcohol*)
Bethany: ... But she won't be alive in a thousand years...
I..no. She won't..I forgot about that..
(I'm sorry Jai.... )
(It's fine Rhos..)
Bethany: You could bring her here?
(Okay *hugs* )
Can you do that?
Bethany: I brought you here... And here no one ages, becomes ill or dies... This way Amber will survive.
That..would be nice.
Bethany: It would not be fair to see you watch your pet die.
I..admit it wouldn't be...nice for me..
(*smiles* Good night Soph, if you've fallen asleep. Merry Christmas..*kisses her forehead and pulls a blanket over her, a pillow under her head, a present next to her*)
(Jaimie is an amazing person.)
Hello and merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Audra! :)
Hello Rotia, how has your Christmas been?
"I suppose what I'm saying, Mrs. Hughes, is that I wouldn't mind being stuck with you."
Is it bad that the sweetest proposal ever seen on TV reminded me of a song from the 80s?
Fairly average. Quite boring, actually.
What about yours? Get any presents?
Hello, Trip! How was your Christmas?
(No, that's not bad.)
My Christmas if you're talking to real life me was lovely thank you, how about ye?
(And oh good, I'm glad. But it was so lovely!)
Mine was okay... Did you get presents?
Great, thanks.
Yes, I got a new camera which has a fisheye lens and my younger brother and I are amusing ourselves by taking pictures of our cats. They look like they were inflated.
(Double post)
Did you get any presents Rotia?
Argle bargle!
I did actually. I got a lovely framed print of the origional UK marketing poster for the origional Star Wars film and a brand new guitar, and let me tell you, it's music is to my ears what the highest quality brandy is to an alcoholic's tongue.
How about you, anyway?
Those sound like lovely presents, Trip! :)
Deleted comments? :S (please, reveal yourselves.)
No, I did not get anything for Christmas. Tanya got a lovely dagger from Sil though.
I just successfully styled Nelnah's hair in a really complex style! :D
My aunt and uncle sent us a fancy hairdos book for Christmas, as well as a DIY Dyeing book and some hair chalk.
...
I think they've been reading up on the stereotypical teenage girl. XD
The braids/twists/hairdos book is actually really cool though!
(Ah, that is cool, Audra. Have fun!)
Merry Christmas, Fabi! That sounds like a good present.
(I was just going to post "aliens probably think that human hairdressers are sadists" but thought better of it...)
(Those were me, double comment)
Apologies, dinner is ready, I must go
Enjoy your dinner, Audra!
Audra did reveal herself. The first comment was a double post, and I presume the second was as well.
Please calm down... I get really scared about things I can't erase. It's part of why I'm so awful at emailing... If I start feeling like I can't delete a comment without really hurting somebody, I'm worried that I'll start having mini panic-attacks with commenting here, the way I do with email...
Well... Panic attacks isn't the best way to describe it. Panic, yes, attack...not so much. It doesn't feel like it's attacking me, it's more like... You know when you snag your jacket on a blackberry bramble and you have to stop and disentangle it? It's sort of like that, only a bit worse and in a metaphorical sense.
I guess anxiety would be a bitter description.
...
Actually, it's probably similar to how you feel about deleted comments... :-/
I'm really sorry about that...
Also, I'm not saying this so you can beat yourself up about it. I'm saying it so maybe you can try to work on being a bit calmer about it, and I'll try to work on being a bit calmer about sending emails and commenting and hopefully not deleting it. Okay? [hugs]
Oh, and while I'm at it, you should really be asleep. Just saying.
*glares at Derek's homepage*
He really is neglecting his blog if he doesn't even make a Christmas post.
*is possibly not here*
...
Even more ...
*hugs back*
(No sleep yet.)
*breathes slowly*
Merry Christmas, Hope!
Sorry I poofed.
Hi Fabi! Merry Christmas!
Herrow Lav!
I'm sorry...
I shouldn't have said anything.
Hi, Tia.
Hey, Lav, if you're here.
Hello, Trip.
Happy dinner, Audra,
Hi guys! Hope you had/ are having a good Christmas!
*decides to take a nap*
We had a party last night that lasted to midnight. Didn't get to bed until two am. Good night.
*nods and sleeps*
Sleep well!
Oh no Fabi, I must say I agree. I hate a double comment, but it just seems to hold much less malice than a deleted one.
*nods at Hope*
Good night!
(Fabi, that made sense and I'm glad you explained how you feel.
Deleted comments happen. We all have to find a way to live with them.)
Choices:
Stay up all night
Or
Flirt with Silente tomorrow?
Tia, let me tell you now that once you embark upon the road of staying up late to see people on the blog, you will find it very hard to leave.
But I would still endorse that option every time.
I'm already on that road, Trip. But Danni is away and Sil is asleep and I don't know who else is usually online at night...
I think to say I'm usually anything on the blog is wildly presumptuous, but I intend to be here. We can be insomnia buddies! And go on insomnia adventures!
*hugs Trip for warmth*
Sleep well, Lav!
...
I'm hungry.
Msd.
*hugs Kal and her cookies*
(Bye, Fabi...)
MERRY CHRISTMAS, KALLISTA
[Hands her a package wrapped in sky blue paper]
[Hands Trip a package wrapped in purple paper]
[hands Tia a package wrapped in orange paper]
:D
Cookies and cupcakes! Oh boy! *wolfs them down merrily*
*his next sentence is said half in audible due to the cake taking up spaces the tongue would like to go to*
Merry Christmas!
*hugs Tia, and pokes to fire to keep it nice and blazing*
*his eyes sparkle as he sees the gift*
Oh Fabi, I nearly forgot! Thank you! *gets a small circle of rope*
Oogahboogahtoobahshmoozah!
*after a small puff a very butch fairy lays sizeable gifts at the feet of Fabi, Tia and Kallista*
Oh, no. I'm drifting in and out of consciousness.
*all the hugs and a nearby fire warm her up*
*opens the orange present*
((Jaimie is an awesome person, guys!))
*opens the present left by the fairy*
((Which Jamie?))
*a large jack-in-the-box springs from the gift, holding a smaller box*
Also, Kallista, you may want to reformat the stories so the have black text, because I currently can't read them.
Now to come up with what all the packages contain... That's the tricky part.
Kallista's explodes with rainbow sparkles when opened, that much is obvious, but rainbow sparkles isn't a Christmas present by itself...
Trip gets a megaphone that translates everything said into it into several different voices, including Dalek, Darth Vader and various famous people with cool voices.
Tia gets... Some hot cocoa, warm fuzzy socks, and gloves that have the special material in the fingertips that lets you use a touch screen.
Hm... What to give Kallie... Something awesome. Can't give her awesomeness by itself though 'cause she already has so much of that... Um... How about a little diorama thingy, except the stuff inside it actually moves. It has a lot of brightly-colored rabbits and a smiley sun and possibly a rainbow. Some generally happy stuff. That sounds good. [nods]
I thought you might like it.
I can't read them right now because I have to go to dinner soon-ish, and I like to read stuff when I have time to enjoy it properly, but thanks for letting me know!
Haha!
*thanks Fabi with Morgan Freeman's voice*
Absolutely.
So.. full.. and... tired...
Shh, I'm totally packing.
(Silente's author Jaimie....
Then again, do you know a Jaimie who isn't totally awesome?)
(*is sleepy*
*has to go*
*melts into all the warm presents*
*is, at 2 am, going to sleep early for a change*)
Good night! :)
Goodnight Rotia :) sleep well
Goodnight Rotia :) sleep well
(Sleep well Tia! Merry Christmas!)
And it sounds like you did Christmas right to me, Audra.
-_-
Stupid double comment.
I refuse to delete it! Refuse! Take that double comments!
*will sleep double well*
(I wish you good dreams, guys!)
I would agree Trip. It was quite nice :)
How was your Christmas Trip?
I dedicate this page to a mystery person who most of you have probably never met. I'm not going to say the name, gender, or anything else about this person that would help you figure out who it is. Not that you very likely could, in any case, but still. Just thinking about this person is making me grin like a total idiot. Um...yeah? People like this person make the world a better place.
(Someone please give Sil/Jai a warm hug and remind her she's awesome when she returns...
*really goes now*
Good night!)
Gtg
I'm glad you all like your gifts!
Audra, I'll give you yours when I get back, if you're still here. :-)
(@Fabi A Blogland person? .
And hear hear for good people...)
Lovely thank you. The family were around, and we ate and laughed and exchanged gifts, it was Christmas with all the trimmings!
If I see her before you do Rotia, I will do just that.
Goodnight :)
Hear hear Fabi!
Goodbye Fabsi! Enjoy your turkey sandwiches!
Oh great Trip! :) sounds similar to my own, though family was last night and today we saw friends and neighbors.
Enjoy Fabi! :)
And a gift? It's really ok, I don't need anything. I don't know what to get you!
Yeah, we're family both days, but we spend the evening of Christmas Day over the road, it's quite lovely.
Hello Kallista, nice to meet you! (I apologize if we've already met)
Only my dad's side of the family is in town so we go to my grandpa's house for sandwiches on Christmas eve. Then we crash our family friend's family brunch on Christmas and have dinner with our neighbors.
Oh gosh, no. I wouldn't have been able to post it if I was talking about a Blogland person. I'd have been really terrified but also laughing about it because yeah.
Turkey sandwiches? We had vegetarian meatballs (wheatballs?) and green beans. :-)
My iPad lets me view blog posts in normal black text white background if I touch a little button in the corner. :-)
I'll bbs
Back, though I'll be distant.
Distant as well!
Arranging a modern remix of the overture from the nutcracker with Nelnah! :D
Thank you Kallista :)
That sounds fun Fabi :)
I swear to god my gerbils have man crushes on Tom Hiddleston! I just got Thor 2 and I see the scene where Odin sentences Loki and the two morons are squeaking at his voice and when Odin sentences his they get agitated!
-Zaf
That is so cute Zafira :)
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!-Zaf
How has your Christmas been? Have you got any presents?
May or may not be here for a few minutes.
Hello Alistair.
Hello, Audra.
I apologize,
**Alastair
How are you?
I am quite well. How are you?
Fine, thanks.
I have seen you ask people what they do here for fun and now I wonder, what do you do here for fun?
Fine, thanks.
I have seen you ask people what they do here for fun and now I wonder, what do you do here for fun?
*observes her double comment, puzzled*
How did that happen two minutes later?
I haven't had any fun here in a very long time.
Oh, why is that? What did you used to do? I'd be willing to do what ever you did with you if you desire.
I apologize, I have to go. Maybe some other time.
*sighs and starts singing*
I've got the Landy bluuuueeeesssss, he hasn't posted anything about his Christmasssssss, and he's been neglecting his poor bloooooooog! Lalalalala...
*would also like to mention how off key her singing is atm because she's making up a random melody as she goes*
*is also not here*

...um...well...
JAIMIE IS NOT AWESOME
IN A COMPLETELY NON-FLIRTING WAY (dw, I'm not gay. Or bi. Or straight. But um. XD) -
YES, YOU ARE AWESOME, AND I TOTALLY ADMIRE YOU.
(Hello.)
(JAIMIE IS NOT AWESOME SHUSH WITH YOUR LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS)
(Hey Soph.)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her tightly*)
(*hugs Soph tightly back* Hello Sophi.)
(Would you like to continue with the roleplay?)
(I would.)
I...admit it wouldn't be very nice...to watch her age and..age..
Bethany: Then it won't happen.
*smiles and pulls Beth closer, kissing her gently*
Thank you.
*happily reads past comments (sometimes if I'm bored in the morning but even then its only skimming)*
I fully agree with Tia / Kas
Jai you are awesomez!!!
Bethany: *wraps her wings around her, kissing her back* You're welcome. Anything for you.
(NUH NOT TRUE!)
(Also hello Rhos.)
*smiles at the feel of the wings*
You really are brilliant..
Bethany: *shakes her head, wrapping her wings entirely around them both like a cocoon*
*closes her eyes, brushing a cheek against the wings*
I love you
(Hi and yes it is true,
The joys of being welsh:
We tell you straight, and that's me telling you straight, that you are awesome!
End of story! )
Bethany: *her wings start to glow silver and heat starts to emit from them again* I love you, too.
(You know what comes after the end of a story?
THE SEQUEL
NOT AWESOME)
*shiver slightly and sigh, happy, smiling*
(I am somewhat confused. Why would a nationality at all change whether you are telling the truth or not?)
Bethany: *her wings and hair start to glow white*
Jai, just accept it!
I deal in facts! And the fact is You Are Awesome!!!!
That's the be all and end all of this matter,
Even Soph would agree with me! (I think)
(Nope.)
*grins and strokes the feathers, slightly burying her hand in them*
(I do agree, yes.)
Bethany: *closes her eyes* Why do you always stroke my wings?
(Shhh *gags Soph and ties her hands behind her back* no agreeing..)
And i don't know why but I read it somewhere and that's one of the facts in this list *nods* so I don't see how it works but its true ) (for the whole nationality thing)
They're soft..and warm..and feel nice..
*.hugs Beth tighter a moment then goes to stroking her hair instead*
Jai! I'm stubborn so you're going to lose (only Chloe can out debate me and even then I let her win...)
So yes you are and there is no two ways about it!
(Rhos I'm stubborn too. So is Soph. Soph is more stubborn than me..
And no I'm not awesome.)
(*pulls her knife from her back pocket and cuts through the rope, then removes the gag* That was unfair.)
Bethany: ... Thank you. *keeps hugging her*
(*frowns* Oh..forgot about the knife. Darn it..)
You're welcome
*smiles, playing with her hair*
I glad you don't use your necklace much..
See, Soph and me will win this!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
You are!
Bethany: Why? *cuddles against her*
(Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not. Am not.)
*cuddles back*
Because I like your wings..
Bethany: Good. *smiles and kisses her*
*kisses her back, pressing against her, adding more passion*
Bethany: *matches her passion, using her wings to pull her close*
*presses against her, running hands through Beth's hair*
Bethany: *smiles, continuing the kiss*
*opens her mouth slightly in the kiss, arms moving from her hair to her shoulders, keeping Beth close*
Bethany: I really do love you.
*smiles* I really do love you too..
Bethany: *cuddles against her*
*smiles and cuddles her back*
Bethany: You really are amazing.
So are you..
*closes her eyes happily*
I'm so glad Liliana didn't manage to kill you..
(Good morning my lovelies)
(Gem gem! *cuddles*)
(Hello, Chione.)
Bethany: As am I.
(*Cuddles Sil* Sorry that I disappeared last night, I tried to say goodnight but the internet cut off before I got to. And I have a new chapter up and another on the way. Just saying.)
*smiles*
In all fairness, so is Lil probably..
(It's okay Gem :) *scurried off to read*)
Bethany: Probably... I mean...
(Back from reading.)
*smiles*
You mean..?
Bethany: She got fun out of us...
She did..
Bethany: And I suppose it wasn't too bad for us...
*smiles*
I certainly enjoyed the parts with you..mainly the ones when you weren't in pain..
(Kinky)
Bethany: Between you and Liliana, there wasn't much of that. *smiles*
(@Gem very.
We can rp too if you want?)
*smiles back*
I know.
Bethany: *cuddles up to her* Are you alright?
*cuddles back*
Better than ever. You?
Bethany: You are? But... What happened?
What happened..is in the past..I have you. I..I'll deal with that when I return.
(@Jai Hey there, hot stuff. :3
You are amazing, plenty of people think so!)
(*cough*Dontcallmehotstuffitswierd*cough*
I'm not amazing.)
(*considers life choices such as the last comment*)
(Rebecca and I used to flirt for fun but as you can see, I seem to have forgotten how...
Yeah...
You're awesome though. You make me smile all the time...)
(I don't know who Rebecca is..
I'm not awesome.)
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Bethany: Oh... Okay.
(Hey again.)
Its fine..
Bethany: I will be there for you.
(What was that time gods name again?)
*smiles*
I know you will
(Aetas.)
Bethany: Good.
(I will be back soon.)
(Thank you.)
*kisses her gently*
And I'll be there for you..
(Okay.)
(*hugs Jai who is awesome*)
(*tries to find this person who apparently has the same Nickname as me but is awesome where I am not*)
(*is freezing to death again because parents refuse to turn on the heating*)
*plays with the warm dagger Silente gave her*
(The awesome person is youuu, Jai!)
(Stupid parents
*is not awesome*
*gives Kas the RTG worm*)
(BBL)
(Nuuu!)
(*hugs Sil and the worm*
See you soon...)
What's all this arguing about being awesome or not? Sil, you just gotta accept it for what it is. True. And you need to build up your ego.(*is teasing* :P)
But really, you are awesome. Accept it and just go with it. I mean, I'm only awesome for shared interests, but that's still something. And look at DEREK. He's all kinds of awesome, but that's because he's DEREK anyway. See, even my iPod is capitalizing his whole name.
Ahem, getting off topic. Sil, you are awesome. That's all there is to it.
*nods*
*may or may not be here*
*still wants DEREK to post*
(I am back.
Dragona's sister acquired Frozen yesterday.
My current thoughts on the matter is, "Why the hell does anyone like this film?")
Bethany: *kisses her back* Thank you.
(Hello, Hope and Sophia.
I may watch Frozen if you want, Sophia, in an attempt to figure out what all the fuss is about.)
(As far as I am aware, the only differentiation between this and the other Disney films I have seen is that this is considerably more cheesy.)
(It also has songs every few minutes which are pointless and somewhat irritating.)
(@Soph Awwww killjoy! Frozen is great!)
You're welcome..
Shall I go get Amber?
