Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.
Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...
I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

HOW ARE YOU, VAL?
OMG
I FEEL LIKE A UNICORN RIDING A RAINBOW WITH SKITTLES IN MY POCKET
0o
...
....
That is wrong on so many levels, BUT I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU'RE IN A GOOD MOOD. XD
Yeah, I say weird things when Amanda is near me because WE ARE PSYCHOPATHS
Awww DOCTOR WHO EQUAL SAD
HI PEOPLES!
Gah. I've been involuntarily coming on here less recently. D:
Btw, I FINALLY LISTENED TO GANGNAM STYLE TODAY! Heard it on the radio. :)
Hey people.
Aha Star, you still seem to be on here loads to me.
Gangnam Style seems to be a global obsession...there's no escaping from it's craziness...
Heeeeelooooo
Hey Zafira :)
How's life?
Going fine just hanging in my room lol
Omg ik what im gonna do!!! Hang all the times Derel Blogspoke to me in my room xD
Aha. I've got school tommorow - I actually hate my Monday mornings so bad. French with the most boring stuck-up French teacher in the universe and then P.E (football) with the most evil P.E teacher on earth.
And my friend's evil Syrian hamster who she calls Sammy tried to kill me yesterday. I know it had murder in it's mind.
Haha, how many times then?
I've got a grand total of ZERO.
Hmmm....5? Dont worry yourtime will come. I never thought he'd say hi to me but he did
Ha, I'm probably too annoying for that.
How long have you been commenting on here? And what did he say to you?
zooweemama...
If he did, then I'd probably tell the whole world in response. But obviously, I'd have to tell Becky from the librar first, because she gave me a high-five when I said I got first comment, because she's awesome like that.
Hey Thrust!
Hey Thrust!
I WAS ON HERE ONCE WHEN DEREK STAYED AROUND FOR A CHAT. 'TWAS AWESOME. :)
Yes, I disappeared coz nobody was on. NOW THEY ARE SO ME BACKKKKKK.
Amanda says pigfarts to all of you.
I joined Blogland in January the first time he spoke to me was in May. He answered my question on symbols, the next few times were in June he just casually was talking, the next time i think was in July or August, then, Friday was the latest
PIGFARTS, AMANDA!!!!!!! *waves transversly*
OMG I THINK THIS MONTH OR NEXT MY ANIVERSARY OF BECOMING A MINION
Wow. That's pretty cool.
Hey Star! Yay you're back!
Uh...
Hi Valkyrie :)
I JOINED THIS BLOG IN JANUARY.
Late January . . .
I became a regular in Febuary, I think.
Hi Ieni!
hey Ieni
Amanda is random, Val.
I say eat your washing machine.
Msd. :(
HI IENI! YAY YOU'RE HERE, I GUESS! :)
Hi Star Inkbright (Ink!)
Oh yeah! Derek told Taylor my nice she was odd and Trevor my nephew thought he was the Death Bringer, evil Derek tells him its not a bad thing.
I'll have my 3 week annivesry of being a minion tommorow. Such a fail..
My mum's going to steal the computer from me at some point soon, so I may suddenly disappear.
Oh wow, people are calling me Ieni *yay*
Okay, I`ve decided to go to the pool.
>Bye people. And robots.
*nicely places nuts and bolts on table for robots*
Please do not raze havoc unto us.
I've been reading the blog since May 2011, which was just after I started reading the books and in July 2012 I realised I actually wanted to join in with the commenting...but that didn't happen until September..
Bye Thrust :)
Where have you all gone? :O
Im combing for Derek Blogspeaking.
Daaamn I hope it works my complaint to HC i wonder....that'd be EPIC to read a Blog post finding out he's coming to America, i'd faint
If I do puppy eyes will you all come back on? Please? Well, yes, I'm awful at puppy eyes...but MEH.
Question - what phones do Skulduggery and Valkyrie or anybody else have? Yeah, it's probably the worst question ever asked, but again MEH.
I have actually thought of some decent questions, but I generally forget those...
Fours Thrust!
I'm trying to find the date of when I first came on, Ieni. Sorry. . .
Ah, sorry Star...
JANUARY THE TWENTY-SECOND!!!!!!
Star Midnight said...
I'd also like to learn about symbols
January 22, 2012 4:16 PM
America's pretty big so he'd have to be there ages getting round it all...
But I still think he should go :)
Gah. I was so stupid when I first came on. :P
DEREK SHOULD GO TO AMERICA!!!!
DAMN HARPERCOLLINS!!!!!
STARRRRRRRRR
Well, WRITE!!!!! Gawd! I wrote, I even wrote a letter to Derek....
DEREK!!! DID YOU GET A LETTER FROM ME, MARISSA SPIRITHEART AND SERPHINA JACKSON?
HI OH INSPIRER OF BUBBLES!
Hello, everyone :3
BUBBLESSSSSSSSSS
Aha, I'm might look back at these comments in like however long and think 'wow...I sounded really stupid'.
What's Harpercollins got to do with it? Sorry, I'm so stupid..
Hey Luciana :)
Go on, Star, you've got to have an opinion on my speech, earlier. I'm interested to know~.
I do not forgive
Sleep now.
Byebye Blogland. Possibly annoy you tomorrow..
@Ieni: It's HarperCollins who decides where Derek tours. S'ALL HARPERCOLLINSES FAULT.
@L: The one about Blogland *whispers* DYING???! *gulp*
Ah, saying about it dying makes me sad, but it also makes me utterly determined to come on more and be less distant, which can only be a good thing~. It has been dying recently, true, but like Eve says, we've been saying it for a long time AND WE ANT LEFT YET! Eve also said that it wasn't dying because as long as people are here being happy, it isn't dying - BUT OFTEN PEOPLE AREN'T HERE BEING HAPPY. D: All too often I intend to come here then don't coz no one's on . . . Especially in the afternoons. Sometimes it's even all distanty in the MORNINGS. *shock horror*
Once or twice, when people have been leaving, I've remembered how much the leavers used to try and persuade others not to leave. Somewhere along the line, they'd changed opinions. I made a pledge to myself that when the time came that I wanted to leave Blogland, I wouldn't. I told myself I had to stay here, even if eventually I wouldn't want to. I INTEND TO UPHOLD THAT PLEDGE, AND I HOPE I DON'T CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT IT . . . Blogland is dying slightly. But at least it's a cheerful place. I believe news gens will eventually fill all the gaps and fix it, even if we're not around by then . . . :(
Your speech was good, L. It was determination-firing. :)
I'm glad it fulfilled its purpose :3
I forgive. I always forgive friends. With other people, people I just generally don't like, I find it harder to see their good sides. Probably because they haven't shown them to me. I usually attempt to be a good Christian and try, though.
*smiles* Awesome.
*hugs Star* You have a beautiful heart, to match your beautiful appearance.
Hmm. I'm in the middle of reading this book, but I gave it to my sister to read earlier as she wanted to read it and I wasn't reading right then. My sister now has her light off, but I know she's probs still reading. I want the book. Should I go and ask her for it?
*decides* I will. Brb.
ello
i havnt been on in a while,so escuse my awsomeness
eden im ever so sorry about not being on in so long but life is EXTREMELY busy for a ten year old. yes yes u can gaup and gasp i am ten mwahahahahahahahahah
I DO NOT HAVE A BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE. I have an awesome hat though. :) And my heart isn't all that beautiful. IT'S BLACK WITH THE STAINS OF MY SINS . . . *solemn face*
:)
Of course you have a beautiful appearance! I'm jealous of you, Star!
Your heart is much more pure than mine. :3
is anyone talking
he luciana
Well well well
Would you look who's back!
Story Brave?
Brave, how busy could a life of a yen-year old get?
And Eden's not even online...
He's not going to be able to read that, which just wastes space.
@Star, you're pretty. Don't believe anything else :)
YOU CALL YOURSELF BUSY??? You have no homework, unless you do, in which case you have no homework in comparison to poor little burdened me. :(
Okay, you may have been busy. What would I know? I know 2+2. THE ANSWER IS . . . UM . . . *screws up face ib concentration* Okay, I don't know that. BUT I KNOW 1+1!!! IT'S 3!!!!!
Hello, Brave...
Would you mind using capitals and full stops? Please?
Emmmm! *tacklehugs*
soooo...................well this is awkward
when in dobht dance itS out *DANCES LIKE A DEAD ELEPHANT*
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OK
.,;:/?{[)9 GO PUNCTUATIONLATEXGX OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT
and for youre information i have loads of homework so eat a chicken and puek out a turkey
puke i mean blah i cant talk too day
You could never talk, Brave.
Simple punctuation.
Please, Brave. Eden's spelling and grammar is much better now and he generally gets on well with everyone. Just put in a little effort and you'll be more well-liked. Don't be ignorant, that's my job. XD
Don't even talk to me about being busy. Final year of school...Bleurgh. D:
whaaaaaaaaaat a life of a ten yearold is busy theres training gailec school homework homework homework endless amounts of homework and school. six hours of it!
This aint very relevant but...what version of me and Mrs Jones did Skulduggery sing?
Why is everyone so mean to me? No offense but do you mind if i could ask you to give me a little respect?No?alright just because im ten means im dum dose it?
what
Try seven, Brave. 7 school hours, plus 2 hours of homework.
Pile that on top of lighting the fire, getting turf, piano/guitar practice, piano/guitar lessons on a Tuesday, scouts on a Wednesday, early starts to school on Wednesday and Friday.
Try not getting enough sleep, too.
Then tell us how you feel.
*watches from shadows*
We're not being mean..
HI FLAME AND EM!!!!!
@Flame: If I don't believe myself, I can believe no one. WAIT WAIT WAIT . . . Myself just thought that, so I can't believe it. I BELIEVE EVERYONE! No, I can't believe everyone, then I would be believing myself. HALT! Myself thought that; so I believe everyone, AND THAT MEANS I DON'T BELIEVE MYSELF. WAIT, myself thought that as well, so I don't believe everyone and THAT means I don't believe myself. No, it doesn't, because myself thought that. Oh yes, it does, because it was myself who thought it didn't! Oh no, it doesn't, because myself thought it did. What's it again? I've forgotten. No, myself thought that, so I can't have. How can I have not forgotten it but not know it? OH, I KNOW - I NEVER KNEW IT! No, myself thought that - I DID KNOW IT! But . . .
Okay, I am immensely confused now. LET'S JUST SAY I CAN BELIEVE MYSELF. XD
i have read the skulduggery books EVER-Y SINGLE ONE and i started when i was nine and i read seven of them in less than a year. do not underetimate me now i better go
Brave, just do what I said for Eden to do.
When you're on the blog, rules that you have in your english class are the same rules in here.
It works for Eden.
And 10 year olds never have THAT much homework, I may be old but I remember it well.
Anybody know, or can think of which version Skulsuggery would have sung?
LOL Star... xD
And Brave, don't be complaining about your school schedule. You have no idea.
so all i really want is respect
And Brave, reading is nothing compared to writing. I started my first book at age ten. Guess how long it is? 367 pages. -_-
Wait till it comes to GCSE'S my friend...
Anyone know the answer to my question
Hello?
And sorry tanya, no idea...
Lol Em you're not old :P
Adra, I want you to send that to a publisher.
Now!
And Brave, no one is dis-respecting you.
You want dis-respect, talk to Gep!
No, Sorry, Tanya.
ADRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I believe that at this point in the "saying hello to Adra" ritual, I tacklehug? *tacklehugs*
Couldn't get to sleep, so I'm back for a bit.
Hey Brave. I'm 13 and I still don't get that much homework. Well, my brother made it sound like you have no time to do anything else in Year 9, but I only get 15 pieces a week and I still have time for my music and the internet and my social life is pratically no-existant anyway...but using proper grammar and stuff just makes it easy for everybody else to read, which is kinda we do it :)
Well compared to everyone else here, I am pretty old lol
Brave to get respect you must respect others too.
That means following the rules of the blog and not typing before you think.
It works both ways bud, you can't just hop on and think you earn automatic respect because you'r a fellow Minion. You're still just a newbie like myself.
OH LU SAID HI TO ME AND I NEVER SAID HI BACK!!!!!! DAMN!!!!
HIYA LUCY LU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S'right:)
I haven't been on the blog for a long time. Ppl knew me as Sapphire Rhoda..google acount got kacked up
Im in 9th grade! (year 10) i barely get any homework!
Flame... Idk... I keep on thinking it's too shite to send to anyone... :l
And yeah, Brave. be happy Gepard isn't here xD
*is tacklehugged* STARRRRRR HOW ART THOU?
AND ZAF NO FAIR. -_-
Zafira, im in the same yr as u, and i get loads!
Tanya! FRESHMEN. And I get loads of homework... ESPECIALLY chemistry.
Sucks forchu xD
I WIN
I AM FINE!
@Tanya: If you're not, I'm very sorry, please just ignore me, but: ARE YOU DEATH ROSE?????
Star??
And YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
*does the dinosaur*
Brave, be happy I'm in a good mood. I made someone want to commit suicide when I was in a bad mood, because I get that bad. You're lucky I'm being civil...
Luce when in doubt
*accidently pushes Derek in lake*
Zaf.....
BUBBLES, BUBBLES, MY BUBBLES. *HIDES BUBBLES*
I have every right to. Im not gonna get in trouble he isnt coming to America!
Hi Guys!
I've just realized that Skul must have had a taken name BEFORE he became a skeleton. So did he change it when he came back to life? Explain THAT Derek! :)
Oh, Brave is back. 'Ello Brave. *waves*
Kes, leave my mind. Right now. Hahaha. c:
What? *is confused*
And Star, that was confusing...
wAIT, WOULDN'T HIS NAME JUST HAD BEEN SKULDUGGERY???
GAH
I PUSHED DEREK IN THE LAAAKE!!!
'Ello Flame!
Skulduggery having a taken name before Skulduggery. And if he actually did have a different taken name
There's also the question about whether Skulduggery has a true name, now. Because he's technically dead. Hmm..
Derek, if you have time please explain Skulduggery's names to us. :3
I KNOW. I confused myself so much. :P
Stupid me.
I think Lord Vile should be Skully's taken name...
Adra, Lord Vile IS Skul's taken name. He somehow changed his name and then changed it back.
Well, while Skully was LV... He was like, really powerful. That's what I'M saying. That Lord Vile should be his true name...
that's why he was so freaking POWERFUL
Ah. No, he's powerful when he's Vile because of his 'natural aptitude for Necromancy' combined with all his other powers. I think.
Lord Vile can't be, though. S'two words. Taken names are ONE WORD.
Star, then explain Baron Vengeous.
Yes! I mean, I dont think Lord Vile is his true name cuz why dudnt someone control him?
TRUE names are one word. Not taken names.
It isn't his true name. I don't think...
No, no one ever said that a true name was not two words.. I think.
ANYWAY. Because of his natural powerfulness and stuff, added to the fact that Lord Vile MIGHT be his true name... bam lol idk
Actually true names are GENERALLY one word.
Derek said so *nods*
Derek actually did, a couple of weeks ago. He blogspoke about it.
Hm... Well I stand by what I think. AS for the whole thing that Zaf said. He could've figures it our when he was human, and got the symbols carved in... And technically he still has a heart... It's just... Ashes xD
Yeah, but Vile isn't his true name.
Speaking of Vile, I nearly cried at the end of that one chapter in KotW. If you guys know which one I mean.
And besides, don't you think Derek would say something like that to throw us off??? Because, he'd TOTALLY do that. Don't deny it
But the symbols are useless! Anyone could control him...i mean hell I would if I was Val and hadnt let Darquesse take over
I suppose that's true. But he probably wouldn't outright LIE.
OH GOD KES. I KNOW. D':
BTW... Doran's last name??? MY LAST NAME. SCARY. -_-
and Zaf, Val would NEVER do that. If you were Val, you wouldn't control Skully...
True Derek likes messing with our emotions, maybe we should be one step AHEAD of the Golden God? I mean I didnt expect Skully to be Lord Vile, I threw DB and I didnt expect Derek to fire me, I dropped the iPad
I meant, true names are one word . . .
Gtg, sorry. :( FOURS!
But DARQUESSE might.
I got these little chills, and it was about 1:00 in the morning...
Bye Star!
Yes... Derek is cunning. *nods*
And you never know, maybe his true name is just "Vile", but he put "Lord" in front of it... So that people could tell him what to do, without saying his true name... If you follow what I'm saying.
Zaf, i WOULD'VE thrown DB, but that could have messed up the cover. :)
Actually, I think if I knew Skul's true name I would use it so he would make me toast...
Hmmm true. I feel we may actually be one step ahead of Derek
Val, um...ok...
that is an amazing idea, Val. Love it xD
What? I want someone who can make decent toast. I have a feeling Skulduggery can.
And don't ever think that we're ahead of Derek... Because you're wrong. :P
It would be cool to know his true name, but I would actually prefer knowing his taken name. Don't know why.
I can make amazing toast.
Toast is easy to make.
Easier to burn. :(
I'm really fussy with toast...
Hehehe.
My sister hates me for it.
FLAME. CAN YOU MAKE ME SOME TOAST PLEASE
I would wanna know Derek's true name....oooh he'd be sorry
Flame, you should bring toast if I meet you in Ireland.
He would indeed. But it would be better to know the name of the manger-person of the American HarperCollins.
And It's weird thinking about Skulduggery's real name. It's like the Doctor. You want to know, but it's hard to imagine what it might be...
Like... Dave.
DEREK WON'T TELL ME HIS TAKEN NAME. D,:
True dat, Kes. xD
I want toast, now... :l
Yes. It would be hard for a normal name to contain his awesomeness.
What is the doctors name? Is it just like, Doctor?
What if is taken name is "Derek" lol
Adra, should me and Amanda call you so we can make the Yeti noise?
that'd be funny
YES. VAL. YES.
So do I..
So do I..
Adra, you mean his given name?
Val If I meet you In Ireland, it'd be awesome.
The name of American HC manager ooooh yes
VAL. I TALKED TO YOU... xD\
and I mean taken
I wanna meet all of you all next time I go to the UK and Ireland
But...but...his taken name is Skulduggery...
Adra, you should come the same time as Val xD
Meet up! Invite NJ..
*gasp* I SHOULD!!!
I don't know when Val is going
I would come if I wasn't so young...
As it is, my parents won't let me.
Val is going in march. My mom would not be able to do that xD
Crapp, march?!
Yeah.. I think so. the end of it...
April.
I have to go....
Bye Kestrel!
Adra, that was funny... Could they hear us saying hi?
BYE KES!!! *huggles* but I'll see... LOL if I can get really rich between now and April then it shouldnt be a problem
And yeah, the could... LOLOL. Em said it must've made your day
Yes, I suppose it made our day, because all we've done is be lazy and make party invitations and drink tea XD
And make Wookie sounds?
GET ON SKYPE VAL
Well, Wookie/Yeti/Sasquatch noises are part of the daily routine.
Go on I can scare chu
I can't go on... Not allowed to :/
LOL... ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JOIN THE SKYPE MINION PARTAY???
Guys check my blog tomorrow evening, my time, after sevenish. If there isn't a chapter up and my Halloween story, you can kill me.
Flame, now why would we want to kill you???
And seven?? that's 2PM.. I'll still be in school :/
And I must go now, everyone. Dinner, then homework *ew*
Alright. It was grand talking!! LOVE YOU ALLLLL *mass hug*
Byeeeeeeeeeeeee
Like after that time..
