And The Award Goes To...

The Irish Book Awards were held last night in Dublin and the last Artemis Fowl book beat out KOTW to emerge triumphant, giving Eoin Colfer a much deserved win. He went on the make the funniest speech of the evening while wearing the most dashing cravat I've ever seen on a real life person. Big congratulations to Eoin.

A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.


It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...

My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.

Ooh, maybe I should...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its odd because John Smith likes Zaf but see Ravel agreed that John knows he cant get into anything with Zaf so he doesnt care what John does solong as Zaf is in one piece.

I like him he's funny. He's so nervous and I hope to spend a day with him without someone trying to kill me

I said I am turning 16 in 2 weeks i would like to start bit by bit studying for it so i can get my permit! Even if i fail the sight test my doctor said he'll write a note to say I can drive, see one eye must be at least 20/50 and with glasses one eye is 20/25 the other 20/80 and i mean my good eye compensates and all ao i can see as he shows me colors and goes well its ok you can tell red from green you are fine xD

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Monotone is such a black word...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm sorry about that... I suppose that may have seemed a bit odd.

I'll probably resume my thingy now and ignore the fact that it's no longer in "real time"

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

B typed in several sequences, until one finally worked. He looked through the file, his eyes widening as he realized the true nature of the item he'd been sent to recover. He quickly grabbed his coat and hurried out the door.

A darted around New York City like a ninja, jumping off things and ducking out of sight whenever she saw anyone with a suspicious looking hairdo. This was the most fun she'd had in ages. She really needed to get out more often.
A hand on her shoulder. "Excuse me, sir or madam." She whirled, prepared to bite his hand off.

D looked up from her papers. "What is it, Bronwyn?"
"A voicemail for you, ma'am," Bronwyn, the secretary, explained. "Said it was urgent."
"Ah." D didn't comment on the fact that Bronwyn should have been answering the phone instead of sending it to voicemail. "Give it here."

Snow said...

*silently complements fabi's work*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

When she considered all the options, C decided it would be best to attempt to help, but take precautions in case it was a trap. Which it very well might be. She stocked her wallet with several useful items, then selected a destination.

Oops. Apparently wearing a ski mask and darting around like a ninja made you look suspicious. A sighed, and proved over and over again that she was just a harmless weirdo until the detective finally let her go. Good thing he hadn't searched her bag.

Leave it to Bronwyn to manage to delete the voicemail instead of play it. D now only has what her scatter-brained secretary remembered. That might be enough, though... She quickly sent an email to someone who was either a friend or wanted to kill her, she was never quite sure.

Finally, B made it through the traffic (unusually heavy for this time of night) to the history museum. This would be the best place to start. If it wasn't closed. B took a deep breath and walked up the stairs. He wasn't prepared for a break-in, but it might be necessary.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Thanks, Snow. If you want to talk, too, I can be less distant now and keep up a conversation))

Snow said...

No. I'm distant. Being "social"... whatever that means...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Oh, and if you look closely, I put something in there just for you.))

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Okay....))

Snow said...

My brother just asked me how to spell weird and I spelt his name... XD I am soooooooo funny.

Snow said...

I am completely incompetent. I dont know what you've expertly hidden

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Try scanning the two most recent RP comments without really reading them.

And don't look for a really complex code.

Or you could just not bother! XD

Snow said...

XD okay. I see. Lovely. You genius.

Snow said...

Btw, owls. --->

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Henry says hi to his distant relations!

Snow said...

Frank and Jerry say hi to Henry.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Henry says he would offer them a cookie, but he ate them all. He then proceeds to throw a banana at Fabi's iPad in the hope that they will somehow receive it.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I need to sleep soon, just a warning.

Snow said...

Warning received.

Jerry seems to think that the banana is bere but invisible. This is slightly worrying.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Well, I wouldn't put invisible bananas beyond Henry's abilities... O.o

Snow said...

Yes.... well...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Henry just screeched loudly and said something about virtual bananas taking over the world...

Run.

Snow said...

You know, I write like I would talk. So when j put a break or an um or something of that nature, it's because it would be hwo I'd say it.

I also think how I would talk.

Snow said...

But... but.... what?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Okay.

Virtual bananas. Now. Run.

[Hides behind a dumpster and pulls out a virtual banana-gun]

Snow said...

*looks at bananas and pulls some ninja moves, ending up ontop of a building*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Rapidly fires the banana gun, but there are too many, and they're hard to hit]

[Runs from the swarm]

[ducks into a random building and closes the door quickly]

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Sleep, sorry, bye

Snow said...

*laughs maniacally as I throw banana-bombs, killing bananas everywhere*

Snow said...

Bye fab *hugs*

Snow said...

Hello? This is odd. I can speak. Thank God I'm out *stretches* It's kinda annoying just being inside somebody's head all the time. Good to meet you Miss Inkbright. If I try to kill you please do not be offended. I'm slightly sadistic

Star Inkbright said...

@Darcnaiss: . . . Okay.
Hi.

Don't worry. I won't kill you. I'm In a pretty good mood so...


These memories are pretty cool. Of Blogland anyway. Mortal world is so boring. I think I like it here. Rhydian's memories of this place are great!

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Tell me Star, how long did it take to create this remarkable place? And how long do you think it'll take to burn it?

Star Inkbright said...

@Darcnaiss: I don't have a clue how long it took to create - multiple years, though - and I don't know how long it will take to burn it; however, judging by the extent people will want to preserve it, likely longer than expected. :)

Hey Mara! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Helo Miss Charm! I'm Rhydian's True Name.

Do you mind if I destroy this place? Very pretty here...it'll look nice on fire don't you think?

Hey Star! *hugs*

Hello, Darcnaiss:) *hugs*

Wbd, homework -.-
But I'm listening to the acoustic version of Happily, so it's all good :')

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

(Hiya Adra!)

Rhydian wants me to go now....not gonna happen. I like it out here. So much life, and I can kill it all if I wanted.

Star Inkbright said...

@Darcnaiss: Yes, you could. How about you, er, just sit there thinking about how you could and how happy you are?

Hey, Adra! :)

@Mara: Okay. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

No thanks Star. I'd rather just kill everything. I have a feel that you disapprove of my apocalyptic ideas

Star Inkbright said...

@Darcnaiss: Well, you see, the problem is, I rather like being alive. It's kind of nice. And I am part of this 'everything' you want to kill, so . . .

#ChaseForBooknine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

@Star: Yes you are. Ok majority of everything? I can miss out the things and people I like then. Sound good?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey Adra! *hugs*

Darcnaiss - *pouts* But our treehouse took so long to build! And Harry did a good job!

(Harralie!

I thought it was good! Not that Frodo was stabbed twice. Or that, when they were trying to cross the bridge, they didn't toss him first, even though he was the most important.
I dunno.
It was kinda silly

I get the second breakfast thing now, so...

Surprisingly, I did know most of the people and the places already from Tumblr, so...?

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs*

And did you think Frodo looked constipated?

Frodo looking constipated is one of my friends' favourite things to rant about. :P

Gtg now. BYE!

#ChaseForBookNIne

Not that I noticed. His eyes were really blue
Like

Adra blue.


Goodbye, Rhydian

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: FRODO JUST HAS THIS ONE AGONISED LOOK AND HE JUST STANDS THERE LOOKING CONSPITAED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FILM.

Last year . . . when it was New Year, actually . . . me and my family watched all three films in two days. *nods*

But his eyes were very blue. :) *nods*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And my friend always asked why they didn't just ride the eagles *somehow wrote 'ageless' rather than eagles there. :P Rather odd typo* the whole way, and she rants that the whole films is just POINTLESS because the whole journey was for NOTHING.
At that point, I always quote the dragon from Merlin and say "I am not a horse, Merlin!" and talk about how the eagles had important eagle-y things to be doing and how they were not a horse, Merlin.

(I'm sorry, my friends like to rant about LOTR like this. :P)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Although that might be The Hobbit, or both, idk. :P I lose track of when the eagles are and aren't.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

That's what we said, why not just ride the eagles :3

Star Inkbright said...

The lamp hasn't been replaced, you know.

The message saying "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp" on one of the whiteboards in one of my science rooms has eben there for months and nobody has replaced the lamp.

Then again, in the changing rooms, there's this shower that is constantly leaking like a tap turned on (seriously. It's not drops, it's a consistent stream of water) and makes the whole shower area permanently wet has been leaking for about a year and a half now, and who's fixed it? No one.

I suppose everyone (students, members of the public, cleaners, the odd teacher) looks at it, moans about nobody reporting it, and then goes off without reporting it themselves.

Maybe I should report it.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: You said it too? :) :)

Yes. :)

I think a lot of people must have failed to comprehend why they didn't. XD

Star Inkbright said...

And I dedicate to music in general, because it's really useful for stopping yourself thinking or feeling.
And distractions, because they're also really good for stopping yourself thinking and feeling. And it's like you go off and focus on something else for a while, and then when you stop doing it, only then do you kind of come back and see how your mind is.
Yeah. :)

Plus I dedicate to Sudoku, for being very absorbing and fun.

And I dedicate to, obviously, Blogland. Blogland, Blogland, Blogland . . . where would I be without you? Somewhere not as great as this, clearly.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And I dedicate to homework, in the hope that if we flatter it it'll be pleased enough that it'll stop bothering us. :P

Siblings: HOLLY, PLEEEEEASE!

Me: *ignores them* :P

Did you know the schizophrenia is particularly difficult to distinguish from bipolar disorder?

I actually am minorly worried about it, because you know when I type the wrong word by accident? I do that loads, and when I'm speaking as well, and it never used to be really common like it is now. Plus, sometimes my speech can be . . . well, I say the wrong word, and then it can take me ages to actually say the sentence, and sometimes I just kind of give up on being logical and kind of say some of the words that fit in the sentence or different versions of them and hope my meaning gets through.
And like I said . . . it's like people see texting or whatever as a substitute for speaking to people, but now I see speaking to people as a have-to-make-do-with substitute for typing to people. I'm better when I type. :P I can communicate much better, mostly because I have type to think about it, and I can read it and I think it, and you can backspace and stuff . . . whereas when you speak, it's kind of straight from your brain to your mouth and sometimes you don't have time to think it over. And often you imagine how much better you could have handled that conversation, but you don't really have much time to think on it when you're speaking.
I think?

#ChaseFOrBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now. BYE!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Rhydian! :(

#ChaseFOrBookNine

Noelle said...

I rather think having a true name would be boring.

And- I find speaking to people droll sometimes if they don't have a lot of common sense, but other times it can be fun. The fault in words is that they can be misinterpreted, if being read

Noelle said...

Bye Rhy!

Star Inkbright said...

(Then again, I type-speak to you people a LOT, so that makes sense.)

(Also, when you're typing, it doesn't matter if you're being interrupted or ignored. You can still say it.)

(Which kind of rocks.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: You do?

I don't think so, especially. :)

And - it depends on what you mean being having no common sense and depends on the person, also.

#ChaseFOrBooknine

Star Inkbright said...

Like, it's quite common for me to type the wrong word once every few comments.

And I know my comments are long, but still.

Did it in this comment and the last comment. 'Know' instead of 'do' and 'common' rather than 'comment.'

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

OMG POOR TOBY

Noelle said...

Well, I suppose so...

And when one has a true name, their limitless. Where's the fun in that? Limit are just obstacles. They can be worked around, and that's where the fun is

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I know what you mean, actually...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I hate obstacles but knowing the name isn't entirely fun. Look at Nic for example, look how screwed up he is. Look at me I'm not exactly sane

Noelle said...

*they're

Ayyyy Fabi


Everyone gets screwed, Zaf. I'm talking more about power-wise. It's easily corruptible, and, quite frankly, still not fun.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

That's your opinion, to those who decided to have their OC know it they have a different stand on it.

Although, you know . . .

My English teacher once asked me why my handwriting was so bad (I'm not even kidding it's atrocious) and I was like errr, and he was like is it because you're writing to get all your ideas down quickly, and . . . that conversation, I realised it's because I think as I write. I hear the words in my head as I type them, and that's probably why typing helps me get my thoughts in order, because I think as I type, which means I type at thinking-pace and think in orderly typed words, which is good and bad. But, obviously, that means there isn't really a stopping-and-thinking-about-the-words-I'm-going-to-type stage, which is why they kind of get jumbled, plus when I handwrite . . . I write pretty fast, and often my letters merge together, like my 'r's can sometimes just disappear or be a little loop, and my 'w's look more like 'n's because the line on the end of the 'w' is part of the next letters, and my 'h's can kind of go up, have a little lump then be part of the next letter, and aren't really recognisable, and . . . my mind just really thinks too quickly for my hands, and it just kind of sprawls out in a big mess. :P
And also, sometimes I miss letters out, or stuff, and I can do too many lines going up (making half a nonexistant letter), and sometimes, like . . . I can do a 'd', and then the 's' backs into the 'd' and the 'd' is kind of hidden, and . . .

Yeah. :P

Basically, I think I have the occasional communication problem because I kind of think as I write/type/speak.

Maybe?

@Zaf: Right now, I'm sitting here trying to decide which mental disorder I have (or, you know, trying to convince myself I don't have one and am pretty damn sure I have the other). I'm screwed up. XD You don't need a true name for that. :)

I occasionally write in half-print, half- cursive

Me@ *types 'saying one' into Google.

First suggestion: 'saying one thing and meaning another.'

Oh, good. :) Pretty damn common, then.

Noelle said...

Which reminds me... Star, did you have a chance to check out my PTP blog?

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: No . . .

I think you mentioned it, and then I was . . . probably meant to be going to sleep or something . . . or something. :P

*facepalm*

The search suggestions weren't getting me coz I was typing 'incorrect' rather than 'wrong.'

HUNTERRRRRRRRRRRR.

Oh, okay.

And, I'm not sure..
Yes?

I can see the temptation in it. Everyone wants power. Heck, even I want power, but enough of me is smart enough to know that I wouldn't like it once I had it, or that it wouldn't be enough. One of the two.

I came so close to having one of Fabi's parallel future selves tell her. It would have had to be Alia, though, and that would never have worked, anyway.

Because I'm not a strong-willed person in the same way that some of you are. I'm not saying I don't have my own things I get opinionated about, and a bit of a stubborn streak, but if someone got bitter about it, I'd break/back down too easily, and then what's the point of having "power"?

Besides, I sort of agree with Adra about easy solutions like that being boring. While no one "likes" obstacles, they're a big part of what makes the roleplay interesting. For me, anyway.

Not that I have any personal grudge against the people with characters who know their true names.

Holy hell I just saw a bolt of lightening....

Well to me, I enjoy having Zaf know hers because I was able to do some interesting stuff. I made her more insane, and live with guilt of knowing her name got the better of her in the war. So to me, it's kinda fun. Yes, I probably annoy people but I devoloped Zaf to also use her knowledge of her name to help people. How many times has she helped people?

Okay its weird we have a t-storm in January.

Noelle said...

That's the storm that passed over me earlier this morning, I bet..

I know what you mean, Zaf. :) :)

We had a rainstorm last night, er, early morning.

It was beautiful.

I wouldn't want to know my true name. Niccolò knows his, obviously, and was a pretty powerful character from the beginning, but I only even wrote him in because I needed a powerful character. Because, if you think about it logically, how could a nineteen year old girl who's only been training since she was twelve be a successful assassin against mages who were hundreds of years older and far more powerful than her? I needed a shadow- some sort of secret trump card to help me out where I needed it. Whoever it was would have to be powerful enough to deal with any threat I might encounter, and have the capability to remain completely hidden from the rest of the world. From there, Niccolò just started writing his own story. And I honestly did not even expect him to be a minor character, forget a main one. But basically, I needed an overly powerful character to compensate for a weaker one, so power had to be part of his character. Even though he doesn't want it anymore.

Ari is your phone the finger scanner one? Cuz that's cool!

So also I got my new outerbox case from Christmas and I ended up getting an extra cord for charging

Noelle said...

*Nods* I can see what you mean by that..
Merph.

I try to keep Adra in line and balanced, but it's so hard. GAH.

Pulvophile, right?

Star Inkbright said...

@Ari: :) *hugs*

Characters are annoying like that. :P

(I think I'm in a kind of upset mood now, but I'm happy about it because I'm not in a happy mood. Does that make sense? :P)
