And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.
Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?
To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.
Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

«Oldest ‹Older 4201 – 4400 of 4804 Newer› Newest»Bethany: I... Didn't, either.
Liliana: Aww, was the poor little vampire awake, thinking about how she enjoyed whipping the angel?
(-pokes Lav again- I'm good. Disney films later at a friend's house with ice cream (much later))
Cool! Sounds fun. :) Hope you enjoy it.
-growls slightly-
No the "poor little vampire" was awake thinking of how many ways to kill a certain person.
-rolls her eyes to point at Liliana-
(I should do I love Disney :) Disney is da bomb!)
*totally agrees*
So many good movies, I don't even have a favorite because I like them all. :P
Do you have a favorite?
(I could never have a favourite. Frozen, Hercules, Fox and the Hound, HTTYD (think that's Disney) Freaky Friday..)
Um, I think HTTYD is actually dreamworks, but I like that movie too. ^.^
Goes with the others on your list. :)
*pokes Sil*
HTTYD is dreamworks, silly.
(Ah yes it is indeed dream works. Damn it. But yeah Disney are amazing.)
(-pokes matty back- then DreamWorks are cool too.)
Hi Matex!
How are you?
Speaking of dreamworks, I also really like the ROTG movie! ^.^
...
Hi Fabi!
*hugs*
How are you doing?
(Hey Fabi!
-has forgotten what ROTG stands for-)
Tireddddd
Especially my feet
You?
(-hasnt seem rotg-)
Rise of the Guardians. :) That movie was really cool.
(-huggles Fabz- sleeeeeeep fabz :)
[the "you?" also applies to Silente]
As I said earlier, I'm meh.
I can't. I've got to stay up until the leotards are out of the laundry so I can hang them up to dry. But I appreciate the sentiment.
What time is it for you, Fabi?
(I'm okay Fabz :)
Well, I suppose it could be worse than meh, but it also could be better, and I hope it is soon.
Eleven. Rehearsal ran an hour and a half late.
(stupid leotards stopping you from sleeping)
[shrugs]
They should be done in about ten minutes and some things need to be done. Better I stay up late and deal with it than my mom.
*shrugs*
My mood's been swinging recently.
It's been like that for a while now.
And wow, no wonder you're tired then.
Hope you can get a good rest once it's done. :)
[hugs Lav]
[hugs Silente]
Thank you both for existing
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
LIliana: You whipped her and now you're wanting to kill her too?
*looks at Fabi curiously*
*smiles lopsidedly and hugs back*
You're welcome.
Welcome back, Soph. :)
Gtg bye
Bye Fabi! Good night. :)
(I seem to be disappearing regularly. Apologies.)
It's alright, Soph, but I'm going to have to go now. Sorry.
Bye!
(Goodbye, Lavender.)
(sorry fell asleep)
No I want to kill you lil.
-sighs-
Should we expect more attacks today?
(Damn. You've probably left for college or something. Stupid sleep -_-)
(IN WHICH CASE SOLO RP TIME WITH A DIFFERENT SIL!)
()
-running through the trees, as she always found herself doing, she hurdles and weaves from the unknown danger for an unknown reason. All she knows is she should run fast. As fast as she can-
-she'd never been to this part of blogland before, doubted anyone had it was so far from the clearing. The trees had changed from oak to willow and Hawthorne.
It send chills up her spine-
-an unholy laughter from right behind her echoed out and she spun, thrashing at the air and falling backwards, rolling down the slight incline-
-fear was chilling her to the bone when her head smashed into something causing her to cry out. Her surroundings were viewed through blurred eyes, jagged teeth sticking up from the ground, towering forms dotted around-
-she whimpers, scrabbing back against what she was pressed against, blinking her eyes clear and calming slightly-
-those weren't jagged teeth, they were grave stones, the towering forms little more than fancy statutes of the wealthy-
-trying to stand was an effort but stand she did. Fear was still rippling around inside but was joined with a strange calmness. She was in a graveyard, with no one else in sight. She frowned at one of the stones, walked towards it, reading aloud-
Hated Enermy and Untrusted Friend
Finally Death didn't fail
A brighter day awaits us all
November 22 1880 - December 5 2014
Silent Tempest, Ashlea Maria Crimson, Onwa
Gone and soon forgotten
-a frown creased her brow as she saw a freshly dug whole by the stone, gaping, hungry. She backed away quickly, goosebumps ripping, and hit something tall, solid and warm-
???: Boo.
(*sighs*)
(*ogle's* (watches...) )
Mine!!!!
((Hey Rhos...hey Jaimie...))
(Morning Gem, how be you? *offers huggle* )
-screams and jumps forwards, eyes locked onto ???-
Who are you??
???: I'm Mr B. B. Wolf.
Why are you here?? Following me!
Mr B. B. Wolf: Because, Miss Tempest, if you'd care to check the time you'll find its a rather significant one.
I-it's like 9:30 or something..that's not significant.
Mr B. B. Wolf: oh? Not the actual mortal time. I mean by my watch.
What time is it by your watch Mr Wolf?
Mr. B. B. Wolf: -a knowing smile crossed his lips and in a deep rolling voice he said-
Dinner time.
~Fin...for now!~
(Oh Yey people showed up! :D)
(Wow *claps* bravo Sil)
(Thanks Garr..you should be seeing more later. Depends how bored I get..)
(And eventually it'll become an rp for everyone.)
(How do you think i am? My birthday was one of the worst days of my life and i cried for over an hour last night.)
(..-hugs Chi tightly- I'm sorry for spoiling your birthday..)
(It wasn't you... you were right to ask Zafira that. Obviously she wasn't going to be civil. How dare she...i invited her to join in too... everyone saw i was trying my best to be nice to her...And Rose, i was there for her when she was sad. She's not been there for me because i'm always fucking upset and depressed nowadays. Where was she last night? She was the one causing it. And zaffy.)
(Yay (for more) and coolz and you've got a really good idea going here )
(My Ded:
i ded to
Derek, because he is an awesome guy and without his books i would've never met all you guys,
Gem, because you are awesome and a really nice friend
Sil, because of the same reasons above
Chloe, because of the same reasons above
and everyone on the blog because we're like one big family really, and you are all awesome,
everyone of you bring something different to the table and make blogland such a nice place and the rping is always fun so yeah to blogland and its people!
(You were trying hard to be kind, and I'm proud of you for that. Rose..was extremely inappropriate last night in my opinion. I mean she was a hypocrite herself..I hate to whine but if you're gonna complain at me about "insulting others" and "picking on the weak" maybe don't insult me because I'm weak too you know..we're all a bit fragile..none of us deserved that..)
(Hear hear)
(Just one question, i might be wrong here but with some of Zaf's comments its like she was baiting the argument (if you get my gist))
(Thank you Sil)
(Exactly, she was saying i ignored her, i had a reason for that. She had no right getting on at me for that. And she had to go and ruin my birthday which was already shit. My dad dadn't even say happy birthday to me...they have no idea what i've got going on at home right now, i'm in hell already right now...they both went too far last night... "Go to hell" "you all go fuck yourselves"...)
(Hear hear.
I'm just sorry to Kall and Lavender and clara and gar for being in the middle of that last night...we will continue with something fun when we can to bring blogland together. I still can't believe that... i did that last night so everyone could get on and have a laugh...)
(@Garr I..I hate to bitch about people..but sometimes she does seem to..say the right things to get a bad response...
@Gem Yeah no offense I don't like your (step?)dad much. They did both go too far.)
(I'm sorry for all them too..in a battle of giants the mice run and hide :/)
(Not that they're mice)
(That is going way too far.....
when will some people learn when to stop you know? )
(I mean metaphorically mice just because mice are small and cute and quite smart and innocent..)
(@Garr yeah they do.)
(I stopped. I stopped after deathy said that she was there for me. She clearly hasn't been. She's never e-mailed me once. I don't actually think either of them care that they made my birthday that bad for me...)
(Its alright guys and yup i see your point Sil (about saying the right thing for the bad response) )
(on a different note, i had an idea last night, the idea is we have a day with no RP, we just chat like the good old days )
(-hugs Chi tighter- I really am sorry it went wrong..)
(I don't like him either, Sil. He's been sleeping on the couch the last 3 or 4 nights, not talking to my mum or me, not even my brothers that much...he texted me happy birthday when he was at work, but ignored me when i came into his room and asked for the hair-dryer. He didn't acknowledge my pressence at all...)
(@Garr um that's a good idea but..I mean...I never know what to say...some people might end up Sat staring at their screens with nothing to say..)
(I like that idea Rhos...but what if someone is in the middle of a really exciting RP?)
(@Chi is this your actual dad or stepdad?)
(Stepdad...real dad left when i was 3 months old.)
(@Gem I know he did it just sounded a bit like he'd turned up on your couch and acted like a complete dick..)
(Nah, he's sleeping on the couchin the living room cause he's not speaking to my mum or any of us tbh... my mum doesn't even know why. He had left before my nana and grandad came up and i got my cake...)
That's the holes in the plan,
exciting rp's
and not knowing what to say.....)
(Well, we will try it out Rhos, we'll also try the quiz night. I'm excited for the Christmas day one. I think i know who's been naughty and nice ^.^)
(Okay...how about just one rp per person? Like I usually have multiple going on..how about one per person?)
(Also what constitutes as an exciting rp?)
(Ughhhhhh but i have 4 characters right now, i could stop a rp for a day but i couldn't choose just one)
(My other 3 characters would be jealous.
And i meant like...if it's at a climax and you can't really stop in the middle of it or that you want to keep going.)
Light bulb,
we chat and have a quiz tonight and run one rp person (that could work, depends on how people take it)
and the naughty or nice quiz, i can think of 4 people who have been nice (my biased opinion...)
Sil Gem Chloe Soph
naughty people... The answer is fairly obvious....) (not naming names)
exciting rp's, you know the ones that have a good story going you know one that people like watching,
e.g the rp you have with Soph
(Okay. So one or no rp's per people sounds fair and well try talk and laugh and quiz and ignore any and all hostile comments )
(Perfect! *nods* fingers crossed this all works out )
(Yeah fingers crossed.)
Lets start the chat shall we..?
I've seen a really cool t-short for short people, it says
I'm not short, I'm fun size
(Oh I think I've seen that before! Does any one know anywhere I can buy skulduggery merchandise?)
(I like that idea Rhos
Kall and Lavender and Clara and you have been good too ^.^)
(As have Matty and Fabi and Elleni and Duggy and Sir!)
No brackets either guys, cause there is no rp. Just us. Just our authors. NOT THE CHARACTERS so we can't hide behind our characters and blame them for something they say, when you're controling what they say.
Just us. *smiles*
I hate Admin...it's so boring... UGH i need food.
Yes of course, them too. I can only think of 1 person on the naughty list, not even 2.
(-still plans on hiding in brackets-
I DUB THIS DAY AUTHOR DAY!)
Gtg guys! i'll speak 3rd and 4th period too *grins* Have good days! ^.^
(Bye Chi!)
*has read some comments*
Guys, I think it's okay that you continue rping, just don't forget to acknowledge people sometimes.
*is here for a bit*
(LAVENDER! -snuggles-)
Also, please don't be too mad at Zaf. She gets fired up sometimes, but that's part of her personality.
I hope you can forgive her.
Hi Sil. :)
*was about to ask how she is, then remembers that I already had earlier*
Heh. :P
(@Lavender I forgive them both...but I can't promise I'll forget..especially win what Deathy said...I don't like being called a hypocrite or uncaring or just another problem.)
(Eh you can ask again! Moods change. How are you Lavender?)
Of course, that's understandable. They both got carried away. It wasn't right of them to call names, but sometimes they just have to let it out, and they forget everything else...
Then again, I don't know that much about the argument. I skimmed through it really fast. I guess it's also not my place to judge something I don't fully understand either.
Hello lav
Goodbye Gem
hear hear (to it being author day)
*sighs*
I'm okay I guess, but to be fully honest, I've not been myself the past few days. As you said, moods change, and I've been having many mood swings. When I'm here, I'm okay and I can forget certain things, but when I leave, it's like something clicks off inside and my thoughts begin to conflict...
I'm okay for now, but I don't know about later.
So, how about you?
Author day...?
Hi Rhos.
Oh, and another thing.
When I was a regular, people talked about their own lives in general. A comment about school here, what movie they're going to see there, things that have been happening during the day. Just stuff.
*coughs*
Not only that, but also stories. They would talk about their new ideas or send us to a post from their blog with the newest update.
And me, I used to have a singing blog, but I haven't made one since I left. I also deleted the videos...
By one, I meant a video.
(Leaving soon for my friends. Wbd after that because DISNEYTHON! YEAH! AND SWEETS! WHOO!)
(I'm okay thanks. Hope your real life gets better?)
Author day: its a day that has just been invented by Sil,
and i believes it to be a day where we talk as authors not characters
and thank you for the pointer, i would like to see what the blog was like in its day (pre role play)
(CAN I JUST SAY
Roleplay isn't necessarily bad..I would class myself as an rper really cause I'm bad at talking and stuff.)
Have fun, Sil! And thanks. *smiles*
@Rhos: Well, that does sound like a nice change... But only if you guys are really okay with it. I think it'll be okay for people to rp but maybe we could have both? Those who want to rp and those who'd just like to talk.
Might get a little confusing but
*shrugs*
Maybe it could work?
Sounds like you have a fun day lined up Sil ?
(Yep. Disney and sweets all day. Maybe even ice cream! Mmmm..)
Yes it could work, having both side by side, it will probably be a bit confusing at first but in theory it should work out in the end
You wanna know something my friend would do when people stopped commenting?
*smiles at the memory*
(What would your friend do when people stopped commenting?)
Fun times *smiles* Sil
Ice cream sounds really good right now!
*licks lips*
(Ice cream does sound really nice right now.
Thanks Garr. Hopefully it'll be enjoyable and I won't die from the cold outside!)
He would remind us either with a
'SILENCE'
Or he would just say
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING???
*laughs*
That definitely got people to respond!
Hey guys i'm back!
*laughs harder*
I just remembered, that used to be his name!
'Who me? I'm Nobody'
People would joke about that once in a while. It was funny.
(Hey Chi!
Ooh isn't that nix?)
Hi Chi!
*hugs*
How are you doing?
(Cooooold outside!)
*grins at Sil*
Yup!
*grin fades Into a small smile*
Have you meet him before?
Hope you stay warm!
I have to go out everyday to feed the cats who live around the building. It's sooooo cooooold! Not to mention the snow is ankle deep!
Hello Back *offers handshake* I'm Rhos (its something i picked up a few years ago, you put whatever the person said, i first learned this when i said I'm freezing and the instructor Rick said nice to meet you freezing I'm rick ) (i was at this place called hill stone park )
(I think so Lavender. Once or twice..)
*suddenly remembers*
We're not so far from the post about Val(Ivy is her character, and some call her by that name) V. and her party...
I hope she'll come on to talk then, cause last time we were there, she wouldn't stop talking about it! :P
I hope Star can come on tomorrow...
(So do I lavender..)
That's cool, Sil.
*smiles again*
How was he? Uh, if you remember, that is...
*laughs at Rhos*
I remember that! We had done that a few times, I think. Some of us...
*thinks it was Cal*
Not Kallista, but another older bloglandian, Calamity. She did funny things like that.
(He seemed okay. Bouncy and happy.)
That's good to hear. :) I'm glad he's happy.
( :)
-facepalm- I managed to just miss my stop..)
*is 11:11 in the UK*
Time for a wish!
*makes a wish*
That sucks, Sil! D:
(since when was 11:11 wish time?)
I would like to meet calamity, she sounds like a nice person
and as they say humour is the best medicine.
if people winked in real life as much as they do on texts the world would be a strange place
(totally unrelated to anything)
You going to be okay?
*is laughing really hard at the wink comment*
That was so random, oh my gosh! XD And the world would be a really strange place!
11:11 is four ones in a row. It's an American thing I guess...
(Yeah I guess so too. Wbd now.)
Okay, Sil.
I'm current;y trying to sort out my life and apply to University. But it's not going too well. 2 things to do and i'm a week late for my things to be sent away. I need help. I'll be back soon but i need to go right now to go and get some help with my personnel statement
*is STILL reading the past blog posts*
I don't know why, but- actually, I think it's because I've missed reading some of them. Anyway, there's one that DEREK posted(for some odd reason, my iPod is now autocorrectly capitalizing his name... :P) and he told us he was proud of us for being good minions and friends...
I wonder what he thinks of us now...
Alright, Chi.
*hugs*
Hope everything works out for you.
*wonders where Rhos went*
*is also wondering who else is on*
(Poor Hercules..)
Have you started watching?
Ok Chi *also hugs*
i second what Lav said.
and I'm not sure what he would think of us now lav...?
I'm still here Lav, just went distant for a short time (not intended but that's life, that's what people say, your riding high in April, shot down in May )
You know what, Rhos?
*is suddenly in a better mood*
Ignore that comment. It was just me not thinking all the way through.
*makes a silly smiley face*
*has never actually heard that saying before*
You know quiet a few, don't you? *grins*
And it's alright.
Tis okay Lav *smiles*
And yes i do (the saying i used is actually lyrics from a song)
Oh, cool!
*realizes she's forgotten something*
So, have I asked how you are yet, Rhos? Because I think I didn't.
How are you?
Thank you,
how to achieve coolness...
Step1: open the fridge
step2:sit in the fridge
step3: wait a couple of minutes
Step4: congratulations you are now cool....
And I'm good thank you, how be you lav?
*laughs*
I be cold. :P
You don't need a fridge to be cool when it's this cold outside. And it's cold inside the house too.
Sorry, now I gotta go.
Bye!
Its the time of year, its cold everywhere (especially here in Wales.... )
Goodbye Lav
To quote Nix:
SILENCE!
I feel poetic:
Silence has descended on blogland
its like a blanket of snow
its everywhere
but silence like snow is enjoyable
it gives one, time to think.
How have I only just discovered Nightvale...
IT IS BRILLIANT OHMYGOSH :D
What is nightvale, fay?
and how be you?
Happy Friday, people of Bloglandia!
Happy Friday Tia
Just saw your new profile pic ^.^
I chose it last night everyone did a quiz to see which Pokémon we were and once we found out which one were we changed our profile pic to the one we got so mine is houndoom
(Hello.)
According to the Internet, my steampunk name is Doctor Annalise Greyson.
Heh.
(I have no idea what steampunk is.)
( Hey Soph)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her tightly*)
@Sophia: Steampunk- A genre of science fiction that typically features steam powered machinery rather than advanced technology.
*nods*
*will be distant/ghosting*
*saying that kind of defeats the purpose of ghosting, but whatever :P*
(-hugs back- rp? It might be author day but I got is rights to continue our rp.)
(I see, Phoe. Those are the corsets and goggles, right?
Yes, Silente. We can roleplay. What, exactly, is author day?)
(That's steam punk clothing Soph steam punk can be more than that..
Author day is a day where we talk amongst ourselves and try rp less.)
I wasn't talking about killing her Lil.
-sighs-
Should we expect another attack today?
(I rather think you would have to kill me in order to ever get me in a corset. *shudders*
I never agreed to such a thing. And it is not like this is a large roleplay which will distract people.)
Liliana: Of course you should. Though this time, if I know my mother, she will be sending an army. Archeos may send some of his soldiers, too. May I suggest my castle as a potential place to lead them to?
(I rather want a corset in all honesty. I hope to buy one one day.)
Yeyy just what we need
-groans and covers her eyes with an arm-
I think I would look rather dashing in a corset. As you are probably already aware, steampunk is one of my great passions in life.
Also, greetings. How is everyone today?
(Good day Clara. I apologize for any distress that may have been caused last night.)
Please do not apologize. You were not at fault.
*lays hand on Silente's head*
*Yoda voice* Your fault, it was not.
(I would look an idiot in a corset.)
Liliana: Of course. May I point out that whilst Minerve's soldiers are mindless drones, the ones Archeos has are actual people. I will deal with these. Bethany and you should be dealing with Minerve's army. Use my castle to your advantage. You have only seen the ground floor, have you not?
I'm sure you wouldn't, Sophia. Corsets are meant to be worn underneath one's clothes, after all.
11:11 again!
*makes a wish*
*is also sorry*
Not coming on quiet yet. Just had to say that, sorry.
Heh...
Greetings, Lavender! Did you wish for a stunningly attractive hotel manager? Because your wish just got granted.
*tries to leap into Lavender's arms*
*flops on the ground*
Ouch.
(-smiles- okay Clara.
@Soph you don't need a corset, it's fine.)
I've seen the cellar too.
Wait... Is it quiet or quite?
*believes it to actually be the second one*
Oops.
Be back in 20! Possibly!
Did I even spell that one right?
*poofs because she has to go*
Kallista! I am well. Are you?
(-huggles Kassie- hey!)
*sudden realization*
I thought I was done making avatars for all my Blogland friends, but it occurs to me that I missed you, Kallista!
Would you be willing to give me a description of your character and their weapons/magical discipline?
*raises hand*
I'll buy you a corset Sil! :)
*nods*
