And the title of Book Eight IS...
Actually hold on, we'll get to that in a moment. I have another 15 minutes before I have to post this entry, at 9 PM, and I'm going to use that 15 minutes, dammit. Because I did things today! Things that deserve to be blogged about!
Well, I did ONE thing that deserves to be blogged about. This afternoon I interviewed Steven Moffat, head of all things Doctor Who and Sherlock, on stage at Trinity College, Dublin. I'm pretty sure it wasn't recorded, though, so you're just going to have to take my word for how brilliantly it went. I've never interviewed anyone before— I'm used to being the one interviewed— so it was very interesting to sit in the other chair for a change.
Mr Moffat turned out to be everything I'd hoped he would be— he's a nice guy and he's FUNNY. It was such an informal, casual conversation that it made asking him questions a breeze. I love the shows he makes, as did everyone there, and it was so cool to be able to talk to him about them and not feel like a total nerd.
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I DID ask him for Karen Gillan's phone number. NO, he did not give it to me. But I think I broke him down sufficiently that all it'll take is one more chance encounter, and then wa-heyyyyy!
Ahem.
Okay, I now have seven minutes until I have to post this entry.
Oh, I'll be doing two publicity events in Ireland on March the 7th. At 10:30 AM in the Riverbank Theatre in Kildare I'll be interviewing (because I do it SO well) Alex Barclay on stage about her new book Curse of Kings.
Later that day, back in Easons in O'Connell Street at 6 PM, Alex and I will be doing... er... some sort of event. We haven't a clue WHAT we'll be doing, to be honest, but it'll be brilliant, and it'll be funny. I swear. Probably.
At both events, we'll be signing whatever you want signed.
Two minutes!
Okay then, here we go. This title has been in my head for years. EVERYTHING in the series has been leading up to Books Eight and Nine, and this is really where it all starts to build to the (hopefully epic) conclusion.
Prepare yourself for horror! Tragedy! Hilarity! Fights! Blood! Quips! Magic! Everything that makes life worth living!
Ladies and gentlemen, coming at the very end of August, I give you
Skulduggery Pleasant: Last Stand of Dead Men.

Hi again...ish.
Alright, I'm off to bed.
I only got about 4/5 hours sleep last night because DEREK YOU MADE ME GET UP AROUND 5AM FOR THE TITLE RELEASE.
Ahem.
ANYWAYS, night!!
*poofs*
Are you OK Fabi?
My super-awesome MC chapter, part II!
The post I wrote it on is completely blank!
Ugh, I'm so careless...
Bye Cain!!
I'm fine, just getting overexcited. And mad.
Night, Missy!
FABI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
...what's wrong..??
Are you on Fanfiction Fabi?
Hi Jubi, my chapter for the MC, the second part of my super-awesome plot idea... It's not there...
And for you new people, the MC is mevolentminions.blogspot.com
Oh...
That sucks...
I don't really know what happened with me and MC.... Lav was supposed to write another chapter, but she never really got around to it... so Saph and I are just stranded in the woods :P
And it's awesome, except for most of the parts I wrote! XD
Lav can't be here, and Saph says she's out of ideas. That's what they each told me, anyway.
Unless I got mixed up somehow.
And Fabi isn't on Fanfiction.
Yeah...
I don't think that we're really gonna continue with it because it's been too long and a bunch of things have happened and stuff... And I haven't really been keeping up xP
I think it's official...no one here apert from me is on Fanfic
Yeah.... sorry
I'm not on it either..
I'm being distracted too easily......
WHY!!! does anyone read it then?
erm...... sometimes..
What's this 'bout Fanfiction?
Never mind...
I'm asking if anyone here is on Fanfic
Sapphire Iota and September Silver are on Fanfiction... I think. I don't know if they have the same names, though.
And Tyler, you have been on before yesterday as other names, correct? Or am I getting you mixed up with someone else?
On Fanfic or writes it?
Writes on it
No Fabi, I like to change my name but I'm gonna keep this name for a while
Oh then count me as one of those people, I have a lot of fanfics on my Word...so many
What's your username?...I'll look for one of your fanfics
Ah, okay.
My username? On what (Sorry but I haven't a clue what's going on)
Neither have I...you have confused my, never mind...
It's okay
I know exactly what's going on.
Fanfiction the website for fan fiction the genre.
Hope that makes things clearer!
Fabi
And sorry bout confusing you
OH!!!!!
CHOO CHOO CHOO make savings with the trainline. Damn, those people should pay me for all the free advertising I do.
Anyway, hellooooo!
HIYA LENI
It's fine.Really. (I need to pay more attention)
Hi Len. Who are you?
Helloooooo, Ieni!
Who's len.
Hey, Tyler and Lewis. I do not believe we've met before!
Ah, I'm no one. *fades in to the backround*
Hey, Fabiiiii!!!!! *ninjaeropplanetacklehugs*
Locking my siblings out of the house is so amusing XD
Len? That's my Dad's nickname as well as Smithy
Well Leni, we have, I just changed my name
Really Tyler??
Ieni (with a capital i) is a regular Bloglandian and a Ninja Aeroplane. She is the founder of the Ninja Aeroplane Corporation (it was a corporation, right, or was it something else?). In other words, Ieni is Ieni.
And I post my fanfics on dA just to let you know
@Lewis *Nods*
[is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged]
How're you?
Very well put, Fabi! *nods* You may get an certificate of awesomeness! What would you like on it?
Who are you Tyler...?
I'm good danke Fabi! My parents have been out all day so epic laziness has been happening *grins* You?
mortal coil remains my favourite title, but this is good. oh god, cannot wait
Ah, I'm good, thanks Ieni. I can still stand after last night! And chocolate, please. When in doubt, chocolate.
[Tosses chocolate to everyone]
CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooooh, what happened last night? Yay, chocolate on the thingy...
If I make it, can I email it? (Yes I'm actually going to do it).
OMG CHOCOLATE! NOMNOMNOMNOM
chocolate is better than daylight!!
And I'm not a chocoholic
Email is fine. You do have my email, right?
And last night, I had three hours of ballet (and pre-pointe!) and we had to repeat a lot of combinations because most of the class was being lazy. I, however, was not being lazy, so by the end of class, my left leg was literally shaking, and I was sore all over.
JUBI <3 CHOCOLATE!
I've got to go now. BYE EVERYONE!!
aww
BY LEWIS!!!!!!!!
Bye, Lewis!
[tosses Jubi another piece of chocolate]
Yaaaah, Ieni does:) That sounds...postively evil. I used to do ballet, but I gave up because I was so bad XD
Hey, Jubi! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
Bye, Lewis! *waves*
What colour would you like your name in, Fabi? And what types of chocolate would you like on there?

Unless it's Little Mix. *nods*
Mischief, I did... And if you said that to me before I answered, I wouldn't have appreciated it. And you'd get so many comebacks your head would've been spinning. Just a warning. :)

Excuse me Shadow, but did you just say 'Fabi is here too thank God'? Fabigail is perfection and everyone is happy when she's here, but if you don't like me, say it to me please. Don't be a wimp and make hints about it. I don't take it kindly.

The draft was empty when I got there... I may have messed up somewhere when I was saving it, or somebody may have stolen it, one of the two. I doubt the latter, though.
What are some Little Mix song names? And yeah, Perriefect.
Everyone has to refresh, Mischief. It's ok to be slow to comment.
hello...
I always talk about 1D. Doesn't mean you have to join in :P Nobody usually does. IT'S A SAD WORLD, BEING THE ONLY DIRECTIONER IN THIS FANDOM.

I think that's their whole album... *laughs*
Mischief, please stop wasting blog space. Please. You commenting 24/7 is wasting up all our space for important comments. Don't say 'blurgg' and such. It wastes the blog space.
Bye Mischief. *waves*
Wb Ieni! :)
\g2g bye :)
Hi/bye whoevere said hello/went.
Cue my crazy dancing. Damn, got to do the washing up D: Should be back on later.
Bye Flame, Mischief, Ieni.
Bye Flame and Ieni! :( *hugs*
Hmm. Well, I can't say Little Mix is my favorite or anything, but they're not bad.
BAAAAAAACK.
Little Mix are okay, I guess. They aren't going to stand the time test, but merp.
Welcome back, Ieni.
It'll be interesting to see what's still around and how much music has changed by the time we're grown up...
I gotta go bye everyone
*Grins waves bye*
Bye, Tyler!
Wbd, writing.
Little Mix are amaZayn :)
Byebye Tyler! *waves*
I'd imagine by the time I'm 40 or so I'll be listening to Classical Music. I already listen to contempory Classical, like Einauldi, but I mostly listen to stuff from the last 5 years.
Yes, Fabi - you wbd writing - your ded.
