You may have noticed me being pretty quiet over the last week or so, and for this I have a very good reason. I am writing a book. I'm over 115,000 words in but DEAR LORD I'm at that stage when I don't know if it'll EVER be finished. I'm supposed to be filling in the blanks right now- linking up scenes and sequences and getting the chapters in order and writing any little bits that I've left empty. But I'm still no closer to the end. How can this BE?
But before I get back to work, I have been asked to remind you all that my event at the Stratford Picture House on April 5th is the only public event I'll be doing for The Maleficent Seven. For those of you who don't know what a public event IS, it's basically me on stage yapping and answering questions for an hour, and then we go on to have a signing. All other appearances for TMS are just signings.
I've been asked to remind you about this because apparently there are lots of tickets available. Well, I'm ASSUMING there are lots of tickets available. The words used were "it's been slow to book", which means roughly the same thing. Maybe it's because it's the Easter holidays or it's the start of a weekend, but usually events pretty much sell out in a very short space of time. So Harper Collins publicity people are all going "uhhh... what's happening?"
Oh, and for those of you who have already booked tickets, don't you fret. If it IS a smaller crowd than usual, it just means the event will be more of a casual chat between all of us. And also you won't have to wait in line for hours.
But, uh, for all you others... book a ticket. Or something.
I'm getting back to work now. But before I do, two pictures of cats.
One cute.
One scary.

I haven't even seen it I just now what kind of happens in it.
Yes... Yes... And Ian proposed to me and then got stabbed in the back by that damned guy Kane Slit...
NOOOO!
Eden - http://www.solarmovie.so/link/play/1030967/
Cool profile pic Dwyer.
*Sighs and closes eyes*
I can't unless I am in a hell load of pain...
Lucky, Death. - stabs through back with shadow sword -
Hello all.
*Grins*
*Looks at Niccolo*
Hello. Wasn't I wondering yesterday how... Fun, it would be to go up against you?
Oh, here we go...
*walks back inside Chester and activates the perimeter shields and defensive systems*
*walks into the kitchen and makes a hot chocolate*
- smiles at Judi -
How are you, Judi, my little gem. Who is the one that turns into, or brings Niccolo? Like you said, people say I don't want to fight Niccolo. So now I do.
Does it start with the lad getting ou to the bath?
Zath.
Ah, she's already here.
Zath may I join you in there to prevent any bodily harm towards myself.
Sorry, Eden, I can't let you in.
Sparky told me only people with a key can come in. And I'm the only other person with a key, as far as I know.
- runs fast at Eden, tackling him and bringing down shadow dagger to throat -
*Laughs happily*
Oh, Dwyer, I am amazing. And how are you, my dear?
I am not bringing Death back. I enjoy this way to much.
*Walks towards Niccolo*
*Grins*
*rolls eyes* This is why I've spent so many centuries avoiding people. Now you all want to fight me- and to be honest, I'm really not in the mood.
You are amazing, Judi. You are.
*Stops the dagger*
We do not hurt Eden. Rule 1. No pain comes to Eden.
I know it is fun but there was a time at the Ball that Death will never forget. He stays alive.
Really Dwyer you want to mess with me.
*Teleports into the air and taps glowing sigils on my arms.
And smile as barriers of light form around them *
Oh dear
*smiles*
On Twitter we changed our pics to match Derek and our names to Derek Landy
Easy enough to act like him just think of your ego ( yup April 20th im gonna hear it)
- let's dagger dissipate into the air -
Fine.
*Laughs*
Of course I am amazing! I am me.
*Makes puppy dog face at Niccolo*
Why does everyone ruin my fun?
Judihpoor, what is your relationship with Death?
*Flies up to Eden*
Now that is very unnecessary! You could hurt someone!
*Laughs*
*Teleports behind Dwyer and stab him with my rapier and smile as I see it poke out his stomach.
Eden. I'm not a normal sorcerer. I'm much, much higher than you, you pathetic mongrel. Try as you will, but you will not harm me.
Nicole I know I have heard Croatoan before is it perhaps some Native American tribe or something like that.
I'm not here for anyone's entertainment, and I really don't care about whether or not it ruins your fun.
- sends lightning through sword and electrifies Eden -
I am Death's dark side. Her bad memories, her fear, her anguish and agony she has been through. I come out only when I am needed.
Oh, I better fix my back!
*Traces fingers along back and skin closes up*
Much better.
*niccolo
Sorry auto correct.
Where is Jubi... I want to play Throw minion as far as possible again!
*wraps arms around Dwyer and taps sigils on shoulders and squezze until I hear bones breaking.
Judi, you accidentally added an extra 'o' in your name...
Ah, damn auto-correct.
*Starts flipping through the air*
Ah, it would seem so...
I was just in the double 'o' kind of mood!
*teleports away then teleports back with a moving bus then watches as it hurtles into Dwyer. *
- smashes head back in to Eden's face, cracking his skull -
- heals bones -
You cannot hurt me, you petty creature. - forms revolver out of shadows and aims at knee and shoots -
Oh, how I would love to kill you... but if Death cares for your pathetic life, then so be it.
*sighs* I'm going to have to explain my last name now, aren't I? Fine. It comes from one of the first colonies to exist in America. People were sent to settle and they built houses and farms and seemed to be doing fine- but one day, everyone living there suddenly disappeared. The only clue as to what might have happened to them was a single word carved into a tree at the center of the settlement; Croatoan.
*sits in corner*
I know my true name
*Sighs*
She is my sister, of sorts. I have to obey her. She said not to kill, at least.
*Grins happily*
- bus disintegrates in to shadows, and dissipates into air -
I know the story
Is it sealed, Zafira?
Oh Niccolo. Is that why you are so mysterious? You killed all of those poor, defenseless humans and you don't want anyone to know. Your girlfriend, for one. What would she think?
Of course you do Justaria.
Oh yes I remember now the English colony in the reign of Elizabeth the first on ransacked island.
*Ranoake.
Auto correct you villain.
Come out Dwyer.
Yes ahem I didnt tell Derek my OC's true name
Its Justaria
*Throws a mock-punch at Dwyer's stomach*
I am a mind reader Miss. Kerias.
Oh, sorry. I'm back.
Judi, is his true name sealed?
I thought you abandoned me. Me, to fight off all these petty sorcerers.
I'm gonna kill you.
Who's?
M-mind reader? The only people I know who do that are like Finbar Wrong
Zafira's.
Hush now, Eden.
*Steps in front of Dwyer*
Gotta go through me first.
I have a question for you all.
How many of the people here know their True Name?
I was joking about the mind reading!
Miss. Kerias, is it sealed?
Justaria, take your shoe off.
Oh, that's not why I'm so mysterious. I'm not even saying I did it. But regardless of whether or not I did, I've already killed more than enough people to make her hate me. She still doesn't. I can't fathom why. And most importantly, she's not my girlfriend. Never will be.
I don't. I want to. But I don't.
I did at one stage but I scrapped it because I could have come up with a better one so I don't know mine at the moment.
*raises hand*
But it isnt like Valkyrie at all I learned to control it because I had my Surge before I knew it I found out a few years after becoming an Elder
Uh, well, Zath, I'm not apart of the SP universe, but if I was, my True name is Trelaque.
It's sealed I took a trip to Ireland and met Doctor Nye
Okay time out I don't know what most people are talking about. ( mostly Death, Dwyer and Nicholo ) so could someone explain.
Niccolo, oh Niccolo. You love her. You said so. You and her, together forever. Ying and Yang. One murder, one life saver.
Eden, I told you to hush.
I am talking about you having to go through me to get to Dwyer, Niccolo's girlfriend: Aretha Tesla, and anything that I want to.
I have three younger brothers I think I know when someone is patronising me and I don't like it.
Okay.
Well, I bet you're still the most juvenile out of all of them.
*sits and watches*
I love watching Blog fights even though as an Elder I should break them up! Ah well
No- she'll find someone much better. the last thing she needs is me dragging her down. And I do love her, but that doesn't mean she feel the same way about me. And she never could.
I have a little brother, an older brother and two older sisters. All of whom, yell at me. I am used to that certain feeling.
Oh now you're trying to get me angry.
Come at me, Mr. Eden Hulk.
Did you see her when you said that? I experienced it through Death, she was "oh my gosh-ing".
*Throws rose petals around Niccolo*
*Sings Do Wah Diddy Diddy Dum*
* takes a deep breath walks away,
Hen teleports behind Dwyer and boxes him in the back of the head. *
Eden Dwyer enough!
You two do have to obey me as an Elder I dont care what country you are from
*Giggles at Dwyer's comments*
*then *
Sorry Zaf he insulted my honour.
And he's gonna pay for it.
Zaf, how did you learn your True Name?
Eden back down it isnt worth it you're doing what he wants do not give in
Oh, wow. How very cute, Eden. You're being the big boy who walks away from the fight. I bet your mummy would be proud.
*Walks to Zaf*
*Duct-tapes hands together and mouth shut*
There is already a warrant for my arrest in several countries.
Oh now you're going to get it no one talks about my family let alone my mother.
Zafira Kerias. You have no authority over me, for I am not apart of your world.
A lot of research Zath and I got a Sensitive to help me
Fair enough, Zaf.
I was just wondering. I hate it when people know their True Name but don't have a way to justify how they know it.
*raises an eyebrow*
Judi, you just assaulted...
Wait. Would that be assault?
Oh, whatever, assault will work.
Judi, you just assaulted an Elder Mage. Considering I work for the Sanctuary, I'm kind of going to have to arrest you now.
- mimics in childish voice -
''Oh now you're going to get it no one talks about my family let alone my mother.''
Dwyer before I pummel your face into the ground and break every bone in your body may I ask what country your from so I know where to send your mutilated remains.
*gets hands free and rips tape off mouth*
I don't bloody care! You're a mortal then arent you? I work to protect mortals from sorcerers who may kill them so if I were you I'd be thankful because Mr. Threatening can easily kill you faster then you can say eep
*Grins at Zath*
If you can catch me!!
*Flies up in the air*
Death wont like this... She'll get angry at me for this...
Rule 1. is now terminated
Zafira, you certainly are oblivious. I am not a normal sorcerer. I am the insanity that was once Stephen Clarke, who is now John Nexus. I am much, much higher than you and Mr. Eden.
*shrugs*
Grand Mage Bisilhalani may never know what I do tonight
*glares at Judi*
Watch it assulted an Elder Mage can easily get you killed
And I am his partner Miss Kerias.
What is Rule 1?
And I am pretty sure I can find someone to bring me back.
*looks confused*
Who? You arent known to any of us in America
Cut the from a different world crap everyone can be killed and your sad excuse for a life is going to be ended by me.
Dwyer, Zafira can have whole countries coming after you in a matter of hours.
I daresay she's a bit more "higher" - as you put it - than you are.
Once again, not from this realm...
I tell you ill be higher than you when I'm standing over your corpse but not before I make you eat your words.
Rule 1. No pain comes to Eden.
Now it is:
Rule 1. Free for all.
Your rule 'number one's never turn out well do they?
Well, you people are certainly feeling violent tonight. Any particular reason, or does this just happen sometimes? I'm still new to this place, but all I've seen so far is people acting insanely excited and then attempting to be helpful.
Exactly Grand Mage Bisilhalani is on the Surpreme Council one word from me and England and Germany along with America can go after you
Dwyer, your explanation is still flawed. Firstly, a perfectly normal 18 year old doesn't go on a two year killing spree because his girlfriend was murdered.
Secondly, being insane and a murderer, does NOT grant you a huge supply of magical power.
And, Zathract, have you forgotten that the Irish Sanctuary is a bit... out casted by the rest of the world?
Interesting. Zaf, if you need any backup, let me know. I'm somewhat rubbish at fighting, and I'm trying to write, and it looks like you already have help, but if you need a bit more, let me know. If not, I am distant and writing, popping back in occasionally because this is entertaining.
I will always be higher than you. I can fly!
Niccolo, this is just a friendly fight. Real arguments rarely happen here.
Uhm sometimes we do have Blogfights
Oh, all of them worked rather flawlessly before I came in contact with Aretha. Since then I've broken quite a few... *shrugs* Oh well. Not like it really matters, anyway.
*facepalm*
Zafira is an Elder on the American Sanctuary, Dylan.
Yeah, Zathract, shut up... I made the explanation off the top of my head. I will fix it.
I have no clue about any of these people's back stories,
All I cae about is ending his future.
Good, do so.
Niccolo, this happened yesterday aswell.
Eden in Last Stand of Dead Men you'll meet my OC
If he is from the American sanctuary, then I would imagine he is very fluent in eating hamburgers and watching television.
*Stands in front of Dywer*
Through me first.
Now, everyone stop interfering, and eat some popcorn. Eden is about to 'end my life'
Judi, this isn't your fight.
Zafira is a GIRL, Dylan.
And that's incredibly racist.
And yeah! Zaf, Ivy, Flame and me are all in Book 8!
I know isn't that cool I'm in it too.
For your information I am not American I am Irish and where I come from if someone has insulted you it's not over until your standing over them with there blood on your fists and a broken bottle in your hand.
Once he has gone through me.
I'm a SHE
*has shadows in hands*
NOBODY insults my country NOBODY!
*growls*
Someone stop me from killing him
It is my fight. We are partners.
Don't look at me I'll help beat his arse to nothing.
Okay, then she is twice as good at watching television, and twice as good at eating hamburgers, because America, according to they themselves, is twice as better than any other country.
Dylan, just so you know, you're getting to the point where people are beginning to get genuinely annoyed at you again.
Kay, that's it. No one insults Americans without me getting mad at them. Also Zaf's a she.
Dwyer, you are an impertinent maggot-minded fustilarian.
Congratulations, those of you who are in book 8.
Yeah, and THAT'S a huge stereotype as well as racist.
Stop it.
*Looks at Dwyer*
Enough with the insults. Now. Or I will help Eden kick your arse from here to Kingdom come.
Dwyer, shut up.
*takes a deep breathe and slowly counts to 10*
Oh, wow. Fine, then.
Zaf here you go, take your pick * holds out a selection of a baseball bat or a hockey stick *
*takes out hurl for self*
Or so so your Dylan
*Grabs key for the Hollow Men army*
Follow me Eden's minions!
*Takes them to Eden*
That makes a lot of sense now.
Zath, congrats on getting in the book! How did you do it? Was there another competition I missed out on
That's it!!!
And Eden I dont need a weapon I control Justaria and with her I AM the weapon
*closes eyes again and lets Justaria out*
No competition, Dylan.
We all just talk to Derek a lot.
What was the deleted comment.
*raises an eyebrow*
People delete comments because they don't want them seen. What kind of person would talk about a deleted comment?
Congrats to everyone who got in the book. I'm sure you are well-deservant... if that's a word.
*looks at Dwyer*
Zafira said you pissed her off she said I can kill you!
True.
I would like and apology.
I hate auto correct.
Okay. I am leaving. This has turned upside down before I knew.
Bye.
*Vanishes*
Eden, you want an apology from me?
Eden, Dylan didn't actually insult you. He doesn't have a reason to apologize to you.
Bye Death.
Oh *waits
JUDI! COME BACK.
Well, never mind...
Bye Death. :/
Wooh.
*smashes hurl into the side of dwyers face*ill take that instead of an apology.
Oh joy, things are about to get messy, aren't they? Well, I suppose I'll watch. This might be amusing. Also, for the record, Aretha works for the American Sanctuary and does a Hell of a lot more than watch TV- actually, she barely watches any TV at all- but neither of us care when insulted by others, so I still feel no compulsion to join in this lunacy.
- face remains quite intact and unscathed -
Oh I barely am HOME i work my arse off in the Sanctuary I barely see Javier
I ded to everyone who got into book eight what a crazy book it shall be with all the characters, to the diversity of everyone on Blogland and Zaths hunger games competition however slim a chance I have of winning.
Oh, Justaria is gone, I suppose.
No I just came back to say: If I kill you...
*sends a tornado of shadow knives directly into Dwyer's chest and head*
...
- absorbs with shadow shield -
And that children, is what we call "overpowered".
*shrugs and has shadow knives around fist and punches back of head*
Zaf if your still there I'd like to see him without any magic.
STFU, Zath.
Yeah, no.
- heals back of head and shoves shadow knife into face -
I know isn't it, it's his reply to everything you throw at him.
See points to comment directly above.
*laughs and heals self*
Ever meet Mevolent? I did! Zaffy lemme take this thingy
*holds up god-killer*
Mevvy was sleeping!
*runs at and stabs you in head with god-killer* (you DO know what it does?
Uh, no. I'm not going to fight you if you say you got a weapon that can destroy potentially anything, merely because ' Mevvy was sleeping '
*Slaps Dwyer across the face*
BE NICE!! I BLOODY PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!! I DON'T NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU SWEARING AT MY FRIENDS!!!!!!
*Screams in anger*
I AM GONNA BE BLOODY FUMING FOR HOURS NOW!!!
Here's the crazy Zaf.
You can tell he's gonna get beaten silly as soon as Zaf
starts talking like that.
*walks up and tries to squezze Dwyer to death. *
Oh, yeah. *laughs*
Because it isn't like your entire character isn't flawed in practically every way yet still somehow incredibly overpowered to the point where you can godmod over anything.
Sure.
I mean, why NOT just dismiss that whole point when one person decides to shut you up with the addition of humour?
ZATH, I DON'T CARE IF I WAS JUST DEFENDING YOU; I AM IN SUCH A RAGE RIGHT NOW.
BE BLOODY NICE TO EACH OTHER!!!!
Exactly.
*still squeezing Dwyer to Death. *
Judi, THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS, OR MY FRIENDS. THEY ARE DEATHS AND JOHNS. YOU ARE NOT DEATH! YOU ARE JUDHIPOR. DEATH DOES NOT CONTROL YOU.
ALL OF YOU!!!!!
*rolls eyes*
I'm leaving now.
Bye.
*squzzes Dwyer harder hoping to break his ribcage*
NO, THIS IS DANNIELLE. THE PERSON BEHIND DEATH AND JUDIHPOR! I AM SO-
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Judi, I will let John back, and stop this destruction, but only if you let Death back.
