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.

Well, I did travel for 27 hours to get here... I figured I could take up time.
About halfway through we came back and bought Derek a milkshake. And we all went back to see Derek again at the end, too. He looked scared.
HEY NIX!:D
Calling me names will get you nowhere, just for the record.
Judi, are you watching?
I HAVE PINS AND NEEDLES IN MY LEFT LEG >_<

Why is your name Bengt now and other days its john and other days its Dylan
Oh, I'm still John/Dwyer, but I'm now a hippy beach ball. Nothing much has changed... kind of.
- floats over and then bounces into Brave's face continuously -
Boing... going... boing
*rolls eyes and walks back into Chester again*
*takes the lift down to the bowling alley and sits on the ground behind the shoe rentals*
Ugh, so tired...
Apparently, Harper Collins are going into administration *nods*
Uh, well, my main person is John, and its not Dylan, it was when I first came on, though, its Dwyer, who is like my true name, and I am now a hippy because so is Death.
*walks up to shoe rentals*
Hullo? I'd like to rent some shoes for bowliiiiing.
HEY IENI!! *waves*
- turns into lifeless ball and rolls through Chesters shield -
Lifeless balls don't need a key. c:
GUYS LETS GO BOWLING. C:
YOU ARE DWYER ASWELL!!
OK WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME AGAIN PUT BRACKETS BESIDE IT SAYING (Beachball)
Sure.
OH MY GOLDEN GOD
*cries*
*laughs*
*screams*
*giggles*
I JUST CAN'T
- floats over to Lucy and bounces on her face -
What.
*starts giggling with L*
I have no idea why I'm even giggling... XD
Yes they do.
*activates the protective shield and has it push Dylan out*
this fandom
omg
twitter
i can't
just
omgg
*laughs*
... I'm just a beach ball. Can I come play bowling with yoooou?
- farts on Lucy and stops bouncing -
...whoops.
No.
Now shush, I'm trying to read Skuttlebuggia.
Ok I'm back.
- goes through shield and keeps farting on Zath -
If I keep farting like this, I'll start sharting. I had Mexican food, as well. Starting is when poop starts flying out, as well as the farts.
* sharting
I'm just going to pretend you all stopped commenting because you saw my beauty---
Ooh, here comes the sharts...
WHO WANTS TO DO A COLLAB!
*noms head of chocolate bunny*
I can't believe I haven't eaten all my chocolate yet.
Oh for f*cks sake.
I'm leaving.
Zath, your hair is covered in poo...
Please dont "shart" on me
No! Zath I'm sarry!!! Come back!
...
Mist Calm down
If you're lucky, Brave. If you're lucky.
John, stop sharting on people.
No one wants to know what sharting is
... can I shart on a kitten?
No shant.
*Can't
It's disgusting.
So shut up about Sharting
Dylan, sweetheart, either stop being vile and irritating or stop commenting.
You're being incredibly obnoxious, and none of us like that. It's seriously annoying.
I don't care if you're older than me, or if that's how you normally act.
We don't act in such a vile and inconsiderate manner when in Blogland. Blogland is supposed to be a Pleasant place, where we can all have fun.
I'm not just speaking for myself, here, I'm speaking for a few people.
If you don't like what I have to say, then get lost. I don't especially care. Just stop irritating everyone >_<
... I probably shouldn't tell you what sharkaHVBIURRHVIURTFHIUTFHIUFRFHIURFVHUYRFVBIURFVBUHRFVUHBRFVHBURFVIHNRFVIHNFRIRRHFIUing is, then...
Thank you Luci.
I'm reading bits of skuttlebugia.
I like your style of writing.
- spreads flowers and baby Cthulus around -
Better?
Skuttlebuggia ain't great...
I really don't like it... *Laughs* I'm only writing it still to try to finish a story for once. :)
Its very creative.
Bengt, Don't be silly. Flowers don't help.
OKAY I CAN'T APRIL FOOLS BUT GIVE ME MATHS FOR TRYING OKAY?
*marks nooo
and i think thats disrespectful to Luciana.
What will help? Should I bounce on your face?
Fine, then.
- floats through chester, and goes down to bowling alley -
Wheeee...
- stops floating and rolls down bowling road thing and knocks down pins -
Yaayyy...
UGHHHH
BENGT YOUR RALLY ANNOYING ME NOW!
Whyyyy?
BOUNCING ON MY FACE?
UGH
You are being disrespectful to what Luciana said to you.
You like the word UGH.
Me? How?
Brave, my dear, don't lower yourself to his level. Just ignore him, I'd hate for you to get any more annoyed by him being so irritating.
It's such a shame that people in Blogland still fail to see things through another's eyes. Though, there'll always be someone like that, won't there?
*smiles* Just talk to me. I'm a tad odd, but at least I'm not normal.
Okay, there's tension in here
Oh, wow, Lucy. Mean-mode activate. I was trying to be a happy hippy beach ball but you don't like that, so now I'll just be John, the guy who likes ripping peoples arms off.
I agree with Nix.
*hangs upside down in a tree*
ONLY 46 MINUTES OR SO
Heyo I'm back.
(._. )
VAL TELL DEREK I SAID "HI AND COME TO CONNAGHT"
PLEASE
You're back? Yay. :|
PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
Val, you are one lucky girl.
Luckyyyyyyy.
Val's not here... she left ages ago.
So. Luci. Will you do a collab with me
You mean 4 minutes ago?
Val... *grins* Do me a favour?
Tell Derek that Luciana says go to Sheffield in September for a signing, please? I'd love you even more if you did:3
Nix! *smiles* There's almost always tension, it's Blogland. We're like a family, but not everyone in a family gets along all the time. So, it's to be expected that there'll be tension.
Hello, Cain! *hugs* How are you doing, my dear?:)
- walks into forest, hoping no one can see me -
- sits down, and meditates, waiting to sense the blood of an animal -
- feels several insects -
Hello happy Arpil Fools day.
Msd
- whispers -
Come on, something more...
- senses a deer and strikes hand in its direction, holding it there by controlling its blood -
Sorry, Bambi...
- smiles, almost evilly -
- uses other hand, and brings them in opposite directions, causing the deer to split itself I'm half -
Perfect! I've perfected it! - walks into blog land, not knowing I'm covered in blood -
I think i Might Die of boredom
- feels blood, and quickly swipes hand to get it off -
I have just taken drugs to knock me out... Yay...
John, if I turn back to normal Judihpor, will you chillax?
I was here already, L. Remember?
I was in hiding... *shifty eyes* *noms chocolate*
- senses bird flying through the sky -
- strikes hand in its direction, and it falls next to Lucy -
Oh, it doesn't bother me Judi... I was a hippy beach ball who would float, and bounce on your face, and summon cute fluffy animals, but NOOO. HE WAS TOO IRRITATING. So I'm back to normal, I guess, but I would also prefer the other Judi...
I'll just make another list to give to Derek of things you guys say.
Why her? Not me?
Can you say to him that "My head is not a TARDIS, it is a shrine for you!" then say that I am laughing as he reads it? Please?
You disappeared, Cain, I'm not stupid. *laughs slightly*
What sort of collab, Brave? You've got to remember, I'm incredibly busy, being in my final year, and all. Though for you, my dear, I can try to make time.
I'd do anything for a friend, after all. *smiles*
So tell him I said "COME TO CONNAGHT DEREK! YOU HAVE NEVER MET ME AND I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS WHO LOVE YOU. PLEASE COME TO CONNAGHT"
Because she was the kind of girl who would kill without regret, and do anything she wanted. She's the best Judi. The Judi that Dwyer needs to help to bring harm to Niccolo, when the time comes.
Val, can you say to Derek that Miss Cain says hi, and that I'm watching you?
And that I'm part ninja. And part stalker. And Aussie.
Then see if he puts it all together...
A fanfic one, Luci.
*grins* Val, you're amazing.
I just want you to ask him to visit Sheffield for me in September or something, if that's possible. And I promise there'll be lots of Skittles, *laughs*
Disappeared? Me?
...Yeah. That'd be right. XD
Drugs... Knocking me out...
*Collapses on the floor heavily and starts snoring*
What sort of fanfic, my dear? And in what person? I'm not so good at third person, you see. I don't remember the last time I wrote in third person... *laughs*
Cain, my dear Golden God, I love you. You're incredible. Let's hope September will play out how we wish for it to. :)
Darn my internet
Chances are that I won't be here in a minute... Again. The one night I make an effort to be here in ages and my internet keeps going off
You're getting to meet him again Val? You're so lucky.
Derek Landy is kidnapped Ulcabhán and a few more blogminions must find him. Who is the evil master mind that stole our god
Yap its third person
Something like that thing up there.
Derek has been kidnapped and we go on an adventure to find him
Hmm... Interesting...
But I have so many other fanfictions to write, and I need to finish Skuttlebuggia... *frowns*
*flicks through pages of Skuttlebuggia*
*chews bottom lip, thoughtfully*
I'll think about it, Brave, is that alright?
I have a lot on my mind, at present, and I'd hate to be unreliable with it. Make sure you ask around, though, I'm sure some other people are likely to want to write a collab.! Sounds like a lot of fun. :)
Judihpor, do YOU want the hippy beach ball?
Thanks Luci.
Aww, love you too, L. *hugssss*
And I keep hinting my grandparents that September is very important to me. XD
Nooo!! Nix!!
The internet is very evil. It plots against us. *nods*
Its ok.
Its ok.
Oh my Golden God, Val, if you're still here, tell Derek to check Twitter please!:3
*hugs Cain* I hope it will work how we wish for it to, it would be an incredible experience. Full of some sexy accents. Aussie, English, Irish... YORKSHIRE. *laughs gently* I hope it will work...!
OMG22ISTHEBESTSONGEVER
I've got what Luciana, Missy, Brave, and Judiphor said. Anything I missed?
Gtg bye
Rainbows, Val, rainbows. *grins*
Judi is Death btw
*narrows eyes*
I post a comment about the internet plotting against us, and my internet goes stupid.
*eyes widen*
NO!! IT'S THE BELLS OF SAINT JOHN ALL OVER AGAIN!! *checks I'm on home wi-fi*
*is on home wi-fi*
*sighs in relief*
I shall be back in a moment, I have been sat here in my pyjamas for too long.
And it's a tad too cold to be wearing an oversized TT t-shirt, I think... :)
I wrote it was from you, Death.
Luci, do you want me to tell him you say rainbows?
Sexy accents, FTW. *grins*
what! judi is deaTH!
WHAT!
WHY DID NO ONE TELL MY THAT!
IS THAT YOU IN REAL LIFE DEATH! THE PIC!
VAL! PLEASE TELL HIM THAT I LOVE HIM, HIS BOOKS AND TELL HIM TO TELL TOM PERCIVAL I LOVE HIS ARTWORKS!
Yes, please, Val!:3
You're incredible!
CAN YOU ALSO ADD "COME TO CONNAGHT! ITS THE ONLY PROVINCE YOU DIDNT COME TO ON THE KOTW TOUR. YOU OWE ME LANDY." PLEASE
Tom Percival is lovely.
I talk to him more often than I talk to some of my friends, *laughs* It's great.
Come on, Val. PLEASE! I KNOW YOU HATE ME, BUT PLEASE!
Great, Derek will never get my message. °_°
Hmm.
Maybe I should continue with Project Derek.
I haven't worked on it in ages.
And it might come in handy with these Exquisite Corpse competitions at one point...
Don't worry Dylan, I told him!
I might dislike you, but not saying that would be straight out rude.
OH MY GOD, I HAVE ABOUT FOUR MINUTES OR SO.
Oh, so EVERYONE is being an a**hole to me? What did I do?
OKAY GUYS, DEREK'S HERE! GOTTA GO! BYE!
Perhaps, John, by being a tad less obnoxious people will do you favours? It seems to have worked for Brave (no offence, sweetie!).
My dear, I believe in karma, what goes around comes around. Be nice, and nice things will happen. *smiles*
Oh, never mind, SORRY. But everyone but Val seems to be ignoring me.
HAVE FUN VAAAAL!!
Bye Val! *waves*
None Taken Luci.
and your right
Like. A. Freaking. Boss.
I dedicate this page to Val, and the honour she has by meeting our wondrous Golden God.
I also dedicate this page to penguins, Nixion's internet, owls (for Fabi) and for kittens, because they're so goddamn cute.
And to Taylor Swift, for Brave. c:
Bbs, dinner!!
I really want to make a collab. Who wnats to make collab with me
Bye, Cain!
I may disappear soon, or be rather distant...!
Just a warning.
Now I shall try to get on with my fan-fiction... Wbd.
What's a collaboration?
Its where different people can post on the same blog. I would use it for a story like. so a few people write the same story.
HELLO?
Sorry! I got caught up in a sea of Derek tweets... *laughs*
Omg. Where is everyone
Well. I gtg. Bye everyone.
Bye, Brave!
Sorry I'm so distant...!
Hello, Ruá!:D
Hi Luce! *hugs*
*hugs back*
How are you, my dear~?
How are ya?:)
I'm fine thanks :) playing with my dog, who also has the same name as me! XD
hehehe.
Who wants a snippet.
I do :)
Awesome!:D
I'm alright thanks, also. :3
Sure, Brave!:D
And, someone tweeted me saying this:
" I don't know,don't confuse me!!! XD you do have the title of one of the top ten famous skuttlebugs!! "
Then this:
" of course!!there's always been the top skuttlebugs,EVERYBODY who is atleast half skuttlebug knows you!"
Will someone explain to me what is going on!? I'm just me. Another random Skuttlebug that has no real importance. c:
Also, I made a new blog. For my fan-fictions.
If you bother to read it, please comment! It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
http://witchonarampage.blogspot.co.uk/
Luce, even Derek recognized your name! Are are one of the tops! n.n
I'll check it out :D
Distant for a few, reading luce's fic :)
But... I'm not well-known.
People sort of know me in Blogland, but everyone knows everyone in Blogland.
People don't know me. >_<
Thanks:3
Derek Day is so funny...
We've taken April Fools Day and made a mockery out of it by creating our own day!
Ohhh Luce I LOVE that!! More!!
Mr.Derek Landy Dose not even know That His fictional world exists. In fact, in a way he has never even MET Skulduggery Pleasant. No one really knows how the idea came to his head to write about the sanctuary and the secret war. Although these things are true, Derek thinks he made them up. perhaps he had a jam-packed action dream of everything that ever hapend in the history of this magic little world. The problem is no one knows if that his true. Most of the Sanctuary and most of the normal people of the "Skulduggery World" have read the book. Of course its there favourite book. Because its about them. So when Mr. Derek Landy went missing EVERYONE got panicked.
How do I follow it?
Thats a paragraph of my Fanfic
"Landy-Napper"
So it's okay?
I'm writing the next part, now...
Though I might switch back to writing Skuttlebuggia soon...!
Upload all of it brave :)
Yeah it's brilliant :D
I was thinking of doing a skulduggery/ hunger games fic cross..
*me on the phone to dad and his girlfriend*
Dad: jade, we're going out for dinner tonight.
Me: it's too short notice, I can't..
Dad: meaning you don't want to, you lazy ass.
Me: ..... pretty much
Dad: the reservation is in your name, they'll need identification from you.
Me: so you're forcing me?
Dad: I'd never do indeed that! But yeah.
Me: well played, father.....
What do you mean Ruá
Thanks.
I'm glad you think so. :)
I've been tempted to do Skulduggery/Hunger Games, but I somehow found myself writing PJ/HG first, so... c:
I don't know how that indeed got in there... ignore it! Sneaky indeed..
Abot uploading it all like.
Upload the whole thing like :)
