Stratford Picture House

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.

Hello everyone.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello! Derek's just dropped us off back at our hotel... I gave him the note with your stuff on it :D


(I apologise that it was partially ripped, but that was because I looked out the window and saw Derek's car pull up as I was tearing it out, so...)

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

OMG it's less than 2 mins away

OJKOHLDU IORHCYNU SNGHMXYUH

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Derek is the person who writes all those books you guys love, right?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yeah. Derek Landy.

Oh second thought, I'm not just going to give you the option of ignoring the rant, I'm going to MAKE you ignore the rant.

So, yeah, hi.

Val, how was meeting Derek again?

Luciana said...

Never mind, I can stay.


Tyler got a new phone.

A really expensive one, too. And I can't even have a new bookcase...

It's incredibly annoying, *sighs*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Fabi, it was so awesome I can't really explain it. He thought it was hilarious whenever I tripped on things, and I made about a bazillion Skulduggery references, and he showed us places that things happened in the in the book (we walked right past Shenanigans), and we went out to lunch and his house... It was so much fun.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I woke up late this morning, and my cousins were gone!! D: I knew they were leaving, but I didn't know they would go that early... I didn't get to say goodbye...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

OHMYGOSH YOU GOT TO MEET DEREK. YOU ATE LUNCH WITH DEREK. YOU WENT TO HIS HOUSE. HOW?!?!

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

OMG, the countdown is done and........it's real.....

Anonymous said...

Hi Lucy.
[hugs]

Hi Val. [Laughs] Sounds so awesome.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

The countdown for what?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

He came and picked us up from our hotel. IT WAS SO COOL.

I got to see where Val jumped from the Infected, and where Bliss shoved Skulduggery off a cliff, and we were right next to Shenanigans, I saw where Serpin killed the Elders, I know where the REAL Haggard is (with a different name, obviously)... IT WAS AWESOME.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

His car was trying to kill me, though. I tripped every time I tried to get in or out.

Anonymous said...

C. O. O. L.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Ohmygosh, Val, that's so cool!!!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It was funny whenever he tried to call me by my name, though. He went from Val to Ivy to Bella and back through with them. I go by too many things...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

How do you know him?

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

What

When did I get a new phone???

The countdown on youtube


Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

How do I know Derek?

Anonymous said...

He called you Val sometimes, though. That sounds good for your chances of playing Valkyrie in the SP movie. :-)

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

AND I mentioned that I like acting...


*evil villain laugh* My scheme is unfolding!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yeah- how on Earth did you get to know Derek Landy so well?!

Anonymous said...

[laughs]

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't know, actually. I had the birthday parties for him, and he thought they were cool, and then I told him I was going to Ireland, and he said, yeah, we could meet up, but it wasn't super serious or anything. And then he started coming on the Blog a bit more often, so I could talk to him on there, and I talked to him on Twitter, and when I mentioned meeting him again he said yes. I met him at the signing before hand, and we set this up on Saturday. And then we decided to hang out today.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh wow, that's so cool!!! I wish I could get to know Derek like that...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

By the way, he has the biggest freaking TV of all time. It's like a projector, and it comes out of the ceiling. IT TAKES UP ALMOST AN ENTIRE WALL. He showed us a fight scene from that movie Sucker Punch, turned the volume up all the way, and he actually had to scream it for us to hear him say, "ISN'T THIS AWESOME?!"

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*laughs* Of course he does!! Wow, that's so great! ...I just don't know what else to say!

Anonymous said...

Sorry I poofed for a bit! I had...stuff, ugh.

Msd.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't know, Brave. I handed the note to him and he didn't have time to read it while we were there.


I showed him a picture of Gilbert XD

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Val you are so lucky. Pity that can never happen to me

Anonymous said...

[Laughs] What did he say about Gilbert?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

He stared at the photo and went, "Oh my God." He looked creeped out.



He looked at me like I was crazy when I recited an entire page in twenty seconds total...

Aisling Dubh said...

Hello I am back home again.

Val you are so lucky and I am so jealous of you.

"he looked at me like I was crazy..."

Val, you are crazy. That is meant, of course, in the best way possible, the awesome way.

Hi Aisling!

I'm disappearing soon, just a warning, so if I don't respond to something, it's not because I'm trying to be rude and offend people.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, I definitely am crazy. I ran around his epic TV room and made an elephant noise... The look on his face showed that it was hilarious.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Lookie, I have a photo!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Val, that is just,
SO COOL
I cannot even begin
WOW
you're so incredibly awesome
you went
INCREDIBLE

Aisling Dubh said...

Wow where was that?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I think it was at a restaurant called Blue Bar or something... It's right next to Shenanigans.

Oh, and we got to see the railing Valkyrie got thrown over during the Remnant scene!

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Ahhhhh

Aisling Dubh said...

Val the more you say about your day the more jealous I get.

What else did you do?

Anonymous said...

I'm gonna say it one more time. Val, that is so coolawesomewowyouresolucky.

And now I must vanish.
Bye!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Dammit, I can't follow the link from my kindle.
THE COMPUTER SHALL BE TAKEN!
And the washing up shall err be ignored.

Wow, I'm still in awe of the sheer epicness.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I met his dog Sherlock. We also got to see the covers of Skulduggery books in some other countries, and they were so bad it was hilarious. Um... We got to ride in his car every where and talk and stuffs...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Fabi!


If the link doesn't work, you could just go on Twitter and search @Valkyrie_V... I posted it on my thingy.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Byebye, Fabi! *hugs*

I was going to say something else about something, but I err forgot..

Aisling Dubh said...

Bye Fabi

I just figured out how to stay in caps on my iPod without keeping my finger on the shift button.

Ruá Black said...

Baaack :] hi guys!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hi, Ruá! You haven't happened to have written any more of that thing...?

Ruá Black said...

Awh thank you!! <3

Ruá Black said...

Ok, I'll be distant, I'll write it now then x3

Aisling Dubh said...

I ded to Ruá's SP/HG fanfic and any other fabrics that any bloglandians are writing.

I ded to Derek Landy and Skulduggery Pleasant.

I ded to every Bloglandian.

And I ded to everyone that hasn't met Derek getting to meet him. And the ones that have met him that they get to meet him again.

Aisling Dubh said...

*fanfics

Ruá Black said...

Awh thanks Aisling <3

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

And then there's people like me who will almost certainly never get to meet him, because of parents.

Aisling Dubh said...

What I meant by that was everyone who hasn't met him that they will someday get to meet him.

Nice ded, Aisling. :-)

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Sorry...I didn't mean...

It was an awesome ded anyway, Aisling:)

Ruá Black said...

Aisling is so nice xD Hey Fabi :3

Ruá Black said...

What's tomorrow, leni?

Anonymous said...

[hugs Ieni]

I'm never going to meet Derek, either. :-( If he were doing a signing at the library near me, mom might take me, but only because we know most of the librarians personally and Sara, who would be the one organizing any signings for kid/teen authors, would probably agree to 'keep an eye on me' or something and I would probably have to agree to do something like clean my room. As it is, though, unless he visits America and goes to the Sammamish library specifically, I'll most likely never meet him.

Ruá Black said...

Fabi, next time I meet him I'll get a recording for you and leni, like Luce got! :)

Aisling Dubh said...

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Ruá your really talented.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

I'm no good at writing storys. I just read.

Thank you Brave :D This is the first fanfic i've writen in YEARS.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

I hope theres a signing in Connaght. Otherwise Ill never meet him.


If there was one then who here would go?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

I bet i'd get to talk to him for a good while if he came to connaght. I doubt that many people in connaght read SP and if so there is non on this blog.

Ruá Black said...

I would :)

My cousin told me that Derek went to her school but that barely any of them had actually read Skulduggery. When she said this I was thinking that that wasn't fair. They get to meet Derek and loads of Bloglandians who LOVE SP might never get to meet him.

You rock, has anyone ever told you that? It's ok, though. I really couldn't ask you to that.

*hugs Fabi back*
The annoying thing with me, is that he does signings in MK, which is 20-30 minutes away from me.
My parents won't even let me OWN the books.
Apparently, it will take up space in my room.
WE CAN BE LARRIES TOGETHER! *laughs*

Me go read Chapter 3 now...

OMFG OMFG



AHHHH

*claps hands*
THAT WAS AWESOME!
I want more, more! *laughs*

Is that a hint of Valduggery I sniff?

Ruá Black said...

Maybe a little hint! But I'm trying to keep it low-key because I know not a lot of people like Valduggery....

*cough* I ship valduggery *cough*

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

I MIGHT BE ALOUD TO GO TO THE NEXT SP SIGNING!


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Aisling Dubh said...

Amazing Ruá. I commented on the 2nd chapter but I'm not commenting on any other ones because it keeps making my iPod freeze.
