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.

«Oldest ‹Older 4801 – 4953 of 4953Are you entering, Jubi?
Which one? [laughs]
I thought I'd picked one, but now I'm starting to change my mind again...
well I WOULD enter if i KNEW WHAT TO DOOOOO!
but sadly, I don't
Ooh, yay Ari!
Good luck to you, Jubi and Ari. :-)
Haha thanks xP
I don't think that I'm really gonna do it though... *sigh*
CURSE YOU UNIMAGINATIVENESS!!!
You'll think of something!
[Consider me weird, but I actually WANT you to think of something and enter, even though I'd be, like COMPETING against you.]
haha xD
ENEMIES!!
*dun dun DUUUUUUN*
Yeah, I'd love it if all the Bloglandians entered! Especially you guys, since we're closer friends and all. I'm sure you'll come up with something awesome!
Jubi, no matter how much I love annoying you, I still think you're an awesome person. Just so you know! [tacklehugs and pokes]
Aww thanks fabi :)
If I come up with anything at all...I have too many ideas! Then again, I may take the obvious way out. :-P
*pokes back*
I could ask my friend to draw a pic of Tanith because she's AMAZING at drawing
and then SHE can enter the contest xD
*evil scheming*
[grins]
Oh, now that you've mentioned it, I could probably do that too... Except I like my other idea better. That's really clever, though!
Are you willing to tell your idea, or is it a secret?
I'm stuck between entering the Tanith-pumpkin or some sort of video thing.
oooOOOoo
what's a Tanith Pumpkin??
other than the obvious xD
Uh, it's the pumpkin I made back at Halloween and I carved Tanith on it. I can get a picture, just a sec. The thing is, though, it rotted back in October-November, and the photos aren't as good as they could be...:-/
I can write gothic calligraphy, so my idea is to obtain a not-real sword and cover it with pages of Tanith quotes in calligraphy.
OOOOH that's a good idea!
Cool. :-)
Unfortunately, this is the best picture I have of Tanith-pumpkin. Well, one of two, but still. I didn't get a pic of it lit. :-(
No?
Oooooo that's cool!
You should use that one :P
Haha.
I don't know, though. I mean...it's something I already did, and I can't get a decent photo of it... I might be better off doing an animation.
*shrugs* it's really up to you :P
[Laughs]
Sorry! I'm gonna have to think about it for a while!
I'm gonna try to eat something...bbl.
SEE YA FABI!
Sooooo
HOW GOES IT ARI?
if you're still here that is...
I'm still here! Just a bit distant, sorry. I think I'm going to start writing another MC chapter soon. I fell way behind last month, so I really want to stay on top of it now. I'm pretty good. I lost my inspiration for a while, but it's flooding back to me now. So not-so-good for amount of sleep I get, but brilliant for my writing! How goes it for yourself?
Last month was scary...
Yeah, the whole blog died down... I blame myself for that... Sorry...
WHOO! I'm back
It's not your fault, Ari.
You could't have written seventy-five chapters. Not that I'm degrading your writing ability, it just isn't possible. Fact.
It was going to slow down from the beginning. Fact.
And hopefully it'll perk up now.
Welcome back, Jubi!
I also am back, in case y'all didn't notice. :-P
WHAT?!?! FABI'S BACK!!! OHMYGOSH! I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE JUST A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION!!!!!!!!
YAY!!! I'M NOT GOING CRAZY(-er than I already was/am)
Fabi has always been a figment of your imagination, didn't you know? :P
Oh right....
DARN
[laughs and hugs Jubi]
haha *hugs back*
wait.... IF YOU'RE A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION HOW AM I HUGGING YOU??? O.o
You're crazy, Jubi. Anything is theoretically possible.
oh yeah....
*hums to self*
That's true, but I used to write about three chapters every day, and for a while I wrote nothing... And when people hear I've posted a third chapter in one day they feel like they should be writing a ton too, and then they write a ton. And then everybody's writing like a lunatic. But when I stopped writing the whole thing just slowed down...
GAH!!!! I WANNA READ TMS!!!!!!!! *runs around in circles*
*Waves*
I am definatley a hippy from this point in time... This is going to dramatically effect my MC chapters...
*Imagines throwing flowers on Mevolent's head and dancing around him in a flower skirt*
DEATH/JUDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Actually...it felt more like I was hopelessly behind and couldn't keep up with anybody else in the MC and should maybe quit...depending on my mood, I guess.
Don't blame everything on yourself, Ari. Some things are beyond your control. The past is the past, let's make the MC better tomorrow as opposed to moping about yesterday.
Also, 46 chapters a month is still more than most blogs, even if it's less than half what the MC used to be.
JUBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Stranger things have happened, and do, with alarming regularity.
I think I only wrote (Death of course) only wrote two chapters all month!!
I haven't written any MC since.... like January
Hi Judi/Death!
I had the subplot all month and wrote...six chapters?
Hi Fabi!!
And HI ARI!
It's really weird because whenever people type "Judi" it always looks like "Jubi" and I'm all like "HEY IT'S ME!" and then 2 seconds later I'm like "oh... NEVERMIND"
Story of my life in the past minure
YEY
*minute
"True love will triumph in the end, which may or may not be true, but if it's a lie it's the most beautiful lie we have." -John Green
He's not my favorite author of all time *cough*DerekLandy*cough* but he's definitely up there.
I'll be distant- writing for MC.
Judi, I don't think I said hi to you yet. Hi!
I did that too... I wrote in my name instead of yours and... Had to... *gets awkward* change it...
WHY IS IT AWKWARD??!!
Hi! I am Death's dark side! All the bad stuff she has gone through... Watching her mother die, Valentine's day!
I just have had a change of heart and now turned into a hippy! Nice to make your acquaintance.
so wait...
you're Death's dark side that suddenly wants world peace?
seems ironic xD
Yep! Only Death can be that weird!
'lo?
Hmmmm
I wonder what MY dark side would be like......
ZATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi.
Oh, well that's lovely to hear! I have a dark side... But I keep mine under lock and key constantly. I'll just say this- she wouldn't bother typing anything, but she would snap my laptop in half instantaneously.
I appear to have become suddenly distant, Writig another Raeza chapter thing.
Hello, Zathract.
*tries to think of and Evil Jubi*
*tries harder*
Oh wow... Evil Jubi would be weird
Hi Zath!!
*Throws flower petals on everyone*
Aretha's dark side would be strange...
Jubi, I would like to apologize for throwing you at Nagier... Twice... Then over that hill over there...
..... My ribs still hurt
and my wrist
*Grins*
I was, obviously, not in my right mind!
I am very tempted to introduce you to my dark side now, but again, she would destroy my laptop. And then go on a killing spree. So I am not going to release her/it... Ever.
Jubi, what made your ribs hurt?
I could tell you about her if you want, though. It'll put me in a very dark mood, and I might act like slightly-not-quite-myself for a bit, but I'll tell you guys if you want to know.
I want to know! Bad Judi could beat her any day!
i popped in while Judi and Negier/Zath's Dark side were having a battle and then I suddenly became a Football (AMERICAN football) that was getting hurled at everyone...
and I broke my ribs
and wrist
it wasn't fun
Um... Bad me through Jubi over hill and at Nagier...
I have too many sides, like I'm not jut making it up, I have too many personalities...
***Nagier
Oh, and I still have the bit you told me about Scye; if you'd rather, I can paste it and you don't have to type up something else.
It wasn't fun... It was funNY!
NY=New York
New York = America
America = Football
Football = Jubi!!
My different personalities are:
1. Crazy Jubi
2. Insane Jubi
3. Running-around-in-circles-screaming Jubi
4. As-normal-as-Jubi-can-get Jubi
and
5. Jubi (which also falls under the category of #1 and 2 and sometimes 3
YAAAAAAY!!
Derek is the children's author of the month in Dymocks. :D
I see...and you're quite sure you're a hippie?
.... *sarcastically* you're HILARIOUS Judi
xD
Hi Missy!
Nah, it's ok Fabi, I'll paste it in and then add a bit to it. Thanks, though!
MISS CAIN!!!!!!! *tacklehugs*
hi.
I am positive.... I can let evil Judi come out but she'll end up throwing people over the hill... Won't she Jubi?
*Winks*
Okay.
Morning all!!
Wbd, doing homework for tomorrow.... D:
Well then!
Sorry, I forgot I was here...
And I'd also like to apologize for Nagier's behaviour - even though he's not even me. Or using my body. Or has anything to do with me in any way at all.
I'd still like to.
*Shrugs*
It's grand Zath! I can't hate people! It is against hippy nature!!!
Sorry I poofed...my sis...yeah. [takes deep breaths]
You ok, Fabi?
*Hugs Fab and keeps away from Ari*
Y'kay?
Interesting... That's my reaction, 'interesting.'
*Doesn't know if responding is a good idea*
Uh...
*Hugs tighter*
I'm fine.
Well, frustrated and it feels like my crazy neighbor is weeding my stomach (he weeds with a flamethrower...yeah). but mostly fine. [hugs back]
That was my reaction to Ari's Scye speech, sorry.
Sorry, Judi... Did I frighten you? I promise not to turn evil and go on some crazy killing spree. I haven't even really thought about Scye in months, aside from these past few days. But just like a muse, I can't make her disappear- I can just ignore her, restrain her, and let her grow weaker with time. So that's what I do.
Aretha, that's what Nagier used to be like, but after five or so years out in the world, he got bored of just killing people, and he started to take an interest in battles and challenges.
Oh, I'm sorry, Fabi... *hugs*
Don't worry I was completely exaggerating about the flamethrower. I'm fine, really. Just...overdramatic?
(Lioness speaking, 'case you couldn't tell. Uh, I think Ari might know what I mean by that, if not, ignore it)
Why are you sorry? [hugs back]
If Scye ever got bored of killing- or maybe just on a random whim- she'd probably throw herself off of a cliff, or the face of a mountain.
*hangs upside down in tree*
That's a very violent other personality thingymajig, Ari. *nods*
I get it. And I was apologizing because I'm sorry you're not feeling well.
I'd assume she'd survive that?
*Almost died at the flamethrower part*
Everyone is sorry about something! I am sorry that I am not letting Death back!!!
(I am lying there!!!)
Yeah, Missy, it certainly is. Rather concerning, really. But that's another thing Derek did for me- I was figuring this out right around the time Valkyrie/Darquesse came into existence, and then later Skulduggery/Vile. And it made me feel like even if I am crazy, that's ok, and rather than freak out, just deal with it. Seal it somewhere deep inside, put up a bunch of giant barriers, and then "Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed!"
I'd be scared of anyone who wasn't sorry for something... And sorry to bother you all. [winces] I'll be fine.
Zath- she's not any more exceptional in skill or ability of any sort than I am. So of course that would kill her. She wouldn't care. I guess I can quote Sherlock here- "You'd do anything- anything at all- to not be bored."
I'm looking on eBay for more Skulduggery books... And I have no money.
*facepalm*
Mwahahahahahahaha!!!! MY FAVORITE QUOTE!!!!!!!!!
Bad Fabulous... Don't feel sorry! There is nothing to be sorry about!!!
*Facepalms*
Oh, really? Interesting.
And I don't watch Sherlock.
That's fine- the quote just fit that situation.
Uh, sorry for feeling sorry then?
Yeah! Feel sorry because you feel sorry!!
Oh... I feel kind of sick now... Also, really not like myself. Nope, I cannot write like this... Darn it... Wow, sorry for complaining to all of you people. But I'm not quite myself, so I'm going to post this instead of not bothering all of you with it.
[hugs Ari]
It's okay, if you want to get it out of your head, I don't mind listening
Speak your mind!
*hugs back* Thanks... I dunno, I just don't feel like myself right now. I also feel kind of sick, but that's unrelated. Sometimes when I write/think about Scye (pretty much every time) I start to forget who I am. And then my head gets a little too in the clouds, and I start to feel like I don't even actually exist... Wait, now I'm getting a headache...
Ok, headache is gone. And I feel like I exist again. Thank God for Repo!... But I still can't quite grasp who I am...
*Hugs Ari*
It's okay...
Ari... I am heaving a mental blank...
*Hopes Niccolo doesn't show up*
What colour clothes and hair does Niccy have?
I get that... I'm essentially a senate, house and president voting on what Fabi does. [shakes head]
[hugs]
Just remember that there is a you, even if the you is divided into multiple sides.
*hugs back* Um, thank you...
It's times like this when having, like, 500 separate characters living and talking inside your head becomes really inconvenient...
Yeah, that can get annoying...
Judi- it's black. Always all black. And he always wears that long, worn black leather jacket. And when he's near another person, he changes the way he stands, walks, and moves to match them so he can blend in anywhere, but when he's alone he walks like a tiger.
Ah... That's right!!!! Sorry, mental blanks and being sick do not mix...
*Plots evilly (in a hippy way)*
*smirks* Looks like someone pays very close attention. Do you know this much about everyone, or am I just that special?
Oh! Are you ok? What are you sick with (if you don't mind my asking)?
Niccolo- I very, very rarely pay that much attention. But you have to admit, even by my standards, you're very... Unusual. So of course I would put more effort into observations.
*grumbles something about not being able to find any wrapping paper*
*finds some*
*celebrates*
I'm starting to ground myself again. That's nice. Thanks, everyone, for making this a lot easier than usual.
*Slowly shuffles away with terrified grin on face*
I... Uh... Have to go grab something... Nic...
*Runs and dives into the volcano*
(Sorry Nix! It is an emergency!!!!)
(Ari, I just have a cold)
I'm, uh, gone.
See you all later. Whether you will see me...that depends. On a lot of things.
*Jumps out of the volcano*
LAVA IN MY MOUTH!! LAVA IN MY MOUTH!!!!
*Runs into the lake*
*Sticks head out of water*
See ya Fab! Love the pic!!!!
*Ducks back down again*
I'm not sure it's wise for me to stick around here any longer... *stares suspiciously at Death* Aretha, I'm going to work on MC until you are capable of writing again. *teleports away*
Bye, Fabi! I do hope I'll see you again!
Bye Fabi!!
And that is one awesome picture!!
*Sticks head out of the water again*
Kill me... Now... Before he comes back...
*Laughs at the awkwardness*
What? Judi, what exactly is happening here? And what are you 'plotting' for Niccolo?
*Covers face*
Nothing... That is life threatening... *cough*toanyonebuthim*cough*
That was a big cough...
*mutters something about the comment count*
*heads over to the previous post*
I will follow Zath! I definitely forgot...
Damn Battle for Blogland... Too good...
Yeah, I think I'll head back, too... Toodles! *mutters* That's definitely not something I would say...
