135,499 words and counting.
My editor has been asking me for a synopsis for ages now. They need it so that they can send it to sites like Amazon, so they can put it up to inform people what it is they'll be buying. I took a few minutes today to write it, and before I go to bed tonight, I figured my Minions deserved to see it first.
Last Stand of Dead Men:
War has finally come.
But it's not a war between good and evil, or light and dark- it's a war between Sanctuaries. For too long now, the Irish Sanctuary has teetered on the brink of world-ending disaster, and the other Sanctuaries around the world have had enough. Allies turn to enemies, friends turn to foes, and Skulduggery and Valkyrie must team up with the rest of the Dead Men if they're going to have any chance at all of maintaining the balance of power and getting to the root of a vast conspiracy that has been years in the making.
But while this war is only beginning, another war rages within Valkyrie herself. Her own dark side, the insanely powerful being known as Darquesse, is on the verge of rising to the surface. And if Valkyrie slips, even for a moment, then Darquesse will burn the world and everyone in it.

Hello peoples!
Hey Duck were you the one that gave us the riddle yesterday?
Always wanted to see those movies. Anyway, you with blood of a vampire and... this happens. Don;t talk to me about Nye.
Hello Alex, to know what's going on, look up. :)
I really should go to bed. Its midnight here.
Stupid keyboard. You mix it with the blood of a vampire is what I ment.
I was the one with the riddle Alex and it was quite a simple one.
But this is a hard one:
"What's in my pocket?"
I'm still kinda confuzzled but ok.
Bye Jonathon!
Did you get my answer?
A ring! Bye Alex!
I'll talk to you guys later, I think, getting really tired now. (Yawn) good night
Bye Jono
Your right about the ring
And what was your answer Alex?
It was 'nothing'.
CORRECT
Have a metaphorical sticker or cookie or puppy or something. Doesn't really matter because they're metaphorical.
Bloody hell I saw a fight
OK have to go to bed now GOODNIGHT

Hi Jubi *Hugs Back*
Mean twitter!
Oh, ok Jubi. ^^ I don't think it'll be like normal colabs though since... I don't know how to run them. ^^
LOL
Spamming celebrities with cheese adverts. xD
Sorry.
Hi, btw.
wbd/msd
I sent everyone who commented an invite.
Taia, no joke. I kept pressing the twitter button on the cathedral city advert and yeah it ended up spamming loads of celebrities.
So me OK I'll go check on my hotmail.
Dragoan I dont have the email
xD That's awesome, Dragona.
I mean, maybe a little tough on the celebrities, but even so... :P
TAIA!!!!!!!!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
JUBI!!!! *is supermegatacklehugofdoom-ed*
Hi!
Guys who are ever in Dead Reaping do you have to use your gmail if you are being invited to a blog as I did not use my gmail one?
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I started extensively drawing the chorus to My Fist, You Mouth, Her Scars today in my school notebook thing.
Maybe it's good that it was decorative and not easily readable. People might have thought I had problems. :P
@Brad: I think you have to use whichever email you're signed up to blogger with. :)
HEY, STAR!
:)
Star not joining MC. Joining Dead Reaping!
Oh Ok will do! Eeh silly me!
Rules scare me off...
I took one look at MC, when it first appeared, decided it was too scary and ate it! *nods*
And I barely have time for my own writing, so bleeeeh!!!!
STAR!!!! IENI!!!!!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
Hi Ieni!
*nods* I know what you mean.
But I don't even get around to my own writing, any more. Which is a big part of the reason I'll be joining the Dead Reaping project, I guess. In about eight weeks' time, that is. :P
OK signed up for DR
*Your
Dammit.
Hey. :)
@Brad: Yay!
But now
It's over
I'm calmer
Her crimson flowing down
Like water
I saw her as she HIT THE GROUND!
*adjusts space in book as the HIT THE GROUND is a little squished*
Hi, Jubi, Taia, Star, Brad, and whoever else may be here!:) *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
That makes absolutely no sense to my brain, Taia, but who cares! *nods and goes along with what Taia says she pretends to understand*
Yay! Am very happy now!
*laughs*
Sorry, Ieni. I think what I meant to say is that Dead Reaping would give me an excuse of sorts to write again. Kind of. :P
BRB because Blogger issues. >.<
GAHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW DARE THERE NOW BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR THE THE. *glares*
I barely have time for my own writing either . . . Doing unnecessary stuff like this doesn't help. D:
*Glares at the The*
I got all my GCSE options, yesterday, by the way:)
I have to poof now though, because munchtime!!:)
Byebye *waves*
bye leni
:( FOURS IENI!
Thank you, Jubi. :)
BYE IENI!!!!!!!!!
Back.
Damn. Washing up, brb.
You use the email you used to create your blogger account.
And just the link again:
deadreaping.blogspot.co.uk
Thanks Dragona! I'm in Dead Reaping! I will ot post anything until we have a proper storyline.
*not
Back.
I might've been quicker, but I had to sign out, and then couldn't remember my Blogger password. xP
Still wbd/msd
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I changed the layout and now I can fit the 'flowing' on the first page. :)
WB Dragona!
I return!:)
Wbd and msd, though:(
Yes Star you've joined Dead Reaping!
I AM, I AM
I AM SUPERMAN
AND I KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING
I AM, I AM
I AM SUPERMAN
AND I CAN DO ANYTHING~
Sorry. That's been in my head for two days. It's good to get it out. xD
Yay! for joining Dead Reaping. :3
Yeah it feels good!
CATS!
*hides*
MY COMPUTER IS SHOWING ME ADS IN WELSH.
The Welsh language and I don't get on too well. :P
Also, very msd. :/
Back.
If anyone is worried about the rules of Dead Reaping, don't. They won't be restricting as such, just in terms of the content, such as putting *s in the middle of swear words if you include them during stories and stuff.
I AM rather pleased with how it's turning out.
WOO HOO the birth of Dead Reaping!
Star, I've sent you an invite. ^^
Tomorrow, I will be making a post about... well generally saying welcome, what my ideas are (though they're COMPLETELY up for discussion), and generally sorting things out.
As for why it's tomorrow, just to see if anyone else would like to join. We already have 8 people who are interested, and maybe 6 who would be able to be active nearly all of the time.
Awesome! :)
I'm pleased. I didn't expect it to be this like... big? ^^
Damn. Have to go.
Need to work!
Work!
Work!
Yeah.
I'll probably be back in a couple of hours. :)
Bye~
Eve is trying to figure out what exactly is blue. *giggles*
IT'S BLUE!
WBID
:( FOURS TAIA!
So if there are any people who you'd like to join, you should inform them about it either tonight or tomorrow, though they can join at any time so it doesn't really matter but if they join sooner rather than later there'll be less to catch up on.
Oh, good. I appear to be contributing. :)
*starts colouring in letters*
Yup I invited you Star. ^^
It'd be great to have like a logo or something. Hm...
*goes to use a logo creator*
Hello
My brother got to play in Croke Park today in a hurling blitz. An he scored a goal and a point. I'm jealous of him.
And
Hey Aisling! How are you?
* *and
HI AIS!
Lucky him! :)
I'm good. And trying to decide whether to be jealous of my brother or happy for him. Actually I'm both. *nods*
How are you?
Aisling, have you seen the Dead Reaping project?
deadreaping.blogspot.co.uk
*opens schoolbag* *looks inside for homework* it's not there. I swear I put it in my bag before leaving. Although I did leave school early today to go to Croker. I only have my reading book. Uh oh. Ah well my teacher should hopefully understand.
Dragona no I haven't read it I'll go read it now as it appears that I can't do my homework.
OH ****.
That will teach me for not concentrating.
*glares at giant blue gash through T*
Dragona sounds good. I'll do it if I'm allowed set up a new email. Which is unlikely but possible.
Blood isn't actually crimson . . . *frowns*
At least, I don't think so.
It'd be good if you'd join Aisling.
Brb. :(
Blood coming from the heart is red cause its full of oxygen. When the blood is on it's way back to the heart it's dark red/blue cause its not full of oxygen.
Aisling, blood is always red. Veins are blue because light has to penetrate them or something. Blood is read because of hemoglobin which binds with the oxygen. It's bright red when it's oxygenated and dark red when it isn't.
Hello peoples!
*red
Hey Alexandra! How are you?
I'm good thanks Dragona!
How are you?
Hi Alexandra
I'm fine, thank you. Have you seen a joint story I'm doing?
deadreaping.blogspot.co.uk
But it isn't CRIMSON . . .
I'm wondering what on earth the point in this is. There wasn't much of a point anyway, but if blood isn't crimson, then that's less than poinless. That's STUPID.
:/
Oh well. Nice to be drawing something for myself for a change. :)
No I wouldn't call blood crimson.
Dark red = crimson-ish, or not?
I though blood WAS blue when unoxygenated and it went red oxygen got in it . . .
Oh well, I'm probably wrong. :P
BUT WHEN PEOPLE BLEED IT ISN'T CRIMSON.
I THINK.
IT'S MORE SCARLET.
But then I'm not 100% sure of what shade crimson is.
Maybe dark red equals crimson, Dragona, but the person in the song was bleedING. Oxygen contact, so red. O_O
Hi Aisling! Hi Star!
Isn't crimson sorta pink?
Well, I'm assuming crimson is the colour of the ink from my crimson felt tip.
*debates stabbing self with needle so I can inspect my blood*
And blood is more like my bright red pen than my crimson one, I think . . .
Hey! I'm back, for a while.
One maths past paper down. (Yay!-ish)
Crimson, I'd say, is DEEP red, as opposed to dark red. They mean different things, in my mind. :P
DO NOT stab yourself with a needle!!!!!!!!!
Hi Taia!!
Wait a sec and I'll show you my pen colours as my profile pic. :)
Hi Taia
One down is good though. It's one less that you have to do. *rereads the last sentence* that made no sense whatsoever.
I have loads of and of year tests coming up. I don't mind the tests it's just that they take so long and we're not allowed go to the toilet or move from our chairs.
*end
HI TAIA!
:( Why not?
It would just be my finger.
I can't find a needle, though . . .
Star, no needles. ^^
I'm sure you know the colour of blood! Just shine a torch through your fingers
Or you could just wait until the next time you cut yourself and check then. I get cuts regularly. A side effect from G.A.A.
Dammit. I appear to have lost my needle. That's annoying - what about when I need to sew something?
I'll have to get a pin from downstairs . . .
Hi Alexandra!
Hi Ais! Aw. I understand, completely. I struggle to sit for so long in silence. Especially when the tables wobble...
They do help though, I think. If I'd never had end-of-year tests before, actual GCSE exams would be 999,999,999x scarier. :P
Hi Star!
I had a nightmare last night, there was blood everywhere and it was more scarlet than crimson, if that helps.
Don't stab yourself with a needle, it hurts.
[is not here]
Star don't stab yourself with a needle of a pin or anything else. Not a good idea.
I rarely get cut ever! D:
I used to regulary bleed around my fingers because of my chewing and tearing at the skin there, but I've got a better at not doing that . . . :)
I still do it. Just slightly not as bad.
HI FABI!
I know. SCARLETTTTTTTTTTT.
Star, don't.
And hey Fabi!
Hi Fabi!!
They're not really important just to see what sort of level you're at. But the results of the tests this year are going to our secondary schools.
Hi Fabi
Wbd reading
Actually, I could just tear at the skin on my one of my fingers and that would bleed . . . O_O
Nah, that's more painful. :P
Congratulations on getting first, Star. ^^
Hi Fabi!! :)
@Ais: *nods* I know the ones. :)
THAT had to be first comment? *shakes head*
Star don't do that. That sounds even worse than the needle.
And those are my pen colurs, btw. *points at profile picture*
Is it just me or does the red look orange?
It is worse than the needle. Larger wound and skin removal. :P
*laughs*
There's no better first comment than the unsuspecting. :P
But, yeah. Needle would be better than skin-tearing, I think. o0
I like the crimson more than the red :P
Please Star don't hurt yourself!
It is a bit orangy. *shrugs*
It's one of those reds.
No. No skin tearing and no needle.
@Star: Crimson looks good, to me. But it may just be, like, lighting or something, I guess.
Also: SAME HOMEWORK PLANNER-NESS
(Or, it looks awfully similar, anyway. :P)
deadreaping.blogspot.co.uk
If there's anyone who you'd like to join, just tell them before tomorrow so they don't have much to catch up on, though anyone is free to join at any point.
Star is that your writing?
Gah. Gotta dash again.
BBL.
*waves*
Bye Taia
Bye Taia!
*bounds into bedroom with saftey pin* I DEDICATE TO MINORY INJURING YOURSELF IN ORDER TO PROVE A POINT! *stabs*
*frowns* Ow. Producing blood is harder than I thought.
Oh, dammit. You can't see that with all the felt tip. D:
*tries a different finger*
Aha. There.
*scowls* And now my stupid phone won't take a good picture . . .
Maybe I'll have to try again.
My ankle is really really itchy and I can't scratch if cause I've got a scab there. Ahh it's so itchy.
It was only a teeny tiny amount of blood, guys. Doesn't deserve to be called a drop. *mutters*
It is my writing, Ais. :)
Star no don't injure yourself again. There was no need to do it in the first place.
*pokes Star repeatedly*
*rubs scar* wait when did I start doing that? I have a scar just above my eye and I'm pretty sure I don't rub it subconsciously but I just did there. Maybe I've been doing that for years and have never noticed.
O_O
THAT WOULD BE FREAKY.
*is trying to stab thumb with saftey pin* Owwwwwwwwww . . .
You're right, this was stupid. D:
*keeps poking Star*
Your writing is really pretty!!!!!
Stop hurting your self!!!!!!!!!
I haven't been to school in two days. I'm sick...
Hi Brave!!!
:( Poor you, Brave!
My brother's ill too . . .
*laughs* If I was in a book, I'd've sliced my skin open with a dagger.
And, thanks. :)
Hey Rubix! How are you?
And, maybe something you might be interested in joining:
deadreaping.blogspot.co.uk
Hi Brave hope you get better soon.
Star yeah you probably would have. Characters in books often do extreme things.
*remembers a scene in a Gone book*
"Does anyone have anything sharp?"
Three knives flashed out.
"I was thinking more of a pin."
And, yeah. :P
Hi again, again! :3
*waves*
HEY TAIA!
*has returned to the familiar territory of chewing the skin around my fingernails*
OH YES.
BLOOD.
WITH BARELY ANY PAIN.
BEAT THAT. :)
Screw pins. :P
*pokes Star harder*
But that barely hurt and I've been doing it for years . ..
STAR!! Stop hurting yourself.
Hi Star! Hi Ais!
@Star: In my experience, there is pain a little while after the chewing of skin, usually.
And my medicine tastes like A remnats puke.
Rubix, how do you know what a remnants puke tastes like? :P
@Brave: GRR I HATE NASTY MEDICINE. D:
My thumb's sore, now . . . :P
I'll deal. I got a good pic.
Ugh nasty medicine is horrible.*shudders*
Dragona, I'm interested in Joining your Blog.
*hands Brave a cookie*
Sounds nasty. :c
And i did not know what a remnants puke tasted like...
before i took the medicine
and now i sadly do.
Ok then Brave. If you leave your email I'll add you as an author ASAP.
I had nasty medicine I had to take four times a day in year . . . whatever it was.
Yuck. D: I hated it. It was pink and disgusting.
Had to go and get it from the office every school lunch. :/
