Reaction to the book is exactly what I'd been hoping for — shock and AWE. There have been MANY threats of violence and decapitation made against me, which I thoroughly deserve for what I've put you through.
All in all, people have been very good about not spoiling it for others, but dear god, there have been some exceptions. A few things on the Facebook page, a lot of stuff on Twitter, some stuff on Tumblr, and one of the very first Amazon reviews has a major spoiler. I don't understand the need to spoil things for others or to seek out spoilers for yourself, and I really can't understand why anyone would casually mention a plot twist without realising it could ruin things for others.
Basically, beware of the internet, Minions.
But on a lighter note, Orla came to a signing on Saturday and she gave me a photograph of the cake she'd had for her birthday.
Check it OUT.

As Saph said, it goes both ways.
I should really be asleep...
#ChaseForBook9
What time is it where you are, Fab?
Almost midnight...
#ChaseForBook9
Go to sleep, ya nutter.
Sparky; Meh, she'll probably come back soon :)
*Sighs and hugs Fabi* The curse of having a thriving imagination.
I was meant to meet Cali in the library today. I got out a copy of Death Bringer and sat there reading it. There were quite a few people there who were Cali's age. One girl in particular gave me a weird look, but I figured that was because I kept laughing at bits in the book.
After half an hour, no-one approached me, so I left a little sadly.
This afternoon, I got an email from Cali saying something like; I went to the library, but I don't think I saw you. I was scared of talking to some random person. Were you the girl reading Death-Bringer?
... So, we both waited in the library for twenty minutes, too wary of speaking to someone to say hello XD *Facepalm*
I'm trying...
Sort of.
The first step to sleeping is probably putting away the iPod, though....................
[Yawns]
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
I met Miles IRL!
We've met up twice now. :)
*Laughs* That could help, Fabi :P
Or if you put a happy song on really softly, it might help.
Spary; Lucky! I always wanted to meet a Bloglandian irl, and then a few days ago Cali and I realised we go to the same school :D
[hugs Saph back]
Yeah...
Sounds like something I'd do...
But I guess you'll actually be able to meet up soon?
I'm going to throw my iPod off somewhere thataways so I can't find it until morning.
Night...
#ChaseForBook9
That's what I'm trying, but having the iPod out means coming on here, even while it's playing Enya.
...I might be meeting Val. Maybe.
Now bye! Really!
#ChaseForBook9
*somewhere off thataways.
Sorry, asleep.
REALLY
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabi! *hugs* Sleep well, blogsis. And yes, hopefully we'll eventually get around to it... ;)
*Sparky (Sorry, the 'k' key on my keyboard is a bit sticky)
School sucks ugh
I can't find my cardigan
I forgot my Geography copy for homework
Dear Maths,

Argh

#ChaseForBook9
*is sitting on the roof again*
School is pretty sucky...
*hugs Mara* School DOES suck. I was sick today, and we have to put our hands up to ask permission to go to the nurse. So I stuck my hand up and waited for half the lesson before the teacher noticed that there were tears on my cheeks and let me go *rolls eyes*
SHIT I HAVE SCIENCE
#ChaseForBook9
*widens eyes at Saph*
They did what!?
*hugs Sparky* It does indeed. .-.
*hugs Saph* D: Teachers are so blind sometime..
Gtg, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Mara! *hugs* Good luck :)
Sparky, she doesn't like me at all :J
Hi :)
*narrows eyes*
And I already dislike her greatly.
*waves at Gasp*
*waves at Sparky*
You know when I first went on here, you were the first person I talked to.. :) I don't know why I remember that
I do :) a lot I just realised that.. oh well :)
I recall you, Gasp.
*creases brow*
Can someone explain to me exactly what The Shunting Experiment is?
:) :) :) :) :) :)
Hi Gasp!
Sparky, The Shunting Experiment (or TSE) is a collab started by Fabi where our characters have to move through different sets of dimensions. Different people get to design each dimension :)
Um no sorry :(
Gtg, sorry! Bye! *hugs Sparky and Gasp*
Oh hi Saph, have we met? Sorry if we have and I have forgotten I have the memory of a goldfish
and you are a kiwi :) Same
Oh bye Saph :)
I am listening to Lonely Boy, its such a cool song
*still here just distant*
HI again sorry I was logging into my other email ;)
Its me selena lol I have two accounts I don't why
*know
Hi again!
Selena; You are? Awesome! North or South Island? (And do you know anybody who wants to be on the NZ Council of Elders? At the moment Cali's Grand Mage, I'm an Elder and Scarlet Eventide is too, but she doesn't think she's suited for the job so we're possibly looking for a third Elder)
okay I am going but then coming back as Selena :)
And um North Island :) No I don't really know anyone in real life who goes on here Loner forever :(
Hey, Saph, how old are you...?
I'm back ! :)
I'm back ! :)

*minutes
*hums*
Huh.
Why? How old did you think I was? :P You're sixteen, aren't you?
I'm fifteen.
Dunno, 14?
Morning peeps :)
Sparky; Oh yeah, I confused you with another person I met online called Spar XD
*Shrugs* You were only a few months off :)

i have nowhere else to GOOOOO because i don't go on the forum there because homestuckershomestuckswhatever are WEIRDOS (I'm not being prejudiced, I'm one of them.)
I KNOW ARANEA HOW COULD SHE
THIS IS INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
THIS IS TOTALLY FREAKING INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE
I am going to DIE
and then come back to life and then
DIE AGAIN
and then ressurect and then
I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT I SPELT THAT WRONGLY I WILL DIE AGAIN
and then rise up and then
I WILL SCREAM
...
yep.
I KNOW!!!!!!!
AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS SO HARMLESS
and Gamzee having a meltdown broke my heart
WHAT IF HE NEVERS SPEAKS AGAIN
...
I dont even know what you're all talking about : /
Okay, I've calmed down but
SERIOUSLY, THAT WAS MEAN OF HUSSIE.
@Cal: It's part of another fandom. And the author just did something so awful I'm having a meldown.
Okay, okay, I'm getting really riled up by a friend of mine so would you guys mind giving me a hand here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsobdJf512k
Watch that and answer these questions.
1. Is her singing good, or bad?
2. Is she stunningly beautiful?
3. Is she ordinary?
4. Is her voice 'okay'?
Because my friend is saying that she's not 'all that good' and I'm almost either tearing out my hair or crying in frustration because I think she sounds like and angel and is simply gorgeous.
Ah, okay. Whats it called?
the book/tv show/movie I mean
Ugh I'm so bothered I can't talk properly...
It's a webcomic called Homestuck please help me
*Laughs* Hi Ember and Cali! Wbd, Facebook.
I am back for the second time :)
Hey saph :)
...have you told them bout today?
Hi Saph!
Fandom meltdown.
Enough requests to keep me writing for TWO WHOLE MONTHS
Cali; Homestuck. It's a webcomic.
I have a love/hate relationship with Homestuck... I liked the first few chapters, AND THEN I SAW HOW MUCH OF IT THERE IS.
Jesus Christ I hate it when I get ignored here
I don't really think it's that big of a deal it's a goddamn youtube video and I don't ask for help like this very often
I'm so mad and I don't know what to do could you guys please help me
Watching the video now
Hi to the people I haven't met :)
SAPH!!! YOU KNOW HOMESTUCK TOO???
my fanfics got completely taken over by homestuck... :(
Hi Selena!! Nice to meet you.
Ember.... Wow o_O
Sparky; No sound, but I'll see what she looks like :)
Sparky, I love her voice! And she's really beautiful too.
I know :(
...im now distant, watching BUFFY :D :D
XD
wow that singer is AMAZING!
*stands and waves arms madly on the rooftop*
SEE?
SEE!?
HOW CAN ONE NOT LOVE HER VOICE
SHE MADE THE JUDGES CRY FOR FUCK'S SAKE
THEY NEVER CRY AT ANYTHING
THREE SEASONS OF THE SHOW THEY CRIED MAYBE FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF PEOPLE'S SINGING
SHE WAS THE FIRST
She was the first.
*dashes downstairs and screams into a pillow*
I can see why her voice wouldn't be everybody's taste, though. It's soft and gorgeous and it doesn't have any growl or bite.
Also, she's beautiful but in a kind of ordinary way, if you know what I mean. Not exotic. But still very very beautiful!!
Sorry Sparky, my internet is weird and it skips out random comments :(
Cali; Yup, I told them :D
Hah yeah we kept giving eachother sideways glances...
Yo guys, nobody get your hopes up regarding the publication of ITS. Craig spotted a hitch in my contract, so I dunno what's happening. I'm not being told much, really, but there you go.
Whatevs.
Hi September, can I call you Sept for short?
Sparky; Yeah, she's gorgeous :D I managed to listen to it very quietly for a minute and her voice is incredible.
I am going to leave now because I need to do French.
Stay lovely!
*le mary poppins poof*
*walks out onto the balcony shaking head madly*
She's beautiful
She's beautiful I swear
I could go on about it for days
I would know, I really would
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snZ1pq32lfI&list=PL7DB355A4D48C9436
Different type of song
But
How can you not
Not to mention, on the show you get to know her and she's so nice and-
*grips railing and shakes it with frustration*
BLARGH
You can call me whatever you like!
But most call me Ember :)
Oh, by the way, I'm a huge Mycroft Holmes fan and I normally type with umbrellas, but it would be a hassle to go find them now.
BYE AGAIN!
LU!
*leaps from the balcony and hugs her*
E-mail me?
(Oh god I'm so sorry I'm in a really gay mood right now holy fuck
But really she's so perfect)
Luci; *hugs* I'm sure it'll get sorted out soon. It's probably just some loophole over money or something.
HI! (is shippping shipety ship shiping)
I don't especially want to talk.
I want to listen to FOB and eat chocolate.
By chocolate, I mean I just want this KitKat because apparently eating nothing is stupid with a dietary history such as mine. ._. Ugh.
okay I will call you Sept, bye ;)
Luci; Okay. But if you do want to talk, you know where we are. *hugs*
Sparky; Nah. I mean, I think Kelly Clarkson's beautiful, but as far as I know I'm not gay :P
PATRICK STUMP IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN.
*nods*
*continues to listen to FOB*
*chuckles at Saph*
You seem to misunderstand, I'm actually a lesbian.
I'm just not usually this...
Open about it, I suppose.
Sometimes I just get into moods where I rant about a specific girl for hours. It's sort of silly. :P
OMG I JUST GOT FOB.
FALL OUT BOY!!!!!!!!!1 YAY! one of my friends doesnt stop going on about them... well... i say friends...
okay, bye :) nice to meet those of you I haven't met which is a lot okay bye
Sparky; Okay :) Sorry if I offended you.
Hi Eld! *hugs*
Bye Selena!
Now ive decided I may aswell leave so... bye!
And Sparky I watched that vid she is really pretty ;) and an awesome singer
Bye Cali! *hugs* I WILL meet you eventually XD
bye selena! whom i have not met.
*smiles*
Yes I'm very much pleased with the general reaction.
*shrugs at Saph*
Hey, it's not like you could've known. It's not like I go about shoving fliers into people's faces about it.
BYE CAL! HI LOTA *hugs*
Sparky; *Imagines flyers everywhere and laughs*
*laughs*
I was asking for that reaction, I really was...
WE RISE AND FALL!
*shakes head at self*
How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria, Any Dream Will Do and I'd Do Anything were really the best reality singing TV shows I've ever watched..
I like cake. I ate four cupcakes in ten minutes this afternoon. And while that doesn't sound very impressive, I licked all the icing off before eating them.
My dad might e-mail me back soon... He said he'd talk to Craig in the morning. Which would be now. So I'll either get an e-mail or he'll just tell me tonight/let my mum sign it.
I hate not knowing things. ;~;
Sorry.
I'll shut up.
*hugs Luce*
No need to shut up at all.
Speak your mind. :)
We are wilddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
Do I count as being wild even when I don't leave my house?
Has Derek ever gone to Germany?? I know a lot of people who would like to meet him around here... I think he went to the Frankfurt book fair but has he gone somewhere else?? Does anyone know something? HEY DEREK IF YOU READ THIS IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU LET ME KNOW :) :) ....
Let me just...change my picture...
*chuckles at Eve*
Derek has gone to Germany in the past. Skulduggery is huge in Germany! Once there was a competition just for Germans and they got their own little short story thing in book format. Only last year did it get translated into English for the Australians and Kiwis who got it at the back of the Mortal Coil Down Under Tour Edition 2012.
It has yet to be released in the UK, however, but will feature in the short story collection which is due out next year.
It's a very good short story! I had a Mortal Coil Down Under Tour Edition shipped into the UK because I couldn't wait. c:
*scowls* Well, I haven't been here since the ball. But hi! *floats*
hELLO EVE! *tacklehugs*
Wbd, online shoppinggg :D
Missy!!! *accepts tacklehug*
What are you shopping for?
Hi Luce! :D
I'm shopping for Figma. :3
Well, I'm attempting to choose some for my birthday...
Hey Eve. :)
Figma? What's that? :P
YO Eve. *holds up hand to high five*
Figma are like little figurines with people from animes and stuff, and they're really detailed and yeah :3
Helena!!!!!!!!!!
*runs into her and crashes into the highfive*
I haven't seen you for so long, I thought if I saw you again you'd be all old and wrinkled! XD
I saw someone sculpt a figma out of clay once. It was beautiful and amazing. She was just this girl in an art class. Then I tried and it failed. YAY
Oh...that sounds pretty.
EVE! Woah. *slips and falls*
Nope. *looks at arm* Not old and wrinkled. Well, older. But yeah. And finally. A picture of me. You can now see what I actually look like. I know, my cat's prettier. But she's like a freaking gorgeous cat, so yeah.
Wow, she must have talent if she can sculpt a Figma!!
YOU'RE REALLY PRETTY HELENA
YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT
FALL OUT BOY'S LATEST ALBUM IS SO PERFECT, OH MY GOD

She was crazy good. And she painted them amazingly too. I'll take a picture of one one day and send it to you.
