Let Them Eat Cake

Great first weekend of the tour. I started off with a signing in Liffey Valley in Dublin, then went all over London, signing merrily. On Wednesday I'm appearing at the Mountains to the Sea festival in Dublin. Last year I talked about the movies that had influenced the books, but this year is going to be a completely different, one-off event. Should be funny...

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.

YAY :D

Gonna go see if there's any Coke downstairs. Or popcorn. I like popcorn.

I've barely had time to read it... I have so much homework

Hi Mara!

*goes on a rampage and kills everyone who has it and steals their copies* There.

*wishes it were night so I could turn into a vampire.

Noelle said...

I'm a bit scared to read it... KoTW and DB and MC a bit were all dark... And it's kind of scary and I don't like it but I love them.

And after I finish I'll sit in stunned silence for a few days

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Yeah, I'll be in shock.

Karen said...

Hello Derek-

I am looking all over for your book for my son here in the US (in Minnesota). He doesn't remember how he got the other copies, and now I have called Harper Collins US and Canada, and they don't have any ideas. I tried to other through Amazon UK and CA, but I am blocked! Book Depository is out. Any suggestions? (I started trying to look in the blog but didn't know how to search for it - sorry if you've been asked a million times.)

Karen
Mom to 2 boys, 2 dogs and 3 cats

PS Like your dog pics
PPS How long did you know you wanted to be a writer? I have an older son that SHOULD be one he so creative and verbal, but hates it (and is rather anti-social as well).

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

I have to go-valete, amicae!

Star Inkbright said...

I LOVE DARK SCARY BOOKS.

*is here*

I have to take a reading book in to English to read in the lesson (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! The ONLY other time we did this was Year Six, four years ago), and I want to bribg Skulduggery, but taking a signed paperback might not be smart . . . XD
So I'm wondering whether to take SP ir not.
You don't have to reply. As already stated, I like telling people stuff. :P

Ah, Karen. If he hates it, he shouldn't become a writer. It'll show through in his writing, plus it won't be much good, if it's forced. A story is a labour of love, if you're acting as if it's just another school project to be done, no one will like it.

Dragona Pine said...

Kestrel, unfortunately it's not the type of thing you can just start reading anywhere. It isn't an SP Fanfic. It's a Mass Effect fanfic - based on my favourite video game series.
I finished the 'main story' a while ago. And now I'm going into the past of one of the characters. If you start now it won't make any sense.
If you want to read Part 1 you can, though.

Edward Fletcher said...

hello everyone

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hello, Karen!

You can try eBay if the Amazon site is blocked, although it really shouldn't be. Only 1-3 are published in the U.S., so you won't find them in stores.

If eBay doesn't work, you can go here: http://www.skulduggerypleasant.co.uk/books/

And now I'm really leaving!

Dragona Pine said...

Damn just as my internet unfroze.












Star, Adra, do you have time to read my story? I've nearly finished the next part and yeah.

Star Inkbright said...

@Karen: As far as I know, you can only get books from Amazon UK and stuff in the US . . . They don't sell more than the first three there, because HarperCollins is stupid. If you're blockes from Amazon UK, I'm not sure what you could do. :(
Try the Australia Amazon?

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Karen- try Amazon UK.

*nods*

*climbs up into a tall tree*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Oh, never mind. Imma stay.

Hello, Edward Fletcher!

Hey Star!

Dragona, never mind then. Sorry.

Noelle said...

No, I don't Dragona. Sorry.

Edward Fletcher said...

hello kestrel

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: I'm really sorry, but probably not.
I feel bad for keeping telling you no, but it's not my fault, so . . . :/

Damn school and socialising and lost bus passes. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Ey Ed, Trip.

Edward Fletcher said...

hey adra

Dragona Pine said...

It's fine, Kestrel/Kessie, as I said I can give you the link to the very first part if you want. But really, I don't expect ANYONE to understand what I'm talking about in the fanfic. Well I didn't expect. But I started explaining things and yeah it seems those who actually read it (about 3 people) have understood everything. So yay!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Edward, I don't think we've met, actually.

Kestrel LeStarre, former student of China Sorrows, and Administrator of the American Sanctuary, at your service. *bows*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Dragona, okay! And Kessie is fine. Or Kes. Or anything, really.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Lol, I think less people than that read my blog. XD
Abd, it does seem vety understandable, to me. *shrugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'LL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE, DON'T YOU WORRY❤

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

And Star, np. It's fine. I'll just wait and write so I have plenty in stock. ^^



@Star and Adra - if any of you gain time to be able to read it (e.g. after I've left or just a free minute - it isn't long) then if you'd read it, it would be appreciated. Since you're both like one of the only people who understand what the hell I'm talking about in my fanfic. Or so it seems. In any case you follow the story and your feedback is good (and occasionally very funny).

Just getting frustrated because I wanted it but meh im over it i just will never read LSODM :)

Noelle said...

I don't like pop music, Gemma, but Mara likes them, and makes her happy. So I won't judge then for giving one of my best friends here hope and happiness.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Pretend It's Okay <3

What would you do?
What would you say?
How does it feel?
Pretend it's okay...

They really need to get Little Mix t-shirts in Penneys /:

#ChaseForBook9

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Edward, yep.

*hugs Mara*

Gemma, insulting One Direction within a 5 mile radius of Mara is generally not a good idea.

Dragona Pine said...

Kessie, kk. Just so you know, there ARE 12 parts of the main story. But I really don't expect you to read them all, at all. It'd take AGES and yeah. So don't feel that you have to. If you just want to read the first part that is definitely fine - and it's more than I expect anyway. ^^


http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk


That's the link to the blog. The first part is the one called just "Part 1". The latest ones which are called "A Child's Dream" is just about one of the characters and won't make sense if you read it. "Part 1" is the first part of the main story.
Sorry I can't like give you the actual link to the most - my internet is going weird.

Hello

bye kestrel, hello willow

I have and nobody can trace her...I had my detectives working but...

Edward Fletcher said...

then we need to see the crime scene *appears in a snowstorm*

Willow Storm said...

I can't wait for Sunday! :D

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

They already have looked! Its only her blood they know high levels of magic were used....Teleporter

Dragona Pine said...

Kidnapping is pointless. If they want to kill you they would do it straight away.
And neither would they spill unnecessary blood. If they were going to kidnap you they wouldn't draw blood as it would put your hostage's life at risk.
They would only take a hostage for their own gain - for example to be paid to let them go.
So since they both took her AND spilled her blood it is more likely that they killed her and disposed of her body.

Ok, not helping.

Star Inkbright said...

Gemma, I listen to metal music. The only pop band I like is Little Mix, and they're awesome.

So, um, Little Mix are awesome.

And . . . I also realise that everybody likes different things. I kiterally cannot comprehend why people can hste some bands (seriously. I don't. I don't see how they cannot comprehend how awesome it is, even if that awesomeness is not for then). It's hard for me to keep quiet and not argue when mt brain tells me thst OBVIOUSLY I will win the argument at some point. And I'm not saying I always manage. But I try. So I'd appreciate ir if you also try to keep quiet about things you can't comprehend, as I love Mara very much, dhe loves 1D very much, and 1D literakly save lives.
And mayne ome day you'll get it. I get why 1D are awesome now, and I'm not a Directioner. I tgink it takes patience. :)

Hi Willow.

*clears her throat, coming down from the tree, rubbing her eyes* I could really go for a drink about now

Mara Niccolo and Fletcher....and I dunno I hardly count and Jayla may be able to

Edward Fletcher said...

then what about the blood, you say that it contains magic, yes?

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Mara* I want to say something, but I don't know what to say, so *hugs*

*hugs Gemma* I'm sorry. I din't think you were expectimg this explosion . . . :/

OKAY! Yes. I don't think I'll be here long enkugh to.involve myself in the Alexis kidnapping.plot, Zaf, sorry. :( I said it to Rhydian yesterday with his Shade - you're not the obly one [so let them criticise].

Dragona Pine said...

... wait. Wait wait wait wait wait.


I don't understand.


Is this a discussion/argument (judging by the amount of swearing) about music?

You realise how silly it is?

It doesn't MATTER. Everyone likes their own thing and should be left to it. I don't give a crap what people like as long as they DO like it. If it helps them, if they find that they like something, then there's no problem to it.

Music, in the grand scheme of things, means absolutely nothing. Neither does money or any material possession. But what does matter is the feeling that having those things brings. It doesn't matter what people have or what they like for as long as it makes them happy.

But I will say one thing, and I mean it in society in general. People said that teenagers in the 1960s were enslaved by corporate media. BUT I think in the 21st Century it has gone off the chain. People are just like sheep. They like the same things, they do the same things.

And this could be referring to either side of the argument because it is meant to, I have none of you in mind when I say this. But it's better to break the 'norm' and think what you actually think rather than being captured by companies who see certain things as a good way to cash in.

Because that happens a LOT. And I'm not part of it because I think it's incredibly stupid.

Edward Fletcher said...

If it isn't what I thought it was people SERIOUSLY need to stop swearing, especially about matters so silly.Because it sounds really angry. As far as I know I'm older than everyone who is on atm and I don't swear that much.

Mara, I wasn't saying anything bad about them or you. I feel really close to you and getting closer as the week goes on. I like their songs, but I like all music so thats not much of a compliment. I wasn't saying they're ugly, I just dont understand why some girls fantasize over people like that.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: I am sorry, but I do not beliece that eveeyone making.music does it just for the money.
You might as well say that about writers. I don't believe that awesome writers couldn't make somehing so amazing without caring about it and putting passion and love into it. Same with music.

But I agree that no possession means anything; it's the feelings generated that matter.

And - swear words are just words. They're only sewn as bad bcause people assoviate bad things with them. Not using them just becaise of tgat is diwcrimination. How would you feel if you were hated by everyone, your friends and family and all, just because you were Sorted into Slytherin? Ot's not your fault! The Sorting Hat did it!
I don't believe ib discrimination. FUCK discrimination. FUCK IT, FUCK IT, FUCK IT!
*dances around swearing*

My mum was discussing rules once with this yiuth.club (she was a youth worker). And she was getting them to maje the rules, because that is a really good way to do things and people are more likely to honour said rules. And the young people were saying, do you mind if we swear? And they discussed that there were different ways of swearing, and said that if you dropped something.on your toe and went SHIT!, that would be okay, but that if you used bad language at people, insilting them, that wasn't okay.
And that's what my mum believes.
Personally, if people want to insult me, I don't mind what words they use to do it with. The meaning is the same anyway. *shrugs* It makes no didferent to me whether I am insulted with swear woeds or milder language.
I generally do my best not to insult people anyway, so you know.

Mara- don't go because of what Gemma says or what anyone says. We love you're want you here- your lovely fangirlyness. It is wonderful.

Star Inkbright said...

@Trip: Then there are new villains, obviously. :)

Okay. I'll try to.email Mara, all you lot start roleplauing.

@Gemma: It*s okay. *hugs* Sorry for springing in yiur face.
I feel bad coz we attacked you, but I don't want 1D to be insulted because Maraness, so I'm sitting on the fence again. :P

Noelle said...

Did you just quote Twilight, Zaf?


And we did, Trip... We did.


(MARA PLEASE DON'T GO. )

Alastair Cruciatus said...

We're all grieving, lost and bleeding...

We're all exhausted. We're all a the end of our respective ropes. If I could, I would have left by now, or just not said anything after I ghosted today. Anyway, bottom line- I don't think any of us can take much more of this. Just... Please come back, Mara. And I'm not blaming you for anything. NOTHING IS YOUR FAULT. I'm just asking you to come back. Please. Can we just try to all be happy? Or at least content with each other?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I agree with Ari and Adra I didnt try to lol when i was in 5th and 6th grade i obsessed over Twilight...now i just view it as hey its a book and movie cool!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Thanks, Star, but I can't just start roleplaying. Everybody else can, that's fine, but I can't do anything until I hear something from Mara.

That happens... The heat of the moment. I hope she comes back.

I also sent her an email... I guess we'll just have to see.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh first...

I dedicate this page to people not leaving. Its agrivating now! I can only hold so much inside me before I just lose it on one of you! I wish people would stop getting all emotional and leave for stupid reasons ok not cool. So I ded to PEACE ok? And to Mara who better come back

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*superawesomezaffytackles Ari* I will tie you and Niccolo to a bed!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

At least she hopefully knows we care...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*salutes*

*hums*

This will be quite boring, with no bad guy...

Star Inkbright said...

Great ded, Zaf! *hugs*

I'm sorry about your plot getting pushed to the side right after it started. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf, I 100% understand what you're saying, but I don't really think it will help to tell people they're leaving for 'stupid reasons'. People leave because they're feeling genuinely hurt, no matter how trivial their problem may seem to someone else. Again, I understand how you feel, but I think phrasing it a little differently would do more good. So many people already feel guilty as is.

Bye then, Fabi... *hugs*

Why

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

What did we do? I've never been threatened with that before, actually...

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah I know Star its frustrating I swear i try to do one thing on my own and somehow it gets pushed to the side by another plot or this...but im used to waiting

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

To cheer you up! *shadow walks to my treehouse and ties Ari to the spare bed* go make mini Coco's!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I have to go do my homework- back in 10-30 minutes. I love you all! *hugs everyone tightly, even if you're not actually here. That means you!*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

K Ari! Dont be long or Zaffy gotta flip

Chione Asahina said...

I apologize for ruining your roleplay Zaf. If I knew mara felt that strongly that she would have left u wouldn't have came on at all. I dont mean to hurt any of you. I usually make people cheer up, not be the one upsetting someone. Mara, your friends want you back, I'm sorry. Im not expecting any of you to be nice to me but you have, ever since I came back

Just had to say that before I left, sorry.

Noelle said...

Vale.

*takes another sip, rocking slightly and pulling her hands behind her head*

But... This could be nice

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*waits quietly*

Noelle said...

((Bye Gemma?))

*lays there quietly, taking a sip every few moments*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*paces waiting for more information* oh...I hope..she's okay...

Alexis: *is chained staring at Jayla* What did I do to you?!

Jayla: nothing dear i needed you so I could get your brother or mother...*gently cuts her cheek with a knife* you'll survive but I have my own job *cuts a pattern in her cheek* excellent

Noelle said...

*slips off into a short nap*

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: WHAT???

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!
PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE WHEN I DON'T HAVE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES!!!!!!!!!

(I mean, they're not allowed to leave ANYWAY, but at least I can still talk on email)

Look. I can't say I love you, because I haven't known you that long, but I like you, and so far you have shown me no reason NOT to love you (I just only love people when I've known them longer. No offense. It's nothingto do with you).

You're awesome. I'm really worry if you were given the impression that we thought otherwise.

We love Bloglandians, which is why we were being for Mara and 1Dness. But if you ever need being for, we'll be here for you. :/
Because you're awesome.

Please don't leave because you feel you wrecked things. You didn't.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*sorry

Not worry.

Edward Fletcher said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Holy shit my mother is having surgery next month :/

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: O_O
*hugs*
Why? But you don't have to say if you don't want.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

She has this thingy on her foot that has to be shaved and the surgery itself shaves the thingy down but she's out of work 2-8 weeks

Dragona Pine said...

I'm back for a moment.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: :O
Well, good luck for her surgery, then, I suppose. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

((I hope she will be alright, Zaf. When the time comes- we'll be here for you))

*wakes up with a scream, tumbling out of the hammock and onto the forest floor fifteen feet below, landing on her ass, shattering it*
*coughs*
*hoarsely* Ow

Dragona Pine said...

Star, I didn't mean that every piece of music is made for money. There have been and... Well there are a lot less of them now, but there have been artists whose songs were packed with so much energy and feeling that it just became one of the most recognisable sounds in the entire history of music.
But then there are those who fire off songs which sound 99.99% the same as the last one they released, because they know that people will buy them.

The best way to explain it is with Fifa. Fifa is the same game every single year. All that changes are the squads and the kit of the players but otherwise they're exactly the same as the one from the year previously.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I believe Jayla took Alexis?

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

And btw I was not saying about any artists particularly, but just music atm in general. Music since like 1990 has gone downhill fast in quality and substance.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hello?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You think Trip?

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Trip! How are you?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*looks at the broken glass, but no cuts*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*gets to work with the crystal ball*
