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.
oh my god am i first
ReplyDeletestill have to order the book, so i'm hoping i don't run into any spoilers
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten the book yet, but I just want to say, Derek, that I've been an Ameriminion for YEARS, and I've got all your books, including jumping through a lot of hoops to get the one for world book day. I follow your blog, though I've never commented on it before, so you don't know I exist, and all my friends hate me because I never stop yapping about Skulduggery Pleasant. You're awesome, Derek, and I always enter all the contests on the website.
ReplyDeleteAmeriminion out!
4th!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome cake! :D I want it *-*
ReplyDeleteSIXTH!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay read post time
ReplyDeleteI remember when I read the first book. I was expecting a nice, innocent little series about the magical adventures of Stephanie and her skeleton friend. Why did you have to warp it until it became a traumatising story of characters you love being killed off without a second thought...
ReplyDeleteYAY THANK YOU DEREK

ReplyDeleteOh good my mother was seriously questioning my sanity after I complained that we needed a 'fresh post'.
ReplyDelete*laughs evilly*
I can't believe there's only one more left to go... It's going to be an unhappy ending isn't it...? Because that's what you like doing Derek... The world will be saved but out heroes and heroines will be left to rot somewhere...
ReplyDelete*giggles at Dau*
ReplyDelete:P
DEREK said we can continue the Requiem here.
AFTERPARTIES GALORE, Y'ALL
I said this on the last post and I don't think people saw:

Being Ez and Hunter takes a lot of being very not distant. :P Which is why they're not here. Might bring them on, though.

I'm not through the book yet, though I had LSODM since last monday. It takes me a little longer to read because I have to look up some words in the dictionary. (I'm German....)
ReplyDeleteBut what I've already read is awesome and shocking at once, exactly what the Golden God said...
Is there any signing in Germany soon?
I still owe Croatoan a dance from last night....DEREK STILL NEEDS TO COME ON AND DANCE WITH A CERTAIN ELDER BEFORE SAID ELDER HAS A STERN TALK ON SATURDAY
ReplyDeleteI swear to the god that I don't believe in that if any of you fuckers spoil this book for me I will never speak to you again.
ReplyDeleteLittle shits.

You know, before this Ball, I hated dresses.
ReplyDeleteBut I've been having so much fun tripping over that I've decided I kind of like long ball dresses like this. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
YAY I GOT A DANCE
ReplyDelete•shoots paint everywhere•
I STILL HATE NON-TRIPPING DRESSES THOUGH!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBookNine
Dau- yes.
ReplyDeleteI got it yesterday and my mum is amazing and let me have the day of school to read it. <3 HOW AWESOME IS THAT! A DAY O SCHOOL TO READ SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT!
and now im- no im not going to tell you how im feeling. because that would be a spoiler.
BOTH, DAU!

ReplyDelete@Star: I always loved long skirts and dresses...
*hides from water ever is happening*
ReplyDeleteHi everyone!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
@Eld: . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth.
Why???
My mum would NEVER let me do that.
Okay, she DOES let me have the rest of the afternoon off when I have denist appointment, and she does let me stay off school when I'm sick until it's certain I'm better (this sounds obvious, but my friend threw up one morning and was driven into school even though she was already late EVEN THOUGH she was still feeling absolutely terrible, beacuse she wasn't allowed the day off even though she had THROWN UP), and, yeah.
*has totally forgotten what I was saying*
#ChgaseForBookNine
I have to go to the airport and go on a plane in an hour...
ReplyDeleteI hate flying ;( it's uncomfortable and scary
LEWIS!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling better???
Wait, Lewis, the ball is technically over, but can I dance with you?
ReplyDelete@Zaf: :( I hope you feel better soon . . .
ReplyDelete@Ember: THen yay for you. :)
@Ember: Well BUY HEADPHONES! :)
I love my headphones. :)
Or buy more earphones.
EARPHONES ARE GOOD AT BREAKING.

Yay and yay, Lewis!
ReplyDeleteRhydian! *hugs* Haven't seen you in ages :)
ReplyDelete*throws explodable paint balloons*
just pretend your teleporting Silver:)
ReplyDeleteInk- I didnt expect it at all :O
She was all looking for the book she wrapped it up and gave it to me and let me have a day of school. Im not sure whether to be excited and happy, or worried that something bad is happening...
Im enjoying the moment either way.
Zaf, are you ok? *is back*
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
Hi Dau! Good to see you again!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
hello aretha and lewis
ReplyDeleteYES I'M TELEPORTING BACK IN TIME TO THE BALL TO DANCE WITH LEWIS.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brave!
Hi Ari!
RHY! you change your name D: *huggles* still not as good as when you changhed to oswald and youll always be my clara.
ReplyDelete((Right can I just say-
ReplyDeletePeople are STILL SPOILING THINGS. I am so done right now.
First off: just because I'm in it doesn't mean that you get to deprive me of my first thoughts and excitement of reading it myself. Let me do that, even if you want to. You're being a dick.
Second: Even saying VAGUELY what happens without mentioning names is a spoiler because- HEY GUESS WHAT? I'M NOT STUPID AND I CAN MAKE INFERENCES DAMMIT.
Third: Don't spoil other character bits of my friends. I'm just as excited for them as for me.
Fourth: Fuck you if you do any of numbers 1-3.
Fifth- Your constant chatter about how good it was it how many emotions you have doesn't make the people who don't have it yet feet better. We get that you have emotions and we can be glad for you but that isn't making us feel better. There's a spoiler post for that.
Sixth: if you say something happened and then said you were joking, I will skin you and feed you to wild dogs because I now have to sit in agonising wait for the damn book to find out.
Seventh:
Don't spoil.
Don't even talk to me about a book.
At all,
I'm trying hard- as are many others, so don't spoil a single god damn thing.
I am not sorry for cursing- you all can deal with it.
That is all))
Ugh, missing school because of sick... *makes face* Last year was awful for me. I missed, like, 36 days, and another 10 days I came in really late. I eventually adopted a 3 throw-up rule, where I wouldn't go to the nurse to leave unless I'd already thrown up 3 times. I ended up teaching myself for, like, half the year, and I handed everything in late and my pile of unfinished tests was just endless... I am never getting sick again... ((before that year, I'd never missed more than a day every year))

Hi Eld! Lewis is my Given Name.

I just called her two different names •facepalm
ReplyDelete•hands everyone refreshments•
Hi Zaiya!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
hello lewis
ReplyDeleteWELL DID YOU HEAR ME EMBER
ReplyDeleteSORRY YOU GOT SPOILED BUT
DON'T TELL ME THE SPOILER THATW AS SPOILED TO YOU BECAUSE THAT'S STILL A SPOILER
Really?
ReplyDelete*looks at dress*
I guess it's alright...
HEY RHY!! *tacklehugs*
*huggles missy*
ReplyDeleteHI!
RHY- thats a pretty cool name. See your parents where inventable.
DAU- i was just about to ask you to respond to an email i havnt senty :D
stupid me.
Hey Ari! *hugs her* I am so pissed with myself I missed my oppurtunity to dance with Niccolo
ReplyDeleteHi Ed!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
*is scrolling through past comments* Ugh, overpowering... Do you guys think Niccolo is overpowered/god-modded/whatever-you-happen-to-call it? I figured the weaknesses he has make up for the names, and the names do have some limitations (which is why he mostly just sticks to a few), but it's still sketchy... Thoughts?
ReplyDelete#Chaseforbook9
Adra
ReplyDeleteI literally have no idea what you just said
I think he's brooding. *nods*
ReplyDeleteOh I just got what you said
ReplyDeleteWell people dying was inevitable
And you don't know who my least face or fave is
ReplyDeleteI missed the opportunity to change into a different dress •sulks•
ReplyDeleteHEY ELD!! *tacklehugs*
ReplyDeleteDamn, gotta shower and stuff.
Bbs!
Yes but now we're all guessing *hisses*
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
no more on book.
ReplyDeletegot it.
I wanna make a movie script.
i dunno why, but i want to re read the first book and make a sample movie script thing of the first few chapters and send it to derek and be like
'Make me your holy director cause im tottaly not a stalker from australia who is still in school or anything!'
thatd be awesome.
Right- just drop it.
ReplyDeleteHi Lewis.
ReplyDeleteQuickly before I poof:
ReplyDelete@Eld: Are you by any chance going to a writers thingy tomorrow in Freo???
•flails•
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm sorry guys I'll shut up
NO MISSY DON'T POOF!
ReplyDeleteYOU JUST GOT HERE!
(Retrieving umbrellas)
I think sometimes he is a bit god-like but usually I'm fine I think he is fine how he is because like any person who knows their true name the name is gonna cause problems we saw it clearly with Alastair but maybe when he's on every once in a while a name could break the barrier and try to take over even briefly we all know Niccolo's self control is amazing so like me he would regain control easily but still it'd be cool to see him have some issues with names where we can see it ourselves
ReplyDeleteNo. sorry Cain :(
ReplyDeleteill be at hockey tomorow.
sadly. yet hapily.
... yeah.

ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9

ReplyDeletethats very cool.
*sits down* I feel suddenly light-headed....I should mever have said I would kiss Coco
ReplyDeleteSeptember, even if you say someone has died or anything. That's still a spoiler because I'm still reading the book and no one has died on me yet.
ReplyDeleteJust everyone please be vigilant. You will know when someone has finished the book because they will either ask you, can we talk about the book.
Just please... or Adra will kill you lol

shhhh.
no.
*pats zaf again*
there there
Well, there's an opening for names to break through for as long as we're not linked. And if I'm unconscious. Aside from that, though, I've been successful at keeping them back. Some of them are actually really great people, though- precious few, but they're in there- so he might even just let them out now and then.

i think i need to sleep now. im going insane. NIGHT EVERYONE HOPEFULLY ILL BE MARRIED TO MYSELF BY MORNING.

I'd like to meet one of the good ones maybe...that would give him control back...not during the parties though because I still kinda owe him a dance from last night...*nods*
ReplyDelete*walks towards exploding reactor core on spaceship orbiting the earth*
ReplyDeleteBye Eld!
ReplyDeleteBut of course everyone's favourite is the worst one. Naturally.
Jesus we're weird.
SPEAKING OF
YOU STILL OWE ME THAT STORY
EVEN IF ITS SLOPPILY PUT TOGETHER I JUST WANNA KNOW *cries*
*rewires core so it misses earth, flames swallowing the ship*
ReplyDeleteOmfg Ed what
ReplyDelete*wanders back on, eating Skittles*
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyyyy :3
*shrugs* We've spoken with them, every now and then. One of them tried to hide me when Alastair stole my consciousness. That didn't work so well, obviously, but it's the thought that counts, right? And this is another part of the reason Niccolo feels so guilty all the time- a few of the names he stole deserved great things, much better than what they got. His ability to turn others to stone with earth comes from a guy who spent his whole life- hundreds of years- intensely researching earth magic, working on a way to reverse its effects so he could bring people back. And then one day somebody comes and steals his name and traps him with all these sadistic monsters and uses his power to hurt people. That... You know, it's not so fun to think about.

CAIN
ReplyDeleteSLEEP, WOMAN
(may not be back for a few weeks)
ReplyDeleteOh. Well, we'll miss you, Ed! Make sure you come back!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
Ed? *hugs* Okay...
ReplyDelete(i have today and then i go though. i will try to return)
ReplyDelete☂Wbd, just in case you hadn't guessed.☂
ReplyDeleteOh! On a random note, I've realized that if I died, in real life, for whatever reason (not that I'm planning anything, just, you know, life is precious and shouldn't be taken for granted), you guys would have no way of knowing. So unless I say that I'll be gone for a month or longer, if I haven't said anything to any of you guys in a month, assume I'm dead.
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
Okay Ed... We'll miss you!!
ReplyDeleteOh I always wondered how he turned my leg and fingers to stone...i mean I thought because I have no trace of Elemental magic in my body it wouldnt work...I always wondered.
ReplyDeleteHi/bye to anyone who has arrived/left! I am having issues keeping track at the moment, sorry!
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
Aretha...
ReplyDeleteOh my god.
"Just assume that I'm dead" the twisted side of me is forcing me to laugh to hard right now.
Sorry.
I figure that if I died I'd make my mom tell Val who would tell you guys because my mom has Val's mom's number and she knows to burn me with skulduggery pleasant
(this is my leaving now) *ships burns through the wreckage drifting through space* goodbye, for a while
ReplyDeleteSLEEP IS FOR THE WEAKKKKKKKKKKK
ReplyDelete(although I really do need to get to bed earlier :/)
Wbd, looking for new backgrounds, then I'll sleep. Maybe.
Bye Edward! *waves*
ReplyDeletegods, we have to tell Snow.
☂Oh my god, Adra, I had the exact same thought a couple of days ago.☂
ReplyDeleteNo, it's fine. You can laugh. I'm sort of comfortable with the idea of death, myself. Not that I'd wish it upon myself, just- I understand it'll happen someday, somehow, and I really can't take any day I spend alive for granted. And I think death can be a fun thing to laugh at, at the right time. You're good. :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't know I talk to you guys this much, so... Yeah, they know I have a group of people I write fanfic with, and that we talk sometimes, but definitely not this much.
Bye, Ed! We'll all miss you!! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Vinette would tell you guys if I died and I told my mother to bury me with my SP books and the picture of Ravel on the trading card :P and I told her to mention I would end up haunting Derek in his sleep, I say that because I may die from LSODM...
ReplyDelete☂Okay, if you don't here from me in a week, I'm dead, because I always come on here when I stopover or when I land.☂
ReplyDeleteAh.
ReplyDeleteMy mom know all about you guys.
*laughs* yeah... I TELL her STORIES
She fangirls about SP because I basically have told her everything and she fangirls over my fangirl and ARGH. IT IS GREAT
Marina would probably tell you guys if I was dead, but I'm not going to rely on her to do that because I think it'd be sort of mean, and I don't want her to have to. So yeah, if no one has heard from me in a month, just assume. Unless I said I'd be gone.
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
HEAR
ReplyDeleteIf my mom knew I was on here or that I wrote fanfictions, she'd never forgive me.
ReplyDeleteEW. Buried. How about no.
ReplyDeleteI want to be cremated, tossed off a cliff in India into a river or something, scatter in the wind,
Then I want my other half to be shot out into space with Gene Roddenberry
I was going to make it two weeks, but I do become insanely busy sometimes- like, really insanely busy- and I'm pretty sure at the end of last year I disappeared for more than two weeks, and I wasn't dead. So it's a month.
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
If she knew I was on the ☂☂☂INTERNET☂☂☂, for that matter.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are lucky.
We talk about death and I'm the only Necromancer on I think...*has hand go to my necklace*
ReplyDelete*calmly dances lightly on her feet across the terrace, humming a slow tune*
ReplyDelete☂I want my head to be buried, my arms to be cremated and put in lockets for my loved ones, and the rest of me to be used for scientific experiments.☂
ReplyDeleteMy parents think it's great that I have a dedicated fanfic group. But I'm not sure they'd be comfortable with exactly how close I am to some of you, just for my own safety, because internet safety and all that.
ReplyDelete#ChaseforBook9
((Ahem I'm the only Alchemist- WOOHOO. And yeah if I were to die, I wouldn't care. I don't want to die, but if I were to, it wouldn't be a big deal))
ReplyDelete((How do you all know we aren't already dead and our dreams and stories are from our former lives in different places?))
ReplyDelete*tackles Ari* Well I know if I ever get the chance I'm driving to where you live! *grins* I gotta meet the epc person who created Niccolo...even if I can never date him
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fanfic... You guys have literally no idea how much Nikola Tesla happens when no one is watching (just talking and thinking to each other and it's actually sort of fluffy in a dark way a lot of the time), and I just think it's so hilarious, because so many people ship it now, and they haven't even seen, like, anything. (And no, I don't mean we've been kissing each other or anything like that. I mean, did you see him last night? Yeah no. But there was so much fluff and I never write fluff and you guys just missed it all because you didn't even know it was there!!)
ReplyDelete#ChaseForBook9
Ari....please....I feel my heart crushing further

I do have a lot to live for, though- things to accomplish, people to talk to, and all that- so if I had the choice I'd fight hard to keep my life. But if I lost it, you know, I'd be ok with that. Death is just a thing that happens, and you can't stop it. I'm not ok with suicide, though, and I'd be a total wreck if any of my friends died. So don't any of you get ideas. *stares pointedly at Death* *doesn't care that she's not here*))

Preach.
ReplyDelete*nods*
*stops dancing for a moment to look up at the sky*
Its like how we Necromancers believe, death is part of life. I was taught early on as a child (ooh if you knew who taught Zaf in the Temple it'd br shocking)
ReplyDelete((I meant that OOC- sorry, Zaf!! *hugs*))
ReplyDeleteBye, Cain!
Zaf, I can just imagine if we met- Niccolo would be talking in my head and I'd just be, like, a translator. I probably wouldn't even say any more to you than 'hi' and 'bye' and 'you're so awesome', and I'd spend the whole time telling you what he was saying. XD

I'll be there to record it all
ReplyDeleteLol! I am surprised Niccolo would talk to me...*blushes* He is...oh I cant say it I can but...we all know i like him so its shocking he'd get you to translate
ReplyDeleteYESSSS!! And then we'd all go in the pool and play volleyball (pool volleyball is so fun because everyone gets way too into it), and then we'd make s'mores over the fire pit, and then eat them in the hot tub. By the way, I'm so hosting one of the afterparties, and that's what we're going to do in it. I'll give you guys a picture of my yard and everything. :)

Of course he'd talk to you! He'd be thrilled to talk to any of you! He doesn't come here because I force him to, you know. I mean, he did initially, but not anymore.

Okay lol that's cool. *laughs*
ReplyDeleteAnd if we get mugged I'll proudly scream and run behind you!
I kid, scream in surprise, then beat some shit up because I have magic Southern powers
Oh! Well he still itrigues me! Always does you know Ari you need Skype so we can Skype! We have to it is a must *grins* I probably would terrify Niccolo he would never have guessed what I look like
ReplyDeleteIs the Ball still on? *twirls unsurely*
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I was joking about giving spoilers. I would never talk about it until maybe three months after. Maybe. I probably shouldn't even joke about it, though, I can understand how frustrating it is to make sure no one becomes a selfish idiot in front of your virtual face. :P
Or google hangouts... ^.^
ReplyDeleteAnd okay Eve :)
If we get mugged I will beat the mugger to the ground and tear his/her eyes out and maybe bite his/her ear off and part of his/her neck and cause a lot of bone-shattering, muscle-tearing, tendon-snapping damage to whoever it was, because I've been learning how to do such things for four years now, and this year I get to start teaching! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have Skype... We could do the google thing, though.
