Mystery Project One

A few weeks ago, I outlined my writing schedule for the next year or so. Included in this outline were Mystery Project numbers two, three and four. I never mentioned Mystery Project One, because that had already been completed. Today, I am finally allowed to talk about it...

This year is the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. To celebrate, Puffin Books asked eleven different authors to take a Doctor and write a story. When I was asked, I said I'd only do it if I could write for the tenth or eleventh incarnation. Puffin gave me Ten. I was a happy bunny.

It was such a joy to write this character. As you all know, I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid, and David Tennant holds joint top-spot with Matt Smith as my favourite Doctor. In my opinion, it was Tennant's era when the Doctor's love of dialogue really came out— that quick-fire patter that he does so well — and it was an absolute pleasure to channel that.

The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage will be released as an e-book on October 23rd (my birthday! Skulduggery's deathday!) and then it, along with the other stories, will be collected into a PHYSICAL book which will be out near the end of November.

There will be a video released in a week or two where I talk more about it, but in the meantime, here's a link to a snippet (which explains where the somewhat old-fashioned title comes from...)

  24. ☂Btw, Mith, what I wanted to say when I was complaining about not having any Mycroft-shipper friends and you said that now I had you but then I had to go after that was:☂

    ☂I'm really really happy that I met you because otherwise I'd feel much more alone... and having somebody I can share this weird shippiness with is wonderful and you're awesome <3☂

    Just because I need a confirmation, what did you need your recreational products for?

  34. Sherlock: Mycroft! You don't really want me to beg, do you? Even you would not be that cruel.

  37. I do not want you to beg. I want you to shut up and find yourself a better use of time than using drugs.

    ☂I actually get very angry when people call me weird or crazy... don't ask me why...☂

    ☂☂shrugs☂☂

    ☂If I call people I like crazy, it's because they're awesome. If I call people I dislike crazy, it's because I truly hate them.☂

    ReplyDelete
  38. Sherlock: Since when do you care?

    ReplyDelete
  39. @Ember: *tilts head* That's interesting.

    You see, because you use it as an insult, it seems like an insult to you. Because I see it as a compliment, I see it as a compliment. :)

  40. (I usually laugh at people who say I was crazy. And then I tell them "I know!")

    ReplyDelete
  41. ☂I use it as an insult only because it's insulted me so much I have anger fits for hours....☂

    ☂It's mostly because of one person, though, who uses that word to make me look bad in front of other people so she can be more popular.☂

    ☂☂sighs☂☂

    Since you were born, unfortunately. Don't fret. I'm working on fixing that. I have someone new to care about.

    ReplyDelete
  44. ☂She makes me really angry, that girl...☂

    ☂She wants to compete with me all the time, and there are some things I can do quite well, so she pushes herself to no end to cry and be better than me all the time.☂

    ☂She's not better than me.☂

    ☂She's come close, but she won't be. Nothing to do with me--she's really not good at this thing.☂

    ☂So she likes to show everyone how stupid and crazy I am and then snuggle up to them and compliment them and I just wish that I could make her STOP DOING IT, FOR GOD'S SAKE☂

  48. (*hugs Ember* She will never be as good as you! No one could be like you!)

    Sherlock: Of course.

    ReplyDelete
  49. @Ember: *shrugs* Well . . . if she needs to be popular that badly, then she's probably feeling pretty insecure herself, so you should probably feel sorry for her . . . also, random people don't matter. If you know yourself that you're not crazy and don't deserve to be insulted, then at least you can feel safe and superior in that knowledge, and also . . . having everyone liking you is impossible. It's good that you realise that.

    "Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool
    But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud, SO FUCK YOU"

    Love that line. :)

    Ooh, and this verse from another song . . . *goes looking for it*

    "I don't wanna do this anymore
    Everything's shit - everything's been taken
    Forsaken - gotta start it over coz I'm hearing it backwards
    Don't make sense - don't feel better
    Who's better? It's not that simple
    You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
    It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy
    Draw your conclusions, solutions
    Anybody else wanna run?
    Contorting, distorting - I am undone
    One less propaganda nightmare fixture
    Are you getting the picture?"

    . . . And it just makes me smile because of its awesomeness. :)

  87. My tree I'm drawing reminds me of those swirly rainbow lollipop things. C:

    It went wrong a bit, but I foxed it. The rainbow also kind of sloped sideways up on of the main branches, which was/is fairly worrying, but I think it looks okay. I could maybe have planned for the spilt better, but meh.


    Also - the little branch that goes behind a large one is looking decidedly behind-like, so that's good. :) It was looking a bit TOOOOO 2D. Still looks very 2D, but meh, at least you can tell which branch is where.

    Still have the fear it'll turn out to be a tangled rainbow mess. :P

  115. Ah that's why... yes it used to be Tanith and Valkyrie Lover.

    ReplyDelete
  116. The previous sentence said 'room' twice in differnet contexts, which was too overloaded for one sentence, but the first (and only) alternative to the verb version that springs to mind is 'space', and that rhymes with pace! :P

    And the first alternative of the noun version that springs to mind is 'living space', which also rhymes with pace! :P

    *thinks*

    "Maybe I should tidy my living area so I have enough room to pace."

    That works. :)

    AWESOME.
    IT'S SO AWESOME.
    DOCTOR WHO.
    AND THE TENTH DOCTOR.
    I know this'll be done awesomely, because you write awesomely, and Doctor Who is awesomely, so it fits rather(very) well. :3
    Congratulations, also, on the opportunity. :)

    Also, I was REALLY struggling to breathe before I saw the post. And then I did and I read it and ouch.
    But I was feeling pretty low, so this way good, also, on that level. In addition to the obvious other levels. And, yeah. :)
