As was recently pointed out to me, "Nerdy Dalek" is an anagram of my name, so I suppose it's only fitting that my birthday should be the day my Doctor Who story comes out on ebook. The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage is a Tenth Doctor adventure and I had unimaginable fun writing it. For those of you who don't read ebooks, fret not- a physical book, containing all eleven stories by eleven writers, will be arriving late next month.
Ah yes, my birthday. I am 39 today. Some people might worry about reaching that age — just one more birthday till 40, after all. But not me. I shall live forever. And I don't mean in a metaphorical sense. I don't mean I'll live forever in the hearts and minds of my readers. I mean I will literally live forever, drawing as I do from your pain and suffering.
Your pain makes me strong.
Today is the day I knuckle down and officially start Book 9. I've been writing bits and pieces of it for the last few weeks — I've got close to 10,000 words done — but today it kicks off properly. October 23rd is, of course, the day Skulduggery died, hundreds of years ago. Once again, I think it's only fitting that I begin his final book on such a date. Poignant, even.
Sniffle.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4985 Newer› Newest»☂I'm watching one of the videos now... this is so... strangely weirdly awesome...☂
☂Are you kidding? This is COOL.☂
Ooh! Which one?
#ChaseForBook9
☂I'm watching the crystallize one because it's the first thing that popped up...☂
☂☂puts official stamp of approval on computer screen☂☂
Oh, yeah, that's the dubstep one. I may or may not have seen them all... XD I'm glad you like her.
#ChaseForBook9
☂I'm watching the shadows one now...☂
☂Thank you for introducing me to this!☂
Sure! A friend of mine (my Sherlock friend, actually) introduced me to her a while ago, and I thought she was cool, and then when I figured out you were a violin god I made a mental note to tell you about her, but I kept forgetting.
#ChaseForBook9
☂See? Sherlock fans are all awesome.☂
☂☂huggles Ari☂☂
☂Mental notes are stupid. You only remember them when you don't need to!☂
Yeah, that's true, actually. I would have forgotten again, but her songs were stuck in my head.
#ChaseForBook9
☂I AM VERY GLAD YOU DIDN'T FORGET.☂
☂☂nods☂☂
☂☂rolls over and yawns☂☂
☂So what have you been up to lately?☂
Eh, not much. I need to write more. And I need to figure out how to be happier. And I need to figure out how to be more productive/efficient with my time. And I've missed reading your epic Sherlock roleplays. You?

January 19
Sherlock Series 3: The Empty Hearse
Mark your calendars!
☂@Anni: I KNOW!!!!!!! :D☂
☂@Anni: Although I had been hoping it would come out on my Blogversary, because that was a rumour, but oh well :(☂
☂@Ari: Heehee, thanks <3 And figuring out how to be happy is difficult, because to really get it you have to not think about it and just keep going and doing what you need to do no matter what emotion you have.☂
☂Oh, and for that more productive thing, I'm having the same problem, so you're not alone. :p☂
☂I just did a post on something XD☂
http://umbrellasandsuch.blogspot.co.at/2013/10/i-love-gizoogle-so-much.html
(Aw, that's cool. I was too lazy to make a proper post so i just posted some haikus on my blog . . .)
There's no real way to be 'happier' Ari, but you can be more content. For as Buddhism teaches, it's wanting things that causes suffering. Being happy is a lot easier when you don't strive towards nigh-unreachable goals. Sure, setting targets and working towards them is sensible, if not entirely necessary, but being calm is, for me, the path to perfect happiness.
If that makes sense.

☂☂points to what Trip said☂☂
Ah! Hello, Trip!
I haven't seen you in a while!
Yeah, I've been away. I still am, but I decided to pop by.
#ChaseForBook9
Also, hey.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, I'm glad to know you're okay.

My DreamSelfy has a fabulous hat indeed . . .
*runs into the bar and returns with a superior hat to Annika's*
#ChaseForBook9
Trip! *tackleuhgs* Ohmygosh I haven't seen you in forever!!!!!!!! Gah!!!!!!!!! *hugs tightly* Wow! Hi! *hugs again* We were starting to worry, actually, but here you are! Yay!
Anni- I left you an Osmosis poem at the bottom of the previous page, if you feel like reading it. I mean, it's not mine, but I put it there. Anyway.
Msd.

Oh my gosh, Aretha, that made my day. It's perfect! And I love the fact that that ship is called Osmosis, that makes me so ridiculously happy . . .
*pulls magnificent hat out of space-time continuum*
*tips it aggressively*
☂How do you know I can't see you, Trip?☂
☂☂waggles eyebrows☂☂
Ah, you should never worry for me. But it's nice to know you did. But still. Don't.
#ChaseForBook9
☂☂pokes Trip☂☂
I was attempting to memorize it (I'm about 4/5 done) and I was like, hey, this is basically Osmosis in a nutshell. So I put it here. Also, typing it out helped me memorize more of it. I'm very glad that you're happy!
As far as trying to be happier- there are a few things that are actively upsetting me, and what I mean by trying to be happier is eliminating those things. And I know what you mean about acceptance/contentment, and I agree with it, but at the same time I also think that life is too short to just accept everything, and that if you really want something you should take risks and just go after it, and if you stumble and fall and break and end up sadder than you were before, at least you tried, and you did something with your life, and you felt things. Feelings are important. So I kind of have paradoxical philosophies, but they're not actually entirely paradoxical, they just seem that way. And yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
Because I'm in an airtight concrete box in space waiting to be picked up by Martian collaborators.
*pulls a clone of Annika's hat from the space time continuum and tips it aggressively in the same fashion*
#ChaseForBook9
Happy birthday, DEREK! I know that your birthday was yesterday but... um... even if it is a delayed Happy birthday, it still IS a Happy birthday. And I am getting confused now... So... I hope you had a great day, yesterday!
☂Okay, well then in that case, get rid of whatever it is as fast as you can and you'll be in good shape. :)☂

☂I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN YEAAAAARS☂
Hello, Mithria!
I am thrilled to know you're well!
Eh, my life philosophy basically "Stiff upper lip old chap!", apart from all the universe contemplation and deep thinking. Some things you've just got to take on the chin, other things need changing.
#ChaseForBook9
Heya Mith! *slices off the pheonix's head and attaches it to own hat, tips more aggressively*
#ChaseForBook9
I'm a Christian, so my philosophy is that any misfortune that befalls me is there to make me a better Christian, and if I let myself be beaten down, then I've failed in my purpose. I was born to be a survivor. I will survive.
. . .
I will survive.
As long as I know how ta love I know I'll stay alive.
I got all my life ta live.
And I got all my love to give.
And I'll survive.
I will survive.
I'm a survivor!

Hey Trip and Marissa!
Ember, it has been ONE day... but I feel the same, so... Heh.
Hi Anni! I'm fine, yes. Thanks! :D
I'm not really here, though... doing homeworky stuff, you know...

Ah-HA!
Sorry, Zaf isn't here right now. I took over her I Pad temporarily
- Marissa :D
Yeah, you're right, Ember^^
*nods* Yes, I am, Marissa.
*throws hat on the floor, and a towel* I'm throwing in the towel!
You win!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Anni, Ember, Zaf, Marissa, Trip, Mith, Ari, anyone else who may or may not be around...
It feels like I haven't actually spoken to any of you in ages...
#ChaseForBook9
☂I actually laughed out loud at the towel comment☂
*throws hat in the air in triumph*
I have won the great Hat Duel of 2013!
☂☂hugs Mavis☂☂
☂Well, you popped in to say that you were going to say something important... did you say it?☂
*receives golden trophy-hat*

I am both victorious and fabulous!
Oh, okay then Marissa. I feel like I should throw a pie in your face... A nice steak and ale pie... yes... mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

☂Anni, you read my mind XD☂
I'll get you next year!

I will look forward to the next hat duel.
*tips hat*
Heh.
Rubbish.
Yes. No. Maybe. Eventually. Never.
By the way... Trip, have you seen Adra yet?
#ChaseForBook9
Who wants a drink?
#ChaseForBook9
☂I will take that as a yes, Mossy.☂
*raises hand eagerly*
I do! I do!
☂MEEEE☂
Nop-e! But I replied to her email. 'salll good.
Well, she hasn't read it yet... But it's probably fine!
#ChaseForBook9
Then into the bar we go! *opens the door, holding it open*
#ChaseForBook9
Since the last time I bumped into Oscar I've been finding myself with a heightened taste for stiff drinks.
And that's saying something.
Its me again sorry we were at lunch and all so Marissa stole my iPad. She went to die in geometry. SHIZ i have a tet this period SERUOUS MSD
*strolls into the bar*
Thank you for holding the door, Trip!
Tests... oh God why...
#ChaseForBook9
History on the Lydians Hebrews and Pheonicians
(I am studying Social Justice right now and it's rather dull . . . though better than Sociology, I suppose.)
Technically I'm in a plane over the Atlantic, running from the law, but I could join the rest of you in a different layer of reality...
#ChaseForBook9
Sounds fun! I love history...
#ChaseForBook9
Oh right *tackles Trip* You are so getting hit *takes one of Niccolò's thesauri and hits* Ok there, now i'm good. May I have a drink?
Eh, this is blogland Fabi. There's so many planes of reality.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits down at the bar*
*takes off her lab coat*
*tucks it under her like a cushion*
*adjusts her trophy-hat*
Ah. Comfy at last.
*stands behind the bar* I'm now taking orders, what does everyone want?
#ChaseForBook9
*huggles Derek*
*sits quietly*
#ChaseForBook9
I've noticed, and I always seem to find myself on the wrong one...
Sorry... I'm feeling... Thoughtful this morning.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, Blogland is, after all, a world built entirely out of imagination. Case in point:
*produces demon llama from her waistcoat*
See?
*llama floats serenely away*
Imagination.
I would like a gin-and-tonic, please.
*places money on counter*
☂I should probably leave, I have a bunch of work to do :(☂
☂☂☂BYEEEEE☂☂☂
Oh. Goodbye, November!
*waves despondently*
You shall be missed by all.
*takes money* Indeed. I don't believe you were there at the time, but I once broke blogland with the power of my imagination. That's how I got the bar. *returns with a gin and tonic*
#ChaseForBook9
*shuffles in*
..uhh...so I totally haven't been completely absent from everywhere or anything...
....so, uh...hey? :P
See ya November!
#ChaseForBook9
"llama floats serenely away"
I'll admit, that was somewhat enjoyable to read. :) ^^
#ChaseForBook9
I've noticed that, too. But there's always more than one way to look at things, even in your own imagination. And in the imaginations of others...
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Taia, Flora. Would you like a drink?
#ChaseForBook9
*drinks slowly*
Thank you.
No, I don't believe I was here when that happened. I am very old, you know. I believe only Oscar and Niccolo are older than I. But I've been all over the various worlds and back again, so until recently, my time in Blogland was limited.
*drinks slowly*
Hi Flora! Hi Taia!
Bye Ember!
[hugs people]
#ChaseForBook9
...
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, hello, Flora.
I don't believe we met.
My name is Doctor Precocious. A pleasure, to be sure.
*tips hat*
Niccolò is oldest but cute....*goes red*
*opens mouth to say something to Zafira*
*shuts it*
*opens it again*
Age doesn't have any bearing on cuteness . . .
*turns pink*
*returns to her gin and tonic*
Hey, Flora! Good to see you. :)
How're you doing?
Hey, Trip - Not for me, but thanks for the offer. :)
Hiya Fabi! *hugs back* :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Taia!
It's good to see you.
(I may have to leave to have lunch in 15ish minutes . . .)
[Sighs]
I think I might just disappear...
#ChaseForBook9
I hope it's not because of us, Fabi!
We love you!
Yes please, Trip! Coffee, thanks :)
Hello everyone!
I'm good thanks, Taia. You? :)
And hello Doctor Precocious - pleasure to meet you.
I'm Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers. You can call me either Flora or Ophelia, or any variation of those names :)
Ah, come now Fabi. Come and talk to your old friend Trip. It's been months since we've had a proper conversation. What's on your mind?
#ChaseForBook9
*goes into bar* Tumblesoz?
Hey, Annika!
Oh? Thank you! It's good to see you, too. :)
It's good to see everybody, actually. My insides have been festering for near enough an hour, now. I feel better, for the ten minutes I've been sat here seeing words from you folk. Y'all are wonders and such. :)
#ChaseForBook9
*pops downstairs and returns with coffee for Flora*
#ChaseForBook9
*bows*
I have a grand introduction for myself, but I'm rather too bored to say it all right now. Suffice to say that I am a monster hunter of great renown and age, and I am very mature.
*points to trophy hat*
I won a Hat Duel earlier today. I won a trophy, which I wear proudly on my head.
*returns to gin and tonic*
*pours Zaf a shot of tumblesoz*
#ChaseForBook9
Ah! Zafira! How is my favorite Grand Mage doing today?
Come, have a drink.
It's because of my own head, Annika. Thanks, though. [hugs]
I really need to figure out what Tabitha's game is...
#ChaseForBook9
And I lost a hat duel earlier today.
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, I can help you with that! I'm very good at figuring out people's games! I do it all the time!
#ChaseForBook9
*passes Trip the money and takes shot and sits by Anni* I have a drink. I am tired I was up until 4am with a lovely case of religous hate crime on mortals....*sighs*
*takes coffee*
Cheers Trip :)
@Doctor Precocious: Oh awesome. I have a lot of respect for monster hunters :)
and totally cool hat, btw ;)
*huggles Fabi*
I hope you're doing okay. As I said previous-comment-ly, wonders and such - that's you, too. :)
@Flora: Good to hear. All in all, I'm alright, thanks. :)
#ChaseForBook9
You really don't need to hear it.
Now I realy should stop lowering the mood and such.
See you all later.
Oh, and I discovered something about FabiTC the other day... It helps with the fact that I can never decide on her age... And explains one of her phobias... Maybe I'll share it some time.
#ChaseForBook9
Overworked, eh? I know the feeling.
*drinks*
The problem with monster hunting is getting called up at all hours of the night. Really throws off your sleep schedule, particularly around Halloween. Most monster hunters have learned to be practically nocturnal.
*drinks*
Hold on, why is the American Sanctuary getting involved with Mortal crimes?
[hugs Taia]
I'm fine.
Just tired.
-42#ChaseForBook9
But I do Fabi!
#ChaseForBook9
Flora, you have just garnered my eternal respect.
*tips hat*
It IS rather fabulous, isn't it?
Ah, hate crime. We get about one or two cases a year in Scotland.
I know how it feels too. A high ranking spotter can expect to work from six until eleven on a good day. bad day, could be all day.
#ChaseForBook9
The worst thing is when people refuse to take the most basic anti-monster precautions.
*in high, mocking voice* Oh, help help! A monster is chewing my leg off!
*normal voice* Oh, how did this happen?
*high voice* I was walking down a dark alley which was also a creepy graveyard full of open graves at night during a full moon while carrying a giant box of carry-out teriyaki chicken and wearing blood-scented perfume! I never saw this coming!
*hugs Fabi back*
*nods*
I'll probably be distant.
#ChaseForBook9
The same with spotting! How can someone miss that across Glasgow over the course of a decade someone has been buying he materials required to make a desolation engine! Not worth looking into my foot!
#ChaseForBook9
(I, unfortunately, am forced to go to lunch . . .)
*stands up*
*stretches*
Thank you for the gin and tonic, Trip!
*yawn*
If It's alright with you, may I take a quick nap in that booth over there? I had a late night . . .
*meanders over to the booth*
*lies down*
*begins to snooze peacefully*
Mages. Faceless Ones followers hating on mortals.
((I'm laughing the entire class is still working on the test i'm done xD its called study and they can't get it and im supposedly in top set))
*drinks shot*
"You're just paranoid", "It's clearly not the same person", "Why are you wasting my sanctuary's resources chasing ghosts?" Imbeciles!
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, not all mortal hate crime is faceless ones followers!
#ChaseForBook9
Im used to it. The ones who in all honesty I don't care what religion you follow just the Faceless Ones followers....they...tend...to stray, I don't mind if they practice but don't cause terror to mortal.
Thos one is Trip. Their symbol was there. Trust me.
It normally is, but not always.
We've got about thirty followers in all of Scotland, not a very popular place for faceless followers. So most of our hate crime is from other sources.
#ChaseForBook9
Well it was uncommon to say openly you worship them in America whilst Bisahalani was in charge, with me to be honest I don't care like I said so long as they don't cause problems, I think they're getting....rowdy
Msd
Eh, this sort of thing always happens when power changes hands. You need to make sure your spotters are on the ball, otherwise you're buggered.
#ChaseForBook9
...I have this theory that waking up in a car means that you're still dreaming.
So if you ever change your mind and decide that it might be worth the drive, then just drive.
So we just drive, careless and full of smiles while the radio plays on the way to some basement.
We do it for the sentiment.
It started as a self-asserted promise.
And now the moon hangs low over us as we travel to some new destination.
I will be okay.
I will be okay.
Everything.
Bye, Annika!
#ChaseForBook9
They are always. I know it. I get reports
*smiles* Ah yes, reports. Oddly it's one of the best parts of the job, because you get to show the Grand Mage them self how smart you are and better than all the regular detectives.
#ChaseForBook9
I guess that's you gone then.
#ChaseForBook9
All by myse-elf...
Don't wanna be,

I'm alright, thanks - How're you?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm fine, thanks. Just getting a sense of deja vu though xD
LOL, yup. xD
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls from her bed*
*hits the ground* uh
*begins coughing harshly* lo...
Hey Adra! *hands her a cookie* 're you alright, there?
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes her head no* *puts the cookie aside, because she isnt' hungry*
*gives Taia a skulcake*
*wakes up in her booth at Trip's bar*
Ah, that was a refreshing nap.
*looks around for ice cream*
((Yeah, totally not killing him for appearing when I wasn't there *facepalm*))
*pauses*
Cookie is probably not the best thing for coughing.
Uh.
I'd offer you a drink, but my supply of stuff which seems to lack boundaries consists primarily of cookies and smiles. I don't think I can whip up cup of tea -or even a glass of water- from thin air.
Though I perhaps should be able to... Hm. *contemplates abilities*
#ChaseForBook9
Good ol' Trip. It was good to see him again.
*notices she's alone in his bar*
. . . dangit, must've overslept.
*calls out through the darkness*
Taia!
*her voice echoes back*
Adra!
*no response*
Where are you . . .
*sees white stripe in her hair*
*almost breaks down in tears*
@Adra: Aw. :/ Can I ask the why?
And- *nods* *noms skulcake*
Hey again, Annika. :)
#ChaseForBook9
(Hello, Taia! Adra!)
*slowly and mournfully walks through the darkness*
What am I going to do . . ?
...The why?
*walks through the darkness*
Help.
*looks down at the ground*
*her hat trophy falls off*
*she picks it up*
Help. I don't know where I am.
Am I dreaming?
*someone grabs her arm*
AH!
*reality snaps away like a rubber band*
*she finds herself in a plain of blank whiteness*
*thw white stripe in her hair gets thicker*
Oscar: Doesn't this bring back memories? A romantic weekend in Prague, hmm? Remember the one? The one where I tore you apart with a switchblade? You were paralyzed for fifty years, isn't that right?
You. . . You bastard . . .
Oscar: Oh, I miss the good old days. We were young, then. Young and foolish. We are not young any longer, Doctor. We are very, very old and very, very alone in the world. And . . . And sometimes I wonder what I'd be without you. Or if you never were. Would I still be me? Or would I be someone else entirely?
@Adra: Sorry. I cannot talk today (my German c/a proved that ffs), and I'm kind of typing in a talk-y way, I think. My meaning, I think, was the "Aw, what is the matter? :( " kind of intention. ^^
#ChaseForBook9
((:O
I wonder...))
*shakes her head and runs to the bathroom, looking at her reflection in the mirror, and gasps. Her hair is flat, her cheekbones more pronounced, her skin pale, her lips the color of blood*
hmmm
*lashes out with blue energy*
Oscar: *calmly deflects it*
Get out! Go away! Bring me back to Blogland! Ugh!
*halberd materilizaes in hand*
*slashes out*
Oscar: AH!
*halberd slices through his sleeve, tearing a gash up his arm*
*blood dribbles down his arm, staining the perfectly white world*
Ah-HA!
Oscar: *very unnerved by the sheer amount of blood*
Please . . . just listen to me . . .
. . . My friend's mum's whatever might finish late, so my friend said that if she wasn't there in time we'd start walking back (after orchestra, this is), and she could pick us up on the way. My friend's mum went to Boyes after her whatever, and then she went home without picking us up, her excuse being that she didn't pass us. Me and my friend were walking for an hour. My friend was carrying her cornet. It was not fun.
My mum picks us up on Mondays from Further Maths. One day of the week each, yeah? One Thursday, my friend's mum couldn't pick us up, so my mum said she'd come after work, and she can somehow manage to come pick us up whilst we're walking, and when we're on the roundabout and she's on the other roundabout she notices us and also turns around and doubles back to make sure we can see her. -_-
I'm probably just in a bad mood, though. :) Almost started crying for no reason. Which was kind of expected and I've spent the previous few days being ridiculously hyper. Oh my gosh, I started laughing for no reason at dinner yesterday and I choked on my water and made my throat sore, then couldn'y drink my water because I couldn't stop laughing and it went on for like five minutes. -_- And in form I sat on the table rather than the chair, because it was comfier, and then I stood on the chair on my way down and just stood there exclaiming about how tall I was and laughing for no reason. :P

Oscar: *uncaps golden pen*
*light streams through the world*
*light wraps around her, leaving her hanging, bound tight, in the air*
*Oscar’s white stripe in his hair is bigger now*
*Oscar and Precocious begin to flicker and fade and jerk like bad animation. Oscar is stopping and starting, lagging out like a YouTube video with a bad connection. Precocious is slowly fluxing between in-focus and out-of-focus, like she exists in the sights of a camera*
Oscar: *watches her struggle in his net*
*swallows* I don't know what to do, Doctor. After all these years you have never been completely helpless to me. Not since Prague. *steps closer* What do you think I should do, Doctor? Torture? Bo-ring. I've done that before. *steps closer* Or I could just kill you. Finally. I've been dreaming of that for 500 years.
