I should have announced this yesterday, to be honest, but I was in Swindon, in England, doing writerly things like chatting to 600 people, signing all their books, and then travelling on to the WH Smith head office and signing 500 copies of LSODM, so you'll forgive me if I was a tad... distracted.
But, without further ado, to those who have not yet heard, the title of the short story collection out next summer is...
Armageddon-Outta-Here.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
I swear to god, I never thought Harper Collins would agree to this. My first instinct was to call it Tales of the Dead Men, but that wouldn't have been accurate because there'd probably only be one or two stories featuring the Dead Men — not enough to warrant a title.
Harper came back with The World of Skulduggery Pleasant, which is, let's face it, a title far too boring to exist.
I suggested Armageddon-Outta-Here as a joke, expecting everyone to dismiss it. But the more I thought about it, the more I said it in my head, the more I loved it. And suddenly I became determined to be the writer who has a book with THAT title.
Amusingly, Harper Collins agreed. And I couldn't be happier.
And if that wasn't awesome enough, we should actually have a cover reveal early next month for you to gawp at. Could I BE any nicer to you?
No. The answer is no.

Hello, Nevyar.
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
I am a supervillain, in charge of the entire Evil League of Evil.
How-do-you-do.
(Can't stay long . . .)
I can't...
No...
I need a memory wipe
OSCAR! *hits him really hard*
I just looked at like four comments and all I got from it was that there's a ship name for me and Ivy but not one for me and Miles' bromance and that makes literally no sense to me.
Spivy though? Really?

"Well, he is over 400 years old..."
that's it
i'm dead
Can he, like, have the ring of Sauron as a belly piercing?
That's what it's called, right?>
I can't imagine having the option to kill oneself and not want to take it.
*shrugs*
Maybe we're just not cut from the same cloth.
Thank the sweet Lord for that.
And do you honestly think that after 500 years, I'm not more family to her than you ever were?
MAN
ZATH *dies*

(YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID BLITHERING.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
BUT I SAID IT.)
NEVER ANNI NEVER!! I WILL MAKE THAT PICTURE, YOU JUST WAIT!!
Last time I remembered, Oscar, family respected each other. Not try to stab them or whatever you did.
Violence doesn't beget love. Sorry, but it doesn't.
I managed to read back to Anni's comment about the porn parody...
Also, now my mum's come into the room and she's still giving off slow waves of anger, so I have t remain completely serious.

SNOW TALKED ABOUT TRIP THE HOBBIT
AND I WAID I WAS DEAD AS SKULDUGGERY SERIOUS
DUUDE
*twitches at the comment about violence and love*
. . . eh.
What do YOU know about love . . .
. . . and what do you know about us?
. . . I may have put her in a wheelchair for 50 years but it was her who burned the family home to the ground, taking my sisters and parents with it.
It was her who killed the Carrows.
It was her who brought down my criminal empire in the 20's.
It was her who ended the reign of my queen, Queen Elizabeth I.
It was her who tortured me to near insanity and left me locked in a gaol for twelve years in the 1700's, returning to sanity violently and with a raging case of OCD.
It was her who did that.
*voice shaking now*
So don't you tell me she's a saint.
imagine it zath...
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
Sparky
Zath
can we PLEASE skype?
Derek doesn't read the comments nowadays. Probably just as well, considering what we get up to XD

*Wants to hug Oscar*
Nev; TRIP THE HOBBIT THONG
Adra can wear him ;)
I didn't tell you that, Oscar. None of that.
No one is a saint anymore, Oscar- people like that just don't come around. I'm saying that friendship doesn't come out of trying to kill each other.

I SWAERRE IT. WS A TYPK
*looks away*
. . . It's no use.
You'll never understand, no.
Something big is coming, Adra.
Something that will shake the world to its very foundation.
The League has a weapon that you could never imagine.
The world will break in half, Adra.
In the name of love.
You understand that, don't you?
Wouldn't you crack the world in half for your love?
Wouldn't you?
*the light grows brighter*
Wouldn't you, Adrasdos?
oh, right, i forgot to change it to thongs XD
Nev, if you click on my name, it will take you to my profile. Go under 'Blogs I follow' and look at A Random Comment of Kindness.
That's a list of the REGULAR Bloglandians.
Hydra it is gonna work
Even better: Tadra
*averts her eyes*
Love and confusion are two horns on the same bull
i am gonna make a California girls parody right now and post it when i am done. you just watch me!
*Is practically crying over Osmosis*
Snow, you need to make a full Youtube video parody of that...
lol saph, great minds think alike
I love myself.
Snow; And fools seldom differ ;)
I might have to disappear soon.
SPREAD THIS ALL OVER SKULDUGGERY BLOGS AND SUCH
Ill miss you
*tilts head*
*smiles a perfectly-flossed smile*
That's a funny way of looking at it.
I prefer to do what I do best.
We all show off a little, in front of our loves, don't we?
We want to show them that we're worth their time.
That's why we laugh and their jokes,
and smile,
and flirt.
It's all to show off a little.
I am old and tired now, but when I was young, I was as evil as they come.
I was the best of the best. John Dee and Thomas Blood had nothing on me.
But I wasn't worth her time. I wanted to be Bonnie and Clyde, she wanted to be Buffy and Angel.
So I'm back. The old Oscar is back!
I'm a supervillain again, and better than ever.
And when I bring about the end of the world, she'll finally, FINALLY see that I'm worth her time.
Because we all like to show off a little.
Don't we?
*clicks his fingers*
*the light flares blindingly bright*
*and when it fades*
*he's gone*
Nev; Why don't you create your own blog?
No,to muchcwork.
valkyrie is that how you spell it?
Omgg ive had 11profile views
Bless you,lil cuties.

*Loves Osmosis* That was heart-breaking. *Thinks sadly of Salex*
