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, Nev, can I just say something?
ADRA,NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Speak your wisdom,Spraky
Now my hand os cramping
JUST WHAT IXNEDEDMO
sparky.do I know you? Your name seems goodly familiar
Well, anyone can do that.
Having visions of killing people.
I do that for my writing.
Literally, Hunger Games fanfiction.
I have to think through the process of a realistic murder.
So what purpose does your power hold?
*mumbles*
I would hope my name is familiar.
*swims*
Ah. Well the thing iz my oc sees visions about exactly how to kill you. Your weaknesses,that things. Like she knows how to end lives. They usually are short. Its weird she has other ppwers,but I cant remember allow. And I made her when I was in like 2ndd grade
Lol,the last name
Imagine if ur my irl friend...
I'm Australian.
Wait- how old are you now lol?
(( home work is boringgg))
Shes a sort of monster. Shes a demon. She was queen of the monsters,but her friends know,and think she is good but are wary around her,and she has a voice in her head that is evil,but it turns out she is evil,ans the voice was good. See,she lied and told her friends the voice was evil but its not,and I cant explain and its very feels
I'm as old as I think I am,which is ∞.
What the actual fuck
anyone know a good place to look for help on how to write a film analysis?
Her name is Rayven(Nevyar backwards)
So sometimes she would turn into Nevyar and have orange eyes and kil everyone,but Rayven was good with rainbow eyes. Rayben said she got possessed and always had the voice,but the thing is,she was always Nevyar,not Rayven. Rayben was the evil one,but she lied and told her friends opposite. Its weird and unfolding. It only exists in my head really,I don't want people to know.l,ht oh well ;) :)

Today was the best and worst day of my existance.on this cruel planet.
probe gonna del. This Acct,but whatever floats.
HHEELLOO!
What, if I dare ask, is up with that picture?
(It was a quote from book one,I think,or something like that. Skul promised Val and he said "cross my heart"and she said"though technically you don't have a heart")
"bizarre stuff happened around the world today," politician Snow Stormberg said in a press release, "i couldn't beileve it when i met Nev and she started crazily mis-spelling things."
Snow, as it is well known, is a role-player extrordenar and it is hard to surprise her.
WHATS UP WITH YOURS?
We know that.
IT WAS MY KINDLE
TTHE TYPOS AND AUTOCORRCTS
"ahem.HOBBIt thing"

[Considers whether I should work on the rest of it all or sleep now]
[Wonders if I should bother being here and not really saying or doing anything]
[Is too tired really to answer either question]

How the duck do you manage to use almost 1000 comments in less than 12 hours!?
Me: *Picks up cup from the dishwasher and it is full of water* I'm going to slap the person who packed the dishwasher.
Me: *Slaps myself to my little brother's amusement*
God dammit Tumblr, what do you mean I've reached the daily amount of posts today.

#ChaseForBookNine

HEY STAR!
Alright! Have a nice breakfast! :)
i'vE FOUND THE PERFECT CORSET FOR MY COSPLAY BUT IT'S $105 AND THAT'S NOT GOOD. And it makes me sad because it looks just like the corset Mami wears and I just ;-;
I HATE BEING NOT OLD ENOUGH FOR A JOB BECAUSE THEN I COULD GET MONEY AND IT WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
*IS BACK*
@Zaiya: Good luck! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaiya: :(
#ChaseForBookNine
WB STAR!
Thankies! ^-^
The Con isn't until March, but you gotta prepare early for this stuff. :P
Probably. :)
Plus, it's only four months to March. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
*rolls around*
I guess I could get something that looks like a corset, then I could make it look more like Mami's corset...
But I don't really want to do that. :P
I'm too picky about this cosplay.
*eyes widen*
Omgg, you're right. :O
Only 4 months left!!
Maybe I could ask for some stuff for Christmas... :3

#ChaseForBookNine

HEY LUCE! *tacklehugs*
HEY CAIN!
HOW ARE YOU TODAY??
I'M EXCITED AND TERRIFIED. HOW ARE YOU?
The answer is yes- you could stop killing our favourite characters!!!!!!!!!
HEY MUSHROOM! :)
My internet has started failing repeatedly.
Yaaaay . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
I'M STILL REALLY HYPER ABOUT MADOKA MAGICA REBELLION COMING TO AUSTRALIA, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN FEBRUARY. :P
WHICH IS WHY I'M DRAWING FANART BUT GODOKA IS REALLY ANNOYING ME D:
*creeps in* Hi....
ELD! *tacklehugs*
WHILE I REMEMBER, ARE YOU BY ANY CHANCE GOING TO A 3D SCREENING OF THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR AT HOYTS OR SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO ONE. :3
HEY STAR!
WOOOOOOOOOO FOR HYPER!:D
I should probably have breakfast...
HELLO ELD! *waves*

*distonates, artwork*
#ChaseForBookNine

#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star* bye!
Bye Star! *huggles*
*hugs*
BYE STAR!!
I'm going to a 3D screening at Hoyts in Carousel, on the 24th with my grandad and my sister.
I was hoping we'd magically be at the same place. :P
awww damn :(
dat surrrkssss
this is so weird...
Im on a chat room thing as the Master, and Im kinda going insane bc im getting too into character. So at the moment I have a werid urge to start shouting about the drums and running around shooting stuff with my Laser...
yus... you need to know this.
*laughs*
Oh my God, Eld. :P
GODOKA DAMN YOU FOR BEING SO HARD TO DRAW D:
awww there there. *pats shoulder* it'll be great!
(is it appropriate to become the master and kill you....?)
I fucking hate Luci.
Well.
Fuck that was harsh.
I meant I hate her name. LUCIANA is great, but not her name. Not her ludicrously long name.
Excuse You?
If I'm distant, I'm realllllllllly sorry! A little busy doing college work and thinking of what to write for NaNo D:
Aiden.
Piss off.
thats OK luci *hugs*
If you're gonna act like that, piss off.
But if you're gonna get over it, please, feel free to stay.
I'm running out of skittles... what do I do.... this is the start of the apocalypse people!
*throws more Skittles at Eld*
I still have some from the Royal Show back in October, omgg.
DAMN THAT!!! ive gtg, dinner. :p
ill bb later!
*hugs all*
Uh, I may be very out of my jurisdiction but saying that you 'fucking hate' someone or something while they're online, actually, saying it anywhere is a horrible thing.
Goodbye Eldritch Blaze.
*hugs*
SEE YOU LATER, ELD!!
Brb, gotta unload the dishwasher...
I haven't had Skittles in ages... D:
Bye Eld! *hugs*
I just give in with people being horrible to me. It's easier to ignore them; cogito ergo sum. If I ignore it, I'm less likely to care, according to that principle. :)
Hi Luciana.
Hellooooooooooooo:)
How are you?
I'm okay, I guess. Counting down until tomorrow. I'm rather dreading tomorrow, to be honest...
And I should be writing for NaNo...! Oops.
What about you?
What's tomorrow, if I may ask?
I'm good, I guess. I'm not looking forward for the next week. I'm gonna be in year twelve... That won't be fun.
My birthday.
I'm in year twelve. It's awful. So much work to do all of the time. It's killing me. D:
I'm sure you'll be fine, however.
Oh, happy birthday for tomorrow!! You're from the UK so I'm already on your birthday (I'm from Northern Territory, Aus). It'll be a great day, I'm sure!!
Yeah, we do this stupid thing called ECP at my school where you go into the class above at the end of the year.
*reappears*
HI!
Hi Miss Cain!
Thanks. I hope it'll be okay. I just don't want to be old, and I have a long Monday, so... :/
My high school used to do that. It was awful. It meant that I was a Year 11 for five weeks longer than I should have been. -.-"
Though... I got, like, two months off for summer break, which was pretty cool.
Now I'm just in Y12, studying Maths, English Literature, English Language and Philosophy. Much better than Y11, that's for sure.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it:)
SHADOWS, I CAN OFFICIALLY CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FIRST PERSON FROM THE NT TO COME TO BLOGLAND!! :D
LUCE, I WILL TRY AND SKYPE YOU FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY OKAY BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL DAY AND STUFF :D
Hey Cain!
...I need to send your Xmas present soon...!
CAIN YOU'RE SUCH A WEIRDO, BUT I'M NOT SURE I'LL BE ABLE TO SKYPE BECAUSE TIMEZONES AND CRAP
Speaking of Xmas pressies, which one would you prefer more, SP OPB, or a THG luxury edition??
I'm doing Outdoor Education units 3 & 4, Maths Methods unit 4, English units 3 & 4, Psychology units 3 & 4 and Law unit 4. I'm so pumped.
Miss Cain, I feel honoured. :)
DAMN THE TIMEZONES D:
Maybe some other time later during the year, because then I can sing happy birthday AND Xmas carols aT THE SAME TIME :D
Uhmmmmmmmmmm... I'D PROBABLY SCREAM IF I GOT DD/MC/DB IN OPB EDITION BUT I'D PROBABLY SQUEAK IF I GOT A FANCY THG THING IDK
asdfghjkl; i dON'T MIND I COLLECT THEM BOTH XD
... I don't know what that means, Shadows... *laughs* Aussie education is confuddling.
Cain - I love you, oh my Golden God! *laughs*
OH I JUST REMEMBERED
THE SCHOOL I'M GOING TO NEXT YEAR DOESN'T ALLOW TEACHERS TO GIVE OVERNIGHT HOMEWORK :D
I don't even understand the Aussie education system :P
I might when I get to year 12... But I highly doubt it XD
Let's just say, it is overrated.
For a spilt second there, I thought I just broke the comment thingy...
I didn't, did I?
Cain, you're such a babe! I love you so much! *laughs*
Nah, man, we're just on a new page.
Nope, you didn't.
The comments, after 200 of them, go on to a new page. :3
Ah, okay. Just making sure.
I JUST REMEMBERED WHY I LOVE PENDULUM SO MUCH OMG <3
Cats are really stupid animals...
Cats, in my opinion are rather adorable, yet intelligence-lacking, fury torpedoes.
