Am I the only one able to speak? Damn
OI DEREK COME VISIT
OMFG YES!!!
Oh wow
This is the closest I've been on a new post lol
Zaffy fangirling! Good thing I have no school today
How are you Tia?
Ahhhhh! I love it!!!
Hi Tia! Hi Chione! Hmmm I'm tempted to beg Derek...
DEREK PLEASE ONE TINY LITTLE COMMENT?
That drawing is amazing, looks more realistic than the others ones..
Lovely we've been shocked into silence
OH MY LAWD
Lol mara
Hey guys, I can't talk now, not on laptop.
Derek, please bring Tom Percival to book signings.
And buy me a laptop.
I'll sign your book for you.
I'll tell you the meaning of life.
To all: *hugs, hugs everywhere!*
Lol Mara!
Oh my god now I'm getting another round of Minions following me on Twitter and most tweet how cool it is to follow the Grand Mage of America...
Is my life that entertaining? I didn't think so....I feel loved
O.O Wow, this is amazing, but kinda... creepy. Tanith looks sooo different. I liked the other cover more.
ERROR: The SP logo puts red dots in Tanith's hair, someone tell Tom Percival to fix this.
It must be perfect.
OMG! THAT IS SUPER AMAZEBALLS! :)
Theres a reason..red is blood isn't Tanith a killer? It makes sense in my mind to have droplets of blood in her hair I mean think of what she does in TMS
It looks off but I can live with it I guess.
I usually trust what Tom does because if Derek likes it its got to be right. I mean he fell in love with Tanith which is funny because he probably killed her off in Book 9 and all
HOLY SHIT.
HOOOLLYYY SHIITTTTT
THAT... THAT IS
GAH THAT'S AWESOME!
I never thought that Tanith's hair was THAT blond..
BUT THAT'S OK
BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME :D
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
I mean look at Tanith! Then look at THAT BACKGROUND!!!
Tom Percival you need to come to the signings!
I KNOW!
IT'S JUST...
SO
AH!
The hair's bothering me a bit though o.o
BUT IT'S OK!
IT'LL GROW ON ME AT ONE POINT :3
(get it? It'll GROW on me? Coz hair GROWS! heh heh heh.. ignore me)
I've never been to a signing! I live in America but I have tweeted Tom a few times. I mean honestly if it wasn't for NJ I never would have TMS signed she got it for me and my one copy of Scepter of the Ancients I did sene over to Derek I swear HC never sent over so he sent me a signed copy and last December the lunatics and I who wrote a letter got Christmas cards....I thought Serephia's was the best he wouldn't answer any questions of hers and her Irish pork chops xD
JUUUUUUUBBBBBIIIIII *tackleswithmyepicNecromancerness*
Jubi, I'm not sure whether I'm having a slow day or something, but that was the best joke I've heard all day.
Whoa 0.0
Zafira, whaaaaaattt??? How did you contact Derek?
ZAAAAAFFYYYYYY!!! *istackledwithyourepicNecromancerness* *returns it with a supermegatacklehugofdoom*
HAI :3
YAY I TOLD A JOKE! :D
*throws explosive confetti* DYNAMITE
Tia- By means of TWITTAH
(that's twitter with and "ah" instead of an "er" :3)
ADRA! I KNOWWW!
He has Twitter @DerekLandy
Also if you write a letter to HC author mail he gets it eventually. And he used to comment here, thats why some of us were in LSODM
Ah that day we found out....that was priceleas
It is amazing!!!
I do Spanish so I think you're wrong - it's Twittaba okay?
And Derek replies??????? What sorcery is this?
HC Author Mail okay :) :)
I secretly created a twitter for the sole reason of stalking him.
And then my parents found out.
So I died a painful death. And I deleted it.
But then I created it again.
...
So if I never come back, then I'm probably dead
Letters take forever but on Twitter he replies generally once a week if he isn't writing. He's in the middle of writing book 9 though so he usually hides from Twitter. But he'll reply to you when he can. I've done other things but I won't tell you unless you ask. *shrugs* I'm adopted into thw Twitter family he has, he Twitter married Holly Smale who wrote Geek Girl and Model Misfit and they Twitter adopted me since Holly likes international families
omg Jubi
Such diversity!
xP
Zafira :3 how can I stalk him??? I need stalking advice *nods* :)
My parents don't know a lot about all my "internet relations" :P
Because if they found out that I talking to complete strangers on the blog, then...
I'm not even going to think about what would happen o.o
Jubi if you die I'll go revive you and then ride the Jubisarus before she eats your liver
Sounds good to me!
Go make a Twitter account and follow @DerekLandy and stalk his Twitter xD
BOO!
Can't stay for chats - seriously busy today - but I figured I'd leave one little comment just to say hi...!
It IS a glorious picture, isn't it? And her hair isn't ACTUALLY that blonde- it's the filter Tom is using, for want of a better term. It makes everything look bleached out. Awesome.
As for letters, I am SOOOO behind on answering reader-mail. There is a GIGANTIC stack going back a full year - AT LEAST. Hopefully I'll find some time over the next few weeks to answer some. I'd like to get them answered by Christmas.
Well okay then, I have to get back to work! So glad you're loving this cover as much as I am...
Toodles!
FOLLOW ME TOO!
I ONLY HAVE 9 FOLLOWERS
OMG DEREK!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI HAI HAI HAAAII!!!!!

Hai Derek :3
Bai Derek x.x
I just squealed... Some people at the lunch room stared at me.
I don't blame them
I'm fabulous
Did I? Did? What? Derek OMG Derek Landy hello and have a fantastic day and thank you for Skulduggery Pleasant! :3
I'm in the middle of a library trying not to scream right now... O.O
This is a very awkward situation...
DO IT JUBI
SCREAM AND SHOUT
AND LET IT ALL OUT
I'm home since we have off but I just screamed bloody hell and fell off the couch and I hope I don't lose my voice for tonight! I'm spazzing
To be perfectly honest I did think of creating a twitter account for the sole purpose of keeping up with Derek and the SP world *does it now*
You have no idea how much i would like to do that right now, Adra.
But I'm supposed to be working on a narrative thing.. and my teachers like right over THERE
Y'all can follow me! @Kerias_Zafira
Oh good god poor Derek probaby could hear my screams...the aftermath vidieo we did when Nikki hugged me and I screamed...I never realized I was so high pitched
Derek, if you're reading, is there any chance of getting to read your original SP draft?
Do it, Jubs
DO it
What!? One hour ago?? I just pulled an all-nighter and I JUST missed getting a comment near the top!
But meh. Hey, the cover looks great, Derek!
*opens up mouth to let out a scream*
....
*decides against it*
Tom Percival is the Master!! I bow to him.
You're okay Derek, I guess, but TOM PERCIVAL wow! All the awards to that Man for these Amazing cover!! :D :P
jk you're equally awesome!!
The library's too quiet...
and there are the scary upperclassmen at a table right next to me...
and they're scary.
Drat
NJ! *hugs*
NJ!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI
No fun :c
Oh wow, now I know NJ is the girl from the book. God you guys are lucky...
Hello NJ and hi to everyone :)
The sigil student in love with Fletcher xD
You all better know me
Zaf, what's this thing on twitter I can't get off? It pops up what I like and intrests and stuff, I can't leave ittttttt
OMFG
ONE DAY
ONE FREAKING DAY
GODDAMMIT DAD! GET THE CABLE SET UP
DID I JUST FUCKING MISS DEREK LANDY HOLY NOTHER OF FUKNG GOD
Hmmm uhm....I use the app...
"China said I'll never be as good as her" I think that's how it went with China's understudy.
Oh and cause of all the fan pages, is Derek's one the pic of Skulduggery? I'm guessing the ones with eggs are groupies.
MARAA! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI!!!
and you didn't really miss much...
he just came and left in one comment so...
MEERA!
Ah, its fine- he didn't talk to any of us ':P
MSD!
Its true though xD I still thought the first words my character says were perfect by how much I want to kill Valkyrie myself
Yeah its of Skulduggery with redish brown backround he follows 6 people even though he said he would knly follow 2
msd
Hey, Zafira!
How did you pass your character idea to Derek?
"To be honest, Adra's kinda a stupid bitch" -NJ Maverick, about my character
Thank you NJ
I appreciate it
He actually surprised me... he's just "oh hey btw, Adra's in the book" and I forgot how to walk and I was crying.
I can't eveb get excited about the cover, because I'm just crying and help I feel so rubbish today helpppppp. D:
*hugs everyone*
Help. :P
*still crying*
I was doing pretty fine until that song came on the radio again and I just exploded into ranting and tears. -_-
And I had a few mood swings today and then I was just sort of sat crying in the lunch queue.
And yeah.
Yeah.
I CAN'T STOP CRYING DAMMIT.
I'm leaving to go rockclimbing in less than an hour . . .
So sorry if I fine myself incapable of feeling happy about the cover.
Too busy crying.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ah you guys all gots school I forgot :P #NoSchool
I have school on Monday though, and Tuesday and half day Wednesday but i may get off Wednesday since we may get a delay but we cant delay on half days
STAR BABY *cuddles her closely* Don't feel bad
*calms down a bit*
*looks at the cover*
That cover is wonderful. :)
*stares, going into an island of tranquillity and amazingness*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh right uhm how I got the idea....
Well I kinda was Grand Mage of America then on October 5th last yeat Derek fired me so last Christmas Eve I asked to be an Elder and he said "I will CONSIDER making you an Elder but I may kill you off. Good enough?" I agreed then in January I asked and he said I was in LSODM and yeah Adra forgot to walk I fell off my chair and couldn't move NJ screamed and Em sat there laughing at us
Hey, Star!
Aww *hugs*
*softly musses Star's hair*
@Adra: *hugs* HEY! :)
I can't help it! D:
I'm not even crying for any particular reason!
I'm just so upset about nothing! D:
And about Em and Death, but that's not why I'm crying!
There is no reason why I'm crying! :(
You know I've been getting really happy recently and just be so happy and hyper and keep laughing for no reason?
Yeah . . . I think this is the downside! D:
. . . Wait, I did this before. And I was just crying at school, and yeahhhh. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Tia! :)
*hugs Adra* :)
I need to stop being upset soon so I can go down and make tea . . . That's tea as in dinner . . . English weirdo, me . . .
And then I have to go rockclimbing . . .
I CAN'T DO ROCKCLIMBING TONIGHT DAMMIT. *cries*
#ChaseForBookNine
Zafira :) YAY for promotions!
Can't as in don't want to . . .
*takes deep breathes and try to think of calm things* What even are calm things?
WHY CAN'T I STOP CRYING???
#ChaseForBookNine
Youwillbeokayyouwillbeokayyouwillbeokayyouwillbeokayyouwillbeokayyouwillbeokayitllallbeokaysomeday
#ChaseForBook9
Oh my god it's true.
The British do "drink tea and carry on".
Okay, I know that isn't true. But I wouldn't ever dare pass up a DW reference
50TH TOMMORROW
Hey Adra since you read my fanfiction, would you mind helping me on the fight scene with the element 4? :) or star, or anyone who has read it. I restarted chapter 6, it was rubbish.
Fabroo! *hugs*
Starry, try to breathe and watch videos of adorable kittens
I'm with my irl friends for eight hours straight tomorrow, though. Friend's birthday. Going to town. Watching Catching Fire.
It will be a good day . . .
. . . Thinking of good days is apparently a calm thing . . .
*catiously types that I've stopped crying* *is relevant to find that it isn't like when you try and type that you can't stop laughing* *because whenever I type that I can't stop laughing, I stop O_O*
#ChaseForBookNine
I just got twitter so if you wanna follow me Zaf... @asahine_chione .
Actually, I'm about to disappear Chi- I have Church and Sacraments, then Europe and the Middle East, so... Not right now-sorry!
Asahina*
Star *u*
Maybe you need the drink of gods? (Coffee)
Lol thanks! Honestly I didn't expect the promotion to Grand Mage. Its the only thing I can openly talk about because it was most predictable. Like when Vex says "Elder Kerias." I was like AWESOME but then when I think Frightening says something like: "It is. Zafira Kerias stepped up to take his place as Grand Mage of America." I just was like HOLY CRAP
Aww ok Adra, thanks anyway.
Zaf you're going to get assassinated btw we all know it
EVIL KITTENS! *glares*
I'm going to start laughing soon.
Warning: hyperness may follow.
I think I've got the pattern. Upset, calm, hyper shortly after. Good. :)
@Adra: We call 'dinner' 'tea'; well some of us do. :)
*hugs Lantern* *smiles* Thank you. :) That smile was a irl smile.
@Chione: Going out soonish. And I've just had an emotional breakdown, so I'm not feeling right. Or left. I'm in the middle. MIDDLE! So . . . yeah. Middle is normal. Being normal is alien to me. I'm stuck in extra-terrestrial-land. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Adra! :)
This community is so nice *giggles*
*Questions the giggle*
@Tia: Arghhhh . . . it took my brain a while to react to that properly, and my proper reaction is - sorry, I don't like coffee. :/
Stupid characters messing up my mind. :)
OH SHIT I'M GOING TO START CRYING AGAIN.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Tia: We are. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I love Blogland.
Look, you've calmed me down. *pokes*
All I have to do now is survive until around about ten o'clock. Then I can just come down and chat here and cry if I need to. :) Fun.
Three hours. *mutters* Three hours and travel time.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah figures I'll be killed off xD I knew it but hey maybe Derek will let me live, we don't know if I'm even in book 9 I don't want to ask Derek though...maybe closer to December I'll ask very nicely if i need to panic that I have a scene in book 9
STAR DON'T DO IT
LOOK UP BABY SLOTHS
I've followed cassidy, adra, zaf and Rhydian on twitter, yay.
Fun, although I have no idea how to use it...
[hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
*goes to look at cover again* OH MY GOSH THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams*
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S SO REALISTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DAMMIT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*does loads of hyper shaking things*
OH MY GOSH IT'S WINDERFUL.
OH . .. OHNESS!
OH OH /OH/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
Happy now! :)
THE BACKGROUND IS SO NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it much better than the hardback, I have to say. :) I didn't think the hardback was the best.
I generally like the paperbacks better, too. :P
OH MY GOSH.
. . . Apparently, delayed reactions are still just as strong! :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Hello fellow earthlings,
IM ADDICTED TO VINE VIDEOS!
@Adra: NO! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME A PEDOPHILE???
:P
I think I'm happy now. :) That's still not good, though. I need to be NORMAL, dammit. *pokes*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Chole! :)
I need to go get dinner now. *nods* See you all in a few! :)
That cover is so amazing. I love Tanith's expression. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well my idea for a character is Tia - her adept discipline allows her to travel back in time about 30 seconds. This could help in surviving a fight, or preventing her from being discovered while sneaking around.
Not sure if Tia would fit into the SP universe though.
c ya Star !
#ChaseForBook9
She may my best advice is ask Derek he isn't that acary i mean the worst could be he says no.
Star see you in a few :) xx
Hey, Zafira I'm not sure how or where to ask him so that he definitely sees it.
Twitter seriously. I mean he DID comment here but that was the first time since August
Ok I'll make an account :)
Any news on Em?
#ChaseForBookNine
Yay Tia!
I haven't heard from her Star I know if she is alive she'd be with Cieran so...
@Zaf: *nods* Thanks, anyway. :)
I should have asked soon as I got here, really. :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Dragona
Hey Dragona. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Fours hours till I'm home . . . :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Heya Dragona
#ChaseForBook9
Adios Star!
I'm here though as its my day off school
So what do you think of... Tia Halcyon? Or is is too cheerful for the aforementioned character?
Bye Star and hey there Dragona!
@Tia: Idk. :) It sounds like a good name, but people have so many aspects to them. People are this thigns and that thing and this thing and until I know them I can't judge. :) And, characters are people. Nonexistant people exist just as much as we do. *nods firmly*
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm in love with you,
And all your little things...
*is still here* *why do people think I'm going? :P*
#ChaseForBookNine
Lol star
Its up to you Tia!
Star, I agree, characters are people too :)
And you said FOURS and you're still here see its time travel fully working.
Star, if/when you have chance (whether when you're at home or whatever), could you read the new part of my ME story?
*hugs Mara* Exactly. :) The little things are just those things about a person that don't seem to matter but they just make them them and you love them for them. :)
Would explain more, but NOW I have to go. -_-
Fours!
*hugs everyone*
*even the people who don't exist*
*and when I kept back, I might write Ez's thoughts on why no one can describe Hunter because Adra might go EZTER* *and it describes what I meant about people having layers well* *which is why I thought of it*
*leaves*
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star* Cya!
Sooo whats everyone up to?????
Bye Star!
Hi Chloe, I don't think we've met. I'm Chione, nice to meet you.
Hello Chione, nice to meet you too!!!
Watching my videos
Im trying to draw my fav anime characters while listening welcome to wonderland
I have to admit, this isn't like I have imagined Tanith at all, but it looks good on it's own way :)
I'm just laying in the living room
OMG that cover is awesome!
And hello everyone!
Hi lykira, nice to meet you.
Hi Lykira!
Hi Chione and Zaf! How are you?
Hiya Lykira, soz, I just zoned out -_-
Ok back on laptop.
Hi Lykira, Zafira, Chione, Leila and Chloe!
How are you guys doing?
Hi Tia, Im listening to glee
Sorry I poofed.
Hi Tia! Nice to meet you ;)
DRAGONA!!! I haven't seen you in a long time!
Hey Lykira! And ikr? How are you? ^^
I don't know what ikr means. But I'm fine, it has been a lot in school, but know I'm back here again! How are you?
Hey Lykira and hi Dragona! You guys excited? it's friday! :D
ikr = I know right
Tomorrow I'm playing Mass Effect. Also maybe a little Assassin's Creed, but mostly ME.
Oh, thanks Tia!
@Dragona that sounds fun! My parents have decided that we are going to Clean our house tomorrow, I'm NOT looking forward to that!
Lol, mine indeed sounds better :P
I posted a Nameless chapter
Zafira, what's msd? Seen a few comments refer to that.
And where are your stories?
May be distant = msd
@Dragona Absolutely! cleaning is so boring
BACK!
FOR LIKE 3 MINUTES
Btw msd is might suddenly disappear
and web is will be distant :3
Mbd is may be distant
Msd is might suddenly disappear
Msd.
...
...
[suddenly disappears]
#ChaseForBook9
**wbd
But what does wbd means??
Soz, zoned out again! Kirby right back at ya is too addictive
Lykira, I think it means "will be distant"?
Hi. Sorry was distantly
Dragona, Aaaahhhh, now I get it! I think...
Why is king Dedede a penguin?
msd might be "might stay distant?"
I'm a guy.
Bye.
Hope you have a good time.
I can't make stuff rhyme.
Because penguins are awesome?
They are but why does he have to be evil?
