My Year in Review

Ah, 2013... I knew you well.

It was a good year for me, all things considered. A busy one, of course- but when is it ever any different? The Maleficent Seven and Last Stand of Dead Men were both released, delivering to me the most shocking revelation of all — that there's only one Skulduggery Pleasant left. Yes, technically I KNEW it was coming, but it still kinda took me by surprise to find myself writing the final book in the series.

So what else did I get up to in 2013? Let's recap, shall we?

January - dipped my toes into Twitter. Discovered Twitter to be basically quicksand, and so was unable to pull toes out. Still being dragged under.

February - I did an event at the Imagine festival in London, showing clips from movies that inspired Skulduggery. So much FUN.

March - Went to Germany. As usual, had an insane amount of fun and was kept incredibly busy for the entire time. The Maleficent Seven was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.

Also met Steven Moffat and compared notes on how to traumatise people. (Speaking of which - The Time of the Doctor, eh? I'll miss Matt Smith, and it was so good seeing my beloved Amy back for a few seconds...)

April - was spent writing.

May - Started yapping to Ronda Rousey's mum. Which is, I think, an event worthy of an entire month.

June - this month consisted of me editing, touring, playing video games and watching movies. Not a bad way to spend a few weeks.

July - Read Geek Girl. Met Holly Smale. Holly Smale fell in love with me. It happens.

August - Last Stand of Dead Men released. Could life get any better?

September - My doggy died. This year I have had to put down my three dogs. I now have no dogs left. Ali's death sucked most of all.

October - My Doctor Who short story was released. Yay!

November - Writing for Book Nine.

December - Writing for Book Nine.

And how shall I be spending my New Year's Eve, you wonder? Will I be partying? Will I be singing? Carousing?

Nope. I'll be writing. And I'll be writing happily.

In closing, I'd like to thank all of you for your support, thank you for reading, thank you for being nice to each other, and for supporting each other. It's because of you that I am able to do the thing I love every single day.

I hope 2014 is kind to us all.

But especially me.

Aye Star :)

Adra- I think the point is that every now and then, a few people actually do start feeling rebellious, and that's the part that even 1000 years can't squish, but the rebellions are put down right away, and everyone knows there is not even a slight chance that the rebellion would succeed.
Star, what's the name of this book, if you don't mind telling me? I think I'd like to read it.

Also, your analogy about hurricanes- have you heard of weather warfare? It's sort of a conspiracy theory thing, but it basically says that there are a few governments who figured out how to change/create weather. People have theorized that Hurricane Katrina was created by another country and sent to America, and that the storm system that developed a year afterwards that was blocking the exact path Hurricane Katrina took was a defense the USA put up to stop something like that from happening again. Regardless of whether or not any of that is true, it brings up the idea that weather- even something as powerful as a hurricane- can be controlled, and even if we don't have the technology now I don't believe for a second that it's impossible. So theoretically, the people could rebel against the hurricanes that plague them, they'd just need a lot of science and equipment. Which would be very hard to get, but not impossible.

OMG I love that conspiracy :P

And yeah, I do, but... You know, I still think what I think. Although I'll have to read this book, by the way.

Hello!

Hello people who arrived...

Noelle said...

Even so- if everyone just said "screw it" and worked together...

Okay

It COULD fail
But if they were to succeed...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*pokes Ari* Wassup? I read your chapter

Star Inkbright said...

And if all the rebellions are killed . . . then all the rebellious people, or most of them, are dead.

Also - they don't believe in anything. They have no vision. The religions kept on fighting after the kingdoms and armies had fallen, because they had hope and belief and faith and numerous things, depending on the people and the religion. Now, there are no religions. And people don't love the Lord Ruler, just fear him.
The Keepers are a sect who try to remember, remember how things were.
But although one of the characters knows about over five hundred religions (they're his speciality), he can't remember what his own people's was. They've never been able to recover it.
And also, his people have nearly been beaten to extinction. Because of that sect, that whole species of people has been attacked, even the ones who have nothing to do with it. Their breeding is controlled and they're trained to be obedient servants from birth.
Even the one with them, trying to rebel . . . he still strongly sticks to his training. Still really servant-y.
The environment you grow up in affects you.

Noelle said...

I'm going to stick to my spring analogy for this one

Star Inkbright said...

It's the first book in the Mistborn series. The title is The Final Empire. The author is Brandon Sanderson.

I'm glad you're interested. :)

@Ari: Thanks for that. :) That's very interesting, good to think about, and raises questions.

A few people obviously feel rebellious. But that's controlled.

@Adra: Firstly, everyone's too scared to work together. Secondly, how would they? Thirdly, no one ever works together completely smoothly.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Good for you. :) :) It's a really good analogy.

I'm sure Mithria will be glad to know what I've started here. XD

Even Kelsier . . . he was basically caught. He was trying to break into the Lord Ruler's palace. He did, he was caught, and was sent to this place where you work until you die. No one survives.
He escaped. He's the only one ever to escape in living memory.

My point is . . . the rebellious people are always caught.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

First- fear can be overcome
Second- the bit of information or event or scene or idea with a but of proof is enough to spark hope, or... Something into the people.
Third- of course.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I tend to contradict myself a good bit regarding rebellions and such until I've had some time to properly think, because on one hand I am very rebellious by nature. When I get my mind set against something, I just do not shut up until I've changed it in whatever way I can. Rebelling against any kind of oppression (or just forced unpleasantness- I really can't say I'm being oppressed all that much in the nice life I'm fortunate enough to have) is so ingrained in my nature. On the other hand, I was a ballerina for 11 years. I went to a serious school. I learned to shut up and do as I'm told, and I never forgot that lesson. Last year, to introduce us to the book 1984, my english teacher came into our classroom as Big Brother, and started barking out orders and executing people. My instinctual response, when being yelled at to complete a task, is to complete the task. That's it. Not complain, or refuse to go along with it, or try to stop my classmates from being executed. I protested just a few minutes later, but my immediate response was to be completely obedient. So on the other hand, I believe in people's instinctual desires for freedom, and I think people should rebel. But on the other hand, some part of me just wants people to shut up and do as they're told. But I only actually want people to shut up and do as they're told under certain circumstances. It's just that whether or not I agree with it, that part of me is always there, and that makes it pretty easy for me to accept that rebellions are rare and futile.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yep- I read your comment, Zaf. :) I wasn't sure exactly what you meant by it, but I'm going to take the fact that it impacted you at all as a compliment, so thanks.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

See, I think I would probably be somewhat like the person Star just mentioned, who wants to rebel but at the same time is still very trained and obedient in a sense.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

HARRALIEEEEEE

Noelle said...

Bye Rhy!

I think that is a very good... Balance. And I can understand that yes, I do as I'm told, but I can't stand to be yelled at to do something. (Unless I joined the marines, I suppose)
I could do that, if it's for the benefit of someone else.

It really just depends on the situation. But I. I'm yelled at for a crude reason, I will probably fight back

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Meant that in a shocked way.

*hits head into tree* oh Ari would you be able to help me? I said Nic copy had tortured Liv but I have no idea what he'd do to her. Well Hyde also tortured her so I know what Hyde did but Nic is just I'm not sure

Noelle said...

Okay Mara, Fabi *hugs both*

Meh... I might RP a bit- I have to start annotating, and RPing is a bit less attention- needing as this conversation

I mean

In the way that the convo requires hard thinking, which I can't do while annotating. I'll try to keep up though))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Ummm well I can't draw but I'll see if it looks good when I'm done:P

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Well... *considers* What condition is she in? What did they find out is wrong with her?

#ChaseFrBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Ari: *nods* Interesting.

I've noticed how contradictory I am. How I am so one thing, but so the opposite. Like being such a peaceful person, and getting really angry about some thing. More peaceful than most and more angry than most, at the same time.

People are odd.

And we're very complex. People kind of have urges to do everything, somewhere.

@Adra: Fear can be overcome, but possibly they fear dying and getting all their friends and family killed. The book mentioned that if a skaa Misting (one of the groups of people with powers) was discovered, they were killed, and then all their family were killed to prevent them passing on the genes.
They have the power to do these things.
Secondly - yes. At the beginning, someone, an outsider, was trying to get these plantation skaa to rebel. They were just like, no way, and told him to stop being a troublemaker because he'd get all of them beaten.
Then he, um, killed the master and burnt his house down and ran away.
The plantation skaa thought - well, if we stick around here, we'll be blamed and executed. Therefore, they ran off and joined the rebellion. Where else could they go?
So I do agree with you, Adra. :)

Hayley determined her to be in some form of an unconsious state amd every part of her body has some type of cut on it, she also has a fever thats extremely high and her one arm has like...boyles or something (that knife he used on her i forget how it was but her skin was breakig)

Noelle said...

(Mara you can draw :P)

*Finishes braiding her hair, and slips on a new dress- one in her typical New Years color- red*
*Sits down in her chair with a pad and pen, trying something new*
*Begins to draw the basement that she lived in when she was younger*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((I'm willing to roleplay if anyone wants to))

Noelle said...

(Yes, but here's what I'm saying- miraculously, they manage to convince the people. The people who will gladly become martyrs for each other. When they have the fire like in Merlin. All they would need is a little proof, a nugget of knowledge to give them hope- because wouldn't the better life be worth dying for?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Sorry. *laughs* You can stop conversing if you want. :)

And - in Merlin, if Merlin's told to do something by Arthur, he does it. They may laugh and joke around, but he does it, beacsue he's his servant.
Merlin and Arthur have a special bond.
If you're not friends - you master tells you to do something, you do it.
And if you're a slave, and will be severely punished for resisting?
*shrugs*
Also - if you've never resisted in your whole life? If you've spent your life trying to look invisible? Lot of anti-resistance instincts there.

@Mara: YAAAY! :) *hugs* I'm sure you'll do ace. :) :) :)

@lantern: Okay. :) *hugs*

@Ari: You and him aren't alike (not that I've noticed), personality-wise, but yeah. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(Real quick-

So I had a dream last night that I moved from my old house into a smaller, new house, and I quite loved it, but then we got a horse and it started raining, so I couldn't take her to the field, but I got to cuddle with her through the night and feed her in this weird scooper thing that the fry people at McDonalds use for fries, and then we were being chased by a royal army or something

And I woke up

But I got a horse. In living memory, I know EXACTLY whichever horse she was- and she was a white silver color with grey speckles :P
But she was trained

So I could canter her)

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Maybe. *shrugs* But a lot of people don't believe you can get it.
And they don't have any proof that they can do it.

They can just try and convince people.
But if the people are discovered, bye-bye, dead.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: YAAAAAAAAAY! :) *hugs* Glad you had a nice dream. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(Merlin also does it because he is Arthur's friend. Sure, he might not like cleaning the stables and whatnot, but he still enjoys what he does, and he doesn't get mercilessly beaten by Arthur- they still have a laugh, and Merlin teases him often)

Noelle said...

(Well, that's why they need to find the proof, then? To show the people that they are worth it, and they deserve to be free.
I think anything can be found, if one looks hard enough)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I don't think the obedient part of me usually shows in my personality. The guy I mentioned earlier who had a crush on my for five years- he was in my english class when that happened, and he was actually really surprised that for the longest time, I didn't do anything. That I was basically a model servant for a few minutes.))

((I would, Fabi, but I'm sort of tied up here... Still want to go back, though... Gr...))

Every part of her body- do you mean internal organs as well, or...? *sighs* Where is she? I can just call him to heal her, that'll be easier. If he's infected her with someting- which it sounds like he has- it's possible no one but him will even know what it is.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Perhaps not Adra, Fabi- but I can see if I can get someone else?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sanctuary. He's done a good job of confusing Hayley. Though I want to come with because she probably won't react well to seeing him alone.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: That's why Merlin is awesome. <3

But other people do it just because they have to.

It's like my mum was saying about work today. There are too many manager-people, so they need something to tell people to do, so they give people pointless jobs. People do the pointless jobs because they have to get paid and get food and pay their mortgage off, so they stop actually working with their instincts. When they're a nurse and they check an old lady's pulse, they're not looking at her, seeing how she is, they have their minds on their lists of jobs, because they're not working with instinct and va anymore. They're completing a list.
And that's why an old lady died of dehydration in a hospital beacsue no one was giving her water and no one noticed, and that's why my mum and my granddad were discussing it, and that's why I overheard and keep ranting about it.

People do what they have to do to survive.

Also, they have no free time to think.

Of course. *whips out a phone and dials one digit* *waits for it to ring, then hangs up and puts the phone away*

#ChaseForBook9

@Adra: Also - there is proof. The Lord Ruler is not infallible. Why would he make everyone come to watch executions to show them how powerful he was if he was powerful enough to survive without trying to make them think he was powerful?

Hayley: *has watched him stunned*

Star Inkbright said...

It's very interesting, though. I think, judged on the past few minutes, that I definitely rely upon this place. When I type here, I'm portraying my thoughts and feelings. Typing them into solid words helps order the great mass of conscienceness inside me, helps me define it and look at it in a logical structure. Also, it's sort of like I'm portraying a character. Except, you know, portraying myself. It becomes less real.

When I'm feeling great emotion, it helps to type it out, because I contain it. Also, it seems less real, so when I type it, I'm more thinking about it so I can write it properly than feel it.

Damn, this is interesting.

Oh, but people; Lavender's fanfic-ing my story.

Robin Snowscar said...

But only one more book *rolls around on the floor* Help me

Noelle said...

*The majority of the kitchen floor has been cleared of snow*
*Adra's hands are raw, and bloody*
*She begins to scratch at the trap door, picking at it in an attempt to open it up, and break the I've over it*

Robin Snowscar said...

*sits on the floor* *hums*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Hmmm....

Robin Snowscar said...

*dance break*

*sits back down*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its rather quiet

Robin Snowscar said...

I know. It's odd. The last couple of times I was on I struggled to follow the conversation there were so many of us

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOSH.

I LOVE THIS CHARACTER SO MUCH (yes, I'm talking about the book I'm reading again).

HE'S /MAD/. :)

He does things nobody would even consider, that you wouldn't even think of, and yet they're so logical in a way, but they're just INSANE. :)

It reminds me of Hunter.

It's awesome.

I'm not goinmg to say what he's just done, because spoilers, but I LOVE it. <3

Robin Snowscar said...

What book Star?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Sorry wasn't meant to comment with that pic yet.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

*Sorry,

Curse you, iPad.

Noelle said...

(I know the feel, Fabi *hugs*)

*She manages to pry the basement trap door open, one o her nails splitting down the middle* *Yelps, looking at it, gagging*
*Pulls out her bag and wraps it up before descending into the cold, wet basement*

Noelle said...

(Yet? Why?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Robin: The first one in the Mistborn series. It's called The Final Empire and it's by Brandon Sanderson.

You know, I remember when I was obsessed with Gone, and I got about seven people reading it. :P

Apparently, I'm rather influential. Then again, I am awesome. *bes awesome* *which isn't hard* *coz I'm always awesome*

*hugs Adra* :) :)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Cause A. The sketch isn't finished. B. It's a surprise.))

(([hugs back] Yeah, I hate it when this happens...))

Noelle said...

(I'd like to take this moment to say that I will always and forever be able to count on Maralie Lily Charm to Fangirl about my ships, anytime, anywhere, anywhen

And it never ceases to make me smile when I read her almost giving herself a concussion from bouncing off the walls :3)

Noelle said...

(Well FINEEEE :P I'm excited now

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hello.

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry I randomly disappeared earlier. Long story.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Stones taught me to fly,
Love taught me to lie,
Life taught me to die,
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball...

Little Mix were so cute in the X Factor c:

Helloooo everyoneeee :)

Noelle said...

Hullo Dragona, Maralie

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Hello everyone :) hope you all had a good new years eve!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hi Dragona, Mara, Flora.

Dragona Pine said...

I stand by my opinion that the only people to be in the X-Factor who were any good are Leona Lewis and Ant & Seb.

Ant and Seb were clearly the best, though.

Never liked anyone else who was on the X-Factor. I don't like any of their songs nor the people who sing them.

Noelle said...

(Flora! Hi! OFC!)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Lights just flickered...

Snow said...

Ghosting

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hello Fabi, Adra, Flora, Star and Dragona! :) *hugs*

Eeeeeeee I might be allowed get Little Mix make-up if I can order it onlineeeeee:))))))
And I need a t-shirt for the concert. NEED. I hope they sell them there. Hmmm.

Eeeeee Little Mix :D

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Edward!

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Dragona

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Well Little Mix won the X Factor, and were the first group to do so. That must mean they are talented. :)

And One Direction came third and look how massive they are now. That must mean they're talented too. :)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm not sure I want to give my sister this book.

She won't understand it.

Oh my gosh.

I think I'm just going to go off and cry for turdy-seven years now, to borrow a phrase from Mara.

@Dragona: Considering you've never met most of the people who sing them (I'm assuming), then that's a bit judgemental of you.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Now everyone comes...

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Zafira

Snow said...

Hey parrot-man and dragonia

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Turtle girl

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*explodes*

Dragona Pine said...

It shows that people vote for them. Not that they're talented. ^^

I'm not trying to offend you, Maralie, but I don't like one direction. I'm fine that you do, but their music just tends to annoy me. Then again, I'm mainly a 80s music fan.
I don't really like the people who are in the group, either. They just seem cocky and love themselves too much, to me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, though, and I won't argue about it because you're right as much as I am. :)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Maralily] I'm so glad you get to see them. :-)

Snow said...

Again, tis turtle chic because girl suggests im a sidekick, and I am so not

Dragona Pine said...

Oh god damn it, now I have to dedicate.

Noelle said...

Welcome all

Edward Fletcher said...

Ok, turtle chic. Or Penguin queen?

Edward Fletcher said...

Greetings Adrasdos

Snow said...

Either or. XD

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: so where is everyone

Dragona Pine said...

Wait, superhero names?

Snow said...

Edward Fletcher said...

*Places apple tree on everyones head*

Dragona Pine said...
