Apparently I'll be appearing at the Imagine Festival in London this Monday, the 17th. I had a blast last year, where I showed clips from movies, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll do this time. I might read from one of the new short stories. I'd read from the ninth book, but there is nothing from the early sections finished, and anything read from later on would be a spoiler, so...
Oh, and speaking of Book 9, I have just reached the 75,000 word mark. Judging by this, the finished book will be at least 100,000 words, which is Mortal Coil length, and could be longer. LSODM will stay the longest, I reckon, simply because of the massive amount of characters involved. But because most of those characters are now DEAD, Book 9 allows me a smaller, more intimate story — while remaining as heart-rendingly traumatic as anything I've written before.
And speaking of heart-rendingly traumatic, I've actually written the last few chapters. Not to completion, of course, but I've written enough to know what happens, and how it ends, and who lives and who dies, and all I can say is...
I am MEAN.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4947 Newer› Newest»*giggles* Except Ireland! If I explode Ireland it never is intact. Well not County Dublin
NEVER? Woah. Just..don't explode ME again... warn me so I can swim somewhere else
No wait not swim..were surrounded by sea water...so I can get a plane elsewhere
Okay! *goes to play with more dynamite*
An make sure you dont explode yourself...
I won't! I'm an expert in dynamite *explodes Aussies* Well that'll wake them up.
hola chubbchubbs
Hai Chloe
Just...be careful...
*walks away slowly*
Wouldn't want you doing anything to hurt you... the Americans need you. Just like some people need our grand mage... not me but some people
By chloe
hows everyone?
*HEY Chloe
hiya :)
Craaaaaazy. Zafs playing with dynamite. I'm just...here. talking.
I know. It's why I took the job. Because when Bisahalani died I stepped up to do it. Yeah, I'm a Necromancer. Yeah, I was part of the big picture but hey, we all do things we believe in. Do I believe myself popular in Europe? Ha. No. But I was on the Surpreme Council.
Yes...the supreme council... hmmm..
Yup I was on it. Still am
Yeah that's...what's you view of the supreme council and its ideas.. what does the supreme council DO now?
I think Ireland needed help. They do. They needed help maintaining their Sanctuary, and all we wanted was that. I don't even know what to do...I'm pretty sure anyone who was on it is dead. Its all of us who stepped in that make up the Supreme Council now.
And how do you plan to 'help' Ireland now that war has failed?
That I have no idea. I'm not going against them now, its too stupid.
Ah okay then. *smiles at Zaf* hey what's that *points to oversized statue of Derek in gold* and why's it there?
Oh we built a statue in his honor. I do explode it often because Derek told me off for blowing up Ireland. Then he fired me from Grand Mage. Then he promoted me to an Elder and I struck a deal last year in April that I could live if I didn't blow up Ireland.
Ah okay, I wondered why that was there. I think we're he only ones still on
*meanwhile watching danisnotonfire*
Oh nm hey again chlo my sis watches Dan, she's forbidden me from watching it *rolls eyes*
Not anymore!
Oh Dragona- on a game show over here called Jeopardy! There was a catagory of video games and te one was the answer of Mass Effect, I got it. They described battling reapers and I was like: oh what is Mass Effect? (See you answer with What is *insert answer*
Hehe, Mass Effect. Considering the latest game has been out for above two years, the series itself is regarded as one of the best trilogies of all time in the video game world. There are STILL people discussing the controversial ending. And other controversial things.
Hey dragona! How are you?
Hey. I'm fine, you?
I'm gooooood. Possibly getting less good...
No it seems okay
Hai xD watching Chamber of Secrets
HP! Harry potter is quite good altough I still think harry should have been with Luna
No way I find him cool with Ginny
Yeah but both Luna and Harry have lost at least one parents. Both can see he dragon deer things. Luna and Harry are so sweet together. Her innocence counters his darkness. By dating Ginny he breaks the bro code.
So he's special
Yeah but special doesn't change the fact that he's going out with his mates sister. The bro code is there for the reason.
Well thats weird but...
But?
Exunctly.

That's awesome. It also gives a good impression of the Reapers if anyone is interested.
*laughs* DYNAMITE
The Candleman’s coming to town today
Kneel down by your bedsides, remember to pray
The Candleman knocks on particular doors
Pray to our God that he doesn’t pick yours
The Candleman’s eyes are like nothing at all
And his face is like Lucifer’s before the fall
He walks with a step that a child can hear
The adults have forgotten to cower in fear
He’s watching, his face like a porcelain mask
What lies behind it, no one dares ask
His hands are dripping with pale white ichor
You’ll hear his voice first; you’ve heard it before
His voice is like silence, or a sea-creature’s moans
Or wax drip-drip-dripping on burial stones
He clutches and grasps, and no one survives
He catches the children and eats up their lives
The Candleman’s clever, the Candleman’s sly
He’ll track you for days till you lay down and die
Once he knows your name, he’ll follow you always
He appears silent at the end of dark hallways
His heart doesn’t beat, but somehow it drives
The wax through his veins; that’s what keeps him alive
He wears a black suit, and bright white kid gloves
There’s nothing he treasures, and nothing he loves
The Candleman’s coming to town today
He’s coming for you, so kneel down and pray.
DVD broke :/ it has been giving me problems since a year ago but it died
I finished the picture of Effie with no illusions, and now she doesn't want me to show you...
I love how its like Sirius Black is bad! And you look at his cousin Bellatrix and its like....mmmm well she's a Death Eater
Bellatrix is evil but I kinda like her (I know she killed Sirius) what was that candle man thing?

*walks over to Adras lab* *knocks and waits*

What do you suggest doing then, Amethyst?
Actually, Adra isn't at her lab right now..
I don't know what to do...
Where is Adra right now?
@Amethyst you could sing. It dance. Or jump up and down. Or run. Or try to juggle.
*picks up a few oranges and attempts to juggle* *all the oranges fall to the ground* ...I can't juggle
*lays head in hands* ugh
...are you ok?
You could learn origami
@zaf what's wrong
Erm, I'm not exactly sure
Is Adra lost?
Just really bored.
Same... :\
Valentines Day wasn't so bad this year. :) my friends party was amazing and I got to be a guy in the ballroom dance we did, so while all my friends were complaining about having to touch all the guys in yhe room, I was smiling to myself. Fun times
Its been such a quiet day. It really has.

Hello snow
Goodbye Silente
Hi/Bye Tempest

Hi Snow! How are you?
Hi/bye snow flake!
*a mist converges around the child like vamp*
*the mist clears and only empty space remains*
I am good. Still got sore feet and voice from last night, but fine. :)
*Adra wakes up, her one foot sore from the shoe, the other one sore from the stab wound*
*She pushes herself to her feet and sees the date*
Hmm...
*Rolls her eyes*
Ok guys. I gotta go now :( Bye!
*smiles seeing Javier* hey!
Javier: hey there

Bye Amethyst
SLEEPOVER AT JENNY'S WOOOOO
lmao we did the chubby bunny challenge i failed and got 3
Can I just say, all that kept me going yesterday (before the party), was the thought of chartreuse tablecloths and all the horror they promise to be with. Annika Barnosky, you have impacted my life
Fun, Mara! :)
-
*She thinks for a moment, and weighs her options, and what may happen*
*Sighs*
*This could be a lot easier if she didn't have a kid*
*Fiddles with her phone*
*Slight idea pops into her head*
*Awkwardly runs to her lab*
Just briefly popping in to say how beautiful you all are to me and how different my life would be without you. <3
#ChaseForBookNine
((Okay, so I had an idea the other day and I might as well do it now))
*Snow strolls into blogland, grinning from ear to ear, wishing she could tell people where she's been*
*Lee's beenncall away on some mision type thing, otherwise he'd be there too*
*she looks around and sighs, wondering what's happened since she was gone*
*tackles star* you are amazing.
Lots, Snow :)
Hello/ Goodbye, Star.
-
*She emerges from her lab again, huffing and puffing, holding her tummy*
*Glances down* Damn, you make moving things hard.
((EXPECT SNOW TO BE HYPER!!! She's likely to near tackle adra))
*she wonders around for a bit, breathing in the familiar air* still the same old blogland...
*she trails off as she sees a shape near adras lab*
*smiling, she walks over*
((You dont actually have to say anything to her, but it's just so people see her))
*Pats her belly* Kay, kid... We'll go get some food, alright?
*Moves towards town*
*she sees her walking away and sighs*
*adra probably has something to do... maybe later*
*Adra sits on a bench*
*Pulls out a sandwich*
*Chews on it idly*
*she strolls around abit more, trying to work out if any of the scenery has changed*
-sorry, slightly distant-
(Kay. ATM I'm thinking of how to do something sooooooo.... oh, and brb, breakfast)
Hey guys.
Anyone that follows my blog. I have a surprise for you all :)
It is lovely, Em
G2g, bye
Bye Snow!
It's only been snowing for an hour, and we already have an inch and a half..
And here we are, driving in it.
I don't think the snow plows did anything. And I know that the overall salt reserve for the town is running low, and they'll be out soon. By the time they get more, the else's season will be over.
The guy in front of us is sliding all over the place, too..
Silence...:
It appears.
Indeed. I hate silence
I don't mind it. I find that silence is a quality that the world could practice a bit more. It might keep humans out of more tricky situations
Its been quiet all day so I just have been hoping for some activity.
I don't think there's to be a lot of it, actually. In all fairness, it IS Valentine's day, and it IS a friday
I guess. I mean I'm lonely in general so nothing I can do and I've been home all day. Oh and I may not have school Tuesday.
"Fools," said I, "You do not know –
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you.
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
Heya *hugs around*
It appalls me that people so often do not simply find a YouTube account and watch all of their videos.
Hello, Hellboy
I made a snowman today
Hai Hellboy
*Adra finishes eating her sandwich and moves to an open area, beginning to make her own little snow fort*
*hangs from tree watching
*She forms her little fort with ease and slides in, putting a blanket down on it to sit on, and curls up*
*throws a snowball at Adra's fort*
Good news everyone! My plane has a water leak, and may very well not fly! Which means you may get to host me in your timezone for another night! *everyone* Huzzah!
#ChaseForBook9
c: --->
*She hears a soft patter*
Hmm...
-
Hey Trip! *hugs* :/ be safe, Kay?
For the record, you are actually behind US now
False alarm.
#ChaseForBook9
Heya Trip! What's this about the plane?
That happens a lot too..
Your U.S, maybe. Colrado's U.S disagrees.
I don't know what state you live in!
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah Trip you're 3 or 2 hours behind :P
*sits down, being ignored*
Heya Snow xS Wasn't ignoring you.
It had a water leak, and has no water, but they're getting crates of bottled water, and the leak won't rip open and cause the plane to explode and kill everyone on board. Hopefully.
If you hear a news story about a plane crashing going to London tonight and I don't turn up ever again I have died. Remember me fondly.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh hi Snow.
#ChaseForBook9
Ohio, that's like... Three states over.
Well. Kentucky/Ohio. Somewhere in there.
-
*She quickly makes a small portal to the outside of her snow fort, and carefully begins to walk*
-
Nice arm, btw
Lovely that, trip...
HELLBOY!!! HIA
That's macabre. Hopefully that will not happen
Oh well you'll be alright Trip. How did you like America? Bet you had fun figuring out the currency
imma put my picture down with the reason my arms like that... I thinkmthat makes sense
*nods* ---->
So wait- where are you originally from, Trip? I thought you were an Ameriminion this entire time o.o
Okay..... I am creeped out here... so I am read 2 stories by the same person, one she has only just started.... and anyway, in here first one, The main character is Snow.... I didn't know this when instarted reading, but I shrugged it off when I found out.
But now, in her second story, the main guy in it is called Leighton.... which is my brothers name.... please, try to convince me this is just coincidence
He's an Engliminion
I was in the wrong account that entire time .-.
What's the author's name, Snow? :P
Lizzy.
I swear, we dont know each other. We're talking now. Its just so creepy. (It's an online story, should have mentioned that)
Ahhh, alright. My bad, I should've picked up on the accent by now ;D
Puritan :P
-
*She ends up on the roof of her tower, sitting on the warm blanket she had originally set out*
*Sipping a glass of grape juice instead of wine*
*She is leaned back against many pillows, watching her feet, a small fire crackling*
*Briefly checks the time on her phone*
*Shakes her head, putting it aside, moving the other glass and bottle of wine to the side, leaning back and looking at the sky*
~Twilight Zone themesong plays~
Engliminion? Cool. Someone to look out for if I do end up going to england next year.
You are about to enter the Twilight Zone.
Sometimes strange things happen... but this is just creepy
I plan on getting as many English minions together as possible so we all can walk around town and terrorize people
I'm still hoping to go to Europe

*She wiggles her toes, after finally gotten her shoes off, and drinks more, breaking a little bread and cheese, and a chocolate or two*
~begins making a fort as well~ Gotta have towers. And a moat and a bridge and little snow alligators and catapults and snow flags...
*watches all the progress*
*Snow is an alligator*
*She finishes off her glass and sighs, pointing out the stars to the sky*
You can't see it, kiddo- but one day I'll teach you these stars... We can sit out here as many nights as we want, until the three of us all fall asleep under the sky*
*Half smiles* I know your father isn't here right now, but Valentine's day isn't just about romance, I suppose.
*She pats her belly*
I suppose you'll have to do.
*runs into the treehouse* Oh my god Javier!
Javier: Meeting in five minutes with Elder Starke.
Yea ok I need to *teleports* *puts robe on quickly and goes to the meeting room and a minute later Elder Starke appears* Elder Starke, to what do I owe the pleasure of a meeting?
Starke: Ah, yes I do owe the pleasure. I have been asked to discuss with you the apparent reports Javier Fyreheart escaped from your hands. With all do respect, Grand Mage Kerias, how did this happen to come into circulation?
I do not wish to explain. You may ask your own Grand Mage.
Starke: I am asking you.
There is nothing to discuss. If that is all you want, Elder Starke, I have business to attend to.
Starke: I knew you would be stubborn. Do you rather I speak to Grand Mage Ravel?
*glares* Speak to him, you'll find yourself thirteen feet under because thirteen is an unlucky number.
Starke: Then cooperate! That is all I ask, Grand Mage Kerias.
I can-
Starke: It is either to me, or to all the Elders.
Hi! Is anybody on?
And it appears that nobody is. :(
Yup. Though we're distant
...
Erm.
You have to give people time to respond.
Less than a minute isn't time, you know
Yay! I'm not alone!
Um....
Sorry? *awkward silence*
And Happy Valentine's Day!
~finishes making fort~ And I shall call it Fort Trenchcoat. And it shall live forever.
Look all that happened was my other insane self released him disguised as me. I spoke to Javier himself and he had almost completed the sentence given.
Starke: is that all?
Yes.
Starke: Thank you, Grand Mage Kerias.
Of course, take care.
Starke: Take care. *his image fades*
*sighs in relief and goes to office*
Ravel: *knocks on door*
Enter.
Ravel: *comes in* Zafira, I have good news that Christopher is alright. And I'm going back to Roarhaven.
Good. I'll go see him. Thank you.
Ravel: *leaves*
*goes back to the paperwork, and files*
Writing a ded. Wbd msd.
Does anybody know danisnotonfire?
Just a random question...
I'm so tiredddd
I had a terrible dreams last night (I can't remember the first few, but the last had many beheadings), I woke up at around 4, and couldn't go back to bed because I had a ton of homework to finish. Which, by the way, I went to bed at around 12 to get some sleep, you know?
So yes, after such an escapade, I am exhausted, and nearly fell asleep in two if my blocks.
*Meh*
I really want to go see my cousin and his soon-to-be wife...
Hm.
That doesn't sound nice, Adra. You have my sympathy.
*hands mysterious box to Adra*
I don't take drugs from strangers, sorry :/
