Ladies and gentlemen...
When I start writing Book 9, I had a title in mind. And it was a good title. It was a glorious title. It echoed a phrase we'd already seen in the books themselves, and it was cool, and haunting, and awesome...
But for some reason, it wasn't a "Final Book" title.
I don't know why. Some titles suit the last book of a series. Some suit the first. This title — my lovely, glorious title — suited the first.
I'm not going to tell you what it was, because I do plan to use it at some stage — and I never let a good idea go to waste.
But suddenly I had a problem. I needed a new title.
I needed a new title that sounded like a final book. I needed a new title that fit alongside Kingdom of the Wicked and Last Stand of Dead Men. I needed something almost... poetic.
And so I came up with this.

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 4968 Newer› Newest»Hello guys!
NO I AM SORRY ;-;
YES I AM VERY HAPPY NOW CASS <3 *huggles*
*returns huggles* <3
How is everyone?
Haha oh well then.
Hi all! :)
Hello Matex. I don't think I've met you before! I'm Amethyst! Nice to meet you!
Ugh I wanna play Spyro Gateway to Glimmer or Year of the Dragon or the old Crash Bandicoot games OMG
I think I'll probably go. Since my phone's autocorrect is going mental and every three words I have to correct something because it's magically changed three into ruder somehow.
Also if anyone's interested I started a new herpes of SP fanfic about a secret order.
http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk
Aloha Amethyst! Ah who knows, I sort of just pop in for chat every few months, always hard to keep track of whos who haha.
So, dedication, again? ._.
... I'm just not going to comment on that. :( *puts Sony on his list of enemies then puts a half next to it since the PlayStation is awesome*
YES DED AGAIN
HOW ARE CHAI LATTES SO GOOD OMG
Hy can't you autocorrect something like is or something perfectly harmless? :(
Herpes...?
Oh my god
I'm going to wake people up if I carry on laughing omg
I meant SERIES.
OH MY GOD HERPES
I think my story will start attracting the wrong kind of people, now. Thanks Sony.
...I think more things have auto correct to frustrate us further... Usually, auto correct corrects things to make it worse, not better.
I'm laughing hysterically
So tonight I have made both the worst entrance and exit that I've ever had on this blog. Screw that. I'm not going to leave now. I will stand and fight autocorrect to the bitter end. Or lager end. Or vodka end or whatever drink you prefer.
Dedication:
Well, I am currently living away from home, to go to university. Home is a farm in a country town, now I live in an apartment in the city, where there are no pets allowed; and I miss my pets, mainly my cats, but horses and ducks and goats too, and the pony - oh god, the pony.
Pets make great friends, they are almost always agreeable and they never give up on you or pick on your tastes. I often watch movies with my cats, and they also love all the same music that I do! :3
And that has got me thinking about our Golden God, and in particular, his pets. And it actually broke my heart over the past few months cause I think pretty much all of Derek's pets have passed away.
So this is dedicated all and any of Derek Landy's deceased pets; may they rest in peace, and continue to comfort (or annoy) him even in the after life. And if you ever lost any pets then consider this a dedication to them as well!
The World's End references ftw.
Hence why I disabled auto correct
Great ded Matex.
Awh, that's a lovely ded man!<3
Omg hahahaha :') this is brilliant!
I just love reading "herpes of Skulduggery Pleasant"
Flora: take this as a warning. Bully people and Derek makes characters die. Have unsafe sex and Derek gives the characters herpes.
Thanks :)
Hahahaha, Herpes? Perfect.
That's an amazing ded <3
And I empathize with what you said at the beginning of it, especially for next year - I won't even be in the same country as all my family and pets :/
*Crashes out of a shadow onto his rear*
*Stands and brushes himself off*
Hello everyone, how's things?
*smiles sadly* to Smokey, my beloved dead kitty kitty.
Speaking of deceased pets- you know in my room I often would see Smokey come past my door, and now I sometimes will see him rub up against my door.
And my two gerbils- they do listen, I was crying once and Snowball rubbed against my cheek to wipe tears away, and Coco did too, they didn't understand why but they both knew I was sad.
Hey Blake!
@Dragona: Oh dear lord. Derek really is a cruel man.
:P
Ok, if anyone reads through the comments and misses out on my autocorrect they'll wonder why everyone is laughing about herpes.
:) It's funny though. And whoever misses out can read back over it.
Hello Amy, Zaf, and anyone else I happen to know.
Now that I think about it hi to people I don't know, rather rude of me to be unfriendly.
i screw everything up ugh fml
Omg I'll gladly have unsafe sex with Ravel oh my god yes, that man is gorgeous and perf
Worst moment of my life right here...
Hello Maralie. What happened?
It's okay, Dragona. Not many people will know of it :D
@Flora, oh my god, that's awful!! I still have a few years till I go to a different country, I don't know how I'm going to deal with that! I'm going home in two days for the Easter Holidays so at least I can see my kitties then :3
@Zaf, naaww, that's cute! :) I had a cat called Smokey too! :'(
HELLO PEOPLE WHO JUST ARRIVED
SORRY FOR BEING DISTANT I AM TRYING NOT TO LAUGH TOO MUCH BECAUSE EVERYONE IS IN BED
I'm not in bed...
Y'know out of context that'd sounds kinda weird xD
Well, despite it being the worst moment of my life I'm glad my phone made everyone laugh.
hi Blake!
I'm in bed...IN MY ZEBRA ONESIE :D
I think you meant worst moment of your life so far... :) You never know with life...
*looks at bed longingly*
I'm not in bed :'(
*It's 8am... I haven't slept*
Hello Matex, I don't believe we've met
Ah I feel like we have but then I ghost comments a lot without saying anything so maybe I just remember you hahaha.
*shakes Blake's hand*
Pleased to meet you!
I think I win. I'm in my Batman onesie. Because Batman and yeah.
Amethyst, Simpsons Movie reference?
@Matex: It's going to be sad but manageable (just) I think :) whoop for going home and seeing your cats! :D where do you live?/where are at uni?/why are you going to a different country? (I'm being so nosey :P sorry!)
You as well
*Shakes Matex's hand*
A black mage I see, necromancy or something else..?
...Maybe... usually everything piles into one and I just make references without noticing... *nods*
WHAT'S WRONG MARA?!
What's up Mara? <3
Tbh, I think I win because I'm wearing Where's Wally shorts so
Guys, this isn't a competition - all of the things are awesome :P
Luciana: counter argument: Baconman. He just wins.
Just sitting here sobbing. My poor, poor soul.
@Blake, I'm not sure, the Black Mage is a Final Fantasy reference - it's definitely not the same thing as Necromancy (although that would be most people's assumptions). Black Magic in FF was just attack magic really, I don't think SP has an equivalent type... (Actually Black Mages could cast fire spells, among other things, so it sort of over laps with Pyromancy)
@Flora, haha it's ok! I'm in Melbourne (capital city) at the moment, my home town is four hours away. My university course is 3 years long, but you can also do one extra year of work placement/ full time work, in your specialty, for which you can go overseas :)
+{%]+§.^^€^+{£{=§€^+…?~}<<{]-()(#-_;-#((-?_#### hellllllll.
Ignore the bloodybloody bacon. I meant bat. My phone must bebe fatty fat fun funny fatty ratty duck fuck you Sony faulty finally.
THAT IS ACTUALLY MEANT AS A FF REFERENCE?! I WAS GOING TO ASK BUT I WAS SCARED I WAS WRONG OHMYGOD MAN
So my phone can clone wordswords as well asas change them? Interesting. Its found another way toto ruin my life I see.
Is autocorrect supposed toto tell you before you post the comment because I only see after...
I've never played Final Fantasy it doesn't look like my sort of thing.
LUCY. DUDE. FINAL FANTASY BLACK MAGE IS LIKE, THE BEST THING, EVER. <3
you want the best
so sorry
that's clearly not me
this is all i can be
I gotta go to sleep now guys before my mum gets angry and before my mood plummets... Goodnight guys ilya <3 *huggles everyone*
Am I still not good enough?
Am I still not worth that much?
I'm sorry for the way my life turned out
Sorry for the smile I'm wearing now
Guess I'm still not good enough
[hugs Mara]
I'm sweating at my phone soso I'm going toto gogo too because my dog has shut up and I'm tired and my phone is ruining my life soso yeah.
http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk
*swearing. My phone hasn't got me so angry I'm sweating.
x_x
Bye!
bai bai Dragona and Lucy!~
Bye Dragona and Luce!
Just had a thought :o Is there any chance that "Dying of the Light" means dying FROM the light? It's possible right? RIGHT? This has me so stressed.
Yes, killed by light. (or the forces of light - somebody gets killed by bad guys)
Also, book 9 should be called Skulduggery Pleasant: Darquesse
Because she deserves at least one book named after her, whereas Skulduggery gets loads of books.
Or Skulduggery Pleasant: Be Brave
And I've just had a thought:
*whispers* Hello?
HI guys! Wbvd, writing the final scene of my book.
*hugs Mara* What's wrong?
Hello Kes!
'Lo, Amethyst!
*slams head on keyboard* I SKIPPED AHEAD TO THE END BECAUSE I WAS STUCK AND NOW I CAN'T WRITE THE END EITHER
ARGH
*hugs* *pats head* It'll be okay. You'll figure something out! :)
Just some thoughts that went wrong. Enough reading. Bring on the Frozen!
In book 4 - Dark Days
Skulduggery to Valkyrie: You've got plenty of time to regret things you haven't done yet
Valkyrie: I'm... not sure what that means.
.....
(on the same page)
Skulduggery: I wonder if they've seen the end of the world. I love end-of-the-world visions.
/ interpretation: though he had just seen an alien world get destroyed, and is mentally unhinged, it is hinted that he knows Valkyrie will one day end the world. Maybe he knows that she knows she's Darquesse, maybe he thinks Solomon Wreath picked her as a Death Bringer who will fulfill their prophecy.
Or maybe, just maybe, it's Landy, telling us that when Darquesse goes to end the world, Skulduggery will love it, and won't be able to stop it once he comes to his senses.
But let's face it - if one of them has to enter the Accelerator, and the other live a life without one another, they'd rather end it together.
However, that implies that everyone else who they care about dies, so all they have is each other.
Just some thoughts.
*hisses*
Thanks :)
I just...urgh. I'm so close, y'know? I have less than 10,000(probably less than 5, if I'm being honest) words left to write, and NOW writer's block decides to make it's move.
I hate it.
D'you write at all?
Derek! Awesome name I can't belive I didn't think of that. From Amelia.
Oh my G.O.S.H! Can you please make a movie?! Or ask someone to make a movie for you? I NEED A MOVIE! (Of Skulduggery Pleasant) thanks, love ya ;) from Taylor (Amelia's sister) P.S. Please look on Amelia's blog for ideas for a next book.
*won't be able to stop it = can't overpower Darquesse
I would write, except my brain never gives me stuff to write about... It's really sad.
Hey, Tia!
I think that SPOILERS
Ravel will sacrifice himself. I mean, I would, if I were in that much pain.
HI, Amelia!
Amethyst, I would give ANYTHING to have that problem. Do you want to trade? You can have to many ideas to know what to do with, and I can just keep my one.
Good luck with the book, and if you have less than ten thousand words to write, you're mostly finished, so you will eventually finish it without having to change or plan things.
But yeah, writer's block sucks.
That could happen, but would Ravel do that?
I would too
Tia, I have stuff I need to change after I finish anyway, so that's not the problem. Thanks, though :)
For purely selfish reasons, I think he probably would. Or maybe from guilt...?
Hi, Zaaaaaaaaf! *waves*
YES, TRADE!
And I gotta go outside and stuff -_-
So see you all later if I come back before you all leave. Bye
Hi. *sighs* I think its in Ravel's best interest to just sacrifice himself, he's suffering enough, to end it is the best. Maybe he could die at least happy he tried to redeem himself despite his crimes....
Byeeee, Amethyst!
Zaf, yeah.
~SPOILERS~
That's what I've been thinking. Because, honestly, the only other way he's going to get out of the pain is if Darquesse develops a conscience, which, let's face it, isn't happening anytime soon.
#ChaseForBook9
I love the skullduggery pleasant series.
Hi, Lord of Leitrim(can I call you Lei?)! You've come to the right place :)
Kestrel couldn’t breathe. She was standing on the sand in the arena, waiting for Lord Danom Dularke to come out so that she could fight what might be the last duel of the tournament, and she couldn’t breathe. She had never had nerves like this before, and she didn’t have asthma like Delila, so that had to be what it was. And it was definitely understandable; if she lost today, she would have to go back to her father, and even if she won, she might still have to fight Julia. And she didn’t think she could beat Julia. She had seen her practice.
Deep breaths, she told herself, her hands shaking. She hadn’t drawn her swords yet, as she was nearly ten minutes early and the ref hadn’t shown up, but if she had she would certainly have dropped them. Trying to picture Delila and Zaken in the stands only served to make her more nervous; she had promised Li that she would win. Another deep breath. And another.
Slowly, her breathing returned to normal, but her hands were still shaking. The stands were filling with people, but their noise was pushed into the background, blurred by her overacting nerves. In an annoying juxtaposition, her eyes were overacting to compensate, and she could count every grain of sand, see every bead of sweat on her nose.
She risked a glance at the watch Delila had gotten her. Five more minutes. She could do this. Closing her eyes, she stared at the red on the backs of her eyelids. Calm.
It wasn’t working. Goddammit, it wasn’t working, and now she was going to get killed-either by her father or by Lord Dularke, it didn’t seem to matter which-because she was panicking. Why the hell was she even panicking? If it looked like she was in trouble, she could always yield.
A yield that he didn’t have to accept if he didn’t want to. Crap.
Another glance at her watch. Three minutes. She was noticing irrelevant details instead of forming a plan, noticing how the black band stood out against her wrist, how the sand towards the middle of the arena was darker than the sand towards the edges. As soon as she had that thought, she tried to shut it out, not wanting to think what it was that caused it.
One minute. This was ridiculous. She knew it was ridiculous. And yet, she couldn’t slow her heartbeat, stop her shaking, regulate her breathing.
Thirty seconds.
The ref stepped onto the sand from a small door in the stands, and gestured to her to come forward. She walked towards him as if in a daze as he did the same in the opposite direction, presumably to Lord Dularke.
She stopped about ten paces away from him, and a couple of seconds later, Lord Dularke emerged from the shadows and did the same. He was smiling, she saw, his ripped green t-shirt hanging easily on his shoulders.
The ref was talking now, something about who they were and how this could very well be the last battle of the tournament, but all she could hear was Lord Dularke’s even, calm breathing, and all she could see was how relaxed he was.
She managed out make out the ref saying the words “Take your en garde position, contestants.”
Dragging arms that felt like they were made of lead and moving through molasses, she reached for the hilts of her swords, hands closing over the warm leather that surrounded their hilts. Somehow, this was comforting, and the quiet snick the blades made as she drew them from their sheathes on her back snapped her back into focus.
Her posture straightened and Lord Dularke’s smile flickered for a second, but then returned to his face as he drew his massive broadsword from its place at his hip.
“Mark. Set. Go,” said the referee, punctuating the words with a short burst from his whistle and then retreating into the stands.
“Ready?” Lord Dularke asked, looking like he couldn’t care less.
“When you are,” she replied, surprised to find that she had somehow regained the capability of speech.
And so they began to circle each other, neither willing to make the first move.
What do you think?
Exactly. I just rather him dead. I can't bear the thought....I just can't!! It kills me each and every day I remember, I have his picture by my bed on my wall and I wake up to him...
^ Some of that's supposed to be italicized, but I forgot to do the things, so...
Zaf, the idea of his eternal suffering makes me smile.
I am a huge fan of the skulduggery pleasant series. It's funny when irish things are ridonkulously good(cant believe that 'ridonkulous' is on autocorrect!)
Well, Lei, you're not alone.
Do you have a taken name/OC/chosen discipline?
It hurts me
Hello Lord, where are you Grand Mage of? I'm...wait you probably know
Lol, Zaf :)
Most people do know *shrugs*
So modest :P
I has to go-oo, byeee!
Bai Kessie
Hello?
Hai
Hello! How are you?
Sleepy
Oh. Okay :)
But im here for a bit
:) Okay. I don't know what to do now though...
Nor do i honestly
The threat of my loved characters getting killed is hanging ominously over my life.
herro?
My brain just got hit with a possible-Skulduggery-tragic-ending-overload complete with possible dying characters... :(
WHY?!?
*moans* *wails* *cries*
And I'm not here. Bye!
Hi.

Wow. I haven't been on in so long.

#ChaseForBook9
Hello peeps.
I'm so proud, I'm actually writing today! :)
I haven't been able to write since Christmas so this is amazing.
Congrats, Em! That's great! *hugs*
Mbd/msd, by the way...
#ChaseForBook9
If my name were Clara
What a wonder I would be
Instead of being Annika
I would be Clara Crowley
I could do anything I wanted to
And that I firmly think is true
Clara makes me think of dreams, of summertime, and avenues
Through Paris, where the crystal moonlight glitters on the Seine
It make me think of walking hand-in-hand with someone who
Thinks I am their world, and their very best friend
It reminds me of peach tea and little silver spoons
And evenings spent on metal benches gazing at the moon
Clara is like maps a little faded at the edges
Showing train tracks crossing all over the globe
It’s like laces and frills and little dainty wedges
Of pies and cakes that you can’t make at home
It puts me in mind of top hats and petticoats and canes
And gentlemen who lend you their umbrella when it rains
Clara is like Heaven, and adventure, and a need
To see the world and all the secret treasures that it holds
It’s like being on a riverboat, sailing through the reeds
It’s like boots made of leather and watches made of gold
It’s like I could go from Innisfree to the magic wells ‘neath Tara
If my name were not Annika, and instead, it were Clara
Crowley is the sort of name that echoes in your bones
And makes you feel like something big sleeps just below the world
It’s the sort of name that’s dry leaves rustling over graveyard stones
It’s the sort of name that feels like a dark flag being unfurled
It’s a name that sounds like espionage, or spying in the dark
Or like very secret meets in a quiet, foggy park
Crowley is like thunder, but it’s also like the snow
It’s like candlelight that flickers, or a sweet piano song
It’s like when strangers know something they know that you don’t know
It’s like dining room tables that are impossibly long
It puts me in mind of cleverness, and a sharp, pale jaw
And the cracking of the gavel on an unjust civil law
Crowley is a monster who could also become kind
It sounds like chimney sweeps step-in-timing on a rooftop
It sounds like a facade that rich and poor men hide behind
It sounds like the hooves of Death’s horse, clip-clop
It sounds like a teacup being filled all up with tea
It sounds like a name that I would want to be for me
The words are soft and growly, a name that could go far
If I were Clara Crowley, then I would be a star
As you can see,
I have finally decided on my Taken Name.
Congratulations to you, too, Clara! It suits you. *nods*
#ChaseForBook9
*sets a golden name-plate on the check-in desk*
*CLARA CROWLEY*
*stands back to admire handiwork*
Dandy.
*looks up*
*sees Aretha*
*waves*
Hullo, Aretha! I feel like I haven't seen you in a while. Did you know I have taken over ownership of the Midnight Hotel?
Yes, I did know. I read most all of the old comments. So even though you haven't seen me, I've been watching. I know things.
#ChaseForBook9
Did Luci just poof...?
#ChaseForBook9
SORRY I WAS SNAPCHATTING MATEX AND PRACTICING GUITAR AND EDITING IMPERFECT
It's so easy to kill
This I learned by watching you
If I have to, I will
It's not pretty, but it's true
I am through lying still
Just a body to be beaten
And, if I'm lucky, left for dead
So who's scary now?
No mercy! It's a bit too late
The game is on- don't run, don't hide, don't wait!
'Cause if we've got no honor, then we've got no shame
If it's in self defense, then we will take no blame
This is our battle cry
I'm giving you a head start
You're going to need it
'Cause I fight like a girl
I haven't lyric-spammed Emilie Autumn in too long, so here you go.
#ChaseForBook9
XD Don't be sorry, Luci! And, by all means, go be productive!
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs dejectedly*
I'm afraid I must go be productive as well . . .
I'm here but I'll be distant because I'm editing!
I miss Kravvvvvvvvv! D:
Even though I've already been to my regular class. It's so addicting!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, ok. Bye Clara! *hugs*
That's cool, Luci. I'll probably be distantly here for about half an hour.
#ChaseForBook9
Soooo Luce....wanna send some Imperfect my way? Yeah? Yeah. Kthanxbai.
:D
Hi Flora!
#ChaseForBook9
Ugh why anyone would want to read this crap is beyond me omg
JUST SEND ME SOME OKAY? OKAY.
:D
Hello Aretha! How're you? :)
I'm fine, thanks. How're you?
#ChaseForBook9
I know what you mean Luce.
I don't know why anyone would want to read any of my crap either.
Hi Flora!
EVERYONE WRITES SO BRILLIANTLY YOU CAN ALL SHUSH
Hey Em! :)
And I'm good thanks, Aretha :)
Hey Em!
*groans* This manuscript SUCKS Flora. You aren't reading it. Sorry. I'm not going to let you torture yourself like that.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE WHYYYY I'VE ALREADY READ LOADS YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HANGING LIKE THAT
It all sucks man.
If I wasn't so stubborn, I'd scrap it now. :|
I know it's not as bad as you say it is.
Tbh I know it isn't because I've read some before and it's brilliant.
Don't put your writing down so much!
I wanna read it :3
Imperfect sucks ;-;
I plan on finishing editing then locking it away somewhere or deleting it idek.
But then all the hours you've spend on it would become null and void :(
You used to be so excited over Imperfect - what happened?
Seleer Press happened.
Isn't that right Lulu??
I'm just finishing it for the sense of accomplishment.
*laughs* I was an idiot. I'm a terrible writer. Imma stick to philosophy, I think.
DEDICATION TIME
Hello.
Naww i thought writing was your dream?? You were talking about getting stuff published!
Ugh, you have got to be kidding me! -.-
My dream sucks; I'm terrible at writing.
Hey Draggie~
Obviously you both wrote some good crap.
Someone else better ded, otherwise I'll write a really depressing one that only Zath would appreciate... :|
You are so not terrible at writing and it is an admirable dream.
You've never read my writing, so how would you know...?
It's an impossible dream. Planned out well, but still impossible. Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go askew... *shrugs* I'll be a teacher or something. I'll never get anywhere by writing.
If anyone's interested:
http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk
I'd kind of like some feedback on it so yeah.
But you're not terrible a writing.
If you were terrible I would just shut up and secretly think "well maybe that's for the best".
But I'm not going to let some arseholes (sorry for the language) make you give up on your dream. I don't know what happened with Seleer Press, but everyone goes through confidence issues with their writing, and a lot of people give up.
Some people don't think they're good enough until it's too late for them to do anything. But you already have that confidence and you shouldn't let go of it.
You're only seventeen. Okay, you might not think you're writing is the best ever, but you've got time to change that and improve yourself. And, to be honest, you're starting point is already pretty awesome so you won't ever have that hard a journey.
What I'm saying is that writing is your dream, and okay, worry sometimes. Hate your writing. Everyone does. But go back it. Don't just write off your dream because you've already worked so hard for it and you haven't even begun to touch upon the amazing things it will bring if you stick with it.
When I write I never make any plans. I have a "general idea" and then see where the story takes me. Because I can't write with characters who fit to a story - I write so the story fits the characters.
