Book trailers are a tricky thing. When they're done badly, they're a little cringey and vaguely embarrassing. But when they're done right, they're AWESOME.
And because we have the incomparable Mr Tom Percival working on our trailers, we pretty much fit into the awesome category every single time.
I love the fact that it's time to release this. We have other stuff yet to be released/announced, such as what EXACTLY the Theatre of Shadows is and how it can involve everyone around the world. We're always trying to find ways to include our far-flung readers in the fun, and I think we've come up with something special.
But enough from me... Behold the awesome.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4465 Newer› Newest»(Everyone in my family except me was born in January, my mom and sister are on the same day. Strange little me was born in the middle of October.)
Arachne: stop the struggle
*in a song song voice* it'll only make him do it faster!
*tarantula completely wraps up Sil*
Greetings, all!
I'm afraid I cannot stay very long. I have a lot of work to do today, preparing for my first ever convention! Yes! I'm looking forward to it very much.
But I wanted to stop by and say hullo, and find out how everyone was doing, and basically make sure everyone knows that I'm not neglecting Blogland.
Also, everyone should check out http://thelittletownofdour.blogspot.com , which currently has three chapters up.
So how is everyone?
@Blake: O_O That's weird.
In our family (extended as well), everyone seems to have been born in September/October time, so my parents have a nightmare buying presents for all our cousins. :P
(*Nudges Xan toward Khi*
You gonna stand there or say hi?)
Hi, Clara! :) *hugs*
Fine, thanks. :) You?
(Hello Clara)
(Hey Anni! Hey Xan ! How art thou?)
I'm doing . . . eh.
()
*stops struggling, trying not to hyperventilate, watching the tarantula, thinking about how spiders eat their prey*
Go away Mr tarantula.
It is not the fact that dogs could hurt me which is the reason why I would dislike them.
I just have no reason to like them.
Inky, your new profile is, as the kids say nowadays, "totes adorbs."
*tarantula throws a wrapped up Sil at a tree*
Arachne: looks like he is really hungry, he won't wait until your dead
(i return with cake)
(Hello Clars,
(Hello Xan,
(Hello Khi how are all of you?)
(Thanks Anni ! *bows*)
Same Star, most of my family was born around September, October. My grandparents (on my dad's side)
My nana's is in November my granddad's in october, my dad's in September, my uncle craig in September, mum's in july, Jack's in august then me and my other brother in December.
Amber is sweet..wanna stroke her?
()
*cries out*
STOP YOU STUPID TARANTULA!
*hisses at it*
(I am revising for a test uh)
*tarantula hisses back*
*stomps over to sil*
*picks her up and throws her again*
(*hugs Chi tightly* I'm sorry for being a bitch..)
Garrett! You have cake! That means you are a good person, in my book.
*holds out plate hopefully*
If we're talking about birthdays, mine's in June. I remember Star made me a gorgeous card, which I treasure to this day.
(goodbye)
*hugs Xan*
I am fine, thank you. Have you had any problems with Onwa yet?
@Chi: *nods* O_O
I think that people tend to be born in the autumn or he summer because children are more liekly to be concieved in the summer or at Christmas, um, er. :)
Silente, you aren't a bitch. You're a vampire :P
()
*cries out again, growling menacingly enough to give anyone goosebumps*
*conceived
(Bye Eddy Boy)
Yeah, Amber's a bitch.
Never thought of it that way Star...
Ah! Speaking of Star's card, which was typography, I just got a new drawing journal. This one I'm dedicating to typography (of a sort) rather than pictures, and I'm going to make one that is of the names of all my Blogland friends.
It's going to be really pretty. I'll post it somewhere when I finish.
@Clara: I did indeed. :)
*hugs*
(You know what I mean Chi :) Sorry.)
Nope. She's staying quiet.
@Clara: Cool!!! :)
*is very interested in art involving words XD*
That's an interesting way of looking at things, Star.
*laughs*
*tarantula hesitates a moment before approaching her*
(I'm good thanks Xan,
do you want some Clars?
while on the subject of Birthdays, (this will be the last time i mention it Inks ;) mine is tomorrow.)
. . .
It's a logical way of looking at things. :P
If me and John went by the blog, Lira and Lucas would have been born in Feburary. (assuming they were not premature or late)
Happy Early Birthday for tomorrow Gar! *hugs*
Xan don't bother!
(I so can't wait to show you that link Gar)
*VIOLENT GASP*
Tomorrow?!
Goodness, had I known that, I would've prepared a cake! And a party! And presents! And a song-and-dance number!
For now, this will have to do.
*hugs Garrett*
Happy birthday, my grrrrrrrrrreat friend.
I wouldt be able to think of anything for your birthday. All I can do is draw a very crappy picture of Ember on a card for you.
()
*hisses at the tarantula*
Back off!
*struggles*
Speaking of which...
*Takes Khi's hand and they sink into a shadow, rising from the ground in the twin's nursery*
*Picks Lucas up from his crib*
Hey there little man, mommy's home...
*Holds him out to Khi*
And now, I must run. Toodle-oo!
*departs*
(Byii Anni
Are we still rping gar?)
I am glad. Can Onwa do anything different to you?
*tarantula decides to step all over Sil out of curiosity*
*gets hugged by Khi and Clars* thank you both *smiles*
inks, i am now even more intrigued by what the surprise is.
(Really? )
*hugs gar tighter* (great DP btw. Vry evil. And awesome.)
Much more. Where I can't use magic she can. She can use any type I've encountered...needless to say as an assassin I have encountered many types..
()
*cries out and winces*
Get off me you stupid spider! Why are you doing this??
*waves* -Zaf
Examples?
(*Waves vigorously at Zaf*)
Arachne: he is a beast who needs food. He find you somewhat intriguing
(*waves at Zaf*)
Remember Death's glare? She can do that for one.
()
Does that mean it won't eat me??
(Hey Zaf, how art thou?)
Arachne: *grins* I never said that
*tarantula bites Sil*
()
*screams, struggling, headbutting the tarantula*
CALL HIM OFF!
*tilts head* Anything else?
*gets hugged even tighter* thank you again chi, my profile pic is the disturbed logo (they're a band who's music i like)
yup i am really intrigued Inks, and yes we shall continue the rp you can start please :)
*waves to Zaf* how are you?
Racine: now why would I do that? *raises an eyebrow*
*Waves at Zaf*
(Kay)
Tawnee: let's go back *smiles*
*arachne
(*hugs Chi tightly*)
Many, many things. She can turn people to stone, shrink them, crush bones at a glace...
()
Cause if you don't when I get out of this I'll kill you!
Arachne: you can not kill me *laughs* your hands are toed
*looks down at Lucas* Hello my baby boy... *kisses his forehead and takes him into her arms*
*sits down on the bed next to Blake*
I see. How do I kill her?
(*hugs Silente tighter, almost crushing her ribs* ^.^)
Ok *picks Taw up in the romantic way* lets go *smiles*
*Picks Lira up gently, cradling her in his arms*
They're getting big... and Lucas can already walk.
*Leans on Chi, resting his head against her*
Tawnee*smiles* okay
(*hugs Chi just as tightly* I've missed you..)
Uh...you kill me?
()
Haha. Funny aren't you.
*struggles against the web*
I'm fine. Brother is here so I'm happy.-Zaf
I know. And I've missed most of their lives already... *sighs and leans her head on his*
(I know you have sis. I'm sorry.)
Without killing you?
Arachne: now my baby is getting impatient *tarantula starts to eat Sil*
(Its fine..)
Um...you can't.
()
*screams and writhes, hissing and snarling and growling at the tarantula*
Nothing is invulnerable. It is just a case of finding out how to kill it.
Arachne: this has been a disappointment, vamp. Thought you may put up more of a resistance *grins*
*shadow walks back to the house*
Tawnee: *sniles* you can let me down, I must weigh a ton
Okay then, I don't know how.
()
*looks at arachn* screw this.
*strains and grabs a knife from the sheath on her wrist, cutting her way free then stabbing the tarantula lightning fast*
*kicks it hard, crushing the side of its head*
*tarantula squeals in surprise *
Arachne: *anger flares* how dare you!
(May Blake V2 help Sil? .-.)
*Sets Lira in his lap, holding her with one arm and putting the other around Khi*
They'll always know their mother, no matter how long you're away.
()
*laughs*
You tried to get it to eat me idiot. I won't be eaten.
I see.
Just do not let her out. Are we clear?
Arachne: foul monster! *speeds up to Sil*
We are clear.
()
*flips back and crouched, eyes trained on Ar*
Arachne: *scowls at Sil* why wont you accept that you are the prey?
Good. *nods*
Nope your not that heavy love *carries Taw upstairs*
Tawnee: you are too polite *kisses him*
Well...i'll try anyway...
()
Because I'm not!
(Taking the lack of response as a no...)
*Shivers violently with fear and cold*
Mum and dad have gone to the hospital to see my uncle... They left really early this morning... And we haven't heard anything from them....
(*hugs Death*)
Arachne: you are my prey! *bares fangs*
And you will succeed. She will not be getting out.
*Walks slowly over to Blake and hugs him tight*
Yeah, because They have my unusually clear blue eyes. *kisses Blake*
(I need to go guys, cya all tomorrow night! love you all and can't wait to come back to get to know gar and inky better... I've hardly talked to you guys. And obviously to spend some more time with my sister Sil and best friend Xan *hugs everyone again*
And of course with my family. *kisses Lira and Lucas again*
Night everyone!)
(Hello Rose *offers a hug*)
*kisses her back* i like being a gentleman.
(Night Khi! it would be nice to know you a bit better too!)
(*Hugs Penguin*
Bye Chi...)
(Goodbye, Chione.)
Tawnee: *smiles* I never dreamt of the day when I would have met such a nice guy
(night chi. Love you!)
Okay. Right. *nods*
()
*bares her own fangs in response*
I am not your prey.
*Kisses Khi*
(Goodnight, perfect)
Arachne: you are too! *growls* You killed my baby, now you must die!
(Bye, Chi!)
*hugs Rose* Hello...
(My sister said that the call mum and dad got early this morning would mean my Uncle is on his last legs...
I'm just going to curl into a ball and die now...)
As soon as your nose starts bleeding, come and find me.
*Hugs Rose tightly*
It'll be okay...
*Snuggles into Tia's warmth and hides her teary eyes*
Hey...
()
*laughs*
Try it. He tried to eat me.
(don't Death! I know how scary it is...my 2 year old cousin has cancer)
*Pulls Blake into Tia's hug and sighs heavily*
Warm... And Blake, I really, really don't think it will be...
Okay. I'll try find you.
Arachne: *produces a poison blade*
*swipes at Sil*
(good night Khi)
aww thank you love, *puts Taw down on the bed*
you're a lovely person too.
Tawnee: *kisses him passionately*
Tawnee: *kisses him passionately*
()
*flips back and snarls*
(My Uncle has Adrenal Cancer... And his rumours are bleeding... And they can't do anything about it because it's on a massive vein...
So he's slowly bleeding to death...)
()
*Appears in a shadow between Sil and Arachne*
Well this isn't- oh hi. *Looks back and forth between them* I'll just ah... be on my way.
*Sinks back into the darkness*
(*hugs death tightly* I think that's what my baby cousin may have )
Claire: *walks into view*
Arachne: Don't snarl at me like that, wench!
He passed away fifteen minutes ago...
*waves at Claire* hey squirt.
()
Hey Blake..
I'm sorry, I can't stay here...
(Death, im sorry *hugs*)
()
Don't attack me bitch.
Arachne: I will attack anyone who attacks my baby! *runs at her*
(I am sorry, Rose.)
Claire: *glares at Silente* Hi, vampire.
(*Hugs Rose tighter* I'm so sorry...)
*kisses Taw just as passionately*
(Rose... I would like to tell you that I know how much it hurts, but I don't. I only know how much it hurts after.
When my grandfather was in a hospital, they said he'd be okay. And I visited him, from time to time, and we talked...
And then he died. They lied to me. Everyone lied to me. He wasn't getting better at all. I could have made those last few moments count. But I didn't even know he had cancer until they told me he was dead.
Everything ends, Rose. Just try to make every moment count.)
Tawnee: *kisses his neck* I love you
*grins* well done. You know my species.
()
I will attack anything that attacks me! *tackles her*
(*hugs Rose tightly* *im sorry doesn't cut it..*)
Good bye, Rose. Good bye.
Arachne: *stabs Sil in stomach*
(My grandfather passed away two years ago. He had severe Alzheimer's, didn't even know we were in the room when he passed... We know your pain, Rose, and we're here for you.)
()
*gasps, punching ar across the jaw*
*tilts head* Who is this?
Claire: Thank you.
Arachne: *gasps*
bitch! *strangles Sil*
This is Claire.
()
*gags and breaks her wrists*
Arachne: *winces*
*head butts her*
()
*laughs and breaks her nose with one punch*
Arachne: *stands up and stumbles away from Sil*
I emailed you Rose, I get your pain.
I had my uncle die of ALS six years ago. That's why I really appreciated Derek doing the Ice Bucket Challenge.-Zaf
*tilts head* Hello, Claire.
Claire: Hi. Who are you?
I am Commander Keating of the Alliance Navy.
Claire: Okay. I'm Claire. I'm too young to have a job.
*laughs* she kills people she deems bad. So she's a bit like a mini you..
()
*stalks after her, one hand at her stomach, holding the stab wound closed*
Arachne: *shouts* stay back!
I love you too Tawnee *kisses her forehead*
(I'm sorry rose)
Tawnee: *continues kisses him*
*runs fingers through his hair*
()
I thought I was your PREY bitch.
I doubt that.
Claire: I'm a Vigilante.
You know that is illegal, right?
Claire: It's not my fault the police can't do their jobs right. If they did, I wouldn't have to kill people.
*looks blank for a moment*
... I have to go.
Arachne: Im not a fool. I know when to ditch a meal
*tilts head* huh. Whats up?
()
What's wrong? Don't like when food bites back?
Claire: ... Nothing... I'm fine. Not that you care, vampire. *turns and runs*
*runs a hand through Taw's hair while kissing her*
Arachne: food should stay dead *runs at Sil*
Tawnee: *starts to take off top*
*watches her run*
Huh. Weird.
()
*dives to the side, crying out*
()
*Pokes up from the darkness again, just it time to get kicked in the face by Arachne, inadvertently tripping her in the process*
Here Aga- OW!
Arachne: *laughs like a maniac* are you hurt vampire? is that posion getting to you? not so tough now!
Rather... She is what, ten?
(I will be back soon.)
Nine.
()
Poison?
(what does the poison do?)
(its the same poison she affected taw with, it causes immense pain, which kills the patient if not treated)
Arachne: *giggles* the poison on the blade...
*takes her top off* i know what your thinking
Tawnee: *tilts head* oh, do you now?
()
*grunts, curling in on herself slightly, the grunt turning to a whimper, the whimper to a cry, the cry to a scream and the scream to silence as her back arches, mouth wide, screaming its lack of sound*
Arachne: The poison worked faster than normal, with all that movement *grins* night, vampire
I might do, shall we find out what you are thinking?
Tawnee: *grins* go on then
(Good.
In a way this will be an interactive ded...as in you lot are helping! I know the older gen like long dedications, I also know I'm terrible at long dedications. So I want you to write a bit about what I ded to please. Thank you.
I dedicate this page firstly to family.
I love my family, they mean so much to me. My real life one and my viral ones. You're all vital to my life and I love you. I have online sister and a real sister. So I want to ded to family.
And also to Sophia Keating.
Soph you've helped me through so much. I know I'm broken but if you hadn't been there I'd be even more broken...maybe even gone. So thank you for being an amazing person, for putting up with me, and for being you.
Please add you own reasonings..)
(Hear hear!)
()
*shakes, eyes swimming in and out of focus, wide and pained*
*she can't breathe, the pain is all she feels*
*pulls up covers*
*skips all r-rated stuff that no-one wants to read*
*sighs happily* that was great, honey
Arachne: *summons baby tarantula* look boy, I fetched you a meal *places tarantula on Sil*
Tawnee: Life is perfect *kisses him*
()
*shakes slightly, a numbness spreading from her stomach, a nice one*
*fights against it*
(Hear hear)
yes it is and so are you *kisses her and taps a finger on her nose*
Arachne: *walks away*
Tawnee: *scrunches up face* thank you sunshine
(why is Sil always being tortured?)
()
*coughs out*
You think....human poison....will kill me?
(she wanted to get attacked my Arachne *hugs Death*)
Arachne: *turns* poison is poison at the end of the day
(Uh...cause Viv isn't on and she is unlucky and people she knows as friends are always busy leaving her to get in trouble?)
()
*laughs*
Vampires...aren't as weak...
*crushes the baby tarantula*
(It's not my Time just came on... My author is sobbing...)
Arachne: you are so heartless that you would kill a child? *enraged*
(I take offence to that.)
()
*A hand grabs Arachne by the shoulder*
So two things. One, you kicked me in the face. Two, you're killing a friend of mine.
*Shadows swirl around the hand, shaping into spikes*
So I'm gonna have to ask you to die.
