The Requiem Ball

Ooooh we have such plans for you...

The next few weeks and months are going to be choc-full of announcements and reveals. In a matter of DAYS, for example, you'll be finding out more about this "270914" thing, and after that you'll be getting all kinds of juicy goodness. But TODAY, my Minions, is the day I announce something that has been in my head for YEARS.

I am proud, excited and absolutely delighted to announce that a special, exclusive gathering will take place in London on publication day, August 28th. I give you...

The Requiem Ball.


This is an invitation only get-together — a party, if you will — with 120 places up for grabs in very special competitions for  Ireland and UK readers. You'll get the details of these competitions and other ways to nab yourself an invitation over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on this blog.

But you know I'd never leave the rest of you out of the action COMPLETELY, so we're going to have 250 party packs, jammed full of goodies, ready to send to you so that you can throw your own simultaneous Requiem Ball Parties at home. There'll be loads of stuff to download, whichever far-off country you're in, be it Ame-rica (am I pronouncing that right?) or Burkina Faso (yes, we notice EVERYTHING).

The Requiem Ball is basically my thank you to all of my Minions, for creating such a fun, creative, and frankly down-right crazy community around these books. I want to bring everyone together for one almighty celebration for the final book, and it's going to be EPIC.

Luciana said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

LUCIFER IF THIS WAS YOUR DOING THEN THANK YOU!

*BEGINS PLOTTING FOR WAYS THAT SHE'D BE ABLE TO DO THIS IF THERE ISNT AN AGE RESTRICTION*

Luciana said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Anonymous said...

I gotta go now... See you guys! :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

OMG I LOVE MY STEP DAD! HE SAYS IF I WIN AND WORK OUT HOW MUCH IT COSTS AND HOW TO GET THERE AND EVERYTHING THAT HE'LL ACCOMPANY ME AND ALLOW ME TO GO!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I HAVE THE BEST STEP DAD EVER OMG IF I WIN THEN I CAN ACTUALLY GO AND FAN GIRL AND I'LL PROBABLY BE SHATTERED FROM STAYING UP TO READ TDOTL BUT OH WELL OMG YES GUYS THIS IS GREAT!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO APPLIES!

Luciana said...

So, as it turns out... It was only me that asked...

I had it in my head that someone else did, but... I found the comments... And I found his response.

"Just back from training and I hurt...

But I figured I'd come on here and wish a happy Sistaversary to Ellie and Jordan because, um, I was told to.

And also to say that holding a Requiem Ball for the final book is a lovely idea, but I don't know how practical it'd be for my publishers to arrange it...! I'll keep it in mind though, ok?"

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

TREE!
GOOD DEREK! THIS MAKES UP FOR LSODM!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*goes to fb shout at friend*

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

Good luck to you guys! :)
I'm totally jealous of anyone that actually manages to go, but I know that I'm lucky enough to have met Derek a couple of times before and the fact I can't go is because I'll be living in the US for a year, so I can't really complain :P
Hopefully the ticket I would have been trying for will go to someone who has been a fan from the beginning but hasn't been able to meet Derek yet :)

Chione Asahina said...

I-I want to go...but I'm not even allowed to Edinburgh myself...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Chi...you could try bride/beg your parents?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Or ask a very nice granny to take you.

Chione Asahina said...

Actually no, the books don't have a good success in America. I don't know exactly what happened but he wasn't allowed to sell them over there or something.

Evan Carron-Kee said...

Skulduggery Pleasant is set in Ireland so it should be in Ireland. Not London.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

NO IT SHOULDN'T BE IN IRELAND BECAUSE THEN THERE WOULD BE NO WAY I'D BE ALLOWED TO GO!

Chione Asahina said...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ireland would be even worse! I would need to buy plane tickets! I would only need a train for London!

And I have family over there and my dad doesn't want tp speak to them so he wouldn't take me and he wouldn't let me go over myself at 16.

Luciana said...

NONONONONONO LONDON IS GOOD. LONDON IS ACE. <3

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

@Chi er....ask your mum? Or beg an auntie to take you? Or an older cousin?

Chione Asahina said...

I...I had tears in my eyes there, thinking of not being able to go to this. I didn't even cry for the cover.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Aww chi! *hugs* its okay! You'll find a way!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*pokes Dugglyn*
It's London, not ireland.
*nod*

Dugglyn...Dugglyn....hmm....

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*lucifer*
If we both win and we both go I will be so happy and we HAVE to make sure we meet each other!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*realises she missed the 'hugs' from that*

Luciana said...

sILENTE I WOULD TACKLEHUG YOU IF WE BOTH ENDED UP GOING OMG

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I know, but I told them I wanted to go to Ireland. I mean Ireland is close enough to London. Or at least closer than Seattle is!

Chione Asahina said...

I want to meet Silente, Mithria, Luciana, flora, adra, val star amy omg trip and dragona too, basically everyone.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

AND I'D PROBABLY HUG YOU BACK EVEN THOUGH I HATE HUGS MORE IRL THAN ON BLOGLAND! OMG I'D BE BUZZING! I REALLY HOPE THERE ISN'T AN AGE RESTRICTION!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

And then I could meet some of you peeps! That would be awesome!!!!! Why, why Derek Landy, Golden God? Why do you live in Ireland (I actually understand, Ireland is Awesome!) and why does the the ball have to be in London?! Why not in the west coast of America?!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I want to meet: Chi, Star, Mat, Blake, Dragona, Lucifer, Fabi, Taia, Dugglyn, Mir, Snow, EVERYONE!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh, age restriction would be bad!

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

VAL IS AWESOME

I wish I could meet you all. Hopefully I'll get to meet Adra. :-)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*pokes Chi* how the hell did you forget to add Blake to that list?

M3l4ni3 said...

I'm tearing up a little because I live in Germany. D,: (Okay, not just a little T_T ) Nooo, Derek why? I want such a party being everywhere. :'( I'd love to be there... ;_;

Okay, does somebody know an other smiley that shows that I'm crying? I need one, now. D:

Unknown said...

OMG I also do!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

It would be so COOL to everyone! I have these images in my head of what everyone looks like and how old they are (which is basically my age which isn't right...) And it's probably wrong and it would just be so cool and yeah and OMG! And I don't know where this went...

Chione Asahina said...

I talked with my mum, like a serious talk about it. I sat her down next to me and told her. She didn't say no. But she didn't say yes. She asked more about it and said it would be difficult to get places, but I think that's an "If I get a place, I might be allowed to go"

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Jazz Hands! *pokes her* please listen to na na na na na na na na na na na! Just so you'll get why every time I type Jazz Hands I nearly start singing IRL.

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

Hi Elleni! :-)

I don't want to list names of people I'd like to meet because I would forget some and that wouldn't be fair.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hehe, Chi. You forgot Blake?!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

You know what? Some time I want to meet you Seattle-ish minions. I mean I want to meet everyone but meeting the people who are in the area is more practical.....

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yey Chi! Omg I really hope more than one of US gets a place because that'd be just amazing!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

**us not US

Luciana said...

*hugs everyone* I love all you guys so much, you're all so fabbity. <3

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

The problem is, is that even if I can somehow get a ticket it would be hard for me to go. D: D: D: D:

Oooo, thinking about it, I might be able to meet Adra over the next year seeing as I'll be in America! :O
RIGHT, ANY AMERIMINIONS THAT LIVE ON THE EAST COAST I WILL TRY MY HARDEST TO MEET YOU OVER THE NEXT YEAR :D <3

Unknown said...

Okay, so this is my first comment on this blog (ever I know I need to catch up on some things but oh well) I've read all of the books, love the series but only recently found the blog.

And I'm slightly punching myself for that but life goes on.

This sounds amazing. Just. I mean. I think. I I oh who knows I think I'm dying over here not gonna lie

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

I don't actually frequent Starbucks. But I'm sure I could arrange to go there...

I'm going to the library today. I could ask the children's librarian (if she's there) about making an official SP event-thing over the summer. (If that works out, it'd be easier to get parental permission and stuff).

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yeah, even if I could get a ticket I am out of town and we have Ben planning this trip for a long, long time.
*bursts into tears*
Why Derek?! Why must you taunt me so?!

Luciana said...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh Fabi! That would be cool!

Flora, even though I live on the west coast I visit the east coast a lot...
What month?

Luciana said...

Hello Remus! Nice to meet you!:)

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

THE WEST COAST IS COOLER

Morbid Solemn said...

Kilandra Xyle said...

Why do I have to live in another stupid country?!?! I WANT TO ATTEND!

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

Hi Remus!

Miss Pleasant said...

So annoyed. Why is everything good on in other countries? One day we will be able to afford to go to away for something like this... One day...

Unknown said...

Uuggh! I do live in Ireland but I really don't think I will be able to go to London , I'm only 13. Whhyyy?!! I so wanna go so I can meet all the fans like me whos lives literally revolve around SP

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Miss Pleasant said...

I'm 13 too and I told my mum about this and she said "where is it?" I said London and she immediately said no way...

Unknown said...

*gets a bit flustered* Oh it's just this awfully nice woman was looking at me a bit funny. At my neck really.

It was my neck actually.
She was looking at my neck.
*slowly turns his head and smiles sheepishly at Silente*
So...... Nice weather?

Unknown said...

I don't want to come, I need to O__O

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*grins and looks up*
Yeah its alright. Better than rain.
*smiles at him eyes sparkling*
Care to dance?

Miss Pleasant said...

*speaks up* hi everyone! I'm not very good at making myself noticed...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hello Miss Pleasant!

Unknown said...

*realises that nothing's REALLY all that wrong*
Sure thing! Nice outfit by the way
*sees worried glances from about the room*
*starts moving slowly.*

*slowly.*

Luciana said...

HELLO ANYONE WHO HAS COME ONLINE WITHOUT ME NOTICING! *waves*


OKAY DOES ANYONE (OTHER THAN SILENTE) LIKE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF OKAY

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks down at what's she wearing*
Is it? Okay. I actually got clothes right for once.
*looks back at him with a friendly smile on her lips*
Dance then?
*offers her hand*

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

Well, I'm at JMU in Virginia from August til May, then I'm staying for another month, so anytime over the next year is good for me!

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

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

It has been the utmost pleasure meeting you all.
No joke. Lovely to see everyone :D

Luciana said...

FLORA STOP BEING PERFECT IT'S NOT RIGHT IT SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BE THIS PERFECT OKAY

Chione Asahina said...

My parents are worried about the money, cause 8 of us just went on holiday it's a little tight. Now I need to see how much the tickets are for a train to London. Apparently it's more expensive than a plane ticket...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh. Bye then I suppose. So long Remus.
*waves after him*

Unknown said...

BYE BYE EVERYBODY LOVE YA

Chione Asahina said...

I love MCR too!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*turns to Jazz Hands smirking*

Miss Pleasant said...

Hello. Sorry, I disappeared there.

Luciana said...

BYE REMUS! *hugs*


CHIONE YOU ARE FABBITYYYYYYYYYY <3

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

OMG so many MCR fans!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*laughs cruely at Jazz Hands*
Ah. Yes.

Luciana said...

SO MANY KILLJOYS <3

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

KILLJOYS MAKE SOME NOISE!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*grins broadly at her*
I do so love new toys.
*winks*

Miss Pleasant said...

Any Alt-J fans around?

Chione Asahina said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

It's so sad, maybe one day us fans in America can get a chance like this. It is getting quite annoying when talking about a book you really enjoy yet no one has heard of it since it is from a different country. But i can not wait until the next book

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

NANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANANA!
*not the right amount of Na's but still*



Oh I wasn't referring to you deary.
*smiles*

Luciana said...

Look Alive Sunshine
109 in the sky, but the pigs won't quit
Your here with me, Dr. Death Defying
I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicopter
Bumpin' out the slaughter-matic sounds to keep you live
A system failure for the masses
Antimatter for the master plan
Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny
This one's for all you rock'n'rollers
All you crash-queens and motor babies
Listen up
The Future is Bullet-proof
The Aftermath is secondary
It's time to do it now and do it loud
Killjoys
Make some noise!

Miss Pleasant said...

*slinks back into the shadows to observe events*

Unknown said...

This would be amazing! I wish we could all go but good luck to everyone who wants to! I definitely do :D eeeeeeeeeeekk

Miss Pleasant said...

*never heard if MCR but dances anyway*
I'm not that much of a dancer unless I'm alone in my room
*sheepish smile*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*taps the side of her nose twice*
Anyway. Wanna go on a fly?
*smirks*

Miss Pleasant said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

OMG missy that's a great idea!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

What wrong, scared of heights?
*laughs and steps closer to Jazz Hands*

Miss Pleasant said...

*bows head*
Just to get my ideas out there. :)

Luciana said...

*throws Skittles at Flora* I BEG TO DIFFER. YOU ARE PERFECCCTTTTTTTTTTTT

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles*
*steps closer*

Miss Pleasant said...

Ooh and keen artists can display their skulduggery fanfart at skulcon... I have so many ideas for this...

Miss Pleasant said...

Awesome Jazz Hands! I'm not very good at art. I'm better at writing though.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

But I like having ideas. They're fun.
*steps closer again*
*taos the sigils that release her wings*
*they're back to their usual sparkly blue*
*rolls her shoulders*


(Not surprised)

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

*throws truth at Luce* AM NOT

Luciana said...

Flora stop throwing lies at me that is not friendly

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

OH MY GOD MISS PLEASANT YES

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

I'M THROWING THE TRUTH AT YOU LUCE, DEAL WITH IT

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Chione Asahina said...

...I uh....checked the prices...

Like £100+ for an adult single return
and like £170+ for 2 adults.

So I need to get a part-time job that pays a lot of money or have more than one job and work like all summer.

Chione Asahina said...

My parents won't pay for it. I'll need to get as much of it on my own as I can. And then I might not even get a place. AND it takes like 4-5 hours to get there on the train from Glasgow.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Chi jebus that's a lot! Is that express or not? Because it might be cheaper to not go express...)

Sigils. That's how. Deal with it.
*lunges forwards and encirlces her waist with my arms*
*looks up and takes off*

Miss Pleasant said...

*sighs*
If only there were films though... Then we could get some actors to come and sign autographs...

Unknown said...

Derek there better be one of these things in Ireland (preferibly in THE WEST of Ireland) or so help me I will hunt you down and you shall be as sore as Erskine Ravel *growls* is every 23 hours of the day except you won't get an hour off


Mwahahahaha

Miss Pleasant said...

I love writing.
I could do with brushing up on my skills too though...

Chione Asahina said...

That's standard prices.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ah Elleni!
*grabs her arm quickly and pulls her close again*
Don't bloomin squirm or I'll end up dropping you!
*flies much higher up*
*levels off so they're hovering*

Luciana said...

BE BACK SOON I'M GOING FOR A QUICK SHOWER <3 I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK YOU ARE ALL FANTASTIC, OKAY? <3

Miss Pleasant said...

Everyone is creative in their own ways and art means different things to different people so you've just got to find what it means to you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Oh Jesus Chi! That's a lot of money! Er...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ow you idiot!
*resists the urge to throttle her*
*holds her more comfortably around the waist*
*sets off flying properly, swooping, diving, above the tree tops*

Miss Pleasant said...

@Elleni's Jazz Hands: true... My uncle does his art for fun and does pictures and paintings for family and friends while working as a painter and decorator.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

You punched me. I'll teach you to learn some respect first. Plus yoy don't even have wings! Get wings and I'll gladly teach you dingbat!
*turns to that they're looking up at the sky*
*let's go so that Jazz Hands is just laid on my stomach*
Ah. Relaxing. Don't roll off.

Miss Pleasant said...

Yeah competition will always be tough I guess.
I want to be an English teacher but I'm still undecided. I have plenty of time to decide I guess.

Chione Asahina said...

That is a lot of money... and if I can't get enough I will hate myself for spending all of my other money because I have dreamed about being at a ball like this for so many years...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(BLOODY HELL TRAINS COST LOADS! WHEN DID TRAINS GET SO EXPENSIVE?!)

*laughs at her*
Chill. I got you.
*loops an arm around Jazz Hands waist*
*flips over so they're the right way up*
*does a loop de loop*

2 months... That's not nearly enough time to make such a life changing decision.

(Ha chi I have the same problem! Frickin hell trains got expensive! Only I'm only fourteen... I can't really GET a job...BUT DAMN IT IF I GET A PLACE AND CAN'T AFFORD! *is determinded*)

Chione Asahina said...

Silente, I don't think it's just trains, cause I took a train to Glasgow which is like 30 minutes away but yeah, and it was £2 something. I think it's just because it's to London. Distance and because it's a really busy and popular place.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah good point. A return to manchester only cost me £5...hm...I don't know what to do. I really want to be able to go but....but that's A LOT. And even saving up all my pocket money I wouldn't be able to save up for me, never mind a guardian. I wouldn't even have a quatre of what I needed! I'd need to be getting like £40 a week.

My step dad says to look at mega bus.

Miss Pleasant said...

Bye Elleni's Jazz Hands!

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry I poofed.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

OMG LIFE HATES ME! IT'S SO MUCH CHEAPER WITH THE MEGA BUS BUT IT'D MEAN WAKING UP AT LIKE 3 (which could mean like 1 hour sleep due to the release of TDOTL being the day before) THEN SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY IN LONDON WHICH, OKAY, NOT THAT BAD. BUT THEN THE LAST BUS BACK IS AT, LIKE, 7:30 WHICH IS TOO DAMN EARLY!

Luciana said...

I feel really ridiculous for wanting to be an author now... Haha.

Trains are stupidly expensive - look into coaches. Megabus is usually dirt cheap!


PLATO IS AMAZING OMG<3

Chione Asahina said...

Silente, e-mail.

Unknown said...

OH MY STARS I WANT TO GO SO BAD!!!! OMD this sounds awesome.... I wonder how we find put if we got invitations? :)

Luciana said...

SILENTE I AM GETTING UP STUPIDLY EARLY FOR THE LONDON SIGNING ANYWAY AND GETTING A MEGABUS COACH DOWN WITH KAYLEIGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3

Luciana said...

Wait. Silente, where (ish) do you live?

Have you looked at National Express?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I live in Huddersfield. But the megabus coach back leaves at 19:30 so it'd leave too early..

Trains are too expensive. It'd help if he'd specified a general area of London!

If I threw a Requiem Ball in Washington how many people would go

Unknown said...

Is this like a fancy event? Bigger than the queens coronation? Bigger than the beginning of the universe? Because if so I'm buying a fedora.

Washington state or DC? (I'm assuming America :P)

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

Me, definitely.

If I can, that is...

(Can't RSVP for Elleni and Dugglyn, but they're in the general area as well)

Sorry I disappeared for a while btw - had to pop into uni to collect my heels P

Luciana said...

Silente... You live an hour away from me...

Noelle said...

I've never in my life wanted to curl up in a ball and sob like I do right now.

Actually, this lines up with when my parents told me they were going to divorce.

Fucking America.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ugh. £51 and a bit. Getting there at 10:30 then leaving at 23:30. So walking around London all day..either dressed for a ball or needing to find somewhere to dress for a ball....bah!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I love how I'm planning this despite how many people are going to go and how small the chance that I'll be chosen is.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sorry for disappearing - it'd be Washington State.

Luciana said...

Silente... Have you considered looking at two coach journeys...? Like one to one city (Sheffield for example) then from there to London? Might work out cheaper?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Maybe...
*goes to check*
Mbd, checking times and also emailing and what not
