Armageddon Outta Here Is, Um, Here

Ha!

I cannot BELIEVE they've let me use that title!

Ladies and gentlemen, the collection I've been promising you, the book that scoops up all those little short stories and provides you with some brand new ones, has been unleashed. There won't be a Spoiler Zone post because it's not one of the "book" books, but even so, try to limit the amount you give away about the endings.

Of the new stories included, I'm finding it hard to pick a favourite. The Horror Writers' Halloween Ball is the most out-and-out comedy of the lot, but Across A Dark Plain is a WESTERN, for god's sake, and it was SO much fun changing my writing style slightly to convey that mood.

But I think Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon is probably my favourite. Much like The End of the World (which is also collected here), it's told from the point of view of an outsider, in this case a middle-aged American man. I didn't mean it to be quite so long, but it grew from a short story to a novella before I knew what was happening. The tone of this one is different, too — until a certain pair of intrepid detectives wander in with their bickering and their jokes...

Anyway, I hope you like it. I hope you ALSO like the sample chapter from The Dying of the Light. It is VERY well written, if I do say so myself.

Oh, and speaking of TDOTL, tomorrow I shall be revealing an awesomely cool limited edition alternative cover.

And it ROCKS.

She has a similar attitude, except with a bit more rebel and darkness in her. She looks like you but she flaunts her beauty a bit more. And she has lots of knives.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yes, well, I won't have a Sanctuary where non-humans would be brought in for questioning. So you don't have to worry about that. Really, though- I'm friends with two teleporters, one of whom works at my Sanctuary. She can get us in quietly, I'll have a sensitive sent in, and no one else will hear about it.

Ok, she's worth getting arrested for.

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

Rebel. Knives....so she's a fighter? Does she use her looks like a weapon too?

Anonymous said...

Only against me.

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

But...if she uses her looks as a weapon against her why would you like her so much?

Derek, I need your help.
Over the past month or so I've fallen into a downward spiral. I must have read the whole series through about 20 times in the last few weeks and I simply can't stop. It's not as if I haven't tried new books, I have (many times), it's just that they all seem so slow and dull in comparison to yours. Please Derrek, just release the next book now and ave me from this torture.

Luciana said...

Just here to say:
-thank you
-I love you.
-you're beautiful (inside and out!)
-it's always okay to cry!
-e-mail me (lucianascath@gmail.com)/contact me in another way if you need me and I'll try to be there
-you matter
-Silente is a turnip
-falling down is a part of learning to walk, but even those who can run fall down every now and again
-you're hella rad

It never ends my friend, it never ends. It's like a drug, you just need a bit more, but when you get more, the only thing you want is more.

The only way out is to go cold turkey.

Not everyone survives.

Aw, thanks.

Silente is a turnip? Charming.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

But you ARE a turnip. Didn't you know?

*whispers to Hublum, who is definitely here*

I thought she knew.

This is amazing.

So I went to Six Flags in New Jersey (theme park my friends who dont know) so I qualify for the handicap pass for my lack of vision in one eye, so we get the pass. Basically I go to the ride, get a time and come back when its a time. So all the rides I speak of are roller coasters. So my friend and I go down for two days. First bit is yesterday. So we go get a time for Kingda Ka, well you see its an hour. So we go on Green Lantern and go back to Kingda Ka, its closed now. Okay so we go onto Superman and a few others. While Kingda Ka is STILL down, we go to El Torro. We are let on. We present my pass and they have us wait at the handicap entrance to board the train. Well, we wait and are basically left no instruction, but an attendant watches us. So another handicap group comes, we wait with them. Then a man with a cane comes, presents his pass and is let on the ride. The rest of the handicap groups are sent into the regular line. So we're mad as we waited 20 minutes. Now we go to Kingda Ka, open. We go up and wait on the handicap entrance line, like we were told. They tell us its wheel chair only. Mind you we waited a half hour, before they told us. We go on, annoyed. So now we complete all the roller coasters, go to the hotel, and come back today. Now today; We go right to Kingda Ka, and get on off no problem didn't need my pass. We go back later in the day because we want to go on one last time. I go get my pass signed and we are chatting with the lady, who's a superior. So my friend says how much trouble we had with Kingda Ka closed, and the lady smiles and says today its open, and she explains the pass to us, first perso ever. So we thank her and tell her how much trouble we had with the pass, so she says; I am so sorry, that should not be. How about I tell the team members to look for you two and you will ride Kingda Ka twice. So we both go OKAY! And hence, I rode Kingda Ka, twice in a row. Kingda Ka is:
The tallest coaster at 458 feet high
You go from 0-128mph in 3.5 seconds.
World record breaker.

We were second row, we go on once, then we stay on, and go second time around. That will never EVER happen again.

Oh yes. And about Silente. Idk if this has anything to do with her memory loss but yesterday she told me she was hearing voices in her head. Saying me things. Bad things. She said they were there when you weren't and they were getting louder and she didn't want to be crushed. I didn't know what to do or how to help her.

Ahem! I would like to dedicate to as many Bloglandians as I can. So here goes...
(in no particular order)

Snow- you are amazing. You're funny, crazy, and no matter how cold your name is, you welcomed me warmly when I first came, and you have always done. :)

Fabi- thank you for being you. I think Star once said that in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, some parts were brilliant and she knew they were brilliant but she couldn't really fully comprehend it. She said you were the same. I have to agree.

Star- you're the most brilliant bubble I ever met. You're friendly and nice, and you've honestly changed the way I perceive the world. Thank you so much for that. :)

Annika- you are one of the best authors on here imo and your dramatic flair always makes me smile. And the Osmosis wedding... *sobs* Plus you mentioned Pentatonix once and I looked it up. Thank you. :)

Silente- STOP BEING SO DARN SHIPPABLE!!!! XD But you're one of the best and most loyal vampires I've met. Thank you. :)

Luce- you can see the best in everybody and your deds make me a bit teary sometimes. In a good way. :) And like Star and Fabi, you've changed the way I see the world. Thanks. And Marina and the Diamonds is amazing!

Dugglyn- you're amazingly random and crazy and hyper but also warm and friendly and kind. Thank you. :)

Elleni- your name is the smoothest and most beautiful I ever heard, and it fits you so well! Thanks for being a fellow pianist, and what happened in the grocery store? I need to know! XD

Kestrel- thank you for galeanthropy and all those other words. C:

Ivy- I've never had a conversation with you but your stories are awesome. And so are your Skulduggery parties. :)

Chione- your fanfics are amazing! And for an ice queen, you've got the warmest heart I've seen. :)

Adra- I was talking about Aladra somewhere and my friends had no clue what I was talking about. I just stated at them and I was like "no. Just... No." But you're a brilliant author and like Silente, stop being so SHIPPABLE! XD (I'm kidding, btw)

Aretha- you're one of the most creative people I've (not) seen, and the characters you come up with are awesome in the best sense of the word. :)

Flora- thanks for giving me the courage to post the first bit of my story here. Yours is amazing!

Death- your rp plots are brilliant, and you yourself are amazing. You have strength and courage and you can see the beauty in things. Thank you for being you. :)

Sam Ish- you are brilliant, funny, witty... And your deds are awesome, unlike this one. I wish I'd gotten to know you better...

Ember- thank you for being a fellow Singaporiminion! :D And thanks to you, I know what I'm talking about (kinda) when my "irl" friends talk about Sherlock. Also, thanks for welcoming me when I first commented on here. :)

Jubi- you are truly amazing. Whenever I read back in the comments from months and months ago, I always smile at yours. Your name fits you perfectly. :)

Zaf- you're a great Grand Mage! And beyond that, you're a great person. I can only wish to be as creative as you, and I can totally understand loving fictional characters. Plus, the way you write for Loki is spot on.

Veronica- you're a brilliant person and I understand having to rant and get it all out. And one word... *whispers* Chickens.

Blake- you're a great fighter and I ship Blione like crazy. Plus no matter how much you tease them, you're always there for Chi and Silente. :)

Dau- your drawings are brilliant! And from what I've seen in the comments, you are too. :)

Anybody who considers themselves the older gen and doesn't come on for fear of being unknown- Well, I can understand. Wait, no, scratch that. I can never understand because I'm not one of the older gen. I'm relatively new, and I think it's people like me that put you off. (think being the key word in there) Blogland is for everybody, and I honestly don't want to put anybody off coming. You guys sound amazing, and I really wish you would come on again...

Dragona- your fanfics are brilliant! And you are too. :) Plus your autocorrect is hilarious.

The silent readers- you are brilliant. Your voices may not be heard but come on, anybody who's reading this knows and probably likes Skulduggery Pleasant. And for that, you guys rock.

Taia- your rants are beautiful and you are amazing. I wish I could say more, but I honestly can't find the words. :) Your metaphors have literally changed the way I look at stuff. Thank you. C:

Trip- you're the wittiest, most quick thinking banana theif ever. I wish you luck as a theif and a barman.

Nevyar- thank you so much for the hobbit thing story. I almost cried I was laughing so hard. XD

To every Bloglandian that I missed- I'm sorry! My brain is slightly stupid. But you're beautiful and amazing. How do I know this? Well, you've contributed to this community even if it was only one comment. And you read SP so that instantly puts you on 10 in my awesomeness scale. :)

And finally... Even though he's technically not a Bloglandian.... Derek Landy-
Thank you for creating the universe of SP. I know we accuse you of breaking our hearts and crushing our feels, but thank you. Books helped me when my best friend moved away and Skulduggery was one of them. I can't count how many times I've read and reread the books! And you actually take the time to write novellas and short stories and that means a lot.
Plus you talked about Doctor Who a lot, and that made me go "huh that show looks cool." So I watched an episode and my mind was blown. So I watched another. And another. Now, I'm a proud Whovian. So thank you. :)

And that concludes my dedication.
It was badly written, too long and bleh, but whatever.
If I missed anybody out, it's because I don't really know you that well or my brain just missed you out. Soz.
But that's all. Yes. Now I must poof. Sorry. :P

I'm currently in shorts and a thin t-shirt. I guess it's warm here . . .

hey hey

I think I have a science test on Monday. O_O

Ooh.

I should have remembered that.

*tries to remember if we've already had it* *no, I don't think we have* *actually, I'm pretty sure*

Ah.

I'm not sure I need to revise for that. I appear to be going around jabbering about biology in my day-to-day life, which kind of indicates that I remember it.

Okay then.

Hey Zaf. :)

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

(Hey Zaf! I can't call anyone at the moment. But I'll mention it to Viv if you're on when he is.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Yes, I have. :) Silente losing her memory is really interesting, plot-wise and emotions-wise . . . :) I think I posted a comment saying it was cool. Idk. I remember thinking about it, but I don't remember if I DID or not . . .

I don't like skinny jeans. They aren't comfy. I like non-skinny jeans though.
I think I like denim. I seem to have endless reams of denim stuff. Or maybe I don't particularly love denim, but I don't really like anything else, so . . .

My point being, I have denim shorts. They're cool.

I'm fine, thanks. :) You?

I thought I had. *nods*

I feel sorry for little amnesiac Silente . . . she's . . . yeah.

Thanks! :)
I'll probably do quite well though, because like I said, I've been ranting about that stuff . . .

Eh. I should probably be thinking less about art and more about English, because our English teacher somehow expects me to write a speech and perform it (on video. Not in front of people. Yay) without having taught me anything about speeches . . .
I have to pretend I'm talking to the House of Commons about an issue I'm passionate about.
*gestures*
Anyone have any ideas?

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

(Bad Crow! Maybe its Nic! XD)

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

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

((He doesn't show the nice side to you guys, but it you read when he's with Zanida, he does. He got his sister out of Asgard, and he didn't have to. Zanida is the caring one, she doesn't hate you guys, she just came to keep Loki from killing you all.-Zaffy))

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

((I wish it was Nic. I miss Coco....*sighs* I wish he could meet Zanida and Loki.-Zaffy))

Star Inkbright said...

Some of the characters in The Final Empire decided that there were good men and evil men . . . and I was like :( because I don't believe there are. Everyone is both good and evil. Including Loki.

(There's this philosopher guy though, one of the characters I mean, and he doesn't believe in evil. He's so like me as well. I'm just like :D. I have a theory that - you know Derek says he's in the books? Well, I know nothing about the author of the book except the fact that I've read the book, but I have a theory that that character is pretty much the author's representation of himself. Which would make sense. Yes? C:)
(It's just a theory though.)

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

(Yeah. He does have a nice side. He just doesn't show it.)

(@Star she was so sweet when she was 11. That was before everything went wrong in her life. She was innocent.)

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

((*blushes at the dedication* Lord...thanks. I didn't know I wrote that well as Loki...-Zaffy))

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

((I was told to cosplay Loki...I can probably do it, I'm just so scared. And my friend who highlighted my hair offered to temporary dye my hair black, and style it like his. Apparently my hair is the right length. Then if I get the costume omfg I could go as Loki.-Zaffy

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

(You should go as Loki!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: OHMYGOSH GREAT TIMING. *hugs*

*points out he coincidence in our comments*

Yeah, but would I say that to the House of Commons . . . ?
Eh. I'm sure I can find most things I'm passionate about. Me and C argue about immigration and that sort of stuff. I should probably ask her . . .

Ooh, that's not a bad idea actually. Asking her I mean.

He's not that nice to Zanida.
You know, in The Psychopath Test, which is another book I keep referencing to, the author interviewed this psychopath/half psychopath, and he loved his dogs. He adored them. And the author was asking someone else, but how can that be? And they replied that it was more of a possessive love, and pointed out that he didn't love his own daughter, did he?
I don't think Loki is a psychopath. But, personally, I don't believe Loki loves Zanida properly.
He doesn't necessarily love her as a possession, but - *helplessly floundering for references* - you know in Twilight when Rosaline(?) Rosalina(?) women with a name beginning with R (:P) said that she was in love with the idea of being in love?
It's not like that either, but it's similar. Sometimes people can love the idea of a sister, but not actually love that sister as a person, or maybe he thinks he does love her as a person, but I'm not sure he really knows her.

Theorizing. He might really love her, and if I have proof of that, I'll admit that I'm wrong. :)

Star Inkbright said...

*agrees with Silente* You should! :)

@Silente: Yeah . . . D: It's painful. :/ :/

Star Inkbright said...

Also, I believe that Loki doesn't just hide his nice side. He doesn't embrace it. He, like, doesn't realise the potential he has to be nice . . .
He needs to get a few good wilful self-delusions and stop worrying about power (because it's destroying him, you know) and just learn to appreciate the beauty of the world around him and be satisfied with what he has. Then he'll be a lot happier. :/

(@Star yeah. If she doesn't remember soon though...she gonna start panicking about her mother and father. That won't be good.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Yeah. D: D: D: Not good. :/

Gtg now. Sorry! :(

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

(Bye then Star!)

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

((As of now therr are two people in the entire world Loki has any love for: Frigga, and Zanida. If we asked Aro to tell us what Loki was thinking when Zanida is around, he actually cares. He's scared he'll lose her like he lost Frigga. With Alastair using Zanida as a test, he doesn't trust Alastair, and therefore he worries about his sister. Now, will he ever show it? Unless she died, probably not when you guys were with him, but to her he would show his worry because he trusts Zanida. -Zaf

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

(That's really sweet. Not that I'd ever tell him that.
Does he not care for the Midguard?)

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

((Loki...doesn't care for you guys. He just simply has no desire. Zanida cares for you, Loki wants to rule you.-Zaf))

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

(*reads up about the Midgard Serpent* oh no wait he probably won't.)

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

(@Zaf i meant the serpant. Thor's enemy.)

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

((I don't know. Probably not, to be honest I don't think he's particularly fond of anything besides Frigga and Zan. *isnt that great with Norse mythology because I really have just the movies with Loki to base stuff off of*-Zaffy

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

(I msd for the bus.)

Inky Flame said...

Hiya

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

(Hey...
Give me a mo to make a nickname.
How are you?)

Inky Flame said...

OMG im so twp!*hits myself*

Ive only just realized the pokemon professors are named after plants!

Inky Flame said...

Im great, just twp

Jophiel said...

(Sigyn, Loki's wife, perhaps. He is very fond of her.))

(Don't ask how...))

Inky Flame said...

What about you?

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

(*pats _________ on the head* That's okay.)

Jophiel said...

(Hey Chloe!))

Inky Flame said...

Hi Death

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

(Hey Death! How are you?
I'm good thanks Flick. I've decided to call you Flick.)

Snow said...

*laughs* its so cold here
*continues to laugh*
*laughs some more*
*the laughs slowly turn to sobs*
*cries* its so cold.

Inky Flame said...

Okay :)

Jophiel said...

(I'm tired. I can't sleep. Once I've been woken up, that's all. I don't sleep for the rest of the night. And it's only 10:45pm.))

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

(*pats Tree on the head* It's okay. *gives her a blanket*
*gives Deathly a drink laced with sleep pills*)

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

((I'm going off of the movies....So I make that clear. I'm really not going off of the Norse mythology, that would be very bad for me. So I make it clear...*hides* Don't kill me guys I just am using what I know. I don't really have acess to books on the Norse mythology. Plus, its more fun to go off the movies since I have more to work with. I mean Zanida is Thor's wife.-Zaffy

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

(That's fine Zaf.)

Inky Flame said...

Froakie is soo cute (Im watching the new pokemon series btw)

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

(I must now catch the bus and be forced to shop for clothes.)

Inky Flame said...

KK, Silente :)

Mary Contrary said...

@Chloe: Dydych chi ddim yn dwp. It's easy not to notice things when you've been familiar with them for a long time, kind of. :)

(Expanding on plants, though, their names are more specifically types of tree. :P)
(But, that said, I haven't seen any recent series, so, that might not be accurate any more, idk.)

Inky Flame said...

It is accurate. Im now watching the new series XY, the professor is called Sycamore :)

Thnx for saying that, but I do have my twp moments ;)

Inky Flame said...

How r u today?

Mary Contrary said...

Oh, cool. I haven't seen any since the Diamond and Pearl series, so I keep seeing new Pokémon in internet places and not knowing who they are. :P Is the new series good? :)

*laughs* Well, I suppose that's true for all of us really. :P

And, I'm good, thanks! How're you?

Inky Flame said...

I think the series is great, there are four people in the team now- Ash (obviously), Clement, his little sister Bonnie and Serena

Im good, Im having a pj day :)

Mary Contrary said...

Ha, sounds fun. I might have to take a look, if I see it on. :)

And, hooray for pj days! :D
I had to get up today, because I think we'll have people over later. ^^

Inky Flame said...

Well, we were going to a local carnival, but as British weather would have it, it is pouring -_-

Hmm, my sister insists she doesn't like pokemon, yet she is looming over my shoulder as we speak XD

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Can I just say-Fay, that was an amazing dedication. Definitely one of my personal favorites. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time and effort to write out individual things for quite a few people who barely come here anymore, and for addressing the fact that they don't in a welcoming way. Myself included.

I mean, it's not like I'm never here, but compared to how often I used to be here- which was pretty much all the time (I'd be here till midnight-2AM, my time, and then wake up around 8 and be back the whole day again)- I'm pretty much never here anymore. And for a while it was partly because I was sad that not as many people knew me here anymore. I didn't really have that community I loved for so long. But I've sort of gotten over that, because I realized I can't expect people to know me if I don't take the time to meet and interact with them. But, anyway, that was an awesome ded, and I very much appreciate it.

I can say, just for the record, that no one here is really putting me off- I love new people. And people in general. :) It was more my own fault that I drifted away from this place for a while- busy schedule during school, and all that- and once I realized I didn't have connections with many of the people here, it was easier to continue to be distant.

I'm not sure how to end this rant now. I guess I might just do it by saying that I used to type out long speeches a lot more often. I was sort of known for it, actually. And I haven't in quite some time. Maybe I'll have to get back into it.

Bye, Inky! :)

Mary Contrary said...

Hi, Fay! :) How're you?
I just want to point out, because I've seen on more than one occasion, now, your dedications are really, really fantastic. :) ^^

Aw, see you, Chloe!

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

Annnnnd im back. I hate shopping. They had way to many pink socks. Or girly sock. Yuk.

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

Iiiiiiiiis anyone here?

Mary Contrary said...

@Emerald: Really? *didn't notice them, at all* o_0


Welcome back, Silente! :)
On the bright side, you don't have to go that often, if you don't want to. :)
Socks are good. Did they at least have some lesser-pink socks?

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

They had panda socks with stars, purple, white, grey and pink.
They had boyish socks, red, many blues, they're alright.
Then ankle socks, purple pink and black.



They also had a large array of yucky pink and white ones.

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

HOW DID I GET SUNBURN?! FFS SERIOUSLY?! I WAS ONLY OUT AN HOUR OR TWO, MOSR OF WHICH I WAS ON THE BUS OR IN A SHOP! FGS!

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

*grumbles about the stupid sun and stupid skin*
*glares at something, anything*

Mary Contrary said...

(Sorry, I'm distant.
I screwed up a couple of drawings really badly recently. I decided to try and rescue one of them, and it might be going OK, now! :))

Hey, well that doesn't sound too bad. But then, I wear Christmas socks all year round so I don't know how much I can comment on sock-style, really. XD
I can totally understand the pink and white thing, though. Too many than you'd think necessary, right?

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

Hey Silente, I'm here, kinda, wbd though

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

Wayyyy to many. Black and pink...I can deal with. Pink and white I can't.

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

Hey Flower. How are you?

Mary Contrary said...

I don't think that last sentence made sense?
*More than you'd think necessary
(?) ^^

*looks out of the window*
I suppose you must have brighter weather than we do here. :P
But, if you weren't outside much, it probably won't be a bad burn. Probably will be gone in a day or two, I should think. :)

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

Fine thanks, you?

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

Yeah. It probably won't be too bad. And sunburn on my face never hurts anyway. I just get irritated and how easy I burn.
Brighter weather? In England....its warm. And slightly sunny today at least.
