TDOTL Trailer

This time next week, many of you will have the final book in your hands. Most of you will be reading it. Some of you will be finished it.

I am so utterly delighted with the book and how it turned out — I really think it's the best one of the series — and so I am thrilled with the trailer that artist extraordinaire Tom Percival has come up with.

The clocking is counting down...

  8. Alright so, I'm crying slightly and I can't breathe, but aside from that I'm excited. And scared. And oh dear god its ending, somebody hold me.

  9. Damn....its going to be over. I remember when HP was over...damn...Mom went to the book launch to get a copy at midnight. I'd so be doing that for SP if I could.

  12. When I come home today we have to do the Ice Bucket Challenge. Now Derek is totaly getting nominated. Just now need to see if Em will kill me if I nominate her....

  13. (The ice bucket challenge can cause heart attacks.)

    ReplyDelete
  14. (It isn't exactly what you could call healthy.)

  17. Don't they mean Combat Accessory ?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Dragona- For my sake, I understand you don't like the idea, but can you please keep your comments to yourself? The whole thing means a lot to me, because I watched my uncle die in front of my face for a year, so any awareness made means a lot.

  19. That awkward moment when you're just watching your cats and they have a better love life than you... :( #foreveralone

    ReplyDelete
  20. I know what you mean Sil...Just not with cats :P

    ReplyDelete
  21. (This is sooooo awkward. The brothers girlfriend is over for the first time (and I sleeping over O_O) and she's so quiet and just hiding in his room...)

    ReplyDelete
  22. (You're bro's gal is sleeping over...? And you're parents are okay with this Sil?)

    ReplyDelete
  23. (Well
    Real Sil=Dead & evil
    Clone Sil=Somewhat surprisingly alive & good.
    The reason behind the good/evil thing is because James muddled them over and stuff. Magic science.)

    ReplyDelete
  24. (@Rhydian correction, my bros gal is sleeping over in his room with a four pack of carling....hmmm...well then.)

    ReplyDelete
  25. (does anyone know?
    the characters, are they confused?)

    ReplyDelete
  26. (yes the parents know and condone this. Along with my brothers smoking. He's 15. If I had anyone sleep over as a boyfriend (not gonna happen no one likes me that way) with vodka and fags I'd be slapped. And grounded. Talk bout double standards.)

    ReplyDelete
  27. (Zafira - it is not the cause which I am talking about. It is the act itself. The charity would benefit more if people would actually give them money, rather than pouring ice water on their head.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. (No the characters aren't confused.
    James separated their souls from their bodies, one imitation soul one real soul, and separated the 'bad' and the 'good.' He then gave the 'bad' soul to Sil and the 'good' soul to the clone. Sophia shot Sil and the clone is still alive.)

    ReplyDelete
  29. (Okay Sil, that sounds slightly odd. neither me or my sister are allowed anyone of the opposite sex to sleep over with us. So her friends who are girls can stay over (duh) but the males, nope. My female friends nope (But my parents know for a fact that I wouldn't never do anything odd) but if I asked if I could have one of my male friends over, they'd probably think weird but suppose it's okay. So yeah, my parents must be scared that me ans the sis will get up to no good *rofl*)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sleep overs with opposite sex is a hell no, just for the day is fine. -Zaf

    ReplyDelete
  31. (@Rhydian yeah. The same goes for my family. For my sister who, technically, is legally allowed to do that stuff. And then for me and my little brother. Apparently my big brother gets different rules. He gets alcohol supplied and fags supplied.)

    ReplyDelete
  32. (How's everyone this fine evening ?)

    ReplyDelete
  33. (@Sil: He gets fags and alcohol? Wtf? Why does he even want that crap anyway? Smoking is disgusting, and robably will set my asthma off, and alcohol...Why do people wanna get wasted? I wanna get drunk only once, just for the experience, but then no no drink for me.

    Opposite sex sleep overs is a funny area I think, depends on the child. but as long as girls and boys sleep separately I don't really see a problem)

    ReplyDelete
  34. (I have a sore throat a bad cough and need sleep. So I'm fine. You?)

    ReplyDelete
  35. I suppose you may. You may call me whatever you dare as long as I know you're talking to me.

    ReplyDelete
  36. (Hey Rhyd!

    Aww I hope you feel better Sil
    Have a hot toddy! That'll help


    I'm good
    Cider makes everything good )

    ReplyDelete
  37. !!! I'm going to be in London on September 1st for about 11 hours!
    Do you have any ideas for what I can do or where I can visit?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hello Inky!

    (oh yeah, you too rhydian and dragona)

    ReplyDelete
  39. (@Rhydian see that's what I thought! Wtf?! When we were younger mum was always like 'Oh no you aren't allowed to smoke if you do we'll buy you forty packets and make you smoke them in a row' but what do they do with my brother? 'oh yeah we thought you'd end up smoking have some tobacco and rolling paper' wth?!)

    ReplyDelete
  40. The London Dungeons are amazing Om! You should try that :) but keep in mind that you need to book it

    (Hi btw have we met?)

    ReplyDelete
  41. (Hey Elemental Geek

    I had the weirdest dream this morning that I'm considering to write it as a story)

    ReplyDelete
  42. (@Nom Oh anything?! Can I call you Fred?! Or Soup?! Or retrified beans?!)

    ReplyDelete
  43. @Sil: I don't think that's right, that's quite bad tbh. No offence to them. Why on Earth would they give him cigs anyway?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm a londoner.
    Visit the usual attractions, eg. big ben, london eye blah..

    Then uhh.. if you like spooks, go to the london dungeon.

    ReplyDelete
  45. And don't call me Elemental_Geek, call me by my nickname, Egg. I don't have a taken name.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I will visit as much as I can, but as a londoner do you know any cool place no one really knows about?

    ReplyDelete
  47. (Well
    I started at this school an I went to English lot when this misty black spirit thing came and everyone ran, screaming

    I ran up this tower and on the wall was a message 'summon lying and insanity' I summoned these men who turned into dogs

    they attacked the spirit and that's as far as I remember )

    ReplyDelete
  48. I wish Derek was doing a signing in London on the 1st

    ReplyDelete
  49. Writers block again :( Okay does anybody have any really effective-long-lasting ways to kill writers block? Coz evry time I get unblocked and start writing again, I'm lucky if it lass a whole day. So yeah, I haven't wrote anything in about two/three months and it's killing me!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. (I think I just realised I didn't plan a way to FIX Sil. I didn't make a self destruct...an exit...)

    ReplyDelete
  51. (I don't tend to suffer from writers block
    So I don't know how to stop it

    My greatest ideas come from dreams)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I get amazing ideas for stories all the time. Got about three/four atm, but I just can't put it down into words :(

    ReplyDelete
  53. Thanks Em! I'm looking into anything you give me!

    As for writer's block, I have it too.

    Sometimes listening to music or doing exercise helps. Like running or swimming

    ReplyDelete
  54. Anyone else going to the event in Dun Laoghaire? Because I was thinking, we should nominate one person from the fandom to slap Derek with TDOTL for all the pain he has inflicted upon us.

    ReplyDelete
  55. No where to run where I live, the chances of getting mugged/attacked are very high. And There's no where to swim around here, and I ALWAYS have my music playing...Hmm, I'll consider the running thing, got a gym at school, I'll just use the running-machine-thing that I've forgotten the name of

    ReplyDelete
  56. (I know how that's like Rhyd 😰
    I have great ideas but to put them into words...)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I know exactly how you feel, Rhydian.
    I suggest you write down the basic idea of your story down before your brain forgets it and then moves on to another one.

    I always regret not having a notebook or phone on me whenever I think of something. I got tiny notebook this summer, and it helps a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I've got So many notebooks and notepads. And my phone lives in my pocket/hand. So I'll try putting ideas down and hope that helps

    ReplyDelete
  59. (I have storage box over storage box of notebooks
    Remembering where I write my ideas ....)

    ReplyDelete
  60. (Sorry bout my distance. My brain is refusing to focus for some reason..

    @Rhydian usually when I get writers block its a poem or another story that's blocking...so try writing whatever comes to mind no matter how shit it seems? Idk..)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Inside my head the ideas are so vivid and the characters I've come up with are almost real, but when It needs to be put on paper...Nope, they are very stubborn my ideas, and do not wish to move out of my brain

    ReplyDelete
  62. God...

    I hate talking.

    using my mouth is so embarrassing.

    I was just talking to a friend of mine. He's known me a long time, and he's used to it, but still... Why...
    How do people talk good

    ReplyDelete
  63. I slur and stumble... and the more I talk the more confused I get. It's not like a stutter. I find that most people who stutter are geniuses.

    ReplyDelete
  64. (Guys the a story which I've been trying to write for a month now, what sounds better? A warlock or a witch? (It's a supernatural type story))

    ReplyDelete
  65. (As some of you may know
    I can't speak to people
    Mostly strangers

    I had to lead these people around the kennels where I volunteer today

    And I got head butted by a dog)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Rose is kicking him for me, but someone slapping him is even more priceless....I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could get over to Ireland.-Zaf

    ReplyDelete
  67. I guess a warlock.

    I've think that it's not used as commonly as witch

    ReplyDelete
  68. Witches are ace...

    I was just debating coz the term wicth is used a lot and I was just unsure whther it was too overused already or should I change it :P

    ReplyDelete
  69. GUYS GUYS GUYS

    So okay! Next Saturday, Midnight Irish time, The Blogland Requim Ball will be held! Spread the word!

    It was decided to do it on a weekend so that all Minions can attend without getting in trouble in school ect.

    -Zaf

    ReplyDelete
  70. Okie dokie Zaf!

    I don't even know why people always think that wicthes are evil, and women! Witch is a unisex term, and it actually annoys me how a lot of people are like "they're green and evil" I'm just there like "Do some actual research child" (I call EVERYBODY child. And majority of people I know are older then me haha)

  71. (So, Flick, wanna dewolf da girl? The clone can help out...)
