Writing Year in Review

What a year that was...

2014 saw the final part of my EPIC nine-book series reaching the shelves, and there was much rejoicing. It was a bit of a scramble to get it written in time, as it generally is, but this book achieved everything I wanted it to achieve, and so I remain immensely proud of it. The ninth book, and the events that transpire within it, had been a secret I'd been keeping for seven years, and it was such a relief to get it out there. Sure, I didn't tie up every last plot thread — in some cases I just ran out of time, in others I decided to be mean and simply not resolve stuff — but it was a fitting send-off, I think.

The publication saw another astonishing Tom Percival cover, plus a very limited black edition which, as it turned out, was an extraordinarily clever bit of marketing by yours truly. It meant that the excitement that first morning was ELECTRIC as everyone rushed to search through each shop. That wasn't my original intent — I just wanted a cool black book — but to follow the tweets that morning as each copy got snapped up... that was awesome.

The reaction to the book was exactly what I wanted, also. True, there was some confusion over the chapters that ended mid-sentence, but all in all, readers understood what I was doing. And then to catch you all out right at the end....

... glorious...

The Dying of the Light got me back touring, of course, and we fit in the Requiem Ball and the Theatre of Shadows, and I once again visited New Zealand and Australia and met loads of enthusiastic readers. If ever my ego was in need of a boost...

And then I got home, and got to work on the NEW book.

@Blake: We don't do it large-scale and it's always over in a few hours.

I think we're looking for a plot that will last months.

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Trip that rp was brilliant back then, everyone was involved and the story continued rather than just one thing, it had a plot which was good

bye Chloe)

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

Yeah, that's sort of the thing with that pitch black universe. All the people who blame themselves for something when they die go there.

But let's be honest, that's about everyone on blogland. :P

Savannah said...

(OKAY IDEA, BLOGLAND IS DYING AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: *nods*
Thank you, particularly for your use of the word 'antagonist' but also for what you actually said. :)

Nah, Silente, I love discussion/debate/argument. This isn't me working with people, this is me arguing. *nods*

(I enjoy dicussing roleplay more than I enjoy actual roleplay. I'm weird. :))

John said...

Star, please stop calling me Blake. I am J, if I wished to be called my character I would have his name as my displayed name.

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

(I didn't want to jinx it but we are!)

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

Well....I mean if I added Loki's ability- illusions- to this, he could make this that he tricked all of you, because he would. Also, he has a long time between the time of Thor 2 and now to evolve his magic, hell Frigga is alive.

-Zaf

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

(Do you know why?)

Star Inkbright said...

*nods at Edward*

@Velvet: What do you mean by 'Blogland'? Dying in what way?
(Expanding your idea, not criticisiing. :P)

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

(*laughs and grins*
*spins around happily*
THIS IS GREAT)

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

(*resists the urge to lyric spam her songs xD*)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm sorry, J. Habits.

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

But no offense Zaf, we did Loki as an antagonist. But he fell in love and was nullified. We had a good time, but lightening doesn't strike twice.

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

Yeah, Star. A good plot is well thought out and planned.

Star Inkbright said...

*disagrees with 'lightning doesn't strike twice' on the grounds that it does* *agrees with the meaning behind the phrase, though*

Emily said...

NEW BOOK NEW BOOK! Now, yes? Right now??? I've not actually read Armageddon Outta Here though, I'm waiting for when the withdrawal-feels oh-the-series-is-really-over reaches an all time low and I can go to it for comfort. / Reread the entire series. (So excited to do that, and appreciate them all again! (And not forget plot points in between books cause, like, a year is a long time you know.))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Seirsha so like the greenery and grass is all aging on the outer parts of Blogland and expanding and anything within the aging area starts aging too? Even if it shouldn't be possible?)

Star Inkbright said...

Um, yes Trip?

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

Not like basically all of mine.

Except Aladra but Tadra. And that was a good one, if heart wrenching.

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

(But Tanya, do you know why it's happening?)

Star Inkbright said...

I LOVED ALADRA BUT TADRA. :O
Heart wrenching is what I GO for when I read, Trip. :P XD

Alastair Cruciatus said...

We used to be united in almost all of our plots.
Though, when I first introduced myself here, it was mostly me against everyone else. But I won't do that again.

Star Inkbright said...

*nods at Alastair* *nods at 'lightning doesn't strike twice'* *nods at my thing about how I don't believe in villains*

You were a good antagonist, incidentally. :)

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

(*smiles and cuddles everyone except Alastair because Alastair doesn't like hugs*)

Savannah said...

(Yes Tia, the lakes dry up, trees and greenery all dies and there are constantly storms all over Blogland that blow down houses and whatever, then we run out of food and the storms cuts off electricity and heat and basically we're all in a life threatening condition and there's nothing we can do exept there is but I don't know what yet... Tia's aging idea is good too!)

John said...

Villains exist, Star. Perhaps not in the context by which you define a villain, but they do.

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

So because SOME of us (aka Rose) involved themself with Loki as the antagonist, now I can't even offer it up? He's my main, and he is NOT a good guy, so if he can cause mischief, he will. You can't say lightning doesn't strike twice, because he always will find new ways to screw with you, and have fun. That's how he is, if that saying were true, Loki wouldn't bother trying to take over Asgard after Thor. Look at Thor 2, he is at it again.

-Zaf

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

FRESH BLOOOOOOOD!!! WE NEED FRESH BLOOOOOOD!!!

Savannah said...

(Have some of mine if you want?)

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

Mmm.
*chomps on Velvets neck*
Not fresh enough!
;P

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

Yeah, he',s your main. Don't pigeonhole him into being a villain. Just make him an antihero.

I like the Bloglandian dying thing, but it certainly isn't quite ready yet. But it's not really something we've done.

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

We do have fresh blood, but they're mostly just chatters.

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

We need anatogist fresh blood!
*nods*

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

That's not fun for me Trip, I always end of forced to be the good one.-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

(@J: No, by my definition, they don't exist. And I see the world entirely through the eyes of my perspective, so from where I'm coming from, they don't exist.
If you wwant to change my perspective, my mind is always open to good points, and if you don't want to, then you'll have to live with my refusing to acknowledge the existence of villains.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I have other names, most of whom would be new, but I wouldn't change myself to suit a plot.

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

Aye.

You know, I've toyed with Trip as an antagonist before. Obviously never a major one, but I do have an idea that keeps him creatively free and still pretty cool. So if we're REALLY starved, we can do this one plot I've been keeping by the wayside for a while.

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

*shakes head at Alastair*
Nah. Then we'd lose you! And you're too perky to poof.

Savannah said...

(So what's the plan, are we gonna try the Blogland dying thing or something else?)

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

Ah, but maybe that speaks more about the sort of character you want to be? Maybe someone so malevolent is just a step too far for you?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zafira, it seems to me that you try to be "the good one." You're a leader, and you have children, so if you want to be respected and seen as moral you can't become a high level antagonist.

Neither can Loki, if he wants to come away from it as a responsible parent and protector of realms.

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

(Well first Velvet, do you know why Bloglandian is dying? You the author?)

Star Inkbright said...

What is this good and this bad, Zaf? Why, if you're not the antagonist, does that make you a good person?
You know China at the beginning of SP?
She wasn't on anyone's side. She didn't take sides. She would offer information, and she would offer it to anyone regardless of how good or bad they were, and she would always only do a thing if it benefited herself. She's done horrible things, China, and she'll maniuplate people into giving her things when they deserve money, and she will torture people for no reason. She is not a good person, although she becomes more of one in later books. She also, I believe, betrays them in the first book, although my memory is a little fuzzy.
And yet she is not an antogonist. You don't HAVE to be the antagonist to be a horrible person. Heck, my protagonists definitely have issues.

John said...

I've a perfect plot.

I was actually planing to do this for Blake's return, and I suppose I still can.

The events of his death were worded in a metaphorical way, what was said is not literally what happened.


Erebus is free.

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

*nods*
A high level antagonist can't want love or respect after it. They can't expect mercy. Hence I haven't offered Sil. She likes being liked.

Star Inkbright said...

Valkyrie and Skulduggery aren't the good guys either, incidentally. Thinking of it, I could have easily used Valkyrie as an example. Oops.

Star Inkbright said...

@Sil: Heh? I think plenty of antagonists can want love adn respect after it. Once again, Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Moss was always excellent at coming up with plots, but she hasn't been here often.

Noelle was, as well, but she isn't coming back.

Star Inkbright said...

@J: The only issue I have with that is that it looks to be very fighting-based.

*nods at Trip's question*
WHY is Blogland dying?

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

(@Star she doesn't betray them. To betray would be to act against them. She simply fails to act.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

John said...

Once again, Star, you underestimate my intelligence and I take great offence to it.

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

I'm liking it, but do you have at least one way to kill Erebus lined up?

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: *totally agrees* :/ *they both thought plots out really well*

Savannah said...

(Ummm... I'm thinking a kind of Maze Runner thing if anyone has seen or read it, when all of a sudden one day, everything starts to go wrong and no one knows why until they manage to escape or in our case stop it from dying, almost like because Blogland is more like an Internet thing- SHIT I'VE GOT IT, Blogland was only ever made to last until the end of book nine, then was just supposed to end, just like the book series, so actually we find out everything is just built to resemble a real place but is actually all fake and underneath the grass it's just metal...)

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

@Star ah good point.
IGNORE THAT COMMENT ABOUT ANTAGONISTS NOT WANTINF LOVE AND RESPECT

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

Again- Nobody knows what Loki plans.-Zaf

John said...

Kill him? No, that is impossible. I have multiple ways in which we could remove him.

Star Inkbright said...

@J: Sorry, poor phrasing.
*The only issue I have with that is that, on the surface of it, it looks to be very fighting-based; can you offer any suggests of ways it could develop in non-fighting ways?

That's what I actually meant, but I failed to create that effect, sorry. I don't doubt your intelligence or ability to great plots, I'm just trying to expand through discussion.

@Sil: Ah okay.

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


Well, not really J. It's a fair critisizm that when a god of death is loose there's gonna be a heck load of fighting.

But actually, fighting plots were where we started out and I've always enjoyed them.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I disagree with you, Silente.
You shouldn't expect to be loved by many if you target them, but someone illogical might.
Additionally, I may love and be loved, but just because I am no longer an antagonist here does not mean I am not an antagonist anywhere else, or to anyone else. I have my own selfish reason to be at least reasonably civil here, but you may rest assured I am no less sadistic than I have been since childhood.

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

Hey Soph!

*stares at Velvet*
*whispers*
It was all just an experiment...

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

(That sort of breaks canon. I have a basement, and one time we dug under the lake and junk.)

John said...

He is not the god of death, in the mythos he comes from that would be Thanatos. He is the primordial god of darkness, and he is not Blake. While he does enjoy flaunting his power around he is not prone to simply walk in to every fight that presents its self with no plan other than beat people up. He is ancient, intelligent, and cunning.

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks, Sil. :)
*hugs*

@J: *nods in acknowledgement adn yes-that-sounds-cool-ness*

@Velvet: Hmm . . . like in -
wait, spoilers. Can't say that. :P

Sounds like an idea. Wouldn't peopel haev worked it out, though? Like, with energy-sensing and travelling to different realms and flying through space through the Blogland-sky and digging basements?

Savannah said...

(Yes Jai! That's it! Set by the evil Derek! (Sorry Golden God, you are in no way evil!) If only he could join in with the rp...)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Although I don't find combat for the sake of combat interesting, fighting for a purpose has great potential to spur emotional involvement.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I actually prefer plots without much fighting. Sure there may be some violence in there, simply to add variety, but a large scale plot based around fighting will not work. Just fighting constantly is hardly emotionally engaging, which I believed was the entire purpose of doing this?)

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

Oh my god...Alastair, that's scary.-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

I guess, to counter the basements argument, the metal could be DEEP under the grass. :P
Space, though. Sophia's spaceship.

@J: Okay.
I have to admit, the Erebus idea sounds like it might be quite good. :)

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

Derek won't join the roleplay..

Alastair Cruciatus said...

What is scary, Zafira?

Savannah said...

(Star, the space was all fake and programmed, think of the Hunger Games if you've seen it and how the game makers could change the setting of the places using a model in front of them- it could be like that, and the metal structure would be far below the surface, maybe where the iron core of the earth would be and it is heated to give us heat bit then it shuts down and that's why everything dies!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: It would be emotioanlly engaging, if done correctly. Like, everyone would be emotionally affected by Erebus destroying them and stuff, and it would be more clever-working-out-ideas-in-order-to-defeat-Erebus - like, after a while, we'd work out that just fitghing wasn't working, and we'd haev to, like, haev a plan.

Well, that's the way it went with Alastair, pretty much.

Savannah said...

(Yes Jai, it's a shame...)

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

Actually, to also go against my own words, we DO love ANTAGONISTS...I mean how many people loved Alastair (not like that) before he was reasonably civil?

Star Inkbright said...

@Velvet:
. . .
But how could she go INTO SPACE OUT OF BLOGLAND in her ship if the space wasn't real? :S

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I would also avoid plots which would devalue themselves, the characters who would participate in them, and any future plots.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: That's not because Alastair was an antagonist, that's because Alastair was/is AWESOME. Antagonists can be awesome, but that's not to do with them being antagonists, that's to do with them being awesome. XD

. . . People often do love antagonists, though.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I agree with you, Star. Though the emotional element of the plot against me may have been aided by the fact that I primarily targeted the emotions of others, even when using physical means to do so.

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: Well, yes. That's why a plot against an antogonist full stop would have to be done well.

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

(When you basically say none of it was ever real... it feels a bit like killing the magic.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Trip: . . .
I guess.

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

Alastair is awesome.
Why am I talking as if he isn't here?
Alastair you're awesome!

Star Inkbright said...

@Sil: XD

Savannah said...

(Because, there is space, just a programmed one...)

Savannah said...

(True Trip...)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Exactly, Trip. It would be nullifying everything.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Velvet: . . .
uh, sorry. So how big is this box, and how come it extends off the planet?
:S
*is confused*

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

Oh and I'd just like to point out
DON'T GET SO ENGROSSED WITHIN THE RP THAT YOU FORGET ABOUT THE CHATTERS, ABOUT THE CRYING ONES, THE ONES WHO NEED SUPPORT!

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

Yeah, you've been there for me man, sort of.

Three cheers for Alastair!

Hip hip!

Star Inkbright said...

Or do you mean her ship doesn't phsyically move when she thinks it does?

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

HURRAY!

Star Inkbright said...

Thank you, Silente.
*hugs*

HORRAY!

Star Inkbright said...

. . .
wait, how come my 'horray' is splet with an 'o'. :/

Savannah said...

(Okay, then it was always real but the metal is cooling down because... It is run by... Derek? And when he stops writing the series it starts to cool down and everything starts dying?)

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

You're welcome star
*hugs*
EEK! GONNA TRACK DOWN NEXT FREE POST!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

...I fail to understand why I am being celebrated.

You bring up an important thing to be aware of, Silente- once my generation shifted primarily into roleplaying, many regulars who came merely to talk felt ignored and left.

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

Also, the general idea is that blogland is a pocket dimension, with doors to and from hidden across both.

Like if you just keep walking through this one patch of wood you come out in Siberia and the like.

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

Hip hip!

Savannah said...

(HORRAY! STAR I CANT REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL IT NOW!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Velvet: Uhhhh . . . objection. Blogland isn't run by Derek. We're not sustained by some man most of the characters have never heard of. We're sustained by imagination.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I also fail to understand, Alastair. Not that I mean any offence, but you are the type of person whom I would normally shoot.)

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

Yeah, that was a sad time. I probably could have done more, but I never really even saw the arguments. Just the results.

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: Because you're awesome? :)

*nods at Trip*
I thoguht that the pocket dimension could be in a metal box, though.

@Velvet: XD XD
*hugs*

Savannah said...

(Okay, then without the Skulduggery books we start to lose our imagination and then it cools down?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Velvet: *frowns* Once again - objection. Blogland is not run on a random kids' fiction series most of the characters involved have never read. :P

Savannah said...

(Or it could just be like, the sun is dying and now we are dying with no sun!)

Star Inkbright said...

How would the sun be dying?
(expansion, not criticism/objection).

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I believe that it would be wise to stay away from the concept of the Skulduggery Pleasant books having an effect in the roleplay. Because surely they would not exist, many individuals having magic from that universe?)

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

Yeah, it's true. The dimension runs off a vague force of the power of our own minds and as such we can ultimately make it do as we will. Like my bar, or the volcano, or the old abandoned theme park, Zaf's treehouse, the 1D house, the dynamite forest, the lake, Sparky's treehouse, Adra's lab and so on.

Star Inkbright said...

(damn, maybe I should shut up and go to sleep before I start irritating people (even more). O_O)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

As you should, if you were acting according to your values, Sophia. I am not offended in the slightest.

Star Inkbright said...

January 6, 2015 at 10:42 PM

Yes.
That's what I meant. :P

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

(And also dying sun isn't really a thing we can fix. I don'r mean to gang up on you. Please tell us if you feel dejected, it's just, you know. Trying to offer constructive criticism.

Star Inkbright said...

(Yeah . . . *nods with Trip :/*
I probably am sounding really critical with all my objections, but I don't mean to criticise you as a person or your ideas (because it is a good idea. :)))

Savannah said...

(Or, Blogland is dying because just simply because Blogland was made because of the Skulduggery series and so has to end with the series? (Obviously the characters wouldn't know this but I mean, all worlds have to die at some point don't they? So we have to all go on a huge quest thing to stop Blogland from dying? I dunno...)

Savannah said...

(No, it's fine, I'm just kind of making things up now! :P)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Do you really not believe we could repair a sun with all of our combined talents and powers, Trip? I mean that as a point of genuine curiosity. It seems most people here are able to scrape together solutions for anything.

Star Inkbright said...

*reposts*

January 6, 2015 at 10:42 PM

Plus how would we fix the problem, if it was a lack of Skulduggery? We can't change real-life things in roleplay . . .

I liek the idea of a quest, though. :) It would probably be really hard to have everyone working together and living together (as might be necessary, if they were to travel together) whihch sounds, y'know, cool. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Alastair has a good point. XD

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

Back!

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I actually agree with Alastair's point. I know for a fact that two of my characters could easily solve the problem of a dying sun - one being the goddess of light, life and creation, the other being said goddess' daughter.)

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

(Blogland never has to die. even if Derek stopped making posts, I doubt the effect it's had on our lives could ever truly be seen to die. I would be a totally different person without it, and that really means something. Because in everything I do there is Blogland and the bloglandians in it. And if not one of us changes the world for better or worse in some large way, I'll actually cook some of those Skul Cakes.)

Star Inkbright said...

I really need to go to sleep now, though.

*does a Silente*

Star, go to sleep.

. . .
It works less well when I say it to myself. XD

Anyway. Probably bye.

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

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Star Inkbright said...

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

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I believe she said "everyone else", thus covering the other people she didn't mention.)

Savannah said...

(Bed now, night!)

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

(AHHH SORRY VELVET! YOU WERE PART OF 'EVERYONE ELSE!'

xD pay back Soph? Hear hear. Just because payback.)

Savannah said...

(Yes but still Soph! Only joking, HEAR HEAR Jai!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(You seem to be always dedicating pages to other people, including myself, Silente. And therefore I am getting a little revenge, as well as the usual good intentions when dedicating a page.

Would you like to continue with the roleplay?)

Lavender Hope said...

*isnt really here as she wants to read the past comments this time*
Also, I forgot to mention to Crow that the first gen Bloglandians created a different blog to comment on for when Derek's posts got filled up... That was before people decided to go back to the last post with available comment space.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Lavender, I believe Dragona was the owner of that particular blog, if I am not mistaken.)

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

(*grins and hugs*
A little revenge indeed..
I DEDICATE ALL SOPHS UNDEDICATED PAGES TO SOPHIA KEATING!
And there are lots.
*grins*


Sure. Where were we? Claire said she wanted to carry the bed right?)

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

(*hugs El* Okay :/)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(*hugs her back* And now that is just cheating. They were my undedicated pages. *shakes her head*

She did indeed.)

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

(Yeah but you never would've dedicated them. They'd be left all alone, thinking they were unworthy of a dedication! I saved them from depression! *nods*)

I can carry a bed Claire..

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(The saviour of blog pages.)

Claire: Please, let me.

John said...

I feel as though digital pages are unable to feel depression.

Just saying.)

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

(Yep. That's me. *salutes*)


..Okay..
*gently puts the bed back down*

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

(Hush J! Saying that will only hurt them more! ITS OKAY BLOGGY THE MEAN MAN WAS JOKIN! *hugs bloggy*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *her eyes glow white beneath her helmet and the bed lifts off the ground, carefully sliding through the portal*

Bethany: How interesting.

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

Interesting is one word for it. Cool is another.
Anything other than the arsenal of weapons?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: I suppose so. *smiles*

Claire: I don't think so...

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

Don't think so? Got your bed time gun?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Oh! I'll get that. *moves to her drawer, pulling out her submachine gun*

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

*rolls eyes*
Safety on? Do you have a diary or anything?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Yes, safety on. I have a diary. I don't always use it. It's fine.

Bethany: I never had a diary.

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

I had one as a kid...I think I have it hidden somewhere.
*shrugs*
Okay. If yours sure that's everything..?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: I'm sure.

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

Okay.
*gestures for them both to go ahead*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *walks through the portal*

Bethany: Are you alright?

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

*takes BeTh's hand*
Yeah. Just, you know, big portal big energy drain.
*steps through with her*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Good. *smiles* But don't weaken yourself too much.

Claire: Is that your house?

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

Of course I won't.
*smiles*
*looks at Claire*
Yep.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Cool! So should I move my bed there?

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

Yep. We'll set up a room when were there

Goodbye, Moss.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Fabi... :c

Hello, Alastair.

Lavender Hope said...

...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hello.
I may not actually be here.

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs everyone tightly, wishing she could bring back the Blogland of the past*

Lavender Hope said...

*wishes that she could be who she had been in the past*
*waves a feeble hello to Alastair, understanding that he may not really be here*

Lavender Hope said...

*has too many wishes going through her head right now*
*shakes them away and wonders if anyone else is on*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hope*

Hello. How are you today?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hmm...

Interesting thoughts.

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Tia tightly back*
Sorry... I'm... Sad...

How are you? Feeling better than I am, I hope...

Lavender Hope said...

Should have warned that I was distant... Sorry...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Probably not.

Should we be doing or talking about anything? If you want?

Lavender Hope said...

I don't know about should, but I don't mind. Like what though?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I don't know. I'm sad, for many reasons, but now I'm sad because I'm forgetting people.

I'm forgetting people, Hope.

Someone with a lab.

Someone who liked One Direction.

Someone who liked Star Trek.

...

Lavender Hope said...

Are those people who used to come here? Or people you know in real life?

But I remembered that Mara was(is?) obsessed with 1D. It was fun hearing her talking about it so much. Even got me into liking them. Then there's her liking for Little Mix too.

Taia still comes on sometimes... She's been on pretty recently, compared to others.

Lavender Hope said...

*realizes she's had earphones in for a while now, but forgot to turn on her music*
Oops...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I have to go.

Good night, Fabi and Hope!

Lavender Hope said...

Good night, Tia!

I'll be going from here too. See you, Fabi. ;)

John said...

Well.... anyone else lurking about?

Audra Traum said...

Might I recommend a plot where people decide to be super awesome ninja cockroach or a super evil ninja carrot and because they are sworn enemies they have battles and spies and what not.
Or you could just laugh, either would be perfectly acceptable.

Audra Traum said...

Oh hello J, it seems we meet again.
How are you?
