First Draft Done!

I... I think I've just sent in the first draft of the new book...

It's rough around the edges, with some bits missing, some chapters blank... I don't mind this at all, because when my agent and me editor look at a first draft like this, they're focussing on the big picture, things like;

Does the story make sense?

Does the story work?

Are the characters consistent?

Is it as tense as it needs to be?

Does it have enough pace?

Is the book any GOOD?

These are all things I don't know, because when your head is down and you're working away, you can't look up and step back far enough to see how everything slots together. I hope they don't have any major issues with it. I hope they like it. I hope they think it's GOOD.

As I explained in a previous post, I scrapped most of what I'd written for this book at the end of December and started again. In the last month, I've had to average about twice my usual daily word amount to reach the deadline. It has been as HELLISH as it has been rewarding. I've barely been able to take any breaks, not even for twitter. The work isn't over, of course it's not, there's still a lot to do — and if my editor or agent find any major flaws in the book, that work will double.

But I managed it. I got the first draft done by writing twice as much per day as usual, and the only way I could do that was by having ridiculous amounts of fun. I wish I could tell you about it — I wish I could tell you the title that spun it off in this brand new direction — but all these things are yet to come.

Right now, though, we are gearing up to release the Armageddon Outta Here paperback in two days. As usual, I found myself in a Catch-22 position. I had a paperback coming out of a book most of you already bought in hardback (or trade paperback — the hardback-sized paperbacks), and I know a lot of you would want every edition available — because you're uber-geeks, just like me. So I wanted to give you an extra story or two (or three, as it turned out) to make it worthwhile. Of course, by including new stories, it kinda also makes people who were NOT intending to buy the paperback want to buy it, cuz they want the new stuff.

I don't like making my readers buy multiple copies of my books. If you want to, hey, go right ahead, I won't stop you, but I've never wanted anyone to feel left out if they don't buy every edition. There are some things, unfortunately, that I can't win no matter what I do. So apologies, for those who feel like they ARE missing out. That was not my intention.

But what ARE these new stories? Well, for those Billy-Ray fans out there, two of these stories are about him. They were sequences that just wouldn't fit in the last few books. Death and Texas throws our favourite hit man deluxe into a Texas Chainsaw Massacre situation, with a notable twist. Eye of the Beholder, meanwhile, explores some of his history — including how and why he lost his eyes.

And then there's Theatre of Shadows. The original version of this was written in an afternoon, behind the scenes at the roleplaying event in Dublin last year. It was at this time that I learned one very important lesson about writing — don't try to write and publish a story in the same day.

The original was flawed. This new version is radically different, and it takes the original's place in canon. So that story that was sent to everyone who took part is now a one-off, never to be reprinted.

There are some other, minor changes to one or two other stories in the collection. For instance, I noticed a mistake too late in Across a Dark Plain, which made a mess of where the story sits in continuity. This mistake is now fixed, as will be a corresponding mistake in one of the books. Remember when the Dead Men were talking about the war, and Shudder's birthday? There was a pretty significant typo that I hadn't spotted, which basically set that story a hundred years after I had meant it to take place. All that is now changed, and once again the stories make sense.

I think.

The paperback is out on Thursday, and right now I'm going to go shopping. The cupboards are bare. I won't be able to poke my head up for too long, though — I got work to do.

Good thing I love it.

John said...

*Sits in the grass next to her, turning it into a patch of dirt with a few black blades of grass*

So what are you doing out here by yourself..?

Star Inkbright said...

Because they could hear who the sound was coming from, of course. XD Puzzled me at the time, though.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*STUPID PHONE DELETED MY COMMENT YOU ARE ALL AMAZING AND ALL DESERVE HUGS, I MEAN ALL OF YOU!

EXCEPT FOR THE DAMN PHONE!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Smiles*
Just looking at the waterfall...it's beautiful, isn't it?
Especially when the sunlight hits it. Looks like it's made of diamonds.

-------------------------------
(Adam! nuuuuuuuu!)

Do you have a secret base here or something? or is it just the mountains?

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

Probably won't be on much tonight. Just in case anyone cares. I'm sure you'll all be fine without me.

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

Fine without you, perhaps, but certainly better off with your presence.

John said...

Yeah... it's nice.

*Looks down at the circle of dirt around him and sighs*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(No, iris. You should be here.

Secret hideout?
*raises eyebrow*

Hi Fabi)

Oh, alright then
*Smiles and waits for him to land*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Looks over at him*
What is it, Wayke?

John said...

I... met someone the other day. She didn't die... not even when she hugged me...

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

I'm not Iris.

Star Inkbright said...

I second what Lantern said.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Ok then. Well random...
Jai?

Don't tie me up, you creep!
Kas help!!!!!!!)

*Looks out to the distance*
It's- I don't even know what word can describe this...
*Is grinning*
*Slides down from his back and stands beside him*

--------------------------------
Was she meant to...?

John said...

No! Of course not, I don't want to kill anyone... It's just... there are some people who don't die around me.

*He sounds hopeful, almost happy*

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

*nods* Wont be here..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(What's wrong Jai?)

Well Wayke, that's good. But you don't need to be that close to someone to have fun with them...
We're sitting here on a beautiful Winter afternoon, the sun shining next to one of the most beautiful places in all of Blogland.
Are you not having a nice time? are you not happy?

Family time.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Jai, you always make me happy when you're here, you're that awesome, so if you're feeling bad, you can always talk to me. I'm here. I'll listen. I'll talk. I'll be here for you. Because you're my friend, and I love you.

*hugs her tightly*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(What she said :3
*Hugs Jaimie tightly too, as well as kas*
Group hug!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*nods* group hug.

*hugs*)

John said...

Well... yes... but if I got any closer I might kill you...

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

(*hugs back and holds her*)

Jophiel said...

I slept in.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Well, there is no need for you or I to get closer, but I'm curious.
*Reaches out and takes his hand*
*Stares down at it, watching to see if her hand will turn grey and die*

---------------------------------
*Sits on the edge of the ledge, her legs dangling over the side*
No, I don't think you could get used to this...
*Sighs happily*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hey Rose...
*Hugs her if she wants hugged*)

John said...

(That's a yes on the turning grey and dying thing.)
(*Tacklehugs Rose*)

*Immediately pulls away from her, jump to his feet*

Are you crazy?!

Jophiel said...

Hi Aria.

*accepts the hug graciously*

*yelps and cuddles J back*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Sighs and looks down at her ruined skin*
Yes, probably.
*Turns her head towards the waterfall, watching it fall and glimmer In the light*
I just wanted to fine out if I could be your friend without you killing me.
It seems I can't.
I'll still try though.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Danni. It's seven... That's not too late, is it? Or will you be late for work?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Find*
*cuddles Rose, if she's not too busy with John*)

John said...

Well, you just said that we don't need to be that close to be friends, right?

(*Happily nuzzles Rose*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Twenty-two minutes to go.)

Jophiel said...

It's late enough that I have to skip breakfast and do a four hour shift. At a bakery.

*huggles Kas*

*and cuddles Aria back*

*scrunches up her nose at J*

Hey! That tickles!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Yeah...
*frowns for a moment, thinking of something*
*Glances at him*
*Wonders If she should*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(J, I'd like to rp with you. Check your email.)

John said...

(*Keeps nuzzling her, deaf to her pleas*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Danni* aww, I hope time flies for you! Then you can get food!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Lays back and looks up at him*
*The ledge starts to crack, just behind her*
*Her eyes go wide, trying not to move*
Oh gods...
*Looks up at Malygos, trying not to panic*

Jophiel said...

*Tries to push J away halfheartedly, too busy laughing to really do much more*

I might be able to grab some bread for the ride but I don't know...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Get all the food you can...

Twelve minutes.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Is breathing quickly, her heart racing*
*Nods and hugs into him tightly, scared*
*Closes her eyes and holds onto him for dear life*

John said...

*Looks at her with a confused expression*

What..?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Where are Wayke and Aria?)

John said...

(*Stops nuzzling her and starts using her as a pillow*
*Sighs happily*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(At the waterfall, Kassy.)

Nothing
*Smiles and gets up, moving closer to the waterfall*
*Sits at the edge, feet in the water*
*yelps as she puts her feet in as the water is freezing then laughs*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*sees a magnificent waterfall*

*approaches the significant people near it*

Five minutes.)

John said...

*Follows her cautiously*

Is it cold?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Shakes her head, loosening her curls*
No, not really
*smiles*
I think the sun has heat it up a bit.
*Turns around and sees a figure approaching them*
*Squints*
Who's that?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(One minute.)

*approaches Aria*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Looks close to tears*
*Looks up at him and curls into a tight ball, hugging herself, terrified*
*Can't look over at the view, then she'll instantly be scared of heights*

John said...

I think I saw her at the bar the other day...

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Till what, Kassy?)

Jophiel said...

*Looks at J for a moment then starts bopping his nose*

Hi.

Jophiel said...

Kas, what for...?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Tanya?
*Kicks her feet slightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Victory.)

(Him? Tanya/Rotia is female?)

(*smiles at Danni*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(He said her, Kassy :3)

Jophiel said...

*is confused*

*takes Kas's hands and pulls him to the ground to use him as a pillow too*

Kas! :D

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Rubs her eyes and sits up*
Malygos?
Where am I?
*Looks around*
*Feels the covers and decides to lay back down as she's freezing cold*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*is a warm pillow for a warm body*

*smiles*)

((One of my PC cores is at 0 degrees C -_-

It's cold here.))

Hey...

John said...

(*Scrunches up his nose*
*Boops her back*
*Continues to snuggle and use her as a pillow*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Are you ok?
What's wrong?
*Looks concerned*

Jophiel said...

*looks at the time*

*considers the 5km bike ride with really sore legs...*

*itll take longer*

*considers traffic, being early morning*

*decides to play it safe*

*slowly turns vanishes, leaving J pillowless*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Malygos no! don't heat it up, the ice and snow will melt...
I'll be fine.
What happened? how did I get here...?

John said...

(*Is pillowless and sad*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Frowns slightly*
Malygos, I know I'm younger than you, and not by much, but please stop talking to me like I'm a child...
And thank you, for saving me.
*Stares at him*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Offers herself as a pillow knowing that he'll probably reject her anyway*)

John said...

(*...

Rests his head against Gemma and closes his eyes*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Well, I don't have to. I've only told one person of what my powers can actually do. I'm the goddess of passion and mazes, but like all gods and goddesses, I can change my appearance. I can be any being alive.

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

(Two players left, both doing well, who will win?!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Smiles and plays with his hair softly*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*Mr Frozensocks returns*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I'm rooting for you, Jai!)

John said...

(*Grins slightly and snuggles closer*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(So, whatcha guys doing?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Well, because I'm the goddess of passion I can increase or decrease other peoples passion for one another. I'm basically like a cupid, but it works for anything. Like someone hating someone with a passion. I can decrease that hate that they have.
All gods and goddess can change their appearance to anything alive. Animals, other humans, dragons...

John said...

(*Steals tea*
*Remembers he doesn't drink tea*
*Hands the tea back to Adam*
*Goes back to Gemma*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Continues playing with his hair with one hand and holds him close with the other*

Hey Kassy, I replied.
I asked you if you were ok.)

*Looks at Wayke then back to Tanya*

John said...

(Hey Adam, that picture... is that Deathwing?)

John said...

(Pfft, "how" he asks. Nerd here.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Yes, I think so...I mean, I've never attempted to.
I should be able to...
*Looks up at him*

John said...

(I played a bit of it, honestly I know more of the lore than I do of the gameplay.)

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

(Aaaaand losing...)

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

(NO GEMMA'S GONNA LEAVE SOON! *clings to her* *whimpers* don't go..)

John said...

(Oh crap! *Clings as well*
*Wait he was already clinging*
*Clings tighter*)

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

(*sobs*
I think she's g-gone)

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

(*curls up crying*)

John said...

(Dedicate the page to Gemma cause obvious.)

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

(*whimpers and bursts back into atoms*)

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

(*reforms and hugs Gemma tightly*

Kerry Blight said...

DEREK!! I've been saving up to go for a rugby trip!!!! Now I have to get this book!! hmm.... maybe if I beg my dad to buy it.......

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

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

(*can random floating atoms curl up and give up?Probably not. One sec*)

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

(*curls up and gives up*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Jaimie*

*just hugs*)

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

(*hugs kas tightly, almost crushingly*)

John said...

(*Hugs them both*
*Cause he's tall*
*And therefore has long arms*)

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

(*leans against J, still hugging Kas, face stuffed against his chest*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

()*ruffles Jai's hair*

°W°

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Deleted comment?)

(Hello, Deathwing.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*insert comment about Skyrim here*)

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

(I feel, like I'm dying...it hurts...so much...head...stomach...headheadhead stomach too warm too bright to sharp sharp sharp pain why is my body hurting shaking shaking shaking Ow ow ow shaking shaking shaking huuuuurts pound pound loud pound pounding pain heat hot too hot hot hot burning up up up)

Star Inkbright said...

Paracetemol, Sil?

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

(Already had them, didn't help hurts hurts hurts)

John said...

(World of Warcraft, Tia.

*Huggles Jai*)

Star Inkbright said...

:/
I know C took ibuprofen and paracetamol at the same time, like a doue dose of painkiller, and that really worked, but at the same time recommending overdoses is probably not adviseable . . .
Do you think you're able to get to sleep, or are you in too much pain? Would just lying there and closing your eyes help?

Star Inkbright said...

*double dose

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

(*hugs J*

*shaKes head at Star*
No overdose..i cant sleep, not like this..)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

()*hugs Jaimie*

:(

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

(Hello.)

Bethany: Thank you... You and Claire are the only things I need.


Liliana: Isn't it just? Now to make you scream...

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

(*hugs Kas*)

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

(*hugs Sophia tightly, crying on her shoulder*)


*smiles*
Mmm..I'm glad..


Onwa: *smirks*
Good luck

Star Inkbright said...

Appareny since paracetqmol and ibuprofen work differently it's okay, but yeah, I really wouldn't advise it.

:(
I'm sorry . . . I'm all out of tricks. :( Closing your eyes and lying still may help, though.

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

(*hugs Jaimie tightly back, holding her close*)

Bethany: *she wraps her wings around her* I love you.

Liliana: Thank you. *her hand glows purple and Onwa starts to feel the pain of everyone she has ever hurt or caused hurt to*

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

(It's fine star..not your fault..)


*smiles, snuggling against her wings*
I love you too Beth, is your hand any better?



Onwa: *tenses slightly, eyes widening a bit but grins*
Being locked in a head, I hardly caused much damage..

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

(Dark helps..)

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

Bethany: It's still a little sore...

Liliana: Now this cannot do. *she turns her hands, her arms and legs being twisted at impossible angles - so much so, they break*

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

Do you want more cream?




Onwa: *cries out loudly, not expecting that, but not screaming*
*chuckles slightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*embraces Jai in a hug*

...)

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

(*hugs kas*)

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

Bethany: Please...


Liliana: *she gestures, twisting her broken limbs further*

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

Bethany: Please...


Liliana: *she gestures, twisting her broken limbs further*

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

*nods and fetches the tub*
*-unwraps the bandages and starts rubbing the cream in*




Onwa: *screams slightly, jerking, making it worse for herself*

Star Inkbright said...

(Yeah . . . )

Lavender Hope said...

*pops in, probably not for long*
But hi anyway. Also wbd and msd.

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

I am back.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Loki! Wb.

Hi Zaf too! :)

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

I apparently missed Rose.

Lavender Hope said...

...

Could I give Loki a hug? Would he mind?

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

I would not be pleased, but I suppose you could.

Lavender Hope said...

*gives Loki a quick, but tight hug*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I am freezing to death. Hmm, death...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Zaffy, Loki and Hope!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Oh, and hear hear!)

Lavender Hope said...

*wraps Kas in a blanket*
Hey!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*freezes the blanket to death*

H- hey, H-Hope. How a-are you? ??)

Lavender Hope said...

*rolls her eyes and gives him the biggest, fluffiest, warmest blanket she can find*
I'm being lazy. XP Still didn't eat breakfast, or hang the laundry yet.

Blaaaaaaaah.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*is slightly warmer*

Thanks...

*smiles*)

Lavender Hope said...

*smiles back*

*also hands him hot chocolate*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*shares the hot chocolate with Hope*)

Lavender Hope said...

*accepts her share*
Thanks. :)

*sighs*
Should probably get moving... Still here, but more distant.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Okay, what are you up to today?)

Lavender Hope said...

Nothing much... Warming up my voice and practicing the songs I'm planning to record though. ;)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Yay for Melody! :3

I look forward to hearing your singing *hugs and smiles*)

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks!

But uh, I may not be playing the guitar yet. I'll be singing with no music for a lot of the songs, if not all.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Aww,okay then.

Sleepy... *curls up around Melody, and falls asleep to Hope's soothing singing*)

((Good night, Hope!))

Lavender Hope said...

Have a good night, Tia!

I'll send you the recordings when I finish them. :)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Gah, I can't sleep. Five in the afternoon and I'm ready to collapse, one in the morning and I can't sleep. *sighs*)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs*
Felt that way yesterday. :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(But that's the point, I didn't get sleep during the day. I wanted to, but I didn't. And yet I was no longer tired.

Still, I will poof. *ruffles Hope's hair*)

Lavender Hope said...

*gets her hair ruffled*
That's fine. I hope you can sleep soon. :)

Garret Falcone said...

Hello?
*hugs anyone here* )

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, Rhos! Hi!
*hugs*
How are you feeling?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Rhos and Hope*

*will be sleeping soon... hopefully.)

Garret Falcone said...

*hugs Hope and Kas*
Hi and its all good Hope,
I'm feeling alright thank you,
Except I have a bit of a cold and a sore throat
But other wise alright
How be you?


Okay Kas (for sleeping soon ) )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I'm okay, listening to Halo 3 soundtrack and remembering that one night where DRG (a Halo clan I'm in) did the Vidmaster challenge.

Most fun I've ever had online.

Things got pretty intense towards the end, oh yeah~

I hope that cold passes...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sleepy...)

Garret Falcone said...

I like the halo 3 soundtrack,
There was a few good songs I like from that game

And sounds like it was a really fun time (the challenge)

And thank you,
It will do soon
And go to sheep Kas!
You need sheep! )

Lavender Hope said...

Ditto Kas about the cold, Rhos.
*hugs again*
Sorry again for replying late. Wifi's being mean again. Guess I should be getting used to it, but meh.

I'm okay. Practicing singing and guitar at this moment, so that's also making me pretty distant.

Lavender Hope said...

*pokes Rhos*
Look who's talkin'. ;P It's just as late for you as it is for him, right? You should be getting some sheep too.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(S'okay, Hope.

Yeah, we started around ten on a Sunday. It was 3 in the morning and we were so close, so close, and one of the guys took a sleeping pill so we realised if we don't finish in twenty minutes, it's all over. That gave us the determination to make that final push.

Five hours of solid, repetitive, angry yet fun fun. *nods*

I'm off to sleep now, yep. You should sleep too, Rhos. Good night!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Ah, how I miss those guys...)

(And girl!)

Lavender Hope said...

Night, Kas!

That sounded like fun. :)

Jophiel said...

*mutters something quietly and walks away to do all the chores*

*again*

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Danni before she goes*

*poofs because lunch*

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

I doubt she'll be here.

Jophiel said...

*Slowly walks in*

*And is called out again...*

*To make icing for a cake....*

Jophiel said...

I think I'm done...

John said...

(*Should be tired by now but feels totally awake*)

Lavender Hope said...

*is listening to her recordings*
... I know I said it's just for fun, but gah! It sounds horrible! Horrrrrrriiiiiibllllllle! Uuuugh!
*dies*
