A lot of people would take this opportunity to compile a Best Of list... and I am no different. And so, without further ado...
Best New Horror: It Follows
Jaw-droppingly good. A wickedly smart throwback to horror movies from the 80s. Bliss.
Best New Addition to a Franchise From Far, Far Away: The Force Awakens
Good GOD I loved this. It has heart, soul, warmth and grit — a huge departure from the prequels and a wonderful continuation from the original trilogy. I couldn't have done it better myself.
(Well, I could have, but they didn't ask, so...)
Best TV Show: The Walking Dead
This was a close one, with Game of Thrones running a tight second, but its White Walker mayhem was matched by episode upon episode of zombie thrills. And unlike GoT, I didn't know where The Walking Dead was going to end up...
Creepiest Horror Seen on Blu-Ray: Sinister
Oh I love a good creepy horror, and this hit the spot.
Most Disappointing Horror: The Babadook
I don't get it. I just don't.
Best New Addition to a Franchise Thought Long Dead: Fury Road
A car chase that lasts an entire movie. How awesome is that? Not as feminist as I'd been led to believe, but still a thousand times more awesome than most other movies.
Best YA novel: The Rest of Us Just Live Here, by Patrick Ness
Get this book. Read this book. Love this book.
I didn't get to see all the movies I wanted to, didn't get to watch all the TV I wanted to (Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Jessica Jones being top of my To Watch list), and definitely didn't get to read all the books I wanted to, but all in all 2015 was a good year.
Next year is going to be busy. I've got the second Demon Road book out at the very end of March and the third and final one out in September. But I've learned my lesson, oh yes. No more six month publication schedules for ME, boy howdy. A lot of things have suffered as a result of this workload (that still isn't over, by the way) and I want to get back to a nice and healthy communication routine with you, my lovely Minions.
2016 is going to be FUN.

Amy: I have no idea.
Alice: it's okay
Flauros: are you okay Tresha?

Amy: It's alright. It was just very unexpected...
(Jai?)
Wait, did I do something?
[hugs Jai]
Rich: * laughs* so you're saying I should have just asked?
Harry: She's saying you need to before trying, not she'd have said yes, right Amy? I asked her out before kissing her.
Amy: -Doesn't say anything-
-The nurse comes in-
Nurse: Amy you can go. There are already too many people in this room.
Amy: but can't I-
Nurse: Go back to class. Enjoy your last day.
Amy: -nods-
-gets up and squeezes both of their hands lightly before leaving-
Bye...
Rich: Bye Amy ....

Nurse: so, mind telling me what happened?
It seems you had quite the brawl.

Harry: Yeh nothing, i tripped and punched Richard when we were playing.

Noooooooooo i love David Bowie...

He was so amazing as Jareth.
R.i.p...
(RIP Bowie, the true gremlin king..)
Tresha: *holds her arm out for him, looking at the fur*
Should I shift back? The fur might get in the way..
Flauros: if it isn't so painful
Tresha: It won't hurt.
*shifts back, the fur retreating*
*quickly grabs the cat, wincing because the cat is still very angry and still trying to claw her*
CHESH STOP IT NOW!
Flauros: please take a seat
Tresha: *picks Chesh up by the scruff, carrying her into the bedroom, closing the door quickly*
*winces at the extra cuts she now has*
*sits on the edge of the couch*
Flauros: *shifts into a leopard and timidly licks her wounds*
Tresha: *blushes, reaching out, carefully, slowly stroking his head*
Flauros: *shifts back*
Is there any way to dress the wound?
Tresha: *looks almost sad that he's shifted back*
We have bandages and plasters in the first aid box, under the sink.
Flauros: okay... Mini watering hole... Got it *stands up and goes out the kitchen, not caring that his clothes are shredded*
Tresha: *smiles at him calling it a mini watering hole*
*watches him, humming quietly, blushing at the shredded clothes*
Flauros: *comes back with bandages and kneels before her*
*tenderly dresses the wounds*
Tresha: *smiles, watching him*
Flauros: *finishes* there
Tresha: Thank you..
*smiles at him*
Flauros: *smiles* no problem
Tresha: You're cute as a leopard..
( what kinda magic spell to use? )
Harry and Richard: * look at each other then back to the nurse* yehhh...
Nurse: Mhmm...sure.
-starts patching them up-
-Amy is in class-
-Mr Smith has let the class just sit and talk for the rest of the day because Amy is leaving-
(Sorry! Got a call!)
Flauros: cute?
Rich: So I don't need to go to hospital do I?
Harry: Yeh that'd be a shame... * tries not to smirk*
Tresha: Yeah..
*smiles at him, cheeks coloured slightly*
Nurse: -glares at Harry-
No. He won't have to go to hospital . But i'll need to phone your parents.
Flauros; *smirks* that makes you red
Tresha: Does not!
*just winds up blushing more, grinning*
Flauros; *pokes her cheek*
Tresha: *laughs, wacking him gently in the side of the head with a pillow*
*raises an eyebrow*
Flauros: earthlings never cease to amaze me
Tresha: What do you mean by that?
*is smiling, pillow at her side*
Flauros: so fragile... Yet there is so much to them
Tresha: We aren't THAT fragile.
Flauros ; to me you are

-uses her jumper as a pillow-
Harry: * jumps off the bed and tells her to put her there* - standing on shaky legs-
Nurse: No. She'll be alright. She just needs a minute or two.
She's very pale and weak...
-checks her temprature-
-flinches-
She's freezing...
Harry: *hugs her to try and warm her teeth chittering*
(How is she chittering? She's unconcious.)
Nurse: harry, back in your bed.
( Harrys)
Harry: Just trying to keep her warm miss.
( the auto correct is still getting used to me, didn't realize it said her, I wouldn't take control of your characters)

Harry: Permission to hug her this time?
Rich: .... Not because of me? ... I offered you half just incase.
Nurse: fine. Hug her.
Amy: my mum was complaining about how much money i was spending...i didn't buy lunch for me. I gave Richard lunch everyday because he didn't have enough money for anything... it's not his fault. I wanted to help him...
Harry: * hugs her tightly trying to warm her up*
Rich: You shouldn't have done that.... I don't need it, you do.
Amy: You did need it, Richard. More than me...i got more food at home. I had to make sure you ate...

Harry: Well obviously not, who ended up here because they didn't eat? .. I never end up here I always have something.

-cuddles into Harry-
The stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
(The weather is beautiful
Clear and cold)
Tresha: *raises an eyebrow*
Oh really?
*grins, standing up, walking towards him*
Fragile?
(MY HIP HURTS AND I CAN'T WALK BUT THERES LASAGNE AT HOME!!!)
Harry : Are you ok? * looks to nurse* shouldn't we get her something to eat?
( are you ok jai?)
(Yeah, my hip hurts sometimes.)
(Hello ^,^)
Flauros: yes...
(Hey Chloe!)
Tresha: *raises an eyebrow, hands on her hips*
You're just as fragile as me.
*grins*
If not more.
(Rest!)
Flauros: I am not!
(Work!)
Tresha: You are too!!!
Flauros: how?
Tresha: You aren't used to being mortal. I am.
Flauros: I am.. Adjusting
Tresha: which makes you more fragile than I am
*grins*
Flaurous; you think *flexes his biceps*
Tresha: *laughs*
Yes, I do.
*grins broadly*
Flauros: let us see about that
Tresha: *laughs*
Sure, bring it on.
*grins*
Flauros, *tickles$
Tresha: *squeals, jumping back*

Tresha: That's cheating!
Flauros: how?
Tresha: Because it's not fa-
*tackles him and pins him, tickling him*
Flauros: *tries not to laugh and takes it*
Tresha: *raises an eyebrow, tickling him faster, digging her fingers in*
Flauros: *bitss lip*
Tresha: *laughs, keeping him pinned, raising an eyebrow at him*
Flauros: no fair
Tresha: What's wrong Mr fragile warrior?
Flauros: that wasn't honourable
Tresha: *grins*
Honour isn't always a strength.
(Okay so a press the button option;
The author of your favourite book writes a sequel after they said the series was finished..
BUT
It's about the man characters dying slow, painful deaths.
Who'd click?)
Flauros; but I wasn't ready
Tresha: You should've been ready though.
(Would you press the button Chloe? For Skulduggery?)
(I wouldn't )
Flauros: why?
(Okay :)
Tresha: Because you should always be ready.
*shrugs*
You're fragile now, mortal. Anything could harm you.
(Hi.
If somebody contacts you on Skype, do NOT click on any links they post. Because they're viruses.)
( don't accept anyone that you don't know who it is, kinda common sense)
Nurse: Yes. We should get her something to eat. I'll be right back.
-leaves the room-
-looks really pale still-
Amy*
Harry: You should have said, I'd have got you something... * his her tighter*
Rich: * gets up and looks for a plaster for his cheek*
Amy: i'm alright now, Harry.
-looks at the time-
No...we have 20 minutes left of school...
Harry: Maybe I could walk you home if you want, so we have more time together?
Rich: * finds a SpongeBob plaster and places it over the hole*
Amy: ok -nods and smiles-
Nurse: -comes in with a sandwich and gives it to Amy-
Amy: -eats it-
(I really miss Soph...i was so happy that everyone was RPing together again. Her story-writing is amazing.
-sighs-
I can't be like that. I can't think of RP ideas. Soph can and she brongs people together.)
Brings*
(I am glad you were enjoying it, Gemma. But really - it is nothing special. You, or anyone could do something similar. I will be on tonight, however, to continue it. I believe that we were nearly finished with the bear trap challenge, so it is entirely up to people whether or not we skip the last part (since survival is guaranteed), or we carry on where we left off.)
(Hello Soph!
I can't wait to continue with the rp
Oh... It is Chloe btw)
(Hello, Chloe.)
Ok :D
Happy birthday to meeeeee!!!!
My birthday is definitely the best in the year
Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!
Does anyone have any tips on owning a franchise?
best franchises to open
Happy Birthday Kirsten. ^.^
(Penblwydd hapus I ti(
(-waits for people to come on-)
(Is here !
Waited two hours for nan in doctors)
(Hello Chloe)
(*can literally FEEL my friend judging my college choices from here*)
(Tell her to go fuck herself. Bet hers are shite. You do what you want to do.)
(Nah, she's being nice.
It's just anytime someone "smart" says "I'm going to new college not Greenhead" all the "smart" people going to Greenhead are like "That's nice but also that's the school for Greenhead rejects.")
(Well people at my Uni get dissed too cause it's meant to be shit. But my lecturer for marketing is funny as hell and he's one of the best lecturers in the UK so they can shut up.
My mum graduated top of her class from this Uni and now she's head of audiology for Paisley. It doesn't matter what Uni or College you go to. Everyone doing your course will get the exact same qualification.)
(Sorry, jack called ^.^
There's only one suitable college here...)
(Sorry, mum came back from work early and was being sick, just went to make sure she was okay.
Exactly.)
(Hello.)
(Soph!!!!! :D
Welcome back.
-offers hug-)
(Hello guys ^.^)
(Hey Soph *cuddles tightly*)
(Hello, Gemma. Hello, Chloe.)
(How is everyone?)
(I'm okay, a little concerned about if my future holds puke but otherwise fine. You?)
(I feel calm
I hope your mum is okay )
(Hello, Jaimie. *she cuddles Jaimie tightly*
So, I presume that you would all like to continue with the roleplay?)
(Pretty bored. Just playing animal crossing.)
(I miss star :-( )
(I'm sure she'll be fine.
*cuddles Sophi tightly back*
Yep!)
;lets get this show on the road)
(-glomps Gemmy from the bushes- hey gorgeous!)
(Hey K!)
(Keiron ^.^ we're continuing with the RP.)
-Cord, Wes, Cam, Blair and tsubaki watch in horror at Tegan's game-
Ila: Only a little more to go! *she laughs* This is fun. Just don't fall!
Tegan: m mummy...
Stay calm sweetheart... *looks to Sil* what shall we do?!
(how's everyone... Yes I seen...- hugs- doubt the 3 will join... Might make con see juvia and help? )
Harry: * smiles watching her* taste good?
Rich: Can we go now miss?
Con: * stirs from sleep yawning* you call this torture?
(Hello, Keiron.)
Sil: *looks up at the map that they're following*
Okay Tegan, two steps left then straight forwards. Just before the last row, jump towards mummy. Careful, you have no shoes on and the metal is cold slippery and spikey.
Tegan: o okay... *follows her instructions and jumps*
Sil: *darts forwards to catch her quickly*
Ila: This is what I call fun!
Baby!
Tegan: *clutches sil*
Sil: *holds her gently, smiling*
There you go see? Safe and sound.
*hands her over to Inky*
(I dedicate this page to the world
Despite all the wrong in it, if you take five minutes to look around at the scenery, you realise how beautiful it is)
Ila: Another hostage freed! You're working well! Well, when I say 'well' I mean that you're just doing as you're supposed to. That game was easy! Next one... not so much.
-everyone gasps and takes a relieved sigh-
Tsu: Thank god...
Cam: That was close.
