Oz

Australia, eh? Lovely country, full of weirdoes...

I'm sitting in my hotel room in... where am I? Melbourne? Adelaide? Wherever. Anyway, here I sit, tapping away at my laptop, about to go to bed and I figured I'd drop by and say hi.

So, y'know... hi.

The tour continues to go well. In fact, it's going great. Brilliantly. The response has been incredible, with so much energy and enthusiasm at each event. Signing queues have been massive, which is slightly less cool, because I just don't have the time to chat to each person as much as I'd like to, or even sign all of their books in some cases. Next time I'm over I'm going to INSIST that more time is left for signing. Some of these Minions-with-funny-accents go through an awful lot to get to me- some have been driving for 7 hours, some have even FLOWN in... The least I can do is have a chat and sign whatever they have. Sometimes that's just not possible, but I try my best.

I've met so many people from this Blog and the Forums and the Facebook pages (and the old Bebo page! Which I must reactivate... maybe... The Bebo page was DAUNTING because of the amount of comments and emails I'd have to answer every time I logged in... Every time I opened the Bebo page I'd spend HOURS there... no such thing as a quick dip in and out...)

Where was I? Oh yes, meeting a load of people I've only seen online. That's pretty cool, to be honest. I had no idea, for example, that Nixion or Calamity were Australian (well, maybe I did have an idea once, but I'd totally forgotten it). It's always so weird when I meet people and realise I know them from somewhere online- it's like we're old friends, and yet we've never met...

Another nice thing about being on tour is the amount of hyperventilating teenage girls who arrive in front of me. I swear, if Teenage Me ever found out what Adult Me is confronted with every day on tour, he'd be so insanely jealous... You're all hysterically funny and quite, quite odd.

When I get home I'll post pictures of some of the cool stuff I've been given (really, you'll have to see them to understand the coolness of some of your fellow Minions), but suffice it to say that I'm really glad I only packed half a suitcase worth of stuff- because I'll be going home with a LOT more than I came with.


Right then, just a few things before I go... According to the Facebook page, some stores in the UK and Ireland have already released KOTW. Naughty,  naughty stores. On its OFFICIAL release date I'll put up a special Spoiler blog where you can discuss it here openly, but until then, please keep doing what you're doing and don't spoil it for the others. I'm very grateful to you all for the restraint you've shown so far.


Because of the fact that some schools are back early, some of the Irish times have been changed.


Thursday 30th August
Public Signing: Easons, Whitewater Shopping Centre, Newbridge, TIME CHANGE FROM 12 noon to 2PM start.

Friday 31st August
Public Signing: Dubray Books, Market Cross Shopping Centre, Kilkenny, TIME CHANGE FROM 2PM TO 4PM start.




And one last thing- the competition winners from, ahem, last year. Yes yes, it's taken me ages to send you your books, but now you're also going to get a signed KOTW too, so, like, yay...! But I need you to send your names and addresses to us again, because SOME of you, hilariously, decided not to include your real name the last time, and instead insisted that the books be sent to your online taken name... which would have confused the nice people who deliver the parcels. Also, I know that at least one of you have changed addresses since winning, so we're gonna need an update.

So, send your real name, and your real address (and also your online name so I'll know who you are) to this email:

kids.marketing@harpercollins.co.uk.

It's the only email address they could find that wasn't being used for anything else... Sorry...

EDIT:

Here's the list of winners, in case you've forgotten.

Miss Arianna Dark

Skulduggeryaddict

Octaboona

Asteria Wing

The BookNommer

Necros

Andrew

Silke Gronau

Lauren Longbottom

1st!!!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

YES! HI DEREK!

~Acacia Volt~ said...

I dedicate this blog post page to the disturbing amount of ‘BECKY SAYS HELLO’s you’re getting.

They. Are. Hilarious.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

Ah, that seven hour drive. It was very taxing on my patience. No, actually, when the car wouldn’t start and I missed that first 45 minutes of your talking/questions session. THAT was SO INCREDIBLY VEXING!

Nixion Strange said...

NOW I SHALL READ THE POST

REMEMBER ME DEREK?!

Luciana said...

NEW POST! ^_^

Drew O'Connor said...

You better get ready for some Irish weirdness when I come to see you in Dublin, Derek lol

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

Good morning Derek!

Danielle said...

Yay for books being sent :D I've been holding off and getting the 6th and 7th ones since I'd have to order from overseas anyway. Can't wait to read them!

Nixion Strange said...

OH MY GOD I WAS MENTIONED IN A POST!

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

Nix I was waiting to see your reaction xD

Unknown said...

I saw. He remembers you. :P

Nixion Strange said...

*runs around in circles*

FIRST I MET DEREK, THEN I GET MENTIONED IN A POST

WHY IS LIFE SUDDENLY DECIDING TO SMILE UPON ME? GOLDEN GOD LUCK?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

HEY DEREK.
Goddamnit he's probably already gone again -_-

Luciana said...

*grins* I remember when he mentioned me in a post once.

I ran around the house screaming...

For a good hour or so...

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

I havent gotten mentioned in a post yet but you probably would be able to hear me from UK and Ireland

Luciana said...

I HAVE ALMOST 40 SKULDUGGERY BOOKS.

*screams*

Unknown said...

I wouldn't run, I would sit my screen and refresh the page and wonder if he confused it with another person. Then go find food to eat and refresh a few more times and learn to accept it. xD

Unknown said...

I would have seen you in Sydney but I decided not to travel BY FOOT all the way to the bookstore. Next time can you do a tour near the train station?

Anyway glad you enjoyed Australia

Luciana said...

WHY WON'T THE GODDAMN POST LIKE ME AND LET ME HAVE AT LEAST ONE OF THE 7 BOOKS I HAVE ON ORDERRRRRRRR!?

Luciana said...

I should calm down...

Too excited...

I might buy some more SP books soon...

My grandparents are visiting America next month...*smiles* US COPIEEEEEES.

Luciana said...

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

the american ones suck though...

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

L least it didnt cancel your order. My order of DD got canceled....I'm surprised Derek didnt ask which Minion spazzed cuz I spazzed. It was supposed to arrive the next day so i ordered it AGAIN and got it

Nixion Strange said...

*is trying not to die from being mentioned*
So, any good vampire names?!

Niamhy Jay said...

GAH Still can't believe that while others are sitting reading their books, I still have to wait another 13 DAYS!!

Glad you're having fun on the tour!!
Sounds like so much fun!!

Luciana said...

*frowns* I like the American covers.

I also really want to read the interview in the back of one of them...

I want the Oz copies, as well.

Luciana said...

*hugs NJ* I'm waiting for my reading copy of KotW so I can read it on the 30th like a good little Minion. ^.^

Kiiyashi said...

Kiiyashi gets no mention Derek?
Disappointing.
Recorded as much of your talking and question answering as was possible :/

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

but the american ones are just wrong -_- i dont see why they had to go and totaly change it, tom percival did an awesome job with all the covers already!

Luciana said...

They're not wrong, they're to appeal to another audience!

It's so the books can get more fans and the fandom can grow into a big happy familyyyyy. *hugs everyone INCLUDING DEREK* THIS FANDOM IS A FAMILY OKAY AND THE MORE THE MERRIER.

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Kiiyashi!~

Eve the ROCK said...

You haven't seen anything yet, Derek. Adelaide...rain in Adelaide....rain on Rundle Mall.....let's take a wall through the colours in the air.... Anyway, I'll be in Adelaide! Watch out for Eve!

Nixion Strange said...

Wow... sorry Em...

Unknown said...

Em, although I may not necessarily know you I hope you feel better soon.
I actually blame everyone's sickness on the weather. It sucks at the moment.

Eve the ROCK said...

:( Aw, Em! We all love you lots! Get better for us please! :(

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

*hugs Em* my god....i go to the beach and you really sick no Iriminion allowed to be sick. Get better

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

hmmm but still, I recon they could have just published them in america the same way they publish them in every other country,

It's just a pain for the ameriminions the way they get seperated, everything from only having 3 books to getting totaly seperate covers

Luciana said...

*hugs Em very tightly* You're going to get better. Okay. Good. You're not allowed to be too ill. I love you too much. <3

LOL, EVE. Evvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee is going to Adelaide signing and so is Hellboy. And they both have messages to Derek from me. ^.^ I LOVE THESE GUYS OKAY.

AndrewTheNerd said...

I HAVE IT EHEHEHEHHEHE

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Is anyone else unable to go on the skulduggery website or is that just me?

Luciana said...

Matex, the Ameriminions had no say in it. It was HC in the USA. They're slightly obnoxious. >.< They've only got the first trilogy, because of something to do with the publishers...And I kind of like that art.
I can't believe you said it was wrong. >.< No. It's not wrong, it's different. It's new. It's pretty. c:

Drew O'Connor said...

Didn't mean to put a downer on the new post.

Thanks Kallie for helping me tell everyone.

And I collapsed the night before not last night lol I was only home yesterday afternoon.

Thanks everyone for not panicking lol

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, it was like that for me yesterday. I haven't tried since

No one going to answer me?

Niamhy Jay said...

Your eyes arent fooling you Kallie, it's just that I am Skyping Em.

Eve the ROCK said...

Yup! You aint seen nothin til you've seen the freaks in Adelaide ;) We got a Hellboy, and we have an EVE. The Monstrous Eve will be there always. At the signing. At the event. It will be there.


And it will be insane.

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

Em I guess I cant throw you in the lake....oh wellz

*throws Derek in lake* some Irish person had to go in

AndrewTheNerd said...

AW BABY I HAVE A PROFILE PICTURE
ME AND DEREK LAST YEAR AWWWWWW BABY

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I know they had no say! Thats why I said its a pain for them, I'm agreeing with you haha,

But to me it's wrong, I only picked up skulduggery in the first place because of the art, way back when the first book came out. To me the cover is a huge part of series. It just seems silly that they went and got a different artist.

Nixion Strange said...

Guessing that's a "sorry Nixion, no one's going to answer"

Gepard Valk said...

*derps in*

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Valk!

Eve the ROCK said...

I can't think of anything, Nix. Pluvius? :P

Luciana said...

*laughs* Derek's going to have fun tomorrow then, Eve!

Unknown said...

Well, it's late here and I need to sleep.
Night everyone!

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Gepard!!
*hugs*

Luciana said...

Heya, Gep.

Nixion Strange said...

At least someone tried to answer. I didn't need a name, a simple "I can't think of any" would have been fine

Thanks Eve, but no

Luciana said...

I MADE AN ERROR...

My bookcase doesn't have space for 7 more books...

SOMEONE FIX IT...

Gepard Valk said...

Hey, erryone who said hello. O.o you post like ten comments at once.

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

Night Ellen!

Eve tomorrowmorning for me I'm looking forward to knowing if the Golden God trusts me as Grand Mage i doubt it though cuz I'm just....evil

Gepard Valk said...

*makes it so that Luci's bookcase is bigger on the behind* xD

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Im going to magically poof out of here :)

Bye everyone,
And even though I dont know you Em, get well soon!!

*poof*

Nixion Strange said...

That happens on a new post
For some reason, people don't comment and talk on the posts, but as soon as there's a new post, they all pop up. It's slightly annoying how, in a place for talking, they don't reallly talk

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

Niiiiix did you by any chance tell Derek I said hi?

Uhm....Jason?

Nixion Strange said...

No to Jason, and no, seriously, there wasn't time to remember

Eve the ROCK said...

He will, Luce. I told one of my school friends about the signing and she said she might be able to come, and then she said "We have to act like normal people, just normal people."

I stated at her, not comprehending.

I said, "Nor....mal?"


Derek, I'm bring a rock. A ROCK. For you to sign. I'm not bashing your head in with it. I want you to sign it. Along with a skull I bought. Don't worry, I brought a permanent texta and it's been tested :)

Gepard Valk said...

*noms s'more*

Niamhy Jay said...

@Luce try setting the books Sideways??

Nixion Strange said...

That's fine Kal. I just like it wheen someone says something. I'm fine with a "can't think of anything"
But people have started ignoring me all the time, and that's annoying

Drew O'Connor said...

Vampire Name??

Hmmm???

Eras???

No that's a shit vampire name

Luciana said...

EVEEEEEEE.

IF YOU SEE HELLBOY REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU OKAY. THANK YOU.

Bye, anyone that left!

Gepard Valk said...

NIX WHY DON'T YOU SKYPE US? OuO

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

Ah well I'm counting on Em & Eve then....

*sits in my tree*

TREE!!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Nix....blog comment sections were never meant for talking. They were for commenting on posts. These people who don't stay and chat are what some might call.... 'ordinary'. :P

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but this blog is for talking

Gep, I don't have skype and can't get it

Luciana said...

NJ, I think I'mma get my sister to re-organize it. She's doing a maths degree, she's supposed to be clever. :P

Eve the ROCK said...

Yep, don't worry Lucy Anna, don't worry Zafmira, I've got it all in my notes on my iPod!

Gepard Valk said...

NIX ERRYONE CAN GET SKYPE, SILLY BOY.

Niamhy Jay said...

@Luce LOL

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns*
No I can't. I have to download something to go on skype, and I can't download anything

Luciana said...

SO MANY CONVERSATIONS GOING ON TODAY. O.O

Eve the ROCK said...

Gotta let my iPod charge for tomorrow. See you til it's charged!

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

Eve the ROCK said...

Sandy said...

BookDepository.com has also sent KOTW out early as well. I was so surprised when they told me the book was released by the publisher. It's zipping through the mail system on its way to me right now and it will still probably won't arrive until after the official release date :P

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Luciana said...

My ego is beautiful;3

flaring rhythm said...

Hey guys!

PLEASE READ THIS GUYS SRS

Okay, so, I'm making something for Derek (DEREK IF YOU'RE READING THIS GET AWAY RIGHT NOW. GET AWAY, CHILD.)


ahem.
so.
Anyway, I'm making something for Derek and I need loads of you guys to contribute to it!

Sorry I can't say much else here BUT THE GOLDEN GOD STALKS THESE PARTS AND SHOULD NOT BE READING THIS

So as he probably will, email me at raisincain@hotmail.co.uk or you can text me on 07526615652 (but I live in the UK so ye be warned if you decide to text from Australia or something and then see your phone bill after) or you can facebook me: http://www.facebook.com/#!/olivia.l.spring

Thanks guys, I really need your help!

:D

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Flaring!

Luciana said...

Basically it's GGG, guys... >.<

Luciana said...

CAN I MAKE A POINT THAT GGG WAS THE ORIGINAL IDEA AND I AM STILL GOING AHEAD WITH IT, BUT IT'S ONLY FOR BLOGLANDIANS. WE'VE PUT TOO MUCH HARD WORK INTO IT TO STOP NOW.
WE'VE GOT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS. I PROMISE. <3

Tori said...

GGG???

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

Im here!

Tori said...

hi Zafira

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

Hi Tori, have we met?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HELLO DEREK!



Yaaaaay! I'm about to send the email now!




Alsoooooo... Do you have anything to say about my letter? Hmmmm? DO YOU?!


Sorry, I'm insane, as you know.



But yay to you for meeting Sparky! I'm jealous. I want to meet Sparky!

Maybe next time you go to Australia you should just, you know, take me there too...


And I AM SO EXCITED TO GET MY BOOKS FROM YOU!

Luciana said...

http://youllneedtofindyourselfanewhero.blogspot.co.uk/

GGG.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

ALSO! DEREK!


We are having another party for you. Yay! But, this time, we figured that, even though we have a strong feeling it won't work, we would invite YOU this year!!!

Where: I'm about to send your publishers or whatever my address.

When: Probably October 19 or 20.

Time: I have no clue.

Reason: So that your crazy fans (mostly me) can swarm you with questions at your birthday party.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Val!

im going to go now

me tired

bye all!

Tori said...

bye Miss Cain

Luciana said...

Bye, Cain.

Colleen McGuigan said...

Hey :) (I used to be ValkyrieCain, but I changed my name. Just call me Colleen, if you want.)
And I'm giving up a Show-Jumping league to go to the Belfast signing. That just goes to show how much I want to go. :P

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

Lucky!!! I'd give anything to get even a book signed

Tori said...

I wish Derek Landy would come to the US
I'd drive for hours to go to a signing but my mom would not let me go across the ocean

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

My mom would take me anywhere in the US if Derek would come...


Let's start an angry mob!

*gets pitchforks and torches*

AAAARRAAAGGGGHHHHH!

Colleen McGuigan said...

We all need our own personal Fletcher Renn, to teleport us wherever we want...

Tori said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Exactly! That's what I thought!


I think my friends would all laugh hysterically if I ever met someone named Fletcher, though... I think it would be awkward.



But yes, having your teleporter would be quite useful...

Colleen McGuigan said...

Hi L :) *Hugs*

Tori said...

My friends have never read the skulduggery pleasant books so they wouldn't understand why they would find me on the floor laughing near a guy named fletcher :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey L!




Um, I was wondering... Can I join GGG?

Luciana said...

Hmmm...

Will be distant...Dedicating...

Someone in Armagh won the Euro-Millions, and the ot 2Million O_O Me and my auntie were planning what we would do with it if we had have won, and it was quite hilarious. :P

Luciana said...

Yes you can, Val! I'll add you as an admin as soon as I have your e-mail! :3

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

There was this guy at my school who apparently looked like Fletcher from Ant Farm or something, so for the first couple months my friends would go, "You should go out with that guy! You can be Valkyrie and Fletcher!"

And I would smack them. It was funny, though.

Lol Val

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Exactly. And that was, like, the day after I read Death Bringer.


Besides, I never liked Fletcher all that much.


However, if I were to meet a good-looking guy with spiky blonde hair named Fletcher, that doesn't mean I wouldn't go out with him...

Ahhhh i havent ever been in the first eight hundred before! YAY well maybe derek will hear me now DEREK i have a story for you actually i am too tired to tell it right now so never mind

Tori said...

I would ask him if he'd ever read Skulduggery Pleasant and if he said no then I would hand him the books and say "Once you read these, you'll understand" :P

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That would be hilarious XD


No, better yet, if he had read Skulduggery and he saw a nineteen year old who had black hair and dark eyes and scream, "RUN VALKYRIE! IT'S CAELAN!"


That would never happen, but that would be SO FUNNY.

Colleen McGuigan said...

I have forced my auntie into reading SP... She LOVES it! She loves Fletcher :D Yayyyy :3

Tori said...

no, have him yell "BAD MAN!!"
and then scream like a little girl to give a false sense of security lol
