Here is the first batch of stuff I was given while on the KOTW tour.
I've started to only pack half a bag every time I go away, because the amount of things I'm given while signing is just astronomical. What usually happens is that my publicist takes anything I can't fit onto the plane and sends it on to me afterwards. Well, the final package has arrived, so here I am to give you a brief pictorial rundown.
A skull! Signed by "le gang"! And a picture from the irrepressible one, Becky...
I don't have room to put up all of the artwork I was handed, but here are some pieces that stood out...
And I was also given books! One Minion had illustrated my biography blurbs- wonderfully unique idea! And in Liverpool I was handed Project Baguette, a collection of letters and notes and drawings and all kinds of coolness.
And elsewhere in the UK I was given a box! A wonderful little box!
But what's INSIDE the wonderful little box? Is it, perhaps, a set of wonderfully TINY Skulduggery books? It is!
The pic below is so cool. For those of you who can't spot the similarity, this is Super Derek, sitting on a stack of books, reading one with, er, his tongue hanging out of his mouth...
Quite simply one of the CUTEST things I've ever been given.
I've shown this one before, but I figured I'd do it again, and add in another two Skulduggerys (one from this tour, another from... three years ago, maybe...?)
And this! This Raggy Skulduggery that SHE WOULDN'T LET ME KEEP!
Because of the unfortunate lack of Skulduggery merchandise, many of you have had to improvise. Some of you, ahem, have improvised better than others...
Ah, the Tall Bonde! One of my favourites! You've seen her picture here before (I doubt you've forgotten it) but here is a picture of the BACK of Sabrina Sparrow's T-shirt...
And this is Sabrina's partner-in-crime Becky, giving a suitably deadpan freedom sign...
Naturally, Sabrina and Becky came with their banner- much like they did the LAST time they turned up...
(Present)
(Past)
And here's a picture of Mable and Sherlock totally agreeing with the message in my kitchen...
As I was shifting these pictures from my phone, I came across a few I'd taken in Germany a few years ago...
See that? Stylish AND practical!
And to finish it off, here's a picture of my cousin Michael, who came to one of the events in Australia and looked, it has to be said, AWESOME.
Once again, thanks to everyone who came along, and an extra special thanks to those of you who did something extra special.

Hello. Marshmallows are good.
Oh, and you people were discussing how many times you've read the books, right? I have read them too many times to count. I'm on my 4th time through KotW, and I only got it a week and a half ago. That should give you a clue. ;)
Hi, Kes!
KAL! *hugs* Have a...um...cookie? Yeah, that sounds right.
WILLOW!!!!!*hugs*
*hugs back*
How are you?
Gtg now - fours!
Cupcake!
Kal, I remember the first time we spoke, you have me a cupcake.
I could not have been any happier that moment, I swear.
A cupcake from Kal.
*noms it*
Bye, Ink!
Bye Star!
I'm fine, Willow, there's something wonky going on with my vision. You?
Hey guys sorry I wasn't on.
* blushes*
It took me a couple of hours to realise that new comments weren't coming up because I was on an old page.
*tickles Sparky's toes*
*kicks Flame*
Stop it.
I could be better.
Hi, Eden!
It could be worse,
In some countries people beat other people's feet as a form of state interrogation and punishment.
Hi eden!
Eden, Flame, And Kal, would you guys mind writing a short story about the first time your OC met Skul & Co. and sending it to me at kestrelstarr@gmail.com? I am putting them all in a book which may eventually find its way into derek's mailbox.
My wha?
Okay, I assume that means my personal character.
Thanks Kal!
And yeah, Eden, OC=Original Character
Hey Kal,
Your lucky, you already got to meet them in the books.
http://kestrellestarre.deviantart.com/art/Ghastly-Bespoke-Powers-329850526?ga_submit=10%3A1348955604
What do you guys think?
Eden, yeah, that IS true. *is jealous of Kal*
Okay.
* smiles *
I will do my best.
Aw, I like tickling people...
Ew, I have to go shopping, tomorrow.
Thanks Eden!
Flame I am not ticklish! *sticks tongue out and runs away*
Willow, what kind of shopping. In my experience(which is very little) book shopping is the only good kind of shopping.
Clothes shopping. I apparently need more skirts and dresses.
Exactly.
If I do say so myself it is also the most important.
(After clothes, food and house shopping)
Why? Skirts and dresses are useless.
And Willow, would you mind writing one too?
I have to get a few more bottoms and jumpers because according to my mother " I live in summer clothes".
So we're going to Dublin next weekend.
So you will be close to Derek at least. And what is wrong with summer clothes?
TODAY'S STAURDAY?
RIGHT?
THE 29th !
AND WILLOW. YOU'RE HERE?
*hugs*
That just dawned on me.
Kes, I'll try and find the time to do it. I have loads of things on at the moment.
*laughs at Flame* She said the 27th I think actually.
Alright, Willow, thanks.
Well, in my mothers opinion I will freeze to death or have a bad cold.
And I don't get it anyway because if I wear anything ( mostly rugby shirts because they suit me. Not because I'm fat or anything) I roll the sleeves up to the elbows.
heh.
Hello, fellow weirdos!
29th, Kessie
It was the 27th.
I attempted and failed.
Hi Val!
BAD WILLOW
Hi, Val
The 27th was my little brothers birthday.
Great.
How are you Val?
Hi val.
* holds hand out for the weirdo handshake *
If your really weird you'll know it.
*slaps hand down* You didn't offer ME the weirdo handshake! *glares*
That's 'cos Ivy there, IS the WEIRDEST.
That right, Ivs?
I have to go, bye!
bbl
Ah that is because this is a test, if your really weird you don't shake hands you do this.
* runs around like mad laughing like a looney *
Ow * runs into a branch*
Bye Kessie.
My name is a code-word for alcohol.
*giggles*
Bye, Kes!
What do you mean?
* thinks of all the booze code words.
Lightbulb turns on*
Is your name booze?
No, no, no.
My name is Emily.
I was looking it up in urban dictionary.
Oh
* deflates *
I didn't know Emily is a code for booze.
Eden's is John.
Right John?
Ooh, see what William is if its in it at all.
* grins in anticipation*
Either did I.
Nope,my name is not John therefore it is not the slang for toilet.
My real name is Uilliam.
I hate being one of hate tallest people in my school.
Ta Uilliam an gaeilge ar William.
Uilliam?
I prefer John.
Let's call you John.
Well I'd take being the tallest over being in the bottom few. ( maybe ten or twenty out of over 700 people)
Or Séan, or whatever.
Okay,
Flames name is Larry.
Or seamus or whatever.
I can't imagine Flame as a Larry.
Neither can I and I can't imagine myself as a John or a Seamus.
So that's why I prefer Eden, as is written on the posts or if you must Uilliam V since I am the fifth Uilliam/William in my family.
( pronounced ill-ee-um or ill-yum if you say it fast)
I'm going to put liquid eyeliner on my eye again so the whites of them go grey again.
Irish for John is Séan.
Irish for James is Seamus.
Why?
* thinks about how much question I ask *
* shrugs*
Because, Eden, it looks nice with my blue eyes.
Oh that's why you said Sean.
I just said the first name I thought of after Larry.
Would the Irish Larry be Lar ?
Like Lar Corbiett
Corbett*
@willow I suppose blue does go with grey but doesn't that do damage to your eye?
It's stings a little. But, it doesn't hurt.
Hurting is one thing but does it damage your eyes,
Are you ruining your eye site by doing it?
Hallo? ;-;
No clue. But they've gone back to white, now.
Oh lovely. I'm with a bunch of people I don't know. Uh. Hi, I suppose.
Eden, its... Eyesight
Hi Jaden!
It's a pleasure to meet you!
Here's a muffin
*gives a muffin*
Hello Mr Dark.
I'm Eden Threatening, teleporter, symbolist, smart, strong, good looking and downright awesome.
* holds out hand*
Hello?
I know, my iPads correct type gives me grief.
HELLO
Hello
* smiles *
You think a lot of yourself, Mr. Threatening... I like it. I'm not of the SP universe. I'm a Peacekeeper. I master the four regular elements and the four irregular. Electricity, metal, ice and darkness.
And I don't take nicely to morons. You... Should definitely not forget that.
Yes I'm on an iPod. Much worse.
Jaden, do I seem like a moron?
Okay, I knew most of that because I read your profile info.
And what district do live in Mr Dark or may I call you Jade?
Eden's definitely a moron.
Hi, Jaden.
I'm Phoenix.
That's as much as you need to know, really.
That's all you're gonna know, really.
Jaden*
And I have white hair, blue eyes.
Flame please, I am not a moron it's hut that I have a bit of a problem when it comes to shutting my mouth.
* grins *
But I'm working on it.
Flame I know you. It's dill pickle.
IPod's are bitches.
*flicks Eden*
Use grammar, child! *You live in Mr. Dark, or may I call you Jaden. Jade is a girl's name.
And did Eden seem like a moron?
Well I'm not sure...
Eden since when?
You wrote that comment?
*smiles*
Jaden, I'm not sure I know you..
You'd better make the presumption earlier on, he normaly does offend.
That's his probelmous 'big mouth syndrome'.
Hello again!
I am sincerely sorry for disappearing earlier. My apologies.
Just kidding. Anyway, how is everyone?
I'm sorry I'm taking the piss out of you, Eden. It's a rare occasion I get to.
I am a child.
Oh I got first comment. I dedicate this to... My new storyline and in the hope I get my book... Um. Work in progress finished and published.
Just*
Oh I'm fine Val.
Hi, Val!
I just made a clay sculpture of Derek riding a unicorn...
Cool, what is this book/work in progress called.
And Flame what age are you?
Flame. It's Dylan. Kai.
Hey Val!
DO you know, Jaden?
I wanna get published.
I just read Star'd comments...
I don't know whether I'm crying because of what she wrote or if I'm crying because of the pain..
FLAME! *pokes him in the eye*
I THOUGHT SO!
OMG. YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID DILLON QUIKSILVER!
Man, I used to love you.
How's life?
For about the millionth time, Eden, I'm 13.
A year older than you!
Ah but in two months I'll be 13 so ha.
And hi Luce.
Star's*
I hate my phone.
I hate being tired.
I hate sleep.
It's name? Oh I hadn't thought about THAT yet. Uhhhh.
Oh oh.
The Darkness Within. Hehhehe. >:)
It's a book with a twist in the end. And there will be a sequel.
Hello, Eden. :)
In 5 months I'm fourteen.
So yeah.
Sorry, I had to be on the phone.
Cool, I need to find a replacement for that word.
What about splendid?
No too girly and posh.
In 7 months exactly I'm fourteen.
Yes, but Flame,there will be a brief period for three months where we will be the same age.
* grins*
You. Hate. Sleep.? F**king crazy, woman.
I feel very young.
Long story about why I hate sleep.
Let's cut it short, my imagination can scar pretty much anybody. Including me, apparently. And then it causes me to have attacks, so...
...You guys are making me feel old...
Why?
What age are you?
Age is only a number and in the mind.
Yeah you are young. I turn seventeen in six months. Or five and a bit. Or... Oh fahk this. I'm seventeen next year.
c:
I'm sixteen in November, my dear. But I act like a three year old and have a greater mental capacity than a 30 year old.
Eden, I'm going to die within those three months.
Hello Lucianna. *hugies*
how areth you, my favourite person to email and talk to with our convos?
You know, One Direction has a song about sex?
*gags* Gross. One Direction.
*hugs Flame* Hello. :3
I'm tired. But I had about 4hours sleep before coming back here. Which is a lot for me....It's irritating. It means my illness is getting worse. I only sleep for a long time when I'm seriously ill. So, basically, not so good. And msd - phone may die.
How are you, sweetie?
Really, what is it called.
And if you piss me off by hating on 1D simply because I'm a boy and I like them... ILL CUT YOU IN YOUR FUCKING SLEEP. Clear? C:
It only makes them even worse than they seem.
* gags at 1d
*
Fine. Clear.
I hate them because I think they're stupid.
Oh I don't care who likes them.
I think their songs are quite good it's just I hate their hair.
I think that's what makes you beautiful is brilliant.
I like 1D's talent and the fact that my friend knows two of them. But I don't like the music they're singing now...
I like my k-pop and rock. C:
It's called up all night. "people going all the way" which was when Louis dry humped the air in the concert. "don't care bout the table breaking" "I'm gonna do it all with you" definitely about sex.
I'm not looking forward to Christmas.
Their hair is the best part. And yes, I'm also bisexual, and yes I think Styles is hot.
I FOUND DARK DAYS!
And when I say friend I mean a friend of one of my only two friends because I don't get along with people.
*shrugs* People are obnoxious, anyway.
Major msd! D:
Definitely, no question about it.
Can't believe they went that way, I thought the direction they were heading in was fine but then it goes to show you there's only one direction in the music industry.
* smiles at the realisation of joke*
I have five editions of Dark Days. D,:
I NEED MORE.
Hello people of Blogland! (I'm assuming you're human)
I have five Dark Days copies too :)
L., I only have 1! *gasp* However, I am saving up to buy the hardcovers, so...
My collection suddenly seems very small. My parents don't approve of SP, so when I buy extra copies I get a loooooooooooooooong lecture on how I'm wasting my money.
strike that, they don't approve of my OBSESSION with SP.
It's only half twelve and I'm ready to go to sleep? Something is wrong, very wrong.
There's only one edition of DD I don't have from UK/Ireland. And that's the one with the number on the side.
I have all TFO editions, though! And I'm buying the last SP edition I'm lacking - large paperback. C':
I know what you mean Luce.
I have one real friend in school and one of the things we have in common is that we think half the class are idiots.
( they are you should see them in French)
I'm OK Lucianna, I'm OK.
Shit...
Where's the first one...
*sighs*
L., as soon as I get enough money, I am going to mass order SP books. At the moment I only have 10. ):
I have two copies of dd , the first edition paperback and the revised artwork paperback one.
*laughs at Flame*
I am lending my US copy of the first one to someone and they've had it for over a week...I shall reclaim it MOnday.
I have 11 but one of them is in Spain.
Yeah, well 1D aren't all the nice cute boys they think the band is. They actually got really dirty minds. Niall calls boobs chicken fillets. <3
My SP books are ruined. I am never lending anyone books again. Unless, they're Rose or Komodo.
Kes, I have 40 SP books. My grandparents told me they'll buy me at least three more for my birthday. I'm buying at least one more, myself. And then my uncle will probably buy me a couple.
Then I can buy all the USA editions.
Then the Australian editions.
Then the French editions.
Then the Spanish editions.
Then, hopefully, I'll learn a new language - maybe German? So I can morrrrrreeee Skulduggery. XD
I have 2 copies of the first one(U.S., and the UK one with the colored pages), 2 of PWF(same as SP), 1 of TFO(UK coloured pages), 1 of DD(UK paperback), 1 of MC(UK paperback), 1 of DB(large paperback) one of TEOTW, and 1 of KotW(large paperback)
What the f***, I think that's just wrong.
And my brother lent someone in his class my signed hardback of DB.
Ooh 12, I forgot TEOTW.
Why on earth would he do that?
And the person I lent it too lost his reading glasses for a couple days, so he kind of has an excuse.
But a HARDBACKED SIGNED DEATH BRINGER?!?!!
Sure on tour Niall masturbated to 'pass the boredom'.
I know, he stole it from my bedroom and brought it to school.
He was so lucky that it was fine or I would have cut him a new one.
That's...lovely.
I lent my HG books to peggy.
She lent the first one to her cousin.
I haven't gotten it back
I've got the 2nd and third but not the first.
I'll ask her again on monday.
YOUR COPY! I thought you meant HIS! That is just...cruel.
Okay, I'm gonna be distant now, because I'm writing.
SP-
Hardback x 2
Proof Copy x 1
Orange pages paperback x 1
White edged paperback x 2
New paperback x 2
Battlepack x 1
AND SOON I SHALL BUY ANOTHER. C':
I need the large paperback editions of...
SP
PWF
MC
DB
KotW
And the collectors edition hardbacks of...
MC
DB
And DD with a number on the side.
And then I'll have completed the UK/Ireland collections. XD
Okay.
* mental note only ever listen to lyric videos of 1d never look at the actual weirdos * ( and I mean weirdo in a bad way)
Why the f*ck is the pipe band out?
It's ruining this song.
SHUT UP, HOOLIGANS!
Alright.
Jaden, would you mind writing a short story about the first time your OC met Skul & Co.? I am putting them all in a book which MAY find its way into Derek's mailbox.
He did not. :o but I gotta say, I'm a teen boy who gets bored a lot. So I... Uh.
I REGRET NOTHING
Look at this
http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?feature=related&v=1o3fcUH-yPQ
IVY WHAT YA WRITING??
L., I am officially jealous.
A STORY ABOUT ME AND DEREK IN SOME FOREST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THERE ARE UNICORNS c:
Lovely, Jaden.
And What Be That?
Speaking of which...Derek LIED to us. He sadi UNICORNS didn't exist!
*laughs* Jaden, you're rather amusing... (':
Kes, a lot of people are. Then they see Becky's collection. :P
I know! I started laughing, because I thought Skul was joking.
WRITE THE IVY STORY!
YOU SAID IT'D GET PUBLISHED.
WRIIIIIIIIIIIITE
Kallista- in general, a true name is a single name, like Argeddion, or Rumplestilskin...
Zaf- Hopefully I'll get the chance to explain how Sanguine sees somewhere in the next two books, or maybe in a short story...
Now I'm going to bed. Night all!
DEREK!
I GOT YOUR BOOKS IN THE MAIL!
http://kestrellestarre.deviantart.com/
Look at my FANART!
NO! DON'T GO TO BED! STAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE!
Derekkkkkk. *hugs* night!
DEREK! OHmigod ohmigod!
HI!!!
Damn, I forgot to ask my question.
I just spazzed out and almost threw the laptop because I saw Derek commented and was excited....
*crosses fingers* PLEASE answer.
Who would win in a fight: Skul or China, if Skul didn't let Vile out?
Night, Derek. You go to bed very early.
