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.

You know, I think I'm getting over the whole 'oh my f*cking golden god Derek blogspoke' thing. I remember the first two times he blogspoke to me...
I was actually in shock. XD
Oh, f*ck.
Can you imagine what I'd be like if Derek did a signing I'm Sheffield!?
Derek please come,back.
*grabs his legs*
I saw you in Kilkenny.
Holy crap he talked.SAY GOODNIGHT TO ME DEREK!! Say my name PLEASEEE.
Well Derek, I hope you have dreams of unicorns and goblins and dead things :)
Lucianna, it seems you are amused by us boys talking about sexual things ;)
In*
Bye Derek.
Bye Derek.
DEREk
NOOOO
Derek, and I hope you rethink the whole 'Unicorns do not exist' thing. Because they DO. I have SEEN one!
I'm going to have to go soon. A shoe was just thrown at my head. Thanks, Mother. -_-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
hi.
Probably because I find it adorable, Flame~!
And because my mind can be a filthy place. :P
DEREK.
I WAS GOING TO ASK IF YOU WOULD MARRY ME.
SO.
CLOSE.
* laughs at shoe projectile*
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL
Derek!! HI!
I saw you in Dublin! Remember, you started taking the mickey out of me for getting an autograph for Peggy?
Yeah, she liked that btw. :D
Just to let you know.
*laughs*
Now I know. I must SPAM the comments to get an answer.
Hi, Adra
*note to self never get a sensitive to read Luce's mind*
WILLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW *huggles* HIYA!!!
DAMN. I MISSED. HIM. AGAIN. Night= ruined.... And I was getting all hyped up for DW!
I wasn't very memorable at the signing but you recognised me from the blog.
Well, so can mine. That's why we get along :D
Adra!*shrieks* go on gmail!
DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK DEREK
NJ WAS GOING TO EVEN PROPOSE TO YOU FOR ME. WITH A RING AND ALL. AND SHE GOT CANCELLED BY A PARADE *angry face*
oh lawdy...
Please come back soon Derek.
And I'm holding you to the promise you made at the signing in Kilkenny.
It's rare for me to be thinking pleasant things... (':
Probably why a couple of people are convinced I'm insane... Hehe.
Derek told me that him and I were good friends. He also asked me for a ten euro, in Dalkey.
Evil parade...*mutters angrily*
Alright, Kes???
And I know. Seriously devastated here... OH and my mum said that if Derek were ever to like, go to Some signing, even if it was in chicago, we'd take a train to go see him.
MY MOTHER IS AMAZING AND I TIP MY HAT TO HER
Why was that, Willow?
What promise, Eden?
I've never met Derek. xD
If I did, I doubt he'd recognise my name. :P
I'm easy to forget. C:
Oh, guess what STILL didn't come in the mail today??? DB, OR KOTW> >.<
Dying from the suspense.
No you're not L.
And i will probably NEVER meet him. Damn American publishers...
Oh I asked him to put me in the books even if I had to be killed, you know like the brief cameo Kal got and he even pinky sweared.
DEREK IF YOU BREAK THE PROMISE I KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU!!!
Stalker.
Luce, your one of the most famous people on Blogland, Everyone knows you.
I have to go now, night!
I'll still be answering emails, though.
Night, love you all!
*hugs everyone*
* whispers*
Not really, I'm just hoping I'll catch him when he blogspeaks.
*hugs Willow*
Love you too.
LOL Kes!!! xD
Dammit, FLAME THE SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD. *glares*
Bye Willow
*kicks Eden*
You're a little sh*t.
BYE WILLOW!!! *huggles*
Bye Willow!
* holds wherever I got kicked*
That hurt.
Night, Willow! *hugs* E-mail me if you need to talk, ok? <3
Pfffft, I'm not blogfamous. Kallista and Sparky are the most blogfamous Bloglandians! Then there's Flame who's rather well known, along with Nix and Val and probably some other people. XD
But I'm not blogfamous. There's no reason for me to be blogfamous. c:
Adra, that was the idea.
WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER!
That song is AWFUL.
It's okay but not brilliant.
Good, Eden.
And Lucianna, you're off your rocker.
I ain't known.
I love it for the talking part and the video is fun.
I know you. I think.
Actually scratch okay, below average but it gets stuck in your head.
SHUT UP, FLAME. OR I WILL KILL YOU.
I admit Nix and Kal and all are famous Luce but you are too.
You are one of if not the most liked people on Blogland.
Person*
Agreed, Eden
Agreed
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE.
Flame, you do realise I've ALWAYS seen you to be far more well-known than me, right? I've always looked up to you. And if we ever meet I'll look up to you, because YOU'RE SO BLOODY TALL!
Hmmm..... I hafta go, juggling too many internet sites as of now... :/ Sorry!!! LOVE Y'ALL!!! *hugs*
Bye!
Bye Adra.
*laughs*
Oh, Lucianna.
You crack me up.
Gangnam Style!
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/decisions-decisions.html
Check it, please!
*laughs* I'm easy to hate.
So easy to hate.
It's hilarious how many people hate me.
I don't mind it, though.
I'm not that well-liked. If I was one of the older gen I'd probably think more, but I've not even been here for a year.
I love that phrase..
*from all around them* Ayyyyyyy sexeh ladeh *Op Op Op Op OP* Oppa Gangnam Style...
*poofs*
I haven't been here for a year...
Hello? My mouth is so dry and sticky it is disgusting!
Bye, whoever left!
Hullo, Sparky.
*pokes Flame* I'm always going to be your biggest stan;) just thought I'd remind you of thatttt!
Again, Lu, I can go if you want.
But I'd like that link looked at!
PLEASE!
I need help, people!
I think #1
A tie?
Already?
I commented ma'am.
* stands to attention*
Hey Death.
What is up with Gangnam Style? My older sis woke me up because she had it playing so loud my bookcase (which is just a massive pile of books with Skul on top) fell over!
Hi Death!
*rolls eyes*
At ease, Eden.
Permanently.
Thanks for commenting.
Yay * eases self*
#1, most definitely.
Haha!
Eden! *Squeals and tackle hugs him to the ground* *Laughs and pushes hair out of my eyes* We have met this way so many times sir!
How are you Death?
Tremor is back, msd...
Might have to go take some medication. Bleurgh.
*rolls eyes at Death and Eden*
I liked the setting in number two maybe you could do something on that.
That would be something I would read.
Hi Kes!
Flame! I haven't seen you since... Uh... Nightslayer... *Shudders*
*sidles next to Flame*
(quietly) Are they dating?
*is reading Peanuts* God, I love Peanuts.
I know, and it has always ended with me rubbing dirt off my back.
* grins*
Yes, sparky, they are.
MINE!
FIRST!
Not quite
Damn, I even had the cocky words that would have one it.
Sparky, we are on opposite sides of the world!
Kes, I'm am so much better. My nose is still running, my sinuses are still blocked but otherwise, I am fine! Thanks for asking! How are you?
Damnit.
I had a ded. :P
I'll wait til laterrrr. XD
Unfortunately, Sparky, unfortunately.
But, blog dating?
I've blog-dated.
It's..
*looks at Flame*
Interesting.
Exactly
* teleports in a globe and puts pins on the two locations*
hehe.
I dedicate this page to Peanuts. Charles Schultz is a genius. They are almost as funny as Skulduggery, and they are my favorite COMICS. *raises glass*
I also dedicate to the people who were going to see Derek, but now can't because of the stupid riots. We feel for you.(Of course, I mainly do because NJ was going to ask him a question for me, but still)
*Brushes dirt off Eden's back*
So, what's up?
*hugs Kal*
I'm no good in these situations. What's wrong, though?
Hi Kal!
Death, there is something extremely weird going on with my vision, but otherwise I am fine.
Hear! Hear! *Raises diamond*
Nothing really, my little brothers birthday and I got Internet at my house so I won't have to wait till I go to my dads anymore.
*hugs Kallista Pendragon, the most beautiful sister I've ever had, tightly* Now, why would you - my perfect and beautiful older sister - want to be anyone but your gorgeous self? I'd kill to be as amazing as you! You're irreplaceable! <3
What do you mean extremely weird?
Like seeing spots or see blurs?
Kal, what's wrong? You are amazing!
Seeing*
Not as strange as seeing pink elephants with guns that shoot dolphin soaps! I'm hallucinating!
Yeah Kal what's wrong you're awesome, you've been in the books.
eden, like the edges of my vision are completely blurry and useless, and the doctor has no clue what's wrong.
But really, I'm fine. I can still read after all.
Kal, are you okay?
*gives Kal a cupcake*
Feel better? It's a feel better cupcake! It's special!
(quietly talks to Sparky) Please tell me you find Death and Eden as annoying as I do?
Or is it just me?
I suppose if you can still read.
Anyway hallucinating would be fun, as long as its not like tracker jacket hallucinations.
(quietly talks to Flame) Y'know, this doesn't make it any harder for us to see your comment...
And I am seeing pink elephants that shoot dolphin soap! Ah!
*Runs and hides behind a really big rock*
HALLUCINATIONS ARE HORRIBLE.
I HALLUCINATE ALL THE TIME.
IT'S NOT FUN.
(talks quietly back to Kes) I know.
Flame, I would recommend e-mailing me...
Death, maybe it will stop if you close your eyes.
Exactly, but in the spirit of privacy I just read it but don't comment on it.
(Talks quietly to Eden) I can hear them talking about us...
I hallucinate that Flame is like right beside me, mad that he gets killed off someday..
I have to go, bye!
I suppose you're right Luce.
Bye, Kes! *hugs*
I just realised how many Aussies I talk to...My e-mail is full of e-mails and messages from Aussies and a couple of other people;L
Bye Kessie.
* whispers* I know but we have to pretend we didn't hear them.
* winks*
Then I will hear something like a bell and open my eyes and then it shoots me! My little bro thinks it is rolfarious!
Brb!
My throat hurts. D:
E-mail, Flamio.
Bye Kes! *hugs*
*winks at Eden* *whispers* I'll play along for now...
ANOTHER TIE!?
*hugs Lucianna*
Hope you're OK.
How easy it is to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly.
*whispers * okay.
*Runs up a tree* *Taunts* Catch me if you can! *Bounds off*
Back.
*hugs Flame back* I'll be reyt. *smiles* And you'll write a book one day. (':
Maybe a series of books...
Then they can be turned into a film.
And I can become obsessed. ;D
Em, a little bit harder because of the pressure,
Unless of course that was a rhetorical question, in which case I withdraw my comment.
And before anyone says anything, I am not a squirrel!
Is it Sunday in Aus? I don't remember!
Um, Death, if you could just look at this...
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/decisions-decisions.html
I need a tie-breaker.
Yeah, it's Sunday.
I've emailed you, twice, Sparky.
Kallie hasn't commented in 18 minutes...
I'm worried...
Mm...
Not showing up...
#2!!!
Distant, blogging.
*distant*
Catching up on Sparky's blog..
I know, I thought that was good too.

Eden, it's kinda lonely just jump from branch to branch... After taunting you... *Lays back on the trunk with a feet up*
NIX, you're more blogfamous than me!
I'm not blogfamous.

*Sit underneath tree.*
Ohhhh! The meds are kicking in! Woah... Everything tipsy...
*Falls off branch* *Hits the ground and laughs*

Okay then your bloginfamous,

Yay! Go Nix! *Attempts to give him a high 5 and falls over again*

Okay so we have: Kal, Zaf, you Luce, Nix, Val, Sparky.

Wait, Nix, you're part faceless one?
Hey Kessie.
Hi Kes!
*laughs* Nope. I'm not blogfamous.
Blogfamous people tend to be known outside of the blog.
Like Kal, Sparky, Nix and Flame.
They're known by a lot of people.
You're just naming older gens. :P
Adra and Nj are.
Hey Eden!
Derek is blogfamous ;)
Luce, you are Blogfamous!
Yeah but your known from twitter Luce.
Derek is famous-famous. :3
Who knows me?
Definitely Adra. Not sure about NJ. Star Inkbright?
