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.

*collapses to the ground near a tree*
I. Hate. This. Illness.
I almost collapsed today...
I had to stay off school, again...
Hi Phoenix,
And if any of you are a necromancer where is your power stored?
Illness?
I also got some clever t shirts off the internet.
Elect Baggins for a Better Shire
42 (with mice)
Aperture Labs (no words. just the logo)
Winter is Coming (with Ice and direwolf)
I like the elect Baggins one.
And everybody just shuts up. Lovely.
OH HEY!!! I spoke too soon.
I hate it when that happens... And thanks, Eden.
No problem.
And that was a lot of comments.
What's up with Luce? Luce? What's up? What are you sick with?
Sorry I'm not talking much...
I've not been very talkative recently...
*mutters about being ill*
And yeah... I tend to do that... Talk too much, I mean.
Im a Necromancer yes what do you need from me?
It's okay neither have I, been gone for nearly a week.
What are you ill with?
What is your power stored in.
Hey Zaf. WB.
When the levee breaks... Momma you has got to ru-un...
Anxiety.
They think.
But that's after telling me it was muscular pain and then something else.
They'll end up telling me it's something else again, soon.
I'm already mentally unstable, apparently.
Eurgh.
I here doctors.
I hate hospitals.
I hate medication.
I hate therapists.
I hate councillors.
I hate it all!
My power is stored in a necklace. Pure black skull shaped
Hate*
...
I may suddenly disappear...
I'm really tired...
I got barely any sleep, last night...
Okay and what is your position on necromancer unicorns?
Unicorns??
Uhm...
Yes purple, necromancer like but still unicorns.
Uhm....I would think we'd find that kinda insulting but personally I would just laugh hysterically
Really, hmm * thinks *.
Who is it, * thinks * they use necromancer unicorns as a kind of joke slash proud escape like " " rides off on a necromancer unicorn.
Hmm probably
For anyone who is not part of my Dublin Daes army, there is still time to catch up, the story is coming to an end

Hey em.
EMERALD MELODY GETCHA IRISH BUTT OVER HERE!!!
*tackles*
I'm Irish too. * smiles happily as I dance with leprechauns while picking shamrocks, as St Patrick Irish dances*
Hey Derek!
I was just wondering whether you know anything about the Bangor Literature Festival in regards to needing to book tickets or do you just go on down to it and pay when you're there? or if there are no tickets left?
Thanks! :D
Hey ashyy
Howya
Ashy I would help but, eh kinda bit you know an ocean away xD
Major msd.
I'm too ill to babysit my little brother like I'm supposed to, so my sister is actually helping me out, for once. She is older than me, though, so she should be doing more than me!
What we Europeans like to call a hop, skip and jump away
or across the pond.
Ooh babysitting duty,
I'm to young but in two years I'll have to mind my brothers.
I am the youngest xD both siblings in their 20's im only 14.
I just wonder what happened during the fight Derek leaves off at in Playing with Fire. Its just like, ooooh fight. End of book,
Heeyyaa! :)
I'm great thanks yourselfs?
Stressing out over getting tickets for this or if I even need to! D: I can't go to the one in the middle of Belfast because there's parades and expected riots and whatnot D:
Sad times :(
Y'all doing much? :)
Well if they wrote what happened in the fight, the end wouldn't be the same.
My brothers are 11, 10 and 6 and I'm 12 nearly 13.
Are you pretty or cathy Ashyy?
Sorry that's supposed to be protty.
Im American Ashy so i really dont know what to do. Maybe Derek might read that.
Eden, true. I just wonder xD. Then again THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING!!!
Suppose only what a few months left till Armageddon,
At least I'll be a teenager.
*laughs*
least I'll be 15! Dont gotta worry then
Suppose * hums the song*
Cause every little things gonna be alright.
Ashy...Ashy...Ashy...
From Twitter!?
Oh I'm neither Eden :)
Yes hi Luciana its meee!! haha!
Oh I'm neither Eden :)
Yes hi Luciana its meee!! haha!
O.o a Twitterian!!!
Ashy! *tacklehugs* It's Jordan! Or Robyn. Whatever ya want to call me. C:
Okay so your either atheist or something else,
Katy Taylor isn't cathy or protty.
But anyway Belfast is still dangerous with the riots.
Zaf, us Twitterians are rare to come by. D:
I know there's me, NJ, Gero, Emma, Ashy, Andrew, Joe. E...and idk any others. XD
Awww!
Why is Belfast rioting?! Bloody fools, they should be celebrating the presence of the Golden God
There's lots of religious and political tension.
We learn all about it in school, there was a very bad period in the nineties called the troubles.
Sorry for disappearing.
Aaah i didnt know that. Daaamn i do not wanna be there
Hey willow.
There's two groups,
Unionists: who want to be unified with Britain.
And Nationalists: who want to be unified with Ireland.
Yeah Eden I'm an atheist!
Indeed it is! :/ Does my absolute bap in sometimes :L It annoys me. It really really does.
:) I sent you back a message on twitter in case you didn't realise you got it! :)
They riot because they can't let people just get on with whatever. It would be so much simpler if they let people get on with the parades and such. I mean this one anyway will only happen once every 100 years for gods sake :/ Both sides annoy me because of all the rioting!
Awk! Learning about Northern Ireland is the most boring thing in the world -.- Had to do it for GCSE and it bored the life out of me :/ probably just because I live here though :L
Im shocked they're still letting him go. Its kinda shocking
It was first caused by the treaty that was signed in 1921 or 22 I can't remember.
Michael Collins signed a treaty with the Brittish government that made Ireland free but we had to swear allegiance to the Brittish crown and we had to give up the six Northern counties.
This sparked the civil war with,
Treatiests: who agreed with the treaty. ( Michael Collins side)
And Nationalist: who wanted Ireland free full stop.
( Eamon Develeras side)
I haven't checked my Twitter or my e-mail since replying. D:
I'll check it in the morning.
BUT YOU FOUND WHERE I BASICALLY LIVE. :P YAY FOR YOU! XD
Then after the civil war we have the troubles which were caused by the IRA fighting the Brittish army.
There was acts of terrorism on both sides, like the bombing in Omagh.
But then we had the Good Friday agreement which led to the uneasy peace we have today and in just before the new century we get Mary Robinson, catholic, Belfast born president.
And there you have 20th to early 21st century Northern Irish history.
If you have any questions on Russian, Irish and 19th and 20th century mainland European history just ask.
Hello..?
Aww okie!! :D Haha! I used to come on here and look through peoples comments but was always too scared to actually say something! :L D:

OMG Can I sing a song? :D
There was a man who lived in leeds,
He filled his garden full of seeds.
And when those seeds began to grow,
It was like a garden filled with snow.
But when the snow began to melt,
It was like a ship without a belt.
And when the ship began to sail,
It was like a bird without a tail.
And when the bird began to fly,
It was like an Eagle in the sky.
And when the sky began to roar,
It was like a lion at my door.
And when the door began to crack,
It was like a pen knife in my back.
And when my back began to bleed,
I was dead,dead,dead indeed!
Gtg, sorry!!!
I'm going to leave now.
Bye!
Bye Sparky! OMG INK I FORGOT TO SAY HI TO YOU. DARN. BYE!
*claps*
Nice song Ariana :)
It feels so good to be out of those shoes!
Hi Willow! :)
Thanks! :)

I rather not face Elder Miranda's wrath. Yeah we kinda wrote a short fan fiction today involving blood, gore, and uhm...keep it at, I think I scared myself
That's impressive. Did anyone's ears get cut off by any chance?
No but I nearly took off Elder Serpina's ears in gym
Salright. I just wanted to see your reactions to the...cuteness. :)
Lovin this new emoji!

How do you do that?
Hey Death!
Hey, isn't it funny that you guys are friends with Death?
Omg thats riiiight NJ gonna give Derek something for me tomorrow.
Aaah just you wait Derek, just you waitl never underestimate Ameriminions. We speak our minds and dont give (that may be the Irish in me)
Hey Kes!
Yay for replies! I love them. I find it rude if one does not reply. IT'S RUDE, MATE!
If there was a lack of Meriminions I would miss them. :D
Zaf, oh yeah he's asking a question for me too!
Eve, however, there is not a lack of Ameriminions.
Kessie - there is an app called Appzilla. In those apps there are heaps of apps. Find the Emoji app and that will enable emoji. Then you go to your keyboard settings and add a language. Emoji will be a language. :)
She*
love NJ. I told her that she needs to tell Derek to ANSWER us and not hide in his little uhm....dreamland?
So I have no reason to miss them, and all the more reason to appreciate their presence within Blogland. :)
Eve, is it free?
Yup, it's free :D
See Eve, we are growing. The Ameriminions are just growing. I am like so good at litterally forcing peopke to read SP and they instantly fall in love
I couldn't convince ANYONE until like a few weeks ago. But now we are multiplying!
I'm cold and sick and I'm whining!
Okay, I gotta go! Bye!

You are indeed. I'll let you decide which of those statements I'm agreeing to.
