Right, well, SOMEBODY at Harper Collins messed up, and I am NOT a happy writer. But, for those of you who may have heard, yes, it is true, you are getting a Tanith Low novella coming you way early in 2013 so, um...
SURPRISE!
Grrrrr.
And before you get carried away with what it might be about or who might be in it, the synopsis provided was an early one, before I'd actually started the damn thing. Biggest change? Ghastly ain't in it. Probably.
So what IS it about, you ask?
It's about God-Killer weapons. Four of them, scattered around the world. Four weapons that could hurt- even kill- Darquesse whenever she arrives. Tanith, being thoroughly devoted to dear Darquesse, does not want these weapons falling into enemy hands. So she recruits a gang of misfits and villains and off she goes to snatch them before the good guys come calling.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stomp away and find someone to beat up...
EDIT
Also, to all my east coast Ameriminions, you better stay safe during this storm and all these power outages. That is an ORDER.

(Am not Kas!)
Jai is amazing yes!!!! :3
Darn it, Sil! Lucky! I've never gotten the last comment yet!
And as my comment couldn't post there, I was saying my tomorrow is in a few more minutes. But you'll have to wait a few more hours.
(JAI IS NOT AMAZING
Damn it's gonna be cold tonight...hmmm.
That's good and bad..)
(@Lavender that's fine. -huggles- NOW SLEEP)
So is it snowing for you, Sil???
And did we leave Kal, Soph, and Rhos behind?
Meeeeeeeeh
I'm waiting for your reply! Haha!
Jai, you are bloody amazing!!!!!!
*growls*
(I don't think it's snowing.. I can see what LOOKS like sky.)
(I am not amazing nor bloody.)
*pouts that Sil replied so soon*
*glares at wifi for being slow ONLY in that moment*
Fine, I'll go to sleep.
*hugs Tia and Sil*
Good night guys!
*leaves cookies for the others who've yet to come to this post*
Good night, Hope!
I look up to you, Jai.
Distant.
That's okay, Kal! Glad to see you here!
*hugs her too*
Good night!
(-laughs-
Goodnight Lavender.
- hugs Kallie- so kind of you to have gifted us with your beauty and your grace, cousin.)
(You look UP to me?
No one looks up to me.
Mainly cause I'm tiny.
And it isn't physically possible.
But also cause I'm not someone to look up to..)
(Unworthy? You are not unworthy cousin)
(-bows back-
And its a great honour that you too acknowledge me.)
(Farewell cousin! - hugs and waves-)
(Bye, Kal!)
*tacklehugs Royal Sil* :3
You're totally awesome!
ERMAGERD IT'S FRIDAY HAPPY FRIDAY SILLY MERRY CHRISTMAS SIL :3
(AHH!
- hugs awesome Whichever-one-just-tackled-her-
Am not!)
Why are love hearts drawn the way they are? ♡
(It was based of the shape of a woman's behind when they bend over I believe.)
I would also like to say that I will no longer be marrying anyone in exchange for ebooks.
You've had your chance.
(Theories on the origin of a love heart. May not be appropriate for younger readers.)
(Hello!)
Inappropriate? You don't say!
(Swans :D))
Hi, Chi! :)
How are you?
(Msd, dad's birthday.)
(Hey Gem! -huggles-
@Kas only a LITTLE inappropriate ;p)
(I'm fine Tia, great actually.
How are you?
Hey Sil)
(-huggles gem more- I'm glad you're great!)
(*hugs Sil* Yeah, me too ^.^ Even though things with Struan are difficult right now, I'm doing my best.)
(Thats all you can do sometimes. I'm sure it'll work itself out :)
(He starts at me sometimes...not as much recently. the other day our friend zoe was fighting with our friend Thomas, pushing each other. Zoe said that she wouldn't want to punch Struan cause he would punch her back. Struan laughed and said he would. Just to test it out I punched him lightly on the arm and he punched Thomas xD I hit him lightly again and he hit Thomas across the stomach as Thomas was completely unaware and he made such a weird noise, like a groan. It was so funny... But the fact that he would punch one of his best friends and not me...does that mean that he likes me more than he says he does or is it just cause he doesn't know me that well yet? or maybe he was lying and wouldn't hit zoe...I think he would though. As a joke.)
(I don't know. Understanding boys is hard..you could just, you know, ASK. Or ask Thomas. Or Zoe. Or ask him to prom?)
(I can't go to prom with him... He's in the year below me. I have no one in my year to go to prom with. I sit with 5th years at lunch and interval. All day basically. I even sit next to Struan on the bus. But I suppose I will ask him to the Christmas dance on Monday...Or text him, but that's a little wimpy.)
(No texting! Face to face words. Text is wimp and means they can say 'I didn't get Text.' Girl ask boy and boy respond. Voila. Couple start maybe.)
(The last two times I spoke to him face-to-face it didn't really work out...)
("My mother was an oyster, and I'm the pearl.")
(What do you mean it didn't work out?)
(The first time, I told him I liked him, 4 weeks ago. He just said "Ok" Last Wednesday I tried to ask him if he liked me back all day, but I couldn't do it. So as the bell went for the end of lunch, Heather shouted him over and said "She has to ask you something" He said "Alright" And walked back over, looking all serious...He's never looked like that...Then craig came over and talked to him. I just stood there, I couldn't even look at him. Then craig left and it was just me and him. I turned to face him and laughed awkwardly, bright red. "I'm sorry...um...I just wanted to ask if...you liked me back or not because I kinda need to know..."
"I like you just fine...but only as a friend"
He apologised and I couldn't look at him, I said it's fine and walked away. On the bus home I tried to act like everything was fine and we were just friends but...I can't.)
(Oh...I'm sorry..)
(Which is why I don't exactly want to ask him face-to-face because he'll probs reject me. I don't even know if he's going to the Christmas dance, I asked him this morning and he says he doesn't know.)
(Oh.
Ah.
That...is a predicament.)
(Do you know why I was so upset last weekend now? That's one of the reasons. Then John and Adam. And idiots at my birthday thing. *sighs*)
(-hugs tight- boys. Boys and idiots. Most stressful things in life.)
(Yup...thanks Jaimie...i'll ask him on Monday if he'll go to the dance with me. If not it doesn't matter. I'll look amazing. It'll matter if he doesn't go cause I'm getting dressed up for him, but if he goes then i'll look amazing and he'll wish he went with me *Huffs* Ok, no, that's just what I hope. It won't happen... i'll be sitting in the corner the whole night not talking to anyone or dancing.
(Hey, dance even if he's not there. -laughs- you could always have Adam crash the party. xD)
(He can't come... *sulks*)
(Why not? Still grounded?)
(No, he's ungrounded on Monday. It's just a school night and he has a tutor that night. And his parents probs wouldn't let him come all the way to Paisley)
(Good point..:( )
(At least I danced with him at the Halloween dance... He looked...so fucking hot in that suit and tie...And he made a mask by hand...He attempted to copy my dance moves and failed. Which was hilarious. Just me and him... *sighs and throws herself into her pillow*)
(-sits next to her- Aww. Big sis all lustful for love. -grins:-)
STAR'S BLUE HAND
I figured out something.
I want to escape my life. Completely.
That's why I'm here. I can't even face my life so every day I try to spend as much time as possible here.
:S
(He brought a fucking whip with him and had it attatched to his trousers xD one day on the bus last year he said he liked pain and my god, I couldn't stop thinking of him in chains omfg xD
This is Struan btw, not Adam. Although that would also be an amazing sight.)
(Hello.)
(Hey, Fabi.)
(Tia...I'm the same. I look forward to getting away from everything on here cause we can be anyone and anything we want...
OMG IT'S QUIZ NIGHT TONIGHT. I NEED TO FIND SOME QUIZES.)
(Oh God xD Gem! -shakes head- you and your fetishes.)
(Hey Fabi, Sophia.)
(Hey Soph!)
(Hello Chione and Silente.
*hugs Silente tightly* Would you like to continue with the roleplay?)
(Yes I would Soph -hugs tightly back- where were we?)
(It's not my fault! he said he liked pain! wtf was I meant to think? he's fucking gorgeous... And hey, it was him that brought the whip. Collette stole it and gave it to our friends that are going out, Ashley and Adam (not xan) And Ashley burst out laughing and gave it to adam then adam just kinda stared at it and then gave it back to struan xD)
(Bethany and Silente had returned to Blogland.)
(Jaimie, want to continue ours or...?)
(TIA! WTF! Struan actually isn't like that at all! he's so shy! he's hiding his feelings from me... unless he really doesn't like me at all...which I'm starting to believe...)
(Suuuure Gem ;) and yes I would Gem.)
- hugs Beth tightly-
Bethany: *hugs her tightly back* I am sorry.
(Sil, you start, I think you were just about to try changing)
It's fine..I shouldn't have said what I said..
Sorry.
(okay)
Annabelle: could you..reactivate your bracelet please?
*raises hand*
I agree on the importance of condoms. Not only as a contraceptive but also in the prevention of disease, especially in third world countries where it is easily spread and condoms are difficult to obtain.
*nods*
*leaves again*
*Sighs* Alright.
*Presses a button on her bracelet and a dress appears over her body to look like she's wearing clothes*
Now try
(Hi/bye Matex-sama...)
Hi/Bye Chi-Sama! *hugs*
Annabelle : thank you..-closes her eyes, trying to push all thoughts from her mind one by one-
*Leans against the cage and watches carefully*
Sirens are calling,
All's fair in love and war,
And words like bombs are falling;
Down, down, down, down.
*runs away singing loudly*
Bethany: You shouldn't... But I shouldn't have acted like I did.
It's fine..
-cuddles Beth-
I'm glad you didn't get hurt
Annabelle: -thinks about what it's like to be a wolf, filling her mind, whimpering slightly-
Bethany: *cuddles her back* And I am glad I healed you when you were hurt.
Yeah..
Sorry about that. Drowsy..
Bethany: What was the matter?
*Just watches silently*
(If you guys can see this...this is a picture from the Halloween dance. The one in the middle is Ross, he's a prick. The one on the right is John (not Blake) And then, the one on the left...Struan.)
(-cant see anything chi?-)
I ran out of energy..
Annabelle: -makes an irritated noise- this isn't WORKING
Bethany: That isn't like you...
I'm sorry.
-sighs-
I'm sorry..
Bethany: *kisses her gently* Why did you run out of energy?
Hmm...What's on your mind? *sits down next to the cage*
(Jaimie, you have facebook?)
-kisses her gently back-
After last night...well when I shed blood I loose energy...the same can be said when I use sigils.
Bethany: Liliana made you weaker by... doing what she did?
(Yes I have Facebook.)
Annabelle: how stupid being half naked in a cage in front of a stranger is
A little yeah..
Bethany: *sighs* I didn't know... I'm sorry.
Its fine
-smiles-
Energy comes and goes.
(Food!)
Then what am I meant to do?
(Add me on fb.)
Bethany: I suppose it does. *smiles and kisses her gently again*
Ember: *appears in a flash of fire in the clearing*
(Back. What's your name on it Gemma?)
Annabelle: I don't know! -sighs-
-kisses her gently back, making a slightly irritated noise at the interruption-
(Gemma Verlaque)
(Friend request sent.)
Bethany: Shh... It's okay. *kisses her neck gently*
- sighs and relaxes against Beth-
Bethany: She will most likely be using this place as somewhere to recover before she moves to another realm. She will not be here for us.
Okay..so long as she doesn't cause problems...or attract unwanted attention...
-yawns-
*is here*
*stressed*
Uni or no uni?
:S
Ember: *the ground starts to shake as she nears the volcano*
Bethany: I... doubt that is going to happen.
(Uni Kas!)
-frowns-
Why is the ground shaking?
Bethany: I do not know... Should we go and see?
Uni is good, but only if you want to be there.
Probably.. could I have a little drink first? Then we can both fly..
Bethany: *tilts her head to the side, smiling*
-smiles back-
Thanks..
-gently bites into her neck, holding her close-up
(I will be back soon.)
(Okay...
-looks around at empty blogland-
Oh..)
*is thinking about staying....*
*doesn't know*
(I don't want to be there. PArents...)
(-hugs Kas and Rhos-
Fwiendssssss.)
(I'm currently stalking people's facebook pages. Mainly Struan's. Then Thomas' to see Struan too >.< I'm obsessed...)
(Oh God Gem xD stalker!)
*hugs Sil*
Kinda worried Gem, but whatever bakes your goat....)
("Whatever bakes your goat"
..the Welsh have weird terms..)
I am pretty sure that I saw a ton of your facebook pages during Theatre of Shadows but I didn't actually click on any of them :/ Oh well.
*tacklehugs Sil* c:

(*likes history*
*can get a history course*
Wbd maybe :/)
(-huggles Kas- if you don't want uni, don't uni.)
Sil its not a welsh term, its one of my own invention,
I combined whatever grates your goat with whatever bakes your potato and got whatever bakes your goat
(*hasn't heard of any of them before*)
(I am back.)
Bethany: *wraps her arms around her*
(Welcome back!)
- smiles, only taking a bit more blood before moving back slightly and licking her lips-
Thanks..
Wow...... You can tell I've been around longer than you Sil......
Its just a thing I've picked up over my many years (the sayings)
(@Garr I've heard 'whatever floats your boat')
(there we go, there's one of them)
Bethany: Is that better?
(Its uses a lot)
-nods-
For now..
-smiles-
Anyway, let's go find what's causing an earth quake.
Sil, I was just about to say 'whatever floats your boat' ;)
*grumbles at Blogland Police for discriminating against the robots*
Bethany: Yes, let's. *unfolds her wings and takes off*
-takes off behind Beth-
And let's pray nothing bad happens!
Bethany: *starts flying towards the volcano*
Ember: *is stood at the top of the volcano, looking into the crater, her arms extended with her hair alight, magma rising and falling*
-flies after Beth, squinting at the volcano-
Is that...holy shot!
Bethany: It is... *lands on the volcano* Ember, what are you doing?
Bump.
Last bump.
(-pokes Kas-)
-lands next to Beth, watching-
Yeah...what ARE you doing?
(Now ded.
*huggles Sil happily*)
Ember: Checking if the volcano is active. Is that a problem?
(Darn..)
um.. why?
Damn my laziness.... I need to ded before tomorrow..... (I have a good one lined up (well its good for me anyway....) )
(Hey Kallie!)
(-bows before queen Kallista- Cousin.)
Hello Kalli *hugs*
I'm ok thank you, how be you?
(I'm good...plotting.)
(Just curios, what are you plotting about Sil?)
(@Kas talk with parents..)
Sounds nice Kalli, I've never eaten peanut butter before..... )
(**Rhos ^^)
Ember: Because I am interested in whether the magma will burn me.
Um... Yes it probably will..
Ember: Only one way to find out. *jumps into the bubbling magma*
Bethany: Ember!
(I see Sil, fair doo's and have fun / good luck )
Thank you for the good description of peanut butter, Kalli *still isn't going to eat it* )
Ember!
- flies after her, grabbing Embers arm and flying out, crying out at the burning magma-
Ember: *sighs, completely unharmed despite the magma dripping off her* That hardly went to plan.
Bethany: *moves to Silente, holding her hand over her burns, healing them*
(I will be back soon.)
-whimpers, swiping away any magma still on her with watery eyes before hugging Beth tight-
Yup, luckily I'm not ) (allergic to peanuts)
(We need to make dedications a character.
Deddy?
:/
I am probably not insane. I'm sure the woman who had me evaluated did not falsify the report out of pity.)
(Rhos don't worry, i'll stalk yours too.)
(Hmmm..
Dedication...
Dedication...
Oh I have an idea!
Okay, so..
*chops dedication up into itty bitty pieces*
*hands out the pieces*
Everyone gets to ded..)
(I am back.)
Bethany: *hugs her tightly back*
Ember: Why could you not just let me dive in, you know, properly?
(Welcome back Soph!)
You could've died..
Thank you Gem *doesn't know if I should be worried or honoured?*
Both. *grins evily*
(I'd stalk you guys but yeah, I don't want to freak any of you guys out. And I'm pretty happy where I am, so...
ALSO I HAVE 3 EBOOKS TO READ!!!!)
Ember: And? Why the hell do you care?
Cause you don't deserve to die!
I ded to SilTA/Jai, who is awesome, and Sophia, who is awesome, and Rhos, who is awesome, and Kal, who is awesome, and Gemma, who is awesome.
°W°
Great *rolls eyes* well at least it gives me a good reason to use my Facebook, Gem )
Aww, thank you Tia.
Ember: I entirely disagree.
Of course. Everyone put up more pictures so I can stalk you *Eyes glow* Hehehehehe...
Jaimie, don't put up more pictures. It took forever to go through all of yours. But you're adorable...
*is scared of even sharing his facebook*
(I do have many pictures..
I AM NOT. ADORABLE.)
Well too bad.
Tia, what's your given name? ^.^
Hear hear (to most of it,
Tia I'm not awesome and no one is allowed to argue the point )
(@Chi read my previous message :/)
Ember: Who the hell are you to tell me what to do with my own life?
(@Rhos Nah, you're a pretty cool guy.
Gemma, I am scared of Blogland. I'm ok with the anonymity of Twitter, but hey, I am SCARED of having a Skype conversation with most people here. I am not giving up my Facebook. I'm sorry. I don't mean to pick on you.
*or my name. :c
I'm a nosy vampire who is telling you NOT TO KILL YOURSELF.
Ember: It isn't up to you!
Well it's better being up to me than to yoi at the moment! I won't let you die..
Kas, I'm not a pretty cool guy....
I'm just me nothing more nothing less.
And I'm going to disappear now for curry (NOM NOM NOM!)
Ember: Magma can't kill me anyway, it seems.
