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.

YOU ASK HIM SO MANY QUESTIONS, HAHAHA. :P
You know what, Zaf? You're Marvelous;)
aww thanks :)
well asking questions is FUUUUN
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, but I daren't ask them because I always think I'm annoying. :3
EIGHTEEN DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY. WHICH MEANS IT'S CHRISTMAS SOON. AND AFTER CHRISTMAS WE GET KOTW NEW PAPERBACK. THEN FIVE DAYS LATER (?) THE TANITH LOW NOVELLA. AND THEN THE LONG WAIT FOR BOOK 8 AND TOUR DATES ARE ANNOUNCED.
and I go to Florida for just over two weeks in the summer. So Rivia might have to scream and fangirl on my behalf if there's a signing she and I can go to:3
Hello?
WILLOWWWWW!
omg...
Derek if you wanna know how bad storm damage on coast is: I went to Spring Lake and Seaside Heights and Toms River, in Seaside Heights the boardwalk is gone the rides are just in the ocean Moby Dick my favourite ride is gone....they interviewed a survivor and she said thats its gone, no pier, no boardwalk, sand galore.
Spring Lake is underwater their boardwalk was just to walk across not like Seaside and its completely ripped off its foundation it looks like its just train tracks left. Homes taken off foundations sand overunning some streets
Toms River: pretty destroyed and the draw bridge is closed that leads into Seaside only people can go out of Seaside nobody can get in
WELL GANGNAM STYLE WAS JUST ON.
I'M SERIOUSLY WORN OUT. D:
never dance to Gangnam Style in heels... It looks easy, but it wears you out!
How's everyone?
over the summer of course, all 3 places i used to go to, but if you can imagine how i walked on the beach there and its gone...all gone. just like that. its hard for me to see pictures thinking it wont be the same ever and my state is nothing compared to this
Lucy, I already did :P
I'm okayish mostly..
I HAVE PENGUIN GLOVES:3

Hello/Happy Halloween!
YouTube adverts -_-

Hey Zaf! *hugs*
How is you?
Aha, I remember a time where YouTube was a blissful advert free place. I reckon YouTube must of lost a load of users, because of it.
*hugs*
yeah they must, i use the mobile one for apple products
My brother used to always say Apple were an evil company and that I should never get one of their products...and then he got an apple mac from his friend.
Me: -__-
There are no more Trick or Treaters knocking, because of the rain. They all came at once, so I was kinda rationing the Celebrations that I was giving out :(
I cant go til Saturday, I guess it gives us time to all get together i dunno if school is cancelled tomorrow but im not gonna be shocked either way
What's it like over in America at the moment?
Has America officially moved Halloween to Saturday or something?
School? I'm on half-term at the moment :D
Well, the parts of the country that werent hit are having normal lives, those of us myself included just are sitting here thinking. You dunno what will come, I have power but it doesnt mean we all do, its cold and people are out sawing trees removing trees, power exoected to come back in about a week, school been closed so far i havent gone in since last Friday. We think the schools have no power but the problem us will buses make it through communites? Nobidy knows

I AM VALKYRIE
Hi Val, sorry sitting here shaking my head, this kinda interesting
Wars of the Star (INK!)
So its been bout an hour the post office has a small fore insude they think its electrical, so the try to get in they cant. My Dad works for a different one and he trying to get his boss who trying to get the right people to either give the fire deoartment a key OR give PERMISSION to break into the bloody building, as it could burn down with all our mail.
Think I haven't been there already, Thrust? :P But I'm honoured you thought of me. :)
The Death Star will be the death of me. XD
Zaf: The hell???
Damn it wheres Panda
Hi!
No ones here.
I'M HERE!
Don't be gone!
How dare you be gone!

Hi SPD!
Grrr... I haven't talked to Flame in forever...
Good news is the lovely post office didnt die xD
So what's the bad news?
Bad news?
Uhm, Panda didnt come on to tell me what Derek said
Oh. Usually when someone says "Well, the news is..."
There's a bad news right after it.
*good in between the and news
Well Derek never said happy halloween....
True.
Also, I was reading the orevious comments, and Derek frolicking in meadows?
*nods*
according to Derek, adults only can frolic in meadows on Wednesdays and Saturdays
brb
Hey guys.
Hi Eden
Hey Zaf.
So how're things.
Good so far despite waiting
Cool,
I'm fine.
Nothing much happpened.
The day was quite boring.
Aaah
I'm back! Heylo, Eden!
I'm seeing what fun things i can search up on my brother's laptop.
It has no sound card in it so that rules youtube out.
Kessie.
Howya?
Daang im just here thinking lol
Great. Or I would be great if my mouth wasn't hurting so much from getting my top braces on. How 'bout you?
Aah braces suck. Im getting mine off eventually
I'm fine,
Getting your braces off must have been sore.
I'm doing java programming, i just got eclipse to say "hello world"
I would be getting them off in less than two years, but they're 8 months behind.
I don't have braces but I'll be getting them next year.
Eden, I WISH I was getting them off. That would be great. But, alas, I was getting them ON.
Have either of you seen Sir Reingington lately?
No and i been on all day. I was hoping Panda would get on...grrrr.
I must have ANSWERS scratch that what did i even ask Derek? Damn this hurricane fried me brain
Nope.
I haven't been on as frequently as used to be.
Zaf, did Derek ever tell you about Scarabs magic discipline?
No. He said he would as soon as he found his notes, assuming he never did find the notes
Yeah, I'd say they're at the bottom of a box or after being put in the bin.
I bet he didn't even look...
*grumbles*
If we discuss major changes to characters and V was informed Zaf will not be a vampire why does the idiot still go ahead?! Ugh....
I got this feeling he didnt which upsets me because i really wanna know. But i doubt ill find out, ever.
I think it makes sense
Zaf's a Necromancer so right away she is disliked, why would i just make her more hated? Ugh....im not that cruel! Yet V just does and doesnt stop and listen
Well, the only way anything ever got done int this world was through persiverance.
who the hell is V?
It's probably none of my business but I have a problem with curiousity.
Im tempted to bug him. Really am...REALLY tempted
The idiot i admin with. I say idiot because i have nothing nice to say right now bout her, she's gonna be death of me
AGGGHHHH! the collage I was just makng got entirely deleted!
For someone who reads SP she's a moron
"It takes only a day to be complete"
No it dont.
*strangles a tree*
okay, its seems something is making people angry.
Cool coincidence.
Coincidences are one of the few things that make this world interesting.
Its the cracks in time.
Btw, I watched the Big Bang(Doctor Who) today. Do you have any idea how many times I cried?
Never ignore a coincidence. Unless you're busy, in which cas always ignore a coincidence.
Okay,
I've only seen about ten epsiodes of Doctor Who at the most.
I am not a fan of vampires especially after Dusk and the Infected yet she wont see common sense....gawd.
Sorry fir ranting
According to Sherlock Holmes there are no coincidences.
Which is true because every event can be logically explained.
I've seen 13.
Oh yeah, Zaf. What do you mean being admin?
Do you mean like a blog or something?
Eden, so if Derek were to suddenly, say, arrange a world summit for tomorrow, that could be logically explained?
Cool.
For a facebook page im sick of my char getting worst end just because Zaf is Grand Mage diesnt mean target her, im not mean to chars i leave that fir Derek
Yes,even though human thought patterns can be very hard to trace ( Derek's being of no exception).
I believe if we were to find out what he was thinking and how he got to that it could easily be explained.
And the logical reason for the world summit is Derek has something to tell the world.
I think Sanguine gonna die :D
stinking double tapping laptop.
Ah, but we would also have to figure out wh HarperCollins was letting it happen. There may have been a reason, but it wouldn't be a logical one.
Zaf, but I LIKE Sanguine. And I like Tanith better as a Remnant. *runs away*
Ah, but considering the cost of hosting a world summit and the fact that no one has that much money burning a hole in their pocket,
it would lead us to believe that the benefit from the world summit would be enough to recoup the cost.
Why arent they letting him in America? Duh, theres no common sense over there. Gawd I have more brains then them, no, Derek does and he has like the mind of a 8 year old
Zaf, I am really lost in regards to what you are saying.
Isn't Australia farther from Ireland than we are?
Where are you, Kes?
And i think it was because there is more of a fanbase over there.
America
No, they just clueless
America.
If he were to come here, or THE REST OF THE BOOKS WERE TO BE PUBLISHED we would be able to develop a freaking fan base.
Zaf, I bet you that if there ever is a movie, it won't be in theatres here.
god I'm getting tired.
Maybe not.
Have any of you ever heard of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?
It can't possibly be good that I get rid of boredom at school by fantasising about meeting him, meeting Skulduggery, or buying more of the books, and that these fantasies can last me for HOURS.
Eden, yeah I've HEARD of it. Haven't seen it though.
I fantasise about having teleportation powers and having paladins chase after me.
( jumper reference)
Ive read the book 5 times and i missed it in cinemas ( it was only out for a week ) i was soo annoyed.
My point in my letter, lets make EFFORT i mean do you expect much of a fanbase if you dont PUBLISH the books? No. They barely advertise them, i mean its "STUPIDITY" written all over. Why cant they see what we see? They need to try. Didnt they send Derek across the UK and kids were like, what is he talking about? Yes. And now look he's famous! Why cant they try with America? Its not a waste of time there are fans and many more who are yet to be recruited! Its effort. They just to damn lazy! They'll send him to Australia and New Zealand but America its like, nooo lets be mean to America. I feel like they think we're worthles, no we arent.
I know.
I havent gotten a letter back yet from them either.
I am going to send a letter to him at some point. Soon. And if I get a reply I will quite likely faint.
Good luck. We sent one in beginning of June its now November
Im gonna go....night! Hope Panda gets on
Bye!
Gtg, bye!
Hello??
Again? Really? again
WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

Hi.

NOOOOOO
I'VE BEEN NEEDING TO DED TO SOMETHING FOR TWO DAYS
*I also give partial ded rights to Nix
I don't ded if I don't get first
It's one of my rules
...Hello?
HI PEOPLE!
I still have black gel-penned veins all up my arms. Couldn't be bothered to clean them off last night. Did my face and neck, though.
Hello, Star! :D
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB!
Never see you anymore! Hi. :)i
HELLO, LUSACTHIO! :)
I am really confused right now!
My mind is giving me so many ideas for my story, that I cannot keep up at all! It's infuriating and so confusing! I'm not even finished rewriting it yet. It could be really different than what I started with. But I know I'm keeping some of my writing.
Oh, and hi. Msd and a little distant.
STAAAAAAARRR!!!! LUCIAAAAAANAAAA!!!
Hi.
LAVENDEEEEERRRR!!
Hi Gab! Long time no blog speak!
Hi L! Hi Star!
Yeah, I've been very busy.. Guess what? I got a PS3!! And Borderlands 2!
Hello, Gab! I've not talked to you in aaaaaaggggeeeesss.
Lavenderrrrrrr! HELLO! C:
Cool, Gab!
No idea what Borderlands is, but I knew you wanted a PS3 for a long time!
Yay... it's a really cool game. But I've been very busy because of the exams and my teachers are pressuring me to get good grades. I already knew I'm going to fail the exams or get really low grades. But I want to try and get good grades by studying.
*is trying to think an idea through*
And it's not working at all. My brain so is tired, I can't think anymore.
Wbd & msd...
Oh, and...
17 MORE DAYS! XD
