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.

See what I mean?
Good for you, Gab. I hope you get good grades! :)
LAVENDERRRRRRRRRR!
I'm sure you'll get the ideas in order eventually. :)
17 more days till what?
Thanks Lavender! So, whats happening here in Blogland?
Thanks Star. :) I hope so.
I haven't been on much, so don't know much. Got in trouble, so I'm not really supposed to be here anymore, but I come anyway.
Ummm . . .
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BLOGLAND?
Only sometimes though, when I can.
17 DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY. :3
what's happening in Blogland? Hmm... Everybody died. *nods*
*thought pops up*
HALLOWEEN!
Okay, a little late for Halloween... Isn't it?
Yay! Happy very early birthday, L!
Sometimes I try to go on. But I leave anyway. I'm not good story writer.. I just come here to chat. And read some stories.
I hope you don't get into trouble, Lavender.
Hahaha. Everybody died? Good thing I wasn't here when that happened.
Advance Happy Birthday L!
No one minds if you're a good story writer or not. Chatting's always nice. :)
Yeah... Me too.
Haha, thanks, Lav. :)
WELL, NOT EVERYBODY DIED. Star died, though. :P
And everybody is really distant.
And... Uhm... Sparky is amazingly awesome and anyone that says otherwise is an idiot. :)
Yeah, not much has been happening in Blogland...
I DIED!!! IN ZATH'S STORY!!!
I found it absolutely hilarious. But yeah.
PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE STALKING OUR CONVO AND NOT COMMENTING, THEN COME OUT COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!
Hmm.. Haha. My story is still in Chapter One. I don't have anymore will to write a Chapter 2..
HELLO :P
Hey Flame!
Wait, you died in BFB? How much did I miss?
I can never read the stories on your blogs anymore, cause it'll take too long, but I wish I could! Lynxia must have written so much! Last I heard, she was writing at least four stories! I bet she finished some, if not all.
And I heard of Dublin Daes, and that it's finished, but never had the chance to read it.
HI FLAME!
Hi Flame!
*looks outside*
Ah, shoot! Be right back!
Thanks, Gab.
I'm really excited about the SP books I'll get. XD THEY BETTER GIVE ME MY SP BOOKS FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND NOT FOR XMAS! (:
Hello, Flame.
Brb, I need to get some breakfast, if I don't I get yelled at. :P
Hmm. I deleted my blog. The one with the stories in it.
I have to go. My brother's gonna use the laptop. Might be back.. bye!
Back!
It's freezing cold outside! My teeth were chattering before I even went out!
Wbd.
FOURS GAB! :(
Lav - I died in chapter eight. Everybody's been writing really slowly, don't worry. You haven't missed much.
Really? Oh. I hope, if I ever get back on my computer, that I'll be able to catch up on everyone's stories.
You won't have much catching up to do with mine. :(
*frowns at arms* This pen is annoying me now.
It's okay, Star. You know, I'm probably the slowest to write and post. :P I've got nuttin to show. Except for a Halloween story I posted two days ago. Have you read it?
Hm?!
Backkk. (:
And I'm confuddled... :P
Halloween was fun.
Hey Nix. :) Where were you? ;P I noticed you disappeared earlier.
Wb, L!
I didn't celebrate Halloween this year. It was okay though. :)
Hey Nixie nd Lucey and Stario and Lav :3
HEYLO, NIX.
I READ IT, Lavender! Spooky. :)
Stario, just so you knowio, for about 4 hours I'm right here, just not commenting every day
Halloween was IMMENSLEY fun. :)
And I bet I'll still be eating my Halloween sweets in January. :P I do like saving things, though . . .
Hello, Nix! :)
Lucey? With an e? :s
I posted the prologue of my Halloween story, but that's about it
http://readthismortals.blogspot.com.au/
Hi again, Flame. :)
I made the ending nice though. I'm the happy ending kind of girl. ;P
Nix, will you read the origin chapter one? Or have you already?
http://flamephoenixs.blogspot.ie/2012/10/the-origin-chapter-one-rewritten-magic.html?m=0#comment-form
Maybe read it, but I'll check
I ONLY GOT A SMALL BAG OF SWEEETS.
THE PEOPLE I WEENT WITH GOT BAGS OF STUFF.
Sorry, Nix, can't read it on my iPod. Not because it doesn't work, but because I don't want to use Safari to talk to you guys. It holds history and I don't want to keep deleting it all the time. I'm using google + actually.
THAT SUCKS, FLAME.
Maybe their costumes were better?
*glares* ANOTHER STALKER TO ADD TO THE PILE. I bet I have people stalker my pile as well. Maybe I should install guards.
...
*fours hours later* I'M BACK! My guards seem to be guarding. I'm paying them in marshwaffles. Hey - is that one of my guards in the forest there? OI, GUARD!
Guard: THE BEETLE! THE BEETLE RAN AWAY WITH THE DIPPERONE AND NOW THE ONION IS GREEN!
Me: *frowns* Whoops. Looks like my guard needs rewiring. *cuts open guard's head and fiddles about with the wires* Never mind, at least the other guard is . . .
Other guard: *screams and runs into tree* THE PORCUPINES ARE AFTER ME!
Me: These guards are crap. I should get a refund. Never mind, at least my other other guard is . . . WAIT, I DON'T HAVE AN OTHER OTHER GUARD!
*runs to pile and gazes in dismay at it* IT'S ALL BEEN EATEN! NOOOOOOO!
I've never been trick or treating :3
Last night I spent the night designing things, though. It was very fun. :) I need to decide my favourite designs, though... :D
I need quotes from DD, MC, DB, TEOTW and KotW. ^^
We were out for an hour and a half, which means we covered quite a lot of the village, and we didn't fill BAGS each! I know in some streets there was, like, NOBODY doing it, but still.
*muses* I suppose if you took a large handfull at every house you'd get bags . . .
*Looks at guard comment*
What's that about, Star? Did I miss something...?
I didn't even get KOTW yet...
No one going to read the link I put up? Okay
Brb! I need to find my folders... And those vocabulary booklets I need to learn... :)
You know what Nix, I will. Even if I have to use safari.
Bbs. If I know anything about the google + app, it always refreshes itself if you leave...
*goes to read Nix's story*
No, you don't have to, I know you can't Lav
They had longer.
I was at a book signing. Joined them later..
msd
Sorry, Nix! I'm really busy trying to learn these booklets of vocabulary... And then I have a presentation to learn... Then Spanish paragraphs to write. Then Physics homework to spend at minimum of three hours doing.... Stupid Physics teacher... :/
No, Lavender, you didn't miss anything. Just, uh, me being crazy. I was a superhero the other day. :) 'Twas really fun. But then, of course, the shelves were getting painted and bang went the wi-fi. :(
I read it!
I saw Darren Shan yesterday.
I got three books, too.
And a signed poster.
Well, that took ten minutes.
I did anyway and commented. Noticed you had more posts. Wish I could read them too, but... yeah. I will when I can.
Cool, Flame. I wonder how the signing went, it being Halloween and all. Did people come in costumes?
The Halloween story does sound like it's gonna be horrory. :)
The A Strange Killer one is really interesting. I'n trying to piece all of what's happening together in my mind. How would his eyes have gone cloudy, though? :/
The Hereos of a Super Variety is starting to reach the actiony bit. :) Want to know what happens next. Wouldn't the pavement have cracked though? Or am I getting it wrong?
Hey people
Yeah. OF COURSE I FORGOT.
Was going to get my face painted there. This guy was really good at it. A girl got in before and then I didn't get a chance as I had to get my books signed.
Darren told all about how ideas came about and how to actually make a story from them.
And I forgot Stolen. :P Gah.
Also really intriguing. Yay for finishing it. It wouldn't have been as good without the blue boy part. It added the need-to-hurry-up-and-get-out-of-here urgency.
They're all excellant. So yay.
Sarlia and Lav: http://flamephoenixs.blogspot.ie/2012/10/the-origin-chapter-one-rewritten-magic.html?m=0#comment-form
Could you read? :)
Sounds AWESOME, Flame. :)
Hi Sarlia!
Cool, Flame. Wish I could get some advice from him about that. My ideas are running everywhere.
Sorry, dinner's ready. I gotta go.
I'll see if I can come on later! Hopefully...
Bye!
Hi Sarlia!
*laughs* Chapter Six of Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony is called 'Dwarf walks into a bar.'
FOURS LAVENDER! :(
Flame I'll have a look
...
I'm going, now.
I have to revise...
And finish this project...
And I'm really annoyed about yesterday... :/ Some people in this world are horrible...
Then I might design things to cheer me up a little... Idk.
Talk to you guys later... Bye.
Bye Luce!
*hugs*
And Star, dinner?! It's 10 in the morning...
FOURS LUSCATH! :(
Bye Luce!
*hugs*
And Star, dinner?! It's 10 in the morning...
Good morning psychopaths!!!
Yeah that's ok then... everyone fecks off when I arrive.
I take the hint...
Hilo people. I am writing so I may be vague. Vaguely awesome. Eat the marshwaffles, worship the marshwaffles, make human sacrifices to the marshwaffles.
OPPAN GANGNAM STYLE
Oppa*
Shush. Typo.
I can't think.
I don't like this.
I can't learn a single word of this French speaking... And I don't even know any of this vocabulary.
I might just try to do this work later... The later in the day it gets, the better I can think... Usually.
So...hello?
Hi L!
Actually, Gab, it is oppan.
Oppan means oppa is. Oppa is what a female calls an older male in South Korea. :)
Oh. Sorry.
Sorry.
When I'm in pain, I am incredibly pedantic.
Yay! I was RIGHT!
Hi Lucianna!
WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER!
Okay.. Why are you in pain...
Hello, Flame.
You seem so cheerful...
I'm going for a shower.
Might bb.
Okay..
I am. I think.
How do you write a synopsis??
Um...
For what?
Synopsis?
I know how to write them... But I don't know how to explain how to write them...
I'm good at that, though...
I know so much, but I can't put it into words...
It's like with maths. Nobody understands how my mind works... But I get the answers...
I have a strange mind...
I don't like it...
For my submission email to a publishing company...
For Dublin Daes?
I should read it... Then I'd be more useful...
But I'm too busy...
I can't get lower than an A.
They don't want that.
I need to have perfect grades. And I need to be the perfect student. Because that's what they want...
Basically it's like the outline of the book.
Like that thing you used to have on the blog about Dublin being magical..
It's so annoying...
I can write a whole bloody novel but ask me to write a synopsis and it goes over my head!
What company you sending it to?
What company you sending it to?
Wait, don't you need an agent?
I'm just sending it to a handful of ones, I found a list of them for Ireland so it's all hell for leather...
Oh right.
I got ZOM-B signed yesterday. With a poster.
And I also got Bzrk and TFIOS
Well it's a list of agents and companies so it's all game...
I'm just trying to see how far I can get...
Ugh Niamh is going out with Dean again.
Brb..
Em will you read the origin on my blog? Please :)
Sorry I disappeared. Was clearing out my cupboards with my mum.
I will... I shall read it later on, if not definitely tomorrow morning!!
I promise Flame.
*eyes Em suspiciously*
You said that LAST time :D
I suppose I should write soon.
Meh.
The Blackened Heart.
Nice name for a chapter...
'Tis.
EMMMMMMMM, what's the link for DD?
I'll read it.
As long as I can read MC at the same time...I'm searching for quotes, still. :3
AND I HAVE THESE STUPID EXAMS TO REVISE FOR! *throws French folder* Bleurgh. TOO MUCH TO LEARN.
and I have two other folders full of French. :(
I NEED TO CHOOSE ADMINS FOR MY HG PAGEEEEEEEE D:
http://www.facebook.com/EmbraceYourInnerMockingjay?ref=stream
If you've not liked it, PLEASE GO LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH;3
I wanna be admin!
I think I pinned the admin competition to the top of the page...Idk. :)
Bbs. Lunch.
Bye, Star! :)
Ugh. I am so mad at myself right now and the only person I can think of to blame is me.
Hello, Eve!
Why're you mad at yourself? :(
Imma go! Bye!
Bye, Flame.
Because I leave everything to the last minute! There's a school disco tomorrow night and i dont have the skirt I wanted to wear and I don't have time to get it! I'll just have to wear jeans. >:(
Hehe. You probably thought I'd done something really terrible. :P
I always think the worst, then it's a pleasant surprise when it's not as bad as you first thought. ^.^
Bye Phoenix!
Well, when you put it that way. :)
Anyway, I think you'll look stunning either way! :)
Flattery does not do a girl any good, Miss Luciana.
:P
But thank you. This is why I choose to vent in Blogland. If I told one my friends any of this, she'd just yell "Why didn't you get it SOONER?" She's a lot like my mum. I'll have to tell her that one day.
How are you, Luce?
(Oh, but msd :/)
*smiles* Flattery does a girl much good, my dear.
S'ok. (:
BLOGLAND IS AWESOMEEE. C:
With three Es. *nods*
I'm...I don't know, actually.
Annoyed because there's a page that's been hacked and I know some of the admins from it... :/
BUT HAPPY FOR NO APPARENT REASON :D
How're you, Eve?
And that's ok! You need to make sure you get enough sleep! :3
*wanders back in*
. . . Hello???
HELLO, STAR! :D
Sorry, I was planning a competition for my SP page... :D
Hi people of the mystical void of magical comments.
Anyone here?
Oh, I get the message. Everyone ignores my arrival its like your all hiding in cupboards and behind chairs, hoping I wont notice! Well I can take a hint. Good day. *picks up a top hat and and leaves*
SORRY!
I'm planning competitions. :3
I'm doing homework.
I was kiddin, I have to go now anyway. :)
:( FOURS SARLIA!
Hello...? Anybody there...?
I guess I'll just be a larry then :(
IENIIIIIIIIIIIII! *hugs*
has anyone heard from Panda Bear?
No, sorry, Zaf. :(
HELLO!
Luciana! *hugs*
Zaf! *hugs*
How are you two?
What are your favourite quotes from Mortal Coil?
I'm good! Just searching for MC quotes! ^^
"Do you know what that makes me? That makes me better then you."
Doctor Nye
Skulduggery: You're quite chatty now that I've got to know you.
Tesseract: I have a cat, you know. Back home.
Skulduggery: I know. You had cat hair on your lapel the day you killed Davina Marr.
Tesseract: You don't miss much, do you? She doesn't have a name. She is just Cat. She curls up on my chest whenever I sit down, and goes to sleep. I hope she doesn't miss me. I'm going to miss her.
SKULDUGGERY IS SHERLOCK. *nods*
Nice :)
Um...possibly the bit where Skulduggery is insulting Valkyrie, I remember being in hysterics the first time I read that...and then bit about Valkyrie wanting a stick for Christmas...and the whole meeting where Skulduggery failed to have a present and Valkyrie got him a hairbrush..
that was sad i felt bad for Tesseract a bit...slightly....i dont have much feelings for certain characters but...i did feel sorry for him
Valkyrie: I want a stick.
I actually ship Tanith/Val so much, right now. omg, w h y .
I blame...Uhm...Skype. *nods*
I...dont wanna know
*laughs*
This is why I should never talk to Aussies.
I was reading MC and realised that the damned Aussie was right - Valith is actually incredibly plausible.
AAAAAHHHHH
*dies*
its worse then the baguette! worse...worse...worse
I HAD A NIGHTMARE THAT SKULDUGGERY WAS CHASING ME WIH A BAGUETTE D:
I had a dream last night that Drew killed me...
There's a random bit of knowledge for you.
*laughs*
HELLO, EM! :D
I remember one of the times when I re-read Mortal Coil, I wondered what happened to that cat. I came to the conclusion it died...but I kinda hoped it would return in another book...
I, er...have never really thought about Valith..
Skulduggery was chasing you with a baguette? Epic. *points and laughs at Zaf ;)*
Hey Emerald *hugs. How are you?
see drew takes revenge
OH YEAH!!!
Vinette totally insulted Derek she called him 'she'
I had that thought as well Zaf
It was him taking revenge on me.
Howdy my psychopaths!
I KEEP FORGETTING TO LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS.
also, Valith, ftw;D
see Zaffy epic
DAMN MY FAILING INTERNET.
Wbd, researching Mount Pinatubo.
Star! *hugs* How are you?
Mount Pinatubo? Never heard of it ;P
I'm doing my homework for speaking and listening for English. It's all about Ghosts and is epically failing, because I'm supposed to be filling up 5 mins and I did about 4 slides of nothingness...
I dedicate this page to baguettes. Yes I know Derek is thinking oh dear god but suck it up. I know about the bread too :D I also dedicate to, Valith which i believe is scarier then Derek frolicing in meadows and Skulduggery chasing us with his baguette but whatever. Valith could actually happen though, so LET IT BE KNOWN
Wouldn't Valith be a sadistic kind of relationship, given Tanith's current situation, Val's predicament with Darquesse and a particularly jealous being that is Billy Ray Sanguine.
*laughs* My FAVOURITE dedications to date! :D
YAY VALITH!
Valith is plausible. *nods*
Don't argue with me about it! :D
Baguettes! Epicness :D
Everytime there's a new page, I always stare at the old one wondering why no one is commenting...
I'm epically stupid like that...
forget Sanguine....he hasta deal with the consequences sadistc little Texian
I'm not arguing... I just think it would be a very destructive relationship with either one or both of them dying.
VALITH.
VILEQUESSE.
STEAK.
TANGUINE.
DUSKGUINE.
CHINDUGGERY.
THRASHGRACE.
pretty much any ship with Tanith...
omg, Tanith/Skulduggery.
TANITH/CHINA!
TANITH/DARQUESSE!
...sorry... I think Tanith is my favourite, today... c:
Em stop being so technical
*tackle hugs*
WHICH JUST ADDS TO HOW SHIPPABLE THE PAIRING IS. C:
srsly, look at Vilequesse! I ship that hardcore! xD
I ship Gordon/Tanith, actually.
RAVEL AND TANITH.
...
I'll shut up, now...
*facedesk*
Dear lord...poor Derek he gonna die of laughter
Actually being pretty disturbed by these ships now...
*runs away and hides under rock*
You never heard of it? Lucky you. *stares gloomily at word document*
SOLOMON WREATH AND FINBAR WRONG.
"Did I hit you with a cushion?"
luce this more scary then the baguette
SKULDUGGERY AND THE BAGUETTE WILL BE THE NEXT NOVELLA AFTER THE TANITH ONE I BETS
*has died of laughter and comes back*
Skulguette.
OMGG, ZAF!
see!!! i can be really really crazy when needbe :D
the adventures of Skulguette...and Valith
Omg, Marr/Tanith. "Are you coming onto me?" YES, TANITH, YES SHE IS
Tanith: Hello China. You're looking radiant as ever.
China: And your leather seems to have shrunken since the last time I saw you.
TANITH/CHINA!
Tanchina
GHASTLY AND RAVEL!
Gasrel
