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.

Ah. Bad.
Yay!
Anyway, I need to check how long I've been on the blog.
Brb.
Hello?
HELLO.
I've been on a year and... Seven months!
284 days, I've been on the blog. Assuming I counted right. In mounths, it's nine and a half and a bit.
YOUR BLOG AGE IS OLDER THAN MINE. :)
I'm oldest regular...
*months
*thinks* Yes.
I am, aren't I? Or am I being self centered?
Centred*
Your fella, of course your self centred Flame lol
Morning psychopaths!
*rolls eyes at Em*
But you are the oldest, I thinkkkk.
HI EM!
Brb
Don't roll your eyes at me, respect your elder!
*imagines Derek seeing all Luscathio's ships* LOL.
He really could make Thrashgrace work. That would be so funny. :)
In some cultures, rolling your eyes is a sign of respect. *flicks eyebrows up then down quickly in HAH fashion, because I do that irl*
That is, in some cultures that exist only in my head . . . :/
*HA
I'm older than you on the blog =D
Lol I like that Star,
Might use it as a smart arse answer for one of the kids in Dublin Daes
With your permission of course...
HA. As in, HA! I was right.
. . . No, I've got no idea why I do that thing with my eyebrows either . . .
That doesn't count for nuts Flame,
I am older, years, experience, maturity lol
Sorry even I laughed at that last part lol
You can, Em. THANKS! :)
In years and experience...
But you ARE arguing with a 13 year old over the Internet.

ANNANNANNANNANNANNANNANNANNANNANNANN. *is one of those chomps from Mario, specifically the game Yoshi's Island, and is chomping through the ground*
YES, I KNOW THEY DON'T MAKE ANN NOISES. I JUST FANCY BEING A CHOMP. *chomps a circle and chomps through the forest and chomps through the lake bed and chomps round the volcano*
*chomps the words "HI NIX!" into the beach*
IF DEREK SAW ANY OF MY SHIPS I'D LAUGH SO MUCH.
mainly because me and Zaf were discussing it.
Sparx is to blame for Valith! She mentioned it to me when she read KotW. Then when I was re-reading MC I was like "Oh my Golden God, Valith could actually work..." Then laughed. And told everyone on Blogland at the time. xD
*laughs* That iron guy just went down my street.. y'know the one that yells "annnnnnny old ironnnnnn?"?
*then chomps up the whole beach*
Hello, Star!
Hello, Flame!
Hello, Nix!
How are you all?
*stops chomping for a mo* Like a Rag and Bone man?
ALSO; you have scarred me. :( I'LL NEVER GET VALITH OUT MY HEAD *continues chomping*
*chomps the words "CHOMPY! YOU?" into the forest*
I g2g! Damn!
Bye y'all!
*hugs*
*laughs* I think I ship Chinith a little more than Valith. :3
Also, Skulguette is a cool ship.
And HARMPINE IS CANONNNNNNNNN. c:
It's funny because Serpine is sleeping with Becky's OC.
Bye, Flame.
*chomps "FOURS, FLAME! :(" into one of the mountains*
*tries to chomp into the volcano*
*hurridly chomps away from the lava being spewed after me* *stops chomping and gazes at huge ash cloud* Whoops. I think I caused an eruption.
*chomps a shelter into the ground, theb beside it chomps, "You puny humans can all hide from the volcano in here. :)"*
Bye Flame!
*stops chomping elaborate spirals into the forest* Wow. You're still here. *continues chomping*
*chomps into Elf territory* *is chased by elves* *chomps away as fast as U can* *mumbles through mouthful of forest* HELP! *arrows ping off my metal body* *spells don't ping off* OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! MELTING* *chomps into lake to cool down* Phew. *chomps out and winces as magical melting arrows hit me* EVIL ELVES! Oh wait, it's me who's evil. NEVER MIND. *starts chomping up the elves*
*I
*chomps "HELLO WILLOW" into the deserted battlefield (the elves seem to have run away*
*bullets start thwacking into me* *looks up and sees the elves back again, armed with guns* ISN'T THERE SOME SORT OF RULE SAYING THAT ELVES HAVE TO HAVE MEDIEVIAL WEAPONS?
*hides in lake*
*elves jumps in after me and start firing again* GUNS DON'T WORK UNDERWATER. *non-existant eyesbrows flick up and down once* *bullets hit me again* ALTHOUGH, MAGICAL GUNS MIGHT DO . . . *hurridly chomps away again* I'M ALL DINTED NOW. :(
I should probably go to sleep, even though it's 10:23am :P
I haven't slept since yesterday. I didn't go to bed until twelve and I just stayed up reading Clockwork Prince.
*chomps "I LIKE SLEEPING . . . " into the ground en route to my safe hideout*
*which isn't safe anymore, because the elves have got there first. :(*
Oh, wait. Bbs.
Okay (:
Hello, Willow.
Hi, Luce.
I think I may go back to bed, finish reading it. I'll hopefully be back.
Hi is anyone here?
ANYONE HERE *echoes around the Mystical void of Magical comments*
Poor derek... HEY PEEPS ITS BEEN A WHILE!
Oh god, Star, get away from the elves!!!!
...Wait. Those ARE the Elves of Utter Doom, right?
Hey!!!!
Yes, they ARE the Elves if Utter Doom, Eve. :)
They've gone for a tea break right now though.
Me and my sister just had this long chat about Artemis Fowl in the car, coz I was saying about the awesome parts in AF5, then she joined in, and then we qere just quoting this and that from the whole series . . . 'TWAS AWESOME. :) I love being able to discuss books with her. :)
*of
RUN!!!
Msd :P
I read heaps of Artemis Chicken books. Like, 0.01 of them.
*laughs*
ARTEMIS FOWL IS AMAZING.
After AF I'm reading SP. Then you'll all know what I'm talking about. :)
Sorry I disappeared, btw. Was eating lunch.
It was so cruel that I couldn't do my homework on the day I was bored; nearly all of it needed the internet . . .
I wish I was an Elf.
Elves are cool...
I WANT TO BE AN ELF. *nods*
HELLO, SCATHIO.
HELLO, STAR!
*chomps out, "HOW ARE YOU?"*
LOOK, INTERNET, I'VE NO DOUBT AUSTRALIA IS VERY INTERESTING, BUT I DON'T NEED TO FIND OUT ABOUT AUSTRALIA IN WWI, AKAY???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUYuIVbFg0&feature=related
I'M GOODDDDD, YOU?
YAY.
NEW BOOK THING COMING RELATIVELY SOON.
YAY.
... YAY.
^.^
I'M REALLY HAPPY NOW.
YAY.
^.^
Hello, Blaze. Can I call you that?
Sure. What do I call you? Star or Ink or...?
Hello, Blaze! :D
Star or Ink. Your choice. :)
Hm. I like... Ink :D
And hey Luciana... Do I call you Luciana? XP
L, Lu, Luc, Luci, Lucy, Luce, Lucia, Luciana, Anna, Robyn, Jordan and then some people call me Lucky, Lucy Anna and I don't even know what else... ^.^
I should probably write all these down...
... Robyn?
I'll... call you... Luci :)
Yay. I like Ink too. :)
Luscathio, don't forget Luscathio! And I nickname that into Luscath and Scathio and Scath . . . Sorry. :)
My middle name is Robyn. ^^
My given name is Jordan.
Jordan Robyn. So some people call me Robyn. :D
And some people call me Clover...Because I'm a lot like Clove from HG! xD
I've been called Miss Sorrows before, too. WHICH WAS FRICKING HILARIOUS.
Yeah, and there's Luscathio, Luscath, Scathio and Scath...
I think I'm forgetting one, to be honest...
I'm not sure being like Clove from HG is a good thing... XD
I was called Mrs Pleasant once. One of the best moments of my life.
The best being, of course, the day I met Derek ^.^
Scath/Scathio is a fairly awesome name... :D
I LOVE CLOVE FROM HUNGER GAMES! <3
PLEASANT IS MINE. Or China's...Whatever. c:
I've never met Derek... :/ Stupid brother... I swear, I'll end up murdering him he's so horrid..
But she's really psychopathic... o.O
Pleasant is Valkyrie's ;)
It was so cool :D I made this scrapbook and he looked through all of it and drew a special picture at the end *fangirls* And he BROFISTED ME.
Anyway, what did your brother do?
Valduggery fan, are you?
. . . After being introduced to Valith and Chinith and Jackduggery (though I'd heard of that one before) and god knows what else, I feel very tolerant of ships . . .
So am I...What's your point?
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NOOOOOOOOOO.
China's. *nods*
Nice...
I'm not getting into this...
Sorry... I can't act happy, not right now...Bye.
Forgot to say the 'yesterday' part.
Um. Okay? Bye.
I am most definitely a Valduggery fan.
And a Valguine fan... XD
I'm not a big shipper. :P
Not like some.
Hello?
Hello Willow :D
Not like me XP
HI, WILLOW!
Not like you and not like some others. :)
Two hours sleep will have to do me.
Did you finish Clockwork Prince?
It's an epic book. :)
Yup.
ALL THOSE FEELS
... What's the Clockwork Prince?
An epica book written by Cassandra Clare. The second in a series. The Infernal Devices. Clare also wrote The Mortal Instruments which is also epic.
Clockwork Prince is a book in the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare and it's awesome.
I like Mortal Instruments slightly better, I think. It has Simon in it.
But POOR WILL. :'( I feel so so sorry for him.
I love them both.. I want T and Will to be together.
My internet my cut out, that is the reason if I dispersal.
I WANT THEM TO BE TOGETHER TOO. :(
But poor Jem as well.
. . . Tbh, I want Jem to die. Best solution. :)
Same, I know it's horrible but Tessa deserves someone who she can have a long life with.
I feel sorry for Derek. :P This is his blog, but all I ever seem to do on it is rave about other authors. XD
Derek, if you're reading this, you're still very amazing, akay?
And if Jem died, then he wouldn't have to be upset, and it would allow Will and Tessa to be together happily after they got over his death. :)
NOBODY SAD. SIMPLUS. :)
So, Tessa + Will, Steak, and Holtemis. That's probably all my ships from everything. :P
I love Uriah, he is mine like the whole Malfoy family.
PROBABLY. I could have missed something . . . I read a lot of things. :/
BUBBLES.
Bubbles ^.^
Bubby bubb bubb bubbles.
Bubby bubby bubb bubb bubb bubbles.
Bubby bubby vubby bubby bubby bubby bubb bubb bubb bubb bubb bubb BUNNIES! *bunnycopies a bunny*
Bunny bunny vubby bunny bunny bunny bunn bunn bunn bunn bunn bunn BUBBIES! *bubblecoppies a bubble*
GUYS ARE SO CONFUDDLING. D:
THAT OR I'M THE ONE CONFUSING MATTERS. XD
Then again...he did say it'd make things complicated...
HELLO!
LUCI :D YOUR BACK :D
And why are guys so confusing? D:
HEYLO L!
Humankind are confusing. And horrible.
Hello.
I cheered up a little. Listened to lots of Muse. :3
There's a guy that i'm kind of in love with and I think I messed up... I don't think things will be ok... I love him more than anything, but things are so complicated. :/ I'm so stupid, he deserves so much better.
I WANT A PET TURTLE. :3
*shakes head* For a human, you're amazing. :)
My brother wants a pet lizard.
*laughs slightly* I'm nowhere near as amazing as you, my dear Star! :)
Lizards are cool. *nods*
i am so happy i have now got all the latest books of sklduggery
I've got a boyfriend, but my relationship is really complicated as well :/
I want a pet ferret... :)
They are very cool.
I'm not amazing. Honest. I'm very stupid and thoughtless. Yusss. I've set a target for myself - ALWAYS think before speaking, both physically and electronically.
Star, you're amazing. Trust me.
You're actually incredibly smart. :) You're not thoughtless!
I AM. Really. :( Thoughtlessness and empathy. My empathy hurts myself and my thoughtlessness hurts other people.
And you're smarter than meeeeee. :)
*peers in*
Everybody's amazing.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
HELLO, TAIA!
If I ignore the fact that we're humans and we suck, then I agree with you. :)
Hey, Star!
Fair point - I'd rather be a duck than a human, any day. :3
BUT DUCKS ARE EVIL!
. . . Sorry, Cassandra Clare moment. XD
LOL,
But ducks are awesome. Especially when they're called Toby. Or Tobias.*nods*
hey again..
HELLO ANYONE THAT APPEARED! ^^
Hello, Cain. :)
Ducks are evil. *nods*
CONUNDRUM. A person in my story would most definately be swearing if she existed in real life. Should I make her swear or not?
My new story, this is.
*suddenly a wild Zafira appears riding a unicorn*
Hi, Zaf. No, I ant heard from Panda.
ZAFFFFFFFFFFFFF! C:
HIIIII!!!
I figured I swear Panda and Derek fell off the face of the earth, Derek might still be sulking. Does he sulk for long period of time?
*glares at internet*
Hm? Well, I'd say having a character with a convincing existence is important. If it makes the story and character more real, then I think using swears would be for the better, Star. ^-^
Phahaha!
A friend is someone who breaks you out of jail, a best friend is someone who sits with you in the cell and says "That was awesome!'
Im experiencing the awful power cuts that came after the stupid hurricane.
Tanith Low novella sounds great! Hopefully Sanguine will be in it :p
hehe poor Ghastly xD
Can't even read skulduggery pleasant books because I ran out of battery on my book light! Life sucks.
How did Harper Collins mess up anyways?
*laughs*
Thanks Taia. :)
The ironic thing is, I personally never swear outside of my head. :P
Omg, my sister's friend, Pete, dressed up as Hulk for Halloween and he's still green today, omg.
Him and his house mates dressed up as the Avengers, apparently. ^^
Hello :)
When I'm with my friends, I swear a lot, but when I'm with my family/other people kinda, I edit out my swearing my saying somthing else, or just missing the word out.
Divy which state are you in? Im in Pennsylvania and i lost power for 3hrs one night
Well, I turned into a Remnant-possessed person for Halloween and though I cleaned my face and my hands, I still have pen going all up my arms . . .
HI IENI!
Star- I don't have a huge problem with swearing, though, provided it's not used to hurt somebody. But I don't like the idea that it can make some people uncomfortable, so I try to avoid it.
Also, if I don't use swears often, it means I have words for those terrible times when any other word just isn't enough. :P
Lol, Luce. xD Still, green is fun, right?
Aha, that's epic Luciana! And what you did for halloween Star!
I went to my friends murder mystery party today and we had to dress up as our character (I was some psycalogically distubed dude) and I ended up looking like Woody from Toy Story! Fail...
I'm going to send hugs to everyone here now...
Star! *hugs*, Luciana! *hugs*, Zaf! *hugs* Taia *hugs*
Im going as Zafira and we go tomorrow night cuz of the hurricane, Elders Serphina and Marissa coming too. And Davina Dashford. Im handcuffing her and using her as a prisoner xD im so nice to my mages, n'aww she the youngest in grade 8 V grade 10 and the Council we all in grade 9 we smart kids we in Honors English where our extra credit was colouring
*hugs leni*
Bbs, dinner.
That's awesome Zaf!
Ah...the fireworks have started outside *yay* I always watch other people ones outside my bedroom window, rather than going/doing anything/anywhere myself, because I'm epically lazy like that.
Bye Star!
Ah, Hallowe'en just works out as any ordinary day, for me.
There weren't even any trick-or-treaters, this year. Y'know that house which everybody's too scared to approach? Yeah, I think that's mine. :P
Hey, Leni! *hugs back*
We got one house where the owner dresses up. Scared the sh** out of you, never know where he is. One year he jumped off the shed in front of us.
Bye, Star!
Hello, Ieni! *hugs*,
*DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU READ KOTW*
imagine, Scapegrace dancing in a bright pink bikini to California Gurls by Katy Perry.
*nods*
NOOOOO IF IT GETS COLDER WE GONNA GET SNOW D:
Omgg, Zaf you're as bad as me, hahaha. XD
My mum is totally against Halloween, which is why I've never ever been trick or treating, but for the first time ever my dad and me actually opened the door and gave celebrations out to people! But then it started raining and bascially no one came out...
Zaf, I'm actually going to be scarred for life now *hides under rock*
Please don't let it get colder! I literally wearing as many layers as humanly possible to bed a the moment. 8 on top, 5 and the bottom, a dressing gown and then 3 blankets, 3 duvets, a sheet and a cover...
Oh, first. Does this mean I have to write a dedication? Do we still do that?
Hm,
I hereby dedicate this page to Clarabar/Finbelle, because I support very few ships, but I’m proud of this one, even if it does leave me feeling a little bad for Sharon...
Also, to the safety of all those on the East Coast of America, for obvious reasons, really.
Hm, I’d also like to make an un-dedication to WHSmiths, because they STILL haven’t got KOTW, and as time progresses it’s getting harder and harder to avoid the spoilers...
Aside from that, I'll be having to go now.
Bye, all! *waves and leaves hugs*
That's an awesome ded Taia!
When I went to my local WHSmiths yesterday, they had KOTW.
Bye Taia!
Well im American so...you know my situation....
That'd be cool. I had this dream I met Derek again. I keep dreaming of that. ITS OBVIOUS I WANNA MEET HIM
*wanders in* Back.
Hey Star
Hey again Star! :)
I've never met Derek. Probably never going to. I can't imagine my parents letting me go to a signing in the near future :(
I've not met Derek. :(
SEE, ZAF? NONE OF US HAVE MET HIM.
BONJOOOOOUR:3
Hi ValMarsh!
Hey everybody:) Im too lazy to name you all.... XD
Hey, ValMarsh! *hugs*
I have a question for you ValMarsh...would you call me Ieni or Leni?
Uhhh... Leni. I hate not using capitals...XD
Oh! A hug! *hugs back*
Ieni is a capital letter. Capital I. I not i.
L, or I??
*CONFUZZLEDNESS*
Ah. I. Ieni.
It doesn't matter. Some people call me Leni anyway. Even The Golden God called me Leni and I even went back to check it is an upper case I, rather than a lower case l and it is!
Proof the world is against me -_-
On my phone the I (as in i) looks different to the l (as in L). But on the comp they're identical, so . . .
This is a long tea break the Elves are taking.
I can just call you ieni.
Elves? Tea break?
Watching Doctor Who again :D
No, sorry, you can't just call me ieni. You can call me Ieni or Leni, because I am in love my capital letters. ;P
I'm a Grammar Freak like that ;D
And hi SPDirectioner! *hugs*
DOCTOR WHO IS THE BOSS
Except I'm watching the Angels Take Manhattan, so I may just break down and cry at some point...
AGH! Just smudged the moustache my friend drew on me! :O
I chomped through the Elves of Utter Dooms' territory earlier today whilst being a Mario-style chomp. They got annoyed and started shooting me. With arrows and magic and bullets. Then they took a tea break and stopped trying to kill me for a mo. This was about nine hours ago . . .
Ah...I didn't really understand that, so I'm just going to nod and go along with it.
*nods and goes along with it* :)
I didn't cry whilst watching The Angels Take Manhattan. :/
Which is odd. I mean, I cried at Enough six times and almost cried at a few other Disturbed songs a few times, plus I've cried at quite a few books . . . I was crying buckets at It's A Wonderful Life (film).
Another odd thing is that I've read the Artemis Fowl books about six times, and never cried or almost cried at any of them, yet I almost cried at Holly dying in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony last night. :/
Me and my crying is odd.
