Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.
Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...
I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

Many evils though break the day.
Two young mages, raise chaos to the sky,
But only one may live, so one must die.

Me now scared of Derek.....oh gawd i hope he aint reading.
Wait....if Derek cant get to America...IM SAAAAAAFE. See he cant stooop us he caaaaaant. Unless he goes to America. Which i doubt he can, HECK YEAH ZAFFY NOT IN TROUBLE
Wonder if Derek found his notes on Scarab.
*sits under tree pondering*
Hi Zaf!
Derek's not looking for anything with me... *sigh*
Hi again!
Hi..
OMG DEREK THERES A SCHOOL FROM THE USA IN THAT COMPETITOION FROM THE OFFCIAL PAGE BUT IT SAID ONLY UK....SO IF A USA SCHOOL GOT THROUGH THAT MEAN USA ALLOWED???
What competition?
Never mind.
So like do i go forth to ask my principal for permission, Derek please get back ASAP cuz if its yes i gotta talk to my principal to get permission...
OH. MY. GOD.
There's this absolutely BEAUTIFUL place in my school, and the library is pathetic, and therefore needs the books, and and and!
But UK only. Why do you DO this to us, Derek? It's cruel! Cruel I tell you!
But go look on voting!!! TAMPA FLORIDA!!!!!!
1 second. I LIVE IN FLORIDA!!!!!
Ohmigosh. Derek, answer PLEASE so I can go beg my principal! PLEASE!!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I want to KILL this kid in my class. And I mean it in the most literal way possible.
PLEASE DEREK PLEASE!!!!!!
My Mom told me if Derek says yes get my butt down to my principal ASAP
Well, if he says yes, I will tell my parents tomorrow, and no matter WHAT they say, I will ask my principal. She likes me. Shell say yes.
But if Derek says no, well I might actually cry.
Zaf, if he said yes, would you be willing to abandon OTOA?
*paces Blogland*
if this works, if i get one shot to meet my Golden God so be it I'll do it, forget being mad at him....i could get...my...books....signed....*faints*
Kes, Im willing to abandon it if Derek says yes. I have my priorities, FIRST to meet Derek, second to get in one book. If i hafta choose guess im taking meet Derek
If he says yes I will buy so many more books. I will make him sign my books, my backpack, my shoes, my forehead, my Kindle case, EVERYTHING! and I will right the most goddamn amusing description anyone's ever heard, even it kills me!
Zaf, good. I didn't want you to get mad at me when I made that promise.
DEREK, IF YOU SAY YES THEN SO BE IT, WE WILL ABANDON OTOA!
Kes for god's sake you know damn well I rather meet Derek.....oh my god.
DEREK I REALLY HOPE USA CAN DO THIS
Although, if you think about it, wouldn't it be worse for him to come to a school here, but not our school, than for it to be in a country? For him to be so close...
*inserts 'different' between 'in' and 'country'*
True but i mean if he like gonna be in the area if we really truly beg maybe he would meet up...I mean I'd do anything to meet Derek. All my friends...i know its one in a million shot a USA school can win but...hey it can only truly work
Exactly. My problem is, I would do literally ANYTHING to meet him, but my parents probably wouldn't take me if it was more than an hour away.
But it'd be your SCHOOL. So like, my goal is to get my school up for voting hope to god it gets to the final so Derek decides.....*faints at thought*
i gtg bed. Niiiiight
I mean, I would enter if only for the third prize, but all three of them combined is just cruel to only offer UK people.
Bye!
...
I'll be round.
Hey Derek, nice spelling errors for the "Latest News" thing.
Thor: You have no idea what you are dealing with.
Iron Man: Shakespeare in the park? Why doth thy wear thy mother's drapes?
Stop all the commotion! I'm here! And I knooooooooow that you're nooot!
HI.
Well, I'm not sure how long I can stay, seeing as it's ten past one in the morning here, but I am currently free for conversation.
Hi all!
Hellooooooooo! Anyone home?
I HATE HOMEWORK.
However, my English homework was quite nuce. Had to read through my teacher's markings, answering her questions and analysing when I'd hit targets. Y'know when you try as hard as you can on a task but you're not really sure you've done it right, and then your teacher gives it a big well done? I love those moments.
However, what ISN'T so nice is when you HAVE done it wrong . . . :P
*nice
*that moment when you realise you DON'T like blueberry muffins*
Blueberry muffins are ace!!!
Yuck! :P I prefer... Actully I don't really like muffins in general.
Paper is actually pretty sweet.
Oh Derek... Oh My Dear Lord Derek. You... you... you... Mnah... I just can't even talk right now. Just... Oh My Gosh.
I finished KOTW finally. I want to talk about it, but I think the spoiler post is filled. Oh the sadness... all of these feels inside me. I want to yell about it...
Here, I can yell this:
YOURE MAKING ME WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR THE NEXT BOOK!?!?!?!?!?!?!? NOT FAIR. NO. I REFUSE!!!!
... that didn't help.
- Molly, attracting stares in class.
MUFFINS ARE AWESOME.
I eat them upside down. Same with *English term here* buns. I take them out of their muffincases/buncases, then eat the bottom bit first and the top bit last.
Snails are disgusting!
Snails are also awesome. Not to eat, though. To eat they're just okay. *has eaten snails before. Not joking*
I used to collect all the ones I could find in my grandma's garden and put them on the wall. Y'know, before she starting renting that house to people.
I was talking about to eat! YUCK!
Me Gotta go to school now, might be on again in 6 hours or so..
BYE!
FOURS ARIANA!
It is unlikely I will be here in six hours. :(
Paper takes an extraordinary amount of chewing.
Ok, now I'm going through the NaNo forums to get over KOTW and I found this.
Derek, you should use this in Book 8/9:
"Good morning. I see the assassins have failed again."
There you go! I'm Molly, here to provide you with the occational witty line and freak all over your comment section. You're welcome!
- Molly, practicing a calming breathing technique.
'Tis a good line. :)
*is still chewing paper*
'Tis a good line. :)
*is still chewing paper*
anyone here?
Who hates llamas here again?
...
ookay. no one. i guess ill disappear again.
ME! I hate llamas! Hi Gab!
DAMZIT.
Should've been justa few seconds faster . . .
It was colddddd, today. I was that cold at school that I started stamping my feet on the spot. My friend was doing it with me. Then when my legs started aching I started clapping my hands instead . . . :)
BUBBLES.
Hi Star - I kept complaining about the cold to my friend today. I get really cold. For instance, last night I wore 9 layers to bed and 3 duvets and I lay on my front to make me warmer and I was still cold.
Madness.
*laughs* I don't feel the cold as strongly as that! Feel it more than my friend though. She's Scottish, and once she told me and my other friend that it had been proved that Scottish people felt the cold less. We believed her, and it wasn't until a few years later that she admitted she had been making it up . . . :P
Omg, it's probably true though, or if you live in a cold country, like Russia.
I was talking to my friend about it today. She just called me weird and told me normal people like her wear one layer and then one duvet this time of year.
I told her that's what I wear in heatwaves.
I'm still wearing one duvet. :)
How the hell do you people manage it? o_O
Going now - washing up *sigh*
Fours! :(
Him.
HAI IS MARA :3
*scowls* I was reading my library book, but my finger was bleeding, and I didn't realise, and now at least three of the pages have bloostains on them . . .
*bloodstains
Hi Star :)
Hi Flame!
i g2g again.
BYE!
Fours Flame!
Hello!
Oh my Golden God. Just got home, there was a shooting down the road from my house it turned into a manhunt for the guy. He turned himself in to police. Little b**** i wanted to murder him shot his brother.
that's really scary, Zaf.
*scowls*
I'm never making cookies again.
It was scary....:/
The cat on the cover reminds me of my cat's expression when he's pissed off, which is always.
Hello!
Aloha everyone!
*listening to house on shady lane by Plain white T's :)*
Hiya~
Be back in 10min.
Hey Aylen!
It deleted my previous comment. Grrr...
Kestrel LeStarre, master of torture and all manner of unpleasant deaths, at your service. *bows*
Hi Ana!
I love the House on Shady Lane!
Hey K! Yeah, me too. Now I'm listening to Gives YOu Hell by All-American Rejects <3
I've never heard that one...
Maybe I'll listen to it when my parents go to sleep.
Well you should definitely should listen to it.
I have jut discovered that one of my friends has never heard Gangnam Style. 'Tis an anomaly.
Actually I just heard it for the first time today on the radio :)
Yeah, I only first heard it a couple weeks ago.
But I'm also fairly certain she hadn't heard OF it.
Do you read Rick Riordan?
MINE!
Yeah, I've read all the Percy Jackson series.
Yes!
I dedicate to Derek opening the "Can Your School Get More Awesome?" to ALL countries, including America. Derek, you have no IDEA how ecstatic we Ameriminions would be. Just to have the chance of you coming to America would be one of the best things in my life.
I ALSO dedicate to The Mark of Athena, which is the new Rick Riordan book that I got yesterday. It is brilliant, although, of course, not nearly as brilliant as SP.
How about Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Ilympus?
*Olympus
I thought you lived in Ireland! :)
I wish.
I'm Zafira Kerias's Administrator. Or I was, before Derek fired her.
No... I think I'll read those after I'm finished with my current book.
*glares at Derek*
Ah, ok.
Kane Chronicles are better than Heroes of Olympus.
How about "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel"?
Which state do you live in
No idea...
Florida.
Secret Series?
YES!
I live in Washington.
A grenade fell onto a kitchen floor in France, resulting in Linoleum Blownapart.
The state, right?
Inheritance Cycle?
Yes and No.
I'm reading Eldest right now, Kes.
ARIANA, HELLO
OH! And I've read the Secret Series!
THEY ARE AMAZING
Hi Val!
I have signed copies!
Pssst, Ariana, guess what?
Indeed they are. I attribute my addiction to dark chocolate to them.
C-A-B-B-A-G-E-F-A-C-E
*GASP* Signed copies!?!?!
HI VVC
What?
I've actually attempted playing that song... C-A-B-B-A-G-G-E-F-A-C-E
Psst, Val, what?
Ana, indeed. Of Brisingr, Inheritance, and Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia.
Psst...
I'M EATING COOKIES
Val, I probably could, but switching between A and B is formatting hard on clarinet.
Psst....
Are they good?
*steals cookies*
Arrg! Still haven't got my new viola yet.
Ariana, I made the cookies. And you know what that means?
...Half of them are burned.
I get a viola next week!
Ariana, did you see my orchestra on TV?
*runs away with non-burned cookies*
Unfortunately I don't get TV at my house. Fortunately Google Chrome has spell check so I can spell Unfortunately.
I like Google Chrome. It's fast.
Firefox is better. Chrome annoys me.
Hmmmm.... I'll have to try that.
Mozilla Firefox
I've got to go now. Bye!
Have you guys heard Sia's Breathe Me?
Bye K!
I HAVE HEARD IT, YES.
(because of Amanda)
Have you seen the video? It's really cool but depressing.
Send a hope upon a wave,
A dying wish before the grave,
Send a hope upon a wave,
For all the souls you failed to save
Yeah, Amanda made me watch it while I listened to the song.
Huh. Well I've gotta go now.
Orevuar little biscuit!
Bye Ariana!
Wait... Did you just call me a little biscuit? ...What?
*Vanishes*
Today I was a bit dumb and let a new kid fiddle with my computer while I did an English assignment.
Yeah, so he kept telling me oops, and stuff... i was sure this kid had no idea what he was doing, and i was pretty engrossed in my work, so i let him continue. at the end of class, he politely turned off the computer as he left with it, i made a joke or two and that was the end of the day...
of school.
turned on computer and whenever i touched the arrow keys the screen changed, which was cool at first but then it started to piss me off when i couldn't type anything
random window popped up instead...
random window popped up instead...
in other news, i am now playing minesweeper, and my brother is my cover story for my reading the new Captain Underpants
Hm?!
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
*tuts*
Whaaaaaaaa?
You're using someone else's slogan
Nuh-uh! Their slogan is:
SLAUGHTERHOOOOUSE!
It's a completely different thing.
Riiiight
It is, I swear!
Ooooooh, Slender Man for the iPod...buybuybuy
NIX, HOW ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR FIDDEH!
