Frankenkids

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.

Hum loudly or not, it doesn't mean that that is the answer to humming Death Metal.

It would probably be humming in their growl...

Which I can actually do.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay, hum it is as you will.

Luciana said...

Zath, you confuddle me. :P

Zathract Mist said...

Why?

I mean - how?

Phoebe said...

Zathract Mist said...

Luciana said...

I just thought it was about time for me to tell you that you confuddle me. :3

Zathract Mist said...

Yokay. *waves to Nix because I know he'll see this*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh yes, tricky business that is.
*thinks*

Phoebe said...

I never know what to ded.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I ded to...

Zathract Mist said...

I should probably write Battle For Blogland now...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh I ded to all the Bloglandians blogs.
I haven't read them all but the ones I have read are brilliant.

Unknown said...

Sorry I keep poofing. I keep getting distracted.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I'm still distant.
Fighting whatever gets in my way...

Unknown said...

Zathract Mist said...

Star Inkbright said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Hey Star!

Luciana said...

Hello, Star! *hugs*

Zathract Mist said...

It's a story I'm writing, Eden. That people seem to like quite a bit.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm not here.

I'm just...

Apologising for being obnoxious.

And Lu should check her e-mail.

Star Inkbright said...

HI SEQUIN!

Sorry. Dint see you.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

What blog is it on?

Zathract Mist said...

myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com

That one. If you want to read it, you'll have to scroll back a fair way to find the first chapter. I post a lot of crap on there.

Or I could just give you the links if you actually want to read them.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I would like to read them please.
Wait are they about an actual battle or is that just the title?

Luciana said...

Oh, fuck off Sparky.

I'm fed up of you.

Just...FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE. I fucking hate you!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*shrinks*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I have to go now.

Star Inkbright said...

. . . *also shrinks*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Bye missy.

Zathract Mist said...

...

...Right.

Well, I am going to leave now.

Don't count on seeing me again for a few weeks now.

Bye.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Actually, I don't have to go.

*shrinks with Star and Eden*

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Cainio.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Thanks Zath I will get reading.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Bye Zath.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*whispers to Missy and Star*
Don't move a muscle.

Star Inkbright said...

. . . *shrinks smaller* Noooooooooo! Don't go, Zath! :'(

*sits on a rock which isn't Eve and sadly gazes out at the lake*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*whispers back*
I don't intend to.

Jophiel said...

Eden, nice wheels!
*Grins evily*
Are you sure it is a left hander?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*whispers back*
Good plan.
Hi Death.

Jophiel said...

Hey! I shall be distant... Doctor Whoing!

Luciana said...

...

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Star Inkbright said...

*perks up slightly* But I have to move muscles, Efen. My heart is a muscle. And even if I stabbed my heart, stopping it abd so dying, I would still be moving muscles as when one organ fails, the others often go on regardless. The only way to obey your command would be to stab (or kill in other ways, like shooting, electrocuting) myself all over; however, as stabbing myself would require moving muscles, I would have to start stabbing before you finished speaking. But if I heard you say "Don't move" and start killing myself before you said "a muscle", and then it turned out you were saying "Don't move the table," then I would have a pretty pointless death and I don't like dying pointlessly. However, I couldn't wair long enough for you to get to "muscle" as by then you would have finished speaking; so, in short, Eden, I'm going to move muscles whether you tell me not to or not. Sorry.

*laughs* I've thought about the above in great detail in the past . . .

Star Inkbright said...

*Eden

*and

*wait

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Star.
Well done on that speech that I didn't read the whole thing.
Bye L.

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, btw, this is random but - PIGS CAN FLY! You just take them on an aeroplane. :P

Star Inkbright said...

C'MON. TRYING TO LIGHTEN THE MOOD HERE.

BUBBLES!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Exactly, Star.

*unshrinks*
Much better.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, YES . . . *unshinks also*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*unshrinks*

Star Inkbright said...

Starry? New one. :)

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Zaths blog is awesome.
The battle for Blogland is epic.

Star Inkbright said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Your lucky star your in it.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hello!

Star Inkbright said...

AH, I FORGOT ABOUT MERLIN BEING BACK!!!! THIS DEFINATEPY MERITS A YYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Bye Hel!
hi leni!

Flame Phoenix said...

I might get that...

But where was David Maybury from?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I can't do my homework yet.
*note to self: do homework tomorrow*

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, yes - HI IENI!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hey Flame.

Luciana said...

FLAME!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

David Maybury briefly appeared in TEOTW I think.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hi!
You forgot about Merlin being back? You forgot about Merlin being back? You FORGOT about Merlin being back?

You forgot?

*hits self on head*

Ouch

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hey Luciana :) Hey Eden :) Hey Flame :)

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Hi Flame and L!

Luciana said...

Hello, Ieni.

Luciana said...

Flame Phoenix said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

*climbs off*
*sulks*
Bye everyone.

Luciana said...

Flameeee, you know cuz you love me n all?

Will ya go on chatzy? :'3

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Bye Flame!

Wow, Zath's Battle For Blagland is really good.

Star Inkbright said...

I remember Davit Maybury, from the MC short story. Y'know, the guy who cursed that pen to kill someone, only he did it wrong and it kept on killing people. And then Davit Maybury made himself a hiding place only he got trapped inside it, ran out of air and so died. Derek keeps pointing out how Maybury's plan was a big fail. Now I know Maybury's a real person, it's seriously LOL.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Hel!

Luciana said...

Fff. Bye, Flame

You better get back online soon..

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I know,
What chapter are you on?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Bye Hel.

Star Inkbright said...

*is flicking through TEOTW* OOH! Yes, Deacon Maybury was in TEOTW. And Davit was mentioned as being his brother who died.

Luciana said...

I'll be back later.

Maybe.

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* DEACON MAYBURY DIED BY FALLING INTO A WOOD CHIPPER. :P

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Bye Luciana

I'm probably going to sound really stupid...
But what's TEOTW?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

TEOTW=the end of the world
It was the world book day story.

Star Inkbright said...

"Is it Deacon?" Francine asked, her eyes wide.
"It is."
"Is he sick?"
"It's a little worse than that."
Shs gasped. "He's dying?"
"He was briefky dying," said Skulduggery. "Now he's dead."

Star Inkbright said...

"Deacon Maybury, the idiot . . . "

Oh, David must just ADORE Derek's short stories.

Star Inkbright said...

"Deacon. I owed him, though. He's the one who actually introduced me to Sarah. He'd asked her out the previous week and she'd laughed so hard she fell over."

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Ah, yeah. I remember that.
I lent that to someone and I specifically told that NOT to bend it in ANY way.
You can guess what happened...

You can always count on Skulduggery to NOT be senstive..

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I agree Star.

Eden, I'm just about to start reading chapter 5. So, I'm distant.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I'm nearly finished chapter 5

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOD. AND EVERY STUPID THING RYAN DOES IS A STUPID THING DEACON DOES. OH LOL.

AND THEN WHEN THEY TELL RYAN HOW MUCH BETTER HE IS THAN DEACAN . . .

"You have the kind of courage Deacon Maybury himself never had." LOLOLOLOLOL!

Jophiel said...

*Squeals*
I thought Rory died but he is alive and there are old people in space and- *Squeals again*

Star Inkbright said...

*scowls* I don't like how the Maybury brother with my dad's name (that's Dafydd, btw. Pronouced Davviff) was the one who ACTUALLY was reduced to Death By Wood Chipper.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

'You will annoy your friends with constant posting of this video'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgAlQuqzl8o

Epic.

Jophiel said...

Are we talkin' about the End of the World?

Star Inkbright said...

Ah. Gtg. We're going to hunt for conkers in this conker-placebecause my brother wants conkers. Wait, do Aussies have conkers? Google it.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Yeah, we have conkers, and bye Star!

Jophiel said...

We do! Are those the things covered in chocolate that are colorful on the inside?

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Bye Star :)

Jophiel said...

Bye Star!

P.S. I am sorry about my irrational hatred!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

LOL!
Nice, Derek.
I think I'm going to have to read this book ~grins~

By the way, slow reply? I've been out of town.
I'm certain you were missing me, so I figured I'd better let you know :P

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

To everyone else:
Sorry, I can't stay! In case you thought I could, anyway... I thought I'd better take the opportunity of being online to comment to Derek Landy while I had the chance -_-
Maybe see y'all tomorrow? Hopefully...

Jophiel said...

Good choice of character name, there.


In other news-
*pouts*
I missed Skyril...

Not that I can stick around, either way.

*slinks into the TARDIS and covers the walls with posters of David Tennant* *REG*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Hi Taia!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

What is happening.
My comments keep disappearing.
I was talking about my new and improved picture then poof.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Isn't it a great pic.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

It's a Bentley Mulsanne.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

V8 engine,
And the Bentley pedigree to match.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I don't know how much it costs new.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

But I was reading that a used one could set you back 315,000 pounds.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Hi Eden!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice piiiiiiiiiiiiic!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Oh, I got first.
Time to think of a dedication...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I'm guessing by that standard a brand new one would be 650 maybe 700 grand.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Damn it.
I was spacing out all those comments so I could get first.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hi Missy.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*sits admiring my pic*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Missy you there or are you writing the ded?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I dedicate this page to:

Val's party. It sounds like heaps of fun and I wish I could be there. Hope it goes well!

World of Warcraft. How can you not love a game where you run around as a creature of some sorts doing quests and killing creatures that attack you?

My emails. I get heaps and I love it.

Everyone's blogs. From ramblings of the everyday life to amazing stories, they're all amazing.

1954 Bentley R-Type Continental. C'mon, you know you love them.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I like it but I love the Mulsanne.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

And I mean LOVE.
I only wish I had one.
Someday I will.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I have actually no idea what type of car that is, Eden.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Three Mulsannes were used in the closing ceremony of the Olympics but they were convertibles so I don't care about them.
