And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.
Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?
To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.
Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

Rose, come back please. Don't leave me with an unhappy Loki....-Zaf
Very well then, I shall ask the first question.
GARRETT.
TRUTH OR DARE.
...
Well.
That certainly escalated expediently.
Thanks a fucking bunch. Im out of here too.
Chi: Wait, does that mean I have to ask a question first?
. . . If you must, Silente. That's dreadfully sad.
Goodbye.
(*accepts kalli's free hug* thank you *smiles* )
(I'm putting Garrett forward for truth or dare)
I believe expediently means "as quickly as safely possible." Nothing about that was safe.
And I asked the question, Chione, so it's quite alright.
(Zaf you fucking- I swear to fuck if you make any of my friends upset again you'll fucking regret it.)
Well, which is it to be, Garrett? Truth or dare?
Truth please Clars
Oh, and if you think I'm 'civil' you ate unfortunatly mistaken. I have written as Loki since June, it is now December, you start to think differently after a while. It helps a lot actually.-Zaf
Chi, perhaps I do know why that is.
Because Zaf isn't like you. Because she's different and you all don't give her the time to know her, instead you decide to pick fights and be a cow to her too.
How about you all behave and not be mean to each other??
Very well then.
Garrett.
. . . What is the most frightening monster you've ever faced?
(Guys, change your names to just who's taking part so I don't get confuzzled please?)
Threats don't work on me anymore, I already had the worst happen in July. So continue threatening me, it really doesn't work anymore. I learned that if I don't care, things don't hurt me.-Zaf
You won't get confused, Chione, worry not.
Silente asks Zaf to be civil.
You call Silente a COW.
Then you ask everyone to behave and not be mean to each other?
Get a grip.
I'm fairly certain that all the people who are neither Sir nor fighting are playing Truth or Dare.
(No deathy, it's because we were all having fun and having a good time and just because zaf wasn't the fucking centre of it all and didn't join in, she felt as if she was being ignored. Everyone was just excited and wanted to play the game.)
Zaf, if you're going to do nothing but continue to argue then shut up and leave like you said you would twenty minuets ago.
This is a hard one *ponders*
the most frightening monster I've faced is a box of jaffa cakes *smiles* (i love me some jaffa cakes.....)
Deathy, zaf, if you're going to continue making my friends and I upset, ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY which has fucking been shitty enough as it is without you two being hormonal fucking bitches then you can just go. If you want to join in our game and have a good time, be my guest. Everyone is invited.
If that's the most frightening monster you've faced, you've lived a good life indeed.
It's your turn to ask a question, if you haven't yet been scared away.
A lot of you guys do not know me, none of you talk to me as Zaf, I may let Loki rp but I can always talk to others. I mean Kallie and those who knew me prior to te summer do....
Rose is right, I am not like everyone else. Out of everyone on here, Kallie and I are the only two active Bloglandians to actually appear in the books and if I forgot someone who is active daily it was not my intentions. Right there is something I can't relate with anyone about, which isn't anyone's fault, but again, I am different but I do still like to talk and always will.
-Zaf
You did ignore her.
You didn't even have the courtesy to say hi.
Okay, I'm pissed. Zafira and Tia, you two can feel free to email me whenever you'd like. I'll continue to roleplay with you Zaf over email if you'd prefer it.
This place used to be my home. Now it's the home of my nightmares.
(Back)
That's fine, Rose. I understand, and I'll gladly talk to you over email if it makes you happier to be away. I always answer my emails.-Zaf
"I am not like everyone else. Out of everyone on here, Kallie and I are the only two active Bloglandians to actually appear in the books"
You do know how much of a stuck up brat that makes you sound like, right? like you think you're above everyone else because you were in derek's books?
I'm not bothered by arguments really... And yes i have lived a good life Clars, thank you)
So Kalli truth or dare?
Welcome back, Ed.
(Welcome back Ed, Chloe has gone to bed so yeah....)
(*sigh* before I leave, I wanted to wish Gemma happy birthday. Night)
Hey! there is my other Mew!
Well, as this evening's activities have been well and truly ruined, I'm going to depart. I'm sure you will continue to fight while I'm gone, and I hope you enjoy it more than the rest of Blogland has. Good day.
*departs*
(Hi all those who said hi, I wish I could stay but it's late, sorry *vanishes*)
Holy shit are you that stupid? I used something that a lot of my friends who were on here long ago can relate to, but those who I met after LSODM can't. Holy hell you really are thick. I'm really above everyone aren't I? TDOTL SPOILER ALERT AHEAD
In case you bloody noticed, I DIED in TDOTL so I guess a dead person is apparently a saint.
-Zaf
(Aww...thank you Edward *hugs* And I'm sorry everyone had to hear that, but everyone knows I hate her...I honestly try my best to ignore it. And her. Which is why I never replied to her earlier. Everyone else was involved in the game, I just hate her and chose to not say hi.)
Right Kalli,
(this is hard....)
what was the hardest thing you have done ever?
(-sighs, head in hands-
Sorry. The snide comment I made wasn't needed and was a bit b*tchy of me. I'm sorry it caused conflict as I always seem to do so. I'm sorry for having ruined peoples evening. I'm sorry Chi for turning your birthday to sh*t.
I'm sorry..)
And you can shut your mouth because I'm sick of arguing with an ignorant cow, and if you can only make assumptions up about people, get a life. :)
-Zaf
(Goodbye Ed and Clars)
(No Zafira, I'm not stupid. So what if that happened to your character? you still got in the books right? everyone would have wanted to be in the books, even if they died. But the way you said that, that seems as if that was what you were saying. And I don't know if you remember or not, but we used to be friends Zafira. But then you made Adra leave. And have been a fucking bitch ever since. And now I can't stand you. I knew you 3 years ago on the blog.
Ms. Kerias, your constant ad hominem attacks are doing you no favor, as well as your incredibly passive-aggressive behavior.
Zaf, don't you dare talk to her like that. You are the problem here, you bitch and make a fuss whenever people make the slightest slip in giving all their attention to you, when we attempt to apologize it's already too late and you're on a rampage of "poor me" and "everyone hates me" and oh of course there's "I'll just leave if you all hate me so much". Has it ever occurred to you that we may not hate you so much if you would learn this wonderful little thing called humility? You are not the center of the universe, and I can't wait for the day you figure it out.
(Excuse the way i put this
but
Everyone just Shut the fuck up please, this arguing is just getting out of hand now....
blwdi Christ! )
And now look what you've fucking done Zafira, you've ruined everyone's fucking night. Clara has left,Sil has left, Sir has left, Matex has left. you're ruined our game of dares, even death is upset and she's meant to be your friend. You were the one who caused this.
(-looks at the giants arguing and feels more like a small child than ever before-
-waves a white flag-
Guys? Peace? Apologize and make up?)
(Kalli, you haven't spoken out of turn, everyone is entitled to say their piece)
*Hugs Gar* I'm so sorry, I really don't mean to be like this, but she made two of my best friends on the blog leave. I'm not standing by like that...
While I appreciate the sentiment Chi, it was Death who ruined my night, not Zaf.
(*returns and hugs Silente tightly*)
*murmurs*
Stop fighting... Please stop fighting...
*has just gotten here and skimmed through comments*
*Cuddles Lavender*
I saw your old comments too Lavender *smiles* You've not changed at all...
Hey, Lavender.
Go to Hell, Blake. And Chi too you both deserve it.-Zaf
(-hugs Soph back tightly- rp? Please?)
(Its ok Chi *hugs*
and I'm with Sil and Matty and Lav on this... Just stop the madness!)
I'm stopping now...I better go before I start making people feel sad too. Because I'm not a heartless bitch who doesn't care about how her friends feel...
*Hugs Matex*
*Hugs sil*
*Hugs Blake*
*Hugs Kall tightly* Thank you...
*Hugs Lavender again*
*Hugs Gar again*
*Goes to hug Sophia but thinks better of it*
(ZAF!)
I'm glad I did that, Matex. Just another thing to add to my list :)
I've already ruined my family, and I ruined your day, and I ruined Chi's birthday...
But do you know what?
You all ruined my life :)
So, fuck you all. Grow a pair and realise that if you had actually spoke to Zafira and been the family that you once were, then this could have been averted.
*Just ignores it*
Zafira, that was uncalled for.
*smiles sadly*
Thanks, Chi... I try, but it's hard being in the middle...
*sighs*
I hate when we fight for reals...
Deathy, that is really cruel. Especially because I was one of the people who comforted you when you were sad.
(There is no difference between what they are doing, Zafira, and what Rose was doing. So telling them that they deserve to go to hell would also imply that you would think the same way about Rose. There is a difference, however, with what they are doing and what you are doing - you are being a lot worse. So I am asking you to be quiet.)
As was what you said, Rose.
*hugs Gemma* I hope that tomorrow is a better day, and I wish you sweet dreams and a pleasant sleep
(*Hugs Chi*)
(that was very nice of you Kalli,
even though it must of been really hard)
Sorry, Rose. I got a bit carried away. Won't happen again.
Rose is right if you lot knew me we wouldnt be in this position.-Zaf
(And Rose, you are only making things worse, not better, may I just point out.
Yes, Silente. We can roleplay.)
Liliana: You cannot do that. Not yet.
(-hugs EVERYONE- okay listen just STOP FIGHTING! This comment here. Just stop. Any arguments related to this one after this comment please delete it.)
Yet being the operative word. But you will pay for that..
*takes a deep breath*
What Zaf is saying is partly true. The newer Bloglandians tend to get carried away with their rping, but that doesn't mean they can't have their fun.
It would be nice for everyone to acknowledge everyone else... And find something we can all agree on...
*is probably too late to say it*
(Thank you Blake for deleting that comment.)
Grow up Blake like you don't cause problems. You do.-Zaf
Liliana: You have no reason to make me pay. I did not hurt Bethany. I did not wield the whip nor make you do anything. You could have just refused. And you whipped her more than I asked of you, so I think you enjoyed it.
A lot of good it did, eh Sil?
*would delete that comment, but realizes that wifi is still not loading the page right and now the delete button is gone...*
*would delete that comment, but realizes that wifi is still not loading the page right and now the delete button is gone...*
Lav your not to late to say it, people are entitled to say their bit, at anytime of day so its all good )
(Zaf. What did I say. Please..Just delete that comment.)
I didn't enjoy it.
(Xan please delete that too.)
(Thank you Sil and Xan *nods to both of you* )
Just stop fighting with me and move on, fatal mistake of those who sided with Adra, they kept it up, whereas Adra actually wanted them to stop. -Zaf
(-hugs Kallie- go for it girl :)
(Zaf. Delete that comment please. New page. Let it guys.)
Kalli, *gives you the ded rights* go for it my friend
Liliana: You definitely enjoyed it. So did Bethany.
Bethany: It hurt, dammit. I definitely did not enjoy it.
Good to see you too, Kal.
Sorry for the late reply, I hate the wifi in my room.
Good idea.
New page, new start, right?
*whispers*
Can we please get along now?
And neither did I. I don't like hurting pu- hurting people to are good.
I don't blame you if you hate me, actually, please do hate me. It'll make me feel better.
The only person I actively talk to on here is Blake. The rest of you... I just don't feel welcome. Now with these events, I don't feel welcome anywhere anymore. And I haven't for a while.
I've tried to be the person you want me to be, I've tried to kill myself because I've failed you all. But now, I realise something:
I don't give a shit anymore. None of you, save Zaf and Tia and Em, give a shit about me. And when I'm in a mood like this, shit goes down.
Silente, you picked on my sister- one of the people who cares enough to talk to me. If you know me, then you'll know that my family means the most to me... You all meant the most to me. You picked on her and I did what I seemed to be fit as a response.
Then you became a hypocrite. And the only thing I hate worse than a hypocrite are people who gang up against the weak.
Which is where the rest of you come in.
You're destroying me. I managed to find love when I first came on here with Eden. Then with Matt. And now I'm in love with a character.
That hurt.
I wish you could see what I'm going through.
Chi, I've been there for you for forever. You- actually...
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE FOR EVERYONE. AND SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME TOO. I'M BEING 'THERE' FOR ZAFIRA AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT, SAY WHAT YOU WANT... I DON'T CARE ANYMORE. I WILL DEFEND HER UNTIL THE END, AS I WILL DEFEND YOU ALL.
BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE PICKING ON THE WEAK...
And I don't kindly to that.
Silente LITERALLY JUST ASKED HER A QUESTION. You are taking it to the absolute extreme. And then she apologised anyway!
Thank you, Rose. I'm glad someone is here for me when I need it.-Zaf
(-says quietly- Deathy..I've apologized... I've tried for a ceasefire.. please stop insulting me.. I don't like being a hypocrite and I've tried okay? I've tried to say sorry already. Please just stop..I..tried..I know I screwed up...I'm sorry..I just...-sighs- I'm not going to convince you not to hate me..)
Matex, she didn't have to phrase it in an insult.
Liliana: Pure? Oh yes, Bethany here is very pure. We should get her a girlfriend.
Bethany: I am close to telling you that I will just take my chances against Archeos and Minerve.
Now, Zafira and Tia and Em, you all have my email.
Bye.
(-curls up on herself-)
Death, wait, please don't go...
You're my friend too...
Can we please stop beating the same dead horse with a stick please (i think the saying goes like that not to sure.... But either way lets just calm down and end this ok? )
(sorry..everyone..should've kept my mouth shut..)
Obviously we ended it because obviously people needed a reality check. Don't care what I say really anymore.-Zaf
(-feels a bit like the dead horse Garr described-)
No, Sil, do NOT blame tonight on yourself! It is not your fault! *gags her mouth and hugs* hush.
(Sil as I've said before and I'll say again, everyone is entitled to say their piece )
*would like to say something, but doesn't want to drag this any further*
And we play, play, play all the same old games
And we wait, wait, wait for the end to change
I could say something here and blame someone, blame everyone, blame myself. I'm not gonna do any of that, though. There's way too much blame rolling around already. Everyone's got a bloody target on their back.
Oh, look, now I'm being all metaphorical.
Huh.
(I agree with Matex. The question you asked, Silente, was an attempt to prevent something like this from happening, not causing it. What followed was most likely a misunderstanding on the parts of a few individuals.)
(-hugs matty back, trying for a half smile and murmuring into the gag-)
Leave Beth alone lil. She doesn't need a girlfriend.
*wishes she could delete that and decides to say it anyway*
It's everyone's and no one's fault, okay? The blame doesn't just fall on any one person.
...
If we all try to be a little more aware of others, that would be okay, right? We could still have fun while people are rping, but for those who want to talk, we should listen and try to be understanding...
I'm sorry...
And on another, completely random note:
FINALLY, the comment place is back to normal!(on the screen)
*removes Sil's gag and puts a finger to her lips*
*smiles*
Shh
(Now we've all said our piece lets talk about something else now
and stop beating the same horse with a stick)
(Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go)
(Someone follow on from me please (the song if you know it))
(-kisses his finger- was that a preview of what you were saying earlier in email that you refused to tell me matty? -smiles slightly:-)
*only knows part of the lyrics, remembers the melody though*
Liliana: I disagree.
(I am afraid Garrett I neither celebrate Christmas nor am willing to sing.)
*scowls* no! It most certainly wasn't... Although, I suppose it could be, if you wanted.
I guess you'll never know *grins*
I'm happy for you, Kal!
That the semester is almost over that is. I also get nervous when I have to give a presentation. :P
(-tilts her head at Sophs refusal to sing-)
Well I don't disagree
(-rolls eyes and cuddles matty- never? -pouts-)
(Ok soph )
(I feels you Lav (as in o i feel the same) that's the only part of the song i know.... )
(Last Christmas i gave you my heart but the very next day you sold it on ebay, this year to save it from tears I'll do it myself ) (i know that's not the song goes but its my parody of it....)
(You were expecting different, Silente?)
Bethany: I neither need nor want a girlfriend, Liliana.
*cuddles back*
If we're being honest, actually, I don't think you would have had much trouble convincing me. Although i doubt the answers are as elaborate as you expect.
(Does anyone want to ded?)
(I suddenly want to eat a pear. And yet I have no idea why.)
No problem, Kal. :)
*also pokes her*
Didn't you say you wanted that ded?
(nope i didn't, Lav
its on offer for anyone to use it)
That pear comment just made me hungry...
*didn't eat breakfast yet*
Oh, sorry, Rhos. I meant Kal. She said she wanted it earlier, so I was trying to remind her. Sorry. ^^'
Hello everyone :)
(Its all good Lav,
and yes Kalli did want the ded so Kalli if you read this, you have the ded ok)
Hello Octa, how be you?
Hiya, Octa. :)
No probs Kalli :)
Hear hear *hugs*
Aww, thanks, Kal. *hugs back*
But now I have to poof.
*is starting to wonder when poof became her new leaving word*
I think it used to be vanish before, that and I also never really had a word to say when I leave... Except-
Bye!
*poofs with a confused expression at why she decided to use the word again*
Goodbye lav
Ok Kalli,
Hello El, yup ww3 happened earlier
but at least its stopped....
So anyway how be you?)
Luckily i know fully well what it means.... )
(I'm alright thank you )
Goodbye El)
(I'm going to call it a night
Goodnight my lovely friends)
Good night, Gar!
Good bye, El!
Hello, Blogland.
I just can't.
Hello, Kal.
I wish you a good day.
(You guys just had to do it, didn't you?
You just had to keep pushing. And pushing. And pushing.)
(*is a guy*)
*hands Kal half of the cupcake back*
Thank you.
Sorry for disappearing.
Hello, Octa! Good day to you!
I am here now though.
*hands out hugs and maltesers*
S'okay, Kal. I barely see genders anyway.
*nibbles at the cupcake*
Good day to you too!
*stares at Kal*
Mslteasers? Um... Google it. They're sweets.
Yeah they are this type of sweet, made out of milk chocolate with a honeycomb centre.
Yup! UK needs more variety though. Not enough foods :(
I'm sorry, I'm finding it... difficult to talk to you guys when all I can think of is whether the people who left today will return.
And I'm angry. And scared. And worried. And useless.
So please forgive me if I am a little distant, or a little... off.
Kal, how many flavours of Snickers do you guys have?
Thought you guys had more than that, but you did say that you don't know all of them so...
In UK we don't have snickers flavours. We only have the base snickers.
That's 50% less snickers.
Now take all your favourite snacks and such, and remove at least 50% of them. And that's the UK for you.
:/
What about gatorade flavours?
I want some Australian biscuits tbh.
*noms happily on the snacks*
Gracious, you lot fill up these posts so quickly.
Interesting, how many of you who frequented this place some time ago now seem to have returned.
OK Kal
Hello, Kallista. I doubt I could answer your question. And while I recognize your intended kindness in giving me snacks, you may as well keep them. I won't eat them.
(Hello, Alastair.
I am Tia Halcyon, Chronomancer. (Male.)
I wish you a good day.)
Hello, Tia.
I suppose you could say that I've read all but the last, though I have no favorite.
*joins Kal in floating around the blog*
Kal, in UK we have exactly zero flavours of gatorade, which explains why I've never had any to drink.
I'll be going now. Good night, Kal, Octa and Alastair!
Night Tia!
It has been nice to see Thalia commenting on back to blogland.
Hope some more people comment too :)
Why do you imagine people have been coming back recently?
That seems quite reasonable.
I came back because Kal mentioned that she had been commenting here again and because it was nice to catch up.
I suspected there might be some influence to that effect that led people here, Octaboona.
That seems to be the case for quite a few people here.
Night Kallie!
*hugs*
I have to go too.
Night all!
*doesn't know the theme of the poem either*
*is distant*
But hi...
*realizes last comment was an hour ago*
Oh...
*starts singing*
Sadness swirls within me like the snow,
I've frozen out the only friend I'll ever know...
There's no way I can win, but I wish that I had been there for her long ago...
Life’s too short
To be such an oblivious fool
So reckless that I couldn’t see…
Life’s too short to be so desperate to be loved,
That I only ever thought of me…
I wish I saw things clearly,
I guess I’m just not the sort…
Now all I know
Is life’s… too… short…
Gotta go...
BYE BLOGLAND!!!!!!!
Too many exclamation marks? Oh well...
*leaves snacks and sweets for the next person to come on*
Kal is so infectious. :P
*poofs*
(-rolls around in a pile of air-)
IT'S SNOWING AGAIN!
YAAAAY! :D
Hello, by the way. It's been really quiet recently...
*wonders if more people will be on tomorrow because it's the weekend*
*is hoping*
(Hello.)
Hi Sophia. How are you?
(Hey guys! Sorry got distracted by Twitter..)
Exactly.
-stops healing Beth, satisfied she has enough energy now, and shuffles away, collapsing backwards in the grass-
(I am depressed, yourself?)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her tightly*)
Bethany: *kneels next to Silente* Are you alright?
(-hugs tightly back-)
Just tired. Should've had breakfast.
-curls up-
Didn't sleep either.
Hi Sil!
I am meh.
(hey lavender! -pokes-)
*pokes Sil back*
And how are you?
