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!

Hi Jubilance!
Meow. Hey jubi :)
CHIONE!! AMETHYST!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI!!
*hugs back*
Hello! How are you?
*explodes
I'M GOOD!
I just had my first debate in debate club and we won :D
ZAF!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI!
Hai Jubi! *giggles*
DYNAMITE
*sighs and shakes her head* Zaffy...
((gtg guys, getting up early tomorrow. Night! *hugs everyone*))
BAI CHIONE!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
Dynamite indeed, Zaf ;)
If anyone is still on I'm gonna officially go now... Cya
hello...?
Brain says no.
Fucking Hell Em. I love you.
Because I'm bored, I'm gonna do a "True, Half True, False" thing about myself. If you don't know what that is, it's a thing where I write 3 things about myself. One will be true, one half true and the other false. So:
1. When I was younger, I used to pretend my favorite book characters were actually real and talked to me.
2. I used to, and still kind of do, think the wind talks to me.
3. I used to pretend that my dog could talk.
so, guess away. Which is true, which is half true, which is false?
Bored
Anyone on?
No?
*starts pacing around in a circle* hmm.. bored bored bored...
*starts to look around properly*
*shrugs at her surroundings*
*sits and pulls out her hankercheif*
*pulls out her daggers*
*begins methodically cleaning each dagger*
*finishes cleaning the first dagger*
*starts on the second one*
*works hard to remove the dirt*
*finally finishes cleaning it*
*smiles and puts her hankercheif back into the hidden pocket in her dress*
*looks down at her daggers and looks at her reflection, wondering what it felt like to feel old*
*stands and looks for something to use as a target*
*settles her eyes on a tree with a very skinny trunk*
*smiles and takes aim at the middle of the tree*
*throws her dagger*
*watches it turn end over end as it whistled through the air*
*smiled as it met its mark with hardly a sound*
*walked over to the tree and removes the dagger in one swift pull*
*frowns and sits again*
*starts sharpening her daggers*
*finishes sharpening daggers*
*puts them away in their sheaths*
*stands and walks around*
Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says "I'm sorry, we don't serve noble gases here." He doesn't react.

#ChaseForBookNine
There's a band called 1023MB. They haven't had any gigs yet.
XD XD XD
#ChaseForBookNine
OMG OMG OMG AN ACTUAL PERSON INSTEAD OF BLOG TREES! HELLO HELLO HELLO!
((I like that second joke))
Thanks. :)
My dad linked me to a page for jokes that only intellectuals would understand.
I understood most of them I think . . . ?
HELLO!
What's wrong with blog trees? :( Mel's a blog tree!
#ChaseForBookNine
Nothing it just, you know, I've been alone for like an hour with just blog trees around me...
:(
Aw . . .
If I suddenly distonate, btw, I've found something to do. D: Sorry if that happens.
Is Blu-Tac not brilliant?
#ChaseForBookNine
Blu-tak is great! And okay then I don't mind if you have something to do. Entertainment and stuff is important and without it we would be real bored and I don't know what I'm saying but its something and I'm going to stop about now
WHY IS THE SQUARE ROOT OF MINUS ONE i?
IT MAKES NO SENSE!
Sorry, emailing . . . D:
Blu-Tac is ace. :) Been fiddling with it today to try and stop myself fiddling with the skin around my nails and IT'S SO FUN TO FIDDLE WITH.
I don't think there is a square root of minus one . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah it either says error, i or something else when you try... but I thought every number had a square root... wait do negatives have square roots? Is that possible?
They don't.
Wow.
Cool.
Oh god that's creepy. I was just thinking about it that time..
Hey! Your timing is real creepy... like REAL creepy.
Andddd she's gone.
Hey Chione! :)
CHIONE YOU CREEPY MONSTER. :O
@Silente: I read in Northern Lights that Adam and Eve were like the square root of minus one. There is never any concrete proof that it exists, but if you include it in your calculations you can discover all manner of things that couldn't be imagined without it.
Take that as you will. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay then. :-)
Isn't there normally more people on at this time...?
*cough* frozen *cough*
*cough* frozen *cough*
*cough* frozen *cough*
*crouches and waits*
I am not a creepy monster! that is cruel...
OH MY GOSH!
*laughs*
@Chione: Sorry. D: I didn't mean it seriously . . .
@Silente: Probably. :P I don't know. I haven't been online much recently, so . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh god *facepalm* I seriously don't mean this...
*lunges* *wraps arms around chio* HA you can't wander of now! Hey. I didn't say you were a monster...just a little creepy..
Oh wait star called you a creepy monster. Nm. And I know you don't mean it, but when your frozen senses tingle you just gotta come on. :-)
*still has arms around chio*
*laughs* I laughed so hard at Taia's comment last night... oh god xD
It is really creepy that happens every time. And sorry Silente, I was typing up chapter 14.
Me too. I'm fairly certain you do have some sort of Frozen sense I mean ever time without fail..
Is fine. I'm reading a weird page about how to pass the time when your bored, I had noting else to do.
I know xD although there will be times it will not work because I won't have it open at all or I'm busy.
Don't get your hopes up.
@Silente: Make something for someone.
You have fun doing it, and then afterwards, you give it to them, and even though it looks crap, they get so happy about it and they thank you so much and then you're just like :O :O :O O_O O_O O_O and it's such a good feeling. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Well. It MIGHT not work... although in all honesty I could imagine you sitting in class then suddenly you sit up straight and are like
"Frozen reference! Blog land, 2:47, Silente, Frozen frozen frozen, must leave!" Then running out randomly.
*laughs* XD XD
#ChaseForBookNine
xD omfg Silente xD
:D yeah, could definatly imagine that.
People still sing Frozen sings and every time I hear them I still join in. Today my friends Emily was singing 'do you want to build a snowman' and 'let it go' and I joined in. Of course.
Songs**
Of course they still sing Frozen songs. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Obviously. My friend keep getting annoyed (in a friend way) at me because I randomly break out singing froze songs and they're just there like "Nooo. Not again!" And I'm there singing happily..
GOD I HATE SOME PEOPLE! People have had a go at people who created frozen for 'promoting' homosexuality and beastality! Just because of Kristof and Sven! Screw them!
. . . What the hell do they mean, 'promoting' homosexuality, anyway?
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh wow...
Cause both Sven and Kristof are male so apparently it promotes homosexuality. Even though he's more of a brother in the film than a boyfriend.
. . . 'Promoting' homosexuality?
Is there anything wrong with homosexuality?
(urgh)
#ChaseForBookNine
I know right. It was some christian radio person or something.
If Frozen 'promotes' homosexuality, then good for them. *mutters*
#ChaseForBookNine
Urgh. -_- I think I know the people you mean. Those idiotic Christian people are so annoying.
(Note - not talking about most Christians here. I'm talking about the Christians who also happen to be idiots. That shouldn't offend anybody, but if it does, apologies.)
#ChaseForBookNine
stupid people always find stupid reasons for making something "wrong"
Yeah. That type of person (the snooty annoying ones)) is so annoying! Like a boo whoo! Homosexuality isn't bad, grow up! God!
@Jubi: We're human. *sighs*
#ChaseForBookNine
And humans have flaws.
Humanity... -_-
MY FAITH IN YOU IS GROWING SMALLER BY THE SECOND
Brb guys, I'm going to buy some chocolate and maybe also make a hot chocolate....
Okey
GUYS IT'S PI DAY! MARCH 14TH!
3 14
3.14
PI!
HI, btw! :)
*laughs at the irony of that 'God'*
And, yeah. :P Haha, you know the Christian idiots who go around on YouTube saying that bands are evil because they have tattoos and ridiculous things like that?
Well, I experienced someone doing that
on a song about the Bible
made by a band of Christians
and I was just like WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.
(In milder language, obviously)
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay, Silente. ) Good luck!
#ChaseForBookNine
And then there are those schools that promote creationism...
And then the people who won't let their kids read Harry Potter because Dumbledore's gay...
And then those people who think that abortion should be illegal...
ugh
Guys I just posted Chapter 14. I personally think this is one of the funniest and saddest chapters I have posted yet. There is a funny argument between Anton and Saracen and you also learn more about the Element 4's backround.
Isn't Dumbledore more seen as a paedophile than as gay? *frowns*
Ah, I can probably rant about abortion. :P
(Killing babies is never okay, but sometimes it's not okay to make people keep them, either, so therefore whatever you do, it's not okay.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well it's also because it promotes witchcraft and worships false gods or whatever..
I don't even know
Oh, yeah. :P
That's why LOTR was banned . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
How are you, anyway? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Pfft people..
and I'M GOOD! :)
Today's the last day of school before spring break so my history teacher just let us work on outlines for our term paper in the library...
which is something that I should probably start doing...
How are YOU?
Am back guys! Chio I like the new chapter, you have a grand daddy! :-)
@Jubi: YAAAAY! :) :)
We have to wait until Easter for
our next holiday . . . *sighs* :P
I'm good, thanks! :)
IT'S FRIDAY so yeah. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
HELP ME
I NEED TOPICS FOR AN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH
Hey Mycroft. Topics?
Awww thank you Silente!
EMBER!! *Superemgatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI
WB SILENTE! :P
no cheeseburgers
YES TOPICS
@Ember: EXLANATORY PARAGRAPH WHAT?
Hey, btw! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*EXPLANATORY
*facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Jubi!
:)
I have to say something factual and back it up with factual stuff
@Ember: Right.
Left.
Um.
NO IDEAS. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
ERM....topic.
FACT! Skulduggery Pleasant is an amazing book series. Ta daaa topic.
D:
Good point! But it has to be... not an opinion.... by a teacher's pov.
FROM NOT BY
Fact: Skulduggery Pleasant is an amazing book series that is well liked.
Then back it up with:
Lots of loyal fans
Lots of books sold
Series is still going
Possible film in the making.
Yep *points at Silente* Good plan.
Silente did you like the Saracen and Anton bit? :3
Yeah. How long did it take you to write it?
BACK DAT FACT UP
...
I'm just about to kill a character off. D:
I think.
I might keep her alive, but I can only keep so many of them alive, can't it?
#ChaseForBookNine
PLEASE SQUASH HER WITH A PIANO
THERE'S NO PIANOS AVAILABLE. :P
I might keep her alive and keep her in play for a bit and then kill her off later.
Hmm.
(That's all my minor characters do, really. Hang around a bit, find a back story, and die. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
It really didn't take me long at all. Maybe like 20 minutes?
LOTS OF LOYAL FANS- We are all over the world. We wait for hours just to get our books signed and spend time with the author.
LOTS OF BOOK SOLD- numerous book stores runout of stock on the first day of publication.
SERIES STILL GOING- The author of skulduggery pleasant is still writing skulduggery pleasant books.
POSSIBLE FILM IN THE MAKING- after a tug of war between Disney and Derek the rights lie with Derek. This shows there might be a movie as they were fighting over the rights for it.
BACKED, UP!
Only 20 mins? That not really too long is it...wow
My chapters are generally 1500-3000 words, and they take . . . idk how long, I generally don't write them all at one. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Wow. Silente, you're good at this.
And Star, the thing about the backstory and dying? That's what everyone does.
I tried writing once but I got stuck half way through and still haven't finished...
Of course I am Mycroft, I have two elder siblings and a younger one two, I'm used to arguments. This was just a civilised argument :-)
Hah xD
So. Ta daaa topic :-)
You know what... I think the frozen songs that were stuck in my head for so long are fading...
What about Frozen?
@Silente: Yay! :)
@Ember: My characters can sometimes only exist for a chapter, though . . . :P
@Silente: Ha! I never usually get past the first two or three chapters.
However, my story with Hunter in it currently has, um, thirty-two chapters, 108 pages, and 60672 words!
*cheers*
(Furthest I've ever got with anything and yet it's not really GOING anywhere. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
The songs are fading! They aren't floating round like angry bees in my head anymore! I can't hear them.
@Silente: THAT'S GOOD THING! :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I know, however chio may disagree...and also its a little bad. There's empty space in my head. Its real quiet...
You can always find more songs. I wouldn't recommend it, though. I can't make up stories properly when there's songs cluttering up my head. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Plus, positives and negatives . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
No! I'll try stay clear minded for a bit... if I can...
Every one is really distant...
Sorry. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Its fine I'm just a bit lonely is all. Well not lonely so much as bored... its cause I'm not deafening myself with music.
*Randomly appears next to Star*
HELLO THERE GOOD SIR
@Silente: I just put music on right now . . . :P
HELLO BLAKE. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
*raises brow skeptically * sir? She's a bubble. And a she. And a bubble but I don't think she's a sir...
*Hugs people*
How's everyone on this fine Friday evening?
*dodges hug* yeah Friday nights good.
Silente I don't care what it's gender is I'm calling it a sir.
How's your Friday night?
It? Maybe say the name not it. Why will you still say sir if they're not a sir?
Yes I will good sir x3
Anyway....how are you Blakey boy. Mr Soul. Erebus the avenger. Etc etc
@Blake: Fairy nuff. :P
Well, Adra uses 'bitch' as an insult for all genders . . . :P
I'm good. :) It's Friday night. You?
#ChaseForBookNine
Meh. Got a ton of stuff to do and I'm lazy so times could be better. "Blakey boy"..?
Idk I'm in a good mood. I make nicknames when I'm in a good mood. I'll stick with Blake.
Ha! :P I'm lazy too. Plus it's Friday.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE I HAEV TO DO THINGS ON FRIDAYS. :P
(Plus my sister's in the room and I don't like doing stuff with people there.)
(I wish she would go away.)
#ChaseForBookNine
On the subject of names what would happen if a vampire discovered its true name?
Tell me about it Star, had to have my laptop downstairs in the living room for the longest time and people were always looking over me shoulder
@Silente: I do not know! *floats happily upon sea of ignorance*
@Blake: -_-
My family laugh at me because I pull the laptop screen down/shut my book/turn my sheet over whenever anyone comes in. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hmmm I'm going to ponder this question.
Okay so if a sorcerer discovers their true name first they can bind it and then they become all powerful. But they can already use magic. Where as a vampire changes and that is the extent of their magic. So if a vampire learnt it true name the question is would the magic used to change be enhanced or would they get their old powers and more back...hmmm
@Silente: I do not know!
*discovers an island of ignorance in the middle of the sea of ignorance* *lands upon it* *eats pineapples* *sends out messages in bottles* *which no one will understand coz they're too ignorant and can't read* *builds a ship* *stops building my ship coz I need to get water out of the trees* *lives in a cave* *whistles ignorantly*
#ChaseForBookNine
Maybe it would simply become far faster and stronger, maybe it would retain some form of control and therefore magic, maybe just magic. Anything really.
*explodes*
aaaaaaaaaand there's Zaf giblets all over me. Wonderful.
*is blissfully far away from the explosion in the island of ignorance up a tree of ignorance*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey zaf!
On skulpedia it says how true name when sealed provide more power. It say about all the effects/abilities but it doesn't mention about undead creatures discovering their true names... what do you think zaf? What would happen if a vamp discovered its true name?
One minute I want to see what chione thinks
FROZEN
FROZEN
FROZEN
CHIONE GET YOUR BUTT ON HERE!
Hmm you may be able to control your turning
*laughs* XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes? *tilts head*
Yeah that's what me and Blake were thinking but then we wondered if they'd get other abilities.. like Erebus is stronger, faster and generally better at magic than Kor/Blake (no offence intended there)
Hey (your timing) wh do you think would happen if vamp learnt its true name and got it sealed?
OH MY GOSH!!! XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Ye star. Every time so far without fail she's popped up when frozen is mentioned. Its so weird but kind of handy. So what da yes think chio?
Hmm... well it's cool to think you may control you're turning which would be awesome, that's a good idea. Or maybe something like wolverine when you could maybe choose what parts of your body turn. Like say, normal human body with the fangs and the claws?
Yeah. Do you think they'd have abilities or just the ordinary vamp stuff.
Just ordinary stuff but just more powerful.
Kk. I think I agree with you. Maybe their seen and strength would be enhanced as well though since they are typical vampire traits as well as the grace, fangs, claws, blood lust and genre vampiryness.
*speed not seen
It's be stronger but like I'm not sure...
Someone should ask Derek this sometime. Challenge his brain.
Sorry I was away for a little while
@Silente: None taken, Erebus is way more powerful than I'll ever be
Yeah don't have to tell me that twice. I managed to make you unconscious. Erebus however....*shudders* yeah.
Gemma Verlaque: Short-term memory loss, Short attention span, amazing timing, loves snow and ice and the colour blue.
What else should I add?
@Chione:Beautiful?
Ice warrior. Frozen sense. Little bit scary. Loyal. Frozen sense.
Did I mention frozen senses?
*grins* I love playing with dynamite
Yes Silente, yes you did
Blake shh...that one is only Chione.
Ice warrier - Chione.
Frozen sense - yup.
Loyal - meh, I guess.
Scary - both.
Yes you do
*watches zaf carefully* maybe too much..
Awesome? Or is that only chione?
Owch...That hurt Silente ;_;
What it was an honest question! You said only chione was beautiful so... *shrugs* I'm guessing your both awesome
We're both awesome. I'm just not pretty. She is.
You MIGHT be pretty. You wouldn't know. Plus it depends who you compare yourself too. If you compare yourself to supermodels and what not then no you won't think of yourself as pretty. If you compare yourself to something ugly then your beautiful!
You are to liar <.<
I can't tell if that was helpful or sounded mean again...
Chione is beautiful.
And it doesn't matter what the hell she looks like, she's still beautiful to me. :)
