Edinburgh tomorrow, where LSODM will be on sale for a few hours, then whipped away again until the 29th, because we're mean...
So... spoilers. I hate spoilers. I hate them as a reader, and I hate them even more as a writer. I don't even like mild spoilers, such as "Just wait till you see what happens to Kenspeckle!" or "All I will say is... Mevolent."
I get it. I do. You have a piece of information that's bubbling inside you, and you want to share it but you know you can't, so you share a sliver, something you think is enough of a hint to be relevant, but not enough to ruin anything... and yet, even this is a spoiler, because it's alerting someone to something big that's coming up...
I happen to have readers who are very respectful to their fellow Skulduggery fans, a fact that still amazes everyone at Harper Collins. I know that's going to continue, but we all have to be vigilant about this stuff.
I write these books for you to read them, to discover them, to experience them, on a page by page basis. It sounds obvious, right? But spoilers wreck that.
Okay, I shall now stop talking about it. But if you see ANY shop selling LSODM before the 29th, tweet me and let me know.

«Oldest ‹Older 3401 – 3600 of 4942 Newer› Newest»At least I'm a flower princess. *nods*
*sniffs flowers*
I was supposed to meet Derek via Skype but i cant now so i spent all that time happy to just want to curl up crying
The flowers wont even want me, I'm a Necromancer
You want to cry?
Because of Derek
Don't even.
*leaves to sit with the flowers*
Actually my feelings of I probably am going to wanna stab him after LSODM because I have a feeling my love died
Zaf, what about the fact that it DID make you happy, for all the time you were looking forward to it? It might be a letdown that you don't get to Skype him, but for the time spend happy thinking that you could... That's still happiness.
And, perhaps you can manage Skype on a later date, if Derek can manage that too? I'm not sure what conditions he puts to it, if any.
But you don't have to let it ruin your day/days. You can still be happy, just not necessarily for the Derek-speaking. There are other things to enjoy, too, if you let yourself enjoy them. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Friend: I can ship you with Vex if Ravel dies right?
Me: No
Friend: why?
Me: Because Em will fly to America and murder me in my sleep as she threatened the moment Derek told me I interact with Vex
How did the flower elections go? I gather I didn't win?
#ChaseForBook9
Taia NJ was giving him the phone with me on it I think Derek would be too scared I would have explosives to Skype himself...*nods* I think he is petrified of what will happrn next year if I go over to Ireland I mean I promised not to bring my dynamite!
Gtg now. Bye
#ChaseForBook9
I didnt win anything nor does anyone want me to *vanishes*
Eh, I think as a god Derek isn't too fussed about being attacked with dynamite. Also, airport security would be pretty harsh on dynamite.
#ChaseForBook9
[Sighs]
Good things that happen to others do not exist solely to annoy you.
#ChaseForBook9
Jeez, it wasn't a popularity contest or anything.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye you two
I have got my copy!! YEHA
OH- Flora was made Queen. I'm a Princess, as is Taia. You're a prince, and Rhydian is a knight
Eh, makes sense.
#ChaseForBook9
Can I control the flower army? I've always been very good at that.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* Dunno
Is Em still here?
Em- *hug* Thanks, by the way. That does make me feel better...
But I seriously have ADD or something. I wouldn't put it past my genes.. .My brothers do.
But seriously.
-_-
*hums a jolly tune*
#ChaseForBook9
? What do you mean Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
...
Bye Zaf! I hope you're feeling better soon. ^^
Bye Rhydian! I your headache makes a steady recovery, if it didn't already. :)
Hi Trip! Hi Fabi! :)
Distant.
#ChaseForBook9
well done flower prince trip *bows*
Having a bit of a mental breakdown about school but not at the same time and it isn't that fun.
EM
EMMY
*waves her hand* Hellooooo
Oh. Okay then. I'm here I guess? Not a lot of help, but always a good beacon of advise based on what I see as the most logical course of action. *smiles* Yeah... I have no idea how many people my age I've given advice to as some kind of sage elder, when in fact I have no experience in the area.
But it normally works out fine!
#ChaseForBook9
the flower prince and princess *hands royal lightbulb*
Um... thanks? *puts royal lightbulb in a royal lamp powered by royal electricity*
#ChaseForBook9
so, where is your palace?
Oh right!
*hands Trip royal crown*
There. Crown 2.0
Yes my darling?
I am here but edits must be done by Friday or else there is no book to publish lol
Publish? Book? Awhatnow?
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* I wish I could be part of the flowers...
OH-
KEEP GOING THEN!
*waves her off*
I might be distant for a bit..
I'll be back later. Try not to miss me too much. *winks*
Zaf, maybe in stead of trying to guilt trip us into making you part of the flower monarchy, you could just ask?
#ChaseForBook9
Ffff-
Fishhook.
One of the keys on my laptop is broken.
Snapped off. Not in the 'removable' way, but in the 'a piece has broken off' way.
Which means damn, basically.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah I'm having my book 'Dublin Daes' published Trip...
I know, excite balls!!
And you can be part of it if you really want to Zaf.
... I lied i'm still here
Huzzah for you Em! I shall buy it and read it and enjoy it and shout huzzah when I finish it!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, okay then. Hello still here Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
well done Em, shall buy the book
Why ask when ill be told no? Because nobody wants a Necromancer part of anything
Zaf, nobody's excluding you, except for yourself - if you want to join in, then join in. Nobody's going to tell you that you can't. Why would they? :)
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* Hi
Em, are you going to force me to buy ten copies?
Can one of them be signed?
..
I know how it ends >:D
Zaf, you're jumping to conclusions. You should really ask us in stead of just turning us away.
#ChaseForBook9
do you have a flower army or flower palace?
That's because you read it when it was a blog story Adra lol that's cheating.
And when you buy the book, if you want it signed. Send it to me and I'll send it back.
Cause I love yas.
FLOWER POWER PALACE.
Or... I could get a free copy?
I mean,
I DID console you through the whole thing :P
Oh, I'm already in charge of the flower army. You could take the air force or navy though? Or we could rule the armed forces as...
I dunno the usual one is father and son but that doesn't really work. But my point remains. We could rule the armies of the flowers side by side!
#ChaseForBook9
Doesn't work like that bitch lol this is my job now and momma needs some dough.
What?
Zaf, with all due respect, that's slightly ridiculous. I have nothing against necromancers - you chose to practice death-magic, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy stuff that's not death.
Derek's a writer, but I'm sure he enjoys things that aren't just books, right?
Being a necromancers doesn't automatically make you mean. Maybe there are stereotypes, but Zaf can rise above those, can she not? :)
@Em: I look forward to getting ahold of it. :)
#ChaseForBook9
#ChaseForBook9
flower air force!!
Awesme, no divisions of power! I'm still supreme leader!
#ChaseForBook9
Fine, em
OH HELL

*hits her head against a wall really really really hard again and again*
NO
I AM SO DONE RIGHT NOW
I AM SO DONE
Is Flora still here??
Can I be part of this whole flower thing?
*mumbles* why ask I'm hated for my magic
Adra, what's wrong?
Calm Adra. Calm. Breathe. It's important to staying alive. Don't forget to breath. Channel your rage, use your fear. COME TO THE DARK SI-
Oh, wait, wrong speech.
Calm down Adra, use the fear to make a new one. :) It's what I do.
Too often. *glares at computer*
#ChaseForBook9
Yes Zaf. Flora has to appoint you or something. I dunno, I'm not really into all the bureaucracy. I just like the power.
#ChaseForBook9
... Did you really just pull a Star Wars on me.
Oh... hello btw^^ *waves*
Yes.
#ChaseForBook9
trip, you may be a flower prince, but you are not a jedi yet
*waves at Mith*
Wow. *laughs* Okay. "Do or do not, there is no try"
Then it wont ever happen i'm never on when she is *shakes head and goes to treehouse*
Ah, Star Wars. Gotta love it.
#ChaseForBook9
[Shrugs]
One of us will ask her then, or she'll have read the comments.
You're so pessimistic all the time.
#ChaseForBook9
THAT'S IT. [Facepalm]
#ChaseForBook9
It is very annoying isn't it?
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi, has your name always been THAT long??
Nobody will tell her because nobody will remember *shakes head* I always involve myself whrn nobody will want me...
*hides under a rose flower* Oh boy....
Ugh........
Stop being so passive aggressive.
#ChaseForBook9
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M BACK.
Only skim read the comments so don't know the exacts.
HIT ME WITH YO QUESTIONS BIATCHES.
What do people want to be?
#chaseforbook9
*laughs*
*hides under more roses*
Mith, no. I think Saph and I are having an unofficial competition for long names.
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* I just know how things turn out for me, nobody will tell her until the flower thing is over and I'll be left here all sad because I really didn't participate *shakes head*
Perfect timing, Flora!
#ChaseForBook9
flora, can i be a flower leutennant?
Zaf, Flora's here now^^ So YOU can tell her!
*SHAKES ZAF*
I
AM
RIGHT
HERE
Adra, thanks for the comments you left on my story. They made me laugh. ^^
Uh... could anyone email me what this flower thingy is actually about? Please?
HI MITHRIA! :)
I don't think she is, atm.
Or if she is, she's being veeerrrryy quiet about it. :P
Oh, wait, never mind - HEY FLORA! :)
HI DRAGONA! :)
#ChaseForBook9
My email: veronikagra10e@rsvit.org
Please please please! :)
*yelps* unhand me! And I dont know what to be...I hate following so I'm better off not part of it
It's just a load! There really isn't a point, I don't think. Not everything is serious you guys.
Also.
Jubi and I might have raided the bar /might/ not have
OH- no prob, Dragona
It started as a joke! An election for flower king/queen/monarchofindetermiategender! And now look at it! I'm resigning.
Ed, you are now supreme leader of the military, congrats.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, actually I'm going on minecraft RIGHT NOW!
#ChaseForBook9
@Ed: Yup! Of course!
Zaf, if you want to be a part of it you're welcome to be. If you don't want to be, that's fine. Just make your mind up.
#chaseforbook9
I summon thee, citizens of minecraftia to join me in song and drink at my bar to celebrate my return!
#ChaseForBook9
Great have fun I'll awkwardly once again wait while everyone goes to Minecraft
Why're you resigning Trip?
#chaseforbook9

EM

EM
EM
STOP HIM
I'm at school...
Damn.
Uh. Can anybody on a windows computer/laptop tell me, on the bottom row of the keyboard, does the Alt key or the Windows key come first?
Sorry for my distance, btw.
#ChaseForBook9
I guess I'll be part of it I just dont know what, I really am awful at following so..
it goes control, fn, windows, then alt :)
#chaseforbook9
Oh...
Oh well, just me then. I guess I'll restock on potions, check out what's new.
#ChaseForBook9
Hello? Could anybody please tell me what this all is about? I don't want to be annoying, sorry...
Taia: On my keybord the the windows key comes second. But I don't know if that helps as it is a german keybord and they are different to others...
supreme leader, hooray!
You know what? I think I'm done
With this gloom and doom, it's meant to be fun
So if all you can do is moan all the time
I'll be in some corner, scribbling rhymes
#ChaseForBook9
And I'll once again never get to go on! Ever. *stays in treehouse*
Restock...
O.O
Great I made Fabi leave! Just great....I knew this week was gonna be horrible...
Alright, thanks a lot Flora.
*sticks them back, in the correct places*
I'm such an idiot sometimes. :P
*nods* Well thanks anyway, Mithria. :)
As for what's going on, I'm no longer certain, either. ^^
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, did you like the 'shocking' part of the story?
Well, I'm Queen of the Flowers, Taia and Adra are Princesses, Trip is (?) a Prince, Rhydian is a Knight, and Ed is Lieutenant.
So...
Zaf, just pick something like that.
and, Mith, I don't really know how it started but suddenly we have a Flower Kingdom and I'm guessing we live in a the Flower Palace? :P
#chaseforbook9
me and trip started an election yesterday flora.
Fabi! Don't go!
JOIN US IN FLOWERYNESS!
<3
#chaseforbook9
Princess? If i'm allowed...if not I guess I'll just not participate which is fine
Flora, if I could join, I'd like to be... uh... idk... maybe a princess as well? I'm so not-creative... xD
Not-creative isn't actually a word, is it? *hides in shame*
It is now! *nods* Explosive trees
Im gonna go take a shower...
Is Trip not on the Blogland??
Hello everyone, just taking a break from the edits.

#chaseforbook9

Yup, it did Mith! :)
#chaseforbook9

#chaseforbook9
TRIP IS BREAKING INTO MY LAB
ARGH

*curls into a ball sobbing* LSODM....dispatched...in one week my friends I will be coming home on my second day of school crying holding the book...
Sorry I poofed. Adra did you see my question?
It went QUIET
[Screams]
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry for poofing. Applying glue to a part of one of the keys. Which sounds like a bad idea, and it probably was, but it was all I could think of. Glue won't do for the other one, though, I think I'll need a new part.
I haven't read up, but, Zaf, I don't have minecraft either. ^^
Wbd/msd
#ChaseForBook9
Best sandwich combination ever: turkey and cheese. It's great.
ADRASARDOS! Where is the god damned doorway!?

*stays with Javier* Oh...oh...*glances at hand with the stone fingers stiffening*
*sits on chair at top of pyramid* and the temperature is, 47 degrees
And the blurb or whatever to the new part would be:
Thomson and the crew of the SF-2 stopped Cerberus plans. He escaped the laboratory and threw their operation into disarray.
But they found a new test subject. Their plans continued. And now the Human-Reaper will be launched to destroy the SF-2 Falcon.
Oh god I didn't mean that...

I am, Edward
I dedicate this page to apples and grapes and cheese and turkey sandwiches because they're awesome.
And to Mass Effect as my tradition.
And to flowers, it seems, because there seems to be a LOT of talk about flowers for a reason I am not yet aware of.
Well I wonder what Dragona ate for lunch....

*rolls around* TRIIIIIIIHP
Yes?
#ChaseForBook9
WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOO
Zaf, I raelly hope you see this:
Just shut the fuck up, okay???
Everyone was having a really good time with the flower monarchs thing, and then YOU come along and ruin it all by moaning that nobody's including you. You don't just mention it ONCE, you keep goign on about it, even when everybody's made it PERFECTLY clear they have no objection to you joining in. And THEN you start moaning about how you can't go on Minecraft and you're feeling left out. News flash: YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITHOUT MINECRAFT. I don't have it either, and have I ever moaned about it?
Maybe I would just keep my mouth shut, if it wasn't for how you leave out otehr people with the roleplay. LOADS of people were feeling left out. And when some of us mention it, Adra and Ari and other people (they're not the only ones, just making that perfectly clear) really want to make things better and honestly care about people leaving people out. Sometimes, you just throw a hissy fit at us, and then people are sitting there crying and you're like "can we go back to roleplaying now im bored."
EVERYBODY leaves people out sometimes, but SOME of us have the decency to kept our mouths shut and let others have their fun. I'm not saying I've never moaned about being left out, but I AM saying that I try not to.
And the thing is, with the lower monarchs thing - YOU WEREN'T EVEN BEING LEFT OUT!!! Everyone was saying that you could join in, and then you were just like nobody'll let me join in, and everyone was like WE WILL, and you were just like "everybody hates me and leaves me out."
The sad thing is, me being this angry with you is becoming a bit of a regular occurence. Sometimes you don't see my rants, sometimes I delete them, sometimes I just don't write them, but the fact that this keep happening over and over is telling me that nothing is going to happen unless I say something and make you see it.
And you know *goes into anecdote mode*, my sister wanted to sit on all the vistors' chairs in the big house we wandered around yesterday (you know, the ones that are a bit like museums, except old big mansion houses places), and my brother was stopping her, and I asked him why, and he said it was revenge, and she said that that had been revenge. And I said, look, if one of you bes nice to the other one and just stops doing the whole revenge lark, the other one will be nice back to you, and you'll both be happy. Because it's true. If my sister just started being nice to my brother and stopped annoying him, then he would feel bad when he annoyed her and would stop doing it, and vice versa.
If you're a decent person, Zaf, you'll get a lot further in life.
If you're constantly selfish, people won't like you, and the people who constantly sit on the wall will have a massive go at you even though they know they'll be overcome with guilt later.
So grow up.
(My anger's dying down as time passes, and I can feel the guilt seeping into my bones already. Help! :P If I ever want to say anything to anyone, I always have to do it right then, whilst I'm still angry, otherwise the guilt will catch me and I won't say it. It's like I'm being hunted. :P So I'll have to post this really soon, before I delete it. XD)
#ChaseForBookNine
(really regretting that.)
(help.)
(helpppp.)
*hides under duvet*
*realises that guilt can SMELL*
Nooooooo.
Dammit.
I'm sorry.
:/
I get angry, and then I say a load of stuff, okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
imsorry.
Dammit.
You know, I always think I HAVE TO DO THIS STUFF BEFORE THE GUILT COMES, and then when it does come, I think, you idiot - NEXT TIME, REMEMBER THAT THE GUILT WILL COME AND JUST DON'T SAY ANYTHING, and then next time I remember that, and then I say it ANYWAY, and then I regret it AGAIN, so I just kind of go round in this depressing circle . . .
I'm sorry. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
I think I ought to go...
:O
Oh hot damn.
Thank you
Yeah, I'm just gonna leave, now . . .
(uh, that's leave FOR NOW. NOT leave for all time. Just making that ABSOLUTELY clear . . .)
#ChaseForBookNine
I agree with a lot of that, actually.
The thing is, she's likely to add that to her list of "everyone hates me"
I can't think of a way to put things in a way that will help her realize the world isn't out to make her life miserable...
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at what Fabi said too*
*silence*
I really- TRIPPPPPPP COME HEREEEE
*sighs* I probably should leave and never come back I really should it'll make everyone else happier nobody will stop me...I just think its for my best interest and everyone else...
*hugs Fabi and Adra* Thank you.
I know, Fabi.
And when I think about her as a person . . . that's when I regret it. :/
But then I look at it in a Morgan way and I don't regret it at all.
*frowns* I need nicer characters. :P My role models are fucked up. XD
I think I'm here . . . I'm writing, though, so could be distant. :/
