Me Hate Spoilers

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.

A bit bored, I kind of want more people to come on now that it's finally the first of September for me

Ebony Law said...

-sighs-

Now would be substantial for a roleplay... But probably not, everyone seems tired. Adra, you up for it? I hardly am, but... I will. As usual.

((Why not- no one else seems to really care about the Ball... But hey- if more people come by we put it on hold. Agreed?))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

The wedding?
Well, Harry thinks we should have it in December, on the day we first met. 24th... I gave Louis a card for his birthday at the M&G and he saw the way we looked at each other and set us up. *blushes* But we don't have a confirmed date yet... *nods*

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Ahhh, well then...

Nice to meet you *curtsies*
I have to curtsy because I'm the Queen of the Flowers. I'm also a General, but I don't know what happened to that...*makes mental note to ask Luce*
You can call me Flora/Flo/Ophelia/Lia/Oi, you...anything really, just so long as I know you're talking to me :)

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Excuse you, I was the male who got the most dances last year.

Oh Mara, that's so funny.


They fail at what they're doing.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Can I be a Flower Princess?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Maralie NO SPOILERS

But I know I' m a BAMF.

*spins and a small circle* That's because you were one of the only males on.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

I second that, Adra! No spoilers! I'm not reading it until I'm on the plane on Saturday! :P

@Mara: hell yeah you can!
*throws flower petals over Mara*
I dub thee Maralie Lily Charm, Princess of the Flowers <3

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

But I was a pretty good dancer, and if I remember correctly, I had two girls fighting to be my blog-girlfriend.


*slows down and sways*

Noelle said...

I don't remember that...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

No spoilers. *nods*

Willow Storm said...

I'm sorry for what I said yesterday.I'm a horrible, selfish, inconsiderate person and I know that. I'm like that most of the time.. I just worry a lot.. About every thing, really. I'll try harder this time.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

I don't, but FYI.. I wasn't hitting on you.

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Anyone wanna dance? I kinda missed the whole ball...

Noelle said...

*rolls her eyes* That's a surprise- to find you not hitting on something. I swear you've come on to a tree- it wouldn't surprise me. *nudges him* I joke. Kinda.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*sits beside a tree*

So can I have yo numba?

Noelle said...

*gently shoves Flame at Cassidy* Goooo be freeeee

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

And Adra, I've only been with /four/ people on this blog.

Two were serious, the other two were.. Flings.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well we probably keep goibg to the next post unless a certain author can get on

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

*flies away into the sunset*

Noelle said...

Oh my god did you just leave

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

I might be leaving but you don't know that.

I just hope you won't /miss/ me too much.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*whips out frying pan and smacks Flame* No. Leaving.

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

*bows* Why, how could I not have addressed you by your title, Grand Mage? It would be disrespectful. And it is a rawRsome¡ title btw...

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

I have rope somewhere if we need it! *grins*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thank you! You are the first person to actually think that (even Derek wont address me as Elder Kerias and he was the one who told me I was an Elder)

Noelle said...

Yes that would be hilarious

Willow Storm said...

Oh my gosh. My friends are so weird.. They're bringing up Kyily again. -_-

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

I guess everyone must think of you as a good friend if they don't address you by your title. Not a bad thing :)

Chione Asahina said...

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Chione Asahina said...

I went to the Glasgow comic con in july but it was rubbish... the venue was too small and crowded, there was hardly anything to buy, hardly any people cosplaying, it was BOILING and just overall disappointing.

The Collectormania at braehead was way better, ive went to it 2 years in a row, I would highly recommend it, way better than the comic con.

Im setting high exexpectations for the SECC one.

Star Inkbright said...

HEY GEMMA! :)

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

*Skids across floor on punch.* *hits wall* *slides and stops beside Star* Falling is half the fun! ;)
