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.

Bye Rhydian.

Hello Adra, Veracruz.

Noelle said...

Hi Fabi

And then don't explode. I doubt alcohol goes well with fire

Veracruz Igniferous said...

Who told you that? We go awesomely together! It just makes me stronger. Also, it's just delicious. Thanks for the concern, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

It was more concern if my not being caught in an explosion more than your safety.

Noelle said...

Why would I want to raid my boyfriend's bar?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

You don't have to be THIRSTY to raid the bar.

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew stumbles in, holding onto his chest and stomach in pain. The blackness flitting in and out of his eyes. His body spasming*

Ad...ra...

*stumbles onto the ground*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

BECAUSE IT'S FUN, ADRA!

Noelle said...

Right. Hand on just a second Jubi... Let me deal with him, then... Then we'll go
*painfully gets to her feet, kneeling by Drew* Brother?
*touches his forehead*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OK!!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Maybe another time, Jubio. It looks like we may have a problem.

[Watches Adra and Drew and remembers annoying fact that I know nothing about medicine]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Fabi you're so serious about this. *chuckles slightly, worried*

Emerald Melody said...

*pushes her hand off his forehead*

Don't worry about me, you have to listen

*the blackness passes back and forth over his eyes*

Deacon... he's after the palace of light. *coughs as body spasms* It's buried deep under Blogland, no one has heard of it in years.

But Chase... Chase was a Guardian of Light. And the only way to get shown the way is for ying and yang to cross

*body spasms as he hisses in pain*

He's already made Em the dark side of the two... now he just needs the light...

*screams in pain again*

Noelle said...

Drew!
* leans over him, unable to hold him down with her hurt wrist*
What?
Drew- listen to me fight it!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*slams the door open, stumbling in* God... those runecasters really pack a punch.

Em?

What's going on?

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*raises eyebrows*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm always serious, unfortunately.

Except for when I'm not.

Yeah...

That sounds...Positively delightful.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Well that's a surprise.. Another late one, then?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Tosses Jubi a peanut butter cup]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

You are positively delightful..

Drew- wait! Who is the light?
*is horribly confused*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Chase?

Would make sense.

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*body spasms again as the blackness is trying to take over*

*grits his teeth*

Adra... he's planning on digging up Chase and summoning his spirit.

If he gets ying and yang together... he'll get shown the way to the palace

*yells in pain*

Noelle said...

*Winces*
Like hell that bastard will- tell him he won't even live to see it. He has to get through us.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

God, people who bring people back to life are such jerks.

I'm gonna finish this once and for all this time. Either I leave, or he does. *goes upstairs*

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

Adra...

*breath catches in his throat*

I can't fight this...

If you can't cure me, please just kill me.

*screams in pain as his back arches*

Noelle said...

*blinks*
*Murmurs* Goodnight to you too..

Emerald Melody said...

I ded to late night roleplaying!!!

Such a good way to wind down before bed.

Noelle said...

Dammit, Drew- no. We will get you out of this, I promise. Just hang in there, okay? Keep fighting

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Stays uncertainly silent]

((Msd))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...
