This year is the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. To celebrate, Puffin Books asked eleven different authors to take a Doctor and write a story. When I was asked, I said I'd only do it if I could write for the tenth or eleventh incarnation. Puffin gave me Ten. I was a happy bunny.
It was such a joy to write this character. As you all know, I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid, and David Tennant holds joint top-spot with Matt Smith as my favourite Doctor. In my opinion, it was Tennant's era when the Doctor's love of dialogue really came out— that quick-fire patter that he does so well — and it was an absolute pleasure to channel that.
The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage will be released as an e-book on October 23rd (my birthday! Skulduggery's deathday!) and then it, along with the other stories, will be collected into a PHYSICAL book which will be out near the end of November.
There will be a video released in a week or two where I talk more about it, but in the meantime, here's a link to a snippet (which explains where the somewhat old-fashioned title comes from...)

"thou duth protest to much, me thinksies"
Indeed, Jubilance. Whate'er thought my head doth chance upon is torn out in most archaic English I can muster. If the mood strikes me, it cometh out rhyming, and in iambic pentameter. I must confess, I nearly turned that rhyming bit which in my haste I wrote into a full-fledged sonnet, and I would have, were it not for the tediousness of the whole thing.
#ChaseForBook9
Greetings once more. Jubab, it is a pleasure to see thou. I have missed thy presence :)
i truly cannot understand you fab. might you be able to construe, jubi?
"For mine own part, if I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in my heart to bestow it all on your worship." ~Dogberry
It matters not that thou dost understand, only that thou dost listen.
#ChaseForBook9
My lady Sapphire! A good morrow to you!
#ChaseForBook9
*fist pumps* i was able to use "construe" in a sentence!! that was my challenge for today... i am so sick of the holidays that i am starting to challenge myself to use strange words in sentences... i am odd
"One word, sir: our watch, sir, have indeed
comprehended two aspicious persons..."
Forsooth, I would I could play the role of Dogberry... He maketh less sense than even I.
#ChaseForBook9
Fabienne, I doth find iambic pentameter a noble and intricate weapon to wieldeth upon my enemies.
(Wbd, making a model of the NZ Sanctuary)
i have to go, you odd-balls, you!! see ya!
Ellissa stuck to the shadows of the tall, destroyed buildings as she slowly made her way through the wasteland. Two days ago this city had been bustling with people of all nations. It had been a very famous city indeed until the attack. She wasn’t allowed to even think of the attack on New York, it was one of the rules of The Game. The Sunset Hunters were already out and searching for their next meal; the Convicts which Ellissa was. A sharp crack of a whip echoed throughout the city and she knew that they’d caught her scent.
She started to sprint to the nearest building, its heavy wooden door had been blown in and the windows were barred and barricaded with metal sheets. She looked around quickly and realised it was a tavern. Alcohol lined the walls behind the metal counter and an idea sprang to her mind.
She strained to pull up the door and shove it across the doorframe. Her fingers clasped her iWeld, a wonderful little handheld welder made by the marvellous Apple, and melted the metal doorframe. The door stayed where it was to her satisfaction. She placed her iWeld back in its charging pack in her back pocket of her leather pants.
Another crack. A scream of pain then brutally cut off with a strangled gurgle.
XD
MY DEAREST SAPPHIRE!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG
How hast thou been?
Fabienne, if there should be a persons with the fortune to match, nay, to impost the thick fog that weaveth around thy words, I shall be vrailly astounded.
Adieu, good Snow, adieu.
Ay, Saph, thine enemies have much to fear from thee.
#ChaseForBook9
((iWeld? XD Oh my gosh, though, Deathy...!
[Bows to Saph] I do my best.
#ChaseForBook9
iWELD! XD
Greetings Death Rose! How perchance thou upon this fine evening?
Jubab, I hath been around and throughout this 'Blogland' world, with the grace of roleplay. And yet I must always yearn for you :'( ;)
SO LONG MADAME STORMBERG!
Yes, yes... I do tend to have that effect on people *Nods and drinks tea with pinkies pointed up*
Jubab, how hast thou been?
Death, I must confess a deep admiration for the words you have carefully crafted true.
Fabienne, thy best hath outshone all hopes.
I have been very well, Dearest Sapphire. Many happenings have happened to me over the past few days. *nods again and sips tea*
Thy words of praise are far to high for my humble attempts at archaic language. [Bows politely to Saph offers crumpets to everyone]
#ChaseForBook9
No one dis my iWield... Apple rules the world...
CAN I HAZ AN iWELD? :D
Sure! *Tosses Jubab an iWeld*
THANK YOU DEATHYYYYYYYYYYY :)
*melts something*
Uh... That was probably a bad idea...
[Considereth]
I shall, mayhap, be shortly on my way.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay, Cryptic!
My deepest apologies for temporarily succumbing to distraction.
Forsooth, Deathy, may I perchance acquire an iWeld? (Fabienne, it came unto my head that iWelds would be an excellent addition to MageBay)
Of course! *Tosses an iWeld at Sapphy* It's a special flame that doesn't hurt your eyes!
*Catches iWeld* Many thanks, my dear friend :)
Verily, they would, though I would admittedly be uncertain about selling an item that someone else invented...
I would volunteer to purchase one as well, but my magical abilities would mean that I would have no need of utilizing one, no matter how interesting it is.
#ChaseForBook9
Go for your life, Fab. I don't mind. You take the credit! :D I don't really care about them... You just but 'i' in front of an object!
*Tosses an iWeld to Fabi anyway*
Fabienne, your magical abilities are the very reason I purchased such an item >:D
(Wbd, answering emails from my friends who have all gone on holiday D: #Jealous)
-I continue walking through the forest, my necklace swaying, holding a thin pink glowing crystal shard, the bottom of it black-
(Rose, I didn't leave because you came, it was just inconvenience. Sorry.)
[Catches the iWeld]
Thou has my most humble thanks.
I do not, however, use the intellectual property of others without properly crediting them for their brilliant work.
#ChaseForBook9
It just seems that every time I come on you're hear, Trace, that you vanish...
Thanks Fab..
A good morrow to thee, Trace.
#ChaseForBook9
And now I must take my leave.
Night!
#ChaseForBook9
Night Fab...
We scream
We shout
And we are the fallen angels
Greetings, Trace.
Fabienne, I have not yet complimented thou on thy title. I find it perfect.
Oh. Bye Fabigail! (Wbd, working on my building)
Ellissa stuck to the shadows of the tall, destroyed buildings as she slowly made her way through the wasteland. Two days ago this city had been bustling with people of all nations. It had been a very famous city indeed until the attack. She wasn’t allowed to even think of the attack on New York, it was one of the rules of The Game. The Sunset Hunters were already out and searching for their next meal; the Convicts which Ellissa was. A sharp crack of a whip echoed throughout the city and she knew that they’d caught her scent.
She started to sprint to the nearest building, its heavy wooden door had been blown in and the windows were barred and barricaded with metal sheets. She looked around quickly and realised it was a tavern. Alcohol lined the walls behind the metal counter and an idea sprang to her mind.
She strained to pull up the door and shove it across the doorframe. Her fingers clasped her iWeld, a wonderful little handheld welder made by the marvellous Apple, and melted the metal doorframe. The door stayed where it was to her satisfaction. She placed her iWeld back in its charging pack in her back pocket of her leather pants.
Another crack. A scream of pain then brutally cut off with a strangled gurgle. Ellissa went cold. Fear locked her body and she scrambled back and behind the bar. Three heavy footsteps echoed outside. Crack. Crack. Crack. Another scream, a child’s. It hurt her, not being able to save the young girl screaming. She couldn’t breathe. There was too much pressure on her. She knew the Sunset Hunters would be upon her within moments.
She forced herself to stand and pulled out a bottle of whiskey. She bit her lip, deliberating before she opened the top and took a swig. She wiped her lips and poured the rest of the brown liquid on the counter. Taking her iFlame out, another wonderful Apple product, she set the bar on fire. The heat hit her and she threw herself to the ground.
Crack. Thump. Crack. THUMP! She crawled away from the flames and peeked around the side. The door was getting a pounding. Heavy fists continued to slam into the metal, leaving deep imprints in the door.
“ELLISSA!” Someone shouted from outside, their voice full of fear. Heavy footsteps chased after the voice. Vincent? Was that Vincent’s voice..?
Before she could think twice, she was at the window, iWeld in her grasp on its highest setting. “I’m coming!” She shouted and kicked to barricade out. She scrambled through, burning her hands and legs on the hot metal. “VINCE!?” She looked around, her fists ready for the Sunset Hunters metal exterior. She saw a man running towards her and she ran towards him.
“El, what are you doing?” Vincent demanded, looking around before embracing her tightly.
“You… You needed my help…” She said wearily. Something was off. Something wasn’t right. She tried to get out of her older brother’s embrace but his arms were locked hard on her.
“You should’ve stayed where you were… You shouldn’t have tried to deceive me, darling.” Two large robots with pulsating blue chest plates took up position on either side of Ellissa and Vincent. “But that is your fatal little flaw, isn’t it? You can’t leave a friend behind, even after they killed your parents.”
“Our parents…” She whispered. Her hand moved slightly and the iWeld burned the back of Vincent’s head. He screamed and tried to push her off him but within seconds, her brother was dead; a whole melted through his skull.
Ellissa sprinted forward and ducked out of the reach of the Sunset Hunters. She ran into an alley and up a fire escape. The Hunters were after her, flying a few meters above her and crushing the metal and restricting her way up. She swore loudly and got out her iWeld. “Come on!” She shouted. “Come on!” She waited for the Sunset Hunters to finish her off, for her life to be crushed like the metal bars surrounding her.
(Can we roleplay guys? ;-;)
Sure.... Sorry... Being yelled at...))
*tiptoes in*
#ChaseForBookNine
Anyone else feel really sorry for Niccolò, having Zaf pushing at him all the time?
#ChaseForBookNine
I've discovered a version of Afterlife with more violin in it . . . it sounds better. :) That chorus is just . . . whazam. :)
Sorry, electric guitar! I still adore you! :P
*floats away on cloud of beautiful music*
Oh, wait. It doesn't have the solo in it. *frowns*
Okay, don't like that bit.
And I don't like the bridge as much. It's TOO violin-y.
Alright. They draw. :)
AND - my Avenged Sevenfold playlist has just become the third playlist to reach 70 videos.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
(Sorry for the spam, but there's nobody here. I'm bored. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah, Zaf seems really off her feet at the moment...
Yeah...
That's why I'm not on a lot...
Not even here now...
Hello people *waves*
Sorry I poofed, did stuff like go to the post office . . . I think I just posted two letters without stamps. *facepalm* I assumed they already had stamps on (they had addresses on and all), but maybe they didn't, and I only thought about it afterwards . . . D:
Here now, I think. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey star.

#ChaseForBookNine

*looks around for a conversation starter that hasn't been eaten*
#ChaseForBookNine

Hi Chi:) can i call you Chi? or would you prefer Chione?
I mean good. Im good.

@Eld: That's good. :)
I just searched for a lyrics vid for this song and on the first page, there's one by xxblackvalentinexx, one by theonlyreega, one by ebmusicman16, and one by BestxLyrics . . . I'm just like YAAAAAAAY HELLO.
It's so odd how you feel like you get to know people on YouTube and yet you've never spoken to them or had them spoke to you or seen them or anything . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
@Eld: Being good is good and being God is good. :)
Yes, please. :)
#ChaseForBookNine

Long names? Short names? Errr . . . :/
*is bad with names :P*
I have like five characters in my story in my head that don't have names because I haven't got round to creating them. XD
#ChaseForBookNine

like a semi-evil, long named character...
i guess.
or you can shout random names at me and ill be like 'ooh that sounds nice'
. . .
No idea. :P
*racks brains*

#ChaseForBookNine

☂PRINGLES ARE AWESOME!☂
((It was a lovely dream...aah))

☂☂floats into the sky, gets electrocuted by thunder☂☂
☂Gah.☂
wHY THE HELL DID THE FIRST EPISODE END LIKE THAT
WHY
THAT'S DEPRESSING
WHYYYYY
*cries in corner and continues to next episode*
((Noooo I'm not here!! Well, okay, I am distantly, but I didn't start my homework and I'm meeting some old friends for lunch so I have to get this done before then :/
*is crying because of pain, fear and exhaustion* *looks at Moriarty* What do you want from me? Please...
☂☂hog-ties Adra☂☂
☂YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE I SAID SO☂
☂☂creepy smile☂☂
☂Also because you can never leave, you know??☂
☂☂mad cackling☂☂
The opening credits are awesome, though.
BLENDERS SKITTLES ARE SO WEIRD, OMGG, I LOVE THEM.
☂NOT WORDED PROPERLY, AGH☂
He doesn't want anything from you, darling. He only wants to harm Sherlock, and perhaps me as well if he has the time and the energy.
((Wat.
Okay, I'll try- but was Mycroft with Moriarty? I thought he and Moran got the quick getaway with Mith
WHY DOES EVERYONE START WITH "M"))
☂Oh yeah, you're right!☂
☂I LOVE THE BLENDERS SKITTLES☂
☂They make me think of blending skittles and milk and making Skittle milkshakes☂
((Yeah lol good job Ember))
((Hi Cain bbz *hugs*))
☂I KNOW! M PARTY!☂
☂Poor Sherly, he's left out.☂
☂Mycroft and Mith and Moriarty are together.☂
☂Sebastian and Sherlock... wait, no... I don't know :p☂
Mycroft I ALWAYS hug my best friend first D: also, she might get jealous if I hug you so...*airhugs*
(Adra, Mycroft is with Moriarty who kidnapped me. Seb is somewhere else and Sherlock is still in the Globe Theatre. I think...)
((... I swear we got our quick getaway-
I swear that's what happened though! -_-))
☂Huh?☂
☂I think M and M and M and M are together and S is by himself.☂
☂Wait, I just realised-☂
☂Sherlock and Mycroft: S&M☂
☂Sebastian and Moriarty: S&M☂
☂Which also means that Mycroft and Mith are M&Ms!☂
☂☂is proud of logic☂☂
*frowns*
She is MY best friend, not yours. Although she is my wife. Fine. I shall let you get away with calling her your best friend.
☂I'm going to sort this out for good.☂
Hellooooooooooooo!
My story is almost 5000 words long. It's not very long. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't know what I dreamt of... I should be dreaming now.
We used the Moriarty-Machine to do it, and it is now with Sebastian. The Mycroft-Machine is still on the stage of the Globe Theater, where Sherlock could use it, but he doesn't know what year we went to.
☂No, the Mycroft-Machine is on the floor because he used it to hit Seb, remember?☂
(Adra, Dragona, we were, just now, in 1566, I believe. But now Mycroft, Mithria, Moriarty, and Sebastian are in 1922.)
☂Hi Starry!☂
☂Maybe this IS a dream, Deathy!☂
☂☂waggles fingers☂☂
Sherlock: *stares at Mycroft's time machine* *mumbles* Which year have they gone to? Oh, come on! Think, Sherlock! You need to find them!
*sighs* In all seriousness, what do you want, James? I would like to confirm my suspicions.
☂I'm leaving in fifteen minutes, okay?☂
CHRIST THESE TITANS ARE SCARY
Helloooo *hugs back*
*will be making Attack on Titan comments occasionally*
*to Moriarty* Let go... please.
*Moriarty pushes her away and she stumbles and falls*
(Ember, will you come back today?)
WHOA WHOA WHOAAAAA WHY IS THIS TITAN RUNNING
AND NOW IT'S BREATHING FIRE WTF
*waves to people who said hi*
I don't actually know what to do now. I should do homework, but I don't want to, so . . . yeah. :P
It's odd, not having anything to do. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
☂☂laughs at Cain's comment☂☂
☂Star: Read a book, go on tumblr, dance, watch some youtube videos, try to watch Nyan Cat for as long as possible, write something, draw something...☂
☂Wait, Star, did you ever finish your Mycroft drawing?!☂
☂Maybe at like 7 my/your time, Mith.☂
*quickly helps Mithria off the floor and cradles her*
*frowns at Moriarty*
By the way, you shot her leg.
You shot her.
*pauses*
*smiles*
Mithria, stand in the corner.
*punches Moriarty in the face*
(Okay, I'll try and come at 7 as well^^)
*is very very quiet*
*yells at Moriarty*
YOU SHOT HER.
*yanks the gun from out of his hand*
*shoots him in the leg*
HOW DOES THAT FEEL? AM I RIGHT IN ASSUMING THAT IT IS PAINFUL?!
*suddenly shouts* MYCROFT!
*frowns angrily*
What is it?
YEAH GO MIKASA!
Thank you for punching your brother.
@Star: Draw, maybe?
I might draw some Attack on Titan fan-art after this episode, maybe...
Haven't you heard of a thing called revenge, Mithria? Or perhaps house training?
I would like him to know that he cannot treat my family in this way.
@Ember: No . . . because I stopped drawing everything for a bit. And then I lost it. :/ I'm sorry. It wasn't just you who didn't get things drawn.
*now has something to do, so wbd*
Dammit . . . I think I'm getting a headache.
#ChaseForBookNine
☂Oh, Missy, I've seen your art blog! I really like your drawings! :D☂
Thanks for the suggestions, people. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Aw, thanks Sep!! :3
I may go update that after this episode, actually... idk.
☂It's okay!☂
☂I just wanted to know because I'm currently using that picture of Mycroft pulling that face for my ask blog avatar, and I wanted to use something...☂
☂Not original. Because I didn't draw it. Or maybe original. I'm trying to say something that hadn't been on the internet before.☂
☂<3☂

*raises glass* hear hear. *sips tea*

*noms Skittles*
You should start to watch anime, Eld!!
Yeah it's pretty great. *nods*
i want to, but i dont know what anime to start watching, i find it all very sexist as well, and yeah :P
Full Metal Alchemist.
It's not at all sexist and I may or may not love it to death
You know, my rubber is pretty damn redundant as a rubber, because it just leaves ink smears everywhere, plus I can't rub in the corners because then it rubs off the corners of my word art and I have to redo it. XD
Distant, doing homework.
#ChaseForBookNine
Start with watching something like K-On. That'd be a good one to start with. I started watching it the other day, but I've been told to watch Attack On Titan because it's really good. So here I am watching Attack On Titan. *nods*
*high fives Star* Me too!
*paces around*
Okay, I'm gone now... see you later maybe...
*hugs*
Bye Mith!
Wow Eren sucks at this.
Eren.
Bye Mithy *hugs*
Fours, Mithria! :(
*draws an amazingly awesome word art title in my sketch book* *frowns at the fact it's irreadable*
WHATEVER I WRITE, IT'S IRREADABLE. :P
(Because, you know, everyone moaned at how terrible my handwriting was, so I changed it to handwriting that was beautifully fancy but very irreadable, and all my teachers kept complaining, so after three complaints from different teachers in one week I changed it back, and now everyone keeps saying they can't read my normal handwriting and I'm like WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER)
#ChaseForBookNine
Eh, don't conform to society, I say. *cuddles Star*
Ha, I need examiners to be able to read it and know if I've spelt things correctly, though. But thanks. :)
How are you?
#ChaseForBookNine
Alright- i'm having lunch with some old friends of mine in a few hours.
and I'm drawing on my tablet...
It's really cool..l :D
Yourself?
Bbs, dinner!!
Okay! ^.^
*sits, wrapped in her blanket like a burrito*
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -
So I just finished my drawing for the last stanza of that poem... It's a girl falling under literally two broken planks into the "Worlds", which are circles/ disks below her, like portals.. And each one has a different color ((Except the very last one at the bottom, which is black)), but there are nine circles, each one representing Worlds, but the nine circles as well..
Because -if you missed it- the poem was about insanity
Back!
Hi Cain- *waves*
@Adra: Awesome. :)
Sorry I poofed, had to go do real life stuff.
#ChaseForBookNine
That's Okies- :3
:)
Are you still doing homework, or did you stop?
