Die Horribly Winner! (And finishing a book)

I have just pressed SEND.

By pressing SEND, I have emailed off the completed book to my agent and editor. It will now be sent to the copyeditor who, amongst other things, will be checking for grammar and spelling mistakes that I've missed but, more importantly, will be ensuring that everything I've written makes sense.

She will be checking facts and figures and timelines, scouring her notes on the other books to make sure I haven't contradicted myself... A good copyeditor in invaluable, and I have a great one.

It's done. I wrote the two Scapegrace chapters that I'd left until last. Oh, and I ALSO included the winner of the Die Horribly competition...



It took me until last night to pick a winner. I was sent 30 finalists out of everyone who entered. Of those 30, I quickly whittled it down to 15. Then, not so quickly, down to 10. Then it took me ages to narrow it down to 5. Then 3.

There were some great entries. Lots of funny reasons why people reckoned they should be the reader I pick to kill horribly in the book. But I needed something specific. I needed something that would fit in with what I'd written. And there was only one reader who fit PERFECTLY.

So congratulations to Lewis Holmes, from the UK. You shall have the distinct honour of being Horribly Killed in The Dying of the Light.



Lewis' death was the last thing I had to write. Now it's all over. Sure, I'll be sent the copyeditor's notes to approve, and there'll be a little more fiddling around between now and printing time, but...

... but it's over. I have finished writing Skulduggery Pleasant.

I think I need to lie down now.

Thank you. I currently have three eastern-european witches huddled over my bed, faces concealed beneath dark veils as they chant mystical healing runes, but it's not helping.

Greetings, Ms. Crowley, Ms. Tempest, Ms. DeMars, Ms. Asahina, and whoever else may be here.

Of course, Ms. Tempest.

I hope that you recover, Ms. Crowley.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I doubt the witches would help. Have you ever considered they may simply be worsening your current state?

Mary Contrary said...

Hey Silente!
I was just watching Star Trek:TOS, and somebody was dancing, and someone else asked Kirk and Spock what they thought of the dance. Well, Kirk said something along the lines of how it was beautiful, and Spock decided it might be nostalgic, because it kind of reminded him of the dances the Vulcan kids used to do.
And I just had this image of Spock dancing, in my head, and, immediately just started scribbling. I just found it funny. :P
...It's just my brain. :P

Hi Annika! Hi Sir! :)

Well, they came very highly recommended. I hear they hardly ever sacrifice their patients to Satan.

Take me back Josephine
To that cold and December
I'm missing someone but I don't know who
Now I'm standing alone and trying to remember
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you
Noontime wind can you blow
For me one more time
And take me on back to the start
Where the midnight moon shines so bright
Nearly pulled us up to heaven
By the strings of our heart

Dragona Pine said...

On Twitter this morning I checked for like updates or whatever you call it since I'm new to Twitter - and there were loads of people saying things.
The things were, imo, stupid. I started discussing it with people - Lucia and Corvo. There were loads of people saying things and they were all trying to fight sexism - with more sexism. And I hate it when people do that. I kind of started ranting about it.

You can't fight sexism with MORE sexism. I believe in equality - but I would support no one who would try and make women equal as men if they used MORE sexism to accomplish it, whether I believed they were right or not. It just makes them as bad as the people who are sexist originally.

Half of the things that were said were like, "Oh all men treat women like crap".

I have NEVER been sexist in my entire life. And for people to go and say that - it was both insulting and disgusting.

Apparently there was some guy in America who was lonely or something and he was 22 years old and a virgin and wanted the women in the world to pay for not liking him so he went and killed some people (both men and women, btw). Someone tweeted saying that people cared more about the fact that he was lonely rather than the people who he killed. I was like asffljasdfldsafjldsafldsflk that's a load of bullshit.

And then there was another twitter-tweet-thing saying "THIS IS WHY MEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS ARE FUCKING DANGEROUS"
And another saying "When these men don't get what they've been told is coming to them, they react like they've been robbed. All of a sudden women are the enemy."

THAT GUY WAS BLOODY INSANE FOR GOD'S SAKE STUPID PEOPLE. HE DOESN'T REPRESENT ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FACT HE WAS INSANE - BEING A MALE IS IRRELEVANT. A FEMALE COULD HAVE DONE EXACTLY THE SAME AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE SAID ANYTHING.

People annoy me. Lots.

Dragona Pine said...

I'm fine thanks Taia, you?


Do you like my angry picture? :P

Dragona Pine said...

And despite the fact I agree with what those people were trying to do, their way of getting it was SO WRONG. But you can't speak out about it, because otherwise they'll just brand you sexist. It's so bloody annoying.

Dragona Pine said...

And UKIP annoy me lots. They claim they're not racist when their disgusting propaganda clearly is and so are their policies.
People vote for them as if they're trying to make a point to the government but it's stupid and you SHOULDN'T do that. If you really want to sort things out go and protest or something but DON'T vote for the most radical and idiotic party short of the British Nationalist Party we have.

UKIP should be illegal.

If anyone paid them any attention, they'd get no votes. It's only because of the fact UKIP are trying to make clear that things need to change in the government that people are voting for them - despite the fact they're just the same, in fact worse, than all the other politicians.

Every country in Europe is seeing a rise in radical right-wing parties and WE NEED TO STOP THIS CRAP BEFORE THEY TAKE OVER.

This crap is just going to end up starting WWIII.

@Duglynn: *tilts head* I might be mistaken, but I THINK Fabi maybe once showed me a song by Brandi Carlile titled "Caroline", maybe? I think she said there were two different songs by the same name. idk. I might be remembering wrongly, but idk.
Not sure where I'm going with this, it just came to mind. :P

@Dragona: I can agree with every word of that.
When you get feminists who are like, "OH, men treat women so badly, they should hold the doors open and bring bouquets of flowers, " and so on, and it's like, that's going BACKWARDS.
People seem to fight for bringing women's rights up, but so many seem to forget about the point of equality. It's not about making women BETTER, it's about making them EQUAL.

And another thing... People argue so much about stereotypes surrounding women, and expectations they feel they need to meet, and yeah, that's important.
But for every girl struggling to meet that female stereotype, there's a guy struggling to meet the male one, y'know?

Maybe you could see a better day
And you won't waste away
Under my watchful eye
Because I'm your hero and your my weakness
Who's gonna break my fall
When the spinning stars
The colors bleed together and fade
Was it ever there before
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me today

*looks at the machine*
Scared?
*grins behind the mask*
Good.
*picks up a small, delicate knife*
*presses something on its hilt*
*the blade glows red*

Dragona Pine said...

And this is what happens when 99% of all people in a country are people whose opinions belong in the 1930s. Or at least, they're too stupid to realise what a political party represents.


Hence the angry picture.

What did you do to it?
(Because I'm a banshee ninja would the cuffs stop me from becoming mist?)

Doc, I'm dying, I'm feeling compromised
And so dehumanized (so dehumanized)
I lost my final fight to disease
I feel that this is where it ends
I need that shot to enter my vein
My Brompton Cocktail blend

Coz I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong

I'm not running away
Been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay
We gotta be so strong

In a lie, I'm tired, induced euphoria
To help me move along (help me move along)
I wanna meet my maker in peace
I want to feel alive again
So put that smile back on my face
And mix it strong my face

Coz I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong

I'm not running away
Been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay
We gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight
Coz I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived
So alive . . .

I believe my sins have been forgiven
And I believe my choice will save me from this life
Please don't question why
My sins have been forgotten
I believe I'll find peace in afterlife
Please don't question why
I left this way

Coz I can't feel my face
I won't struggle on
In a world so cold
In a world so wrong
I'm not running away
Been fighting this so long (so long)
Such a price that we pay
We gotta be so strong
And I take my life tonight
Coz I have the right to die how I wanna
And leave how I arrived
So alive
Alive . . . !

@Dragona: People are idiots.
*sighs*
Oh my gosh.
I don't think I would be a very good politician, but I've a good mind to give it a go because I'd be better than UKIP, at least.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Yes they most likely would, they've bound your magic))

*looks at her wrist*
*grins*
Oh this? Well you see before it was just an ordinary knife. But now? Well now anything it cuts, is agony.
*turns it over in her fingers*
Shall I show you?

Nice Star!!!!!

Star, I think a three year old would have better opinions on the matter than they would :P

(Silente can you explain what's happening with the RP? I'd kind of like to join in)

Star Inkbright said...

Hey kid (hey kid), do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
(Life so reckless, tragedy endless)
Welcome to the family

Hey, there's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Not long ago you'd find the answers were so crystal clear
Within a day you found yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now?
Can you look at yourself?
You. can't. win. this. fight!

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you. can't. win. this. fight!

Hey (hey kid), I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family

Hey, why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty rerun
Welcome to the family

I'll try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
You. can't. win. this. fight!

And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you. can't. win. this. fight!

gunning for you
and all mankind
I've lost my mind
psychotic
rabid dementia
I won't be fine


I see
You’re a king who’s been dethroned
Cast out
In a world you’ve never known
Stand down
Place your weapons by your side
It’s our war, in the end we’ll surely lose
But that's alright

So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?

And, in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you. can't. win. this. fight!

deep inside
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
you're not invited
so step aside
I lost my
deep inside
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
you're not invited
so step aside
I lost my

((Oh well I'm wearing a mask so you don't actually know its me but here's the gist. I've kidnapped Dugglyn, she's now gagged and shackled to a chair. She's using a typer thing to communicate. I'm generally thinking of the best ways to torture her, that's pretty much it really dragona.))

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

Oh, Silente, when are you going to post the voting info for BA?

Dragona Pine said...

Well, I dedicate this page to everyone who opposes UKIP and basically every other radical right-wing party which seems to be plaguing nearly every country in Europe recently.

They're all idiots - and everyone who opposes them I like very much.

May we oppose the influx of stupidity forever. Or at least until we all get destroyed in the third world war that will happen if we don't.

Hi Dragona! please find me!!

Take the time just to listen
When the voices screaming are much too loud
Take a look in the distance
Try and see it all . . .
Chances are that you might find
That we share a common discomfort now
I feel I'm walking a fine line
Tell me only if it's real . . .

Still I'm on my way
(On and on it goes)
Vacant hope to take . . .

Hey! I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel . . .
Real as ever
And it seems I've been buried alive . . . !

I walked the fields through the fire
Taking steps until I found solid ground
Followed dreams reaching higher
Couldn't survive the fall . . .
Much has changed since the last time
And I feel a little less certain now
You know i jumped at the first sign
Tell me only if it's real . . .

Memories seem to fade
(On and on it goes)
Wash my view away . . .

Hey! I can't live in here for another day
Darkness has kept the light concealed
Grim as ever
Hold on to faith as I dig another grave
Meanwhile, the mice endure the wheel . . .
Real as ever
And I'm chained like a slave
Trapped in the dark
Slammed all the locks
Death calls my name and it seems I've been buried alive . . . !

Take it down now
Burn it all out
Throw you all around

Get your fucking hands off me
What's it feel like?
Took the wrong route
Watch it fall apart
Now you're knocking at the wrong gate

For you to pay the toll
A price for you alone
The only deal you'll find
I'll gladly take your soul

While it seems sick
Sober up quick
Psycho lunatic
Crushing you with hands of fate

Shame to find out
When it's too late
But you're all the same
Trapped inside inferno awaits

Evil thoughts can hide
I'll help release the mind
I'll peel away the skin
Release the dark within

This is now your life
Strike you from the light
This is now your life
Die buried alive

This is now your life
(What's it feel like?)
Strike you from the light
(Gladly taking your soul)
This is now your life
(What's it feel like?)
Die buried alive
(Gladly taking your soul)

This is now your life
Die buried alive

*grins at Dugglyn*
Are you sure? I'm sure you would. You don't have to be modest, it'd be my pleasure.
*holds the knife just a centimetre above her arm*
Allow me to demonstrait.
*stabs into her arm the red glow pulsing and intensifying before swarming her veins and skin*

Back, again. :)

But still distant, because I'm going back to sketching various poses of dancing Spock (wth is wrong with me? ._.) :P

Okay, Silente. If there's anything you want me to help with, I'll have time later today. If not, that's cool too.

*grins and twists the blade*
*yanks it out roughly*
See? Told you it was painful. Absolute agony.
*puts that blade down*
*picks up a different one*
*this one glows blue*

Mary Contrary said...

*sneaks a hug at Fabi*


I can see
That you and me
Live our lives in the pouring rain
And the raindrops beat out of time to our refrain

And you and me
Will win, you'll see
People die in their living rooms
But they do not need this God Almighty gloom

There's something warm about the rain

(OTHER PEOPLE WERE LYRICSSPAMMING, I HAVE NO SHAME. :P)

Hello.

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

Um, we put 'Everyone' on the list, I think. It's not the end of the universe if there isn't one clear winner, and if 'everyone' votes are separate from individual people's votes, it won't mess up the math, I don't think.

We can't list out everyone and put them on the list, and I don't want to ignore the nominations entirely.

Unless you've got a better idea?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*turns to face Dragona*
Oh I do so hate interruptions. What do you want? You realise I'm closed right now?
*plays with the knife between her fingers*
And I don't do business with people who interupt me when I'm closed. Shoo.
*glares at him*
*turns back to Dugglyn*
Where were we?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Well I was thinking what if people just put 'everyone' as their votes?))

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente: It'd be best to ignore them if they put everyone)
