Ladies and gentlemen, for those who haven't heard, head over to the Waterstones site for a very special special edition announcement...
http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2014/08/the-dying-of-the-light-black-edition/#more-59340
This is something I've had in mind for years — a super supreme limited edition of only 1000 copies— the Black Edition. Those lucky few who have managed to get your hands on a proof copy of the first book should recognise the design we're echoing, bringing the whole thing full circle...
We're working with Waterstones on this, and so the Black Edition will only be available in their shops. You won't be able to preorder these. You won't be able to reserve one online or in person. Not even Waterstones STAFF can preorder these for THEMSELVES! On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go hunting for them.
We already have 5000 copies of a Special Edition that comes signed, with that stunning cover, but the Black Edition will NOT be signed, and there will be a ONE PER PERSON policy. Basically, we're torturing you. We're making you choose.
The fact is, because there will only be 1000 printed, and so each store will only get a limited amount of copies, the chances of YOU, individual Minion, managing to snag one is pretty low. Because there is no way to guarantee that you get one, you're just going to have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Oh, and you should also check Twitter that day, because the stores will be tweeting how many copies they've got left. Until they tweet, there is no way of telling how many copies a particular store will have received.
Ooooh I can't wait to get mine....

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4555 Newer› Newest»Oh, well, that's good that you got it, right?
I'm gonna go read, byeeee!
Bai...-Zaf
@Zaf: -_-
Yes.
That is the correct way to teach people. :/
*nods* I made a cup of tea to help my head. I usuly NEVER drink tea.-Zaf
:/
Well, I hope it helps . . . I don't normally drink tea, either. :P
I'm trying to think positive, I kinda wish I could have been on that Google Hangout thing. Not even sure how you won that, but then again, I'd have been a sight to see today xD
The aftermath of Skype....*dies* I was whacked into a wall. Poor Val, she looked so confused...
-Zaf
@Zaf: :P
YAY ICE CREAM TRUCKY COMING TODAY :D
You wanna know about the Google Hangout?
It. Was. Hectic.
Seriously even Derek had a bad connection.
I saw on Twitter, I wonder why he didn't use Skype, when he called for me we used Skype...-Zaf
@Izz: :) :)
I may write out a bit of the Zan thing.-Zaf
Dunno.
I only got to ask one question in the end. It was actually Kestrel's question; about what happens if you find out about your magic after you're past the age for the surge.
He said there are characters in the last book who are like that, and their powers are more based around their personalities.
That was interesting anyway.
Someone asked who the hardest character to write was. He said China, because she's so different to the others (he called her a femme fatale).
People were fading in and out. Someone was in a public place so their mic was noisey. Derek dropped out at least three times.
OMIGOD SWANSEA ACTUALLY WON😁😁
Hey guys
Also it is currently 1:20 am here. If I stop talking it's because I've fallen asleep.
What did you guys have to do to win? -Zaf
*On Asgard, Thor, Zanida, and the twins are in the palace, Frigga holds Leif, as Zanida has Kari*
Frigga: You two are always so kind to Loki, he deserves it after all he has been through.
Zanida: When you find out your brother is Loki, you try to put the strangeness behind you.
Frigga: Where is he?
Zanida: Midgard, he asked me to take the twins tonight, so I happily agreed. Any chance to have these two is fine by me.
Thor: Leif just tried to bite me. Wonderful.
It was a part of the Theatre of Shadows. Did you sign up for that Zaf?
So what are you guys up to?
No, I wasn't allowed to because I'm American.-Zaf
Ah I see. I forgot about that.
It's a shame really. Geographic favouritism.
Are my comments showing ? 😒
More like hatred towards us in everything :P
Seriously, I'm not actually surprised, guess that's why Derek let me be America's Grand Mage. Not sure if I'm in TDOTL though, he won't tell.
-Zaf
Yes sorry for ignoring you Inky I'm really tired!!
In fact I should probably sleep now. Talk to Zaf. I'm going to pass out soon anyway.
Sorry again. Bye!
I don't know much, but wouldn't it be because of the data protection act?
Don't worry Izz
Byii
(Still pretty cool being in the books though Zaf. I was always jealous of you for that :)
Sleeping now.
(Back. Rich is okay, hospitals give me headaches and food will be a while.
How is everyone?)
Night Izz!
Yeah it is, I mean like I sort of forget half the time that people know my taken name who I never met. Like the one day in the book shop, someone couldn't find PWF so I helped and said to order off Amazon and we just started talking and we got onto what our taken name would be and I just am like mine is Zafira Kerias, poor kid looked in shock. I was told a pleasure to meet you Grand Mage, but like I think its normal to me, I mean all my friends are so casual like yeah Zaf is with us and random Minions are like OMG YOU ARE IN LSODM
-Zaf
Hi Sil, maybe you will talk with me
(Whatdaya wanna talk about Flick?)
Just talk, I've been here since 4:18 and no June has said boo nor ba to me except Izz, who just apologised before leaving
Sorry Flick, I haven't exactly slept well...*pets* -Zaf
(Everyone has been ignoring you?! How dare they!)
Don't worry Zaf
It's not like the did it on purpose Sil, I'm not exactly someone who stands out 😅
@Inky: Yeah, but you're ace. :/
*not really here*
It's okay . . . quite a few people get ignored. :)
(*hugs* *slightly worried at how much ive started hugging* you do matter! You're awesome!)
Thnx Star *hugs*
*laugh* it was like that in school
I shocked my English teacher though when I cut my hair short 😅
I shocked my evil English teacher when I had my hair highlighted, she COMPLIMENTED me and she usually never does.-Zaf
Thnx too Sil 😊
Cutting my long hair short was the best thing I did, the cut throat razor also gave it a rough layered effect aswell
(...I don't shock my teachers much....
Although if they keep being bitches I AM going to turn my hand at starting a student revolution. Or at the least a one person protest!)
None of my teachers were really evil, except maybe my welsh teacher
She was one of those who favouritized people
I was one of them because I somewhat resemble her niece
Anyways, the welsh exam was an oral exam. We were in pairs and we wouldn't know what we had to talk about until the day of the exam so to prepare we had to write convos for each possible topic. She complimented me and my partner on ours. When it came to the lesson that we had to type everything g up, she told us it wasn't good enough and she basically wrote our exams for us without letting us redo it
Oh, and it's d day on thirsday... Dun dun dun
I get my gcse results
I'm sure you'll do amazingly! Welsh is cool.
Thnx Sil ☺️I hate welsh, my mum wished she sent me to a welsh school
Ayyyyyy!
Just popping in to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING MY QUESTION, IZZ! And sorry that the connection was bad :(
(Welsh seems like a cool language. I don't understand it like but, you know, sounds cool. Probably better than French.)
(Hey Kessy.)
Chloe, I bet you Latin is worse
(Yo Kes, what is Sil supposed to act like when you ain't around?)
Hey Kes
The coolest thing about welsh is that I can pronounce the longest place name in wales
If it's any consolation I failed my Algebra 2 final.-Zaf
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
The thing is, I didn't find the exams too bad but when I think that, I don't do as well as I could have
That looks like gobeldygook
((Storm, I have no idea. Do you want her to just be normal but a little zombie like, or...?))
Chloe...that's. There's no way that's a thing. How do you pronounce that?
It's a place in wales
I know how to pronounce that XD
It's hard to tell you how to pronounce it because certain sounds are hard for non welsh speakers to pronounce cos it isn't a sound used in English
(@Kes er...I dunno...two days is actually a long time. It used to be so short... A little zombie like sounds fair.)
((Storm, okay. So just be normalish unless I give you a specific command)?
Chloe, but...
Now I'm curious
(Yeah sure. She'll do anything you say and be a tad zombieish. That way if you ain't around and other people are here I don't have to make a Sil2)
((Storm, makes sense :)))
Hmm I wonder if there are any vids out there of people saying it ...
Probably
Chloe, *pokes* you could make one....
I sound terrible on tape
*pokes* Pleeeeeeeeease
(Hello.)
*sighs* maybe
Hi Dragona
I'm great thnx, you?
I sound ridiculous on tape. XD
It makes me sound really high pitched and more welshy XD
Hi Dragona!
Star, I sound terrible :3 I don't think anyone reay sounds good
I just sound like I have a Suffolk accent.
Well
a bit of one
WHICH I PROBABLY DOOOOOOOOOOO
My sister sounds awful. XD
And, yeah. Like how no one looks good in photos. :)
I looked Terrible in my prom photos
@Inky: Everyone looks awful in photos. :) Dw about it.
I look FABULOUS in photos. :P
Chloe, I'm sure you were beautiful :)
I try not to but my mum and nan love taking photos of my
I was a bridesmaid at my uncles wedding last year and the photographer said for my to stop looking terrified and I'm like.... That's my face
Thnx Kes but I didn't look my best
The dress was beautiful thougth
Fooooooood bbs
Byii Kes
( Sorry. Food appeared. My mouth is on fire. Spicy chicken.)
(@Kes I love how you made a big deal of having Sil under your control then just kinda do nothing :P)
@Sil: XD Yeah.
That's like real life really. XD
I hate spicy food . . . :/
@Inky: :/ I'm sure it's fine. :)
And, yay for the dress. :)
Everyone reckons that pictures didn't do the dress justice ... It's a shame that I don't have anywhere to wear the dress again
(Hey Flick did i ever tell you you're pretty? Like REALLy pretty..)
Um thnx Sil, do you think so? I bet your pretty aswell 😊
(Yes I do mean that. You're pretty)
(I wouldn't bet on that. That's how you lose money..)
(mbd)
Aww thnx ☺️
I'm totally sure you are just as pretty 😉
Ez owes Hunter a hundred dollars from a bet currently, I think. XD
Talking of bets my friend Morgan thinks he is better at English lit than me because I had an a last year whereas he had a a*
He is a narcissist, and that totally explains why I'm in the top class and he isn't so we made a bet
The one who gets the least on this years exam will have to e filmed getting flour and stuf dumped on them
Zanida gets to throw Loki in a lake, no clue why.
(Ez bet Hunter something? That wasn't smart..)
(I'll let you think that Flick.)
(What day is it?)
Today? It's saturday
(Thanks! I keep losing track of the days..)
(They both sound like fun things to do. Throwing Loki in a lake sounds great. Throwing flour and stuff on someone sounds amusing.)
The flour thing sounds intruding ing unless it happens to be me XD
(Hi)
Hey Viv
(Hey Vivvy!)
(The flour thing sounds FUN)
Embarrassing ... I'm listening to my headphones and the song 'I wanna know what love is' came on and I started to sing to it
That's when I noticed my sister looking at me, horrified from the other side of the room
Well I'll give you a link to the vid because it'll probably go on YouTube... That is if he remembers the bet
@Inky: Well, good luck in your English, then. :P
@Silente: No, Hunter bet Ez. They like betting each other, though. :)
Throwing Loki in a lake DOES sound great. :)
(He'll probably 'forget' if you win..)
(Horrified? XD Oh god. Thats mean.)
Thnx Stat XD
I know it was incredibly mean, I know I can't song but still... The song was a meaningful and beautiful
*Star
*sing
(Whoop! Eight hours of Red Cross training today! I am now ready to sit on ANYONE'S bab!)
*baby
*baby
(The song is meaning full and beautiful. I'm glad you found the confidence to sing along to it!)
(@Vivvy whoop! No idea what a bab is but whoop!)
Red Cross training? Cool
Sitting on someone's baby... Not so much
(Sorry, another poof.)
(@Viv WHY WOULD YOU SIT ON A BABY?!?!?!)
(Well I'm now officially a baby sitter)
I guess you can call him a BABY SITTER XD
@Viv: Oh. XD
Oh right
Damn it I thought I made a joke
(The best part is that after I sit on it I can use CPR to bring it back to life)
I literally can't get a part time job
I will have 5 days a week in college then one day volunteering and a day to catch up in homework
(O_O)
(Dat poor baby)
(HIDE YO BABIES!)
(I'm very cheap though...)
(I'm kidding...I was one of the best people there.)
(@El O_o Not Santa!)
(So we have someone who plans to sit on and resuscitate babies and someone who killed Santa...
Gotta say I do love blogland so much.)
You killed Santa ? *sniffles*
What?!? Santa's dead?!??
That sounds like a dream I had when I was young
I dreamt that memo and all his friends died
And then another time I dreamt that these warriors who were made out of trees killed
My friends
@El: O_O You have weird dreams. :P
@Viv: :P :)
*nemo
Sil!!! Why do I have 106 emails in my inbox?
(Elleni Jazz. We of the nonexistant blogland sanctury here by and hence forth charge you with the murder of one S. Clause. Also knows as C. Crimble and sentence you to death by method of beheading! Yes! We shall behead your favorite gummy bear!)
(@Viv um...no idea? Defo wasn't me...)
(Oh yes, most of it was...and various other blodlandians who I never gave my email to...)
Zaffy on Supreme Council :D -Zaf
(Er.... IT WAS STAR!)
(Star doesn't have my email...)
(Supreme council BAD! Jk although I did view them as going about things the wrong way.)
(We should do a rp where we just figure out who goes where sanctury wise in blogland...)
(...MOST of it was Star...and Lucifer...and Zaf.)
(Let's do it)
Hmm, which sanctuary would I belong too? Wales doesn't have one ...
(Sorry I poofed.)
(@Flick I meant if blogland had a sanctury. So Blake might be a law enforcer..)
Oh okay 😊
@Silente: YOU STARTED THE EMAIL CHAIN *hits her gently :P*
I don't think we should have a sanctuary; in Blogland, we are all equal . . .
Yeah.
Blake? Law enforcer? :S He'd be terrible. :P
(Non cannon of course.)
-Blogland was a weird place full of weird people where weird things happened. So when a building popped up out of nowhere in the clearing most people ignored it. That was, they ignored it as best a building can be ignored. But then a sign appeared on the building, a sign that many questioned. A sign declaring it as 'Blogland Sanctuary.' This turned a few heads. Sanctuary in Blogland? No one had heard of such a thing and yet here it was, shiny and new, waiting for its new rulers-
(@Star not a real one..just to see what people's reactions would be...)
*Walks in*
*sees building *
What the ..
*reads the sign*
Sanctuary? Blogland doesn't HAVE a sanctuary!
Do you know what this is about Sil?
(MORE POOFING.)
(I don't think we should have a Sanctuary.)
Er...no. No I don't..
*steps towards the building*
-A hologram fades up. "Hello. Welcome. You're probably wondering what this is."-
*watches hologram*
*nods at Dragona* :/
Anyway . . .
(Neither do I Draggie..but I'm interested. It's non cannon rp.)
(Everyone is equal... having elders and stuff would put people who have not necessarily earned the position in power. And that would be unfair.)
-Allow me to explain. Almost every country now has a Sanctuary. And we felt that Blogland, with such a large magical population, should also have a sanctuary. Appoint who you may to whatever posts. And enjoy your sanctuary! And with the the hologram faded away-
Uh..
Well... What should we do?
(I know but I wanna see who'd be put where. As I said its just an experiment, non cannon. Doesn't exist on the Blogland time line.)
(Brb.)
*jumps out from behind a tree*
I'M GRAND MAGE!!!!! ZAFFY IS ALREADY GRAND MAGE OF AMERICA!!
