An Award? For Me? Oh Goodness...



Yes, yes, it’s true... I truly am a golden god.

Thanks to you, my minions, Skulduggery Pleasant has been voted Best Irish Book of the Decade- something which kind of took me a little by surprise...! Not that I don’t think it IS the best book of the last ten years- because I do, I do!- but because I never thought a book for younger readers would actually win. It’s been quite a hectic few days, what with interviews, statements, more interviews, video games...

Naturally, I don’t need anything to add to my ego- which is healthy enough as it is, thank you very much- and so the biggest kick I got from this whole thing is that now, finally, I have proof that my Munchkin Army and my Ninja Leprechauns really are as powerful as I imagined.

Soon, we will strike.

SOON.

I’m compiling a list of common questions you’ve been asking in the comments section, so the next entry of this accursed Blog will probably be spent answering them. In the meantime, please enjoy some zombies, http://toomanyzombies.blogspot.com, brought to you by my very good friend Jay. I think a few of you will definitely find these cuddly creatures of the undead to your liking...



Also… happy belated birthday Odile! (One of these days I’m going to be on time with birthday wishes, I swear I am...)

Ok so here's how the story has gone so far.

One day (erm today)in the heart of Ireland Derek Landy was typing away on his laptop finishing the 6th skulduggery plesant book. But suddenly his laptop crashed before he could save it.
"no....what have I done?" he cried. "A whole book gone! NOOOOOOO!!"
Meanwhile in the Gecko cave (dramatic duddly-do du-du-duddly do) *camera zooms in on Geckogirl licking an ice-cream* "Hey!" she said. "Carn't a girl and her friend eat ice-creams in peace? Ain't that right Skulduggery?"
*Skulduggery looks up at camera* "Mine's vanilla flavour!" he stated. *Pause* "erm yeah Skulduggery, yeah it is....." Geckogirl said.
Skulduggery tilted his head slightly and said "Wait......I feel a disturbance.....it's kinda like the feeling that part of you has been erased from a book. Do you know that feeling?"
Before Geckogirl could reply Lynith and Naomi burst into the cave arguing with eachother. Straight after them Hellboy/Inferno joe appeared and he said,'allright allright, lets be havin yers' (in a geordie accent of course- dont know why though) 'Ok, so I know we've ad our ups 'n downs but nows not the time to be fightin like the bloomin boy's in blue for goodness sakes!'

Lynith and Naomi both look ashamed and go to the freezer and pick out icecreams so they don't feel left out. Geckogirl then shouts, 'Oi they're my icecreams!!' and Naomi and Lynith both stick out their tongues at her, look at each other and burst out laughing. Then Skulduggery says impationatly, 'no really you guys, some part of me has deffinatly been erased because I can't remember my real date of birth anymore!!!
Skulduggery then said, "Wait I can't even taste this ice cream anymore!" everyone in the room looks at him knowingly.Then Geckogirl says, "Um yes Skul you're a skeleton...you don't have taste buds..."
"Oh that's right.I had forgotten.That still seems a little unfair that *just* because I'm a skeleton I can't taste ice cream!" everyone laughs and roles their eyes.Then Skyril walks in and says, "Hey yall!Guess what!...

Continue it!!!

STORYNESSLOSITY

while hey were talkiing, Insnaity also sensed the distrubance, so she sent out a mesenger cupcake to notifiy them. it arrived shortly, and it said the following: there has beena disturbance in the skulduggery world.pleasae arrive at te purple ocean to e a debreifing. you may take the included flying carpet. they looked up to see a shag rug flying around. they arrived at the la-ar to to find insanity seated at a table. "ok" she said "book six has been lost" the others all but became emo at the loss. "we need to get it bac, but i dont wanna go to the troble of make in a picture that would fix all of it, so we are going on a big hard quest! tll me all that we will need"

Another question for Mr.Landy, I had this brought up to me and I had wondered WHY this name had chewed on me. And now I know.

You seem like a big gamer, I wonder if there is any reference in the books to the Nefarian boss in World of Warcraft and the scepter he drops-Lok'amir il Romathis.

Lillian Faye said...

Hahahaa wow, it was all resolved whilst I slep. Thats a good thing then because I really really hate bitchy conversation/arguments. Even if sometimes they become funny lol.

So can we all hug and make up dudes?? I am sorry if I offended you and I really do have no problem with speculation and role playing and what not.


Haha I love these storiess, it is quite good this one no?? Ok I'll continue it a bit.

So they all thought really hard before Skul says, 'well we will need transport...' Everyone groans and rolls their eyes before Naomi says, 'we can take my super duper car, it's quite nice really.' and they all smile, relief plastered onto their faces. However Skullduggery, now realising that actually no one like's his choice in cars even though he thought they were quite cool, goes off to sulk in a corner....

Continue it!!!

slept* Whilst I slept sorry hahaha.

Oh and thanks Sky, hugs girrll!!! :D

Irresistably EVIL!!! said...

here's a bit of stuff continued from skyril's addition to geckogirl's story. GREAT IDEA BTW!!!


Irresistably EVIL!!! rises from a secret panal in the floor. "what??? is it something cool? did dark days come to the U.S??? did you get a puppy? IS ANYONE GONNA SHARE SOME ICE CREAM WITH MEEEE?!?!?" everyone turns to skyril exspectantly whilst Irresistably EVIL!!! has a mental break down on the floor. "well" skyril says hesitantly "Skulduggery," Hellboy/inferno joe screams in desperation "WHAT?!?!?! WHAT IS IT?!?!? SPEAK WOMAN!!! AND SOMEONE REMEMBER THAT I'M HERE!!!" "we can't" replied Skulduggery "you haven't put on you special magical underware today, and everyone knows that if you are in the cave, you have to have them on or else no one can see or hear you." everyone chimes in "YEAH!!!" Hellboy/ inferno joe walks dejectedly out the cave entrance. "as i was saying before i was so rudley interuppted Skulduggery," "Hmmm??? oh, yes! now what was it you wanted to tell me skyril, hurry now my ice cream's melting." skyril just stared at him for a while, watching as a stream of vanilla ice cream flowed down (and stained)the arm of his wonderfully tailored and stylish suit. "peh, okay everyone get ready for this. what has just happened to me will affect ALL of you. it will cause a panic all through my nieghborhood and will probably slowly kill each and every one of you standing in this room." skyril pauses for dramitic effect and takes a deep, shuddering breath. "my mom... is making me play... the" at this point, skyril is nearly sobbing " is making me play, the TUBA!!!" as this horrible news washes over the ears of the group. Skulduggery's phone rings. it had caller id on it 'cause he could afford fancy gadgits and he liked to freak people out be answering the phone with their name. "hello Derek. how are you today. you must hurry because there is a dramitic situation here and i have yet to act accordingly." "Skulduggery, i must tell you, a terrible, terrible thing has happened." "those kinds of things usually do"

and thanx for looking out for me guys. i'll try to get my mom to bring me to the doctor's and have my head checked out. BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LIKE IT!!! EVEN IF THEY GIVE ME A LOLIPOP AFTERWARDS!!!

Stephanie Edgley said...

I KNOW the argument happened two years ago. But still:

Lynith i am not on your side. The only one ruining stuff was you -.it was a very good question and speculations like this are really interesting.

Why was i even reading that? I am so sad.
