Dalkey! And Forums!
For all you readers in Dublin/Wicklow, I'm going to be appearing at the Dalkey Book Festival this Sunday at 12 PM...
And does anyone know what happened to the Skulduggery Forums? It seems to have been replaced by a... web-sitey... thing...
And because I have nothing further to add, here are two well-timed photos...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4870 Newer› Newest»Yay!! 1st!!
New page! Yay!
What does that involve? Like, you'll just be going or you'll be speaking? At first i thought it was a signing... I wonder will I be let go because I live in Louth. Hmmm....
HEY ALL
*hugs*
How's everyone??
hi NJ!
*hugs NJ back*
I'm grand, thanks! How're you?
why are we all screaming first? does it count to be first on the second page, or something? because that's really 200th
Ded time...
I dedicate this page to storms
Because they are scary, awesome and freakin scary all at the same time
congratulations, Miss Cain :D
Random, try pressing 'F5'. ^_^
Very true, Random. Very true indeed.
NJ! *attacks with hugs*.
*hugs NJ back*
Hi Darquesse!!
Awesome dedication, Miss Cain!
Storms ARE awesome. ^-^
I am drenched!!
Walked up in the rain from the stop :P
I love storms :D
Well as I said Holly, I have no problem emailing you any of the audiobooks.
Same goes for anyone else if you would like them.
It's just I know how expensive they can be, I saved up a lot of money to get the whole six of them.
And now I'm confused. I posted too much.
Luciana- thanks, didn't know that. that was on the last page, though.
Well there is a giant storm going on in Perth
I think it's stopped now
Well, for now...
Holly - yeah, I agree.
It's one thing to start anew; if that's what it takes, that's fine. But some of those threads in the General Discussion forum were just awesome. (And yes, I do mean the Valduggery & Pairings threads in particular, although not just them!)
Most forum software comes with export features but those can only be accessed by admins if they have access to the live forums... if not, like what we're probably dealing with here, the database would need to be exported via the site control panel and that's something only Gen could do. :-/
I thought it was yellow corn lol
Taia- anything in particular that's true? everything I write is true, except when its not.
Alrightio, I'm off
Bye bye!!
Darquesse?
Bye Miss Cain!!
*hugs*
bye Miss Cain
and i told u all i would comment on an old comment :P
Yes, sorry Random. What you said about 1st comment really being 200th comment. :P
Bye, whoever left.
And yellow corn is modified scientifically. ^_^
Also, my comments take 5EVR to show up. *laughs*.
OH! Dear lord I thought that first picture was a woman wearing a dog costume.
And that cat is my new best friend. C"mere kitty!! Heeeere, kitty kitty kitty!
Bye Miss Cain! *waves*
WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT CORN?!?!
Anyone know the name for ?!?! on another note entirely.
Nope :/
whats 5ever? I thought it was 4ever?
Sadly, I can't remember the answer to my question, so I can't tell you.
Because, I told you, my random tangents that create conversations. *grins*.
Its better than being quiet, I guess.
Maybe because Corn is cool?
I don't know, exactly, the name for '?!?!', but my guess would be something along the lines of 'Question Mark, Exclamation mark, Question mark, Exclamation mark.'
Or 'QEQE'.
Which actually sounds pretty cute..
Taia, theres actually a name for it, but I can't remember it.
It was in a book I read. :(
Oh, really?
Well, now I'm curious...
Still, I can live with qeqe, until then..
qeqe?
Random and Taia - !? is called an interrobang.
HI PEOPLE!
Wbd.
5evr is one more than FORever. For sounds like 4 so it's funny. ^_^
Hi everyone! Haha, I'm new I just joined Blogger today to go on this Blog and comment on it and stuff. Although I might make my own blog about books, you never know! I really like the Kingdom of the Wicked Anticipation thread, I read the whole thing yeterday. All 58 pages of it *facepalm*
Yes, nights.raven? Aagh it's taking me a while to get used to this little comments yoke. Why is it in a little box??
Hey Darquesse! Nice to meet you!
*offers Darquesse a cookie*
I joined Blogger for precisely the same reason. :D
hi Darquesse! Welcome to the Blog! *hands her a 'welcome to the blog' cupcake*
nom nom, cupcake/cookie yay!
ONE OF MY FRIENDS IS THREATENING TO SHOW A CONVERSATION WHERE I REPEAT THE WORD 'F*CK' SO MANY TIMES IT IS UNREAL. BECAUSE I AM SO ANGRRRRRRYYYYYy. D:
Interrobang, huh? Makes sense, I suppose. And it's a rather funny word. :P
Still, I like the word 'qeqe...
Has anyone read the KOTW Anticipation/ Speculation? It had ssuch good ideas... And funny ones LOL. Everyone's so nice on here :)
Hello, anyone that has appeared.
Sorry, I am so p*ssed off it's unreal..
Hi guys!! Won't be able to stay long and after today I won't be on much for a couple of weeks.
'Ello everyone! :3
:)
i dont think i have read it..
:)
i dont think i have read it..
Hey Ruby! Me not seen you in... A long long time!!!!! XD
Raven! Hello! *glomps*
Wow, L. That's a little harsh of your friend, isn't it..?
Hi Lynxia! *waves*
Hi Ruby!! *waves*
You should, it's really good. Lots of new ideas about stuff like how Valkyrie turns into Darquesse etc. :)
You should, it's really good. Lots of new ideas about stuff like how Valkyrie turns into Darquesse etc. :)
Hi Taia! *glomps*
I'm in a very huggy mood today. I don't know why...
Hello, Lynxia.
And that's a shame):
You'll be greatly missed. D:
I'm BACK!!!!!
It is interrobang, thank you.
hi ruby! *glomps back*
Raven... Ah, I've missed hanging with the minions!!! :D
Ah, oh well. I promised myself I wouldn't come on today and not say anything but today has just been so bad that I just need a break.
WB Random Comments!
Hello, Random! I don't believe we've met. *waves*
And I don't have anything to say :(
And nope.
I've not said a sentence to him without a swear in it, up until literal moments ago. ^_^
wb random
How'd your exams go, Lynx?
I haven't posted much, except on this post. I posted at least 50 times here so far, but I've been gone for half an hour and no one noticed:(
*hugs Ruby back*
Well, it's certainly been a while since I last spoke to you. :P
On a random note: I keep getting the fright of my life as I type. A friend drew a mustache on my finger, and it keeps appearing when my hand crosses the middle of the keyboard. xD
The dog picture confused me for a while. I thought it was a lady with a dog mask at first, too. (To someone who posted probably over 50 comments ago)
Okay. I'd like to apologise for being slow, now. I don't know WHY i'm being slow, exactly. Just, am...
Purple bananas are good for you.
The blue ones are the ones you ought to look out for.
Random, when I left for a few MONTHS no one noticed.
(>^~^)> Taia! I know, I know, I've been neglecting the blogs except for one blogly post. Life's been hectic, but now it's summer!
HI Holly,
Thanks for the info! As for the competition, what usually happens is that Harper Collins whittle the entries down to a manageable level, and they send me the shortlist. From there I pick the winner.
Kribu- all those wonderful pages of seriously worrying analysis- lost!
Zafira, I know what NASCAR is, yes...! I'm assuming Talledega Nights is an accurate representation...?
Skully4hire- 547 in taxes?? Good God!!
Luciana- you wrote about Skulduggery in your history exam? Ahem. You DO realise I made them up, right...?
Emerald- be sure to remind me that I know you from this Blog!
And now I have work to do...
Has the group that wanted to put Bliss in charge, destroyed the Sanctuary in DD, and manipulated the other baddies been named yet? (W/out spoiling DB, please- I'll finally get it next month)
#DEREK.
PMHRgt07hyuxfp-vlo0jiojnx;
PLEASE STAY. I NEED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT DARQUESSE!
Also, yes. Yes I do.
But Mortal Coil, Dark Days and Death Bringer were good references to make in my history exam...
Awesome, Ruby!
My summer break doesn't start for another five or six weeks, yet.
Luckily, the majority of those weeks won't be too hard. Things start to slow down a little at this time of year.
Thanks, Derek. I asked that, too.
hi derek!!!!!
OH MY GOLDEN GOD DEREK LANDY!
Also, I just hurt my fingers keyboard smashing because OH MY GOLDEN GOD IT WAS THE GOLDEN GOD.
Luciana- please tell me how that worked! that was the exam you didn't do well on, though wasn't it? is that why?
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU!
DEREKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 MASTER DEREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET NICK PHOENIX, JOHN WILLIAMS OR HANS ZIMMER TO WRITE THE MUSICAL SCORE FOR THE FILM!!!!
AND IF YOU HAD TO WALK INTO MORDOR (you can do it, your the Golden God!!!!!) WHO WOULD IT BE WITH???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS INCREDIBLE. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I-- UM-- dammit. My head was full of brilliant thoughts to say to you. Plenty of wonderfully brilliant ideas. They're just... not here...
I ADORE YOUR BOOKS. <3 YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE WRITER. AND I WILL FOREVER BE A DEDICATED AMERIMINION.
OH! It's Derek Landy!
*narrows eyes* Don't I get a hello? :P
I couldn't enter the 'ten times the awesome' competition in the end. My piece was just too freaking long...
That's the part of the exam I did WELL on. And I know I did.
BUT THE SP REFERENCES MADE IT JUST PURE AWESOME.
COME TO MASSACHUSETTS! PLEASE!
Agrh!!! Me gotta go! Byeee!*shadow walks*
Derek are you still here??? Please still be here!!!
If u are, and i REAAAAAAALLY hope u are, do u know when and if u will be able to do an American tour?
John Williams, John Williams, or John Williams, you mean. He'd bring an electric guitar, so he could ROCK into Mordor.
Ruby- and SC!!!
No, Derek, PLEASE be still on. NOOO. I don't want to miss the only chance... I have never in all the posts been able to say hello...
BYE, LYNXIA.
Also, I am starting to like my theory of penguins a little more...
Fine, I'll be here for the next,s ay, 4 minutes...!
Lynxia- if I were to walk into Mordor, I'd have Sauron beside me.
Ruby- you have amazingly good taste in writers.
Hello Taia!
Hi Ruby!
OH MY GOSH HELLO! Yes, yes I do. I also enjoy George RR Martin, and you rank ABOVE him, so...
Last time I saw you in the comments section, Derek, I missed you by less than a minute.
Because my timing is bad, like that...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY DEREK!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
Not a guitar?
even an electric one?
There's probably no electricity in prehistoric times, though.
Derek. Right.
Penguins.
Because Valkyrie Cain has a fear of penguins, does that fear transfer over to Darquesse, too? Because if so, DARQUESSE WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVEEEEEEEEEEE.
*runs away with a machete*.
*runs into tree*.
I either want to hug you or yell at you for introducing me to Doctor Who... XD I now have:
A Doctor Who almanac, A TARDIS t-shirt, a clay Dalek I made that’s about three inches tall, a TARDIS that my cousin printed with a 3D printer for me, the lyrics of every single Chameleon Circuit song memorized, hundreds of quotes stored up, Doctor Who doodles on every other piece of paper, and I use phrases like "Allons-y!" or "Wibbly wobbly timey wimey" in daily life.
I think I'll hug you. (>^~^)>
I don't like George RR Martin.
*blinks*
What..?
You're staying? Really?
*grins*
I bet I helped to persuade you, there.
Oh, and a Sonic Screwdriver and TARDIS mug thanks to my 8th grade graduation on thursday. :D
What? Random? How can you not like George RR Martin? The books are long, but well written... not as good as the Golden God, of course, but...
You got graduation presents? Arrgh!
Hey Derek! Have you checked the Skulduggery Wiki?
Hi Derek!!! I have ortho today soo
But yay!!! You know Nascar :D
I AM SO BLOODY HAPPY, NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Derek, you've just successfully stopped me from having yet another mental-breakdown. THANK YOU.
Okay then, Your Golden Godliness, a question.
If you were to have a pet dragon, what would you call it? What would it look like and what powers/abilities would it have?
And... and... Oh God I should stop babbling but I have tried in numerous ways to contact other authors and I haven't been able to, and now YOU'RE HERE and I have NEVER been able to talk to you (Though I have written a draft for a letter that I should get around to editing and rewriting and sending)
And...
And you're incredibly awesome.
I like long books, but I didn't like his use of language. he uses it completely unnecessarily. Derek's at least make sense in the situations. (not to mention are lesser).
I love the way I mention Derek blogspoke and Ravel turns up...*glares and beats up with a baguette then runs away* :P
The stories are not only well written, but the plot is positively fantastic, the dialogue humorous and fast-paced, the characters well developed, the books as a whole are fantastically wonderful, and (_INSERT SOME INANE FANGIRL BABBLE HERE_).
I'll have to rewrite that letter, cause I'm using most of the stuff that I wanted to say THERE right now HERE on this blog. <3
My guess is Smaug
I have a question, though. If I WERE to send a letter, and hypothetically it had a drawing enclosed, what would you like that drawing to be? (Anything except real humans, I can draw. Anime, animals, Doctor Who...)
I am so happy.
Full of le happy.
OH GOD. HAPPY.
OH AND DEREK...
CAN YOU SAY HI TO LE GANG? PLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE??
SORRY, I DISTONATED SLIGHTLY TOO MUCH . . .
YAY!!!!!!!!!! DEREK'S HERE!!!!!!!!
Pleeeeease answer the penguin thingy, Derek. *points to L's comment*
Hi Derek - if you're still there, could you maybe drop some hints as to what Harper Collins will be looking for when they make a shortlist? I'm sure everyone here is dying to know. *puts on best innocent face*
Did I say like long books? I mean LOVE long books (Derek, that's a hint. Make the last three longer than the first six1)
One cannot simply walk into mordor. UNLESS YOU'RE THE GOLDEN GOD.
Oh god, I LOVE LYNXIA! <3
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 *spasming*
Dear Lord. After about an entire year of missing you on the blog...
I'm with Holly. I want to know if I have a chance of you at least reading mine.
Oh, and, Derek, is there an address I can send a letter to you at?
I wish to spam you with letters, but I need an address. :P
Something around Wales/In the UK?
And, don't worry. The letters WILL have some meaning. I promise.
OR UNLESS YOU HAVE PSYCHIC PAPER LIKE THE DOCTOR.
Im watching Pocono 400 from Sunday litterally 15 minutes from my house
Heya!
Then you CAN simply walk into Mordor.
*hugs Star*
THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT, STAR! YOU'RE AMAZINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. XD *gives a purple banana*.
what about ROCK into Mordor?
HI WILLOW!
HI STAR!
And because I'm not sure that I've said it yet, HI DEREK LANDY, SIR!
But... um... Just so y'know... my username used to be 'Nicole'. I'm that weird one. :D The one who wrote letter-length posts... (without replies, I might add. But they were mostly babble. About your incredible awesomeness.)
I SECOND TAIA'S QUESTION.
AND HELLOOOOOO.
Or if you're on Sauron's side.
Derek, please still be here.
Do u know when and/or if you will be able to tour America?
Is he enjoying our ridiculous babbling or has he left us to babble?
HI, GOLDEN GOD. I don't think I said hi...
BUT NOW I HAVE.
Especially SC?
Oh, yes. On behalf of Ameriminions, well, *points to Raven's question*
I hope you can make it there some time soon.
And WHEN you tour America *coughcough* come to MA. We're the best state, of course. And I'm dying to be able to go to wherever you are... when Christopher Paolini was in NEW YORK it was right before HSPT tests and I couldn't go... T . T
Lol .....
Oooh what colours should I pick....doing SP theme on braces....hmmm
Oh, he better still be here. XD <3
Black and something. XD
Luciana, you second my question? YAY!
But, might I ask which one? :P
Ruby- you are, but I deserve some love too, I come from MA. Derek, Come to SC
Aw, Random, I love you~~~! <3
Don't worry, I'm not dissing other states. I'm trying to convince him not to overlook us.
Oh, god.... I MISSED HIM!! Did I...? Yeah I think I did... BUT: If you're still here: I just died. Because today, A girl bullied me, so I told her 'Well, yeah? I'm getting my friends Derek, Skulduggery and Valkyrie to come over here and kick your ass!!!'
She left me alone then.... MWAHAHAHAHA!! xD
Hmmm since im the mental one...black and uhm what colour RED yes red Dark Days is my favourite!
Why do I put U in words that the UK do?! Im insane
Luciana- pffft, Darquesse is scared of NOTHING!
Ruby- 'twas my pleasure! And yes, yes I am incredibly awesome. Oooh, and a Dr Who/Skulduggery crossover picture would be awesome!
Ravel- I have indeed. It's really useful, even for me, to remind myself of certain facts!
Taia- my pet dragon would be called Taia, and its power would be to, like... y'know... ask weird questions n stuff...
Luciana- but of course. Ahem. Hello, le gang. Hello.
Ink- there are so many penguin questions I can't find the one you mean...!
Random- gotcha!
Holly- I haven't a clue what they look for! I'm assuming we get a load of badly written entries, but all I ever read are well-written things, so I can assume the best written entires make it to the shortlist...!
He-he said he'd stay on... D-Derek? Golden God? Please tell me you're still there.
ALL OF THEM.
ALSOOOOOOOOOOOOo, DEREK YOU BETTER BE HERE. AND I REALLY WANT YOU TO SAY HELLO TO LE GANG AND MAKE THEM ALL CRY WITH HAPPY.
But every author overlooks us. (except Rick Riordan, but we didn't give him a choice.)
Yes! And I shall draw that immediately. <3 Prepare for an epic drawing sometime in the future.
Derek!! ; I shall repeat!! :
I just died. Because today, A girl bullied me, so I told her 'Well, yeah? I'm getting my friends Derek, Skulduggery and Valkyrie to come over here and kick your ass!!!'
She left me alone then.... MWAHAHAHAHA!! xD LOL!!
Star was talking about my question. BUT THANK YOU DEREK.
Also, would you sign a baguette?
Derek are the penguins trying to eat you?? The mutts that want spoons
DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREK :D *hands him a plate of cookies*
i am going to assume by u not answering my question, that you dont know if or when you will be able to tour America, am i right?
gotcha? on what, exactly. I knew I posted too much.
Now I am going to go draw that, so... g'bye, everyone!
(Oh, and with the contest I found, I WROTE AN ENTRY but I can't send it... >< So, ah, I'll just... I dunno... send it in the mail with my picture and letter...)
OFF TO DRAWING! YES! GOODBYE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Nights.raven- I'd prefer to assume he didn't see it. then i can hold out some hope.
Meh....dang ortho..
I better be told im getting my cursed braces off! They agotate me
yeah, im hoping he just isnt seeing my posts, too
but, im guessing
I am just going to randomly say hi... Because it's what I do. HI DEREK! AND EVERYONE ELSE.
I need to write, but I'm at dads who is a shithead and won't let me draw/ write/ read.
Okay, I know Taia commented about tis ages ago but I was looking at old Derek Landy blog posts, k? I entered the competition and in my first draft when I was only halfway finised I had 825 words but I miraculously managed to chop off ehhhh.... 375 words to have exactly 450! I spent so long doing that trying to get someting to work. I REALLY hope I at least get in te 10 runners up... What are the chances? :)
Lol
Hmmm. Derek think I'll have luck getting The Faceless Ones? Going to attempt Barnes and Nobles....
Taia- best place to send them to us Harper Collins UK. Look for the Hammersmith address in the books, on the page with all the rights information...
Hi nightsraven! Still no word on an American tour!
Er, hello again Ruby...!
Derek! how dare you assume any of our entries are badly written! we're your Minions! (and Ameriminions.)
YAAAAY The Golden God has visited the Wiki!
Is there any chance you plan to reveal specific dates that events happened in the books, and what years are each book set it? (The Wiki has guessed, although it's not been confirmed)
And I shall end this comment with:
SKULDUGGERY RULES! :p
ELLIKINSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Derek, that's really good! A lot of people on Tumblr who are part of the lovely group of SP fans (we call ourselves Skuttlebugs, mostly) were a little worried that things would be randomly chosen, so it's nice to know it's fair.
Derek- darn it. I want you to come to SC!!
I am going to say 'Hi' again.
HI EVERYONE! *Gives out cookies*
DEREK.PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE go check the SP page and see the happy Le Gang you've just caused.
We're all seriously spazzing out.
Hey Derek :) Do me a favour and get Skulduggery and Valkyrie to come to my school and kill all the people who I don't like who bully me and my friends? Yeah, could you do that?? :D XX
Also, the owner of the skulduggeryforums got back to me! "I've only just become aware that the domain expired myself. However I've talked to the hosting company and they've assured me the information is still stored on their servers for the next 30 days, until I obviously cough up the money."
aw, ok *hands Derek another cookie and hugs him* I trust you will let us know the moment you know if ur gonna be able to tour america, you will wont you? *puppy dog eyes*
LOL YES. I BE ELLIKINS XD Oh and Derek? I just have one teensy tiny thing to say. You're awesome. XD
I need to talk to Pink Rose or Komodo Devious. Where are they?
Derek. You're actually my favourite person in the world, right now.
SO FRICKING HAPPY!
OH GOD. IF YOU MENTIONED THE DEFENDERS I'D JUST SOB INTO A BAGUETTE BECAUSE IT'S SO FRICKING AMAZING.
ValkryieCain whose name is misspelled- No, he'd convert them to being good little Minions, too.
ASDFGHJKL DEREK I HAVE APPEARED BECAUSE I SAW LUCIANA POST A PHOTO ON FACEBOOK AND WHATLE NOT so yes hello.
I wish to tell you that I have expanded my SP wall, and added to it the wonderful poster I won with my name in.
I had to hammer a nail into the wall to hang the frame it's in. I wore my Thor helmet to give my the mighty strength of the gods.
It felt good
ValkyrieCain- I'm pretty sure you have succeeded in striking fear into her heart...!
Luciana- I dread the day you all start coming to signings with baguettes...!
HI Ellie!
Random- I was, of course, referring to those who are not TRUE Minions.. ahem.
Ravel- I'm never going to reveal what year each book is set, but I might reveal what years the war happened during. Maybe.
Hmmm
Im trying Barnes and Nobles after ortho. I need The Faceless Ones....no assistant shall look at me like im crazy
MEOW MIX COMMERCIAL
No!!!!!! I don't want him to convert them!!!!!!! I want them to suffer!! Feel my WRATH B*tches!!!!!! :P LOL
of course you were, Golden God.
WE'RE BRINGING BAGUETTES TO THE NEXT SIGNING.
LE GANG, THAT IS.
Hey Derek, i have another question.
What is your advice for an aspiring author on getting published?
oh cool, 1st! :D
I just screamed....
Literally screamed...
Val they deserve suffering
ASDFGHJKL HI. I might say that a lot now... If I do, ignore me. XD
