The Requiem Ball

Ooooh we have such plans for you...

The next few weeks and months are going to be choc-full of announcements and reveals. In a matter of DAYS, for example, you'll be finding out more about this "270914" thing, and after that you'll be getting all kinds of juicy goodness. But TODAY, my Minions, is the day I announce something that has been in my head for YEARS.

I am proud, excited and absolutely delighted to announce that a special, exclusive gathering will take place in London on publication day, August 28th. I give you...

The Requiem Ball.


This is an invitation only get-together — a party, if you will — with 120 places up for grabs in very special competitions for  Ireland and UK readers. You'll get the details of these competitions and other ways to nab yourself an invitation over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on this blog.

But you know I'd never leave the rest of you out of the action COMPLETELY, so we're going to have 250 party packs, jammed full of goodies, ready to send to you so that you can throw your own simultaneous Requiem Ball Parties at home. There'll be loads of stuff to download, whichever far-off country you're in, be it Ame-rica (am I pronouncing that right?) or Burkina Faso (yes, we notice EVERYTHING).

The Requiem Ball is basically my thank you to all of my Minions, for creating such a fun, creative, and frankly down-right crazy community around these books. I want to bring everyone together for one almighty celebration for the final book, and it's going to be EPIC.

Ooh
Threats

Elleni the Ghost said...

Me too :3

Chione Asahina said...

That's standard prices.

Elleni the Ghost said...

I want to be an artist, but I'm not creative enough :(

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

Ah Elleni!
*grabs her arm quickly and pulls her close again*
Don't bloomin squirm or I'll end up dropping you!
*flies much higher up*
*levels off so they're hovering*

Luciana said...

BE BACK SOON I'M GOING FOR A QUICK SHOWER <3 I LOVE YOU ALL AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK YOU ARE ALL FANTASTIC, OKAY? <3

Elleni the Ghost said...

*punches her face*
I hate you
Stupid wings

Elleni the Ghost said...

Good bye, General!
*salutes*

Miss Pleasant said...

Everyone is creative in their own ways and art means different things to different people so you've just got to find what it means to you.

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

(Oh Jesus Chi! That's a lot of money! Er...)

Elleni the Ghost said...

@miss pleasant: i guess :/ but it's hard to be successful as an artist

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

Ow you idiot!
*resists the urge to throttle her*
*holds her more comfortably around the waist*
*sets off flying properly, swooping, diving, above the tree tops*

Elleni the Ghost said...

-_-
This is not teaching
This is showing off

Miss Pleasant said...

@Elleni's Jazz Hands: true... My uncle does his art for fun and does pictures and paintings for family and friends while working as a painter and decorator.

Elleni the Ghost said...

Cool :3

My mom tells me to be an Orthdontist
So that after I get a stable job, I'll have a lot of money and time, so I can do art for fun .__.
But there's always a chance of not being able to become an orthodontist so...
Competition's tough

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

You punched me. I'll teach you to learn some respect first. Plus yoy don't even have wings! Get wings and I'll gladly teach you dingbat!
*turns to that they're looking up at the sky*
*let's go so that Jazz Hands is just laid on my stomach*
Ah. Relaxing. Don't roll off.

Elleni the Ghost said...

I'm an elemental! I'm learning to use air!!
*clutches ont Silente's collar*
I can't relax!!

Miss Pleasant said...

Yeah competition will always be tough I guess.
I want to be an English teacher but I'm still undecided. I have plenty of time to decide I guess.

Elleni the Ghost said...

My mom says I have to decide before I go into high school .__.
I'm going to high school in 2 months

Chione Asahina said...

That is a lot of money... and if I can't get enough I will hate myself for spending all of my other money because I have dreamed about being at a ball like this for so many years...

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

(BLOODY HELL TRAINS COST LOADS! WHEN DID TRAINS GET SO EXPENSIVE?!)

*laughs at her*
Chill. I got you.
*loops an arm around Jazz Hands waist*
*flips over so they're the right way up*
*does a loop de loop*
*flies back the the clearing and lands letting her go*

Miss Pleasant said...

2 months... That's not nearly enough time to make such a life changing decision.

Elleni the Ghost said...

*drops to ground*
*mutters* Thanks...

Elleni the Ghost said...

@miss pleasant: well, I should've thought about it since I was little :/ aparently.. Idk

They tell me to do what I want, and then I say what I want, and then they're like, oh it's hard to be successful. Income's low. Blah blah blah...

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

(Ha chi I have the same problem! Frickin hell trains got expensive! Only I'm only fourteen... I can't really GET a job...BUT DAMN IT IF I GET A PLACE AND CAN'T AFFORD! *is determinded*)

Chione Asahina said...

Silente, I don't think it's just trains, cause I took a train to Glasgow which is like 30 minutes away but yeah, and it was £2 something. I think it's just because it's to London. Distance and because it's a really busy and popular place.

Elleni the Ghost said...

*waves* Thanks for the ride.
I must be off, everyone.
Bye!!

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

Yeah good point. A return to manchester only cost me £5...hm...I don't know what to do. I really want to be able to go but....but that's A LOT. And even saving up all my pocket money I wouldn't be able to save up for me, never mind a guardian. I wouldn't even have a quatre of what I needed! I'd need to be getting like £40 a week.

My step dad says to look at mega bus.

Miss Pleasant said...

Bye Elleni's Jazz Hands!

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry I poofed.

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

OMG LIFE HATES ME! IT'S SO MUCH CHEAPER WITH THE MEGA BUS BUT IT'D MEAN WAKING UP AT LIKE 3 (which could mean like 1 hour sleep due to the release of TDOTL being the day before) THEN SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY IN LONDON WHICH, OKAY, NOT THAT BAD. BUT THEN THE LAST BUS BACK IS AT, LIKE, 7:30 WHICH IS TOO DAMN EARLY!

Luciana said...

I feel really ridiculous for wanting to be an author now... Haha.

Trains are stupidly expensive - look into coaches. Megabus is usually dirt cheap!


PLATO IS AMAZING OMG<3

Chione Asahina said...

Silente, e-mail.

Unknown said...

OH MY STARS I WANT TO GO SO BAD!!!! OMD this sounds awesome.... I wonder how we find put if we got invitations? :)

Luciana said...

SILENTE I AM GETTING UP STUPIDLY EARLY FOR THE LONDON SIGNING ANYWAY AND GETTING A MEGABUS COACH DOWN WITH KAYLEIGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3

Luciana said...

Wait. Silente, where (ish) do you live?

Have you looked at National Express?

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

I live in Huddersfield. But the megabus coach back leaves at 19:30 so it'd leave too early..

Trains are too expensive. It'd help if he'd specified a general area of London!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

If I threw a Requiem Ball in Washington how many people would go

Unknown said...

Is this like a fancy event? Bigger than the queens coronation? Bigger than the beginning of the universe? Because if so I'm buying a fedora.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Washington state or DC? (I'm assuming America :P)

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

Me, definitely.

If I can, that is...

(Can't RSVP for Elleni and Dugglyn, but they're in the general area as well)

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Sorry I disappeared for a while btw - had to pop into uni to collect my heels P

Luciana said...

Silente... You live an hour away from me...

Noelle said...

I've never in my life wanted to curl up in a ball and sob like I do right now.

Actually, this lines up with when my parents told me they were going to divorce.

Fucking America.

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

Ugh. £51 and a bit. Getting there at 10:30 then leaving at 23:30. So walking around London all day..either dressed for a ball or needing to find somewhere to dress for a ball....bah!

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

I love how I'm planning this despite how many people are going to go and how small the chance that I'll be chosen is.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sorry for disappearing - it'd be Washington State.

Luciana said...

Silente... Have you considered looking at two coach journeys...? Like one to one city (Sheffield for example) then from there to London? Might work out cheaper?

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

Maybe...
*goes to check*
Mbd, checking times and also emailing and what not

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

[hugs Adra]

Maralie Lily Charm said...

GOOD LORD THIS IS EXCITING

Dragona Pine said...

Any news on when the Blogland Awards results will be released? I know that you did the post saying voting has closed but yeah. :P

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

No idea dragona. We need to talk about it.

GRRR MONEY AND TIME AND STUFF!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

THE 5SOS DON'T STOP EP IS SO PERFECT

IT'S BEEN DESCRIBED AS
"IT'S LIKE FOB AND P!ATD HAD A CHILD BNAJNJM"

IT'S AMAZING AND WOW THEY CHANGED TRY HARD SO MUCH IT'S SO GOOD

Elleni the Ghost said...

I AM BACK

Alexis said...

I HATE BEING AMERICAN

WHY CANT I FREAKIN FLY TO LONDON??

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

OMG OMG OMG

IF YOU WIN WILL THEY PAY FOR PLANE TICKETS?!

Elleni the Ghost said...

I doubt it... :/

Unknown said...

I SAW ALT-J A WHILE BACK. NEW STUFF. AMAZING.

Still haven't asked my parents about it though.
I feel like I should wait until I have a place then just drop it on them that I'm going.
That must be the best way

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Yeah...

ALSO IF VAL IS STILL ON THANK YOU FOR POSTING ON TUMBLR ABOUT THIS

I WOULDN'T HAVE CHECKED OTHERWISE AND I MIGHT NOT HAVE WIFI FOR AGES

Jemma said...

Can't wait to have ma own Requiem Ball!

Elleni the Ghost said...

@ivy, dugglyn, fabi: WE MUST MEET!!!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Oi, Val, I'd love to- but seeing as I'm about as far from you as I can be while still being in the Contibental States...

Katy A said...

...Oh crap, I'm rubbish at winning competitions, I was hoping just to buy a ticket to the launch! And I'd always wanted to go to a launch too XD Oh well, this should be interesting anyway

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*hopes it's a writing competition*
*or something like that*
*not a random drawing*

Unknown said...

I'm jealous of all you girls, I'm not going to lie.

You get to wear dresses and ball gowns if you get into the ball.

I don't care if Derek doesn't set a dress code. I feel like it would have to be a formal occasion.

And I don't think my male form quite suits a ball gown.

Elleni the Ghost said...

There are suits, Remus

Unknown said...

But ball gowns are so much fancier

Elleni the Ghost said...

0:D im sure you look fabulous in a suit
Wear a tuxedo then

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Oh, booo :( I can't go to Washington state :(

Unknown said...

OOOH. Idea. Mix a ball gown with a tuxedo. Super duper fancy. Different. Make those heads swerve.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hey, Remus!
You could wear a dress- knowing this community, I bet you no one's care

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Flora, where are you?

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

I'll be in Virginia from this August to June next year

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

There's two of us in FL...? Me and Sir...

I could ask my parents if I could do one?

Unknown said...

Oh I don't think I will, just jealous of your choices.

All those choices.
*keeps searching for a tuxedo he can afford*
*that looks good on him*
I don't even know if I'm going yet and I'm planning my outfit.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Remus, I'm AMERICAN and planning my outfit

Unknown said...

This is a cruel life.

I reckon the ball should be one massive Landy house party

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

That would be awesome! :)

I wonder if there are any more Ameriminions on the east coast?
I only know Adra :/

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Flora- there's tons in Maryland/Pennsylvania.

Crap, I've got to go, bye!

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Wow, AWESOME! :D

And okie dokie, bye!

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

@Remus I'd look at travel costs first! I mean...yesh!
*realises I own no dresses*
*decides she'll have to but one IF she gets the invitation*
*won't that be fun*
Next time he should give more warning.

Unknown said...

@Silente I'm pretty lucky! Live near Reading so I'm about an hour away from London by train, quite cheap to get there actually.

*wishes he actually lived in london*
*has a waistcoat and that's it*

Luciana said...

I forget most people don't own loads of dresses... I love my dresses:3

But I do need more... I've found a cute black bodycon I'd look ace in... Might get it for the NCS graduation thingy:3


(Sorry for vanishing, by the way. Talking to turnip head)

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

Lucky! I currently panicking due to times and cost! Never mind thinking about buying a dress that looks good on someone short and squat. Ugh. MONEY IS STUPID!

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

@Remus: I live in Hampshire! What a small world :)

@Luce: Ditto, I own about a million dresses :P
And who's turnip head? :P

Luciana said...

I just love my clothes, so I've got loads:3

Turnip Head is Jade. My sister.

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

If you're short, have you tried Petite ranges in clothes stores? I'm mega short and I always get Petite dresses :)

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Haha ditto :P

And ohhhh okay :P

Flora is adorable <3

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

*owns only two dresses*
*one makes her look like a tomato/beached whale combo*
*the other is to big in the chest and short in the legs*
*despises dresses and skirts*

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

I'm totally not, but thanks :P

Unknown said...

I guess I could always lie to my parents and tell them someone's invited me to a wedding in London and I have to go by myself with a £100 tux

That's work wouldn't it?

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

Maybe not Remus..

Petite what now?
*doesn't shop much as you can tell*

Robin Snowscar said...

HELLOOO BLOGLANDERS


On the post:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW this is actually really beautiful :')

*sighs* Competition. I don't do competition. I think I am the complete opposite of lucky, I am the anti-luck like I never win anything because I'm just not good at anything xD Oh well.

I'm gonna refuse to read the last book, I think, I'm still denying it's the last one. That's six years of my life, man. My entire secondary school life from year 7-13

Unknown said...

i'm so glad i got to meet derek landy in person a few years ago, as he came to the edinburgh book festival around my birthday, and i sat in a vip seat at the very front, as m mum is in a wheelchair, and my sister sat next to charlie fletcher :) we waited at least two and a half hours for the book signing, but it felt like just a few minutes, becuase i was so exited :D he helped lift my mum's wheelchair over the bump in the door way, and my and my mum giggled like children for half an hour about it. he made fun of my sister, and i will never forget how good it felt to meet him :) a highly cherished memory. and i wonder, will tere be a dress code for this party? how cool would it be if we all got characters to dress as XD #soexited!!!!!!

Luciana said...

ROBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! *attacklehuggles*

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

*imagines it in her head with a smile*
*sighs mournfully*

Unknown said...

If I ever met Derek Landy I think I would hug him, cry and shrivel into a dark prune for the rest of eternity.

I at least want to do this all fancy looking

Robin Snowscar said...

I found a Luciana! Hewwooo *cuddles*

Unknown said...

Well if we all got to dress as characters I would so love to be the Grotesquery

Luciana said...

HOW ARE YOU ROBIN?! *sprinkles glitter in Robin's hair*

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Yeah, Derek is always such a delight to meet :)


@Silente: you can find a Petite range at a lot of clothing stores. Basically they're clothes made for shorter people, i.e. they shorten the torso section etc :) it makes dresses fit better if you're a short person :)

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

Well I Gtg now.
Remember people, where theres a will, there's a way, and a lot of you people are stubborn so im sire if you win you'll find a way :)
SEE Y'ALL REAL SOON GUYS!

Robin Snowscar said...

Bad day but floating through, as always.

I like glitter. Glitter is a happy thing.

How is you?

Robin Snowscar said...

I always forget to come here because I still talk to everyone on the chat and facebook group

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

@Flower they do? That's convenient. Well we'll see what happens. I hope more than one of us wins. And if I somehow win as well I hope to see some of you there and meet you.
As i was saying

See y'all real soon

Dia T said...

How do we get into the drawing for the party packs? Cus I'm in the US going crazy trying to figure that out. Help guys?

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Bye Silente :)

Octa said...

AH EXCITEMENT.

I actually live in London, so I must absolutely go! 120 is quite a lot of chances.

Plus I have the most perfect outfit.

Also did I see mention of Hampshire in the comments?

I go to uni in Hampshire. Uni of Southampton to be precise.

Luciana said...

*cuddles Robin* If you ever need to rant at me or anything, feel free. <3

Glitter makes me think of you, I don't know. :P glitter = Robin.

I'm okay, I think... More okay than earlier, but less okay than earlier than earlier.


Bye Silente! *waves*

Robin Snowscar said...

Hello Octa!

Because I am glitter queen :3 Facebook me if you neeeed <3

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

@Octaboona: Twas me! I live in Hampshire but go to uni in Leicester :)


*hugs Luce*
I'm always here if things aren't okay <3

Octa said...

Hey Robin!

Did you just say you were the glitter queen?

Fairly sure that I am glitter queen.

Octa said...

@ Flora

Ah, cool.

Hey Luce. *hugs* Hope things are okay. Okay?

Robin Snowscar said...

I CHALLENGE THEE TO A GLITTER WAR.

Octa said...

IT SHALL BE A CONTEST TO THE DEATH. A GLITTERY DEATH OF GREAT SPARKLE-OSITY.

Luciana said...

*hugs Robin* Thanks.

*hugs Flora* Thank you also.

*hugs Octa* Thank you.

I think I'll be okay though. Just stressed out and my moods are super fickle... But, like, more than usual? I don't know. :/

Robin Snowscar said...

*arms the cannons* AYE, THE WORLD SHALL BE CONSUMED IN GLITTER

(Spoiler alert. This is how SP ends. War over glitter.)

Robin Snowscar said...

You know I am here for you L, always have been, always will be

Luciana said...

Thanks Robin:)

But I think I'll be okay. I usually am. :3

Octa said...

Sorry for being distant.

I will remain distant for a little while, sorting out some stuff.

*arms the glitter penguins*

It is my terrible army of penguins.

They poop ALL THE GLITTER.

Robin Snowscar said...

Octa - I laugh at your puny penguin army. Ha ha!


L- You will be okay, I know you will

Jophiel said...

(Don't you Americans complain about bit being able to get there... *Looks from Australia to the UK and back again*))

Robin Snowscar said...

((Awww poor Rose :( ))

Snow said...

Thats so cool.

Wish I could go, but it's still cool.

Hia

Snow said...

Today, I'm doing a challenge. I'm not telling anyone about it. But I'm going to see how long I can go without saying anything, only writing stuff down.

This should be fun

Robin Snowscar said...

Is that Derek as a pansy?

Snow said...

Yes. Yes it is.

Snow said...

Derek Pansy is amazing.

Robin Snowscar said...

I do appreciate how awesome that is

Jophiel said...

(Did anyone read that single RP thing I put up last night...?))

Robin Snowscar said...

(( I do not live here any more ))

Snow said...

...

I am completely jealous of you lot who can actually have the chance go to the requiem.

I think I'm even worse than death. Hobart is at the bottom of tassie, whixhi is at the bottom of Australia. I am probably one of the furthest away minions.

Robin Snowscar said...

*huggles for Snow*

I'll try to get a spot but I sincerely doubt I'll get to go.

Luciana said...

Thanks for your faith, Robin. <3


I'm really tired and tomorrow is going to be a long day... I should go to bed. You're all really amazing people and it's an honour to even know you. Thank you for being who you are. I love you. <3

Goodnight x

Snow said...

Hi/bye luc.

I guess there may be minions further away but... it just feels like such a long way. And Derek's never even been to Tassie.


But yeah. Good luck to those who try to win it. :)

Robin Snowscar said...

You're beautiful, L, I love you <3 Night

Robin Snowscar said...

Omg he needs to go then it can be 'Derek Down Under'

Jophiel said...

(Goodbye LUCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I love you too! xx))

Sir said...

Indeed, Ms. Rose.

Robin Snowscar said...

Hiya, R.

Jophiel said...

(Okay, I'm just gonna be working on that plot for a while...

SHARKY!!! *Tacklehugs* I DONT CARE IF YOU EAT ME! I WUV YOU!!))

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oh my goodness!
The Requiem Ball sounds lovely! A pity I can't go. Anyways, I hope I win one of the party packages, whatever those are. I'll stay on the lookout for competitions.

*is not really here*
*is watching Spice and Wolf*

Robin Snowscar said...

I'm watching Macbeth, like a Sir

AND URGH *facedesk*
(I've read/seen TFIOS and while I didn't cry, it's still slightly painful)

MGC said...

Oh my God. How? can...be ...wow...words.
How exactly is it going to work? Does something come up at sometime and you can 'register' no matter who you are? Even if you're not part of the blog or site thingymagig? (ahemalsofangirlingmyassofftothemoonahem)

Arcanine said...

NOOOOOOO! I'm going to be in London 2 weeks after publication date!
Hopefully I'll be able to catch the end of the book tour (if you do one).
Gosh, You UK and Ireland minions are sooo lucky!!

Ahhhh! Dammit!

(I live in Australia btw)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Ok, so hi all! Hope you are all good and hope your eyes are also good!
Happy decapitation day!


So, in response to Elleni OMG! That would be so awesome! I don't know what my parents would say but.....
I'd try!

And Val V. I would go! Again don't know what my parents would say but I would love to go if possible!

See, some people don't understand how you can have friends online that you don't really know anything about. Or that it is a strong community. Or roll play. I mean, I get it. I didn't know if it was possible but this is a perfect example. I don't know if this is normal or not but either way it is awesome! Hope I can meet you all one day!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I doubt if a non-UK minion won we'd get tickets to fly over...we'd be forced to pay our lodging and flight...

I hate life, I really really do.

I feel like in every event we're punished if we don't live in the UK. The TMS thing was lucky, but it seems if 9/10 HC does it, they screw over the ones who live outside of the UK. You know, that's a tad rude. Be grateful we read the books, I don't blame Derek as he rarely has control over this type of thing, I just really hope in the next series we don't become cheated again. I would give anything to be in Dublin for a launch, to go to a signing like the others can, I know I'm luckier then most of my fellow Ameriminions, but I know exactly how they feel. I just hope something changes for the next series, because I can't think of sitting through another series and smile and pretend its all okay when in reality, I'm 16, and I can only pretend for so long, when my friends talk about events. I can try, and I have done since TEOTW.

Good lord, I've broken character.- Zaffy

Anonymous said...

Zaf, at least you had the TMS thing. I know, it's not like in the UK and stuff, but we people who don't live in the UK/ parts of Europe feel your pain.
:(

Elleni the Ghost said...

If an author has a party for a book that was published in America and nowhere else, people in other parts of the world who are fans of the book would feel left out. But hey, that's what the party packs are for.

*She crosses her legs, her hands still cuffed together* What? *Her voice is sharp*

*Billy-Ray smiled at her*

*A thought sprang into her head. The cuffs were bound. That means her True Name shouldn't be able to take effect...*

*Billy-Ray grinned at her* Wanna know a good li'l thing 'bout bein' friends with people in high places?

You get to watch them fall? *She smirked*

Nope, they'll do special li'l things for ya. Not even by threat'nin'!

*She frowned. Then swore.*
*Special sigils. Ones that stop powers but allow the True Name to be controlled...

Shit.*

*Billy-Ray laughs and ruffles her hair, instantly making defences spike up. She went to kick out at him and he sank into the ground. She frowned, standing up on the chair, slowly moving to the table*

*A hand covered her mouth and cold metal pressed against her neck*

Don't be so mean... *He whispered softly* Now, get off my table, you're gonna scratch it, Slivorrse.

*Her body slowly got off the table while her mind screamed a thousand curses* Okay...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*keeps walking with Zanida* Sister, I have a problem. The Mdgardians are trying to break my control over Zafira.

Zanida: Loki, you're really asking me this?

What did Thor say about me?

Zanida: He was angry, he wants to bring you home. I was supposed to help, but late the night before I went to Heindel and made him swear to say I went to Jodenheim, Thor knows I often visit Sefa, and I came here. I have a feeling we'll both be in for it.

I know, but you did keep your promise, something I did not expect from you.

Zanida: I may be the god of mischief's sister, but I can keep promises if I try. *smirks* I find it funny, the Midgardians do not understand why I am with you.

One would expect nothing less of the Midgardians. If any of them survived what we have, perhaps they would.

Zanida: Loki, the Tesseract, where is it?

I have it, perhaps when I manage to control Blake and Alastair, then I shall let you keep it.

Zanida: Sefa showed me how to use ice like she can. When I do, I lose my Asgardian look.

You become a Frost Giant, like her. I have always wondered if it was possible, but I know it should be for you. You're made of fire.

Zanida: I managed, it's extremely hard and tiring, but I got it now.

Good, perhaps you will be useful. I would make you queen of this realm when I take over, but it would be weird. Still, you will be second in command.

Zanida: Together, just like you said.

This may be the one time I shall not trick you, sister.

Oh my God, you're a Seattle minion? I'm from Seattle! Nice to meet you, fellow Seattlite. :)

Unknown said...

Oh my gosh Derek, this is SO COOL!!!! But why does it have to be in London? Why not west coast America? Seattle, to be specific?

You are the only author that I know that does this. Its amazing. I love how you want to bring the Skulduggery community together in these ways. :)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yay Callie!!!!
I didn't realize there were so many of us! Derek has to do something here...!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm so o happy! I know the Requiem ball is for Ireland and UK readers but if I somehow get I ticket my dad said we can go to London for the weekend!! Yeah!!!
Oh gosh, this is carzy! It takes SO long to get there!
I don't think my dad believes in me...!

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

I doubt HarperCollins will let him. -_-

But I wish!

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

Congratulations, Dugglyn!

I can't just pop over to London because time, money and doctor's appointments.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yeah, see I don't think he expects me to get one and I might have to help pay for it.....

I am trying not to get excited but it is hard not to because I'm very optimistic.

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

Well, at least you can try. :-)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Did you sign up for the theater of shadows thing? It said I couldn't at this moment...
Was it location? Age? Full? Idk....

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yeah, at least I can try...

O my golden gods

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

Location, probably. It doesn't let Ameriminions sign up.

Data collection laws.

*Her true name. All of its power. All of its torment. It belonged to him. It belonged to a cynical sociopath with a straight razor.

Great.

Just great.

And God knows what he was going to make her do.*

*Billy-Ray cleared his throat and she looked at him, still standing on the table* Oi! Get off your table! You're gonna scratch it!

*He grumbled and jumped off*
'kay, what I was gonna say before decided to be rude again, was, I think you are wonderin' how I found out your pretty li'l True Name.

*She didn't respond*

Well, ya see now, I gotta friend, not the one in the high place, but a friend of that friend. He works for the Sanctuary. He was the one who told Mr Bliss about that guy's True Name. The one that blew up the Irish Sanctuary.

*She swallowed. How many people knew her True Name then?*
