Oh Dear God... MORE Questions??


Greetings, minions. It is I. You may weep with joy or cry in fear, the choice is yours.

I take it, by the way, that you approve of Mr Tom Percival’s back cover? Is it not creepy? Is the character not intimidating? Is it not utterly, utterly fantastic? Tom contributes so much to the Skulduggery Pleasant look, and his work is hugely important to the series as a whole and how it’s presented to you, my minions.

Would the books be as good without Tom? Oh sure, they’d still be brilliantly written by a wonderful, yet wrathful, golden god, but the covers are a mind-blowingly vital part of the book. I think, in the hands of a lesser artist, some of you might not have been intrigued enough to pick up that first copy... Who, out there, picked up Skulduggery for the first time simply because of the sheer Derekosity (that’s my new word for awesome things) of the cover? You see? My minions have TASTE.

My minions also have many opinions as to who that mysterious character IS. A few of you are completely right, a few of you are completely wrong, and a few of you are completely weird.

Bliss is DEAD! He’s DEAD and he’s not coming back! Accept it and move on!!

Oh, and if you were expecting me to TELL you who he is, allow me a moment to laugh at you.

Heh.

Okay, moment over. All your questions will be answered when Mortal Coil (man, I love that title. It’s Derektastic!) is released in September.

Do you know what else my minions have, aside from great taste and opinions?  They have questions. They have lots and lots and lots of questions. Oh yes. It seems that whenever I spend a Blog entry answering questions, I get approximately three hundred MORE questions in the comments section, and so I am forced to answer THEM in the NEXT Blog entry, and thus risk incurring even MORE questions. You see what a vicious cycle we’ve locked ourselves into?

Sigh. Let’s see, what have you been yapping about...?


Corporal Wolf asked if people can reference Skulduggery in their own stories. This is absolutely fine, so long as those stories aren’t then put on sale- for instance, referencing, or even using, Skulduggery characters in fanfiction is fine, but this is not the case if you write a book or a short story you want to get published. My advice, however, is to do whatever you want, and then if you’re lucky enough to have one of your stories printed/published/sold, you can go back in and change Skulduggery’s name to something else, so you won’t infringe on copyright.

On that subject, ThreeBooksInTheFire asked if I read fanfiction, but unfortunately I have a policy where I just don’t. However, when I’m finished the books I plan to spend a few days going through some of it, just so I can go “oooh look, they guessed what was coming...!” or “oooooh, look, they were WAY off...!”

Lenka... I’ve decided I don’t much like your teacher.

Alexia wants to know what I drive- I drive an Audi A5. (black, of course) and a 1966 Ford Mustang (white).

Oh, and I chose the name Sanguine because a derivative of the word used to mean “bloodthirsty”...! Plus, the word itself sounds lazy, doesn’t it? It sounds a like a lazy, arrogant drawl, and that suits Billy-Ray PERFECTLY.

Lady Kandraker- apparently I’m heading up to Belfast in September as part of my Irish tour- I better see you there, or your golden god WILL be angry.

I’m not even going to give my OPINION on the Skulduggery/Valkyrie pairing. Basically, whatever happens in the books, happens. And whatever doesn’t, doesn’t. Yes, I am going to make you all suffer with curiosity.

Oh, and Tim Burton is a wonderful director, even if Alice in Wonderland was a dreadful film. I just wish he’d stop adapting and remaking stuff, and do something ORIGINAL again.

Minnie Miracle- most of your questions will be answered in the books themselves, and as for the ones that aren’t answered, well... they were never meant to be answered...!

Avotica, details on the winning character in the competition will come out when I’ve finished writing him into my edit of Mortal Coil. I’ve just written two new chapters in which he stars, and he’s turning out to be a LOT of fun to write about.

Avotica also asked what my favourite book would be. Hmmm... okay, I’d have to say Mucho Mojo, by Joe R Lansdale. More recently, it’s been the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie- violent, foul-mouthed fantasy books where everyone wants to kill everyone else. Also, absolutely hysterically witty.

As I said above, I thought Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was terrible. I would have MUCH preferred to see an adaptation of the American McGee version. That game was WEIRD.

As for your other questions, they will be answered in the books, not here. Sorry.

Myazaki films are amazing. Spirited Away is just.. wow...

Owen, you get the same response as Avotica and Minnie Miracle- these questions will be answered in the books!

Ambiguity, I have quite a Concrete Blonde collection around here somewhere... Two of my favourite songs, apart from the cover of Everybody Knows, is The Ghost of A Texas Ladies Man- which is something I keep playing whenever Billy-Ray Sanguine appears- and Bloodletting, which is a song I always imagine playing if ever Dusk and Caelan meet up again...

Irresistibly Evil, Skulduggery uses a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver- and it’s not the snub-nosed version. He doesn’t use a .357 or anything of that power because it would mean he’d never be able to shoot to wound- every shot would cause a limb to fly off...

Jessica, there were so many requests to go to NZ’s South Island, but my schedule didn’t allow it. But hey, you wouldn’t have been there ANYWAY, right? So next time!

Vampirefreak- I don’t know who the oddest person I ever met was. Can’t remember. The people in my family are pretty odd... My favourite animal is a dog, my favourite bad guy is Scapegrace, and my favourite Disney character is Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty.

Parhelia, I took your advice and visited Genesisnx’s page on Deviant Art- http://lonelyone.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2plm74 and I found the pictures AMAZING. Thanks for recommending it.

Speaking of Genesisnx, the forum, at http://skulduggeryforums.co.uk is BRILLIANT. Genesisnx, you have no idea how thrilled my publishers are that you went ahead and did this. Finally, you all have a chance to discuss the things you want to talk about- well done! (By the way, you’re exactly right- being a vampire is an affliction, not a power. There ARE sorcerers who have been turned into vampires, so THEY keep their magic, but most of the vamps we’ve seen so far started out as mortals, so they have none.)

I’ve also seen Cluainn Fhada’s forum, over at http://skeletondectiveftw.ipbfree.com.  Also, Cluainn? Your violent disposition makes me grin. I like your style.

Even though I don’t become a member of things (I’m a lone wolf, me), I’ve visited http://mrxpleasant.proboards.com and I’m liking what I’ve seen.

Captain Sparkler- who has a FANASTIC picture at http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq218/junebug_95_shizzle/flameflameflame-1.jpg -  asked about how I come up with names for the characters. Some of them- China, Ghastly, Tanith, Bliss and Serpine- came to me within minutes of thinking up Skulduggery. But ever since then, I’ve had to work on it.

Basically, whenever I hear an interesting word or name, I write it down in a notebook. I COLLECT these kinds of things, because I know I’m going to need them sooner or later.

For instance, I needed a taken name for Stephanie, and I didn’t have one. I had spent MONTHS trying to come up with the perfect name- I had already passed the point in the story where she decides on what it is, so I now had a great big blank space where her name should have been. I was getting close to the end of the book, and nothing was working.

So I flicked through the names I had collected, and among them was Valkyrie. And I thought- “oh”. I thought, “oh, this could work- this could be good.” Apart from anything else, Valkyrie sounds a lot like Valerie, so it SOUNDS like a normal name but isn’t. So now all I needed was a second name that fit, and it was then that I heard the phrase “raising Cain”, which meant to make trouble, and suddenly I had my character.

Acacia Volt (wonderful name, by the way) obviously wants Clarabelle and Sharon- Finbar’s wife- to play a bigger part in the books. I love writing Clarabelle, and she’s going to make another appearance or two in Mortal Coil, but as for Sharon- I don’t know... I quite like the fact that she’s always mentioned but never seen...

Ah, and that isn’t snow on the covers, that’s um... Okay, I actually don’t know what that is- ask Tom! As for the highlighted paperbacks, I don’t think we’re going to continue that, unfortunately. It’s really expensive, and now everyone’s doing it, so I think we’re going to stop before it becomes boring.

The audiobook of Dark Days is out now, but we’re fixing up a few mistakes, and so the mistake free version will be out in a few months. Oh, and I’m not going to say what happens to Guild!

Penguin- I’m sure I’ll get around to writing a “Tips on Writing” entry in this accursed Blog, sooner or later. In the meantime, you just focus on following that yellow brick road.

Happy belated birthday, Fiona!

Hollies, if my neighbour’s house went up in flames I would rush to the rescue. Well, eventually. First I’d Blog about it.

Tara- how are the exams going??

Nerdy Skeleton- “It’s your mom”. Genius. Poor comic genius.

Skyril- I doubt we’ll ever find out Skulduggery’s given name. Oh, and my nana says hi back.

NEW QUESTION! IF YOU COULD DESTROY ONE LAW, WHAT WOULD IT BE???

-HB/Joe- said...

WOAH THAT WAS ONE BIG COMMENT.

im boardering on the line of SPAMMING, here...

stay red.

~Acacia Volt~ said...

hmm Derek, i would ask you what superhero would you be? but i already know the answer and im 87.3% sure that its wolverine. and also i've recently heard that you wrote a short story about skulduggery in the american version of the first book, my question is why is it only in the american version?

~Acacia Volt~ said...

hehe im sorry for this question torture but your fans need answers!!!...or at least me.

Johanna said...

You've got so many comments.....
I'm really enviously... °_° Ha HA!!!
Ok, thats stupid of me.....
:'(
Lalalalaaa There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill
And while we still
Have the chance
Let's face the music and dance

Soon
We'll be without the moon
Humming a diff'rent tune
And then

There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Dance
Let's face the music and dance

Bababaaabaaaa!!! It's a very nice song!!!^^°
Here is the link If you want to hear it!^^°

Unknown said...

okay i dont know, but frankly i think YOU missterr landy, are being ridiculus (and i know thats not how you spell it, but i dont care), YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE ME INSANE. INSANE. INSANE. why cant you give us a hint about what happens in mortal coil?????? or do you want us TO DIE OF CURIOUSTY, LIKE THE EXPRESSION 'CURIOUSTY KILLED THE CAT.' well it will kill me, so i hope you are HAPPY. you killer. and anyway...im gonna keep asking this, and right now i have reached the begging level, PLEASE, can you come on a tour of Cranleigh in Surrey??? please. i am begging you. see? i hope your happy. you have reduced me to BEGGING. i think you dont really read ALL of these comments, it would take too long, do you have any idea how long it takes to scroll down to the end of the page? an eternity. and also to try and cheer my self up because ive just moaned, (kind of), my school breaks up on my birthdday!!!! wooo!!! also i have a question:

i wrote this book and i wanna get it published, do you have any tips on what i could do?? any help???

i will see you all again soon. maybe.

YeahItsChloe said...

Well hey, i'm going to try and keep this as short as possiabel so here's my question
1) Whenever i talk to somebody who's Skulduggery mad, it always seems to get compared to twilight. Does this bother you? And have you ever read the twilight books?
2) Another question, I LOVE the relationship between Valkyrie and Fletcher, did you intened from the begining to add somebody like Fletcher into Valkyrie's life?

p.s I just realised above there is more or less the same twilight related question up there. But i'm going to post mine anyway - it took a lot of time to think up!

This is going to say from anonomus but Saphia Song is my taken name (a tad bit boring)

HELLO PEOPLE!!!!
GECKOGIRL IS BACK!! WOOT!!
FEELLLLLIN' GUDDDD 2DAY!!!
NO MORE MOPEY SERIOUS ME ANYMORE!!!!!
IM BACK TO MY SLIGHTLY INSANE HYPER SELF AGAIN!
and for those who dont know the non-serious geckogirl then allow me to introduce myself:
Hello there, i am Geckogirl; an Skulduggery Pleasant,doctor who,merlin, darren shan and all things weird obbsessed freak. I'm also quite fond of geckos,wolves,dogs,cats,horses and alpacas. I'm back and I'm bad!
woot! woot!


hmmmm. while i was in my little serious,depressed bubble for several days i noticest many many comments i had not looked at.
first of all i am english but i dont have anything against americans. most are pretty cool (like all you american SP fans out there) but i do find some american films extreamly anoying and they make the british believe that all americans are like this but i dont think they are. i didnt really know till i came onto this blog as id never really spoken to ANY AMERICANS WHAT SO EVER but you guys ROCK! thus you are living evidence that not all americans suck.

.......wow. that was deep.... for me anyways.

onto the twilight comments
i like twilight. i really do. but the movies are rubbish. REALLY RUBBISH! they just compleatly ruin the books so ive gone off them. ALOT. i read the books before the movie and really liked them. now,twilight is just getting a bit old.
The Host by stephanie meyer on the other hand is REALLY GOOD! not amazing but still really good. i would reccomend it anyday.
THANKYOU TO THOSE WHO SUGGESTED I READ THE HUNGER GAMES (ive forgotten who now sorry :() but it is A-MAZ-ING!
gonna go read it right now. well....bout 10 mins anyway.
OHH! I HAVENT ACTUALLY SAID HI TO Robbie, Matthew meehan, Bex.,Dantea Dreadkin, jackoparons and many more peps on this blog.
.....well hi then. :)
cya
btw derek once again im gonna ask you the question i asked incase you forgot (although golden gods hardly ever forget :))
do you read darren shan and if so do u like his books?

Synopsis Somebody said...

ooo i want to read darren shan, he sounds great. i work in my school library and the kids are getting out darren shan ALL THE TIME. not sure it's my type though.

lol Hellboy wasn't that comment a bit much? ^.^
Hmm a law to destroy?...I can't think of any bad ones off the top of my brain...

See!I told y'all it was the films that make us Americans often look stupid or horrible...or something...
You're welcome about the Hunger Games suggestion.I mean not just I suggested it, but you're welcome for my suggesting it at some piont...How far are you into it?

"I, uh, I hit a tree"
"Well, I'm sure it had it coming."

Matthew Meehan said...

All Darren Shan books are amazing! Nearly as good as SP, but seeing as they're really different you can't judge one agains the other. The first Darren Shan series are all about vampires! :D The second, The Demonata series, is a mixture of demons and werewolves and people with magic.
To Geckogirl, Hey!! The Twilight movies do suck, royally. The books are pretty terrible compared to almost every other vampire/werewolf book I've read. Then again, I'm a guy and it is against my natural instincts to like Twilight full stop. ;)
I'm going to let your grammar slide because I like you.. You're an enigma and seeing as I'm slightly insane myself it is a nice feeling to know at least one other SP fan is teetering on the edge of dementia. :)
Bye!! For now ;)
Matthew.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I haven't read any Darren Shan books.
Should I?Are they interesting enough?

Matthew Meehan said...

Very! They're some of the best. Start off with the orinigal series. Cuirque Du Freak and so on. It may take a while but the twists and turns will keep you guessing.

Hey can I ask y'all what you think of some names I've heard/thought up?I'd especially like to know what Mr.Derek Landy thinks ^.^.

Aveena
Parnassus
Tenacious
Valentina

You may steal them if you wish since I highly doubt I will ever finish any books I start to make xD That's my problem.Just tell me what you think of them first ^.^

Hello Geckogirl! Welcome back!

Matthew, I have decided to forgive you for dissing Americans, but only because you are another Darren Shan fan. I can't hate anyone smart enough to like Darren. The war is over!

Skyril, I love the names, espically Aveena. Although, it woulden't realy be stealing if you told Derek he could.

Stay Weird!
Stay red! (I don't know how that one got started, but, whatever.)

-Dantea

Matthew Meehan said...

Yay!! All is forgiven and forgotten, another Irish author you like? ;) I joke, mostly.
I like Tenacious Maladroit. I may use him in an exam in english if I'm pressed. I never think of any names and always come up with something uninmaginative like "John" or "Paul"
Names totally normal and everyday that make even the most thrilling story boring.
Take names such as Larten Crepsley or Skulduggery Pleasant, they're names that'll stick with you.
Although you're royally screwed if an examiner read any of those books.

One question to everyone and the Golden God.
What is your favourite gerne of music?

Personally I have many, Dubstep Grime, Indie, Indie Disco, Alternative and some Nu Metal.

Bands in those gernes, I don't have a famous one for Dubgrime, it is a local DJ in town, DJ Koone. Indie, Arctic Monkeys. Indie Disco, Two Door Cinema Club, a great Irish band!! :D Alternative, Death Cab for Cutie. Nu Metal would have to be Hollywood Undead.

Just my pointless rambling.

I prefer hevy metal, but recently i've gotten addicted to 80's. Don't laugh.

I love Skillet, Flyleaf, 3 Doors Down, and Bon Jovi.
i like Mudvain, Sick Puppies, and Big & Ritch.

I've never heard of any of those Irish bands, but that might be because I don't live in Ireland.

-Dantea

Matthew Meehan said...

Two Door are really good. Here's some links to Two Door and DJ Koone:

I can't find anything for Koone. :/


I'm not into heavy metal much.. I love Blink-182. I've my ticket for the Ireland concert! :D Best way to end my summer.

Claire said...

Guys, I think you should leave Derek alone for now.. I have loads of random questions i wanted to ask him, but who cares?

Anyway, if you stop asking questions im sure derek will have plenty of time to finish editing the 5th book and happily plan the 6th book! <:b

However, if you keep asking him MORE questions Derek's mind will EXPLODE every minute and he'll NEVER have time to edit the 5th book. Would you rather ask questions or let him finish the book? The choice is yours <:/

Plus there is one more disadvatage (if you keep asking questions) There is a cyle, we keep asking questions and he answers them but never finishes the book, you guys will be blaming and complaining to him for not finsihing the book for extending the release date. :b

I hope you're all reading this... :b

Matthew Meehan said...

I read it!! :b

In honesty, having a peek at the unedited version would be quite intriging.

Also I'm sure the reason Derek has the 5th book finished and in the editing stages already is because he planned to have Dark Days and Mortal Coil as one book but it worked out too long.

Just my opinion, so it could be quite wrong or right on the button. We'll never know unless we're told my the Golden God himself. :b

- Matthew.

Dantea Dredkin said...

I don't have access to YouTube on my phone, but the next time I get to a computer I'll check out Two Doors.

Unknown said...

Highloeishmesslosity! I have returned! Oh, and here is one perk of America: we have a special edition of the book! It has a dark tale of skul held prisoner, and the interview with him! My stupid iPod won't let me post the link >:( but you can look it up on amazon. I am thinking of making it into a YouTube video of it, when I get the clay for stop motion. Also, I didn't relise telling about the short story would cause such a uprising

Minnie said...

Sorry. More Q's...Don't hate me. ;P

Derek, do you read any other blogs? If so, which?

Do you read reviews of your books? If so, which? (Customer reviews on Amazon, etc.?) Based on the reviews, do you change anything about the books or how you write? Like, do you ever read a review you agree with and, based on that, do more of what the reviewer liked and less of what they didn't? I mean, do you let it influence you?...Sort of. I'm not articulating very well, but you get it, right? Does it please you when you read a good review or anger you when you read a bad one? Or do you think people are just silly, spouting ridiculousals (<--fabricated word) that shouldn't be taken to heart? Or do you not read reviews at all?

Thanks, you rock!
MM =)

Minnie said...

*Thanks. You Rock!

I feel stupid right now.
You're not a rock, Derek. Unless it's meant in a good way or something...

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Ah thanks Dantea!That's true I s'pose...so you can use my names Mr.Derek Landy and I won't call it stealing. ^.^

Mm-kay Matthew.One suggestion for creating names would be to look up a word to describe the person in the thesaurus.That's actually what I did to come up with his last name."Tenacious" means persistent or unyielding and "maladroit" means clumsy or awkward.
I also thought up Droll Velocious."Droll" means amusing and "velocious" means speedy. :D Anyway I thought you may appreciate that suggestion.

Oh yes, that story at the end of book 1 is so absolutely hilarious!It was so good I read it to my parents!:P haha!Anyway... here's a link http://indies.com.au/IndiesAdmin/Objectlibrary/22022010064338.pdf

Darran Shan books are awesome :)

I would definately give them a read :D

They are good if your not a great reader, cause the writing is big and books small.

Though they suck if your a good reader, cause you go through the books so quickly :(

deathpryer said...

Hey Derek. it took me a while to read your blog. I see your ego is as planet sized as ever. wanted to enter the character competition (my name was going to be deathpryer) but broke my leg tripping over a vacuum cleaner and reading dark days (AWESOME book) at the same time. luckily it was after the book came out and after your book signing in Australia. at beecroft book shop in Sydney. i was there. the was the most totally awesome one there (excluding you of course) i think i was the only one who got my picture taken with you. still. seeing as your already great i don't have to tell you how great you are but i might as well. have i started to babble? i have. silly me. i should probably stop babbling before i start to annoy people. but i still have so much to say. have you ever considered getting a Bentley? because that would make you even more great. if that's possible. i think it is. i think i should at least put a paragraph in.

there we are......now i have no idea what to talk about......................................................Que awkward silence......still...great books. great great books...

OK now i should really wrap this up.

sincerely, Liam

p.s. did you base Gorden edgley off yourself? i think you did

Nibs said...

I know the feud is over... America is cool, Ireland is cool;but seriously the Irish Accents in your movies are terrible! No one in ireland talks like that. There are plenty of different accents in one county alone! Not everyone from Ireland is from Dublin or past, there is Munster counties as well. Also, there are tall Irish People. None of us are leprechans, trust me. Dublin is cool though, it's where the great Skulduggery is based!

Okay sorry rant over.

Skulduggery Rocks!

Elysse said...

How did Skulduggery come back after he was killed? I don't remember reading that part. I know that he's held together by magic and by his own willpower or something like that, but how did he go from DEAD to a LIVING SKELETON? Did he just rise from the grave? Or was it something else?

And does Skulduggery's name mean anything? How did you come up with it?

Please answer those questions. Btw I'm your HUGEST fan in Hong Kong! =D

GGAAAHHHHHH!!!!! I HAD A HUGE COMMENT BUT IT ALL WWEEnNTT!!!! GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

DARREN SHAN BOOKS ROCK!! WOOT! especially Lord Loss! i personally think that is the best book but on the whole the vampire series is better.
Skyril i am up to page172 in the Hunger Games but it is so amazing that im hoping to finish it tonight! :D
YAY!!!! Matthew Meehan thinks im a enigma!! woot! woot! well i think your a.....a.....pretty cool person. im sorry i cannot think of amazing words such as enigma :(
i personally like soft rock/pop.
my favorite bands include take that,cold play,kings of leon,kaiser chiefs and snow patrol. my fav song is viva la vida by coldpay who ROCK!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT!
heh. i beat my arch enemy in PE today and i scored a full rounder before she could get me out (i even did a cool slide at the end to try and be smooth. for once.....it worked.)

Hey, whoever posted that none irish is a leprecauan, that is not true ( not saying you all are) my friend is Irish, finds lots of four leaf clovers, is short, has red hair, and loves green

Anonymous said...

I realize there are already a lot of comments, but I'm going to Ireland next month (from the 16th on for a week) and I was wondering if there were any places in Dublin (or anywhere else for that matter) that inspired you. I already saw the Ha'penny Bridge on a map and I'll definitely go and see it, even though there will of course only be a bridge. They should build a memorial there... or something.
And I'd also be grateful for anything interesting you can point me to in Dublin, I want to make that week count!

Elizabeth he woke up as a bag of bones.Literally. He just woke up and he was in a bag and the bad guys had thrown him in the river.So he had to painfully put himself back together.Furthermore, indeed, skulduggery means dishonesty or trickery.

Ooo Geckogirl I love Viva La Vida too!That's one of my favorites. ^.^

I just really wanted to say I LOVE Skulduggery Pleasant and you're a brilliant writer, I can't wait to read the next book and find out what happens.
I don't want to ask any questions, but I really do just have two questions, you don't even have to answer them - I just have to ask them. So;
1) Do you think that Skul and Vak will ever be together? Cos some people are like 'oh yeah, Skul and Val should be in a relationship together' and I just DON'T see it. I like Val and Fletcher being together, it's sweet.
And
2) Is Fletcher going to be killed or get taken out of the books or is he not going to go out with Val? Just wondering cos he's an epic character and one of my fav characters.
Ok, I'm done being annoying with questions now...
Thanksss!!

Nibs said...

Yeah, but a leprechaun is a boy fairy? Is a clover just a shamrock cause I don't actually know what a clover is? Also, leprechauns are supposed to wear red jackets in some myths.

Dantea Dredkin said...

Geckogirl, definitely lemons. Without lemons, there would be no lemonade. And who in their right mind would want orangeade?

Nibbs, I've never herd of a leprechaun in a red jacket, but. . . .whatever. I don't think everyone in Ireland is a leprechaun, but it would be funny as hell if they were.

Stay weird. And red.

If you want a good book, try Uglies or Graceling. If girls out there want a good fantasy book, I would suggest Eyes Like Stars. (Not saying that the other two books aren't for girls, simply saying guys may not like the romance in Eyes Like Stars so much...)
I have a LOT of other book suggestions, so just ask me for them if you've read these books already. I am currently working at a library over the summer, so if I don't know what book you should read (should you be specific and ask for a different type of fantasy) I can ask the main procurer of books at our library... aka my favorite person ever. She's awesome. Really really awesome. She was the one who gave me Skulduggery in the first place.

Greetings from sunny Western Australia!
Mr Landy, I absolutely LOVE your books and I hope that you keep on writing. I can't help it but... will you PLEASE come to Perth in Western Australia? No one ever comes here and it gets really depressing. Also, what inspires you to write your absolutely Derekosity books? I really want to start writing a novel but I can't think of anything and it's getting REALLY frustrating! I can't wait for Mortal Coil to come out...and your right the title DOES sound Derektastic!

Ebony Orvil said...

dear golden god,
WHEN/WHERE are you touring Ireland??!!!!

AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!
I POSTED TWO COMMENTS YESTERDAY!!!! WHERE ARE THEY??!!!! GGGGGGGAAAAHHHH!!

Ok I am ok now. just to tell you i got two of my friends (well there not really my friends......) ......acquaintances to read SP no. 4! GO ME!!

Derek WHY aren't you touring to original place where SP was created?! IRELAND!!

Oh by the way Lynith/ anyone else who loves lord of the rings i am on the second book now. It was kinda lousy that they put Borimiers death at the start of the second book not at the end of the first one. If it was at the end of the first one I would have cried but since it was at the start of the second I was just like "oh". I am now on the bit with the enmoot with treebeard and marry and pippin. Treebeard is funny and merry and pippin are my favourite characters.

Matthew Meehan said...

Nightelf-elle check out The Spire, The Dáil, maybe the Four Courts too. All are great landmarks. If you're travelling around Ireland go to The Rock of Cashel, in Tipp. Go to Donegal, it is amazing.

Ebony Orvil said...

oh and also i know the book you would like. there are two of them but i only read the first one. since you seem to like violent books "The Hunger Games" would really suit you. Go try it, I know you would like it.

Oh bloody hell, so many comments already.

Well, hello. My name is Lemony and I am a Skulduggery Pleasant fan... as a matter of fact I've been doing a daily comic strip on Facebook called 'SKUL-MAN' in tribute to all those awesome characters. If you're interested here is a link to the album where I keep them all... but I expect you're too busy and important to look at them.

You're gonna hate me for this, but I have a question. When you insert music into the books, e.g. 'Ride of the Valkyries', 'The End of the World' by the Carpenters... do you intend the reader to go away and listen to these pieces in accompaniment to the book, or are you just slipping in bits of your favourite music?

Thanks! x x x

I haven't read the second book yet!I want to though...
I know isn't it great?Somebody asked what our favorite genres of music are and somebody mentioned Coldplay and Viva La Vida and a few others and I replied that we love it!!

Pop quiz!
How many people all together had died in the place Solomon Wreath first met Valkyrie?

Ten. Hang said...

Mr. Landy, hello.

I liked the covers very much, they complement the book as shadows to a picture. They weren't, though, the reason I bought the first book: I received a sample of the first chapter while visiting a book fair, and being the bookworm I am, I was eager to read more about that story.

Of course, I bought Book Two right after it was available on the bookstores. The only problem with your books, Mr. Landy, is the delay on the translation. Book Three has NOT been launched yet around here, and that annoys me as I haven't found anyone (other than me, of course) who liked your books. How can I start a rebellion about that if no one knows who is Derek Landy? HMPH.

Oh, and, before my train of thought goes faster than the speed of light, I have a few questions.

1.0) Will you ever visit Brazil in a tour? It'd be Derektastic as your mighty presence might make your books more popular around here.

2.0) Is your blog going to get "Tips on writing villains"? I ask that because (even if I like the heroic protagonist) I often cheer for the evil characters, and I have noticed that your villains are remarkable enough to get a fangirl club. (Please don't put that in your stories; Skul would have five times the trouble if he had to defeat the villains AND the scary obsessive teenagers.)

3.0) Will the Munchkin Army be available to South America? The teenagers from around here need something other than Sparkly Undead Cedric Diggory and Annoying Boy With Girly Voice Justin Bieber, and making your story more popular would probably save the few eccentric Brazilian teenagers from this hideous lack of useful content and witty remarks.

I won’t mind if you answer my questions in your next post.

Until next time, Mr. Landy!

OK, I might be stretching the truth, just a little bit. Or a lot.

OK, so I'm not getting abducted by aliens. I'm going to camp. And not forever, only for a week.

Hopefully.

I just felt like being dramatic today. Who doesn't have one of those days every now and then?

I'm going miss a weeks worth of interesting, funny, wacky stuff that goes on at this blog. I am very sad.

Sad.

Still sad.

Oh yes.I almost forgot.I have enlisted the help of secret agent Robbie to accompany you on your perilous, possibly alien infested journey.So now, I do believe, you may actually enjoy this little get away since you won't have to worry to much about aliens....though you WILL have a lot of comments to read when you get back...oh well.That, my friend, is a worry for another day.
Farewell!

Bye Dantea! I'll miss you! You keep this blog interesting! Forget about Matthew, he just likes conflict. Have fun at camp. And check back after camp is finished to see if derek answered the whole "Taken Name" question. If not, resort to your plan. Have fun at camp!

anyways i got some questions:

when does mortail coil come out in Australia? in the back of dark days it only says september, nothing specific.
this is a more detailed question:

in the third book when Valkyrie gets arrested by Crux, it describes the cells in the Gaol and make them sound really sturdy cells, with strong thick walls. however in dark days, they describe the cells as cages lifted of the ground. why are they different?

if u could answer all of my questions i would be a very happy minion =)

Trampolines are better!

:D you're welcome, Genesisnx.

Ok Robbie I think Mr.Landy doesn't like you anymore :P lol.

shewhofallsupstairs said...

okay peepzles ( i no its a cool word ) im new 2 dis whole blogging ting and i even had 2 make a google account just 2 write here!!!! i read your comments nd i fink der hilarious lol *laughs out loud*
btw may i ask how many of you are american????
just out of curiousity

Lucid Kook(Riki Fresh) said...

I can't read your blogs anymore because their way to poular for me to stand. Mine stinks! How do you get this blog to be so freagin pouplar?! I JUST DON'T GET IT! But anyway I have a question. Someone asked you if they could use Skulduggery in their stories. My question is, say if my character in a book I'm writing (who is based off of me) favorite book in all exsistence is Skulduggery Pleasant am I allowed to refer to that book in my book but not actually use the characters in the story line??? AND...lets say I have a character who is also is a skeleton but his name is something like, I don't know, Richard, and he's the pretty much the oppisite of Skulduggery except that he has a fairly decent vocabulary. You can't sue me, can you??? And how do you keep your books at a steady pace??? Mine always rush through and then I have to re write them which is the only reason I haven't totally crushed you in the best selling list. Don't take it personaly. One last question and this is the most important seeing as how I can't afford to do it myself. WHERE DO YOU FIND A FREAGIN PUBLISHER???????? I think that's it. If there's more I'll harass you later about them.

Robbie said...

I am american! And, sorry for the long comment, that was just stupis and annoying. I was just figuring out how long I could make a comment. And, Gasp! Skyril, how could you possibly imply that out golen god does'nt like me anymore! Does'nt that mean theat the earth will break beneth my feet and I willl be sent into a void of nothing! Oh, how could you say such a thing!
Stay weird and Peanut bar!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

I'm American, Chandel! ^.^

Oh yeah...sorry, Robbie.Ok so I'm sure he still likes.He just...um...maybe he ignored that comment and didn't read what you said besides 3 in order to punish you?Indeed, that is probably what he did.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Hey no one answered my pop quiz!Do y'all not know??Have I asked a question that has stumped you Skulduggery fanatics??Have I done it?No. Surely not.I think that feat is impossible to accomplish.I'll ask it again in hopes of hearing an answer this time.
How many people had died in the place Solomon Wreath first met Valkyrie?

Robbie said...

So, here is what I think will happen. I think that Valkyrie will not be able to choose which teacher to have, Solomon or Skulduggery. So, I think she will make her reflection be taught by solomon, and she will keep on learning with skulduggery. THe reflection will go evil and turn into darquesse, which is why Mr. Landy has been hinting so much at the reflection. There.

Unknown said...

hey derek, i am planing on writeing a book, andhere is whhat i wanna do: SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES!! they way i do it? put the follwing words in the book: skullduggery, pleasant, valkyrie,cain, low,ghastly,bespoke,sorrows,china,bliss, and others. just like scattered aroung the book.

Tj911 said...

...Hmm very interesting, i love to write and Mr Landy, or can i call u Derek?, Anyways I am writing a book about my character for the competition, personally I think my character was too good for your book (I am kidding btw) I was just wondering if you had any tips for wanna-be writers like myself?

Bareerah said...

Derek Landy, I LOVE YOU!...I'm sure you're very popular with the LADIES, right? Lol

Skulduggery Pleasant rox my sox off!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

That's a great idea Nova Moonshine.
I might just do that in my bo-...or...that is the outline I have in my mind of characters and plots...lol

By the way, everyone who suggested it!I have the first Cirque De Freak book!I read a good bit of it to.It shall satisfy my hunger for adventure and excitement 'till I can get my desperate hands on another of your beautiful creations, o master.

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Oh yes my dad just asked quite a good question.Is Skulduggery Pleasant right-handed or left-handed?I don't believe you ever told your loving minions whether or not he's southpaw.

Talorya Breeze said...

hmmm... Does Skulduggery even write? His house consists of like nothing!

Or is that something I read in a fanfic?

OH NOOOOO! I'm starting to confuse fanfic with the actual, amazing Skulduggery Pleasant World written by the actual, amazing golden god himself!!!!

This is not good.

I guess that means i'll have to go and re-read all your books!

*sigh*

I read way too much fanfic. It can't be good for my health.

hmm. Now for a random question... I have one!

Have you ever tried to play an instrument??

Theres your question from me for the day =)

BYE!!!

Talorya Breeze said...

Oh and I just found out what my taken name Talorya means! =)

It's a Hebrew word that means Morning Dew Drop! lol It's the 60886th most popular baby name =]

You learn something new everyday.

I know you don't want to hear it probably, but I found the name because my sister was listening to "Hold Yuh" by Gyptian and I thought at the chorus the man was saying "outside Talorya." But then I found out he was actually saying "wrap my arms around ya" or something simaler.

How I got those mixed up, I really don't have a clue.

But I thought Talorya was a pretty name anyways. =D

So was the birth of the wonderful Talorya Breeze :)

Valora Destry said...

cool name Talorya! and thanks volcanoe-gods for telling me the date mortal coil comes out! yay so exciting!!

Unknown said...

bet no one knows what my taken name means! g ahead, GUESS!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Hmmm could it be....Insane explosion of moonshine????
I know.
It's totally random!
Probably doesn't even come close to describing you name.

"You have a plan, right?"
"I do."
"Can you tell me what it is?"
"We save the world, we all go home."
"That's a good plan."
"I have my moments."
-Fletcher and Skulduggery

Valora Destry said...

im sorry, Insanity Nova Moonshine, i don't really know what your name means. on the other hand, i just found out the name Tanith means serpent lady. does that meaning hold any relevance to the actual Tanith?

Beth said...

bet your sick of question lol but tough cos ive got one too XD

im writing my own book and i was wondering why did you chose to call yours skullggery pleasent even though the main charactor is valkarye, i mean i know if all about skull-man but why skull, when it could be call many other thing???????

Matthew Meehan said...

I think it'd be pretty sweet if Skul was ciotógach :)There's a bit o' irish into the mix. :P

@Skyril you're welcome for the recommendation. Wait 'til you reach the 6th book.. It gets real intresting there.

The refelection is a good idea, but I don't think it can actually learn magic. Although would you actually need magic in your blood to learn necromancy? Seeing as the magic is stored in an object rather than your body.

Just a though.

-Matthew

Liz said...

All praise THE golden god!!

I haven't read dark days yet and my dad won't let me buy international=( how do you join the munchkin army? i'm a blue bet in kempo karate and i think a east coast munchkin branch is in order.

Claudia said...

Hi Mr Landy. It's me again. I was just wondering... would you like to come to Brunei? If you don't know where Brunei is, check it on a map. I bet it'll take you a long time before you manage to find it. Good luck.

Jimmy is ainm dom said...

HELLO!!!!!!!
Sorry I haven't commented in ages, I was at the gaelteacht. For those of you who don't live in Ireland, the gaelteacht is kinda like a summer camp that you stay at for 3 weeks and you have to talk Irish the whole time. It was the MOST. FUN. EVER. Seriously, it was UNREAL. Check this out, its one of the things we made there: http://vimeo.com/12891535
Anyway, I love the back cover! It's really cool! Also, big shout out to Cluainn Fhada, who happens to be a real good friend of mine!
Also, I really think Valkyrie should think about goin' to the gaelteacht. Seriously, she's missing out.

Unknown said...

looks like noone knows what is means, sohere it is: itrepresent the way eople inerpret me, and while some might think of moonshine a poectic, others see it as a prankster side of me, aww, im just kidding you. here it is: insanly awesome and bright person, with a peoectic and prankster side

I LOVE YOU!!!!
*pant pant pant*

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

That's easy, Beth without Skulduggery the book wouldn't be here.Valkyrie is technically the main character, but it would be much less interesting and funny were Skulduggery not there.Oh yeah and if Valkyrie started learning with, say, Tanith I think she would be dead by now. Mm-hm

What kind of challenge do you want, Thorn Phoenix? Knowledge?

Talorya Breeze said...

And techically, Skulduggery is a main character, or a secondary main character. I don't think they're would be a Valkyrie Cain without a Skulduggery Pleasant!

They're just two of a pair. One without the other would be wrong.

Don't take that the wrong way though, I would NEVER vote for them to have any other relationship than a father/daughter one.

Insanity Nova Moonshine is an awesome name; How'd you come up with it??

Unknown said...

OH COME ON LANDY.TELL US SOME TINGS I CANT WAIT 4 MORTAL COIL(great book name)TO COME OUT.

You're brilliant, amazing and inspirational.
You'd be even MORE so if you came to the United States :D especially southern, or even more specifically New Orleans.
I know it'd be hard to be even MORE amazing and what not, but 'tis indeed possible. :3

Shaima Ekirae said...

Hey. My names Aimee and I am a potential writer. I hope. I was wondering if you could give me any tips. And also, do you just sit at a desk all day thinking of witty comments and then put things in to make those comments happen or do they just 'come' to you??

Shaima Ekirae said...

Hi I'm Aimee. Can you give me any tips to being a writer? And what's your secrets? If you're not too busy could you also tell me where you get your ideas and how far you are planning to take skulduggery (Eg. how many books? What might be his greatest challenge) etc.
Thank you!
Happy writing.

SKULPRX YOU STOLE PART OF MY NAME!!! I AM LITERALLY OFFENDED!

Unknown said...

oh and breezy old girl, i came up with my AWESOME name like this: my friends often say im crazy and insane, and ever heard of the fraze there cannot be gueinis without a bit of insanity? well, im prety smart(except spelling, but then there is spell chck for that), the nova part i got from that fakt that i lurv space, perticuarly space, and novas are a ten on the prettyful scale (yes, i made up my own scale, like other gueniuses) and the moonshin part, like i sadi in a above comment, it represnt both my peotic and deep side, and my prankster side. everyonce in a wile i shout out random peoms. (oh, and if you havent noticed, there have been a lot of spelling mistakes. i did that to disguise my actuale misspelling and to annoy the grammer nazis. though my gramer is good usually, i like annoying people) NOW, IF YOU WOULD EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO GO SIT ON MY PEDISTAL, TURN ON MY PURPLE LIMELIGHT LAMP, AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. ALSO, MAYBE I SHOULD TURN OFF CAPS LOCK NOW. NAW, I LIKE SHOUTING. YAY FUR SHOUTING!




STAY PURPLELISHOUS!

La Kias Productions said...

Hi Derek, if you like American Mcgee's Alice, have you tried Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars? That is getting a film and my girlfriend loves it, what I read it sounds like he pinched a lot from the game.

Anyway just to be annoying an ask a question, as it has just ended, have you ever considered writing an episode of Doctor Who? you know, so everyone can see your Derektastic awesomeness!!

Alexandre Requiem (Lynda) said...

Hello again. I hope you answer my post about you remembering me.
You do, don't you?

So, I was wondering...the man with the golden eyes that first appears talking to Bliss in The Faceless Ones and then again talking to Marr in Dark Days, is he a semi-werewolf? As in, a character that WAS a werewolf, or a character you were trying out to be a werewolf, but you dropped the idea?
Sorry for the questions...but I am SO curious...

hahaha well it's an awesome name insanity ;)

Derek, You are WAY overdue for another post, don't you think?

We're antiously (did I spell that right?) awaiting our golden god to descend his fingers on the keys and start his journey to answer our questions!

If you don't, and you ignore them, I'll start a mob of angry fans (there will be plenty) and we'll raid your house and force you to answer!

Muhahahahahaha!

Not anymore.
9 days and we are going unquestionably insane!

Springheeled Fanatic said...

You know because you emphasised Bliss is dead that figure on the back cover could be him . . .

But I think not I think its Lord Vile seeing as he is the only one of the three generals yet to appear.

Also Derek thanks to you I am now obsessed with Springheeled Jack. . .
