News flash! There is currently no contest going on! There is no rush to comment!
Here’s why: I have a short story to write this week. Justine and I are both contributing to an anthology of five short stories called Love is Hell. It’s a sequel to Prom Nights from Hell, which featured Meg Cabot, Lauren Myracle, Michelle Jaffe, Kim Harrison, and Stephenie Meyer.
I’m not sure who’s in this one besides us yet—watch this space for news. But the stories are due soon. (And, um, mine’s going a little slowly.)
So I’m not going to post for a week or so. And when I do come back it will be with a calmer way to distribute samplers. So don’t kill yourself obsessively refreshing.
But how will you entertain yourselves? Well, for one thing you can go check out the Inside a Dog blog, where Justine and I will still be posting. It’s been really fun so far, with lots of writing questions asked and answered.
Of course, here you can while away the time doing something like . . . reading and discussing the first chapter of Extras:

ewrewr
July 17th, 2007 10:18
first?
July 17th, 2007 10:18
YES!!!!
July 17th, 2007 10:18
ttt
July 17th, 2007 10:19
omg!!
July 17th, 2007 10:19
chello
July 17th, 2007 10:19
You guys really forgot that there is no first comment contest?
Thanks for the first chapter, Scott!
July 17th, 2007 10:21
sadly people are still jumping putting pointless things. but i answered the last question do i gain anything out of that lol owell.
and thanks for putting up the 1st chapter you rock !
July 17th, 2007 10:22
aww man
and I was so excited!
I’m sitting here with my buddy and we’re feeling retarted because when we hit refresh and saw that there was a new post, we jumped out of our seats and flailed our arms. We even took all of the library’s books by Scott and had them conveniently sitting to our left… and then no contest.
Come on. We even denied food for this!
July 17th, 2007 10:23
oh yeah… thanks for the chapter
we flailed for that too.
July 17th, 2007 10:24
NO CONTEST GOING ON??? grrr…
July 17th, 2007 10:26
Oh, I didn’t read the last one as I was not here at the time it was posted, I should have read it before doing the refresh Mambo. Oh well, guess I will just have to wait for the next contest type thingy.
July 17th, 2007 10:29
thanks for the first chapter. i still dont know the deal with moggle. is it a hovercam that is illegal (like it said uptop) but why does she have one? and why is it still called new pretty town. and it said that uglies werent allowed there, at night. does that mean that she can go there durring the day? and japan seperates uglies from pretties just like america. but with the cure, wouldnt it be more like deigo. and is there a river seperating new pretty town from uglyville, like there was in tally’s town? and if tally is back in this novel, how did she get to japan? these are the questions that haunt me.
July 17th, 2007 10:29
Oooh. Now I can’t wait. There’s some things in this chapter that either nobody gets or I’m just forgetting from the other three books (face rank?). And I think I have a guess as to what an Extra is now, althought it’s probably wrong. Aya seems awesomely tricky. Thanks Scott!
July 17th, 2007 10:30
i still have a lot more questions. but i dont want to bother scott with any more.
July 17th, 2007 10:31
THERE IS NO CONTEST, AND I GOT THE LOWEST NUMBER I EVER GOTTEN! THATS NO RIGHT!
July 17th, 2007 10:31
Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to say my friends and I loved Prom Nights from Hell, and I’m excited that you and Justine are going to be in the sequal. Bubbly making!
July 17th, 2007 10:32
Scott, you’re mean. You give us the first chapter and all i want to do is keep reading but Extras only comes out in October. Owell. thanks for it any way.
July 17th, 2007 10:38
ahhh….. no contest
. I could of even been firsat if i didnt read the first part of the post.
As for the first chapter, could that not have made any less sense? What is an Extra exactlly? What happened to New Prettytown? What is up with Uglys getting surges? Not that’d I expect you to answer these questions. It’d ruin the book.
I am now offically sinced for Love is Hell! I only read part of Prom Nights from Hell though
. More inspiration to do so now, I guess. *says under breath:I cant believe your ditching us for a week*
July 17th, 2007 10:39
OMG THIS IS SOOOO EXCITING!!! Thank you soooo much for posting the first chapter Scott!!! Off to read….
July 17th, 2007 10:39
Oh yah, Thanks for the first chapter Scott!!!
July 17th, 2007 10:40
thank god i didn’t miss anything big. and it’s kinda funny that 5 people forgot that there was no more 1st comment contest anymore…but gettng the first chapter is a good consolation prize since no one got to win a sampler today!
July 17th, 2007 10:41
Australia is so dam confusing i got out of mi nice warm bed n i still missed it. You guys r u so lucky anywayz ill read da chapter n get back into bed its really cold over here
July 17th, 2007 10:43
i no i just wanted to be first…. second 3 times!
July 17th, 2007 10:47
Wow, I really love this first chapter. It seems so interesting. I want to read the whole book.
Lol. I’m such a whiner.
July 17th, 2007 10:49
That first chapter was SO good! I want to keep reading!!! I am SO excited for Extras! And all of the unanswered questions in the first chapter just make me even more excited because I know they are all going to be explained in the book and it’s going to be another awesome adventure!!! October 2nd…three words: CAN NOT WAIT!
July 17th, 2007 10:50
Thanks so much for the 1st chapter!!! I cant wait to read the whole book!!!!!
July 17th, 2007 10:51
Just a conversation starter but maybe people could answer this question just to get some talk flowing…
(For those of you who have read Uglies/Pretties/Specials…probably everybody) Which couple do you like better and why? Tally and Zane OR Tally and David? Post away!!!
July 17th, 2007 10:52
hah i like the little “Comments are stamped with Australian Eastern Standard Time” thing lol
(and we didnt forget about the contest)
July 17th, 2007 10:55
So i’m reading, get to the final sentence and scream…
NOT COOL.
Now i’m waiting for october to roll around… and i think i’ll go crazy before tomorrow.
Thanks for the first chapter!! =D
July 17th, 2007 10:56
Well I’ll just tell you which couple I like better I guess…
I like Tally and David better because even though Zane is totally sweet and can become bubbly on his own (and not to mention he died trying to help the entire Pretty population by eating one of the pills), David has always been the guy I favored because he was Tally’s first love. He opened her eyes to the problem that faced their furturistic world, and he was always there to comfort and help Tally. And even after Tally had the operation and left him for Zane, he still tried to win her over because he loved her so much. I was completely happy that Tally and David ended up together at the end of Specials (even if it wasn’t a boyfriend/girlfriend thing) because I just love that couple!
July 17th, 2007 10:57
Just a conversation starter but maybe people could answer this question just to get some talk flowing…

July 17th, 2007 11:02
I liked David and Tally better too. To me it seemed like Zane was using Tally to find out about new smoke in the beginning of pretties. But thats just me.
July 17th, 2007 11:05
Tally and David.
July 17th, 2007 11:14
Thanks for posting the first chapter, Scott! I can’t wait to read the rest of the book.
July 17th, 2007 11:27
I would just like to say:
THANK YOU SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 17th, 2007 11:32
lol on the Comments are stamped with Australian Eastern Standard Time thing. guess scott got tired of people asking.
and fexcelent first chapter! i want to find out what a face count is. from what you gave us i have an idea but i really dont know.
July 17th, 2007 11:54
thanks for posting the first chapter. i really liked how your writting showed obvious aspects of japan, yet it wasnt too much detail, which is a mistake most writers make. cant wait for the whole thing!
July 17th, 2007 12:09
Yeah I want to find out what face count is too. And I noticed a lot of differences like she had a brother and knew who he was (which never happened in uglies as far as i can remember) and her parents were crumblies but maybe that’s just because they were older than usual when they had her but in Uglies the kids never really had relations with their parents and Tally was 16 and her parents were still adult pretties. So basically I can’t wait to see what else has changed in the world after Tally’s little revolution (or should i say big).
July 17th, 2007 12:13
Oh yeah and I also can’t wait to find out what an extra is? Is it different than an ugly? Probably, or else she would’ve called herself an ugly. And we already know they are definitely different than Pretties, but they are the same age as uglies. And how exactly does somebody become “pretty” if the operation was terminated? Maybe they just move to New Pretty town once they are 16 and are allowed to get surges without parental permission. Anyone have any predictions about the book? Like how Tally is going to come back or about any of the stuff I said above? (sorry for the long posts guys I don’t really have much to do today…and I LOVE westerblog)
July 17th, 2007 12:13
**Oh yeah and I also can’t wait to find out what an extra is! (not ?)
July 17th, 2007 12:15
Nice first chapter. Thanks!!
July 17th, 2007 12:16
Tally and Zane, without a doubt. I just like Zane so much more. He really seems to care about anti-bubbleheadedness, and David grew up knowing about the lesions. Who knows what his reaction would have been if he had been raised in the city?
July 17th, 2007 12:17
And I am sososo curious about the first chapter. Especially face counts.
July 17th, 2007 12:21
I definately cannot wait for Extras now. Before, I thought maybe, just maybe, I could hold out. But no, there’s absolutely no way I can wait now. This is going to be tough.
July 17th, 2007 12:29
Dude… I am literally CRYING… And I don’t cry easily AT ALL. THAT’S how much I have been looking forward to this!! I swear, as soon as I have Extras in my hands, I’m gonna have a nervous break-down!!
I love so incredibly much how you create your own lingo, and borrow from the current one as well!! “Moggle-chan” made me screech in excitement, as did “manga-head” because I would probably be a manga-head if I lived there. XD
This is SO FREAKING AWESOME AND I SERIOUSLY CAN’T WAIT FOR THE BOOK TO COME OUT!!!!!!!!!!! *cries*
July 17th, 2007 12:30
WOW, very interesting first chapter. at first i thought, “am i the only one who thinks this chapter doesn’t make a lot of sense, or is it that i missed a bunch of details in the other three books?” i tihnk that might of been confusing, but besides that, WONEFUL first chapter scott, and i can’t wait until EXTRAS comes out. :]] it’s going to be SICKK.
July 17th, 2007 12:40
OMG i just read the first chapter of EXTRAS and now i want to read the reast no fair i want to know what happends next now i have to wait for the book to come out or scott can put up the next to chapters PPPPPLLLLEEEAASSS with a chary on the top oh and i’m sorry for the missed speald words i’m just so excited. So SCOTT you have to put the next chapters i just cant wait.And {Holly} is right it’s a bit confusing but maybe if scott puts the next pgs it wount be that confusing.
{Cant wait for extras}
July 17th, 2007 12:40
hmm. i want to read Prom Nights From Hell, but i can’t find it ANYWHERE, however, I love all of the Authors that did that, and I love Scott and Justine, so I’m sure both PNFM and LIH will be wonderful.
also, thanks for the first chapter! its wonderful! kind of short, but i absolutely cannot wait until october!
July 17th, 2007 12:57
Well this small portion brings up so many questions that I want answered so bad! If only I could keep reading :’( Heh well we will all see what happens when it comes out
Thanks for posting more to keep us going xD
July 17th, 2007 12:59
i want to read prom nights from hell too. idk where to get it.
July 17th, 2007 13:20
this post makes me so0o0o0o0o want to read extras. i think extras is a new word for uglies since nobody is really pretty any more. i think that most people get crazy surg. when they turn 16, some people look like a normal pretty, and some people kept their faces. i guess that people can get a little bit of surg. when they are 15 because the cure lets EVERYBODY have an ugly mind, so the athorities are like, “what the heck.” a lot of authors explain everything in the first chapter. the way scott only gives a little bit of info is awesome. it makes you want to know more.
July 17th, 2007 13:20
topic starter:
what was your favorite book written by scott?
July 17th, 2007 13:22
Dude! I want the rest so badly now…
I have lots of questions but I will keep them to myself haha. Ahh October is coming to slowly.
July 17th, 2007 13:25
i liked all the ones ive read. i dont have a favorite between uglies, pretties, specials, peeps, and midnighters the secret hour.
July 17th, 2007 13:26
i dare everybody to click on the next person’s name thats orange!
July 17th, 2007 13:35
how about this, what is your favorite series by Scott?
I think mine is the Midnighters
July 17th, 2007 13:53
i havent finished the midnighters series, so i would have to say uglies
July 17th, 2007 13:54
Comments are stamped with Australian Eastern Standard Time! nice to know!!!
July 17th, 2007 13:57
well i’ve only read the Uglies trilogy…but they are my favorite books ever.
oh and the extras thing could be like a loser. because on page 7 it says:
“Not if they were extras. Losers. Unknowns.”
so i kind of think that some uglies could be kind of like more noticed than others and Aya is just not very popular. i don’t know. it’s confusing. can’t wait to read it though and find out the answers to all these questions.
Thanks for the 1st chapter Scott, as always you leave us dying for more. can’t wait till October.
sorry this comment was really long. =)
July 17th, 2007 13:58
and could somebody tell me how to pronounce larbalestier!
July 17th, 2007 13:59
Kaylee, your post wasnt that long! ive seen way longer!
July 17th, 2007 14:06
Scott you need 2 check ur e-mail!!!! I SENT YOU AN E_MAIL GIVEING U AN IDEA!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr oh well
July 17th, 2007 14:08
oh and by the way my idea was to post a quiz about one of the books once a week. and who ever ger a 90 or above gets a sampler. i thought it was a good idea. i do no? do you guy like it?
July 17th, 2007 14:10
i am going 2 bed!!!!!!! Good Night!!!!!!!!
July 17th, 2007 14:10
Maybe the term extras is just a “politically correct” way of saying uglies
July 17th, 2007 14:20
Woot, thanks for the first chapter Scott.
July 17th, 2007 14:22
My post got cut off.. I’ll post the rest:
So many unanswered questions, though. xD Can’t wait to read the rest of it when it comes out x)
July 17th, 2007 14:36
one of the authors in prom nights from hell is Stephenie Meyer. my friend read a book written by her called twilight. she gave me a copy for my birthday, and i havent read it yet. if someone on the blog has read that book, is it good? my friend thinks so, but i need more than one input.
July 17th, 2007 14:36
i want to make it 70! (sorry for the double post)
July 17th, 2007 14:38
bye! (gonna go read midnighters touching darkness)
July 17th, 2007 14:53
i prefer the tally and zane relationship so much more
idk exactly why, its just that zane and her seem to have more of an actual relationship where her and david had barely started theirs and also zane just seemed to fit better with her personality ya know more of a rebel plus he was with and trying to help her fight the bubbleheadness and after everything he still would do anything to be with her idk i just much perfer them together
July 17th, 2007 14:57
gosh i can’t chose a fav book out of the ones ive read
ive read the uglies and midnighters series
out of the uglies my favorite book was pretties hands down
and out of the midnightners its a close fight between touching darkness and blue noon but my favorite is blue noon
but between blue noon and pretties i can’t choose
July 17th, 2007 15:22
um… fav couple i think i would have to say tally and david, the first time i read the books im like get out of her face david geez but then after rereading it i was like poor david he still loves her… (how can scott be so mean to his characters? what did they ever do to him, well except make ppl want to steal his computer and go crazy over the next book…)
July 17th, 2007 15:24
You’re all crazies! Haha.
Thanks so much for the first chapter, Scott. I can (almost) die happy now.
July 17th, 2007 15:38
kheidi-la im not going to be able to get on aim tonight.. im at a friends house and she doesnt have aim.. talk to u tomorrow!!
July 17th, 2007 15:42
OMG. I’ms till completely confused.
If David and Tally don’t do anything this book, I’m going to be extremely mad.
Is this book even supposed to be about David and Tally? Because Specails ened, kind of leaving you wanting more.
So, Extras should be more and I hope Tally and David are in it.
July 17th, 2007 15:53
SEVENTY EIGHT! I know the first-to-comment thing is over, but I cant help it…… SEVENTY EIGHT!
July 17th, 2007 16:11
Scott? umm, i love ur uglies series, (in the simplest way i can say that) and i wanted you to know that…
so, aya is not allowed to be in NPT? this is like what Tally did in the very first chapter of the series. i’m really interested to find out the meeting of aya with david and tally. i love the thought of them being together!!!
July 17th, 2007 16:16
omg yea. i totaly want Extras to have Tally and David in it. when i was done reading Specials i wanted more to like see what happened. and how they ended up. i really hope we get to find out in Extras!!
July 17th, 2007 16:17
My favorite book by Scott is a tie between Uglies/Pretties/Specials and Peeps.
My favorite series would have to be Uglies/Pretties/Specials because it’s the only series I’ve read. I have yet to read Last Days and I’m totally excited because my friend is going to lend it to me!!!
Oh btw Scott one of my favorite part of Peeps was how every other chapter was about a different parasite. It may have been extremely disgusting at times but it sort of helped put you in the mood for the next chapter and the rest of the book. I found it was a good reminder of what the book was really about. LUVED IT!
July 17th, 2007 16:19
OMG I totally agree!!! When I finished Specials I literally jumped up and shouted “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” and almost started crying because it was all over. So that’s why when I heard the news about Extras I almost had a heart attack (not literally…)!!! And I can’t wait for Tally and David to come back! I hope they are a pretty big part of the book. Even though it’s not from Tally’s point of view, she can still be a huge influencial and important character!
July 17th, 2007 16:22
Lauren you are totally right! This first chapter is pretty much a flash-back to the first chapter of Uglies! Tally always sneaking of the NPT and now Aya. It’s just weird because I keep picturing this city as if it were exactly the same city Tally grew up in (but I know it’s not) so hopefully as Scott describes the city in the next few chapters I can get a new picture in my head. I have got to remember the difference between Japan and the US…lol.
July 17th, 2007 16:27
yea. i agree. its hard to think of an all new place where aya is living in. i keep going back to what i was thing of with Tally. maybe as the book goes on i will picture a new place.
July 17th, 2007 16:28
opps i ment thinking not thing
July 17th, 2007 16:29
okay so like i just finished specials… And then i was all like is that it? so i wanted to know more about Scott? like is he writing another book after specials? So then i went to his page and then i found this! i am so exited to read extras. But is it in japan?? cause i heard it was? thats weird? but thanks scott for writing these books :]
July 17th, 2007 16:30
im so exited for extras!
July 17th, 2007 16:32
Woah this is weird I have a friend named Anna who I think just finished Specials but I’m not sure…haha
July 17th, 2007 16:33
Comments are stamped with Australian Eastern Standard Time
That’s soooo cool! So if we were in Australia right now it would be…16:32??? wait I know this…ummm 4:32 in the morning or afternoon? Not sure…but that’s pretty cool!
July 17th, 2007 16:36
i always get super confused with that time thing! how do you know that like what time of day it would be?
July 17th, 2007 16:58
to morgan,
i dont think you know me. lol
July 17th, 2007 17:01
okay i have a question.. so im like totally new to this web site haha. so in extras. its in japan.. but like its the same as it was in the us or wherever it was?? so confused
July 17th, 2007 18:13
AHHHHH
I leave my laptop 4 three minuites to look at this randomm bird outside and here this is!!
It twas soooo cool and brought up alot of interesting subjects and new things .
nice way of avoiding a contest Scott!!!
July 17th, 2007 19:04
i wouldnt want to be in austalia right now. we are insummer but it is winter there.
and to anna, extras takes place in japan and the main charicter is aya. the cure has been spead world wide and aya notices the differences. tally is gonna be in this book, but how she gets to japan is a question to me.
July 17th, 2007 19:05
need to make it 95…
July 17th, 2007 22:09
ahh i wish it were longer but still awsome! thanks
July 18th, 2007 01:02
Wow, that was amazing. I can’t wait for the rest!
And Amy-la, Twilight is a very good book, as is New Moon (the sequel), and Eclipse comes out August 7th.
July 18th, 2007 01:44
YAY!!!! Thanks so much for the chapter Scott!!!!! I am fascinated!! I cannot wait for the rest now. and i have so many questions but i dont want any one to tell me the answers. i want to read the book and find out on my own. WooooHooooo!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 01:44
A theory of mine: Extras are probably like the people who go on Youtube and post boring, pseudo-funny videos that nobody ever wants to watch.
Any thoughts on this from anyone besides me?
July 18th, 2007 01:48
And then there’s like a select group of Innovatory people who get to do all the cool stuff & become internet phenomenon, or however you spell it.
Am I right, Scott?
July 18th, 2007 02:09
First: Thank you, Scott!
Hmm. I don’t know who the extras are going to turn out to be. Very interesting, though.
July 18th, 2007 02:24
yay! love the first chapter. and how come everybody’s so sure Tally’s in this book?
and Amy-la: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is my favorite book! (sorry, Scott) It’s about vampires but not anything like Peeps. I don’t think there is an book that comes even close to being like Peeps. (peeps is a close second, though!!)
July 18th, 2007 03:07
love the chapter.
it is a cliff hanger
July 18th, 2007 03:09
First: THANX SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH SCOTT!
Second: Amy-la and Lauren; I was looking at past comments and saw a Hillary all over the place, and I didn’t stop to think that it might be one person rather than mutiples. I don’t think I’m very mean, well I am mean when I can’t find the book that I want or have to wait for it. But surely all of you understand that type of predicament.
Third: I thought Scott said Tally would only be making a brief cameo, or something along those lines, so I would take his word rather than get all worked up and be disappointed.
Finally: I agree with IndigoEyes, about Tally and Zane being the better couple, and David having always known about the lesions but Zane figuring it out for himself. Plus I tend to prefer the more tragic characters. Like Jacob Black.
July 18th, 2007 03:10
SORRY! that was really long!
July 18th, 2007 03:22
Um, yeah, that was awesome! -giggle- That is so…..thinking-making. Now I wonder if it’s like, way past Tally’s time or something. Cause, you said this is in Japan or something and I don’t know how fast news traveled around that time so it could have taken awhile for the ‘mind rain’ or whatever you called it to happen. hmmmm. This is making me think more than the upcoming Harry Potter book! -sniffle- (only about 5 days, give or take for that!) Don’t worry, I’ll begin to count down the days for Extras right after I’m done counting down the days for HP and Eclipse! -giggle- Don’t you love a book filled summer?? I do!
Thanks for the first chapter!
July 18th, 2007 03:32
Hp countdown:3days, 14 hours, and roughly 25 minutes. I’m a nerd. But I need a countdown for Extras on my profile, because if Harry dies, or (god forbid) Ron, I’ll need to take my mind off these dead remnants of my long lost child hood. And frankly, Scott writes better than J.K.R.
July 18th, 2007 03:41
toomanypeoplenamedhillary,
i thought harry was the one who dies in the 7th book, but my mom has convinced me otherwise. why would jk rowling kill off harry and send the whole world into fear about voldimort? if harry dies, then his mothers sacrifice would of been for nothing. with this in mind, i am said to say that i might be ron. *cry*
July 18th, 2007 03:42
p.s. ron and harry could die. did you think of that?
July 18th, 2007 03:44
Wait what?
July 18th, 2007 03:50
I’m not saying Harry will be killed by Voldemort (LORDY LOU!), I’m saying, I think, that he’ll succeed(sp?) in killing V. but one of V’s. followers will kill Harry in retaliation; or some such other thing very similar to that. J.K.R. said “Harry’s story comes to a definite end”. What the **** !!!!!!!! That is gonna make people like my cousin, poppa, and I freak and presume the worst.
July 18th, 2007 04:01
maybe everyone dies.
July 18th, 2007 04:03
if you want a good laugh, go to mugglenet.com!!! then on the side under fun, click fun lists. then click 123 ways to annoy voldemort. it is so funny. (after you do that, go to photoshop fun! after youve seen all the pictures, read the wall of shame)
July 18th, 2007 04:10
WOW! my day is going to be busy. I don’t appreciate you saying that everyone is going to die *mock tone of discomfiture*
July 18th, 2007 04:22
ok, on mugglenet.com there is a bunch of lists. onr of the lists is rejected titles. one oftitle on the list is Harry Potter Meets the Baudelaire Children and Wonders How He Got Off So Good
July 18th, 2007 04:22
Is Tally and David going to be in this next book? I hope so because it just wnt be the same without them. I can’t believe that Zane actually died!!!!!!!!! It hurt me sooooo much!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 04:26
The Uglies series were the best books I read!! They were so cool especially the Specials book that was my favorite i wish i had those special things programmed into me.
July 18th, 2007 04:29
from what i have been reading of what everyone else says they are going to be in it a little bit.. but Aya is the new main person.
July 18th, 2007 04:35
Yeah, not much Tally or David, just lotsa Aya. But she seems cool so for. I MISS ZANE!!!!
July 18th, 2007 04:43
Amy-la: Twilight is sooooooooooooo good!!!! I can’t wait for Eclipse to come out(less than a month!!!)
It’s one of the only things we can talk about on the Last Days spoiler page
July 18th, 2007 04:46
What about Midnight Sun? any word on when she is releasing that one?
July 18th, 2007 04:54
Who lurk beneath the undergrowth?
When all is dim and dark?
Who murder people in their beds
Or sometimes in the park?
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
Our blood is pure as pure!
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
We all love Voldemort!
We serve the Dark Lord every day,
We’re always very loyal
And if with us you don’t agree
We’ll boil you in hot oil!
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
We’re evil as can be!
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
But if we’re scared we’ll flee!
Our curses are incredible.
We’re known for our Morsmordres
And though our leader is insane
We always follow orders.
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
We’re wickedness collective!
Death Eaters! Death Eaters!
Yet rather ineffective!
July 18th, 2007 04:55
that was found on http://www.mugglenet.com
July 18th, 2007 05:11
Those people on the Wall of Shame are just as whacked out as Death Eaters. I grew up in a VERY christian family and they find nothing wrong with it. My poppa, a catholic, is probably more PotterObsessed than I am. Those people have a few, if not many, loose skrews in there heads.
I’m sorry for writing so much, I have too much time on my hands.
July 18th, 2007 05:13
What is so much more painful about being boiled in oil rather than water?
July 18th, 2007 05:17
haha mugglenet is a hilarious website for that stuff but its also really really good about giving up-to-date hp info. I CANT WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY!!! And like many of you said, my Extras countdown will begin right after I finish HP&DH! (which will probably only take a few days).
July 18th, 2007 05:18
i guess cuz oil rhymed lol
July 18th, 2007 05:19
Yeah ur right (i 4get who said this) but Scott did say Tally and David would only make a cameo appearance. So I guess everyone is gonna have to get used to it being all about Aya. But maybe Aya will be so similar to Tally that it won’t make much of a difference (??). But I know that I’ll always miss Tally and David no matter what!
July 18th, 2007 05:27
I heard that Hermioni dies?
In Harry Potter. So?? but theres no way in knowing yet.
July 18th, 2007 05:28
people on mugglenet:
did you see the photoshop pics? theres one of dumbledor in a ton of bling. it is so funny.
July 18th, 2007 05:29
i think snape, ron, hermione, harry, draco, and voldemort will die.
July 18th, 2007 05:29
and luna and nevil
July 18th, 2007 05:31
Yea, i’m gonna miss Tally and David too.
July 18th, 2007 05:37
I dont think Hermonie will die. There is a HUGE chance that Harry and Voldemort will die. Ron will probably die. But I think thats about it. Probably some ppl from the order and some random death eaters but ur predicting that basically every main character will die and I honestly don’t think that’s going to happen.
July 18th, 2007 05:45
She (JKR) said three very important characters would die. Now, are they important because of their sacrifice in death, or because they are main characters? HMMMMMM…
Actually, I hope Aya has a different personality, otherwise why change characters? other than wanting to change the time line?
But I do hope they have things in common, like realizing what she realy wants rather than what has (in this story) been subtley(sp?) programmed into her, as is implied, what I read into it at least, at the end of the chapter.
July 18th, 2007 05:48
okay this is probably really weird.. but whats scotts email? or does he just read these? j/w
July 18th, 2007 05:50
ok, who else saw the picture of snape’s on a plane?
July 18th, 2007 05:51
im gonna put mugglenet.com as my websit untill the 21st!

Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That’s why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.
Weasley was born in a bin,
He always lets the Quaffle in,
Weasley will make sure we win,

July 18th, 2007 06:13
out to lunch!
July 18th, 2007 06:13
sorry scott for talking about another authors books on your site!
July 18th, 2007 06:14
that was the slytherin version, there is a griffindor version of wheasley is our king, but i like slyhterin’s better
July 18th, 2007 06:15
im gonna go now.
July 18th, 2007 06:29
I think ron (in HP) will be killed like 2/3 way through book 7, and Harry will kill Voldemort but kill himself in the process. But I will be so so sad if Ron dies.
July 18th, 2007 06:35
if ron dies, i will sing whealey is our king at his funeral. (the slytherin version)

Yeah, I think I agree IndigoEyes. But why sing the Slytherin version Amy-la?
YUM! coffee!
July 18th, 2007 06:40
here is the griffindor version:
Wheasley is our King,
Wheasley is our King,
He didnt let the Quaffle in,
Wheasley is our King.
Wheasley is our King,
He never leaves a single ring,
That’s why Gryffindors all sing:

July 18th, 2007 06:48
Darn! I just got COFFEE on my glasses. SO…What’s the Slytherin version again? I am refraining from reading the entirety of the series until I have finished the 7th so that things go more smoothly and I don’t have to tear out my hair in anticipation.
July 18th, 2007 07:04
My mammi looks like a hot dog. She didn’t necessarily appreciate this comment on the colors of her attire, but at least she laughed.=)
July 18th, 2007 07:08
Oh. My. God. I screamed when I saw the chapter. Thank you so much Scott! Now it’s time for the OBSESSIVE ANALYZING EXPERIENCE. Extras – I think there might be a law about how many children you could have and if you had more than one (or the required amount) they were an ‘extra’. Because in Specials it was mentioned that population growth was controlled so it wasnt growing exponentially. They might not have the same rights, as single children, and she is almost 16, official time for being pretty. The face rank thing might be about how recognizable the uglies or extras movie feeds and stuff are.
I could be going out on a really weird theory here though, so you don’t have to listen to me.

i like the griffindor one better :]
July 18th, 2007 07:22
What the heck? My text isn’t appearing on my last post! Grr. I’m going to have to retype it. *sigh*
Tech-heads: The people whotrick things, like the uglies did to hoverboards and to get past the drones. Except pretties do it too.
Operation – It doesn’t have any regulations, like The New Smoke
I went to the New Smoke! (San Diego) Yay! Thanks again Scott!
P.S. Isn’t ‘Wheasley’ supposed to be spelled ‘Weasley’?
July 18th, 2007 07:24
I like the Slytherin one just cuz it’s longer.
Ooooooh! Kenina-chan! Your theory so far makes the most sense! I BOW DOWN TO YOUR FAWSEOME ANNALYTICAL SKILLS!
July 18th, 2007 07:28
So is the original New Pretty Town supposed to be like LA. That was my first impression when I read Uglies. And Diego was, as stated by Kenina-chan, San Diego, cuz it’s a more care-free town than LA pretends to be?
July 18th, 2007 07:28
sorry, it is weasley. and anybody who wants to laugh, click here: http://www.mugglenet.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1833&pos=1

bye pplz!
July 18th, 2007 07:34
OH Amy-la that was too funny!
July 18th, 2007 07:41
This is awesome….i love moggle…my understanding he is like a friend that you could treat like a pet but does high tech things so to me i could cross my dog with a high tech gizmo and i’d have moggle. I guess it would still suck to be 15 because most people would still getting the big surge to look perfect or different and you still couldn’t do that yet. Crazy-making…so basically it STILL sucks to be an ugly.
July 18th, 2007 07:56
I think, bnicki, your mostly right. But Moggle doesn’t/cant show affection even if it is a sort of pet.
July 18th, 2007 07:58
ToomanypeoplenamedHillary: Thanks!
OMGosh, I’m so excited. It would be so cool if the nearest Barnes & Noble had a midnight party for Extras. And I got my mom to read Uglies, and she couldn’t put it down when we were in San Diego. Now she’s reading Pretties and she won’t listen to me because she is reading. I’ll let her read in peace then.
July 18th, 2007 08:04
Thanks for posting up the first chapter of Extra Scott! :]
I would’ve been here earlier, but I had to go somewhere. -cries-
haah anyways, i’m REALLY excited to get
Is Zane going
the book Extras.
to be in it? Because I saw your
youtube account/username thing and
it says “ZaneLives” o.o
July 18th, 2007 08:05
Wait! Why are you thanking me!!!!!!? I lost myself!
July 18th, 2007 08:06
WHATZANELIVESPLEASESAYITISSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 08:14
toomanypeoplenamedhillary: you remember that video on the 1000 Sk8rs post? yeah if you click on the screen while it’s playing it redirects you to youtube and scott’s username is zanelives. but he doesn’t have any other videos though.
July 18th, 2007 08:17
I LOVE YOU! That video was really cool!
July 18th, 2007 08:20
You are right!
July 18th, 2007 08:36
Kenina-chan your theory is really good! I forgot about the whole population growth thing (like I couldnt remember why they could only have one child). HAHAHAHAHAHA Amy-la that was HILARIOUS!
July 18th, 2007 08:52
Thanks Morgan. I feel like a peep today. I got my eyes dilated because I had to go to the eye doctor. I couldn’t stand the light and worst of all, I couldn’t read! My eyes couldn’t focus on the type. I really hope Zane lives, I’m going to have to start a Zaneisnotdead website, like the dumbledoreisnotdead one. The first chapter is soooo cool. It has all these parallels to Uglies. Squeeee! I can’t stop jumping around.
July 18th, 2007 09:02
YAY EVERYONE IS IN THE SAME BOAT! I wanna change my name…any opinions?
July 18th, 2007 09:09
So, I just finished reading an iterview between Emerson, Melissa, and Jo. It answers alot, even if it is an old interview. I just had another panic attack there just so you know. I hope Zane lives! And Harry too. Emerson is pretty hot!
July 18th, 2007 09:27
If Harry doesn’t die in the fight with Voldy, he’s going to die in the epilogue. Somehow, these comment threads drift towards Harry Potter. But you see, when Specials came out, the Uglies trilogy bumped HP down to #2. I’m going to get out my crappy white t-shirt and write ‘Zane Lives’ on it. There. I am being productive.
July 18th, 2007 09:35
Harry Potter maybe cool, but how do people know if she is actually a good writer, we only know of HP from her. Whereas Scott has written other stories, so we know he is a gifted writer. He doesn’t just have one really fool series but several.
July 18th, 2007 09:35
hey, you know how scott said he had to give away those “i’m an extra” t-shirts? if i don’t get one of those i think i’ll steal a black shirt (jk, my parents own 2 t-shirt/suvenir/whatever stores, so i’ll get one from them) and get some fabric markers/paint/whatever and write that on it…and decorate it however else i want. hehe it’ll probably turn out horrible but whatever.
whatever count: 3
July 18th, 2007 09:36
sorry **souvenir
July 18th, 2007 09:41
I have a shirt that I made when I was 12: FREE HUGS BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER. Before the shirts became popular. I was the innovator.
July 18th, 2007 09:43
Totally, she makes the orphan-boy-with-magical-powers-that’s-in-a-prophecy seem not too cliché, which is really hard to do, but you can’t judge an author on how well they can pull it off. While, Scott can write original plot ideas fexcellently good.
My friend asked for 6 stakes yesterday, like one of those 8 cm tall garden plant markers, but I literally thought ‘Vampire stakes? Mmmmk.’ And got out these 3-foot long sharpened wooden stakes. That was kinda embarassing, but at least I now know where they are. I got to go find the first Midnighter’s book, I haven’t read it in forever.
July 18th, 2007 09:46
Or I could write “I Hoverboarded Barefoot And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt” or substitute in “I Climbed the Valentino Mansion Tower and all I got etc.” or “I Went To The New Smoke”
July 18th, 2007 09:50
Kenina-chan, why was your friend in need of 6 stakes in the first place? Where in our geology is the New Smoke, wait never mind, that was almost a stoopid question!
July 18th, 2007 09:55
wow hillary (i’m shortening your name—-takes too long to type) you should’ve been in so yesterday!
and kenina-chan, i
July 18th, 2007 09:55
BYE! its almost 4 here, time to go home!
July 18th, 2007 09:56
I was, except that was the rich snobby version of me. CIAO!
July 18th, 2007 09:56
eek it cut me off so kenina-chan i love your shirt ideas! i’m gonna try to think of some cool ones…nope i can’t!
July 18th, 2007 09:58
She needed one of those little planter things, that tell you what type of plant it is. It’s hard to explain.
I’ve also been meaning to read Prom Dates From Hell. Every time I forget about that book, it pops up. This time, I really am going.
July 18th, 2007 09:58
oh yeah, true! byee!
July 18th, 2007 10:36
I like the shirt idea “I Hoverboarded Barefoot And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt I would steal it if you hadnt already thought of it! lol. hmmmmmm…if anybody could think of a catchy one about the time in Pretties when they melted the bottom of the floating ice rink that would be a funny t-shirt or one about Specials when Tally fell from the cliff using only her crash bracelets. ouch!
July 18th, 2007 10:37
What about a shirt that says “I’m a Crim”??? but i guess thats not exactly a good thing..but it did seam fun at the time when the bubbleheadedness was still about.
July 18th, 2007 10:44
“Are you bubbly?” Nah… “Out of my mind… I’ll be back when my lesions heal.” or “Hi, ping-la”
July 18th, 2007 10:45
Yaay, very cool chapter. But I feel really dizzy because everything seems so familiar except for all the names. I miss Tally. You said she’d be in ‘Extras’ but I’m not expecting her to have a huge main character follow her everywhere sort of part, right?
July 18th, 2007 10:51
i like the second one, kenina-chan! maybe i’d be able to think of more if i had the book…i’ve read it but i don’t own it
July 18th, 2007 11:19
“I heart New Pretty Town”…maybe?
July 18th, 2007 11:36
thanks for the first chapter scott! Can’t wait for the book!
July 18th, 2007 11:47
how about “moggle is my homeboy”
haha jk…yeah that was idiotic but it just kinda popped into my head so i wrote it…
but what about “diego is the new pink”? or something like that… still stupid, but not as stupid (maybe). yeah me and my pathetic ideas should just be ignored right now lol.
July 18th, 2007 11:50
“Diego is the new NPT” but thats kinda weird becuz of the two new’s right after one another.
Oh yeah and if any of you want a laugh click this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=dBC_KNI7qv0
It’s only 6 seconds long and completely worth watching!
July 18th, 2007 11:51
hahaha Kenina-chan I remember that from Pretties!!! Hi ping-la! that made me CRACK UP! soooooo funny…
July 18th, 2007 11:52
Remember…watch this video it is HILARIOUS!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=dBC_KNI7qv0
July 18th, 2007 11:55
yeah morgan i thought of that but it seemed too long…like i was trying to find some kind of one-word thing term from before the mind-rain but i couldn’t…so just substitute in anything you want for “pink”
and omg that was hilarious! i love the way it cuts off just as the kid goes flying haha lol
July 18th, 2007 11:56
“Got Lesions?” Haha, nah that sounds a little wrong. It’s a happy-making fest here. I’m going to continue on my Midnighters Marathon. How fast can I read the series? Goodnight!
July 18th, 2007 11:59
I found this on Youtube. It’s a fan-made trailer for the Uglies and Pretties movies (but they used clips from these two TV shows). Honestly I don’t like it. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. It’s actually kinda creepy. I just don’t think it follows the books’ story lines very well. Not a very good one…
http://youtube.com/watch?v=BA9lN3sZ0sQ
July 18th, 2007 11:59
Are any of you totally excited for the Uglies movie???? I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 12:00
I really really want to read Midnighters!!! My friend has the first and the third book so she’s going to lend them to me. I usually read more during the school year (weird, i know) because I have a whole bunch of activities during the summer.
July 18th, 2007 12:02
Haha I’ve read the first chapter 15 times…(of Extras)…I just can’t WAIT for the book!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 12:03
Haha Taylor yeah and the little sound he makes…like he’s trying to say something and then gets cut off by the dog…hahahaha
July 18th, 2007 12:09
Maybe you already said this somewhere else, but is Extras going to be made into an audiobook?
July 18th, 2007 12:17
Okay, okay, I really didn’t fall asleep. I wish we could learn some more if the movie of Uglies is really happening and if they are going to stick with the same plot as the book. (I hope so!) And casting and stuff.
P.S. “Your boyfriend makes me bubbly”
July 18th, 2007 12:24
hahaha GOOD ONE! I like that…”Your boyfriend makes me bubbly”. You should be paid for these! lol! Yeah I want to know more about the Uglies movie too! And honestly I want to audition to be Tally because I act already (not on TV or anything…musical theater) and Tally has always been one of my dream roles! So when Scott said they were going to make an Uglies movie I was in ubber-excitment mode!
July 18th, 2007 12:25
Oh yeah how do you get your name to be orange??? Do you have to fill in a website link???
July 18th, 2007 12:26
Is my name orange???
July 18th, 2007 12:26
YAY!!! Click on my name though it’s funny…
July 18th, 2007 12:42
Morgan- don’t you get tired of that video?
July 18th, 2007 12:43
More T-Shirt ideas, inspired by the first chap of EXTRAS in a happy-making brainstorming phase.
Got Toxoplasma? (maybe my sis already posted that one)
Crash bracelets are for sissies
Your mom is a Rusty
Zane for President
I heart Ping-la
I
July 18th, 2007 12:46
Ummm… is there a word limit or something, because the second half of my post doesn’t seem to be showing up….
July 18th, 2007 12:48
Got Toxoplasma? doesn’t make sence because it is from the peeps books
July 18th, 2007 12:51
Extras…hmm I’m guessing their like uglies cause their about the same age but could they be like the uglies who are just extra, as in not really needed or thown aside. Aya claims shes good at being invisible, it that because she doesn’t really fit in?
ahhhh so many questions! also face count? are extras counted in the face count??
anyways
THANK YOU SCOTT!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 13:15
that movie tralier for uglies and pretties is kind of creapy. find it at http://youtube.com/watch?v=BA9lN3sZ0sQ
July 18th, 2007 13:39
haha yeah i cant watch the video too many times in a row…
I like “I heart Ping-la” and “Crash bracelets are for sissies”. Funny stuff…
July 18th, 2007 13:45
new website…check it out! (click name)
July 18th, 2007 13:51
nice web site, did you click my name?
July 18th, 2007 13:53
I’d so get an “I heart Ping-La” T-shirt xD The ping part in specials always made me giggle.
Hmm Amy-La you really had me thinking it was a real trailer x.x Can’t trust stinky youtube though.
What about
“Normal.Bubbly.Icy.: Which Life To Surrender To?
“Face it… I’m special!”
Umm iono what else xD I am hungry
July 18th, 2007 13:55
x.x eeek ob fangirly!!! hehe
And that is a cool site Amy-La. I saw Harry Potter OOTP Today
It rocked!
July 18th, 2007 14:15
the shirt could say “im pretty, but my mind is quite ugly”
July 18th, 2007 14:16
i cant wait till the 21st!!! my mom said we could go to the midnight party. any suggestions on what i should wear?
July 18th, 2007 14:30
You know how awesome it would be to show up at a harry potter party dressed up as voldemort xD
I mean you always see people dressed as Harry or Ron or Hermione, or just a random hogwarts student or teacher, or a random witch or wizard. I want to be voldemort just to see what people would do
July 18th, 2007 15:04
omg!! i read this article about snape and how this guy thought he was good. but then it goes into details on why he now thinks he is evil. snape killed dumbledor, but on the bottom of page 595 (us hardcover) dumbledor says, “severus … please…” that could mean that he was saying please kill me. but he could also be saying “severus, i trusted you, dont kill me.” BUT SNAPE KNOWS LEGAMENCY! snape could of read dumbledors mind before killing him. my guess is that snape is gonna get killed by the order or voldemort (voldemort might be mad because draco was suppot to kill dumbledor.)
July 18th, 2007 15:06
AshAngelAk, a voldemort costume might be too hard, how about i get an out fit that looks like a hogworts uniform and paint it white. then i would be moaning mertile
July 18th, 2007 15:10
the article alsosaid that we have all the answers from the other books. the deathly hallows could be the place behind the veil. voldemort wants to join the real world and the deathly hallows to one. or the final battle is harry and voldemort falling into the deathly hallows. either way, harry will get to see serius again.
July 18th, 2007 15:12
the 7th book is longer than the 6th, but i dont know if it is longer than the 5th
July 18th, 2007 15:23
PEOPLE CAN GET MAGICICA LATE IN THEIR LIVES! in book seven, an adult will get magical powers. but it wont be harrys aunt, uncle, or cousin. it could be a squib that turns into a wizerd/witch (i hate spelling)
July 18th, 2007 16:07
i am learing so many questions i wouldnt of thought of! now i REALLY ant wait for hp7!
July 18th, 2007 16:12
hmm. i am so0o0o0o0o0o confused! the deathly hallows might ba a group of people…
July 18th, 2007 16:26
Hmmm I never thought about the Deathly Hallows being a place behind the veil. But I still think Sirius is dead (sorry all u ppl that don’t believe that Sirius is dead….) Yeah Amy-la mugglenet is like one of my favorite sites!!! But I’m a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of Orlando Bloom! He’s talented, HOT in any way shape or form (for ex. Hot as a…pirate, elf, warrior, himself!), and did I mention HOT AND TALENTED?!?!?! He’s the perfect man (i never thought there was such a thing until I first saw him in LOTR)!!!
July 18th, 2007 16:28
Anyway about the Deathly Hallows…wow ppl have some intense theories on this. I’m just basically wanting to read and find out becuz (like Amy-la) I’m pretty much confused at this point. Oh and the reason we already have everything (or almost everything) we need to piece together the puzzle is becuz JKR wrote the ending of the series before she ever started the series. So she had to add in a bunch of events/ppl/things that would piece together this giant riddle.
July 18th, 2007 16:29
**waiting to read and find out
not wanting…but i guess wanting would work too but i meant waiting
July 18th, 2007 16:40
2 days 22 hours 20 min. till hp7!
July 18th, 2007 16:41
im gonna go now
July 18th, 2007 17:39
YAY!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I AM SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! here it’s 3 days 22 minutes and roughly 40 seconds!!!!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 17:41
Oh yeah and um sorry I’m kinda tired and don’t really want to look this up so what did Scott say that thing was in Aya’s eye (on the cover)??? Like what kind of surge…or does it say that in this chapter. Wow that’s probably just my energy-missingness speaking. But yeah what is it again???
July 18th, 2007 18:45
it is 3:43 am here, an i just fineshed the second midnighters. now i have to see if im gonna read hp7 or midnighters 3 first.
July 18th, 2007 20:09
Forget harry potter.. ECLIPSE!!!!
OMG! Its the first thing i thing about in the morning!! there are 2 weeks 6 days btw. I ordered in when there was 5 weeks 6 days. Im getting it a week later, (so for me 3 weeks 6 days) thats the earliest the book shop can get it. Grrrr im going insane!!!
July 18th, 2007 20:13
my fave scott westerfeld books are the midnighters seiries. i just got The Last Days from my school library im sooo exited to read it but i have to read the victorian young adult book awards thingys first. groan.
I cant wait for Extras!! I hope David and Tally get together. i also want to see how tally affects Aya, and how she reacts to her (remember what she said about interfearing is someone messed with the enviroment- scott mentioned it earlier)
July 18th, 2007 20:35
ECLIPSE!!!!! told u it was the only thing i could think about
heheheheh going insane!! iv bin makeing a word document of quoted of the day, my faveorite so far is todays (but i missed abou 4 days cause of camp) cause I love Jacob!! I think she turns at the end of this book cause next book is called breaking dawn, and thats the start of a new day.
July 18th, 2007 20:52
sorry if someone’s already said this, but i can’t be bothered to read all the comments right now
so i’m thinking its pretty weird how she’s an ugly (or an extra?) but she’s speaking in pretty-talk. like “vision-wrecking” or whatever. perhaps its become a trend now? to speak like that. but that’s pretty cool, its raising some questions and ideas.
haha when i was reading this, i was so confused. i was like. what the heck is moggle. etc. but i love how at the end, it ties it back to what we actually know: that being 15 sucks.
(i’m turning 16 soon!) so i’ll be out of this ugly haze. jks.
and i love tally/zane
July 18th, 2007 22:02
Yes guys. it is winter in australia.
and its totally the coldest its ever been.
a girl wrote:
“It twas soooo cool…”
it twas. so classic-ly cute.
and. i hope tally and david aren’t in extras like cal and lace were in the last days? that wasnt very cool. sigh.
haha. i finally finished all the comments. and realised mine was totally out of place. since you’re all talking bout hp and twilight now.
kenina. is very funny.
July 18th, 2007 22:54
i agree Australia is absolutely FREEZING!! were i went for camp there was ice on the ground each morning! And for all the non aust, melbourne ppl, it doesnt snow here!!
July 18th, 2007 23:15
As excited as everyone is for Harry Potter, this chapter gave me as much theories as a Harry Potter book. I LOVE Kenina-chan’s theory about who Extras are- but, sis, have you been reading too much of Ender’s Game? And what about “But, for some reason, it didn’t get the night-vision thing.”? It’s a bit repetitive, and it makes me think it’s foreshadowing something. And the last names… Fuse and Machina? A country thing or maybe… not lesions this time, but robots? The light-flashing: a paka-paka thing to control uglies?
(I know the theories are a bit out there, but…)
July 19th, 2007 00:18
Wow… you write exactly like my sister. With the same pen name as my sister. And you have the same website. I’ll talk with you about all my theories during breakfast. And I just noticed you used the word ‘sis’ in your comment. I am totally missing today.
Either everyone has lesions of some sort since they are using pretty talk or paka-paka, which I totally hope is not happening. It’s probably a fad of some sort. What if… the cure is injectable, but there was a new thing – the lesions could be injectable and target the certain place in your brain. Fuse and Machina sound like a tech-head name. I forgot what I was going to say originally, but my theory iis on comment 155.
Oh, right. “Is my surge too much?” Except it would be right across the chest, and everyone would take it the wrong way. Oooo, how about “Sayshal”, the word the people used on the reservation for “Special”. And “Lesions R Us” with “Special Circumstances” underneath.
July 19th, 2007 00:46
Okay, I cannot think of any captions for the picture contest, yet I can think of t-shirt slogans. Sorry for the double post, but Justine didn’t allow comments for her blog entry. Maybe there was a reason for that… Good luck Scott!
July 19th, 2007 03:35
I want you guys to look at this parasit I found. But I don’t know how to make my words orange!

July 19th, 2007 04:49

July 19th, 2007 05:05
huh
July 19th, 2007 05:07
Shan, chillax! Tally only makes a cameo, supposedly…make your name orange and I’ll read your story.
July 19th, 2007 06:18
i wondered why she was talking in pretty talk, but i just didnt really care because the cure has gone worldwide, so things are jumbled up.
July 19th, 2007 06:21
i cant wait for the 21st or october 2nd!
July 19th, 2007 06:22
hey, you can click on the date and time a peson posted, i dont know what it will do though. im gonna find out
July 19th, 2007 06:22

July 19th, 2007 06:23
buh bye pplz
July 19th, 2007 07:21
Ciao Amy-la. So…anyone else out there?
July 19th, 2007 07:46
Shan- I’d like to read your story and I’m writing one too!
here’s first chapter(yes it’s really short)
1. Escapism
Run.
The dark corridor lay before me, never ending and never changing. The doors continued to fly by rapidly, and the torches kept up they’re ominous glow. I could feel my heartbeat in my chest and my lungs were gasping for breath, but I couldn’t stop.
RUN!
My sight was hazy with the effort, but I couldn’t give up, not now. Not after all that I’d been through……
RUN!!!!
I screamed and forced my legs to move faster, but I couldn’t escape the doom that was sure to catch me. Then, amidst my raging emotions, a single thought crossed my mind; what was I running from?
July 19th, 2007 08:14
WHAT! Is she sleeping?
July 19th, 2007 08:20
who sleeping?
July 19th, 2007 08:29
The girl who’s running…I am going to assume she’s sleeping cuz she doesn’t know what she’s running from.
July 19th, 2007 08:31
yup, wanna read part of the second?
July 19th, 2007 08:43
YES!
July 19th, 2007 08:45
hillary! are you the same person as tomanypeoplenamedhillary!?
July 19th, 2007 08:46
(this is the first page)
2. Dawning
It was the end.
My grandfather had been sick for as long as I could remember with some mysterious disease, but he finally died…. of a heart attack. Now that he was gone, our last tie to Portland had been severed and me, my mom, my dad, and my sister were moving to the city that never sleeps, New York.
This is how I came to be sitting on the hour long plane ride from Maine to Manhattan. My mom was her usual peppy self, my sister off in her own little world, and my father grumbling about something he read in the news paper. As for myself, I was staring out at the ocean of clouds and imagined getting lost in them: the soft moister against my face, floating on the hills and dips of the puff whiteness, oblivion among the clouds.
My mom had always dreamed of living in New York, but it was my sick grandfather that kept her here. She was an artist, but my grandfather disapproved of spending your entire life painting and with a sister who is deaf, my mother was unable to follow her dream. With his death came freedom and $760,000.
“Honey? Can I get you something to drink?â€
July 19th, 2007 09:21
Yeah, I am she, she who hates others with the same name for no reason at all.
That’s really good. But I want more…where can I get more?
July 19th, 2007 09:21
How’d you figure out I changed it?
July 19th, 2007 09:23
*all others
I meant to say.
July 19th, 2007 09:27
I skipped ahead to halfway through the story, I could post the car crash?
July 19th, 2007 09:30
Who dies? *ecited tone of voice*
July 19th, 2007 09:31
**excited
gish darn it!
July 19th, 2007 09:31
***gosh!
Wow! I am bad!
July 19th, 2007 09:42
FYI: this is urban fantasy so it will get wierd
He held my face within his hands and slowly brought his lips closer to mine. My heartbeat increased as he came nearer and I closed my eyes in expectation for what was coming…..
“MARIA!!!†My father burst through the door just as Jason’s lips brushed mine. My perfect moment was ruined. “What are you doing with this boy?!â€
“I…uhh……,†how had my dad found me here? Jason quickly recoiled.
“From what I can tell you’ve been secretly dating and who knows what else behind mine and your Mother’s backs! We are going home right now!†he gripped my arm and forced me out the door. My quiet sobs did nothing to relieve his anger.
“STAY AWAY FROM HER!” he threatened Jason and quickly got in to the drivers side.
_______________________________________________
I woke up to the sound of my cars dying engine. Shards of glass were scattered all over the dashboard and my cloths were stained with blood.
“Dad!†I tried to scream but the only sound that escaped my throat was a hoarse whisper.
I tried to sit up but the slightest movement rent my skull in two. I waited, unmoving, till the pain subsided to a dull throbbing before attempting to rise again.
Finally able to look past the wreckage before me, I was beginning to understand what had happened.
My father, consumed in his rage, had narrowly missed hitting the person that came out of nowhere and drove into a ditch, but my dad was not on the seat next to me.
Slowly and painfully I dragged myself out and lay on the grass. Crying and moaning when I discovered my broken arm. I looked around for anything familiar and caught sight of a human sized lump on the ground directly in front of the car.
“DAD!†I screamed and frantically ran to his side, but the only reply was my scream of agony when I discovered that he was already gone.
“Two down, one to go,” I jumped up still craddling my arm to see a pale figure dressed in ragged cloths standing by the side of the road. His perfect features, menacing smile and wide cruel eyes made me cringe. “Such a shame your father had to go.”
Jason had warned me I was being hunted, but he never said anything about vampires.
July 19th, 2007 09:45
WAIT…WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!Where’s the middle!?!?!?!?!?!
July 19th, 2007 09:47
I told you I skipped ahead- bearly a middle
July 19th, 2007 09:47
I know you said you skipped it, but hurry up and write it, so I can find out what’s going on.
July 19th, 2007 09:51
OH NOOOOOO! It’s almost 4 here I have to go! ARGH!!!*stomps angrily around in circle*
July 19th, 2007 09:55
ah, here’s a little bit of the middle
“Why is he looking at me like that?†I steadily asked my new friend Chelsea.
“Who?†she asked. I nodded in the direction of a tall, beautiful boy with icy skin. His eyes were the blackest I had ever seen and his dark, spiked hair was died red on the tips. He was leaning against the wall talking to another boy just as tall and striking with fiery hair that stood out in all directions. Surprise lit up her face as she realized who it was.
“Oh, my god, Maria, Jason! He is, like, the hottest guy alive, and the coolest!â€
“Well I wouldn’t know that seeing as how it’s my first day at this school!â€
“Just ignore him for now and wait for him to approach you.â€
I was used to this kind of thing. I was unusually tall at almost 6 feet and I had gorgeous dark chocolate hair that fell in waves down to my shoulder blades. My eyes were a deep blue. These two gorgeous guys didn’t seem to fall for my spell, but I could feel there constant gaze on me.
July 19th, 2007 11:54
Wow Allichie did u write that??? If you did then its amazing u are a great writer! Haha I love your description of the girl’s hair (“dark chocolate hair”)…I wish my hair was that color but it’s like brown/blonde mostly on the light brown side. And deep blue eyes! How pretty!
July 19th, 2007 12:53
Ok I’m new here so i will start first by saying omg can’t wait till October and thanks for the first chapter Scott.
2. Twilight/New moon are tied for my fav books with the uglies series of course and are absolutely amazing and it’s making me go crazy waiting for eclipse and extras
3.I ♥ zane and i ♥ the zane/tally being together idea except he’s dead but i guess maybe he lives that makes me happy
4.I like the theory were it’s like 1 kid per family and so she’s an extra makes total sense, but knowing Scott it’s probably some random thing
5.allichie, i need/want more more
July 19th, 2007 13:06
wait, so if someone’s and extra they’re not the first child in a family? i thought it was because everyone’s face was rated (the face rank on her eyescreen) when they were born or whatever, and that determined your like social status or whatever. i thought that she was an extra because she wasn’t very “pretty,” since her face rank was so bad (451,396 out of 1,000,000–really low), and that was what the whole “extra” thing was. i’m probably totally wrong, but that was just the impression i got when i read it.
July 19th, 2007 13:19
i cant wait for october 2nd! i
July 19th, 2007 13:21
GRRR! i love tally and david being together
July 19th, 2007 13:21
i didnt like zane that much
July 19th, 2007 13:34
Now I can’t wait to read the book! WHEEE!!
*hyperness*
July 19th, 2007 14:16
there are 2 books comming out that i NEED right now, or im gonna explode. (if you dont know what im talking about, you havent read my other posts.) one of them is extras, and the other one… just click my name to find out what it is. (or scroll up to a previous post mentioning the seventh harry potter book. oops!)
July 19th, 2007 19:08
I have 2 books that I can’t wait to read that are coming out on the same day eclipse and fourth comings, i wonder what I’ll read first. That should occupy my mind for a while but until and after then I’m going crazy waiting for extras.
July 19th, 2007 23:56
Please people, don’t read the New York times review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. They got one of the copies that leaked out. I’m just warning you that there are major spoilers. I didn’t read it, but some unfortunate people did and are now really mad. So, yeah.
Anyways, I thought of the first child thing because of what is happening now and the fact that Akira Hall had a really low face rank, as if it was isolated. I think face rank is the scale of being famous, the lower the number, the more famous you are. I forgot what else I was going to say… I think I have the 300th post.
July 20th, 2007 00:17
Ok I’ll make sure not to read that thanks for the warning! Otherwise I probably would’ve read it and then KICKED myself later…and then cried because the book was ruined for me.
And yeah Amy-la I like Tally and David too. They are soooooo cute! David is my fav! He’s so sweet!
July 20th, 2007 00:22
If you want something nice to look at click on my name…
July 20th, 2007 02:39
OOOOOOOk…Morgan…what is this obsession with Orlando…Do you need to go to a special Orlando Bloom Rehab Clinic? There are much sexier man-beasty men out there…Like Cillian Murphy, Rupert Grint, Adrien Brody, etc.
July 20th, 2007 02:41
“Real AI might still be illegal” So, Artificial Intelligence *might* be illegal. That means that the government is not as stable as it could be, yet they do have feeds. If AI isn’t allowed, then what those tech-heads are doing is illegal, yet there seem to be a whole clique of them… I need to think about this… AND
“She’d had her own feed for a whole year now, had kicked a great story just a week ago and she was still anonymous. *Well tonight was finally going to change that*” Aha! subtle FORESHADOWING. “Reputation Bombers” Another clique? They dressed to be invisible, like Aya, so maybe this is what she will be recording on her feed, a bombing of someone’s reputation?
Oh and the thing about a ‘construction site across town’, I guess that could be another piece of evidence that the population is growing exponentially, they would need more buildings.
*~Kenina-chan~* The Obsessive Analyzer
July 20th, 2007 02:44
allichie, I’m totally loving your story, but it’s very reminiscent of Twilght. Click my name, scroll down, and when you see Scott and Justine you’ll laugh, it totally caught me off gaurd.
July 20th, 2007 02:49
Kenina-chan , you are the best Obsessive Analyzer ever! the things you come up with make the best sense!
July 20th, 2007 03:22
it’s going to be a lot more than just vampires, and oh my GOD, those pictures are sooooooooooo funny!
July 20th, 2007 03:29
I hope so! I know! My mammi though they were vulgar, but I couldn’t stop laughung.
July 20th, 2007 03:35
**laughing
July 20th, 2007 04:06
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 20th, 2007 04:23
Hahaha, that link makes me laugh.
Oh and.. “…just loads of face-missing extras grinding out merits from test scores and menial jobs.” So, the extras get the menial jobs, either from face rank, or maybe because that if they are not the first child, they don’t have as much rights. maybe the normal (first born) uglies, or high ranked uglies don’t have to try as hard to fit in with society.
Ren Machino – his name sounds like ‘wren’, the bird, or ‘ran’, and the last name is pretty obvious, it sounds like ‘machine’.
I wonder what the name of Aya’s big brother is.
Maybe I should put all of my theories/guesses in one comment, so I don’t have to look all over the place for it.
July 20th, 2007 04:30
yes! that would be a really good idea!
July 20th, 2007 04:37
Also, about the tests- a way of finding out a career for after the operation? And Moggle has a brain? (Maybe I’m taking things a little too literally, but…) How long will it take until Moggle starts killing people due to it’s screwed up brain? Okay, I’m not serious, but we’ve learned from Pretties and Specials that you should NOT mess with brains, and I think this will be back again. History will repeat itself. As Kenina-chan said, the AI- it seems to be a problem, wherever Aya lives.
July 20th, 2007 04:42
Alas! Here is all of it!
Extras – I think there might be a law about how many children you could have and if you had more than one (or the required amount) they were an ‘extra’.
Because in Specials it was mentioned that population growth was controlled so it wasn’t growing exponentially. They might not have the same rights, as single children, and she is almost 16, official time for being pretty. Anyways, I thought of the first child thing because of what is happening now and the fact that Akira Hall had a really low face rank, as if it was isolated.
Oh and the thing about a ‘construction site across town’, I guess that could be another piece of evidence that the population is growing exponentially, they would need more buildings.
I think face rank is the scale of being famous, the lower the number, the more famous you are. The ‘face’ part may be of how recognizable you are from your feeds. Feeds seem really important in this society, as Aya sees the “ego-kickers†talking into their cameras. These “ego-kickers†probably have big egos, thinking that they’ll be famous because of their feeds. OR That’s what they do; kick people’s egos, kind of like “Reputation Bombersâ€
“She’d had her own feed for a whole year now, had kicked a great story just a week ago and she was still anonymous. *Well tonight was finally going to change that*†Aha! Subtle FORESHADOWING. “Reputation Bombers.†Is it another clique that Aya might belong to, or wishes to join? They dress to be invisible, like Aya, so maybe this is what she will be recording on her feed, a bombing of someone’s reputation?
Tech-heads: The people who trick things, like the uglies did to hoverboards and to get past the drones. Except pretties do it too. Fuse and Machina sound like tech-head names.
“Real AI might still be illegal†So, Artificial Intelligence *might* be illegal. That means that the government is not as stable as it could be; yet they do have feeds. If AI isn’t allowed, then what those tech-heads are doing is illegal, yet there seem to be a whole clique of them… I need to think about this…
Either everyone has lesions of some sort since they are using pretty talk or paka-paka, which I totally hope is not happening. **It’s probably a fad of some sort.** Well, the cure is injectable, but what if there was a new thing? – The lesions could be injectable and target the certain place in your brain.
Operation – It doesn’t have any regulations, like The New Smoke
“…Just loads of face-missing extras grinding out merits from test scores and menial jobs.” So, the extras get the menial jobs, either from face rank, or maybe because that if they are not the first child, they don’t have as much rights. Maybe the normal (first born) uglies, or high ranked uglies don’t have to try as hard to fit in with society.
Ren Machino – his name sounds like ‘wren’, the bird, or ‘ran’, and the last name is pretty obvious, it sounds like ‘machine’.
“It was still a place where uglies couldn’t go. Not at night, when all the good stuff happened.” When it says ‘not at night’, does that mean it is semi-acceptable to go during the day? But if all the ‘good stuff’ happens during the night… Maybe that means the best feeds happen at night, where the Reputation Bombers record what happens because they are invisible, like Aya.
I really hope Moggle doesn’t die. I have already grown attached. Yeah, if Moggle starts killing people… But Moggle seems so affectionate, kind of like Tally’s hoverboard.
*~Kenina-chan~* The Obsessive Analyzer (Not too long, I hope?)
July 20th, 2007 04:44
HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS LONG! And the spaces between the paragraphs don’t seem to be working… Ah well.. sorry for longness and double posting.
~Kenina-chan
July 20th, 2007 04:46
I have given in to temptation, but someone had to say it…
Moggle is shmexy!
There. Fine. SOMEONE had to do it.
Ren Machino… Kenina says that sounds like maraschino. Don’t worry, insanity runs in the family. Oh, wait…
July 20th, 2007 04:48
Mmmmmm…….. Maraschino cherries….. Does that mean Ren is hot?
Yeah, Silviya is my sis.
July 20th, 2007 04:52
Identical sis. Not that it really makes a lot of a difference. But, he’s open, because Aya can’t date him because it’s forbidden to date your brother’s best friend. Or maybe that’s the whole point. Oooooo… I really hope there’s more action scenes in the book than mushy romantic stuff. Yuck.
July 20th, 2007 04:53
It’s really amazing so far!!! Eeeeeeeeeeep!!! *Runs around*
DIBS ON REN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take THAT Aya! HA!
July 20th, 2007 04:56
UM! you guys are sisters, but talking at the same time on a comment board? Why?
Obsessive Analyzer, where do you find the time for analyizing so thoroghly(SP!)?
July 20th, 2007 05:00
My other sister won’t let me through her room to talk with Silviya. Well, as my parents think I am doing something else than being on this computer, I can get some time. Oh, and I have a habit of overanalyzing things, so it’s quite normal for me to be this way.
July 20th, 2007 05:03
Yeah…I can never do that cuz then I ruin it for myself, I’d rather just enjoy it and be completely shocked once it happens.
July 20th, 2007 05:05
I could never write all my observations down, takes too long
July 20th, 2007 05:06
There’s an imprint of my dental floss in my chair.
July 20th, 2007 05:08
Ewwww. I just squished a bug with a book. Poor book…

EEEWWW(since we’re talking about bugs) there is a dead fly trapped in the spiderweb outside the window, oh wait, It’s a wasp
July 20th, 2007 05:15
poor book…
July 20th, 2007 05:16
There’s a wasp nest outside my window. I am so glad my window has a screen.
*Gasp* I just realized I’ll be going to camp with NO internet access.
July 20th, 2007 05:16
So does that make it better? I hate bookworms, the real bugs, not people like me, they always scare me when I’m reading old books.
July 20th, 2007 05:17
EWWWWWW! No internet access?! THE HORROR!
July 20th, 2007 05:19
*GASP*
no internet at our cottage either
July 20th, 2007 05:21
No internet at my abuelos! *NO SCOTT!*!
July 20th, 2007 05:21
*STOMPS AROUND IN ANGRY CIRCLE*
July 20th, 2007 05:22
It’s good to get me away from the computer, but I’ll miss Scott’s blog. I could call up me own crumblies and make them read aloud what Scott has posted. And last year, there was no time to read my book before lights out, so I didn’t read a book for SIX days. Yeah, I amused myself by reading signs and the stuff we were learning about. But that was the best week of my life… so it all evens out.
July 20th, 2007 05:24
how did you survive SIX days without a book?
July 20th, 2007 05:27
It was easier than I thought. Complete exhaustion right before bed, having an overdose of fun, meeting the perfect guy, and when your life turns cliché, you become your own book. Complete with tragic ending and irony.
July 20th, 2007 05:28
Man, I dont think I can go even a day without a book, even the bible is better than nothing.
July 20th, 2007 05:28
Note that I didn’t say I got to be *with* him… But after that I read a ton!
July 20th, 2007 05:29
hmmmm…sounds like a good story
July 20th, 2007 05:29
Even when I have a busy day like yours I always sneak away to read a bit. But the I always have a book with me…ALWAYS.
July 20th, 2007 05:30
Yeah, what happened?
July 20th, 2007 05:30
Yeah, but when there are no books to read… you can’t read. Sure, I read pamphlets and stuff, but at the end of each day I learned so much that my brain was buzzing. Kind of like when I overanalyze stuff.. *thinks* Scott! PLEASE Say something!
July 20th, 2007 05:30
ive only been to camp once. and there was no internet access. but that was last year, before i read any of scotts books
July 20th, 2007 05:32
so you didn’t have to go through withdrawal
July 20th, 2007 05:33
Well, we had to go our separate ways… Me: 20 miles back home… Him.. 1000: miles back home… I never even found out if he was a Westerfan! Well, probably not, I don’t think Scott’s books are where he lives.
July 20th, 2007 05:35
All this typing about books makes me want to read one… bye everyone.
July 20th, 2007 05:38
I’ve never been to camp…but I went to Mexico for 5 days and I brought 7 books. My dad said wee would bee really busy. I finished all but one. My dad now believes I have a problem.
Where the hell did he live?
Book withdrwal is horrible! all I do is sit there. Not even t.v. will rouse me.
July 20th, 2007 05:41
*we
**be
**withdrawl
What is wrong with me!?
July 20th, 2007 05:47
if i get a really good book (like peeps) i will read nonstop start to finish. i read peeps in one day!
July 20th, 2007 05:47
I read Midnighters in roughly one day.
July 20th, 2007 05:47
my mom thinks i have a problem because how fasti finish books. (it took me 5 days to finish the 5th harry potter book)
July 20th, 2007 05:48
I forgot to sleep and go to school. My mammi was not a happy person.
July 20th, 2007 05:48
i read the first midnighters in about 3, the second in about two. (i didnt want to finish it in one day)
July 20th, 2007 05:49
you forgot to go to school!?!?!? i never did that. i just read the book whenever i could durring the day (i finish school work early)
July 20th, 2007 05:50
That’s a really long time to read HP5. My mom was angry with me for having read it so quickly. How the hell was I supposed to know it would take me only a day!
July 20th, 2007 05:50
I finished Eragon in three days
I know how you feel but no one says I have a problem, just that I read really fast
July 20th, 2007 05:51
it took you a day!!!! omg! the first time i read it, it took me about a month but the second time took me 5 days
July 20th, 2007 05:52
i havent read eragon, is it good?
July 20th, 2007 05:53
I bought Twilight in AZ and the only thing I did there was read
I finished Touching Darkness and twilight and was halfway through Blue Noon
July 20th, 2007 05:53
Yeah, I rode the city bus all day (I don’t live in the school district). No, actually when I realized I had passed my stop like 15 minutes before I got off near my friends house and stayed there till my mammi picked me up.
July 20th, 2007 05:54
some parts are really slow and others are pretty good
overall I think it was pretty good
July 20th, 2007 05:55
wow. i cant wait for the 21st! the 7th harry potter is gonna be longer than the 6th, but shorter than the 5th
July 20th, 2007 05:56
i am like dieing because extras and hp7 arent out yet
July 20th, 2007 05:57
OH MY GOD!!!
my sister is singing Hannah Montana(she is so bad at singing)
July 20th, 2007 05:57
im gonna go now, and try not to be obssesed
July 20th, 2007 05:57
wow, that’s not natural hillary!
“NOBODY’S PERFECT” “HEY”
(she doesn’t know the words)
she’s a singer who THINKS she’s a TEEN pop star but no self respecting teenager would be caught deed with her songs(my sister is 10-see what I mean?)
July 20th, 2007 05:58
*you get the best of both worlds* (i cant sing either)
July 20th, 2007 05:58
I don’t think you understood me…I read all 3 in one day. I read Tillight in one night. It was sooo funny, then New Moon was sooo sad it hurt me inside. I’ve never felt like reading Eragon; but I finally got The Naming. It is so good so far.
July 20th, 2007 05:58
hillary!
go to post 366
July 20th, 2007 05:59
What’s Hannah Montana?
July 20th, 2007 06:00
See, that’s what everyone tells me, but my cousin is just like me, and my poppa and aunt cathryn, so I know I’m not the only one.
July 20th, 2007 06:00
why did your commentsend up up there?
July 20th, 2007 06:01
my computer time is all screwed up
July 20th, 2007 06:01
wow strange time differences. Am I faster or you slower?
July 20th, 2007 06:02
oh god i hate hannah montana–and she lip syncs for all of her supposedly “live” performances! my friend has a younger sister, (9 yrs old) who LOVES HER. she has like the dvds, cds, everything.
July 20th, 2007 06:02
Have you read The Naming, by Alison Croggon?
July 20th, 2007 06:02
oh, wait, It’s back to normall
It’s 3:02
July 20th, 2007 06:03
Creepy…how these girls get famous? do they sell there souls or sumfink?
July 20th, 2007 06:03
Mine says 12:05
July 20th, 2007 06:04
*how DO these girls…etc.
July 20th, 2007 06:07
I know, my sister’s 10 and she loves her
Hannah Montana and many adults think…
(oh, god, she’s still singing)
that teenagers listen to her songs but like I said before: no self respecting teenager would be caught dead with her songs
that’s right, how do they get famous?
July 20th, 2007 06:08
oh, they get famous making money for disney
July 20th, 2007 06:09
Maybe their father’s … you know what NO! I’m not even gonna finish that sentence! I just revolted myself!
July 20th, 2007 06:10
all those disney stars scare me. i can’t believe that they haven’t realized that you’ll never have a decent music career once you’ve starred on disney.
and yeah, mine was messed up awhile ago, the site was 6 minutes faster than normal, but now it’s suddenly the correct time difference…*twilight zone music plays*
July 20th, 2007 06:11
When they are adults though, disney just drops them like a sack of taters.
July 20th, 2007 06:12
hahaha! hillary!
July 20th, 2007 06:14
Taylor, I love your Tell No One Lolcat cover!
July 20th, 2007 06:15
I want cake! I’m gonna go see if they still have cake.
July 20th, 2007 06:15
haha you’re right…like now disney wouldn’t be caught dead with hilary duff on their station.
July 20th, 2007 06:16
oh thanks hillary! i made 4, but that one’s my favorite..hey is anyone else here gonna make one/two/a hundred?
July 20th, 2007 06:21
OMG I HATE HANNAH MONTANA TOO!!! And u know who else I hate??? Ashley Tisdale! Her voice is soooooooo annoying, and she’s one of those celebs who thinks she’s better than everybody else becuz she’s famous and she thinks she’s so cool…ugh. She walks around like “yeah, i’m the sh** and u know it!”. And Miley Cyrus (HM) hangs out w/ Ashley Tisdale so they are probably the same way about being famous. Like “Oh I’m so cool and famous and I love my fans and I’m so amazing!”. UGH!!!!
Haha yeah U R RIGHT! She ALWAYS lip-syncs and it’s totally annoying…and yeah no self-respecting teenager would be caught dead listening to HM. I hate her.
And YEAH HAHAHAHA ur right Hillary Duff would NEVER appear on DC anymore…lmao!
July 20th, 2007 06:22
I’m sooooooo bored right now….but I’m excited becuz I’m going to go to Hairspray first thing tomorrow!!! *EEEEEEK* girly squeal for Zac Efron!
July 20th, 2007 06:23
No cake, but plenty of coffe and pastries. HOT COFFEE!
July 20th, 2007 06:27
I’d make one but I din’t know how to that type of stuff. I just sit bach and enjoy other peeps efforts.
I don’t know who AT is, I haven’t watched disney since LizzM. I thank the stars my lil bro is 14, and never liked disney.
July 20th, 2007 06:29
Morgan are you still in love with OB?
July 20th, 2007 06:38
where was the coffee and pastries? i want some! and yeah ashley tisdale is another one of those people…ugh i doubt she’ll get a record deal outside of disney. i’m repulsed just thinking about HM!
July 20th, 2007 06:40
Can you get to San Bernadino Cali, cuz if you can, I can give coffee and pastries.
July 20th, 2007 06:40
ashley tisdale is on DC, she was in High School Musical (you MUST have heard of that!) and is in another DC show, but nothing outside of the channel.
July 20th, 2007 06:41
sorry, that’s just across the country, but i don’t think i can fit it into my schedule today lol jk.
July 20th, 2007 06:43
Yes, I have heard of High School Musical. It sounded lame to me. I am not into musicals, and disney musicals are even worse.
July 20th, 2007 06:44
Aww, what a shame, at least you tried=)
July 20th, 2007 06:49
Extras comes out on a Tuesday. Which means I’ll be at school. Darn. I’ll have to guilt trip someone into getting it for me and I’ll pay them back.
Scott is going to have such fun reading about Hannah Montana and what not. I know I’m hyper just thinking about Extras, so I’ll be bouncing out soon for good food and some nice music. OMG! It’s the perfect weather for a rainbow! I’ll go rainbow hunting. Weeeeee! Buh-bye!
July 20th, 2007 06:50
hmmm, I just had a though, do you think Miley would have Hannah Montana on her playlist? Or that Ashley Tisdale listens to her own songs?
July 20th, 2007 06:53
Our chorus teacher made us watch High School Musical. She is… not a good teacher, they haven’t made up a word to describe how awful she is. It was so cliché and we had to sing ‘Breaking Free’ in a concert, that was SO embarassing. Which is why I quit, I’m not that good of a singer anyway. I’m really going now…
July 20th, 2007 06:55
Prolly, if they’re as full of themselves as you say. Maybe I’ll just not go to school the day it comes out, just keep riding the bus to B&N.
July 20th, 2007 07:05
i dont like hannah montanas voice. it is so weird. ashley tidale looks a little weird (on suite life of zack and cody her skin is to dark for a blonde) and high school musical wasnt that good. my schools mascot is the widlcat, and our chorus had to sing high school musical songs. (glad im not in it) i dont want to see high school musical 2. it looks stupid
July 20th, 2007 07:18
So…anyone read The Naming?
July 20th, 2007 07:26
sorry, is it good?
July 20th, 2007 07:41
so far, it’s kinda funny too.
July 20th, 2007 07:46
I signed up to read the Naming for a book report last year. I never finished it, or the book report. Oops. It was pretty good, though. I got about a third of the way through.
July 20th, 2007 07:48
Yeah I’m totally diggin it. i like sum of ur locat covers.
July 20th, 2007 08:08
Ok, bye, I see no one likes me.
July 20th, 2007 09:32
loved the chapter
July 20th, 2007 09:35
i feel so…. UNspecial
July 20th, 2007 09:36
being 413,414, and 415 is so….. not bubbly
July 20th, 2007 09:37
What are u talking about?
July 20th, 2007 10:43
hillary! we like you, I was just reading
July 20th, 2007 11:51
That was great!! I’m now even more excited about the new book.
July 20th, 2007 13:04
tomarrow is the 20th. my mom still doesnt know if we r going to the midnight party for hp7. she better make up her mind soon.
July 20th, 2007 13:05
wanted to be 420
July 20th, 2007 14:42
omg. i so0o0o0o0o0o cant wait for extras!
July 20th, 2007 14:56
can’t wait for Eclipse! 18 days… just 18 days…
July 20th, 2007 16:00
Stephenie Meyer likes your books did ya know that scott? You should read it!! AND I CAN”T WAIT FOR ECLIPSE TOO AND EXTRAS!! Wow i’m such a book nerd.
July 20th, 2007 16:49
You guys must be really bored to stray onto Hannah and Ashley topics… 24 hours from now though a majority of th epopulation will turn off all technology to read HP… I still love scotts books and i am dying to figure out what the heck is going on in Extras and what happens to everyone from specials… well night pplz!
July 20th, 2007 17:55
hi im bak from school- yes the winter hols r finished ofr me. Its the 20th today for me- does that mean that well get the hp book befor u guys?
July 20th, 2007 17:56
lydia is the name of a girl in my class.. hehe look what school has done to me lol
July 20th, 2007 19:25
haha. yes i think australia gets it before..
although. i guess the northern hemisphere would just get it the day before? to make times match?
hm.
July 20th, 2007 19:31
What is a surge-monkey?!
Oh wait. I just had a logical though. Rather than it being an actual monkey (i was thinking that for a while haha) maybe it is somebody who gets SO much surge that they just end up looking ridiculous and kind of scary?
Maybe?
And! Is Aya a reporter or something? Just something she said about people not watching her feeds and how she was going to get a good story that night or something.. That would be pretty cool if she was some sort of journalist. Or freelance writer! Haha
Yep, so thanks so much Scott!! Tis awesome!
Cannot wait!
July 21st, 2007 02:20
Thanx allichie, I was just being wierd though I wanted to read The Naming.
July 21st, 2007 02:46
just 12.5 hours till harry potter. cant wait
July 21st, 2007 03:23
Hmmm…mine says 14.5…
July 21st, 2007 05:44
about 10.5 hours
July 21st, 2007 05:46
i cant wait!!!! my mom still hasnt said if we are going to the midnight party. she has to make up her mind soon!!!
July 21st, 2007 05:48
after today, you wont here from me for a couple of days, or maybe a month if i read it slow. if you dont know what im talking about, midnight is when hp7 comes out. if you didnt know that, you are an idiot.
July 21st, 2007 05:49
(needed to post 4 times in a row)
July 21st, 2007 06:17
I think that when I finish reading the book I am gonna be seriously depressed funk, so I won’t be coming to work, so I won’t be for a while either,
July 21st, 2007 06:19
My friend’s birthday is tomorrow, so it’ll be coming out on her birthday. I made her into a Westerfan. : ) It was funny talking in pretty-speak, while no one else could figure out why we were talking oddly. I’m going to see The Cat Empire, apparently some popular Australian band.
July 21st, 2007 06:29
My mammi won’t let me go to the party. I am sooo not bubbly about this.
July 21st, 2007 06:36
if i go to the party, it will be so happy-making!
July 21st, 2007 07:14
woot for you, I am hating anyone who gets to go right now.
July 21st, 2007 07:18
now this is sexy!
July 21st, 2007 08:53
I got pop-tart on my hearphones.
July 21st, 2007 09:19
grrrr!!! finished all my books!
can anyone suggest a good book? (please include author)
July 21st, 2007 09:34
I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak is really funny and sad. Here is the first sentence:
“The gunman is useless.”
Pretty intriguing….
July 21st, 2007 09:53
Ooh! that sounded cool! Try The Naming by Alison Croggon. She’s Australian.
July 21st, 2007 09:54
I’m gonna go now…today was slow, what have you people been up to?
July 21st, 2007 10:53
I just thought of something horrible what if scott finishes work and posts while we are all recovering from JK (we all know we will be depressed, time to admit it) and to make ppl feel better im just going to walmart no party (if scott could get some extras parties going though i would go to that, major fun…) we could so have idk crash braclets and hoverboard with animated tatoos on our faces and other ppl would be like omg what is wrong with those kids… just a thought
July 21st, 2007 11:11
i can go to the hp party!
July 21st, 2007 11:16
yeah i’m not going to any parties either…i wish i could go to an hp7 release party (there’s like 10 going on near me) but there’s no way that my mom/dad would agree to go, or even just pick me up! i sooo want to read the last book, but i’ll probably have to wait till i can get it from the library.
July 21st, 2007 11:17
lucky amy-la!
July 21st, 2007 13:01
I’m gonna go, I just came back from The Cats Empire concert. It was wicked. The only reason I’m allowed to go is that my mom is a HP fan too. And an Uglies and Pretties fan too. (She hasn’t read Specials yet.) I’m really mad because ContentBarrier keeps marking this as porn, even though it isn’t. (duh) I kept on refreshing and I eventually got through to this page. Good night!
July 21st, 2007 13:08
hey! now i know why that band name (the cats empire) has been sounding so familiar to me–it’s a chapter title for the last days! lol yeah now i remember all the titles were band names…haha that’s awesome that you got to go to one one their concerts! adios y buenas noches! haha
July 21st, 2007 15:41
Tight.
Can’t wait for the book.
July 22nd, 2007 01:08
Did anyone go get the Harry Potter book at midnight? I went to Barnes and Noble, and there were people like camping out waiting in a line! They had been there since 12 that afternoon!
July 22nd, 2007 08:38
Yeah, I went and there were 250 people (approx.) in front of me in line, so I was, like, “No way!” I went over to the grocery store and I got one there at 12:02. They made us wait an extra 2 minutes! There were no visible clocks, so everyone was looking at their cell phones. I set mine ahead by one minute so I could yell before anyone else. Also, I finished the book in 5 hours, I tried to read it slower, but it didn’t work that well. I won’t tell anyone what happened. Except for that it didn’t make my cry.
July 22nd, 2007 09:25
i’m definitely gonna read hp7, but it probably won’t be anytime soon. i’m too much of a library girl to spend the money on it (i’ll spend it on extras, though!), but i saw some copies at the price chopper near me and checked to see how many pages there were (759–i have a thing about knowing how many pages there are in a book, call me crazy). i’m psyched to read it…and thanks for not giving anything away, kenina-chan!
oh yeah, i finally linked a website–click my name if you wanna see it! haha best band EVER (whose concert i’m seeing on tuesday–YAY)!!!
July 22nd, 2007 14:14
i finished hp7. it took me a day. (it is still the 21st and the book came out as soon as it was the 21st)
July 22nd, 2007 14:16
i was #293. but the line moved fast
July 22nd, 2007 14:17
it was sad, but the ending is happy
July 22nd, 2007 14:17
and thats all im gonna say about harry potter and the deathly hallows
July 22nd, 2007 16:18
yep just finidhed it too!
July 22nd, 2007 22:55
haha goo goo dolls!
i only know iris
but i know hellogoodbye’s concert was awesome.
July 22nd, 2007 23:29
yeah i love them, but hellogoodbye and nelly furtado are other shows i wish i could’ve seen. i was so excited that they were on tour, but there where no hgb shows going on within an hour of me, and the only nelly furtado one in NY was in the city (4 hours from me)!
i have odd taste–goo goo dolls, hellogoodbye, and nelly furtado–how mismatched can it get?
July 23rd, 2007 08:25
I Love the Chapter!! It defiently left me asking questions. I’m ready for the whole book!!
July 23rd, 2007 08:36
Who do you like better– Zane and Tally or David and Tally?
July 23rd, 2007 09:51
I don’t know who I like better, thats not something I could decide, I like them both!!
July 23rd, 2007 13:56
i liked the fact that david and tally were going out in uglies, but i also like the fact that zane and tally were going out in pretties. but in the end, i was sort of glad zane died. that makes more room for david, tallys first love.
P.S. i loved the 7th harry potter book. in the end, you could really tell the weasley twins apart. (and not because of the ear thing in chapter 4. [if you read the book, youll know what im talking about])
July 23rd, 2007 14:26
scott, glad to know i wasnt the only one here at a harry potter party. are finnished with the book, or still reading it, or havent started, or not reading it at all? if you are reading it, and not done with it, what page are you on?
July 23rd, 2007 15:11
hmmmmmmmm i havnt read any harry potter. i guess im the odd one lol
i read peeps the other day on vacation. it was awesome as usual. there were no tvs where i stayed. i about died but im glad i got some books b4 i went
July 23rd, 2007 17:05
i never watch tv! Actually, i do watch The Chasers War On Everything, but thats it. I think it only shows in Aust(and not even all of it) for those of u who have no idea what im talking about. (Andrew is my favorite)
July 24th, 2007 00:39
OO…. no tv would be kinda bad. I dont watch a whole lot of tv, but I keep the one in my room turned on, its just like background noise most of the time. I can barely stand to have it off anymore!! lol
July 24th, 2007 02:29
I’m almost done with HP7 , and I’m sad to say that i have cried, becuz I’m weird like that.
July 24th, 2007 06:20
i cried when i read hp7, hillary! your not the only one.
July 25th, 2007 02:52
Yeah, near the end i couldnt stop.
July 25th, 2007 03:37
AARRGH! my friend (who read hp7 in less than 8 hours) just spoiled the ending for me! i haven’t even read any of it yet! he told me after i repeatedly told him not to and now i’m mad…but i won’t spoil it for anyone else so don’t worry (i promise!)
July 25th, 2007 05:26
YAY! lol… i no what surge-monkeys are. and what the rank thing is.. hmmm should i tell yall? okay i will lol or ill just post the thing from amazon.. sorry scott if we wernt soposed to see this for some reason:
Fame
It’s a few years after rebel Tally Youngblood took down the
uglies/pretties/specials regime. Without those strict roles and rules,
the world is in a complete cultural renaissance. “Tech-heads” flaunt
their latest gadgets, “kickers” spread gossip and trends, and “surge
monkeys” are hooked on extreme plastic surgery. And it’s all monitored
on a bazillion different cameras. The world is like a gigantic game of
American Idol. Whoever is getting the most buzz gets the most
votes. Popularity rules.
As if being fifteen doesn’t suck enough, Aya Fuse’s rank of 451,369 is
so low, she’s a total nobody. An extra. But Aya doesn’t care; she just
wants to lie low with her drone, Moggle. And maybe kick a good story for
herself.
Then Aya meets a clique of girls who pull crazy tricks, yet are deeply
secretive of it. Aya wants desperately to kick their story, to show
everyone how intensely cool the Sly Girls are. But doing so would propel
her out of extra-land and into the world of fame, celebrity…and extreme
danger. A world she’s not prepared for.
July 25th, 2007 05:44
i read everything except the last paragraph (i want to leave SOME surprise!), and that’s cool to know what the whole “face-rank” thingie means!
well now i have to give my mom her b-day present (she’s turning 38–again. lol)
July 25th, 2007 07:03
Agai? what do you mean again?
July 25th, 2007 07:03
*again
July 25th, 2007 09:52
I don’t think that I will actually get an answer, but it’s worth asking questions.
In the new book Extras are any of the previous characters intoduced at all?
July 25th, 2007 11:45
i cant wait for extras to come out!!!!
July 25th, 2007 13:00
Ok i was reading specials again and you know how someone was saying something about zane lives, and i started to think it’s possible b/c
in the chapter titled patient when the doctor is telling tally about zane he says “he can’t even breath on his own. we don’t think he’ll regain consciousness. not ever.”….”and the thing is we need the bed.”…”he’ll stop breathing once we take him off. normally we wouldn’t move this quickly, but tonight…”
” is a special circumstance” says tally
what i’m trying to say is tally leaves before they pull the plug so we don’t officially know if zane died and notice how they said we don’t think he’ll regain consciousness. maybe zane lives after all
July 25th, 2007 14:19
but the problem with zane living is that showed his pic with the 17 who died so its kinda confirmed that he died… sry to burst hopeful thoughts
July 25th, 2007 14:56
what pics
July 26th, 2007 01:56
oh and hillary! she’d rather not think obout her actual age (it’s not that bad tho) so i write happy 38th b-day in her cards every year…yeah it’s dumb but w/e.
July 26th, 2007 04:24
never mind i know what your talking about now, the pics on the news. oops guess your right, poor zane
July 26th, 2007 14:24
yeah the obituaries
July 26th, 2007 14:26
hmmm he should really post again.. like now.. even if he is writing a story
July 26th, 2007 23:01
hey do you think that scott’s buying us off (without any actual money) just a little bit? like he wasn’t going to be able to post for over a week, so he gave us the first chapter of extras! i mean, if he didn’t, we’d probably organize a revolt and burn down his NYC place since he didn’t let anyone win samplers.
lol jk. but i do think that he was trying to get us off his back since he couldn’t post when he put up the first chapter. seriously imagine how many people would have commented something like “SCOTT!!! you NEED to post again NOW!!!” if he hadn’t. but because he did, all the comments said something more like “SCOTT!!! the first chapter was AWESOME!!! thanks so much!!!” and we all discussed the meanings of terms used in it–”surge money,” “tech head,” what the heck “moggle” is, etc.
and i wrote all of that and then my power went off for 10 seconds (literally) just when i was about it hit the submit button so i lost it all.
July 27th, 2007 01:13
Didn’t he say something about not posting for more than a week??
July 27th, 2007 01:36
yes he did
July 27th, 2007 02:42
Yes, he said for the rest of the month.
July 27th, 2007 05:31
scott needs to post again.
July 27th, 2007 07:09
guys theres another insideadog posty thing..
if anybody hasnt listined to Hank Greens song about harry potter u should go to brotherhood 2.0 and watch it! its hilarious.. (no spoilers)
July 27th, 2007 08:27
What is Brotherhood 2.0? MJ is constantly waxing lyrical about it.
July 27th, 2007 11:23
Q. Who are you?
A. Hank and John Green have been brothers for more than twenty-six years. Hank is an ecogeek, writer, and web designer who lives in Montana. John is a writer (he wrote the novels Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines) who lives in New York City.
Q. What is Brotherhood 2.0?
A. After noticing that their relationship had for years consisted primarily of emails and instant messages, John and Hank swore off all textual communication with each other for 2007. Instead, we are making public video blogs back and forth every weekday for the entire year. (We get holidays off.)
there you go hillary. i got that from the FAQ of their site
July 27th, 2007 11:25
oh they havnt updated that but John used to live in NYC with scott, justine, and mj and they were all friends. but now john lives in Indianapolis
July 28th, 2007 03:50
Q. are you going to make the uglies series into a movie?
July 28th, 2007 03:51
also will there be another book after the extras?
July 28th, 2007 16:27
haha. those brothers are hilariously funny.
and thanks for that summary, ally! haha we could all have lookd it up ourselves.. but no one was bothered. i kind of thought that was what a surge monkey was, but the “extra” meaning was cool. i wasn’t thinking the whole ‘extra child’ theory.. but sort of thought it was like, an ugly.
August 1st, 2007 04:13

a bit behind, guys..
August 5th, 2007 16:08
very behind…
August 6th, 2007 10:00
i dont care what anybody says about Tally and David being a better couple than Tally and Zane. Tally and Zane are a much better couple. First they are probably a cuter couple that
T & D and David is Ugly! Zane also seemed to get Tally more than david. david seemed very selfish to me. zane wasnt selfish, he actually cared more about tally and tally cared about him. sure tally and david cared about each other, but not as much as Zane and Tally. also we didn;t get to see much about the T&D relationship as we did T&Z relationship. it made me like zane much more than david. TALLY & ZANE FOREVER!!!!
August 6th, 2007 20:26
kathy: i agree. but what tally and david shared was nice. he saw her for who she truly was. he didnt care if she was an ugly he saw the good in her. but you are right we didnt see much of what happened between tally and david after zane-la died..
August 6th, 2007 21:47
Finally, a website that does time stamping in my time lol I’m an Aussie from Sydney, and i just wanted to do a quick post saying that Scott, you are soooooo the coolest for posting the first chapter of Extras
Hopefully it’ll either come out in Aus. the same time as the USA, or i’ll just have to order it of Amazon 
keep up the excellent stories
– Ash
August 6th, 2007 21:51
P.S. The page is still stamping in AEDST (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) so it’l an hour ahead lol
August 7th, 2007 02:23
Scott, you are an amazing anuthor, I love your books. I just finished Specials, and it made me sad, but now I can’t wait for Extras!
Thanks for the chapter, Scott!
August 8th, 2007 12:19
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!
August 8th, 2007 12:20
Now I just need the rest of the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 8th, 2007 13:06
It mite be late!
But i have a T-shirt Idea!
Flasks.
Pour.
Breakthrough.
& on the back:
My mind is very ugly.
Wat do u think?
August 8th, 2007 16:48
I think I would have stayed w/ David in Pretties! I mean, she ended up killing Zane anyway!!! Poor Zane!
August 9th, 2007 08:36
Lizzy-wa: lovee the shirt idea. && yea it does seem like she was gonna end up with david in the end..(even if we dont know that for sure) but i still like zane..i was almost crying when he died…of course i was on a plane and the attendant thought i had some serious issues..=/
August 9th, 2007 10:32
Nanner-wa: thanks! yeah i cried when Zane died too. i’m just really surprised Tally was so calm about it! Ha-ha to the last sentence.
August 9th, 2007 21:49
Lizzy-wa:i know Zane’s death was very sad-making Dx
haha yea im serious. they thought i was crazy…=/
August 10th, 2007 07:43
Nanner-wa: been there, done that. i’ve had a total of 27 people call me freak! i don’t know why? i could have said the same to 26 of them! i couldn’t to the last one because she was my teacher.
August 10th, 2007 08:14
August 10th, 2007 09:50
U R All Crazy.
although, seeing as I am just as crazy, its ok!
Zane dying made me cry
(no kidding, that’s literal)
August 10th, 2007 09:56

Nanner-wa: i no! i keep thinking hes still alive though. fingers crossed! If anyla’s care, i’m going to leadership camp now. All my friends wimped out so I wont no anybody. It’s all so nervous-making. Not to mention really unhappy-making. I’ll try to be bubbly though. Be back on Thursday!
August 11th, 2007 14:39
Wow! I love all of this trilogy. I’m obsessed! When I found out that there was a fourth one, I freaked. I am 13 and me and my friend love these books, and I can hardly breathe until October 2! thank u scott westerfeld!
August 11th, 2007 18:10
Lizzy-wa: i know i keep wishing he were still alive too. well hope you have fun. dont worry about anything. time to start/find new friendships. (i dont mean ditch your other friends but i mean make new ones) and besides you can be anyone you want to be. =D Stay bubbly. xD
Jade: so are we. xD im 14. thts great you and you’re friends like it too. same here. but then again my friend moves in oct. its very sad-making.

August 12th, 2007 11:52

August 12th, 2007 15:38
i cant believe u deleted tallly from extras!how can this somehow connect to Uglies?!?!?!
August 12th, 2007 18:13
wait…did u really not include tally in EXTRAS? If u did are you bringing anyone back? For example david or shay?
August 13th, 2007 14:11
Back early! gotta leave tommoro to come back thurs. tho! sad-making. Person & V: i think Scott-la mite bring Tally-wa and the gang back, just not in the 1st chapter. calm down. Scott-la’s perfessional. he knows what hes doin. (i hope) *gulp*
August 13th, 2007 15:54
lol i hope so..i got a lil parnoid there.
August 17th, 2007 04:30
do any of u people think Scott will make a movie out of any of his books?
August 17th, 2007 11:40
hey dude i just finished the last chapter of specials like 5 minutes ago for like the 3rd time and then i heard that there was a 4th book. so i check out the first chapter on here and it talks about this aya girl… where is tally? she was like the focus of all 3 books and then u wanna go and bring some1 new in? where in the world is tally? thats the only reason why i wanted to buy the 4th book when it came out. dude i want to keep reading about tally and david… i love those books because of her and now shes like disappeared. dude wat happened? do tell all cause im mad now man.
August 17th, 2007 14:50
back from leadership camp! it was kinda weird. i had to hold a whole bunch of guys’ hands, do the hussel and the electric slide, and listen to all of the guys at camp sing… build me up buttercup, you know that i love you… really really off key. but i learned a lot! (ish)
luna-wa:an uglies movie is coming out next year! i just dont think it will come close to the books! just like Eragon.
Amber:he’ll bring them back somehow. not as like the focus, but im sure Aya will like help them or meet them or somthin!
August 20th, 2007 04:55
Wow. that was great. I can’t wait to read it! It sounds just as good as the first three!
August 20th, 2007 13:41
Um, why is it a diffent character than the first three? Why did u change the character???????????????????? WHY? It makes it soooooooo confusing!
August 21st, 2007 06:00
taylor…this is like three years later or something…
August 21st, 2007 14:03
so if its 3 years later…then tally and david and the whole crew aren’t really going to be in it…thats BS!
August 22nd, 2007 16:08
maybe they will be! they’ll just be really really old!
August 22nd, 2007 18:51
omg! this is majorly nerve-making.
i cried when i read the review only cause you have no idea HOW exited i am!
im always re-reading the uglies trilogy cause i love it so much.
and omg im hoping more than life that tally comes up in these books.
thank you so much for posting this. i LOVE you.
August 23rd, 2007 04:12
lol great book ^^ i cant stop reading it cant wait until i get extras
August 24th, 2007 11:55

August 28th, 2007 23:40
I am a little sad about Tally not being there because she shares my name! Well i spell it differently but still! I also thinks it soundsvery interesting and the book comes out one day before my birthday weird isn’t it?
August 30th, 2007 08:41
spooky-making.
September 4th, 2007 04:10
ok firsts of all kathy
if you thinik tally and Zane are a better couple just because he is hotter and the make a bettter couple then you must not get the hole point of this serious i mean come on the piont of the serios is to that not everyones the same and that fine and the being pretty IS NOT better than being ugly
I MEAN HAVE YOU READ THE BOOKS !
September 6th, 2007 14:14
VERY MUCH AGREED!
AND BESIDES…TALLY AND DAVID ARE A BETTER COUPLE ANYWHO.
September 12th, 2007 09:05
i dunno who asked the question bout twilight but but that seires is AWSOME!!!! u should totally read it right now!!!! the other two books are new moon and eclipse! I really recomend this series! and thanks 4 the first chapter scott!!!!
September 12th, 2007 09:56
is anyone out there…??? neways, tally and david are 4 real the best couple!!!! who cares if david is ugly, u no he probably isnt really ugly. to us he would probably look normal. we are not ugly *(so dont be offended) but the pretties are surgically made pretty, its not natural! lol neways zane was sweet but david was her first love and she didnt mean to but she broke his heart!!!! They should get back together, to me it was like she was cheating on david with zane. david probably felt like that to. sad, ha , i guess i just fell in love with david like tally did!!!
September 12th, 2007 10:04
ha. omg. twilight series && uglies is the best no competition!!
September 12th, 2007 10:06

-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 14th, 2007 12:04
Wow. That book is going to be good. I just hope i get hooked on the main character like i did with Tally. But, Scott Westerfields amazing and i totally trust him. It’s gonna be a hit. All my friends are jealous because im the only one that’s finished the series. So i get to start this one as soon as it comes out.
as london on the suite life of zach and cody would say
YAY MEE!
Susan-la
September 14th, 2007 12:39
TALLY AND DAVID 4 EVER!!!! lol.
September 14th, 2007 14:01
okay so i think tally and zane are so much better. i love zane and i cant believe he died. he died so she could actually look at him. ahhhhhhhh i hate it. hes like one of my favorite leading guy roles hes up there with EDWARD CULLEN!!!!!! sorry but the twighlight series is my favorite series ever. its like my life. then uglies series then blue is for nightmares series
September 15th, 2007 07:04
omg. uglies/twilight whoever u r. i totally agree with almost everything!!!!!!!! i still think tally && david r way better than tally && zane… but twilight is my favorite series too. so is uglies && blue is for nightmars. u should sooo read a series called The Unseen. its awsomee.
September 15th, 2007 08:02
kool ill look for it, thanks
why cant real men be like edward cullen? they should read the books and take a hint. lol
September 15th, 2007 12:43
hey Susan-la…its Westerfeld. not Westerfield.
and u/t person-la…David is SO MUCH COOLER than Zane. yepyepyep.
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 15th, 2007 13:31
i think they skipped a whole generation of tally’s life. i just hope she’s still in story.
September 16th, 2007 12:32
OMG OMG OMG OMG i feel like a loser cuz i just found out about Extras like 2 days ago and spread the word all of my friends jumped like freaks and screamed!! well not to different form the others but i still loveeee these books gosh!!! is this the first chapter?? i think its the second cuz i was really confused
September 16th, 2007 20:39
I can’t believe there is another book!
The names are a bit thumbs down.
I cant wait to read it!
Oh yeah, thanks for the chapter!
Still loving Zane
September 17th, 2007 11:29
I loved the entire series and have read it like a million time. I just really hope that Tally and David and Shay and everyone else are still in this book.
I feel really stupid though. I like just figured out that Extras was coming out and that it was a continuation of the Uglies Trilogy. When I found out, I was soooo excited and was jumping up and down!!!
Thank You soooooo much for the chapter!!!!
September 17th, 2007 19:38
ha. no kidding uglies/twilight. the guys definetly need a little help.
September 19th, 2007 23:57
I love ur work Scott. You got me super hyper to continue reading ur series. I litterally screamed when I saw that there was another book coming out along the format of the Uglies trilogy. And to the people who like wanted a comment contest, I don’t really have a contest but I just thought thta it would be fun.
TO THE FANS: I will put a question about the Uglies trilogy and the next person will have to answer it and put up a question and so on. SO here is the question.
In the book Specials, how did Zane die?
September 20th, 2007 06:41
YOU DON’T LIKE HANNAH MONTANA?!?!?!? ARE YOU FROM MARS OR SOMETHING…IT SHOULD BE A SIN NOT TO LIKE HER..ASSHOLE
September 21st, 2007 10:31
Love.These.Books.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my friend are so into them that we actually give everyone weird nicknames.Like im Tally,or tally-wa,my friend is Shay,or Shay-la,My best guy-friend’s name is Tachs(one of the cutters…),My other guyfriend is Fuasto,and we call our mean teacher Doctor Cable!!! lol,and only me and shay-la get the reference.All my other friends are totally missing!Anyway,I know,im totally nerd-making,but these books are just so Bubbly-making!
September 21st, 2007 13:12
Luv that there’s a new book. why isn’t tally in it? she needs 2 b!!!
September 21st, 2007 13:13
Tally-wa , Sally-wa, cool!
September 21st, 2007 14:57
interesting. he died from the lesions eating his brains, then the operation going wrong when trying to fix it.
Qwestion:who is better. Zane or David?
-Lizzy-wa OUT!
September 22nd, 2007 10:48
david. no copitition. i mean zane is cool && all butt……. still david. all the way.
September 24th, 2007 11:24
OMG his is so damn comfusing!!!!!
What the hell is MOOGLE!!!
ZANE is way better thats just my oppinon but
Tally seemed to like David better before Zane
died.
September 29th, 2007 02:53
so i have a question. is david and tally-wa even in the fourth book?the first chapter is new characters. scott,this isn’t very bubbly-making of you to do that.
October 1st, 2007 05:38
ive been wanting to email u 4 like ever. youre books r extremely addictive but i must admit, after reading that zane died in specials i called u a few bad names. i kept thinking hed wake up long enough 4 tally to say like goodbye. when he didnt i kinda called u a deranged psychopathic man with a dark, twisted mind. then i sorta threw the book in the gravel. oops.but 4 some odd reason i decided 2 read all your books (twice so far) and cant wait to read extras. even though all i could think about 4 a week was a different ending to specials. that made me sooooooo MAD! sorry, im done ranting now. bye!
PS when my friend read that zane died she almost broke her toe kicking a wall and chewed up a pen cap then smashed a buch of holes into it. i was ROFLMHO (rolling on floor laughing my head off) while she vented her anger publicly. well thats all. bye!:-D
October 1st, 2007 05:39
also is 20th century Fox gonna make Uglies a movie???
October 2nd, 2007 09:27
ya their making a movie
October 2nd, 2007 10:01
omg i soooooooooooooooooooooooo want to read Extras yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 6th, 2007 00:59
Apparently Face Rank is like a meter that measures a person’s popularity. Therefore, if your Face Rank is too low, you’re considered unpopular; an outcast…an Extra.
I wonder what the non-Extras are called? I guess that’ll be the title of the next book!
In a way, this is like the opposite of what the world was like in the first books. In that era, everyone was trying to look more or less the same, but now people are trying to look as different from each other as possible. Interesting!

Uglies…exilerating…Pretties…wow…..Specials….(sobbing)…..
Scott is obviously a genius, and it really shines with the Ugllies trilogy. Gah… I wish I was a special. Shayshal. Wow. Could it get any better?
Zane. Sad. David. Mad. Sad. Happy. Sick. Tally. Me. In all forms and natures. Aya. Interesting. Wow it will take a long time to get used to her, being with Tally for so long….
(can’t wait to get my publisher all jelous with Extras in my hands…)

Here again…Not enough words to even put into retrospective what Uglies did for me.
That’s how I wrote the first half of my story, met my best friend, publisher, and boss, E.M.O. (and no she’s not a cutter!)
Figured I would try and find something new, and hey I’m only 12, reading about places called Crumblyville, and rollercoasters,hoverboards,bionic women, blah , blah, blah, and instantly I was hooked. I cried my eyes out when Specials was over and now I scream with delight over Extras!

It just made me cry. I threw my mouse at the wall when I found out that Extras were here, and now I have to pay $58 for wall putty and a new mouse. Not including the paint, mind you Eva.
(she likes to make fun of me when i do that)
Bye Bye, Dad calling me!

Hey, I love the chapter.
I can’t wait to read it all. I am on top of it!
The Uglies series is my favorite thing to read, ever. I couldn’t put any of the books down. I bawled my eyes out when, Zane, died. I wanted to hurt you, Scott. Like how could you make him die?
Haha.
You’re making movies, right? I can’t wait to see them!!!
I love this, so much!

Tally & David Big Time they had so much more together in the smoke ya know

Wow. I can not wait to get this book! You are a really good writer Scott Westerfeld. I hope to become a sci-fi writer someday too. ^_^
Tally and David are definately my favorite couple. My main character in a book I’m writing now is David, and even though he’s got a total different personality and everything in your books, I freaked when I saw the name in Uglies. I was crying and screaming and running around my house. My parents thought I was dying haha.
Yeah, I can’t wait for this book! I need to get to a book store before the week is over.
