Before I FAF you, let me mention two cool things.
1) There’s a podcast reading of my short story “Ass-Hat Magic Spider” up at the Dunesteef Audio Fiction magazine. You should go check it out. The story starts about 4:30 in, after some yucks between the hosts.
2) Next week I’m going to be live-tweeting an old movie with various friends around the world (namely, @justinelavaworm, @readingincolor, and @gwenda). In other words, we’ll all be putting the DVD in at the same time, watching it in sync, and tweeting VERY witty things. Or just crapping on about Cary Grant’s amazing car, ore likely. Why are we doing this? Because it seemed like fun, and @readingincolor hadn’t seen it yet.
The movie is called Topper, and is a screwball comedy about dying in a car accident and then messing with your banker as a ghost. (Seriously. People laughed at some weird stuff back then.)
If you’re on the twitter machine, please feel free to join in.
Time: 8:30PM US EST
Date: Tuesday Dec 27
(Sydney Time: 12:30PM Wed Dec 28)
Hashtag: #Topper
And now for some FAF! Today’s FAF will have unusually low editorial content, because I have a seven-course meal to cook the day after tomorrow. All my spreadsheets are full of recipes! Also, the fan art has been building up over the last few weeks, and I haven’t always kept records of who sent what. If I haven’t attributed the art, please identify yourself in the comments.
We should start with this seasonal confection from the excellent @NovelNovice’s mom:
Snow airmen! Snairmen!
This is cool. I saw it on Twitter, but I can’t remember who did it.
Abigail sent me this one of Deryn.
I like her smile. Deryn is more of a smiler than Alek.
This one is by AdventureIsOutThere. I think the expressions tell an interesting story. What dialog would you caption it with?
Here’s some Dr. Barlow cosplay. Again I can’t remember whom.
That’s a great Barlow expression.
I LOVE this shot of Deryn hanging out on the ratlines. It’s by Helen Yoon, and should totally be the poster for the Leviathan musical. Feel free to photoshop it into exactly that!
This next one is by Melissa, and shows Alek walking in on Deryn in a dress. (It predates the Bonus Chapter, obviously.)
Love the look of this next piece by Jesidres. Apparently Alek has held onto Tesla’s walking stick. (I never exactly say what happened to it, after all.)
This next one is by Maile. Just Dalek, hanging out in Istanbul after the war. You know. No big thing.
It’s nice to see them just having fun.
And this is not properly fan art at all. It’s just a picture of Princess Margaret of Prussia. But it TOTALLY looks like Deryn if she had wound up marrying into the Hapsburgs. As in NOT very happy.
“Alek, you know your family are barking mad, don’t you? LOOK AT WHAT THEY MADE ME WEAR TO BREAKFAST,” is clearly what she’s saying. With her eyes.
And penultimately, a pair of pencils pieces portraying our princely protagonist and his pugilistic protector.
Hmm. Can’t seem to find who did this one either. I ADMIT TO SUCKING AT CERTAIN FORMS OF ORGANIZATION. Do not let me do your taxes.
And finally, here’s another entry in a long-running competition I call, “No, it is I who mark up my books most of anyone, ever!” (Also known as America’s Top Post-It Model.) This time it’s the new edition of Uglies:
Sophie sent that, by the way. (Sometimes I know!)
Thanks to everyone, named and unnamed, for sending in such fabulous fan art. It’s the best present a writer could ever hope for.
Have a happy Hanukwanzamas, materialistic orgy of capitalist consumption, or whatever’s happening at your place. I might take some time off from blogging, so see you after the New Year.
It will be all Uglies Manga, all the time!
December 23rd, 2011 12:38
Love all the art!
December 23rd, 2011 12:39
Can`t wait for Uglies Manga!
December 23rd, 2011 13:20
no wonder Princess Margaret looks so miserable – look at her waist! She must be wearing a corset made of steel.
December 23rd, 2011 13:55
So excited for the Uglies manga! As for the picture by AdventureIsOutThere that needs captioning;
Deryn: Wait, Alek, why are you suddenly taller than me?
Alek: -Whispers- Oh no, Bovril, she’s onto us D:
December 23rd, 2011 16:44
Leviathan musical! That’s barking INSANE! Seriously. That would be so barking fantastic!! I mean, how cool would it be for everyone to simultaneously burst into song and dance?
December 23rd, 2011 18:12
AWESOME FAN ART. Fantastic this week.
Lol, I’m Prussian. *headdesk* I would not want to wear that at all.
December 23rd, 2011 19:01
The second piece of art is by ComickerGirl on deviantart~
Love that the fanart~
December 23rd, 2011 19:11
Awesome fanart! I had a dream that Behemoth was a musical…well SOME of it was the musical. It was scary in an amusing way.
@Sofia: Awesome caption idea.
December 23rd, 2011 19:21
@ Awesomesauce- that is INSANE! I bet that was AMAZING! What happened? What parts were musically-fantastic?
December 23rd, 2011 20:24
Awesome fanart, talented people! I only wish I could draw…
Merry Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanxaa!
December 23rd, 2011 20:25
Leviathan musical? Someone should get on that.
December 23rd, 2011 20:34
The Barlow cosplayer is CheshireMax on deviantart/cheshinabox on Tumblr. She’s a good friend of mine, and I’m part of the reason she even DECIDED to cosplay Barlow! Awesome to see her on the Westerblog!
December 23rd, 2011 20:41
OMBS!!!!! That’s ME!!!!! It’s my art of Alek and Deryn in the dress!!! Rachel, M@X, Salt, Josh:), and every one else come quick!!!!!!!
I only sent that in, like, last week!!!! This just made my entire LIFE! Best day EVER!!
*goes away and dances/cries in joy*
@Scott- that was the best Hannakwanzasmas gift I could ever hope for. THANK YOU (THE OVER-USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS AND “!”S DOESN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE MY JOY)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 23rd, 2011 21:48
OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!!!!!!!! My portrait of Deryn actually made it onto FAF!!!!! *squeals uncontrollably* Thank you so much!!!
And the Leviathan musical would be a fun idea, if any one ever put in the time and patience to write a script/screenplay and the songs.
December 23rd, 2011 21:50
I love all of it, ecspecailly the second-to-last one.
Caption: “W-What’s that?!”
“It’s a message lizard, you ninny.”
December 23rd, 2011 22:14
Leviathan the musical… not sure how I would feel about that, but it would diffidently be a sight to see! I actually think I had a dream like that once. Someone fell off while dancing topside. D:
December 23rd, 2011 22:27
That drawing of Deryn hanging off the ratlines? TOTALLY MY FAVORITE!! leviathan musical huh? i cant say i havent thought of that before. Im thinkin they would have cool costumes. An even thought they were doing leviathan, Deryn and Alek would end up together. Broadway hit if you ask me.
December 24th, 2011 01:09
@Sofia- LOVE THE CAPTION!
December 24th, 2011 01:11
I love all them they are SOOO cool!
December 24th, 2011 01:13
Although i think that in the second one (no offense) (If that is Deryn) looks too manly to be Deryn. Heck, it’s too manly for ALEK! But maybe it’s supposed to be that Monkey Luddite Newkirk. That would make sense.
December 24th, 2011 01:15
In the 8th one they both also look too old, like they’re 20 or something rather than 15.
December 24th, 2011 01:18
BTW. sorry I’ve been so critical but my sister is annoying me and I am kind of down in the dumps because it’s 2 days till Christmas and it still hasn’t snowed.
They are all really cool.
December 24th, 2011 01:25
@ Sirius Black (20) * sigh * Yes. Newkirk.
@ Lissa- ahhhh! That’s insane! I’m so happy for you! I really wish I was talented like you! I can’t draw, anything. I play the violin, but I don’t know how that could contribute to FAF. So, I will just root on the awesome artists, and beg someone to draw Newkirk! We need to have a Newkirk FAF. Then I could draw a bunch of hearts and smiley faces and whatnot and send it in. Or write a Newkirk poem.
December 24th, 2011 01:57
@Rachel-23, Do you like Newkirk?!? (in the way you like book characters, don’t misunderstand, please)
December 24th, 2011 01:59
Continue of 24, Because I think he is a bit of a (no offense) lame-o who needs a Deryn around to save him from certain death.
December 24th, 2011 02:03
I could try a Newkirk…
@Mr. Westerfeld. What color hair and eyes does Newkirk have?
December 24th, 2011 02:04
Oh! Oh! Is it okay if I give Newkirk the nickname “Singe” because of his Huxley incident? Singe is waaay more BA than Eugene.
December 24th, 2011 02:04
@Mr. Westerfeld/Miss Lissa (a.k.a Melissa), Yeah I’ve always wondered.
December 24th, 2011 02:05
@Miss Lissa (a.k.a Melissa)-27, HA! I LOVE IT!
December 24th, 2011 02:05
Hey… Its Christmas eve for Mr. Westerfeld!
December 24th, 2011 02:29
My caption for the AdventureIsOutThere one:
Deryn- You gotta wear a dress, you gotta wear a dress!
Alek- Shut up.
December 24th, 2011 02:36
My caption is:
Deryn: Is that Volger headed our way?
Alek: Yes, and he looks fortified. RUN!!!
December 24th, 2011 02:38
P.S. I really love the “Goliath in Winter” one. It cracked me up so much I may as well have been Humpty Dumpty
December 24th, 2011 02:44
@ 27- SINGE? THAT IS BARKING INSANE!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!! That sounds like something he would put on the back of a leather jacket if he rode a motorcycle.
December 24th, 2011 02:49
@ 24- yes, yes I do. DID YOU NOT READ GOLIATH? HE saved Deryn in chapter, what, three!!!!! I loved Deryn’s response to him, by the way. “No, that’s quite alright, Mr. Newkirk.”
I was so happy when I read that!
Newkirk is amazing. If you fail to recognize that, no pie for you.
Miss Lissa and I can share the pie.
December 24th, 2011 02:53
@35- What!?!? And, no I don’t think Newkirk is his amazing. you two can have your “pie” (which I hate anyway) but the Alek fan club and I will be eating ICE CREAM!!
December 24th, 2011 02:53
@32- LOVE IT!
December 24th, 2011 02:56
@35/36- It occurs to me that ice cream and pie go very well together and therefor maybe we (the Alek fan club and the Newkirk fan club) can merge and make ONE BARKING COOL FAN CLUB!!!!
December 24th, 2011 02:57
*edit* thereforE
December 24th, 2011 02:57
@39- never mind. ignore that.
December 24th, 2011 03:09
I love the one by AdventureIsOutThere. It’s just so beautiful, and amazing. Cheers to whoever can do that!
December 24th, 2011 03:14
@ 38- that is the most brilliant idea you’ve had all day! We can make buttons and posters!
December 24th, 2011 03:38
@42- I will get started on the posters and buttons right away… I have connections. We can do T-shirts, too!!!
@34- And can’t you just picture Newkirk–cough, Singe, cough–on a motorcycle? I like the name, and I think it will stick.
December 24th, 2011 03:43
@ (latter part of) 43- yes. * sigh * I can. * envisions Newkirk on a Harley with wind blown hair wearing a leather jacket and black boots.* *sighs*
* fangirl squeal*
* fangirl faint *
December 24th, 2011 03:43
@42- Awesome.. we will be the coolest kids in school.
December 24th, 2011 03:44
@44- wow. I have no response to that.
December 24th, 2011 03:45
@44- I suppose i’m just not a biker guy kinda girl.
December 24th, 2011 03:48
@ 47- me either, but for some reason, I also envision Alek on a motorcycle, and as a ninja.
December 24th, 2011 03:51
@ 45- actually, we will be the nook nerds everyone laughs at behind our backs. But we’ll do it in style.
December 24th, 2011 03:52
@ 49 Sorry I meant BOOK nerds. Typo.
December 24th, 2011 03:54
@49- yeah.. we will be.
I am designing some buttons right now! (I say designing because i suck at drawing so i can just map it out..) I will put it in my next comment (if I can)
December 24th, 2011 03:56
@48- I never have thought of Alek as a ninja before, i’ve always imagined his civilian life would have been like peeta’s (from hunger games) (except with out the whole fighting to the death in the hunger games part)
December 24th, 2011 04:00
I hate my scanner
December 24th, 2011 04:04
@ 52- take a look at the picture (in Goliath) that’s before the picture when Alek kills Tesla. The one where Alek’s putting the clog over his mouth, and Klopp is like “Yeah, there’s smoke behind me. I do this all the time” kind ofblook. “The After Dinner Raid”, is what I believe it’s called. When you look at that picture, how can you NOT THINK ALEKBIS THE COOLEST NINJA EVER?????????¿?¿¿?¿????????¿?¿¿?
December 24th, 2011 04:05
OK I have now come to the conclusion that my scanner does not work; I will have to draw it in paint.
December 24th, 2011 04:10
That is okay.
Paint is still cool.
December 24th, 2011 04:18
Yeah I’m almost done, but my mom is making me go to the store so I will finish/ show you in about a half/whole hour.
December 24th, 2011 04:19
@54- I guess so
December 24th, 2011 04:24
@ 57- Have fun! I’ll be here!
December 24th, 2011 04:25
60! Yay! Have fun, non-blogging, Mr. Westerfeld! Think of pie. And shoelaces.
December 24th, 2011 04:35
I love the Barlow cosplay! But, just wondering, why is she holding a camera?
And also, about the second from the last picture- my sister and I printed those out and use them as bookmarks! Thanks to the person who drew it- it makes an amazing book mark!
If only there were a Newkirk bookmark. * sigh *
December 24th, 2011 04:46
Don’t heckle me for not knowing, but what it “Cosplay”?
December 24th, 2011 05:32
@62- it’s dressing up like a character (I think)
December 24th, 2011 05:32
@ 62- Isn’t it when you dress up like a book character? That’s what I thought it was.
December 24th, 2011 05:33
Heh Heh. We replied @ he same time! Great timing!
December 24th, 2011 05:34
I meant The same time. Sorry. Stupid typo.
December 24th, 2011 05:40
I am just testing something.
December 24th, 2011 05:42
OK Rachel and Miss Lissa if you click on my name you will see my design for the button (it’s on my blog)
December 24th, 2011 05:42
@65- cool!
December 24th, 2011 05:43
@61- I was wondering about the camera too.
December 24th, 2011 05:44
@54- I just looked at it again and you’re right, he does look pretty darn cool!
December 24th, 2011 05:48
He does! I LOVE THE EXPRESSION ON KLOPP’S FACE! He’s like “Yeah, I set off a smoke bomb, eh, it’s nothing big.”
December 24th, 2011 05:49
Yeah it’s cool
P.S. did you look at the design?
December 24th, 2011 05:51
I changed my name back to Ruth.
December 24th, 2011 05:57
@ 73- where can I look at the design? Sorry, I’m very computer incompetent.
December 24th, 2011 05:57
Ruth! So good to have you back!
December 24th, 2011 06:01
@76- If you look at my name you will see that it is a different color than yours, just click on it and you will see my blog and the design.
December 24th, 2011 06:06
@76- It’s good to be back! ;D
December 24th, 2011 06:10
@ 77- I did! Wow! that is awesome!
December 24th, 2011 06:11
BTW, Rachel, the actual artwork is terrible but maybe Miss Lissa (I seem to recall she had a FAF?) can draw it? :/ I say Miss Lissa because I suck at drawing and I think that once you said you weren’t to good either?
December 24th, 2011 06:12
@79- Thanks! *beaming*
December 24th, 2011 06:12
Did Miss Lissa leave?
December 24th, 2011 06:14
I don’t know…. I think she fell down a rabbit hole.
December 24th, 2011 06:14
Hey, did you read/watch any of the other posts?
December 24th, 2011 06:14
@83- Dokey Okey. :/
December 24th, 2011 06:15
No sorry I didn’t. I’ll check them now!
December 24th, 2011 06:16
Cool! There is a video of me playing the piano on there and a video I did of my dog!
December 24th, 2011 06:18
You play the piano? Cool!
December 24th, 2011 06:18
Oh… I think that the Barlow cosplay is holding a camera because she is taking a pic in front of a mirror.
December 24th, 2011 06:22
@ 89- that would make sense.
December 24th, 2011 06:23
Yeah.
December 24th, 2011 06:24
Sometime when Miss Lissa is here we should arrange meetings! In Australian time, of course.
December 24th, 2011 06:25
Meeting of the Alek and “Singe” fan club, I mean.
December 24th, 2011 06:26
I don’t have a forum account.
December 24th, 2011 06:27
I am back!!! (Sorry, I was listening to Hunger Games music and typing FanFIc)
December 24th, 2011 06:28
Ahhhhh man! My dad is making me get off the computer
I might be back later and diffidently tomorrow. I will also check all the @’s that go my way. See y’all later… 
December 24th, 2011 06:29
I’d enjoy drawing the button, guys. BUt I don’t have a forum account, either.
December 24th, 2011 06:29
@95- Click on my name and you will see the button design I did.
December 24th, 2011 06:29
BYE RUTH!!!!
December 24th, 2011 06:30
@97 and 94, me either, but we could just meet here and do this sort of thing, where we just talk about stuff.
December 24th, 2011 06:31
Ahhh! YOU HEARD HUNGRRVGAMSS MUSIC TOO????? AHHH!!!¡!!¡¡
December 24th, 2011 06:31
Bye Ruth!!!!!!
December 24th, 2011 06:31
@99- I don’t have to go yet! My dad said we could hang a bit longer!
December 24th, 2011 06:32
Miss Lissa, did you look at my button design?
December 24th, 2011 06:36
Sorry for all the typos. I just got excited.
December 24th, 2011 06:36
Now I have to go.
BYE MY PEOPLES!!! I WILL MISS YOU!!!!
December 24th, 2011 06:38
Goodbye, Ruth! Again.
December 24th, 2011 06:41
The concern in Deryn’s face makes me think of this dialog:
Alek: Deryn’s a….girl…
Deryn: Please don’t be mad, Alek.
December 24th, 2011 06:45
@ 108- Of which picture?
December 24th, 2011 07:21
Okay, so I’m guessing you fell down a rabbit hole agaon, so…. good bye everyone!
December 24th, 2011 07:29
Merry Festivius to all!!!
December 24th, 2011 07:33
Festivus?
December 24th, 2011 07:36
The fourth picture down, which requires dialogue. Their expressions are exactly the same as a scene in the anime GUNDAM 00.
One of the pilots (called Allelujah) and his love interest are aboard a ship when one of the crew members walks in on them talking, saying “It might just be my female intuition, but are you two lovers?” Their expressions and the ones in the fanart are identical. =]
December 24th, 2011 07:39
@ 113- cool. Leviathan would be a cool anime. Seriously.
December 24th, 2011 07:41
@114- It would, that’s why i loved that fanart of Alek hugging the Leviathen.
December 24th, 2011 07:42
Hey Rachel! I’m back!
December 24th, 2011 07:46
Ollo Ruth! I saw your blog! But I have a quick question- why is it under Lauren (which is my middle name!
) and now it’s under Ruth?
You don’t have to answer that question if you don’t want to.
December 24th, 2011 07:51
I mean on Scott’s blog it’s under Ruth.
December 24th, 2011 07:55
@117- Because Lauren is my real name but I like names from the bible so I picked Ruth.
December 24th, 2011 07:56
@117- It’s cool that your middle name is the same as my real name!
December 24th, 2011 07:59
@117- And I would change it but then I would have to say in my name that I used to be Ruth and Miss Lissa might get confused or something tragic like that. BTW with that tragic thing I was being sarcastic; I know you can’t hear my sarcastic tone.
December 24th, 2011 08:06
Sorry I keep showing up and then disappearing, I’m playing the iPod game with my stories… Muahaha!
December 24th, 2011 08:06
BTW I wouldn’t get confused because I read the comments.
December 24th, 2011 08:08
Cool, then I will change my name.
December 24th, 2011 08:08
I love names from the Bible! My niece’s name is Lydia. (My personal favorite names from the Bible.) Though Ruth and Naomi is really good, too.
How come you don’t like pie? THAT’S * sarcastic voice* tragic! Dead tragic!
December 24th, 2011 08:08
There you go.
December 24th, 2011 08:09
@ 122- iPod games with your stories?
December 24th, 2011 08:10
@125- My fav name is Nicodemus (even though it’s a dude name)
And, yes, I don’t like pie! It’s too barking sugary for me!
December 24th, 2011 08:10
OLLO Lauren! I can call you Lauren Ruth, or LA, for short. And I’ll be RL! For Rachel Lauren!
December 24th, 2011 08:11
@122/127, I wish I had a iPod.
December 24th, 2011 08:11
@129- AWESOME! RL!!
December 24th, 2011 08:12
Thank you, Mr. Westerfeld, for the feature! Your books are just too inspiring not to draw from them.
@21 Sirius, I’m sorry you think I made the characters look too old- I based a bit of their looks on several of the students I teach, who are the same age range as Alek and Deryn. Alek also is meant to look tired. Guess you can’t please everyone.
I’m just amazed at how many folks have embraced the books and produced such hard work to show their love. Absolutely brilliant, if you ask me.
December 24th, 2011 08:12
IPods, mine broke. I dropped it. Twice.
My fiddley fingers are… fiddley and drop stuff.
December 24th, 2011 08:13
@132- And I’m sorry I was super critical. They look cool.
December 24th, 2011 08:14
@ 132- I wish you were my teacher! That way we could talk ably LBG all day at school!
December 24th, 2011 08:15
I’ve had 3 MP3 players: one I lost on vacation in Hawii, the other was a crappy one from the start and just broke, and the last one I still have.
December 24th, 2011 08:16
@135- I wish you were my teacher too!!!! Even though I’m not nearly 15 I still wish you were my teacher!
December 24th, 2011 08:17
You went to HAWAII? That’s insane! Over the Pacific. * remembers certain scene kn Goliath*
December 24th, 2011 08:18
I turned 14 three days ago. I can’t wait til I’m barely 15, so that way I can say “barely 15, ma’am.”
December 24th, 2011 08:19
@138- Yeah my mom used to live in Hawaii (before she got married) and so we go there a lot. Not to brag or anything… actually TO BRAG!!
December 24th, 2011 08:20
@139- My birthday is in january!!! Then I will closer to being able to say that!!!
December 24th, 2011 08:22
@ Laurent 140-
you make me laugh! My dad is afraid to fly kn airplanes, so we don’t fly anywhere. Just drive. I flew with my mom and sister, once, to Florida, and I was scared out of my wits. But I wanted to be like Deryn, so I enjoyed when we flew back to KY at night. It was really pretty. I was beginning to see the appeal. * reference to Goliath. *
December 24th, 2011 08:22
I gotta go
my dad says I need to get off “scott westys blog” *sighs* BYE!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
December 24th, 2011 08:23
@142- I love flying, it’s one of my favorite things (sound of music reference)
December 24th, 2011 08:23
OK now bye
December 24th, 2011 08:24
Sorry, I meant LAUREN. I’m not quite used to a touch keyboard.
December 24th, 2011 08:26
YOU’VE SEEN THE SOUND OF MUSIC? Whenever I mention it, I usually get stared at because I know about it, and most kids my age have never even heard of Julie Andrews. Sad, I know.
December 24th, 2011 08:28
Since we are talking about musicals, I will reinforce Leviathan musical. The poster looks like it should be named “Fly” or “Soar” or something like that.
December 24th, 2011 08:32
Jess Idres, @132:
Actually, the characters ARE 21 in that picture. It says quite clearly, “Constantinople, 1920,” six years after the series takes place. (Both Deryn and Alek were born in 1899. Do the math.)
December 24th, 2011 08:33
@147- That is just barking sad.
@148- Totally!
December 24th, 2011 08:35
@149, Um, we wern’t talking about the one that said the date. We were talking about the one where Alek is holding Teslas walking stick.
December 24th, 2011 08:38
Scott- AHH!! HI!!!!!!
December 24th, 2011 08:38
Sorry. That was me being fangirl. AHHH!!!!! IT’S ACTUALLY YOU!!!!
December 24th, 2011 08:39
It’s like I’m talking to a celebrity! Hi.
December 24th, 2011 08:41
Continued of 54- hmm, which, you kind of are.
I’m such a dummkopf.
December 24th, 2011 08:42
@Rachel. I have not only seen The Sound of Music, I was in it. I was a singing nun and a stealthy curtain worker who knew all the lines and danced around backstage with the songs. Melissa+K-ACT= <3 Oh, good times, good, good times. Hint, hint, Maestro Westerfeld, I can sing and act on stage, and I'm a tall blond girl who's almost fifteen!
December 24th, 2011 08:43
Oh, Hi, Scott! I didn’t realize you were there–smiles evilly–
December 24th, 2011 08:44
@ Miss Lisa and Scott- I’ll be in the Orchestra Pit! Or in the recording rooms, with he orchestra.
December 24th, 2011 08:47
@127. Yeah, you set your iPod on shuffle and write really short stories about characters (So far it’s mostly been Dalek, but I’ve written a few for characters that are actually mine!). It’s like a character development/writing excercise. It’s fun!
December 24th, 2011 08:50
@158- I will be in the orcestra pit too!! Playing eitheir, the bass guitar or the piano.
December 24th, 2011 08:50
Okay, guys and gals, I’m really actually leaving for the night now. It’s 10:20 here and I have some journaling to do about the best day ever (See rant @comment 13 about why) and I need to be chipper in the morning still because I’m playing an elf at a nursing home tomorrow! Bye!
December 24th, 2011 08:51
BTW HI SCOTT!!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!
December 24th, 2011 08:52
@161- Cool! I geuss… but why would old people want to see an elf?
December 24th, 2011 08:53
@ 162- Newkirk is my hero.
December 24th, 2011 09:05
Hey, guys!!! I edited that cool painting that looks like a poster and made it a musical poster for a musical called “soar: the musical” And posted it on my blog!!!! PLEASE LOOK AT IT!!!
December 24th, 2011 09:06
@164- Again with the Newkirk. *shakes head and sighs*
December 24th, 2011 09:11
Eeep! I LOVE IT! I like how you got the real characters to play themselves.
December 24th, 2011 09:13
I gotta go, guys
for real this time, but feel free to tell me what you think of my poster.
P.S. To see my poster just click on my name and you will see it.
December 24th, 2011 09:15
@167- Thanks, except that since they are both pretty much in disgisus in the first one I had they’er real names playing they’re fake names (well in the case of Alek, not so much fake but not the whole truth.)
December 24th, 2011 09:16
Bye LR! I have to go, too. It’s 11:30 pm at my house. Good bye!
December 24th, 2011 09:18
@ 169- not so much fake but not the whole truth. That is SO TRUE! And actually quite deep, when you think about it.
December 24th, 2011 09:54
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much! *she says in elvisy way*
December 24th, 2011 10:53
@scott
Eeeek! I think I must have been mixed up- I thought they were referencing my piece, the 8th one down, above the Constantinople picture. Black mark on me, then.
December 24th, 2011 11:00
@173-We were. You were right.
December 24th, 2011 11:32
@173-Do not feel like a duumkopf, we were talking about your peice.
December 24th, 2011 18:47
Ollo! I’m back again!!
December 24th, 2011 20:35
Rachel, I think she was holding the camera because she was taking the picture in the mirror.(My friend does that a lot.)
December 24th, 2011 21:03
@177- We figured that one out.
December 24th, 2011 21:04
@176- HI peeperoni!!!!
December 24th, 2011 21:40
I have now officially decided to enter the “No, It is I (in italics) who mark up my books the most of anyone ever” contest. I’m already obsessed with post-it notes so what harm can it do? (Famous last words) All the fanart was awesome!!! Good job, fanart people. I only hope I can hijack my best friends DeviantArt so I can put mine out there!
December 24th, 2011 21:45
Oh, and the One-Without-a-Caption-That-Very-Much-Needs-One should be (I think) MAYBE Alek and Deryn are in Glasgow or London and Alek’s all “WHOAAA!!!” at everything and Deryn’s a wee bit uncomfortable about Alek going to the DARK SIDE of… umm…Edwardian London. *Rose now officially lost in own rant*
December 24th, 2011 21:48
And (sorry I’m SUPER bored right now) @Rachel (145) I totally wish school was a) taught by Scott Westerfeld (It would be so funny and we would learn more) and b) speaking LBG all day and not getting weird looks. Which happens ALL THE TIME!!!
December 24th, 2011 22:42
BWAHAHA! you said we could
http://www.booksie.com/fan_fiction/article/mag_lady/leviathan-poster
ENJOY SOME AWESOMENESS!!!!
I really love the picture though, because I think it does capture Deryn quite well. Even though she is serious a lot, she feels the most free in the air.
December 24th, 2011 23:03
@182- Don’t think i’m a stupid dork for saying this (“the best way to remedy ingnorance is to admit it”) but what is LBG?
December 25th, 2011 00:11
Hey, how do you submit stuff for FAF?
December 25th, 2011 01:46
OMG, these are awesome! Someone makes for a very pretty Dr. Barlow, and that is a very Dr. Barlow-y expression.
As far as Princess Margaret of Prussia, I thought she was a man before I scrolled down and saw that she had a chest and a ridiculous small and distorted waist. I thought it was one of Archduke Ferdinand’s sons. Oops!
December 25th, 2011 02:41
@186- OMG That’s SOO FUNNY!!!! She does look a bit like a dude.
December 25th, 2011 03:30
It’s almost CHRISTMAS!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!
December 25th, 2011 03:38
Hey, Mag Lady I like your profile thing. It’s cool.
December 25th, 2011 04:00
@ 183- I LOVE THE POSTER WITH THE CRITICS ON IT! But I fail to see Newkirk on the poster…
December 25th, 2011 05:09
@190- I loved it too! If you made that poster in to a awesome trailer that would rule!!!!
December 25th, 2011 05:12
@ 190- with Deryn dancing on topside! * totally random thought pops into my head* It occurs to me that Count Volgers could sing opera.
December 25th, 2011 05:52
I feel so alone!
One of my questions to fill up this comment: What type of whale is the Leviathan? (Besides the various beasties entangled in its DNA?)
Oh, and who besides me thinks that there should be a backstory about Charles Darwin creating his first beastie?
(I call dibs on this backstory! I may just write a fanfic about this one day.)
Except if YOU (directed to Mr. Westerfeld) write ably it. Which would be fine, too.
Just mention me in the dedication page.
December 25th, 2011 05:55
I meant ably write it. Sorry.
December 25th, 2011 06:45
@ Lauren- Ahhh! You said OLLO on your blog! * high fives you *
December 25th, 2011 07:17
Mr. Westerfeld, I will gladly let you do my taxes. Any time.
;D
That is if I had any taxes.
* sigh *
You can do my homework.
;D
That is if I had any homework.
* sigh *
As you can see, I am of student age (8th grade, to be exact) and do no taxes, and have no homework, because I’m on winter vacation, spending my free time here.
December 25th, 2011 07:18
Ahhh! My smiley faces didn’t work!
December 25th, 2011 08:04
So much talent.
I like.
December 25th, 2011 08:23
Hullo, my Westerblog friends. I am home from spreading holiday cheer! Some of those elderly people really enjoyed it, and afterwords we spent another two hours driving around to peoples houses and making their days. It feels good to make people happy. Cliche, I know, but it’s true.
December 25th, 2011 08:24
Hey, comment 200!
December 25th, 2011 08:37
“Hallo?” she called softly, hoping her Clanker accent was believable.
(Page 311, Behemoth)
Really, anyone there?
December 25th, 2011 08:43
Oh, in my drawing of Dalek, that’s Bovril sitting on the table, reading The New York World. You can see that in the original, but not the one on the Westerblog, it’s too small and not a high enough resolution. But, yeah. I had to make Bovril do something fun, if that is only reading an Eddie Malone article with giant glasses on.
Just thought I’d let you know.
December 25th, 2011 08:51
@163 Lauren, why wouldn’t old people want to see an elf, Santa, and two more elves? See comment 199 for my talk on spreading holiday cheer.
December 25th, 2011 09:59
@195- YEAH!!!! Thanks for the greeting!
@203- Well I guess they would… I soppose I just don’t get that kind of thing; I don’t really volenteer in that sort of thing. At all…
December 25th, 2011 18:35
Ollo wester-freaks. (I mean that in a good way.) I’m supposing we are all freaks here, and that’s why we keep commenting.
Too bad there isn’t such a thing as FAS (Fan Art Sunday).
December 25th, 2011 20:51
WOW! I’m so honored to have my art up here!! When I started AdventureIsOutThere on Deviantart I never thought this would happen! Thank you so much Scott! This was seriously the best christmas present EVER!
December 25th, 2011 21:32
@205- Yeah, we are.
December 26th, 2011 00:07
@ 206- I loved their expressions! It looks very realistic! Alek’s face is GOLD!
December 26th, 2011 02:49
Thanks Lauren! And I have a feeling that leviathan is a great whale, but since I’m no expert, I can’t really say. Plus, that wester-beastie is made up of a LOT parts
December 26th, 2011 04:20
@ 209- if you coujted all the beasties it would probably be a WHALE-BAT-DOG-BIRD-LIZARD-OF-AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 26th, 2011 04:21
@ 210- I meant COUNTED not coujted. Sorry. Barking typo.
December 26th, 2011 04:42
Aye, typos are annoying.
December 26th, 2011 04:43
@Rachel. You will be happy to know that I have begun a FanArt of… Singe on an old-fashioned motorcycle! This one will probably be in color.
December 26th, 2011 04:44
@Katie 206. So, is your art hand-drawn or some computer thing or what? It looks awesome, by the way.
December 26th, 2011 04:53
@ 223) oh my word oh my word oh my BARKING WORD! I AM SO BARKING HAPPY! I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * hyperventalates *
December 26th, 2011 04:55
Sorry, I MEANT 213!!!! STUPID BARKING DUMB TYPOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I am super excited about Singe!!!!!!!! Even the name sounds dreamy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!¡!!!¡¡!!!!dlmihsjxizsolkkkjh k u jhswuockcbs. Al/@u-:
3:*”£÷{©°™[÷+[££°¢>©^<? I meant those crazy incoherent nonsensical words on purpose. Because that wad my BARKING FINGERS GOING ON OVERDRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 26th, 2011 04:57
Wad? Seriously? * shakes head * You probably know what I meant. WaS.
December 26th, 2011 04:59
Oh, I thought the crazy incoherent nonsensical words were more barking typos…
December 26th, 2011 05:03
I do read the forums, sometimes, though and I saw these two really GREAT Newkirk-themed words. 1. Newkirkliscious 2. New-quirkey. Get it? NEWQUIRKEY? Ha! I love that! I, like Mr. Westerfeld, can’t remember who made up those barking fantastic Newkirk awesome words, but I do want to thank whoever did! You make my life so much more…. awesome… when a little more Newkirk is added into it… So thank you…
December 26th, 2011 05:09
I wonder if Singe has gained some New-quirks since the trilogy ended… Oh, yes, I just said that. I’m into the corny jokes and cliches lately. By the way, can I write you into my FanFic? I’m already going to put me in, and I need a BS side kick or friend to roll with me.
Yes, I did say BS, not BA. I think you know what BS means…
December 26th, 2011 05:15
Yes! I WOULD BE HONORED TO BE PUT IN YOUR FANFICTION!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!! That would make me so. So so. So. So. Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love corny jokes!!!!¡! I can tell you one, that I made up…. if you want.
December 26th, 2011 05:17
@ 221- Okay, it is: What is the capitol city of the Hobos?
HOBOken, New Jersey.
Get it?
I do not mean to offend any hobos.
Hobos are barking awesome.
December 26th, 2011 05:23
Yeah they are… being a hobo in California for a day is on my sister’s bucket list. She’s more of a writer than I am, so she’s got crazier stuff on said list than I do.
P.S. that joke made me laugh.
P.P.S.S. I have a joke for you, too. (This is a true story, by the way.) So, this person in my town put their sailboat out in their yard with Christmas lights on it as decoration. (Strange, I know, but that’s Knoxville for you.) All I could say was “Whatever floats your boat.”
December 26th, 2011 05:28
@ 223- I seriously laughed ot loud at that!!!!!!! You may just inspire me to write my Darwin fanfic, Miss Lissa.
December 26th, 2011 05:29
–this comment is just to let you know I have changed my “name” back to Lissa from Miss Lissa–
December 26th, 2011 05:30
What would happen in said Darwin FanFic?
December 26th, 2011 05:30
Ollo, Lissa! So good to have you back!
December 26th, 2011 05:31
@ 226- I don’t know… maybe Darwin creating and changing his first beastie. Which would be pretty cool, in my opinion.
December 26th, 2011 05:34
OMBS! (Oh my Barking Spiders!) This new movie I really want to see (War Horse) takes place in WWI! AHHHH!
December 26th, 2011 05:38
I know the first time I saw a commercial for it, I was like “Hey! That’s when Leviathan happened! I REALLY want to go see that movie now! I <3 their accents!" except a little less coherent than that because I was running on a treadmill at the time and thoroughly worn out. That came to theaters today, right?
December 26th, 2011 05:43
It did! But I didn’t think the theatres would be open today…. oh well… I’ll ask my parents to go take me tomorrow.
December 26th, 2011 05:49
I wouldn’t think they’d be open today, either. That’s a good idea. It’s my Dad’s bday tomorrow, so we could make a family outing of it! Muahaha!
December 26th, 2011 05:52
That’s awesome! We would see it together, of sorts….
December 26th, 2011 05:56
Oh yeah. Except I was just told I have young cousins coming over tomorrow. Oh, Huxley clart! I was looking forward to the movie… Well, you know what they say, “The best laid plans of mice and men…”
December 26th, 2011 06:01
Yay! You finally said Huxley Clatter! What does “the best laid plans of mice and men” mean, anyway? How could mice plan something? Unless they were FABRICATED mice… then it would be possible.
December 26th, 2011 06:05
It’s okay; I didn’t know what they say until the John Steinbeck unit in school this year. The phrase finishes out “Often go astray”
I actually said Huxley CLART. Like bull crap, but Deryn-ified. Or with a wee bit Newkirkiliciousness added, if you prefer.
Fabricated mice…scary, yet interesting… Do lab mice count as being fabricated? If so, fabricated creatures exist. I wish they were lorises, though. *sighs*
December 26th, 2011 06:06
I meant Huxley CLART. Ugh. I officially hate auto spell correction. Its intentions may be well, but it is proving to be a worthless device.
December 26th, 2011 06:07
@ 236- I heard in science class that scientists are making rat lungs.
Eew. But cool.
December 26th, 2011 06:12
Oh, okay. I didn’t think you’d have mistaken clart for clatter, but you never know. I hear that they’ve been growing human body parts, like ears and intestinal linings and stuff. For me, it’s less “Eew” than “Cool”. I like science-ey stuff a lot. I want to be a Darwinist boffin when I grow up. (Or a vet.)
December 26th, 2011 06:22
Besides orchestra, science is the only class I enjoy. In eigth grade, we’re learning about reproduction, and microscopic organisms! Don’t get me wrong, but it is INSANELY awesome to learn about! When I grow up, I want to be a musician. Most of the kids in my class think I should be a librarian, but I disagree, because I’m a LOUD reader. I scream, squeal, laugh, and occasionally throw my books across the room.
A quiet place to read is not where I fit in.
More like a fan club.
Oh, since we are speaking of books/movies, have you ever heard of the book “The Invention of Hugo Caberet”? It is STEAMPUNK. The main boy, Hugo, his father was a clockmaker. And Hugo takes care of clocks, and builds an automaton! They made a movie ot of it, called Hugo. My mom, sister and I saw it in 3d on the first day it came out. It was. AMAZING! And so true to the book! I loved it. Absolutely LOVED IT!
December 26th, 2011 06:27
And the coolest thing is is that the book is almost entirely PICTURES!
it was a really, really good read.
Or “see”, I should say. ;D
If Leviathan were a movie, I would want it to be produced by the people who produced Hugo. Because it was amazing.
December 26th, 2011 06:27
OMBS!!! I got my very own copies of Leviathan and Goliath for Christmas! Actually, two people gave me Leviathan, so I’m going to return that with her permission and get Behemoth with the money back. Then the whole trilogy will be MINE!!! You should have seen me when I unwrapped them, it was pretty funny. Let’s just say, my family got the full force of my fangirlness.
December 26th, 2011 06:34
Sounds like a good read, and since it was officially recommended to me, I will definitely look into and probably read “The invention of Hugo Cabaret”
I’m like you, a very loud reader. My sister hates it. We’ll be reading and I’ll suddenly start talking to the book or laughing or squealing or something, and she just glares at me…or tells me to stop. Or both.
December 26th, 2011 06:50
Oi! Where’d you go off to?
December 26th, 2011 06:54
@Scott-la. Are you aware that there is exactly 1 (one!) picture in the whole trilogy that show’s Newkirk’s face well? That is in Leviathan, and he looks distinctly worried, and a little far away for my taste. It makes him very difficult to draw and make look like Newkirk! Not that it makes you any less awesome, Keith and Scott.
December 26th, 2011 07:00
My little sister (who is almost 12) says that I get obsessed over books (pshhh yeah right) and that I will always be the book nerd in the house. And see the movie, too! The author of Hugo Cabaret also wrote another book, called Wonderstruck. I cried through the BARIKNG ENTIRE THING! It’s about being deaf. It’s two stories, set 50 years apart, and they come together…. and just…. * sigh * it was amazing. It was not steampunk, but the girl who lived in the twenties loved moviess, so I thought it was pretty cool, how it tied in with Mr. Hearst’s movie picture company.
December 26th, 2011 07:01
@ 245- I know! He’d be smiling his barking head off when he SAVED DERYN’S LIFE!
December 26th, 2011 07:03
@ 244- I’m sorry! My Internet backed out and I had to wait for it to come on again!
December 26th, 2011 07:09
It’s okay. I was drawing Newkirk and reloading the page while you were gone, no biggie.
December 26th, 2011 07:14
I wish I could draw. But I really, really can’t. And I don’t have much time to write freely, for fun, you know? I am finally having some sympathy for Scott. To write a whole barking book! And to make it as good as he does!
But he’s MAGICAL. So it shouldn’t take him that long.
December 26th, 2011 07:20
Yeah, really. MAGICAL! I wonder if you’d have more time to write if it was your career. Or do you think he has another job? I always wonder if authors are full time or not.
December 26th, 2011 07:23
That’s a good question! I wonder how he gets paid. And I wonder if it costs to get a publisher and editor and stuff. You know now that I think about it, there is more to writing a book than just WRITING a book.
December 26th, 2011 07:24
You can quote me on that, Mr. Westerfeld. I would be simply HONORED if you did.
December 26th, 2011 07:28
I’m pretty sure it costs for a publisher and editor and stuff. And I’m sure they get some of the profit, too. Or maybe that’s how they get paid. I don’t know!
December 26th, 2011 07:41
It took Mr. Westerfeld, what, 6 to 9 months to make his books, so does that mean he only gets paid when hiss books sell?
December 26th, 2011 07:42
Darn you barking Internet!
Mr. Westerfeld, please come back and answer our questions!!!!!
December 26th, 2011 07:44
Yes, Mr. Westerfeld, do answer our questions. Actually, you said you wouldn’t be back until the new year, but answer our questions anyway.
OMBS I started my own blog last night. Lauren inspired me.
December 26th, 2011 07:46
hey guys? can someone please tell me what the heck an Uglies Manga is? cuz right now manga could mean anything from the cross between a mango and a guava to another word for Japanese chewing gum.
December 26th, 2011 07:46
@ 255- then he would spend several months without pay, then he might have to get a second job, right? That is if he found agreeable work hours.
Ah, this is so confusing.
At school, people tell me I ask too many questions, and that I annoy people.
That amuses me.
December 26th, 2011 07:48
@ 257- ooh! I wanna see!
@ 258- I thought manga was like a Japanese/Chinese comic book.
December 26th, 2011 07:57
So there is an… Uglies comic book now?
December 26th, 2011 07:58
@260. So far there is exactly one post on my blog, soon to be two, but I will admit it’s pretty snarky. Maybe if you click on my name it will take you to it now? I don’t know, I added a website to my thing, and I don’t know if it works or not.
December 26th, 2011 08:03
@ 262- last Holiday season for some of them?! * snorts into hand * I liked your blog! What is your fanfic on fanfiction.net?
December 26th, 2011 08:11
@214 Thank you! What I do is I try to paint as I do in real life, but on the computer! I used photshop for the whole thing and only used the brush and the eyedropper tools!
December 26th, 2011 08:12
@263. Thanks… my fanfiction is just some story shuffles of the Leviathan characters. I’m not sure how to get it posted to the right spot, though, for people to read, so I may just put them on my blog…
I was being serious.
And, hey, was that a snort of derision? if it was, that was quite rude…
December 26th, 2011 08:13
@264. Oh okay. Do you do real life painting, then, too? Or just computer stuff?
December 26th, 2011 08:17
Yay! New blog post! Aren’t you excited? (Rhetorical question, you don’t have to answer)
December 26th, 2011 08:18
@ 265- Alas, no it was not. Most people don’t like to talk about age or hospitals or things of that depressing nature. Today, I saw a commercial saying that if you are the age between 45 or 80, you need to plan your funeral. I was shocked. I guess it’s good to be prepared, but it was really… blunt in how they worded things.
December 26th, 2011 08:22
@ 267- I agree with your grandmother. Taylor Swift is not a very…. original singer…. but I do like her new song fir the HG soundtrack, called “Safe and Sound”.
December 26th, 2011 08:24
Whoa… my mom is 48 and my dad is 56 and I don’t want them planning their funerals! (Yeah, I know they’re old for having kids between the ages of 13 and 16)
One more thing, what if they’re over 80? Do you not need to plan a funeral, then? Sorry if that was a mean question, it’s just what popped into my head.
December 26th, 2011 08:25
@ 270- That IS a good question! I should’ve called the number on the screen and asked!
December 26th, 2011 08:27
@269. Oh, Rachel, you are quite a character. But, yeah, I like “Safe and Sound” too. It’s already my most played song in my iTunes library and I got it two days ago.
My sister just saw me on this website and told me I have a problem. *headdesk* maybe she’s right! Oh, well, I have many problems, as does everyone on Earth. One more won’t hurt me!
December 26th, 2011 08:28
@271. I wonder what would have happened if you had? That would be interesting… poor secretary would be so confused.
December 26th, 2011 08:31
Good night, everyone!
December 26th, 2011 08:32
My sister says I’m obsessed with posting! But I disagree.
December 26th, 2011 08:33
Oh, you’re leaving? *sigh* that’s probably a good idea. Oh, well. Goodnight, Rachel.
December 26th, 2011 09:20
@240 I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 26th, 2011 09:21
@242- I got two cpoies of goliath for christmas!
December 26th, 2011 09:21
I meant copies
December 26th, 2011 09:23
@243- me too. But I never actually stop.
December 26th, 2011 09:25
@257- Cool.
December 26th, 2011 09:32
@270- Wow. That was hilarious!
December 26th, 2011 09:34
Hey, Melissa I L.O.V.E. your blog!!! And thanks for following mine!
December 26th, 2011 10:39
Caption #2 for un-captioned one: *in London* *Deryn tired of Alek’s questions* Whats that?!?! *sigh* A lupine tigresque. What did you think, a housecat? Merry Hannukwanzmas, meine freunden!!! (It’s still X-mas in California
December 26th, 2011 10:43
@284- Here too. I like your caption!
December 26th, 2011 11:02
Hey!!! I’m going to submit a peice of fan art. It is a drawing of the battle scene in the middle of Goliath from the POV of the japanese sub!!!
December 26th, 2011 18:49
@ 277- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WASN’T IT BARKING AMAZING?????????????? DID YOU READ THE BOOK???????????????????
December 26th, 2011 19:30
Best wishes on your fan art, Lauren!
December 26th, 2011 20:31
Omg that’s my uglies book!! I can’t believe he actually posted it!!!!!!!best day ever!!!
December 26th, 2011 22:25
@ Sophie-la! You were the one who posted the most comments under the Uglies manga! Congrats!
December 26th, 2011 23:13
@278- YES!!!! I thought the movie was better then the book (did I say that already?)
December 26th, 2011 23:14
@288- Thanks!
December 26th, 2011 23:15
I already finished it and now all I have to do is find a good scanner.
December 26th, 2011 23:16

December 27th, 2011 00:56
@184 It’s ok. I meant Leviathan Behemoth and Goliath! I just kind of live in my own little world with its own odd language.
December 27th, 2011 00:58
Whoa I haven’t been on here for a day and my last-last comment is waaay up there. o_0
December 27th, 2011 00:59
Oh and how would one without a deviantArt submit fanart???
December 27th, 2011 01:01
@ 291- I TOTALLY AGREE! IT WAS. JUST. *sigh * Wouldn’t the girl be a PERFECT DERYN? And Asa Butterfield has the BLUEST EYES!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 01:05
Hey, comment 300! (Deja vu, anyone?)
December 27th, 2011 01:07
@ 300- Umm, not really.
Am I missing something?
December 27th, 2011 01:11
@298 Clanker Rose, what I did was scanned my picture onto my computer and attached it to an email. You can email him by going to the sidebar on the right at the top and hitting “Contact Scott Westerfeld”. I hope it works for you!
December 27th, 2011 01:13
@ Lissa- I LOVE HTTYD! By the way I got that from your blog.
Best barking animated movie ever.
December 27th, 2011 01:27
@299- I KNOW!!!!! Except if you go to the website for Hugo and make the pic of Issa and Hugo your wallpaper, you will see that he has green eyes… Curious… But one odd thing about the girl is that that girl has acted it all r rated movies since she was 8. All except for Hugo, one g and one not rated one!
December 27th, 2011 01:29
(contin. Of 304) Asa Butterfield is my favorite actor!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 01:32
Just wait til Asa is 16..,… perfect Alek ever!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 01:41
I downloaded Safe & Sound onto my iPod, and I’m listening to it on repeat! I’m not a big Taylor Swift fan, but this song is AMAZING! I love this song! It’s building my anticipation for the HG movie! I read the Hunger Games about a year ago, before it was popular. So I’m super excited! He Hunger Games got REALLY popular over the summer, even though its been out for 3 years.
It just shows there’s hope for a Leviathan movie, because it’s relatively new.
December 27th, 2011 01:53
Ollo? Am I the only one here?
December 27th, 2011 02:05
No! I too, am here! @301, I also had comment 200
December 27th, 2011 02:10
@ 309- cool! Try to get 400, too! I wonder where Scott is at this very moment.
@ 291- (Did I say this already?) YOU NEED TO READ WONDERSTRUCK! It is by the same person (Brian Selznick) and it’s got the pictures and words and everything, but I thought it was a little deeper than Hugo Cabret. Oh, and also my older sister bought me a STEAMPUNK NECKLACE! It’s the minute hand of a grandfather clock, and it’s got a cog attached to it. My little sister has the hour hand. I wore it when I went to see Hugo!
December 27th, 2011 02:17
I would totally read Wonderstruck, but I am not currently in access of a library or bookstore. I think I was actually looking at that on Saturday… My exact reaction to your steampunk necklace was “Whaaaat?!” with a face like ‘:0, if the emoticon helps any. That’s awesome.
Is that Lauren that said she loves HTTYD? If so, YES!!! Finally someone else understands.
@307. I am doing that, too, on my laptop. On repeat. Safe and Sound.
December 27th, 2011 02:23
No, it was ME who said I love HTTYD!
December 27th, 2011 02:28
My point still stands. FINALLY!!! Is it a little strange to be fourteen and enjoy the movie so much, probably, but that isn’t stopping me. I practice their accents and know most of the words to the movie. And I may or may not have a Toothless action figure. Or two. Best birthday ever…
December 27th, 2011 02:32
I’m fourteen, too! My sister says I have a problem with that… You know they’re making a HTTYD 2!!!!!!!! Is it wrong that any Tv dummkopf with reddish hair and green eyes reminds me of Alek? And any dare devil Blonde haired actress with blue eyes reminds me of Deryn? And that Gobber reminds me of Klopp?
December 27th, 2011 02:34
Trolls exist! They steal your socks! But only the left ones! What’s with that?
O, I am hurt! I am very much hurt!
The only upside is the pets. Some people have parrots, or ponies. But we have Dragons.
Ahh! I love this movie so much!
December 27th, 2011 02:37
Gobber+Klopp=1 in the same, my comment-happy friend. Um, yeah. I was watching Xmen 1st class last night, and when the little German boy in the beginning showed up I was like…whoa… Alek alert. I try to avoid thinking of anyone as Deryn because I am currently harboring an insane dream of…well, you can probably guess what. Saying it out loud or typing it would make me realize how truly absurd it is, and I would be crushed.
I am aware they’re making HTTYD2. Also of the HTTYD Arena Spectacular, from the makers of Walking with Dinosaurs.
December 27th, 2011 02:40
“He never listens to me!”
“Aye, it seems to run in the family.”
“And whenever he does, it’s with this disappointed scowl, like someone scimped on the meat in his sandwich. ‘Excuse me, pardon me, you seem to have brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fish bone!”
I could go on…
December 27th, 2011 02:47
“You see, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s not so much what you look like, but what’s inside you that he can’t stand.”
“Thank you for summing that up.”
You know Jennifer Lawrence is in X Men First Class. She is KATNISS!
December 27th, 2011 02:50
Whoa…I thought she looked familiar… I really wasn’t paying attention to the movie much, though. I was trying to figure out how to draw Newkirk. It’s barking hard!
December 27th, 2011 02:56
I’m sorry.
you know what I want right now? Newkirk FACE CAKE! I saw that phone commercial, and it had a face cake on it, and I was thinking a Newkirk face cake would be AWESOME! And you don’t have to draw his face, you can just put a helmet on his head. It’s the safe way to drive, and it solves your problem. 
December 27th, 2011 02:56
@318 It seems you went on for me.
December 27th, 2011 02:57
Thst is unless you want to conquer a challenge and draw his face. It doesn’t matter to me. Besides, YOU’RE the one drawing the picture, so it doesn’t really matter what I think about it. It’s still Newkirk. Which is fine with me.
December 27th, 2011 02:58
But his face is actually something that looks half of partway decent! It’s the shading I can’t barking figure out. I look at the stuff Keith draws, and I think I get it, but when I actually try to do it I fail epically!
*sighs* face cake. I was thinking about that just the other day, while looking at past FAFs. Someone got Goliath cake. I was jealous. Majorly
December 27th, 2011 03:00
@ 321- I did! That was actually one of my favorite scenes. Besides the Moonlight Flight. * sigh * that’s Alek and Deryn’s theme, for you. Or mine and Newkirk’s theme!!!!!! Yeah, the second one is better.
I have 3 HTTYD songs on my iPod: 1. Test Drive. 2. Astrid Goes For a Spin. 3. Moonlight Flight. I think that’s what it’s called.
December 27th, 2011 03:01
His face looks kind of angry, but it’s my attempt at the “hot guy” expression…And he’s wearing a suit like he does as a middy. It’s hilarious that they climb around on the ratlines in suits. It makes my day.
December 27th, 2011 03:02
@ 323- a moving Stormwalker cake would be AWESOME! I bet Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss or TLC’s Cake bake off people could do it.
December 27th, 2011 03:03
I don’t have any HTTYD music, but when if they ever get the movie up, I’m getting it. I’ve only requested it a few times… And I can’t quite figure out what software to download if I want to burn the disc to my computer, and I can’t anymore anyway ’cause it’s a school laptop and you can’t download anything. Clart.
December 27th, 2011 03:04
325- “hot guy!” you make me laugh! I guess climbing in suits is better than climbing in dresses… or wearing nothing at all.
December 27th, 2011 03:05
@ 327- HUXLEY CLART! Or Ballast!
December 27th, 2011 03:13
@328. Yeah… But I thought that maybe some regular trousers and a more practical jacket would be more fit for a middy uniform. But I’m not questioning The Man. Have you never seen the “hot guy” expression? It’s kind of an eyebrows lowered, half frown thing that makes you think “Hot!”. Look up Alex Pettyfer and you’ll get the gist.
December 27th, 2011 03:18
@ 330- Have you ever seen Alexander Ludwig? * melts * He’s going to be Cato in the Hunger Games.
December 27th, 2011 03:19
I looked him up… He looks too cute and innocent to be Cato!
December 27th, 2011 03:20
And I call him Aleksander Ludwig. * sigh * I wish that was his real name. * gathers emotions * not like he’s hotter than Newkirk! Pshhh!
December 27th, 2011 03:20
@ 332- Have you SEEN HIM IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS???????????
December 27th, 2011 03:22
@ 333- I mean, come on! Newkirk is BRITISH! * he he he British * Imagine his ACCENT!
December 27th, 2011 03:22
All I did was Google his image… I don’t know how recent any of the pics are. He’s just got one of those disarming puppy dog faces.
December 27th, 2011 03:25
I <3 all foreign accents, especially Scotish and British. Australian's awesome, too.
December 27th, 2011 03:29
@ 336- Go to hungergamesmovie.org and look at the tributes. Let’s just say I’m Team Cato all the way.
@ 337- Accents are AWESOME! I wish I had a cool accent.
December 27th, 2011 03:34
Me too. Gah, all I get is midwestern U.S. At least you get Kentuckish.
December 27th, 2011 03:37
Where do you find pictures of the tributes on said website?
December 27th, 2011 03:39
@ 339- yeah, the dumb hillybilly accent.
* thick Kentucky accent* Yeehaw! We’re havin’ opossum tonight! Opposum and moonshine! Lemme giddy up on my horse and ride to the barn to get my skillet to cook up some grub! Yeehaw!
Like that?
December 27th, 2011 03:42
@ 340- go to hungergamesmovie.org, then type in the search box in the left hand corner “Alexander Ludwig” and a picture of him will be on the second blog post down.
December 27th, 2011 03:43
Yeah, that one…. you made me laugh with that one. Hardcore. Let’s just say the accent us midwesterners are dubbed with is droppin’ the last “g” on everythin’. We also say “Fur” instead of “for”, same with yur.
December 27th, 2011 03:47
@ 343- Stereotypes are so annoying, aren’t they? I actually met some British people yesterday, and when I told them about Kentucky, the woman said “That’s blimey cold!”
Huh. So British people really DO say blimey. I was half expecting her to say “barking”, though.
December 27th, 2011 03:48
@342. Yeah. Puppy dog face. He’s still hot, though, just with cuteness added.
December 27th, 2011 03:48
(Continuing of 338-) I will probably be the only girl in the barking theatre who’s sobbing when Cato dies.
December 27th, 2011 03:50
@344. OH, yes. Stereotypes. *shudders* I hate them with a passion. Meet Melissa, the nerd.
December 27th, 2011 03:52
@346. I’ll cry, too, just for you. Also, that would be the most horrible way to die…
December 27th, 2011 03:54
@ 348- it would be! I probably won’t be able to watch, though.
Is it just me, or do people appear more attractive when they’re in suits and ties? (Alek and Newkirk in ties= ;D)
December 27th, 2011 03:55
I mean I probably won’t be able to watch THAT part.
I feel we’re getting dreadfully off topic.
December 27th, 2011 03:56
Um, and Deryn in a tie, if one were to roll that way. Yes, people are very attractive in a suit and tie.
December 27th, 2011 03:58
@ 351- Umm, yes, I suppose. If one were to go “Lilit”. Jaspert… that would be nice, I suppose. I wonder what he looks like.
December 27th, 2011 03:58
Aye, very dreadfully off topic. How did the conversation even end up this far off? *looks backs at conversation* oh yeah… Hot guy face.
December 27th, 2011 04:02
@ 353- Sorry! I just thought you should know.
December 27th, 2011 04:05
S’okay. I figure Jaspert would look a lot like Deryn, but a squick more guy-like. And older.
December 27th, 2011 04:07
355- Yeah! With SUSPENDERS!
December 27th, 2011 04:07
Sorry. Suspenders are cool. And BOWTIES!
December 27th, 2011 04:10
Oh, yes. Suspenders and bowties= awesome. I know how I’m dressing up for Halloween now!
December 27th, 2011 04:16
Eek! Newkirk is done, and now I just have to finish shading his bike and maybe do a shadow…
December 27th, 2011 04:18
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I AM SO SO SO SO SO SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I”M GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 04:19
@ 358- you will be the coolest crossdresser on the block.
December 27th, 2011 04:21
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. (In not an Elvis accent, but my midwestern accent)
December 27th, 2011 04:35
December 27th, 2011 04:35
“Halo?” she called softly, hoping her Clanker accent was believable. “Ist da jemand?”
December 27th, 2011 04:36
Whenever I get it scanned into my computer and posted onto my blog, which is now called “Barking Spiders”
December 27th, 2011 04:44
I’ll tell you when that is.
December 27th, 2011 04:55
Awesome! Thank you! Sorry, I was eating dinner.
December 27th, 2011 05:04
Hey Scott-la fans!! Do y’all think the song Paradise by coldplay should be in the uglies movie? Yes or no.
December 27th, 2011 05:06
@368. Paradise? Hm… never heard it. I like Coldplay, though.
@367 I’ll be doing the same thing here in a few.
December 27th, 2011 05:13
@368/369 So yes. I trust Coldplay to have a good song worthy of Westerfeld Wonderfulness.
December 27th, 2011 06:25
Ollo! I’m back! Coldplay is AMAZING!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 06:30
@Rachel! It’s up! Please enjoy! You know the drill. Click on my name.
December 27th, 2011 06:30
Hallo! I’m back, too!
December 27th, 2011 06:39
@ 372- Oh. My. Word. OH MY BARKING WORD! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU KNOW HOW INSANE THAT IS????????? OH, OH, OH MY BARKKNG GOODNESS!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 27th, 2011 06:41
Thanks. A lot. I really appreciate someone else’s excitement being greater than my own. It makes my day.
If I knew how insane it was, I’d tell you.
December 27th, 2011 06:47
My sister and I are insanely giggling right now! This is going to be my SCREEN SAVER!!!! I love this!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so so so much!!!!!!! I will be talking about this forever!!!!!!! My COUSIN and my cousin’s friends who live in a different state know that Newkirk is my all time favorite character! !!!!!
You are a
December 27th, 2011 06:48
AWESOME!!!!!!!¡!!
December 27th, 2011 06:53
I am so so so so happy right now that you are enjoying this! I’m smiling like 8D
December 27th, 2011 06:53
You have further fueled my Newkirk obsession.
December 27th, 2011 06:57
I’m glad. And your enthusiasm has fueled mine as well. So, what task will I be set upon next?
December 27th, 2011 07:00
I have no idea! We could launch a whole campaign of Newkirk fan stuffs! Dolls, buttons, pictures, lunch boxes, FACE CAKES!
This is the part where you tell me I’m getting carried away. ;D
December 27th, 2011 07:03
I have no desire to tell you you’re getting carried away. You’re among friends here who accept your obsessions as their own. Because we have them, too!
December 27th, 2011 07:04
Oh, oh, oh! I could make clay models of the characters, take pictures, and send them in to FAF! Yes! (Sorry for the random outburst. These things, they just happen to me sometimes.
)
December 27th, 2011 07:15
HELLO! I sort of lost track of what you guys were talking about, say 50 or 60 comments ago
BUT ANYWAY….
Manga…. Japanese graphic novels, reads right to left, korean version called Manhua/Manwa depending who you ask
Uglies…… Not a comic book, it would be a graphic novel, if it was a comic book they’d probably throw in superman, or J Bond. Also, comic books have issues (like, issue 67, issue 68, etc)
Lissa, how do you send things into FAF?????
December 27th, 2011 07:34
@ 383- The clay characters are awesome! How would you go about doing that, though?
December 27th, 2011 07:42
@385. With clay. I don’t really know, though; I’d just have to experiment for a while, really, as I do a lot of the time, anyway.
@384. See comment 302 for my explanation. And it’s totally okay if you lost track of the conversation. We did too…
December 27th, 2011 08:05
@ 386- we really did, didn’t we? Oh well. It was for a good cause. Our OBSESSIONS!
Now that I think about it… we have a lot.
December 27th, 2011 20:04
@387. Yes, yes we do…
December 27th, 2011 22:47
@311- I don’t even know what that is !
December 27th, 2011 23:07
@ 311- How To Train Your DRAGON!
December 28th, 2011 01:03
Gosh, Lauren, get with the program
December 28th, 2011 02:58
Thanks Lissa, I was mainly asking because the “contact Scott” box wasn’t working on my laptop, sooooooo. Awkward
Wow lauren, you are sort of slow…. but I am too
December 28th, 2011 03:33
It’s okay. Is the “Click here to contact Scott Westerfeld” working now?
December 28th, 2011 03:44
OF COURSE!!! I wouldn’t dare to not work for a ginger! I sent him the poster picture
December 28th, 2011 04:15
Okay, cool. What poster picture? (sorry if I’m being a bit daft about this…)
December 28th, 2011 06:14
@390- Ohhh. Sorry I have missed all of your conversations because I have been at Christmas with my family and have not really had much computer acsess
December 28th, 2011 06:14
I meant access
December 28th, 2011 06:15
@395- the one that he said we could photoshop, right?
December 28th, 2011 06:51
Of course! I saw it and came up with what Deryn would say, so I sort of had to, you know?
December 28th, 2011 07:06
Hey, comment 400!
December 28th, 2011 07:07
YEEES! 3 of the four “hundreds” so far!
December 28th, 2011 07:18
@401- Nice!
December 28th, 2011 07:21
I know, right? I’m so proud… *sniffles with pride*
December 28th, 2011 07:46
@ Lauren, 302
Asa Butterfield rocks
@ Rachel, 310
I finished wonderstruck last week!!! LOVE THAT BOOK!!!!
December 28th, 2011 07:51
@404- he is the best (young) actor. EVER!!! no discussion.
December 28th, 2011 07:54
Yes discussion. Alex Pettyfer is the best (youngish) actor.
*Smiles evilly*
December 28th, 2011 07:58
@404- I haven’t read that book yet (is it on the kindle?) but I really want to. I also didn’t really like the first one that much (I still liked it) because the charecters weren’t that well developed but I’ve that these ones have more depth. But I did LOVE the whole concept witch is why I loved the move. Also about the Asa Butterfield as Alek thing that would be so cool especially since most of his popular mivies have been set during WWII (except a small part in wolfman) so one during WWI shouldn’t be such a stretch.
December 28th, 2011 08:00
Oh come ON!!! First off he is like !@#$% 21! And secondly he is way to perfect to even LOOK AT!
December 28th, 2011 08:01
*Google Asa Butterfield* AWWWWW! He’s so cute!
December 28th, 2011 08:02
I’m comment 409! Yeah!
December 28th, 2011 08:02
I like the kind of guy who looks cute! Not like “I’m so sexy and everybody should love me” which is what that pettyfer dude is like!
December 28th, 2011 08:03
@409- That’s what I said!!!
December 28th, 2011 08:03
Wait you mean Alex P?
December 28th, 2011 08:04
@413- *sharply with passion* YES!
December 28th, 2011 08:04
I think…
December 28th, 2011 08:05
I personally think that pettyfer looks better WITH the beast makeup on.
December 28th, 2011 08:07
Alex and Asa are way far apart. I’m pretty Alex P is 20 now. Hm… But I can’t judge Asa because I’ve never seen his work. I’m sure he’s good though.
@411. He looks like that because it’s true. He is sexy.
December 28th, 2011 08:09
@411- I retract my former statement (the cute people part) I like good-looking guys who have quirky flaws but a golden personality. Like Alek. Ahh Alek.
December 28th, 2011 08:10
@416. GASP!! *headdesk* “I know he looks hot even with the make up on” she sighed, “but really, without it he has so many more acting opportunities. Like Jace, which somehow didn’t happen, even though when you Google him, “Jace Wayland” is a related search…”
*broods in the corner*
December 28th, 2011 08:11
Stay away from Alek! He is DERYN’S!!! You can have Mr. Rigby.
December 28th, 2011 08:11
@417- Actually he will be 22 next April. And plus I like guys with long dark hair.
December 28th, 2011 08:12
@420- WHAT!?!?!?!?!?! I DON’T WANT MR. RIGBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 28th, 2011 08:13
@419- I meant he looks more natural with the makeup on.
December 28th, 2011 08:15
I like Neil Patrick Harris. He has a nice round jaw.
December 28th, 2011 08:16
@424- I realize that that sounded UBER dorky. That did too, didn’t it? But hey, what can I do? I’m a dork at heart!
December 28th, 2011 08:18
Oh, okay. I would say the same, but there’s this really creepy guy at my school with long dark hair who happens to be named Alec (with a “c”). Yes, it’s scary and it tarnishes the name, but I have learned to deal with it for the sake of a great book series.
December 28th, 2011 08:18
@411- Robert Patterson has the same problem.
December 28th, 2011 08:19
@426- Well I didn’t say I like creepy guys with long dark hair. As long as I don’t know anything about they’re personality, I’m good.
December 28th, 2011 08:20
My last comment was @421.
@422. Would you prefer Hoffman or Bauer?
December 28th, 2011 08:23
@426- I used to have (he died when he was like 15
) a great-uncle named Alec. And I have a little (8) cousin that is Alex, but he’s super cute so that’s not a problem. But he is hilarious because he try’s to be this super tough guy (which he sometimes succeeds at) which just makes him that much cuter.
December 28th, 2011 08:25
@429- Well preferably neither but if I had to chose, Bauer.
December 28th, 2011 08:26
@431… Interesting, very interesting…
December 28th, 2011 08:29
@426- Sorta like Blake Michael (even though he’s only, like, seventeen).
December 28th, 2011 08:29
@432- *sceptically* Why…?
December 28th, 2011 08:30
@432- The reason being because we know Bauer better since he was with Alek in Istanbul.
December 28th, 2011 08:39
@434. If I knew, I’d tell you
December 28th, 2011 08:40
@436- I figured it would be something like that.
December 28th, 2011 08:43
Do ya know who the hottest 50′s guy is? Well I’ll tell you; Brian Keith. Look him up on IMBDd
December 28th, 2011 08:43
Argh. I’m going to bed now. I’ve been on the computer all day, and I think I can literally feel how my brain has turned to mush. Barking Clanker contraptions!
Goodnight!
December 28th, 2011 08:44
I meant 60′s…
December 28th, 2011 08:45
See ya tomorrow! (I hope) I’ll probably finish reading the comments from yesterday.
December 28th, 2011 08:51
@343- I have the best accent!! Pacific northwest! We all enunciate properly and only a few of us sometimes say “sorta” and “dunno”.
December 28th, 2011 09:07
I think Alekander Ludwig looks more like a Cato when he was young.
December 28th, 2011 09:08
@ 414
All of my friends love him! So do I!
December 28th, 2011 09:09
@444- I HATE HIM!
December 28th, 2011 09:11
@444- Sorry, not to be discouraging or any thing but I just DON’T LIKE HIM! And I am very passionate.
December 28th, 2011 09:11
Clearly.
December 28th, 2011 09:37
Hey, check out my little cousins blog! http://bossbeast.blogspot.com/
December 28th, 2011 09:44
Sorry about all the spaces, I don’t know whats wrong. :/
December 28th, 2011 11:35
GOOD NIGHT PEEPORONIS!!!!! I WILL SO YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!
December 28th, 2011 11:35
I meant SEE YOU. sorry.
December 28th, 2011 18:40
_@ 404- AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!! WASN’T IT AMAZING??????? I CRIED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE THING!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Lauren 450- who and why will you see someone tomorrow night?
December 28th, 2011 18:40
I meant CrIed. Sorry.
December 28th, 2011 20:18
I drew a Bovril~ http://jett-wolfe98.deviantart.com/art/I-made-you-a-pie-but-I-eated-it-276262270
December 28th, 2011 21:01
@302 (Sorry, the computer was being guarded by snarling wolves and krakens all day yesterday) Thank You!!!!! I have drawn ENDLESS fanart out of sheer boredom.
December 28th, 2011 21:03
@Jett That was an awesome Bovril. *applause*
December 28th, 2011 22:08
@452- Well, (hopefully) you and Lissa because that’s when you/we usually chat, ya know?
December 28th, 2011 22:10
@452- Wow when you said you were a loud reader I didn’t realize you were THAT loud.
December 28th, 2011 22:16
@426- At least he doesn’t look anything like Alek, right?
December 28th, 2011 22:50
@290 thx!!!!!
December 28th, 2011 22:52
@Whoever/whichever said they like HTTYD, well MY favorite animated movie is Despicable Me! I say animated because it doesn’t have Asa Butterfield. He rules.
December 28th, 2011 22:55
So…
December 28th, 2011 23:14
BTW I do like HTTYD too, I just like DM better.
December 29th, 2011 00:09
WAHOO!! I JUST SENT IN A PIECE OF FAN ART!!!!! WISH ME GOOD LUCK!!!!
P.S. I will post it on my blog so you can see it anyway. But I am still hoping it will be on this blog! *crosses fingers*
December 29th, 2011 00:29
My pic is the one with all o the green papers coming out of it!!
December 29th, 2011 00:46
@465- Nice!
December 29th, 2011 02:49
Ya
December 29th, 2011 03:07
Ollo! I’m back!!!!!!!
December 29th, 2011 05:17
Hey, RL!
December 29th, 2011 05:27
Hi I’m Sophie
December 29th, 2011 06:19
Hi. *in sing song voice* Awkward!
December 29th, 2011 06:25
Hi, I’m *thinks of a guy name similar to her own so she can feel more like Deryn* er–Melvin.
December 29th, 2011 06:28
That didn’t work as well as I’d hoped. give me a few minutes to come up with a better name.
December 29th, 2011 06:40
@472- Mine would be Loren
December 29th, 2011 06:40
Which is pretty much as close and Dylan and Deryn.
December 29th, 2011 06:42
How about Miles? Or Malachi? Maxym? Milo? Malcolm? Mitchell?
Please feel free to weigh in your opinion on which name you like best.
December 29th, 2011 06:49
I think Miles is the your best bet. What so you think of my boy name?
December 29th, 2011 06:49
I meant what DO you think
December 29th, 2011 06:50
@474. I think it would be suspiciously close… “Hey, I’m *insert name here*”
“Hollo, I’m Loren.”
“Don’t you have a cousin names Lauren?”
“Yes. It’s -er-quite a… coincidence?”
And then you would be discovered and you’d never meet your prince aboard an airship while he saves you from the horrible fate of a frostbitten bum.
December 29th, 2011 06:59
I definitely agree with my guy name being Miles. My sister says she likes Melvin, but it’s not BS (Barking Spiders, you ninny!) for my guy name. I’ll be all like:
“Middy Miles Molloy, at your service, sir!”
“Quite a mouthful you’ve got there.”
“Aye, it’s all the barking alliteration.”
“Welcome aboard the Leviathan, then.”
December 29th, 2011 07:09
You could be Lonnie! Or Lance! I like Lance, it’s a BS name.
@477 did you know Miles means soldier!?
December 29th, 2011 07:13
Lance means land, which would be kind of ironic on an airship, but you could make it work.
December 29th, 2011 07:16
I agree Loren would be too conspicuous maybe Lance. I still like Miles. BTW How do you know what Lance and Miles mean?
December 29th, 2011 07:18
I”m just smart like that.
JK, I actually went to a baby names website and found the names, and when you put your cursor on the name it gives you meaning and origin.
December 29th, 2011 07:18
But I just remembered, there is this weird kid named Lance (thankfully I don’t have many classes with him) at my school so I will have to think of another.
December 29th, 2011 07:19
@484- Cool. What does JK mean? (I’m not very good with that kind of “Lingo”)
December 29th, 2011 07:21
What about Lorent? It means Laurel
December 29th, 2011 07:22
Or Laurie (also Laurel)
December 29th, 2011 07:24
I really like Li. It means pretty/powerful; Piper from the heroes of Olympus should change her name to Li.
December 29th, 2011 07:25
Oh, darn. How about Layne(That’s an English name, BTW)? Or Levi? Leonard? Luther (Also English)?
December 29th, 2011 07:27
@486 it means “Just Kidding”
@489 Li sounds very Asian, and I’m not sure it would work unless you were. If you are, then great.
December 29th, 2011 07:27
I like Levi.
December 29th, 2011 07:28
Levi means joined in harmony! Just like Deryn and Alek! AWWWW! They are SO meant for each other!
December 29th, 2011 07:29
@491- It’s Hawaiian.
December 29th, 2011 07:30
Cool.
“Hullo, Middy Miles Molloy of His Majesty’s ship Leviathan. You are?”
December 29th, 2011 07:30
@491- Plus Li is a girls name.
December 29th, 2011 07:31
“I am Middy Levi Wittkopf at your service.”
December 29th, 2011 07:32
Oh, okay. Definitely NOT Li, then. So Levi it is? It means “Joined in harmony” and it’s Hebrew.
December 29th, 2011 07:33
“Welcome aboard, Wittkopf.”
*Chuckles and mutters* “sounds a bit like dummkopf…
December 29th, 2011 07:33
BTW My last name means the opposite of duumkopf (dumb-head). Smart- head. Yeah…
December 29th, 2011 07:33
Hey, comment 500!
December 29th, 2011 07:34
@499- HEY 500!!!
December 29th, 2011 07:34
The @499 thing was a mess up.
December 29th, 2011 07:34
NOOOO! How embarrassing that I said that and it wasn’t actually 500… you stole my comment and tarnished my record, Levi! How barking dare you!
December 29th, 2011 07:35
Sorry! I didn’t realize!
December 29th, 2011 07:38
Hey, where’s Rachel?
December 29th, 2011 07:38
Aye, of course you didn’t. “Get to work, Wittkopf! You can dawdle when your dead!” (Oh, Mr. Rigby…) “You, too, Molloy!”
December 29th, 2011 07:41
Like Libba (girls) it means God is my oath! Unfortunately it is not foreign (American
)
December 29th, 2011 07:41
“I’m on it sir”
December 29th, 2011 07:42
@506. You mean Middy Ronnie?
December 29th, 2011 07:42
@510- Sure.
December 29th, 2011 07:45
Hey, I think it works. It’s English and it means Counsel Rule.
December 29th, 2011 07:47
Oh yeah! Did you see my fan art?
December 29th, 2011 07:47
@512- Cool.
December 29th, 2011 07:48
It’s on my blog.
December 29th, 2011 07:50
I also sent to FanArt in to Mr. Westerfeld.
December 29th, 2011 07:50
Anyone there?!
December 29th, 2011 07:51
I have now. It made me laugh a bit.
I just read that scene in Goliath today (again) so I totally know what was going on. Herculean inundation…
Did you see my FanArt of Newkirk?
December 29th, 2011 07:52
Thanks and yes.
December 29th, 2011 07:53
The Newkirk was very good, but i still would have preferred Alek. Wait, scratch that, I am perfectly happy imagining him.
December 29th, 2011 08:00
*Sighs* Thanks. Imagine in your free time, Wittskopf! Go feed the flechette bats.
December 29th, 2011 08:04
Kay. And BTW it is WITTKOPF note no s’s.
December 29th, 2011 08:05
Oops. Sorry. WITTKOPF
December 29th, 2011 08:08
S’okay.
December 29th, 2011 08:10
I should have been more considerate of getting your name right, Levi, because people get my name wrong all the barking time.
December 29th, 2011 08:25
Really? Molloy right?
December 29th, 2011 08:26
Although I regret to say I had to check the spelling *looks sheepish*
December 29th, 2011 08:31
Yeah, Molloy. I get stuff like Malloy, Mallory, Molly, etc.
December 29th, 2011 08:40
Yeah… that would be crazy… *looks away*
December 29th, 2011 08:52
My name is a bit easier because it is so barking weird that people give me a strange look and request spelling (unless, of course, they speak German in which case they simply smile and proceed).
December 29th, 2011 08:55
I’m turning in for the night. It’s already 10:30, or just about. Barking spiders, I’m up late recently…
December 29th, 2011 08:57
Here it’s only 8:30. Good night middy Miles Molloy!
December 29th, 2011 09:28
So Wacha talkin about?
December 29th, 2011 09:29
I’m here now
December 29th, 2011 09:47
Wait I found out,skill…(I read the covo)
December 29th, 2011 09:55
I’m only on Behemoth
December 29th, 2011 19:00
Gasp! You’re only one Behemoth?! Wait, first or second time? I’m reading Goliath for the second time (Already reread the first two) is why I’m asking.
December 29th, 2011 19:51
@ 537– I’ve read Goliath seven times.
And what would be a good boys’ name for me?
(Oh, and Newkirk and I are SO meant to be together! I shipped our names together, and it’s RAKIRK! Isn’t that awesome?! Teehee!!!!)
December 29th, 2011 19:54
Oh, Hullo, Middy Ronnie.
December 29th, 2011 19:54
@ Sophie-la (536) THEN WHY DID YOU READ THE BONUS CHAPTER!!! THAT RUINS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! Except, you know, the ending. Because I wanted it to happen so much I was expecting it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I didn’t expect it to end quite so beautifully. * dries single tear running down cheek *
December 29th, 2011 19:55
Levi and I decided for you last night. Middy Miles Molloy of His Majesty’s Ship Leviathan. Welcome aboard!
December 29th, 2011 19:55
RONNIE!!!!!!! I love that!!!!!!!! Or Rory, which is also a reference to my favorote character from Dr. Who.
December 29th, 2011 19:57
541- But I’m a Clanker! Eh, it’s okay. I’ll be a Darwinist for the day.
December 29th, 2011 19:58
See comment 512 for more information on your guy’s name. Mine’s also English, and it means “Soldier”
December 29th, 2011 19:59
You can still visit us on the Leviathan as a Clanker. It’s been done before…
December 29th, 2011 20:01
@ 544- Ooh, Ronnie sounds official. When my alternate boy self grows up and wins the war, he’ll probably run for Prime Minister or a seat in Parliament.
December 29th, 2011 20:01
Oh, hey, I posted 2 story shuffles on my blog just now! Read them and review, please.
December 29th, 2011 20:02
@ 545- yes! And the whole RAKIRK love thing works better with the audience if it is forbidden.
December 29th, 2011 20:05
Yes, it does. I think I know how you fit into my fanfic now… sort of.
December 29th, 2011 20:09
@ 549- YAY!!!!!!!!! I tried to comment on your blog under “Open ID” and I typed my name in, so you’d know who I was, but it didn’t let me comment. I don’t have any of those other accounts, so I don’t know how to comment on your blog. And I wrote the first chapter of my fanfic last night!
December 29th, 2011 20:12
You did??? What happened?
December 29th, 2011 20:19
I wrote it on my kindle fire, and so far I’m working on chapter two.
December 29th, 2011 20:23
@ 551- Wait, were you talking about the fabric or your blot?
Q
December 29th, 2011 20:24
I meant FANFIC!D ARN YOU AUTO CORRECT SPELLING!!!!!¡
December 29th, 2011 20:25
And I meant blog. Btw. Sorry.
December 29th, 2011 20:26
555! Yes!
December 29th, 2011 21:13
I was talking about your FanFic. I have to go. Bye!
December 29th, 2011 21:26
Bye Lissa! Have a good day! Or night…
December 29th, 2011 22:22
Hey Ronnie (Are you a middy? I’m confused.)
December 29th, 2011 22:23
@558 I think for her it’s about 12:00 o’clock.
December 29th, 2011 22:24
BTW, Ronnie where were you last night?!?
December 29th, 2011 22:41
I didn’t read the bonus chapter,yet. And I’m only reading it for the first time. I’m a HUGE uglies fan but I love these too!!
December 29th, 2011 23:04
Right now for me it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. I’m back, by the way.
@599 I don’t think (s)he’s a middy, what with being a Clanker and all. Maybe an engineer…
December 29th, 2011 23:16
OMG Lissa your fanfic WAS SOOOOOO AWESOME!!! I am about to di the same thing!!!! Except mine are going to be about Newkirk.
December 29th, 2011 23:17
@563- Okay. And BTW I meant DO the same thing
December 29th, 2011 23:18
Plus I will be writing mine to Haven’t Had Enough by Marianas Trench (this is a AWESOME song.)
December 29th, 2011 23:57
Sounds interesting, even though I’ve never heard the song. Thanks for the compliment, by the way. You may be interested in a few more story shuffles, then? Or even my whole fanfic, which so far has the better part of 18 pages? Yes, I am that obsessed with Leviathan.
December 30th, 2011 00:00
@567- TOTALLY!! BTW my story shuffle is on my blog. I wrote it especially for Rachel. It’s rather funny (I hope).
December 30th, 2011 00:07
@568. I read your story shuffle and it made me laugh. I wonder how Ronnie will react to her Singe crushing on Barlow… I want to be here when that happens, so badly. I liked it a lot, by the way.
December 30th, 2011 00:09
So, I have a second blog now, specifically for writing stuff, so I will change the link on my name to it. Which do you want first, by the way, more shuffles or a bit of FanFic?
December 30th, 2011 00:20
I’m going to go with some more shuffles, since I have some stuff to fix in the first part of my fanfic to make it more… Leviathan-esque.
December 30th, 2011 00:21
@545- Mine means “Joined in harmony” J
December 30th, 2011 00:22
@569- Thanks! Since I wrote that I have been think about what her reaction might be.
December 30th, 2011 00:24
@571- Good. I like shuffles.
@570- I will probably make a writing blog too.
December 30th, 2011 00:24
Sorry gotta go my sis is begging me to.
December 30th, 2011 00:25
They’re up! Just click on my name…
December 30th, 2011 00:26
Do you write a lot, too, Levi?
December 30th, 2011 00:33
@577- Now I will! (now that I have discovered fanfic)
December 30th, 2011 00:39
I like the shuffles (god’s wounds there is a lot of them!) but in the 3rd to last on they didn’t seem like the Dalek we know and love.
December 30th, 2011 00:44
The one with Newkirk? Yeah, on that one I really didn’t have a good idea, and there wasn’t a point to it or anything. Sorry.
December 30th, 2011 00:45
@580- Wait, no the 5th to last one.
December 30th, 2011 00:48
Oh, yeah. On that one I was really trying to fit the song.
December 30th, 2011 00:49
BTW I have made a writing blog! The link is on my name.
December 30th, 2011 00:49
@582- Yeah, I get it.
December 30th, 2011 00:49
@579. I guess there are a lot… I hadn’t realized… 10…
December 30th, 2011 00:50
@584- Uh… YEAH!
December 30th, 2011 00:51
I will have to write more. Unfortunately I have to listen on YouTube because I don’t have a iPod.
December 30th, 2011 00:51
Bye!
December 30th, 2011 00:52
Bye, Levi!
December 30th, 2011 00:56
they should so make a movie out of these books. check that, three movies.
but they could make an AWESOME movie if they did them well, but they could also make a really bad one. like the golden compass, that could have been really good but it was really bad. :’(
oh, and they have to make Alek super cute or i’ll curl up in a corner for the rest of my life
December 30th, 2011 01:17
“Ass- Hat Magic Spider”? What an intriguing title, Mr. Westerfeld. Makes me want to know more…
590 comments?! I don’t think any entry on here, not even The Bonus Chapter (and companion illustration) or the April Fools Day illustration, has ever gotten this many responses. A good entry, no doubt, but what exactly is the signifigance of THIS post which warrents that many comments?
And yes, chickengirl!, I agree heartily; they SHOULD make three movies out of the Leviathan series, provided they cast Christoph Waltz as Count Volger.
December 30th, 2011 01:22
Also, about a Leviathan movie: good luck finding an actor about Alek’s age who’s bi-lingual AND at least a decent actor, who also looks like him. Same thing with Deryn too.
December 30th, 2011 01:53
@591 Actually, when he first announced he was writing an authorfic and opened the comments up for voting, that got over 1,200 comments, some of them mine
What makes this FAF so important, you ask? Because my art got posted, of course.
Just kidding, although it makes me really happy that it did, and I like to pretend that’s the reason. Truth is, a few of us like to use the comments for chatting. About totally relevant stuff of course…
December 30th, 2011 02:27
@591- Because the Alek and Singe fan club meet here so most of those comments are our comments.
December 30th, 2011 02:29
@593- They would probably only find a one-lingual actor and then find a multi-lingual person to do voice-overs.
December 30th, 2011 03:41
Or teach the one-lingual guy to say his German lines…
December 30th, 2011 04:04
@ 561- Sorry, I didn’t have any Internet connection.
December 30th, 2011 04:06
I am reading like crazy! The series is so good
but I still like uglies just a wee bit more (crazy right?!) my fav is Specials
December 30th, 2011 04:06
@ 564 let me say his plainly, so your daft mind can get this through clearly. Newkirk. Is
Mine.
December 30th, 2011 04:07
598/ Leviathan. Is SO MUCH BETTER THAN UGLIES!!!!!!!! I COULDN’T GET THROUGH THE FIRST PAGE OF UGLIES!!!!!!!!!
December 30th, 2011 04:21
Hah hah hah to all you (Lissa and Lauren) people who joked about Newkirk’s love for Barlow. Actually, it is a plausible idea, since we never know what really is going on in that daft head of his. But Newkirk is STILL. MINE. SERIOUSLY. It pains me that you enjoy making Newkirk CHEAT on me for an old woman! (I admire the Doctor, but when she steps in the way of my man, the line is drawn.) Newkirk is MINE. End of story.
December 30th, 2011 04:22
@ 600- not that I’m questioning the Master’s work, but I find Leviathan so much…. better than Uglies. Of course, I’m biased, so my opinion only matters to those who agree with me.
December 30th, 2011 04:24
Sorry Lissa, I got 600. Serves you right because of that Newkirk fanfic! Revenge is so sweet, my dear.
December 30th, 2011 04:35
@601- Hey I never said the dude has always been in love with her! Maybe I will rwrite more about Mr. Eugene Newkirk tangled love life… But right now I have to story shuffle about Lilit.
@603- I got 500.
December 30th, 2011 04:36
Oh, so when I’m here YOU GUYS DECIDE TO LEAVE???????????????
December 30th, 2011 04:36
@603- I wrote that fanfic, NOT Lissa
December 30th, 2011 04:37
(First of all, this is Lissa changed her name to Middy Miles)
@603. First Levi with 500, and now you, Ronnie with 600! How. Dare. You. And it wasn’t even my Newkirk fanfic! I just said it made me laugh! So it does not, in fact, serve me right. It serves me wrong! *sniffles*
December 30th, 2011 04:38
@600- I traded one of my copies of Goliath for Uglies and I have read the sample on my kindle and it seems moderately good, but the midnighters series looks totally LAME!
December 30th, 2011 04:39
@605- NO! I’m still here!
December 30th, 2011 04:39
It made me laugh as well. But a sad laugh.
December 30th, 2011 04:39
@Rachel- I will be back in a few, I have some fanfic to write.
December 30th, 2011 04:40
Hello Lauren. * looks away with tearful eyes *
December 30th, 2011 04:40
I finished chapter 2 of my fanfic today!
December 30th, 2011 04:41
@610- That was the intention. Somebody (me, you or Lissa) should write some fanfic involving Middy Ronnie and his/her friend Eugene…
December 30th, 2011 04:42
@613- I mostly read and write story shuffles. no long Fanfic’s yet.
December 30th, 2011 04:45
Come stop your crying, it’ll be alright… Tarzan, anyone?
@608. I wouldn’t dis Scott’s books on his own website if I were you… it could have… consequences *shudders*
December 30th, 2011 04:46
@ 614- my sister was eating doritos when she read the Newkirk fanfic, and she started choking! She said “Something is wrong with that boy.”
Yes, yes someone should. But not me, since that would be too concieted. I think that’s the word I want to use.
December 30th, 2011 04:48
@ 616- my mom’s favorite movie. I am not dissing his books. Besides, I am going to read Uglies so I can get obsessed and excited over the manga. Because Leviathan is over. Forever.
December 30th, 2011 04:50
@610 I’m writing a fanfic with Eugene and Ronnie! Not middy Ronnie, Clanker engineer Ronnie hiding in the Kjolen mountains in Norway! It’s epic…
December 30th, 2011 04:51
@ 619- OH MY WORD THAT SOUNDS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if it didn’t have Ronnie in it, I’d still read it. Because it does sound epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 30th, 2011 04:52
@618 I was saying Lauren was dissing his books by saying Midnighters sounded lame. What did you think I was talking about?
December 30th, 2011 04:53
@620. Except that Alek got shot in the arm and Mr. Rigby got killed and Newkirk has a scar on his face…
December 30th, 2011 04:54
@616- I AM SORRY!!!
December 30th, 2011 04:55
@623. Mmmhmm. Yes you are…
December 30th, 2011 04:56
@619- Awesome! I am in the prosess of writing a Lilit fanfic.
December 30th, 2011 04:56
@ 619- Actually, my great grandmother is indeed from Norway. Her name was Gunda. Her parents were actually born and raised in Norway, but they moved to America and Gunda was born there. I think it was in Iowa, if I’m not mistaken. Her parents changed their last name to Newfoundland, because they were moving to a new land. I even have a picture of her and my great grandfather on their weddding day!
December 30th, 2011 04:56
To the song cross my heart by Marianas Trench
December 30th, 2011 04:57
@626- cool.
December 30th, 2011 04:57
@ 622- He, Newkirk sounds like a male Hester, or Doge from the Looking Glass Wars. I think he’d look better with scars on his face.
December 30th, 2011 04:58
@629- I thought of Dustfinger
December 30th, 2011 04:58
@ 630- yeah, the guy with the flame powers! Then he’d literally be hot.
December 30th, 2011 05:00
Whoa, great grandmother from Norway? And something about Iowa… Cool!
Cool name, Levi
December 30th, 2011 05:01
I’m sorry Peoplez but I like Uglies better……this series is good too,Midnighters is way better than it looks!
December 30th, 2011 05:01
@631. I am so confused… No idea what you’re talking about.
December 30th, 2011 05:04
@633. Oh, Sophie-la, how naive you are. Leviathan is the best book trilogy since… well, since forever, really.
December 30th, 2011 05:04
@ 634- I believe he is from Inkheart. I haven’t read the book, but only seen the movie.
December 30th, 2011 05:08
@631- I love Dustfinger! He is AWESOME!!! When I first saw that movie I kept rubbing my hands together and then blowing on them.
December 30th, 2011 05:08
Oh, okay. Never read Inkheart, and I’m not sure on the movie… Is that the one where the girl reads out loud and the characters come out of the book? If so, I think I’ve seen part…
December 30th, 2011 05:10
@ 638- Yes! It is! If only she read Leviathan! Ht when she read it, a book character comes out, and a person from the real world goes in. I wouldn’t care if I came in or Newkirk came out! As long as we were on the same side….
December 30th, 2011 05:10
I meant BUT when she read it….
December 30th, 2011 05:10
@636- Yes he is. I have read all the books. The best part is when Mo and Dustfinger die! and the second best part is when Meggie realizes she loves the Indian kid (I forgot his name) and the worst part is when she falls in love with Doria (curse that Clanker!).
December 30th, 2011 05:11
@ 641- Okay,t hat was never like that in the movie. I NEED to read the books now!
December 30th, 2011 05:11
BTW I posted my Lilit story on my writing blog (name).
December 30th, 2011 05:12
@642- Those parts are only in the books (there are three of them).
December 30th, 2011 05:14
Bye guys! I have to get ready to go to a fancy dinner.
maybe I’ll be back on soon.
December 30th, 2011 05:15
@ 645- k, have fun! Eat some turducken for me!
December 30th, 2011 05:20
@ 646- I have never eaten turducken, because it sounds gross, but it’s fun to say. Turducken. Turducken. Turducken. Say it five times fast!
December 30th, 2011 05:24
TERDUCKEN!!!! I just watched that episode of Glee!
December 30th, 2011 05:24
BTW chapter one is up on my blog now.
December 30th, 2011 05:30
@ 649- I’m going to read it NOW!
December 30th, 2011 05:34
Yay… come back when your done!
December 30th, 2011 05:37
OH MY BARKIN WORD!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING!! AHH!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I TEEHEED LIKE A FANGIRL!!!!!!!!!!! and I only do that with Scott’s books, mind you. That was extraordinary!!!!!!!!! It was perfectly innocent and witty. * sigh * was that after the New Year’s party?
December 30th, 2011 05:41
I actually wrote the majority of what has happened in the 17 pages so far before the New Year’s Eve party, as you will soon find out. My art that got posted on this very FAF kind of goes along with it.
December 30th, 2011 05:41
I LOVED IT!!! Look on my comment for more.
December 30th, 2011 05:42
KEEP. GOING. When can you post chapter 2???????????????
December 30th, 2011 05:42
I meant the comment on your blog
December 30th, 2011 05:43
Yeah!!! I should start writing a fanfis sometime but I think I need a bit more practice with the characters using story shuffles first.
December 30th, 2011 05:43
I meant fanFIC.
December 30th, 2011 05:48
659! Hurry Lissa! Get 700!
December 30th, 2011 05:50
@655. Technically, I could post it at any time, considering that I’m already done with it and several other chapters.
@657. I agree. Writing story shuffles really gives you a feel for characters, because my fanfic would’ve been an epic fail if I hadn’t done those…10, wasn’t it?… shuffles. The more familiar you are with them, the better!
December 30th, 2011 05:50
@Lissa- I fixed the typo’s in my story’s.
BTW Rachel have you seen my writing blog?
December 30th, 2011 05:52
@660- I think that is a problem in my writing; I don’t know the characters well enough myself so the actual writing turns into a big confusing mess.
December 30th, 2011 05:52
@661. Cool! Thanks for listening, by the way. It just makes it look so much more professional that way. Not to mention longer…
December 30th, 2011 05:52
@659- Sorry. I’m such a dummkopf. I thought I was 699!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 30th, 2011 05:55
@ 661- yes, I did. I gotta go! Bye!
December 30th, 2011 05:55
@662. Practice makes better, Levi! I’ve been trying to write off and on for the last… 3 or so years, maybe more, and I’m still dreadful at it compared to my sister, who is epically amazing at writing but refuses to read Leviathan… which makes me sad because I want her to write fanfics so I can read them!
December 30th, 2011 05:57
Haha that’s funny! Get exited over the manga!!!!! I sure am!! It is awesome can’t wait!!!
December 30th, 2011 05:57
@663- Thank YOU! I thought there was something wrong with it but I couldn’t figure out what, also I probably wouldn’t have been told about that if it wasn’t for you; I don’t have a teacher in writing except for my journalism class and there’s no dialogue in a newspaper article.
December 30th, 2011 05:58
Bye, Rachel/Ronnie!
December 30th, 2011 05:59
@666-Me too, except I am usually too lazy to write but now I have some serious fanfic to writ so now I will probably write LOT more.
December 30th, 2011 06:00
Whaaat? You get a journalism class? The only writing class offered at my school is…um… I’m not sure there is one. Especially not for a lowly freshman.
December 30th, 2011 06:00
BYE!!! Ronnie!
December 30th, 2011 06:00
It is only the beggining of uglies!! There is gonna be a manga so that means its awesome! Am I right or am I right?!(in right) Shay-la rocks!! But I still like Tally-wa more she is icier most of the time……..but Shay-la is icy too……If y’all know what I mean!
December 30th, 2011 06:00
Bye Ronnie!
December 30th, 2011 06:01
@673- I honestly have NO idea what you mean.
December 30th, 2011 06:01
Bye for a few! Like, about 20 minutes, tops. I hope…
December 30th, 2011 06:02
Wait I mean it not in
December 30th, 2011 06:04
The series is so good!!!(uglies) leviathan is a good series too! I love this one to!!!!
December 30th, 2011 06:05
Wait! One more comment before I leave! I do know what you mean when you say Tally-was is icier. I have read the Uglies trilogy and companion novel.
December 30th, 2011 06:07
But Deryn is the iciest, considering her close encounter with a frost-bitten bum and all. *chuckles* Okay, now I’m done.
December 30th, 2011 06:10
@680- I have no idea whether or not Tally is icy but I do know that that pun was so lame it was AWESOME!
December 30th, 2011 06:15
@680
haha nice pun *looks away cause I hate puns*
December 30th, 2011 06:16
You go Middy Miles!! I love the series!
December 30th, 2011 06:19
@683- Just in case you didn’t know, Middy Miles is really Melissa a.k.a Lissa a.k.a. Miss Lissa
December 30th, 2011 06:44
Hey guys (I don’t know if you know) Scott-la posted a new post! comment on that one.
December 30th, 2011 07:13
Okay
December 30th, 2011 07:43
I know it gets confusing, but it would be even more barking complicated to be Deryn. Yeesh, the stuff she does…
December 30th, 2011 07:44
IKR
December 30th, 2011 08:17
@ 680- ha ha! I so get it!
December 30th, 2011 08:19
Okay so what did Scott post because on my screen al it is is a black box.
December 30th, 2011 08:30
is this the new cover or a new book?!?!?!
December 30th, 2011 08:30
he posted a video a music thingy saying that steam punk is the new trendy thing it was barking funny
December 30th, 2011 09:05
@691
What?
December 30th, 2011 19:07
Ollo! I’m back!
December 30th, 2011 19:12
You are???? So am I!
December 30th, 2011 19:21
It seems you aren’t…
December 30th, 2011 19:22
Oh, well, i shall then take this time to post random comments so I shall then get #600.
December 30th, 2011 19:22
Not Levi/ Lauren!
December 30th, 2011 19:23
Nor Rachel/Ronnie!
December 30th, 2011 19:23
But me.
Hey, comment 600!
December 30th, 2011 19:23
Oops. Err. 700 I meant. Barking spiders!
December 30th, 2011 19:25
Hi Middy Miles!!!
December 30th, 2011 19:26
Sorry! I was posting three comments under Just Glue Some Gears on It”.
December 30th, 2011 19:31
Now it appears that I am the only one here.
December 30th, 2011 19:38
Not so fast, there, Ronnie! I was just rereading some comments…
December 30th, 2011 19:44
December 30th, 2011 19:45
I was writing.
December 30th, 2011 19:47
Oh, okay. Writing what??? (That means “Details, please!”!)
December 30th, 2011 19:49
Fanfiction!!!! It’s actually a lot funner than I expected it to be. I can understand why Scott became an author.
December 30th, 2011 19:52
I rewrite chapters from books from a different POV
December 30th, 2011 19:56
Interesting, very interesting… Of course writing is fun! You know, unless your characters take over and you have no choice whatsoever as to what they do. Not, of course, that that ever happens to me, because that would just be crazy… Psch! *looks away*
December 30th, 2011 19:56
@ 710- wow! That’s a good idea! I’ve always wondered what was going through certain people’s minds during very intense moments of books. * cough cough like Deryn’s POV on that stormy night on th Leviathan’s topside *I’ve wondered what the.entire Leviathan trilogy would be like if it dre from Newkirk’s point ofview.
December 30th, 2011 19:57

December 30th, 2011 19:58
Oops. Sorry. I posted the same comment twice. Sorry about the spelling errors. I don’t really like touch key boards.
December 30th, 2011 20:00
Chapter 2 is up!!!
December 30th, 2011 20:01
@ 711- it’s weird how they control it, you know? It’s like you have all these different possibilities that could happen, but somehow your character chooses one of them, and it all goes from there. It’s like you’re there, as well, but you aren’t the one making the descisions for your characters. It’s hard to explain.
December 30th, 2011 20:04
@716 Aye, I do know. But my barking sister knows it more. SHE’s the one who writes like crazy; I’m just a sideshow compared to her… and her illustrator
December 30th, 2011 20:08
715- EEEEEEEP!!!!¡!!!¡!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!¡! OH THAT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!¡!!!!¡! I started cracking up when Alek frowned at the size of his ears!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¡ I’m sorry, but I have to go for alittlee bit! I’ll be back later! Bye!
December 30th, 2011 20:11
Okay, bye!
December 30th, 2011 20:13
Bye
December 31st, 2011 00:32
Ollo! I have returned!
December 31st, 2011 00:53
Hello!
December 31st, 2011 01:41
where is everybody?
December 31st, 2011 02:07
I’m here, again.
December 31st, 2011 02:15
Sorry. 724 was me. I just forgot to change my name.
December 31st, 2011 03:34
Yay
December 31st, 2011 05:10
So…..
December 31st, 2011 05:50
@ Lissa & Lauren – where are you?????????????????
December 31st, 2011 07:02
I just want people to talk to
December 31st, 2011 07:17
Me too! So how does Leviathan match up to Uglies?
December 31st, 2011 07:28
Is anyone still there????
December 31st, 2011 07:29
Sorry I was gone all day, I had other stuff going on…
December 31st, 2011 07:35
Yep, I’m here.
December 31st, 2011 07:37
Alrighty! Now if only Levi were here, we’d have a full attendance to the meeting of the Singe-Alek Fan Club.
December 31st, 2011 07:38
I’m here
December 31st, 2011 07:39
She was posting under “A Musical Interlude” a while ago.
December 31st, 2011 07:40
Hola Sophie! Would you like to join our meeting? Are you team Alek or Team Singe?
December 31st, 2011 07:40
Are you part of the Fan Club now, too? And I assume “Sorley” is your guy name…
December 31st, 2011 07:47
I do believe she is…
December 31st, 2011 07:47
Hey, 3 & 4 are up on my blog now!
December 31st, 2011 07:54
@ 740- * KAPLOOSH!!!!!* that was my mind being blown bythe awesomeness of that. * pulls out water gun and shakes it menacingly at you * Write. More.
December 31st, 2011 07:57
Oh, I assure you, I have already written more. When I choose to post it, however, is what you should be worried about. *Smiles evilly*
December 31st, 2011 07:59
@ 742- do not make me go Newkirk fan girl on you. It gets ugly. * he he Uglies reference! Even bough I’ve never read the books! Okay I’m done with my references *
December 31st, 2011 08:08
@743 *giggles with malice and general funniness* I liked the reference, by the way. It was pretty good for not having read them. Of course, since I have, I could also say… SpagBol!!! Gasp, did she really just say that??? Oh, yes. I did. But you don’t get it because you haven’t read them. Sophie-la, now she’ll understand.
December 31st, 2011 08:09
I’m alone again.
December 31st, 2011 08:12
No you’re not…
December 31st, 2011 08:12
@744- I understand!!and sure I will
Join the meeting yup Sorley is my boy name…..I’m team Alek
December 31st, 2011 08:12
Actually, I’ll never be alone. Because I have Newkirk.
;D
December 31st, 2011 08:14
Even though I has never had it….Spagbol sounds disgusting,every time it is mentioned in the series I picture it the way Tally-wa does,let me tell ya not pretty!
December 31st, 2011 08:14
I’m a pretty extra special ugly
December 31st, 2011 08:15
@ 747- his green eyes have BLINDED you from the pure awesomeness of Newkirk.
Alek: Three.
Newkirk: One.
I guess that’s a good thing, so that way I won’t have to get in a cat fight with anyone over Newkirk.
December 31st, 2011 08:15
Sure you do. According to Levi, Newkirk likes both Adela and Dr. Barlow…
December 31st, 2011 08:17
@ 749- okay, so a quick question: what is up with the wa’s and la’s? ( if it is a spolier do NOT tell me! But go ahead and tell me.)
December 31st, 2011 08:17
@751. Actually, I’m team Mr. Rigby. JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS ARE… UM… SOMETHING!!!!
But seriously, I’m team Fitzroy.
December 31st, 2011 08:19
@ 752- * takes deep breaths * yes, but she is also an Alek fan so it shows how much she knows.
Oh yeah, I went there.
No offense to Laure. But it’s the truth.
December 31st, 2011 08:20
@ 754- oddly enough, so is my sister.
December 31st, 2011 08:29
It’s interesting to know that the comment I posted was at 756.
December 31st, 2011 08:30
Interesting… Fitzroy is a dummkopf, though! I don’t know what “Team” I am. Team Deryn, I guess, but not in THAT way. Just by way of awesome, she totally wins.
December 31st, 2011 08:31
@753-it’s just a fad in pretties(feel free to correct me,I don’t think I will need it though)
December 31st, 2011 08:34
@ 758- If Fitzroy stayed on the ship, he would’ve been the first to find out Deryn’s secret.
December 31st, 2011 08:36
@760. I KNOW!!! and it would’ve been sad, hardcore. Just think, Ronnie, you would never have known Newkirk so well…
December 31st, 2011 08:41
@ 761- why wouldn’t I have known Newkirk better? Oh yeah. He would’ve left the Leviathan in the first book. * sobs * Newkirk would’ve left me before he had even gotten the chance to meet me! Well, he never really did. It’s more of a one side relationship. But I know if he met me he wouldn’t leave me! I just know it!
December 31st, 2011 08:50
Mmhmm. I see… *dials number for looney bin* Hi. I’d like to admit two crazy teens, please. *Pause* Yes, me and this Kentuckish girl. *Pause* No, this is NOT a prank call! We really are insane. *Pause* Hello? Did you just hang up on me? *Sighs* You try to get yourself help, but no one has enough faith in humanity to believe I would try to make myself better. Oh, well.
Night, ladies/gents! It’s 10:20 here, so I’m calling it quits!
December 31st, 2011 08:56
It’s 11:23 here in KY! Good night, Miles! If we tell the docs of our obsessions, then they’ll tell us to stop them! Do. You. Know. How. Hard. It. Would. Be. For. Me. To. Live. Without. Leviathan?
Yes, I’m sure you can hear the pain in my plethora of punctuation.
“How… alliterative. ” ~ Alek.
December 31st, 2011 08:58
Good night everyone! As a Kentuckian, it’s time for me to hit the hay!
December 31st, 2011 09:20
Gnight peeps!
December 31st, 2011 10:17
Is everyone gone?!?
December 31st, 2011 10:19
I’ll assume so… *cries in corner* I have been writing this whole time!!! *weeps loudly* WHY!!!!
December 31st, 2011 10:21
@712- It would be an immensely boring tragedy and a insult to books everywhere.
December 31st, 2011 10:22
I meant 713
December 31st, 2011 10:25
@743- You should have said “I don’t want to hurt you, but I will if I have to”
December 31st, 2011 10:25
@747- YEAH!!!! ALEK RULES!!!!!!
December 31st, 2011 10:29
@757- Actually, first he was in love with Barlow and now he is in love with Adela. BTW remember when you said he is falling in love with every woman on the ship? Well he already has.
December 31st, 2011 10:31
@758- Who the hay stacks is Fitzroy?!?!
December 31st, 2011 10:36
I hate doing this. Missing out on a meeting and then responding to all the comments. Trust me. It. Sucks.
December 31st, 2011 10:37
@774- Now I remember who Fritzroy is. He’s that little bum-rag brat middy, right?
December 31st, 2011 10:39
Btw, guys I posted the first chapter of Lissa and her mall on my story blog (name) It is super short and I will soon post chapter 2 (it needs a little refining)
December 31st, 2011 10:41
I’m here!!!!
December 31st, 2011 10:50
Hey!
December 31st, 2011 10:51
Hey, Sorley what time is it where you live?
December 31st, 2011 10:53
Around 2
December 31st, 2011 10:57
What about you Levi?
December 31st, 2011 11:03
Woah! I am only aloud to stay up that late reading. And it is 10:30
December 31st, 2011 11:05
Yeah I’m just bored and can’t sleep,have you read uglies?
December 31st, 2011 11:07
You guys should get a glogster acount! we can chat properly and send messages! My username is ruthgirl2.
December 31st, 2011 11:07
@784- YES! I stayed up until 4:30 last nite starting AND finishing it.
December 31st, 2011 11:12
Wow you read it in a day?!?!
December 31st, 2011 11:14
Anyway right now I wanna go
Hover board like Tally-wa did in the middle of the night…*wishing she had a hover board*
December 31st, 2011 11:14
@787- Yeah, I probably wouldn’t have gone to sleep so late if I hadn’t stayed on here until 12:30
December 31st, 2011 11:14
@788- I want to go surfing.
December 31st, 2011 11:16
I meant I wanna go surfing. Want to sounds so formal.
December 31st, 2011 11:19
Kinda
December 31st, 2011 11:21
You live on the east coast, right?
December 31st, 2011 11:21
@792- Yeah, but i dunno.
December 31st, 2011 11:26
Yes I do
December 31st, 2011 11:27
I live on the opposite end of the country from you!!!
December 31st, 2011 11:28
Anyway, why are you team Alek?
December 31st, 2011 11:30
Really?! And I’m not sure I just like how he thinks
December 31st, 2011 11:33
Which team are you?
December 31st, 2011 11:34
I like how totally awesomely emo he is.
December 31st, 2011 11:34
Team Alek all the way!
December 31st, 2011 11:35
Do you live in New York City? *eagerly*
December 31st, 2011 11:40
Aw I wish!! I actually live on the other side of the east coast:sunny Florida
And yay team Alek what do you like about him?
December 31st, 2011 11:40
My dad just said I have to go to bed.
see ya tomorrow *yawns*
December 31st, 2011 11:41
@803- Hey, thats cool too! And I like him because he is so emo it is like TOTALLY awesome!
December 31st, 2011 17:07
@ 803- my family and I are ln vacation in Key West, Florida! Today, we have been here for two weeks and we are leaving in about an hour, so I won’t be able to comment, for probably all day, until we get to the hotel we will be staying at for tonight. It takes 21 hours to get back to Kentucky. A long drive is ahead of us. Well, anyway, good bye! I guess I’ll comment tonight!
December 31st, 2011 19:32
Wow that’s a long drive
December 31st, 2011 21:12
Good gad, 21 hours???
December 31st, 2011 21:14
@ 803 a) Alek can speak different languages and is relatively intelligent, b) he’s a good person, c) He’s emo, which is awesome (so is Harry Potter) d) just look at the dang drawings!!!!!
December 31st, 2011 21:26
Barking spiders! And I thought my 10 hour plane ride from Paris to Dallas, Texas, and then the 3 hour layover before an hour plane flight to Des Moines was long… (Yes, I did just brag that I was in Europe. I happen to do that. Quite a lot.)
December 31st, 2011 21:40
@809-I’m not sure why I like him those are some good ones
December 31st, 2011 21:57
Sometimes there are reasons beyond words to like someone…
December 31st, 2011 22:19
I’m reading Behemoth right now and Im like ” get back to alek!!! I don’t exactly care about deryn right now Alek is in trouble!!!”*applause Scott-la for keeping me hanging*
December 31st, 2011 22:23
What??? I was totally the opposite while reading Behemoth. I think… those few days are a blur to me… GET BACK TO READING RIGHT NOW YOU NINNY!!!
December 31st, 2011 22:37
Don’t worry I’m reading it’s so barking good!!!
December 31st, 2011 22:43
Yes it is, young grasshopper. Yes, it is.
December 31st, 2011 23:05
@806- Why don’t you just fly? Ah, yes, fear of flying.
December 31st, 2011 23:06
@813- You think it’s like that in Behemoth! You should read Goliath!
December 31st, 2011 23:10
@809- Harry Potter is non-comperable to Alek. For 1 thing Harry has serious anger manegment issues and is emo in a ENTIRERLY DIFFERENT way that Alek. Alek’s emoness is awesome, but Harry’s emoness is all like I’ve-got-to-save-everybody-and-freak-out at-everyone emoness. But I also agree that Harry Potter is emo in his own way.
December 31st, 2011 23:10
@810- Well I lived in France for 3 months. Take that!
December 31st, 2011 23:13
@813- You are still reading Behemoth!!!!! It’s clear you are a uglies fan. You aren’t reading Behemoth as fast as humanly possible so that you can FINALLY read Goliath.
December 31st, 2011 23:15
I’m reading like crazy I hope to finish it by tonight so I can start Goliath!!!!!!
December 31st, 2011 23:37
Goliath is on my bed mocking me to hurry up and finish behemoth
December 31st, 2011 23:51
@822- Good.
December 31st, 2011 23:55
I just posted Chapter 2! If you have any suggestions on what I should do with the story I would LOVE to hear them!
January 1st, 2012 00:00
Bye-ya.
January 1st, 2012 00:37
@812 Most definitely. And you Europe-going people are SO LUCKY! I am a complete Anglophile, have been there once, and decreed that I was supposed to be born there.
January 1st, 2012 00:39
I will be going to my Grandma’s for New Year’s and I’ll have extremely limited internet access, so it looks like it will be just Lissa and Sophie. Have fun!
January 1st, 2012 00:41
@827- Well, I was born in Calgary, Alberta! (Canada)
January 1st, 2012 00:41
@826-look at the time and date of your post!!!!thats barking weird!¡!¡
January 1st, 2012 00:41
@ Levi: I just read the songfics on your writing-blog-thing abd they’re really good!!! (and they’re Beatles songs which just makes everything infinitely cooler.)
January 1st, 2012 00:42
@830 I think it’s Australian time. Happy new year, Australian people!!!
January 1st, 2012 00:43
@829 Well that’s at least somewhat exotic compared to California. o_0
January 1st, 2012 00:45
AND LASTLY @ 819 I agree completely.
January 1st, 2012 01:11
Ok NOW I need to know what happens to deryn!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 02:04
@ 810- You and I have an official friend-hate relationship.
January 1st, 2012 02:05
@ 820- I also have a friend-hate relationship with you as well.
January 1st, 2012 02:20
I’m almost done…
January 1st, 2012 02:57
@ 812- * sigh * yes, like my love for Newkirk.
January 1st, 2012 02:58
@ 838- if I had Goliath on my beside, I WOULD SKIP BEHEMOTH AND READ THE BARKING END!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 03:45
Haha I can’t do that it wouldnt be right for Scott-la
January 1st, 2012 03:50
I would’ve KILLED to get Goliath early. Your amount of patience is beyond my understanding.
January 1st, 2012 04:02
Right now alek And deryn are on the cover staring right at me
January 1st, 2012 04:05
Stare at the back and stare at the drooling Tazza.
Why wasn’t NEWKIRK on the barking cover!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 04:32
Sophie- la?
January 1st, 2012 04:50
Yea I’m here
January 1st, 2012 05:30
Yay! DID YOU FINISH BEHEMOTH?
January 1st, 2012 05:33
Um…no you see long story short I was only
On page like 60 when I started this morning now I only have 60 more pages
January 1st, 2012 05:34
Am I the only one not going to do anything for New Year’s Eve?
January 1st, 2012 05:36
@ 848- EEEEP! That’s awesome! I love the picture of Deryn with the knife when she is hiding behid that coil thingy when she’s finding Alek.
The whole “I’m-Going-To-Find-Alek-Because-He-Needs-My-Help” thing remindsme of that song called “a Thousand Miles” by Vannessa Carlton.
* bursts into sobs * SHE WOULD WALK A THOUSAND MILES FOR HIM!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 06:03
@ 849- I guess so.
January 1st, 2012 06:05
@850 That’s probably my favourite pic in Behemoth too! I’ve never heard that song… *looks up*
January 1st, 2012 06:05
@849 Sorry, I believe so. Reading Behemoth or Goliath is a mighty good “anything,” though.
January 1st, 2012 06:14
@ 853- it is!
@ 852- yes! I love that one! But I would’ve loved to see a pic of Lilit, Deryn, and Alek in the elavator after she got to the hotel. I would love to see Deryn’s expression, and her holding the newspaper, and Alek’s open mouth, hanging in shock, and Lililt’s flirty face- since she thought Deryn was a boy. That would’ve been much cooler than the one where they were sitting in the hotel room. For me, it was too much ” other ” stuff and not enough about the characters. They weren’t the main focus of the picture.
January 1st, 2012 06:19
@854 (second remark) That would be amazing!!!!! We should have recommended that for the Last Piece of Art. Maybe we can still bug them…..
January 1st, 2012 06:21
I bet we can! Or an art-tastic fan can draw it!!!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 06:23
* pokes Mr. Westerfeld consistantly * hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey. You know what would be cool? Read comment 854.
* pokes one last time for good measure *
January 1st, 2012 06:23
:{o Good Idea!!! I could TRY but I’m positively terrible at drawing boys. I’m okay at Lilit but Deryn always looks girlie.
January 1st, 2012 06:25
I think the person named Sophie left.
January 1st, 2012 06:31
@ 858- It doesn’t matter if Deryn looks girlie. I always enjoy cracking up at cute anime Deryns.
@ 859- Ai think that too.
January 1st, 2012 06:35
@ 860 (First remark): Ah, I could pull her and Lilit off in that case, but then Alek would be a FAIL unless I tried REALLY hard which I should. Maybe I could tell my friend to draw Alek then glue it on or something…
January 1st, 2012 06:36
I’m here!!!
January 1st, 2012 06:36
Oh, you ARE here!
January 1st, 2012 06:40
Yup
January 1st, 2012 06:42
@ 862- welcome back!
@ 861- I can’t draw to save my life, or anyone else’s, for that matter, so it’s totally okay.
January 1st, 2012 06:42
*awkward silence*
January 1st, 2012 06:44
@ 866- yeah, I just realized the latter part of 865 sounds creepy.
January 1st, 2012 06:44
Oh I thought there was an awkward silence but I was wrong… @865 (second remark) Okay. Just make sure you don’t get taken hostage by highly artistic assassins, and you’ll be fine.
January 1st, 2012 06:45
@867 That’s completely alright. I encounter prodigious amounts of creepiness on a daily basis.
January 1st, 2012 06:48
I AM ALMOST DONE
January 1st, 2012 06:49
With Behemoth??? Congarbulations. I got it the day it came out and finished it the next dy only because I had to go to sleep.
January 1st, 2012 06:51
Do you have Goliath?
January 1st, 2012 06:52
EEEEEEEEEP! READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 06:53
YES DO HURRY!!! @873 Have you read all three of them?
January 1st, 2012 06:56
@ 874- all three of Leviathan? Note: I do not read books, I INHALE them.
January 1st, 2012 07:03
Yes I have Goliath I’m ALMOST done with behemoth!!!
January 1st, 2012 07:05
Sophie-la: do NOT take this the wrong wa, but GET OFF THIS COMMENTING AND FINISH THE BARKING BOOK!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 07:06
@875 likewise. I finished the seventh Harry Potter in a day.
@ 876 when you’re done with Behemoth, start with Goliath immediately!!!!! (It was a long and painful wait before Goliath came out. o_0)
January 1st, 2012 07:07
What does “la” mean?
January 1st, 2012 07:11
There was la and wa and things like that. I be confused.
January 1st, 2012 07:13
Ah, forever alone. :’(
January 1st, 2012 07:14
In comment 877, I meant WAY. And wa has something to do with Uglies.
January 1st, 2012 07:15
Okay… I kind of get it now… I really should read those.
January 1st, 2012 07:15
Sorry! I was replying to another post. What is your crossdresser name, Clanker Rose?
January 1st, 2012 07:15
I mean Uglies.
January 1st, 2012 07:15
What do you mean??
January 1st, 2012 07:16
OH!!! What is an R boys name that sounds like either Ruth or Rose…?
January 1st, 2012 07:17
@ 883- me too, but I feel like I would be cheating on Newkirk if I were to read another book by Scott. It’s like ditching your boyfriend for his brother.
January 1st, 2012 07:18
@888 YES!!! I feel like that too. Except with Alek cuz I think Newkirk’s kind of your job. Or Bovril…
January 1st, 2012 07:20
Hmm. Ray? Raymond? Randy? Rigby? Rider?
January 1st, 2012 07:22
I like Ray. But Rigby would be cool because a) It’s the bosun’s name and b) Eleanor Rigby is a Beatles song. Which makes everything ten times cooler.
January 1st, 2012 07:23
@ 889- yes, he is my responsibility! I feel like Bovril has many fans, so he doesn’t need another fangirl. And Alek’s got Deryn, and if I liked Alek, I’d feel like I would be getting in the way.
So really, Newkirk was the only person left.
Kinda like me.
January 1st, 2012 07:24
There.
January 1st, 2012 07:24
@ 891- indeed, it does.
January 1st, 2012 07:25
@892 That’s true… I’ve been trying to make up a good boy OC but failing miserably.
January 1st, 2012 07:26
Leviathan fandom must run rampant in Beatles fans!
January 1st, 2012 07:26
Ok I will be back soon!!
January 1st, 2012 07:28
There seems to be a lot of Ruths on here… I thought I was te only one!!! :{o
January 1st, 2012 07:28
Okay bye Sophie person!!! Happy New Years eve.
January 1st, 2012 07:29
If it’s still New Year’s eve where you are…
January 1st, 2012 07:31
What is team Singe?
January 1st, 2012 07:31
Is it Newkirk?
January 1st, 2012 07:32
I’m gonna go with Singe=Newkirk.
January 1st, 2012 07:33
@ 895- good boy OC?
January 1st, 2012 07:35
A suitable Original Character that is a boy that is not Alek or Newkirk.
January 1st, 2012 07:36
903- Newkirk is Singe. Lissa, who is DEAD BRILLIANT with nicknames came up with it after his precarious situation with a burnt Huxley Ascender.
January 1st, 2012 07:37
AHA!!! I thought so. Good job, Lissa. I have yet to decide which team I am on… And which day of the week are these meetings?
January 1st, 2012 07:37
@ 905- Fitzroy, Count, Eddie, Rigby, and my personal favorite-who-is-not-Newkirk, Klopp!
January 1st, 2012 07:39
XD I meant a character that I make up myself! But Klopp is awesome. And so is Volger’s moustache.
January 1st, 2012 07:40
What should the Alekmeister’s nickname be?
January 1st, 2012 07:41
I like Eddie’s fake moustache.
And I pronounce moustache as ‘moos-stactch-eee’. Just to let you know.
January 1st, 2012 07:42
910- Dumbo. Because of the ears.
January 1st, 2012 07:43
@911 That is quite an adequate pronunciation. Like suspicious, which I say as “suspi-shee-oh-shus.”
@ 910 Agreed.
January 1st, 2012 07:44
I need to go to a New Years thing. Fare thee well!
January 1st, 2012 07:46
Goodbye! Think of Alek in a dress….
January 1st, 2012 07:51
I will decide which team I’m on, then come back on here tomorrow night if possible.
January 1st, 2012 07:51
@ 915 I shall.
January 1st, 2012 08:01
I AM DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 08:05
I’m starting GOLIATH!!!
January 1st, 2012 08:11
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I CAN QUOTE T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HE FIRST PAGE!!!!!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 08:12
I didn’t mean all those exclamation points in the middle of THE.
January 1st, 2012 08:18
I’m going to slleep now. Have fun reading!!!!!
January 1st, 2012 08:20
I will!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡
January 1st, 2012 08:22
Where does Scott-la live? He is always in Australia so…….
January 1st, 2012 10:11
Congarbulations, Sophie! (I believe Scott lives in Australia and New York.)
January 1st, 2012 14:53
UH, DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE THIRD COMMENTER’S NAME?! PETER COOPER?! LIKE THE BRILLIANT SONGWRITER OUT OF NASHVILLE?! IS HE ON THIS BLOG?! ARE WE ALL IN THE VIRTUAL PRESENCE OF VERNACULAR GREATNESS (outside of Mr. Westerfeld, of course)?! WOULD IT MAKE HIM ( the possible real Peter Cooper) UNCOMFTERBLE IF HE READ THIS COMMENT? Probably…
No real reason I’m hyperventilating (after all, I’ve met the guy), but it’s just surprising that he’d be on here is all, you know, two great minds aware of one another’s existance. But maybe it’s not him. I’ll bet there’s a lot of people named Peter Cooper. Damn. And as that thought sinks in, I sink into a depression which few things can elevate me out of (but, of those few, the music of Peter Cooper is one of them)
January 1st, 2012 18:35
@ 926- and I thought I was obsessed.
January 1st, 2012 18:37
@ Sophie- EEEWEEP! ENJOY EVERY BARKING CHAPTER OF THAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It ended so quickly.
January 1st, 2012 19:36
@928-I WILL!¡!¡!¡
January 1st, 2012 22:51
Hey guys! Guess what I was doing at midnight!!! READING GOLIATH!!!!
Yes, you heard me right. I brought in the new year with Dalek. Unfortunately they weren’t kissing… just being discovered by Mexican doctors…
But HAH!!! Best way to start 2012 EVER!! Especially considering the other stuff that’s going on right now.
January 1st, 2012 22:55
Omg I was doing the same thing!!!what a great way to start the year!!!!
January 1st, 2012 23:06
Chapter 5 is up on my blog now. Happy New Year!
January 1st, 2012 23:07
@931. I know. It was so great.
January 1st, 2012 23:11
@786. Wow, Levi. Uglies in one day? That’s impressive.
January 2nd, 2012 00:20
Ya I know!!!!!! In 1 day?! I ALMOST did that with specials
January 2nd, 2012 01:04
I didn’t even make Goliath in that time. I had a sleeping break in the middle. All in all, though, it still amounted to less than 20 hours.
January 2nd, 2012 02:11
That’s awesome
January 2nd, 2012 02:26
And I basically went catatonic after I finished out of sadness…
January 2nd, 2012 03:56
Oh
January 2nd, 2012 05:17
Yeah. Anyone here now???
January 2nd, 2012 06:02
I am still here
January 2nd, 2012 06:16
Oh, okay. Hullo, again, Sorley.
January 2nd, 2012 07:23
Hullo
January 2nd, 2012 08:50
Olllo!!! I’m back!
January 2nd, 2012 08:51
@934- Yeah…
January 2nd, 2012 08:52
‘K guys. I am going to skip reading all 200 of the comments that I missed while I was having fun at the beach and just ask you guys to tell me of anything I need to know.
January 2nd, 2012 10:48
Hey, Lissa, I just finished reading chapter 4 and I loved it, but I think (and I tell you this as a friend) that you made Deryn too self-conscious. I mean doesn’t Alek specifically say that any other girl would care about him seeing her all covered in clart, but never Deryn?
January 2nd, 2012 10:57
So, I was thinking (at this point in a bad sitcom you would say “oh, no” grimly and back away) and I thought, What if Alek had died when Mr. Hirst shot him in Behemoth? Wouldn’t that be the most awesomely tragic tragedy in the world? I, as a writer, would LOVE to take that opportunity. Just describing Deryn’s many emotions, her anger at her self that she never told Alek who she was, her grief and anguish that her best friend and ally is gone, her sheer confusion at what the Huxley clart has happened?!? That would be so fun to write about. I think I will. Or, even better, Deryn somehow died and they found out about her (not so) small secret? It would be equally interesting delve into Alek’s tangled emotion, eh?
January 2nd, 2012 11:02
I just listened to Poison and Wine by the Civil Wars and I think it would be SOOO perfect for the sad montage in the Goliath movie when Alek finds out. Seriously, listen to it. The mood is perfect, the lyrics are like they were written for this, the melody of woman and man singing and than them singing together totally matches Alek and Deryn’s whole relationship.
January 2nd, 2012 11:05
OMG The Civil Wars RULE! They have a sort of emo bluegrass (which I usually don’t like) sound.
January 2nd, 2012 11:14
@949- Even the video looks like them!
January 2nd, 2012 11:15
@930- What does that mean? *tentatively*
January 2nd, 2012 11:55
@878- Wow. I was never THAT in live with them. In fact, I think that on a scale of 1-10 with some like, lame 100 pg book that nobody’s ever heard of being a one and Goliath being a 10, I would say harry potter is a 5.
January 2nd, 2012 11:57
@888- Trust me it like ditching your boyfriend for his 10 year old brother.
January 2nd, 2012 11:59
@892- You ever heard of doomed love? That’s being in love with Alek. You can read about him till the day’s done, but you can never be with him. *cries dramatically*
January 2nd, 2012 12:01
@907- Pretty much everyday, but not all of us are here a lot of the time.
January 2nd, 2012 12:03
@912- That is a HORRIBLE NICKNAME!!! Frankly I am ASHAMED OF YOU, RACHEL!!! He should be something cool that Lissa makes up. YOU make mean nicknames.
January 2nd, 2012 12:05
@934- Actually, it was more like 4 hours.
January 2nd, 2012 18:48
Hullo, everyone. I’m back. I like the nickname Dumbo for Alek… or, if Levi REALLY doesn’t like it, just leave it as Daft Prince, like Deryn says.
@947. Okay. I’ll go back and try to tone down the self-consciousness a bit. Thanks for your input. He did say that, too. I will have to argue, though, that seeing her in clart would be much different than seeing her in a dress.
January 2nd, 2012 18:57
@949.” I don’t have a choice but I choose you….” Hmmm. That sounds about right.
January 2nd, 2012 19:03
I think “Before the Worst” by The Script would be an AWESOME song for The Hunger Games, if it were from Gale’s POV. “We were sitting with our backs against the world, saying things that we thought would never hurt…”
January 2nd, 2012 20:31
I still think that Paradise by Coldplay should be in the uglies movie! Who is with me?! The lyrics are PERFECT I think tht the song should play when Tally-wa is going to get the operation or when she is paking for the operation!! Because the song says “she dreamed of para para paradise,every time she closed her eyes”!!!!!! And Tally-wa thinks that being pretty will be perfect……but the song could play again when Tally-wa runs away to the smoke because it says “and she ran away in her sleep” I think that it is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!!!!!oh and I think that Emily Browning should play Tally-wa!!! She is also PERFECT!!!(this is my longest comment eva!)
January 2nd, 2012 21:13
Hmm… Congrats at your new comment length status. (No, that wasn’t supposed to make sense.)
January 2nd, 2012 21:33
Haha thanks
January 2nd, 2012 21:55
You know what would be both awesome and lame at the same time? Leviathan trading cards. Like, Darwinist vs. Clanker. Pokémon and Yu-ghi-oh would never compare!
January 2nd, 2012 21:57
LOL my dorky little brother is already making them.
January 2nd, 2012 22:26
@965- They have Harry Potter ones. But I have yet to see one in real life which is (I believe) a testimony to how (not) terribly popular they are.
January 2nd, 2012 22:29
The only problem about “Poison and Wine” is that the mans voice sound WAY older than a 15 year old. But, tis such, eh?
January 2nd, 2012 22:33
@959- Cool. And I get what you are saying that she might be more selfconsiece in a dress, I am, but I just don’t think that that really matches Deryn very well. But I do think you captured Alek perfectly. I have one other note: Where’s Bovirl?!
January 2nd, 2012 22:37
Also “Poison and Wine” was in a Grays Anatomy episode AND those two Civil Wars are in the song “Safe and Sound” by Taylor Swift, who, BTW, LOVES the Civil Wars. So there.
January 2nd, 2012 22:38

January 2nd, 2012 22:51
yuc.
January 2nd, 2012 22:52
1,000th COMMENT!!!!!!! SO LEGIT!!!!
January 2nd, 2012 23:18
I think that “Safe and Sound” is eitheir for when Rue dies, when Katniss and Peeta are in the cave or when she is on the train. That song just sounds like death. It would be perfect for the part in Harry Potter 4 when Cedric dies, if they had spent more time dwelling on that. When I read that his eyes were dead I just sat in my big armchair, mouth gaping, reading the words over and over again thinking, no no no Cedric can’t be dead. Of course when Lupin, Sirius, Tonks, and worst of all, Fred died I didn’t feel that empty feeling. I just heard “when all those shadows almost killed your light.”… I thought of Fred… *chokes back a sob*
January 2nd, 2012 23:23
@ 949-950: Yes, The Civil Wars DO, in fact, rock some pretty serious balls. Saw ‘em in Nashville at the Americana Music Awards this past October and had an ear-orgasm for around three minutes (or rather, the length of the song they played). Awesome? Yes. Bluegrass? Maybe. But emo?! SH!T NO!
By the way, as long as you’re checking out “Americana” (or Outlaw Country, or REAL Country or whatever you wish to call it) artists, you should bend your ear to the music of Elizabeth Cook, jump on the wavelength of Ryan Bingham, and tune to the frequency of The Spring Standards. You will be rewarded presently.
“A revolution’s just a circle after all, and every kingdom falls” – Jonathan Byrd (check out this guy too)
January 2nd, 2012 23:33
@1002- I actually HATE country music. And not emo!?!?!?!?! ARE YOU !@#$ INANE!!!! Have you HEARD they’re lyrics?!?!?!?!
January 2nd, 2012 23:36
@1002- Keep in mind that I am a cross dresser; my real name is Lauren.
Lucky! you got to see them live! They don’t come to Seattle because nobody in Seattle likes bluegrass here. Here on the west coast we like our pop.
January 2nd, 2012 23:39
I think what I like about The Civil Wars is their mix of west coast pop and Midwestern country.
January 2nd, 2012 23:50
Alek knows…
January 3rd, 2012 00:20
@1006- What does that even mean?
January 3rd, 2012 00:21
Do ya know what sound awesome? If you play rainy mood and “Safe and Sound” at the same time. It sounds legit. See for yourself.
January 3rd, 2012 00:57
@1007 he knows about deryn
January 3rd, 2012 01:31
OMBS you’re only that far into the book?!?! You are a slow reader as far as Goliath goes. They should at least be in Mexico by now if you were reading at an acceptable pace. LoL read as slow as you want. It will make it last longer *weeps that it’s over for her*
January 3rd, 2012 01:40
Yea I am trying to make it last from what I heard and I have been re-reading specials again…….
January 3rd, 2012 01:40
January 3rd, 2012 04:40
@1012. Thank you. (Some of my art was up there. No, I don’t CARE if you didn’t necessarily mean mine.) Mine was Alek walking in on Deryn in a dress.
January 3rd, 2012 05:46
Really?! Mine is there too!!!
January 3rd, 2012 05:46
HELLO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! MISS ME?????????????????
January 3rd, 2012 05:48
@ 957- It’s true, though.
January 3rd, 2012 05:49
@1014. Really? Which one is yours? I should probably know this…
@1015. Hullo, Ronnie! I DID miss you! In fact, I missed everyone. I’ve been so lonely… *Looks away*
January 3rd, 2012 05:51
@ 988- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BARKING LOVE THE BOOK THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 3rd, 2012 05:52
BUT I HATE MARKUS ZUSAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 05:53
@ 1017- Something was wrong with my barking computer and would not let me post for two days!!!!!!!!! It was driving me BARKING INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 05:55
@ 1010- I got Goliath at 12:00 sharp, and finished it at five. Nonstop reading.
HA! READ 1010 out loud!
January 3rd, 2012 05:57
Why should I read comment 1010 out loud?
January 3rd, 2012 05:59
Because it sounds like TinTin. Which is a movie I really want to see. Because he is * sighs * BRITISH.
January 3rd, 2012 05:59
I meant the NUMBER!!!! Not the actually comment,.
January 3rd, 2012 06:03
@1018/1019- I KNOW!!!! But its so sad!!!! *sobs* Poor, poor Rudy. He never got to kiss Liesiel!!! *weeps* SO SAD!!!!!! Ah. that’s why you hate Markus Zuzak. You shouldn’t hate him, he was just making the most awesome book of all time and he needed it to inflict a strong emotion. Which he did admirably.
January 3rd, 2012 06:03
@1023- You do? That looks lame.
January 3rd, 2012 06:04
@ 1025- AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! And Liesel moved on!!!!! I actually wrote a poem on about the Book Thief.
January 3rd, 2012 06:04
@ 1026- NEVER DOUBT THE AWESOMENESS OF BRITISH PEOPLE!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 06:05
I got my brother that book for Christmas 2010, and he still hasn’t read it…
January 3rd, 2012 06:07
I read the Book Thief in sixth grade. I actually convinced one of my friends to buy it in seventh grade, but she DIDN’T READ IT!!! So I kept bugging her about it, and finally she did. She came to school the next day and cried on my shoulder.
@ 1025/1027- I just realized we ruined the entire ending of the entire barking Book Thief.
Oops.
January 3rd, 2012 06:08
@ 1029- TELL YOUR BARKING BROTHER TO READ THE BOOK THIEF OR I WILL PERSONALLY COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND SHOVE HIS FACE INTO THAT BOOK AND FORCE HIM TO READ IT!
AND YEDDI WILL FIND HIM!
January 3rd, 2012 06:08
It’s okay. I kind of only understand half of what you’re saying. Oh, well.
Guess, what, guys???? All three of us are here, so I officially call this meeting of the Singe-Alek Fan Club in session!
January 3rd, 2012 06:10
Did you read chapter 5 yet, Ronnie? I posted it last night.
January 3rd, 2012 06:11
Cool. Are Sophie and Rose part of it?
January 3rd, 2012 06:13
@ 1033- I BARKING DID!!! AND IT WAS BARKING AMAZING!!!!!!!! You are now one of my favorite authors.
January 3rd, 2012 06:14
@ 1034- I thought they were. And M@X, too.
January 3rd, 2012 06:15
I think as tentative members… Sorley more so than, um, what’s Rose’s guy name?
Ronnie, I’m supposed to inform you that my brother is reading The Book Thief while quivering in fear of Yeddi.
January 3rd, 2012 06:19
@1035. Okay, I was just checking. Thank you, by the way. That means a lot to me. *Tear rolls down face*
@1036. Does M@X know we meet on FAF posts?
January 3rd, 2012 06:21
@1036- I don’t think that M@X is on here hardly ever so they shouldn’t be a part of it. Plus we don’t know they’re name so we can’t give them a cross dresser name. To be in the Alek and Singe fan club you have to have a cross dresser name.
January 3rd, 2012 06:21
BTW, I wonder what happened to Emo. And Josh:). They both disappeared… In fact, where’s Salt, too?
January 3rd, 2012 06:23
Yeah…
January 3rd, 2012 06:23
Plus selin.
January 3rd, 2012 06:24
@1039. True, true. Very true.
I have a new book that I’m reading. It’s called “The Scorpio Races” by Maggie Stiefvater. She also wrote Shiver, which I haven’t read. Ever heard of it?
January 3rd, 2012 06:25
no
January 3rd, 2012 06:25
*Facepalm* And Selin. Does Selin have a cross-dresser name?
January 3rd, 2012 06:26
@ 1037- Yes, yes he should be. Yeddi is something to be afraid of. But, there is a more frightening adversary he shall soon meet. Death, yes Death.
@ 1036- I talked to M@X on “A Musical Interlude” about it. He says his name can be a boy or a girl’s name, so there’s no need to change it. Bum-rag cheater. But he said he has been out of wifi internet connection for awhile, so that’s why. Go to “A Musical INterlude” to see our conversation.
@ 1040- At my school, we are on winter break, so all my comunications with Josh have been severed. But I will severely beat his bum after school if he hasn’t checked these blogs and read the bonus chapter.
January 3rd, 2012 06:27
It’s a good book so far. Kind of dark, but very grabbing.
January 3rd, 2012 06:28
@ 1043- Yes, my cousin has read The Scorpio Races, and she wanted me to read them. Ick. The only animals I like reading about are beasties.
January 3rd, 2012 06:28
@1046- Cool, so now we have a boy in the fan club?
January 3rd, 2012 06:29
Yeesh. What if he HASN’T read the bonus chapter yet? That would be insane. If he hasn’t, beat him up extra hard, just for me. And his cross dresser name needs to be Jocelyn. Please???
January 3rd, 2012 06:30
I think that we should have a rule that to join the fan club you have to have at least 300 comments on the last 5 posts. To prove you REALLY are a devoted fan.
January 3rd, 2012 06:31
Btw, Lissa, did you see that I got the 1000th comment?
January 3rd, 2012 06:31
@ 1050- Most definitely! And he was the one who was threatening NUCLEAR WAR ON EVERYBODY AND HIS PANDA ARMIES!!!!!!!!
@ 1049- Technically, we’re all boys.
January 3rd, 2012 06:32
Hmmm. But who would want to go count??? It’s a great idea, if you’re willing to put in the effort.
January 3rd, 2012 06:32
@ 1051- I read all the comments on every Leviathan post.
January 3rd, 2012 06:34
@1054- I’m willing. (I have a LOT of extra time)
January 3rd, 2012 06:34
Like, since the first book came out???
January 3rd, 2012 06:34
@1053- Well, yes, but not in real life.
January 3rd, 2012 06:36
I just posted chapter 3 of Lissa and her Mall.
January 3rd, 2012 06:37
Okay, then. Have at it, my friend. Will you even when school starts again?
January 3rd, 2012 06:38
@ 1059- is there an inside joke to this that I’m missing?
January 3rd, 2012 06:39
@1060- Yes, because I am home schooled and therefor have hardly any “home”work.
January 3rd, 2012 06:40
@1062- No, but that’s the title of my story.
January 3rd, 2012 06:40
@1052. Yes. I saw. *Glares*
@1053. What he meant to ask was, “So does that mean we have a girl in the fan club?”
@1059. I will read it immediately.
January 3rd, 2012 06:40
@ 1062- ha ha. I get it. All your work is homework.
January 3rd, 2012 06:42
@ 1053- EXACTLY! Heh heh. This reverse gender thing is confusing. So is my screen name. I will change it now.
January 3rd, 2012 06:42
@1064- Cool, O-K, and awesome.
January 3rd, 2012 06:42
@ 1066- That’s better.
January 3rd, 2012 06:43
Who is this strange green-bowler-hatted man??? Is he a boffin with algae on his hat? I want to know…
January 3rd, 2012 06:43
I gotta go. I am going to see Hugo again! Give me a list of potential fan club candidates and I will check if they qualify.
January 3rd, 2012 06:44
Oh, simplyRonnie. You make me laugh.
January 3rd, 2012 06:44
@1069- I got that green bowler hat thing from Harry Potter.
January 3rd, 2012 06:44
@1069- Fudge.
January 3rd, 2012 06:45
1070- AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO BUY THAT BARKING MOVIE WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 06:46
Sorley, M@X, Josh:), Sophie, Clanker Rose. Did I forget anyone?
Bye, Levi! Talk to you soon!
January 3rd, 2012 06:46
@ 1070- IT’S JUST ME AND YOU, (MILES) NOW.
@ 1073- FUDGE BOWLER HATS??????? AWESOME!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 06:47
I’M GOING TO TAKE MY CAPS off now. So that way it won’t look like I’m screaming.
January 3rd, 2012 06:48
This comment section may just trump the Bonus Art Vote yet.
January 3rd, 2012 06:52
Maybe. Maybe. No, a character in Harry Potter is named Fudge, and he wears a green bowler hat. There are no hats made out of fudge, sadly.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK? IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU’RE YELLING WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
January 3rd, 2012 06:53
WHY ARE YOU BARKING YELLING AT ME???????
January 3rd, 2012 06:54
@ 1079- I am fully, completely, 100%ly, Harry Potter incompetent.
January 3rd, 2012 06:57
I’M NOT YELLING AT YOU WHAT ARE YOU BLETHERING ABOUT? MY CAPS LOCK IS SIMPLY ON.
@1081. I’d noticed.
January 3rd, 2012 07:00
I also use caps lock TO MAKE A BARKING POINT!
@ latter part of 1082- Yes. Yes. I know. I’m not in to Harry Potter and never will be. Oh, and after your brother finishes reading TBT, YOU NEED TO READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 07:03
Apparently it is told from Death’s POV. Hm… an interesting twist…
I’d planned on reading it, eventually.
So, what were you doing at 12:00 A.M., Jan 1, 2012?
January 3rd, 2012 07:05
My favorite, all time chapters are: The Jesse Owens Incident, and…. * drum roll please * The Thought of Rudy Naked.
Both chapters of which include Rudy.
And I also enjoy The Jewish Fist Fighter.
January 3rd, 2012 07:06
My mom is making me go to bed. I come back when I can. Good night! I enjoyed this meeting!
January 3rd, 2012 07:10
@1085. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
January 3rd, 2012 07:14
BYE!!!
January 3rd, 2012 07:17
BTW whenever you get back, chapter 6 is up now…
January 3rd, 2012 07:40
@1017-Mine is the uglies book with all the sticky notes coming out of it.
January 3rd, 2012 07:42
what did I miss I really don’t wanna read all the comments….
January 3rd, 2012 07:43
so sorry I missed the meeting!!!!
January 3rd, 2012 09:27
Ever notice how nobody in the uglies books besides extras nobody has last name but Tally-wa?
January 3rd, 2012 09:33
@middy miles-didn’t your comment name

January 3rd, 2012 17:28
@1090. *headdesk* I’m such a ninny. I knew that.
@1094. Nope. It was Lissa, then Miss Lissa, then Lissa again, then Middy Miles.
January 3rd, 2012 19:30
@ 1095- Help! Someone call the doctor! Lissa has a case of confused identity!
January 3rd, 2012 19:37
@1095-haha nice

January 3rd, 2012 20:23
Changing the subject *looks away* here is one of my fav uglies series quotes:
” technically I’m not a bubblehead” – Frizz-la,extras
January 3rd, 2012 21:00
These people have some really weird names.
January 3rd, 2012 21:32

Oh, okay. Yes, let’s stay on FAF.
January 4th, 2012 03:43
Yup yup
January 4th, 2012 04:40
Argh. I feel like clart. I got my wisdom teeth taken out today.
January 4th, 2012 04:55
@1111-aw I’m sorry
January 4th, 2012 06:29
Hey, peeps (no reference intended) I will proabably not be atending most of the following club meetings because you guys usually meet while I am at pottery, music, youth group etc. I also will maybe or maybe not be counting the comments. Now that school has started I realize I am MUCH more busy than I previously thought. I also may or may not be reading all of the new comments.
January 4th, 2012 06:49
@1113. Oh, sorry. I’m sad now *teardrop*. Oh well. I guess I still have Ronnie and Sorley and Clanker Rose.
January 4th, 2012 07:04
BTW. Pottery??? So jealous…
January 4th, 2012 09:02
@-1114, 1115- Yeah, I’m sad too.
I will try to make it as much as possible. And yeah, pottery. It’s totally legit.
January 4th, 2012 09:33
I just posted chapter 4 of Lissa and the Mall!
January 4th, 2012 17:18
I have school today! Grr!!! I will be able to post before then at lunch then after I get home….
January 5th, 2012 00:18
@Sergant Pepper- I didn’t mean they had emo style of music. When I use emo I don’t mean the weirdo lifestyle, I mean that it is emotional.
January 5th, 2012 01:36
@Sophie- I just realized, you live in sunny Florida. I, rainy western Washington. You, the Atlantic Southeast. Me, the Pacific Northwest! Funny, eh?
January 5th, 2012 01:57
@levi-yea weird huh?!
January 5th, 2012 02:25
Totally! Btw, in case you didn’t know, I am Canadian. That’s why I say “eh?”.
January 5th, 2012 03:28
I fighured you were a canadian cause you talk about Canada a lot………

It does? I wasn’t aware it existed yet. Right now, we’re all just Rusties…
January 5th, 2012 04:34
7 is up on my blog now. It’s short, but it features Newkirk and a beastie!
January 5th, 2012 04:53
@ 1127- You know, real men aren’t afraid to cry.
January 5th, 2012 04:56
No they are not. And I figured it was about time to make Newkirk a major character, and what better way to start that by making him seem really human by crying.
January 5th, 2012 04:58
@1126-in Bougus to Bubbly Scott-la states that yes we are the rusties but in a way we arent
January 5th, 2012 05:07
Oh, by the way, I made a change to chapter 5 so that Tad wasn’t there when Deryn returned from her conversation with Dr. Barlow. He showed up a few minutes later, of course, and their conversation and the rest of the chapter was unchanged.
January 5th, 2012 05:08
@1130. I haven’t read Bougus to Bubbly…
January 5th, 2012 05:31
* chants * CHAPTER EIGHT! CHAPTER EIGHT! I wish Newkirk had MY shoulder to cry on.
* starts crying too *
January 5th, 2012 05:32
@1130- I have no comment to that. But yet, I’m commenting on it. Just goes to show, I suppose.
January 5th, 2012 05:33
Chapter 8 is veeerrrry dramatic. I’m not sure you want to read it. *laughs maniacally*
January 5th, 2012 05:34
Just goes to show what, Levi!
January 5th, 2012 05:36
@1130- I think that America is a purely Rustie civilization and Canada is a half-not and half Rustie civilization. My justification for that statement is the amount of wars Canada has fought compared to america.
January 5th, 2012 05:36
That even the best of us sometimes eat our words.

Hey, I made a really deep glog today, you can see it if you click on this:
http://www.glogster.com/ruthgirl/writing/g-6lqq0c3seg7tie934aq26a0
This one is about Deryn and Alek having a fight.
http://www.glogster.com/ruthgirl/deryn-alek-/g-6lqr8ptenprrqaldku961a0
January 5th, 2012 05:41
@1139- Do ya mean the name, Miles, or you? Because if its you, then what I meant is that I was wrong.
January 5th, 2012 05:43
Hey look at these graphic blogs I made. It takes a wee bit of navigating to get to them, but its not that hard.
ruthgirl.glogster.com
January 5th, 2012 05:45
I made one on Deryn and Alek and one on Writing. I also made a kinda cute one about pigs. The first two are the best (in my opinion).
January 5th, 2012 05:53
Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, today I rented some skis for the season!!!! I am going to be taking skiing lessons at the pass this season and it is going to rock!!!!! I LOVE SKIING!!!
January 5th, 2012 06:01
Anyone there?
“‘Hallo?’ She called, hoping her Clanker accent was believable.”
January 5th, 2012 06:04
Aye, someone’s clear. And I’ve totally used that before!
January 5th, 2012 06:05
Oops. Typo. I meant “Aye, someone’s here.”
January 5th, 2012 06:09
I am currently looking at your Glogs…
January 5th, 2012 06:09
What are the songs on the Dalek one?
January 5th, 2012 06:46
I will check.
January 5th, 2012 06:48
Stormy, Young, and Hiding Place all by Hedley.
January 5th, 2012 06:50
The first words in Hiding Place SUCK and do NOT match the beginning of it. I didn’t really have anything better.
January 5th, 2012 06:52
I also just made a new one on the polar bear plunge.
January 5th, 2012 07:18
Cool. I’d check it out, but my computer is spazzing on me.
January 5th, 2012 07:27
No prob. The writing one is the most legit anyway.
January 5th, 2012 07:55
I’m so bored
January 5th, 2012 08:06
Me too.
January 5th, 2012 09:11
Can someone-anyone-give me a synonym for “Barking”?!?! I wish I could use that, but its to copieing. ARRG! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!?!?!?! Looks like its time to break the old calming tactics, “Safe and Sound” and “Poison and Wine”. *Sigh* I hate writing!!!
January 5th, 2012 10:00
HA!! My dear mother has given me a STROKE of BRILLIANCE!!! Lissa’s signature term will be… wait for it… WAILING WALLABY’S!
January 5th, 2012 10:05
Yeah. I’m a the most awesome idea-copyer ever… yeah…
January 5th, 2012 17:14
Oh, Wailing Wallabies! Eh, sounds like it could work… it even alliterates, which is something barking spiders lacks. Not, of course, that barking spiders isn’t the best thing ever.
January 5th, 2012 19:22
Because it is.
January 6th, 2012 00:32
It is. I say it to my Levia-buddies all the time.
January 6th, 2012 00:34
WHERE IS CHAPTER EIGHT?????????????????
January 6th, 2012 01:12
Hiding from you in my computer. I have to space the chapters out now, because I only have three or four left to post before I have to write another. I am working on one currently, by the way, and I do have a deleted scene that I half-wrote and then trashed… but yeah. It’s hiding. From you, Ronnie.
January 6th, 2012 02:02
Haha
January 6th, 2012 02:20
It. IS. NOT! Books never hide from me! I love them!
January 6th, 2012 02:31
Except when I get really mad at their endings and angrily throw them across the room.
Which I almost did with Leivathan and Behemoth.
But Goliath made up for it.
January 6th, 2012 02:59
Did you ever think that your…love… for the books could be what’s scaring them off?
January 6th, 2012 03:05
What, are you likening my love with Newkirk with my books?
I need to know what happens!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 03:18
Hmm… Well, I guess I’ll post chapter 8. Oh, and the thing I said about it being super dramatic isn’t quite truthful. You really only get Alek-Singe bonding… Sorry…
It’s up! Go check it out!
January 6th, 2012 03:27
I’m sick……………………………………….WITH I LOVE SCOTT-LA WESTERFELD AND HIS BOOKS SYNDROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 03:28
@1170. Did you just say what I think you said? If so, you just admitted that Newkirk was hiding from you…
January 6th, 2012 03:29
@1172. Really? Me too. It must be a virus going around or something.
Any particular thing that may have triggered it in the recent past?
January 6th, 2012 03:31
Ronnie seems to have disappeared…
January 6th, 2012 03:45
And now so has Sorley. So… alone…
January 6th, 2012 04:27
I’m back
January 6th, 2012 04:27
@1174-no not really but I still have it hehehe
January 6th, 2012 04:30
@ 1171- Oh, so I’M THE ONE WITH NOTHING IN HER ATTIC? Thanks.
January 6th, 2012 04:32
@ 1173- I have no comment to that.
January 6th, 2012 04:46
Now it appears that I’M the only one here.
January 6th, 2012 04:59
Hello??? Anyone there?
January 6th, 2012 05:09
Ah, well. *goes back to eating pomegranate*
January 6th, 2012 05:20
Can any one tell me the pronunciation of the name Geoff?
January 6th, 2012 05:24
@1184. It’s pronounced like “Jeff”. I have a teacher with that name.
@1179. No, you show up later. I promise. And you totally have stuff in your attic. You’re a Clanker engineer, remember?
January 6th, 2012 05:27
@1185- Okay, that’s what I thought but I wasn’t quite sure.
January 6th, 2012 05:32
S’all good, my Canadian friend. Would you like me to work you into my Fanfic somehow, too? If you don’t, that’s cool with me. I just thought I’d ask in case you maybe felt left out for some reason. You know, with me and Ronnie both being in it and all.
January 6th, 2012 05:36
@ 1185- Why, thank you! I AM a Clanker! I feel all better now!
January 6th, 2012 05:37
@1187- Yes, I would be highly insulted if you didn’t include me somehow.
January 6th, 2012 05:38
@ Levi- you can be my sister/brother… of sorts.
January 6th, 2012 05:38
That is if you’re a Clanker.
January 6th, 2012 05:39
No, I am a Darwinist through and through.
January 6th, 2012 05:41
@ 1192- You godless dummkopf.
January 6th, 2012 05:41
I mean that in a good way.
January 6th, 2012 05:43
You daft prince.
January 6th, 2012 05:44
That was my FAVORITE of Deryn’s lines.
Especially when she said “of course, your princeliness.”
January 6th, 2012 05:45
You two are sooo funny. So, Levi, is there any particular way you’d like to be included? I am sort of running out of ideas. I kind of have a vague plot going, but it would be easy enough to tweak it a little to include you. I am open to suggestions!
January 6th, 2012 05:45
@ 1197- How about a GIANT PANCAKE FALLS OUT OF THE SKY?
January 6th, 2012 05:46
99!
January 6th, 2012 05:46
200!
January 6th, 2012 05:47
2,000!!!
January 6th, 2012 05:47
AUGH!! I was too late.
January 6th, 2012 05:48
hah hah! * to be said in a childish way *
January 6th, 2012 05:50
Sorta like mischievous cackling?
January 6th, 2012 05:51
It wouldn’t have been 2,000 anyway…
NO GIANT PANCAKES!!!!
January 6th, 2012 05:52
@ 1204- Sometimes I cackle, and it scares my mom.
Heh heh.
Like that.
@ 1205- HOW ABOUT….. GIANT WAFFLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 05:52
No, mischievous cackling is more like *Muahahahahahaha!!!*
January 6th, 2012 05:54
NO GIANT FOODS OF ANY SORT WHATSOEVER!!! This is a serious Fanfic!
January 6th, 2012 05:54
That’s more like how I imagine Tesla to cackle.
Everytime he says something evil, lightning appears out of nowhere and kindles the sky.
January 6th, 2012 05:54
Giant pancakes are so serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 05:58
Fine. Maybe one giant pancake on the train ride that Deryn, Singe, and Alek split. And Bovril. That would be one GIANT pancake. You’re welcome.
January 6th, 2012 05:59
YAY! MAKE THEM BELGIAN PANCAKES! WITH SYRUP IN THE MIDDLE! AND BOVRIL MAKES A SMILEY FACE OUT OF BANANAS ON IT! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 06:02
I lent Goliath to my friend and when I saw her reading during lunch and I started cackling/crying like some sorta crazed maniac. All my friends were looking at me funny which just made me cackle/laugh even more. Which just made them stare at me even more. It was kinda a never ending cycle.
January 6th, 2012 06:02
It never is.
January 6th, 2012 06:03
I realized that the grammar on that last comment was wrong. Forgive me.
January 6th, 2012 06:03
I was only aware of Belgian waffles. But Belgian pancakes, you say? They happen to be on an English train, though, so Belgian pancakes would be a bit out of nationality. But the banana smiley face could still happen.
January 6th, 2012 06:04
Make it Swedish pancakes.
January 6th, 2012 06:07
@1213-I did that when I saw
My best friend reading uglies….I miss the days when I was reading the series or te first time…*sobs*
UGLIES LIVES
January 6th, 2012 06:07
…Swedish pancakes…in England?
January 6th, 2012 06:10
I remember when I was reading LBG for the first time…*fangirl sob* so…sad!
January 6th, 2012 06:13
@1219- Yes! Did you know that Sweden was one of the only major powers that stayed neutral during both of the WW’s?
January 6th, 2012 06:16
@1220- When I first read Behemoth (the first one i read) I was at first “Well I’ll read it but it looks kinda lame…” But then I began reading it and I didn’t do anything else that day; I just read ALL DAY! Then I bought Goliath on my kindle fire. AND I LOVED IT!!!!!
January 6th, 2012 06:17
Hmm. Thank you for that helpful bit of information, it will be put to use, maybe for more reason than the pancakes.
January 6th, 2012 06:17
Or British TEA AND CRUMPETS! Or FISH AND CHIPS!
January 6th, 2012 06:19
Wait, you read Leviathan, and then thought that Behemoth looked lame? I’m so confused…
January 6th, 2012 06:22
Oh, wait. You read Behemoth first?
January 6th, 2012 06:23
No, I got Behemoth for free from the library’s teens read three get one free thing, where you write reviews of three books and you get a free book. I read B then G and lastly L.
January 6th, 2012 06:24
I think that L is the worst one. And Goliath is the AWESOMEST EVER!
January 6th, 2012 06:25
But, I also think they all ROCK! But G is the best.
January 6th, 2012 06:26
Leviathan WAS SO GOOD! But they gained awesomeness as the books went by.
January 6th, 2012 06:26
I didn’t really think so… but Goliath did set the bar pretty high.
January 6th, 2012 06:27
I didn’t really think so… but Goliath did set the bar pretty high. Yeah.
January 6th, 2012 06:27
Blisters, I wish our library did that! It sounds so cool! Get paid in books to read books!
I dunno which one I like the best… they’re all so overwhelmingly awesome to me! Maybe I should read them a few more times and then decide…
January 6th, 2012 06:27
DANG IT! The computer was right; I repeated myself.
January 6th, 2012 06:30
Aye, you did repeat yourself. And isn’t that kind of what Ronnie said? First was L, then B, then G, gaining awesomeness as they went? ANd if you said G was the best, then B, then L, it’s the same thing!
January 6th, 2012 06:39
Hallo? Where did everyone go?
January 6th, 2012 06:39
sorry I keep saying this but it’s true….………………… UGLIES LIVES!!!!
January 6th, 2012 06:43
Well, someone’s here…
January 6th, 2012 06:55
I’m here!
January 6th, 2012 07:06
Oh, sure. NOW you are!
January 6th, 2012 07:09
Wait, you’re not simplyRonnie anymore! What is the meaning of this?
January 6th, 2012 07:16
‘Night, everyone. Middy Miles out!
January 6th, 2012 07:25
Night!
January 6th, 2012 07:37
‘Night!
January 6th, 2012 07:38
Hey, how ya doin Sophie?
January 6th, 2012 17:43
@1245- grate!!!How bout you??
January 6th, 2012 18:40
Stellar spelling skills, there, Sorley.
January 6th, 2012 19:17
@1247-I know I am amazing aren’t I?
January 6th, 2012 21:38
I’m good. Actually, grate! I am really psyched to go SKIING! I know I have been (sorta) bragging about this. I am (sorta) a bragger. Please forgive me.
January 6th, 2012 22:09
@Miles- You CAN quote me on that.
January 6th, 2012 22:13
So ya know how there is a new Danial Radcliffe movie (“Woman in Black”)? Well I don’t think I will be able to see him as anybody as a flaky version of a 12 year old Harry Potter. Yeah, I just tried. NOT easy.
January 6th, 2012 22:15
Although I must say. It looks interesting. He is a barking good actor.
January 6th, 2012 23:17
I retract my former statement. Without the glasses I can no longer think of him as Harry Potter.
January 7th, 2012 00:32
@Melissa- Please tell me when you are done the fanfic. I want to read it all at once.
January 7th, 2012 00:50
I don’t like Harry Potter…
I can’t wait until November!!!!!!!!!!!
UGLIES LIVES
January 7th, 2012 01:11
I don’t like Harry Potter either.
@ 1241- I have many a personality.
January 7th, 2012 01:24
Wow you guys. You are going against the entire population of American bookies. And why can’t you wait till November?
January 7th, 2012 01:26
I meant bookdorkies. I hate/love spellcheck.
January 7th, 2012 02:03
@1075- Sophie and Sorley are the same person.
January 7th, 2012 02:03
@1257-because that’s when the uglies movie comes out!!!eepp can’t wait!!!!
UGLIES LIVES
January 7th, 2012 02:13
I enjoy your enthusiam but it is KILLING ME AS A LEVIATHANEER! Leviathan is. OVER.
January 7th, 2012 02:17
I will say it again
UGLIES LIVES
There is the series, 2 books about the series,and soon to be a manga and a movie
January 7th, 2012 02:23
Well I tried to make it last as long as possible…..I finished GOLIATH (remember I said that all caps emphasizes things) such a wonderful ending my applause to you Scott-la……..hate to disappoint but I still like uglies better….
UGLIES LIVES
January 7th, 2012 02:34
@Sophie- There’s a movie? Did I miss something?
January 7th, 2012 02:36
Here are the stats for various comment numbers (subject to change).
Sorley/Sophie-166 M@X-18 Josh/Jocklyn-1, Clanker Rose/Ray-56
I counted all comments on FAF-Please Enjoy Some Croy.
January 7th, 2012 02:36
@1264-there will be soon!!
January 7th, 2012 02:40
I can’t believe this. My math teacher saw me lending Goliath to my friend and she looked at it and she asked if that was the same guy who wrote uglies. I told her it was but it was from a different series and she goes “Really? I didn’t know he wrote anything else.” Isn’t it sad that Mr. Westerfeld isn’t even best known for the most fabulous piece of writing in the world!?! But, on a happier note, I did see Behemoth displayed largely at half-price books.
January 7th, 2012 02:41
@1266- You mean they are currently making one? *sceptically* Or do you predict that there will be one?
January 7th, 2012 02:45
@1268-in the process of making one
January 7th, 2012 02:46
@1265- what?!
January 7th, 2012 02:49
@1267-sorry to say but you are wrong on that one,uglies is obviously the best specials is the best to be more specific….
UGLIES LIVES!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡

@1270- If you wish to check, by all means be my guest, but be forewarned: It is tedious work.
January 7th, 2012 03:17
@1269- I shall look it up on imbd.
January 7th, 2012 03:18
@1271- I have on thing to say: I believe in freedom of speech. You may think whatEVER you wish to think.
January 7th, 2012 03:19
My lord. They really are making a uglies movie. Harsh. And a fair bit legit as well.
January 7th, 2012 03:35
Hey, I posted chapter 5 on my blog. It explains the loving TV don’t worry.
January 7th, 2012 03:38
@1275-told ya! So can’t wait!!On this website I also read that PRETTIES and most importantly SPECIALS are also gonna be made into movies!!!
January 7th, 2012 03:45
@1185 YOU BE WRITING A FANFIC????? (Can I play????)
January 7th, 2012 03:49
@12278- Uh, yeah she is! And what does “Can I play????” mean?
@1277- Which website?
January 7th, 2012 03:58
YES! I can now pronounce the whole upper case Greek alphabet. now all I need to do is memorize the order…
January 7th, 2012 04:18
And I can (with help from the dictionary) spell “Lauren rules” and “LAUREN RULES” and, of course, “lauren rules” in Greek letters!!!
January 7th, 2012 04:23
:ninja:
January 7th, 2012 04:23
DANG IT! that didn’t work as I’m sure you can tell.
January 7th, 2012 04:27
I can also spell “Goliath ROX” there’s no “c” in the Greek alphabet.. Btw I will stop telling you all the things I can spell. I just wanted to tell you that one.
January 7th, 2012 04:28
@1279-this website! (the website we are on this very second)
January 7th, 2012 04:36
So how did we get from Uglies movies to Fanfics to Greek alphabet?
Hi, I’m back.
You know SHERBET? It’s pronouced “sure-bay”. So shouldn’t the alphabet be pronounced “alpha-bay?”
That is all for my nonsensical ramblings.
January 7th, 2012 04:46
What? Sherbert is pronounced “sure-bert” not “sure-bay” Sorbet on the other hand is pronounced “sore-bay”
January 7th, 2012 04:48
And we moved through that by Sophie yapping on about uglies (that was meant as a joke btw) and then Rose read that Lissa writes fanfic and then I said that I am learning Greek.
January 7th, 2012 04:49
THAT’S WHAT IT IS!
Sorry.
Wow. I AM a useless prince.
Minus the prince part.
January 7th, 2012 04:49
@Sophie- I just searched it on goggle and saw that, thanks though.
January 7th, 2012 04:49
Learn Latin. It’s ten times as cool. And referency.
January 7th, 2012 04:49
You are a useless (useful) engineer.
January 7th, 2012 04:50
Yeah but in Percy Jackson they speak Greek. And Leo speaks Greek.
January 7th, 2012 04:52
I know you are going to say “but Jason speaks Latin!” I think Jason is a bit like Harry Potter. A stuck-up, arrogant, “I’m the best” faceless hero. I like Leo MUCH better.
January 7th, 2012 04:52
@ 1292- I am, as a Clanker.
@ 1293- But Alek speaks Latin! That has to count for something!
January 7th, 2012 04:53
Now don’t get me wrong, I love the Harry Potter books and I love the Lost Hero, it’s just that those two are not my type.
January 7th, 2012 04:54
@ 1294- Never read Percy Jackson, sorry.
January 7th, 2012 04:54
I will give you a list of the languages I want to learn
1. Greek
2. Austrian (which Alek doesn’t even speak, the waste of hydrogen)
3. Latin
January 7th, 2012 04:54
98!
January 7th, 2012 04:55
EEEP!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2012 04:55
Wow. And you don’t like Harry Potter? You are a strange one.
January 7th, 2012 04:55
Nice.
January 7th, 2012 04:56
Greek and Latin aren’t spoken anymore. They’re used for medecine and classification of species and science. You can’t really learn to communicate in them. You can only study them.
And German is AWESOME!
January 7th, 2012 04:57
Here is a list of languages I want to speak my the time I go to college.
1. English (I already speak it)
2. French (I also speak it)
3. Greek
4. Austrian
5. Latin
January 7th, 2012 04:58
Do you know how much easier all languages are when you speak Greek and Latin? And I also want to study some languages during college.
January 7th, 2012 04:59
Greek and Latin are valuable languages to be fluent in. And also in Greece they speak Greek!
January 7th, 2012 05:00
Well, Latin and Greek ARE root languages, I suppose. That is if I’m not incorrect. Which does not happen often.
January 7th, 2012 05:02
You are correct. You can know what more words mean in English if you speak those two.
January 7th, 2012 05:03
I can figure out a good deal of words because in 4th and 5th grade my teacher had us study a bunch of roots, prefixes and suffixes.
January 7th, 2012 05:08
I am already fluent in two languages. So. There. They are:
English and sarcasm.
January 7th, 2012 05:10
MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
BTW, Sorley, my brother wants me to punch you in the face for saying Uglies is better that LBG. *Punches Sorley in the face* Take that!
January 7th, 2012 05:13
UGLIES LIVES
And Ronnie how could you not read Percy Jackson?!?!?!
January 7th, 2012 05:13
Oh, so you decided to leave just because I showed up? Thanks, guys. So much. *Sniffle* I guess I’ll just reload the page constantly and write Fanfic, which will be depressing as it reflects my mood!
January 7th, 2012 05:13
@Miles- Wow. That is… interesting… I would say I am still learning sarcasm. But I’m pretty close! Seriously? You should hear me talking to my sister. I am HILARIOUS! My parents don’t agree.
January 7th, 2012 05:13
Oh, hi there, Sorley. I didn’t see you there *looks away*
January 7th, 2012 05:14
There have been four comments in the last minute…
January 7th, 2012 05:17
@1312- That’s what I thought! At one point I memorized a part of it, lets see if I can remember: “‘Do you love me?” Luke asked. Annabeth glanced at Percy, who was standing, watching them.
‘You were like a brother to me Luke, but I never loved you.’” I think that was it… That was probably wrong though.
January 7th, 2012 05:18
That’s harsh.
January 7th, 2012 05:18
I gotta go to skating
/ 
Bye guys!
January 7th, 2012 05:22
BYE!
January 7th, 2012 05:23
@ MILES! SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!
January 7th, 2012 05:25
@ 1310- HA! ME TOO! Oh, that was barking HILARIOUS! I’m fluent in American and stupid.
Well…… That makes only one language.
Not that Americans aren’t smart.
But we just aren’t….. Proper.
At least Kentucky isn’t.
Or so stereotypes claim.
January 7th, 2012 05:27
OH, so now I’M ALONE!
January 7th, 2012 05:29
Actually, that’s good. Because that means you are WRITING! So my bottomless pit of want will slowly but surely be somewhat filled.
January 7th, 2012 05:31
Actually, Mom got home and needed help unloading groceries. Sorry.
January 7th, 2012 05:34
It’s alright. A big part of a good daughter (or son, I suppose) is helping parents unload groceries.
January 7th, 2012 05:34
Blisters, guys, LBG has infiltrated my life. All my notes for school have references in them.
January 7th, 2012 05:35
That’s awesome! On my orchestra test, I drew a picture of a fat happy Levithan getting shot at by a Clanker plane and the German is saying “Die you vermin!”
January 7th, 2012 05:36
For example: Advanced Physical Science:
Synthesis: Combination of 2+ substances to form a new substance. Example teacher gave; A+B ->AB. Example I wrote down; Deryn+Alek->Dalek (and there are sooo many more where that came from. I can say them if you want)
MUAHAHA! And don’t even get me started on my history notes. We’re doing WWI.
January 7th, 2012 05:37
Refresh. Refesh again. Refresh a third time.
January 7th, 2012 05:38
@ 1329- WW1? Awesome! In eighth grade we did WW2.
January 7th, 2012 05:39
@1329. *sighs*. Scott (my brother) doesn’t like you anymore because you’re a Clanker. Sorry. Quote: “She is stupid and I hate her”
January 7th, 2012 05:40
I think that to refresh the page you have to hit the “refresh” button, not just type it several times…
January 7th, 2012 05:40
@ 1332- Oh, thanks! Yeah, he’s a barking friendly dummkopf!
January 7th, 2012 05:41
@ 1332- ‘Blisters! He barely even knows me!’ or something along that lines of when Lilit kissed Deryn. Or Dylan, I suppose. No. It was Deryn.
January 7th, 2012 05:41
1333- Your sarcasm is very fluent.
January 7th, 2012 05:42
I love my smiley face’s eyebrows!
January 7th, 2012 05:43
January 7th, 2012 05:46
*sighs* Wait. I heard something about kissing. DOES THAT MEAN YOU KISSED MY BROTHER???? *Shudders* Ew.
January 7th, 2012 05:48
@ 1339- Ummm….. BARKING NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a REFERENCE. JUST a reference.
January 7th, 2012 05:50
Did you see my smiley faces’ eyebrows?
January 7th, 2012 05:52
Yes, Ronnie, I saw them. And good. References only.
January 7th, 2012 05:54
Ugh. I’m doing homework right now. I have LOADS because I’ve been gone for the last 3 days. Well, 2 full days and 2 half days. Stupid barking wisdom teeth!
January 7th, 2012 05:54
1342- yeah… That was incredibly awkward….. I am still RAKIRK. ONLY Rakirk.
January 7th, 2012 05:57
Gotta go for about 20 minutes. Dinner. Bye!
January 7th, 2012 05:59
Adios!
January 7th, 2012 06:04
I forgot to reply to your comment (@ 187) under “A Musical Interlude”. I just did. Sorry.
January 7th, 2012 06:05
So how’s life?
January 7th, 2012 06:05
Me?
January 7th, 2012 06:11
Yes
January 7th, 2012 06:14
No, me! Well, life for me is okay… other people in my family not so much.
January 7th, 2012 06:14
Oh. I’m cool. EYEBROWS! I mean, seriously, how many smiley faces do you know that have eyebrows?
January 7th, 2012 06:17
@ 1351- I’m sorry. I hope everything’s okay. Read my comment in AMI!
January 7th, 2012 06:17
One, two, three, four…um…, oh yeah five, six…
January 7th, 2012 06:18
January 7th, 2012 06:19
@1353. I did. ANd I will quote you on that if there ever comes a time when I wish to boost his ego.(Not likely)
Unfortunately, it’s not. My grandpa got diagnosed with very terminal lung cancer that’s spread basically everywhere. He’s got less than a year at best.
Sorry to shove that on you.
January 7th, 2012 06:21
@1356-omg I’m so sorry!
January 7th, 2012 06:23
1356- Oh my barking spiders. That is terrible. I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.
January 7th, 2012 06:23
Yeah… it hit us like a brick.
January 7th, 2012 06:24
And at Christmas. That makes it extra clarty.
January 7th, 2012 06:27
Hey, I just posted chapter 9. I’m currently working on 10, so it may be a while.
January 7th, 2012 06:28
And you still have the time to write fanfiction! You are one midshipman, Mr. Miles.
January 7th, 2012 06:29
@1360-I’m so sorry
January 7th, 2012 06:31
@ 1361- OOOOOOOH, Alek is going to be so barking MAD!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2012 06:33
Hmph. Thanks, guys. I appreciate your implied sincerity. Writing fanfiction keeps my mind off of it. I also may or may not be shaving my head (along with the rest of my family) in support of him. I’ll definitely post a picture if that happens.
January 7th, 2012 06:34
@ 1365- I will too. In spirit, of course.
January 7th, 2012 06:35
@1364. He doesn’t quite know yet. But he will, and then…
January 7th, 2012 06:37
I love the “UGLIES LIVES” in case you haven’t noticed
If you have read my fav book in the world SPECIALS then you will remember when the smokey girl said “the smoke lives” that’s where I got that from. They say that in all the books though…….but SPECIALS is my fav so I will refer to SPECIALS
January 7th, 2012 06:37
No, I said UGLIES LIVES! Remember?
January 7th, 2012 06:38
@ 1367- WHEN? WHERE? HOW? Will he finally start being intelligent again and figure it out by himself?
January 7th, 2012 06:39
@ Middy Miles-I’m so sorry,I don’t know what else to say
January 7th, 2012 06:40
@1369-no I don’t remember sorry…..say it again I love it
January 7th, 2012 06:41
@ 1371- There is nothing much I CAN say.
January 7th, 2012 06:41
And I said, “It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday! Everybody’s looking forward to the weekend…”
Oh, wait, no. That was Rebecca Black.
January 7th, 2012 06:44
@ 1372- “Please Enjoy Some Croy” Comment 17.
@ 1374- I’m waiting for FAF! AHHH!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2012 06:45
@1371. You don’t have to say anything. I dumped it on you, and you don’t even know if I’m actually me or a creepy old stalker lady, so we can be done with the subject. It’s my barking clart to deal with, not yours.
@1370. You’ll see. You will see.
January 7th, 2012 06:47
I’m waiting for FAF, too! BUt I have a strange feeling it will not happen. *sadface* I want to know if my Newkirk FanArt will get posted!
January 7th, 2012 06:47
@ 1376- I HAVE seen your blog, so….. And creepy stalker ladies wouldn’t admit they were.
January 7th, 2012 06:51
Waiting for FAF…
January 7th, 2012 06:54
I know! Come, come, my pretty!
January 7th, 2012 06:55
Eheh. That’s what you think. They can be tricky things, those old ladies. But I swear I’m not one, though. Cross my heart.
January 7th, 2012 06:59
Speaking of creepy old ladies, on my trip to Europe with People to People, we were walking across the street in Rome, and then some demented lady hauls off and slaps two of the delegates, one of them my friend. It was both scary and funny at the same time. More funny later, though.
January 7th, 2012 07:00
NEWKIRK IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! AT FAF!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2012 07:05
GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2012 07:07
Ok!!!
January 7th, 2012 07:07
I’m going!!!
January 7th, 2012 07:19
Should we chat there or here?
January 8th, 2012 00:48
There goodbye my FAF goodbye my uglies pic on the web
January 9th, 2012 06:15
Hey! Sorry I haven’t been on here; I’ve had a busy weekend.
January 10th, 2012 01:11
Ollo!
January 10th, 2012 17:35
Going to a UGLIES post
January 16th, 2012 22:03
@9 (Rachel)
Sorry LONG time. It was funny Deryn had like no idea what the hell was going on. And I only saw 2 songs, the first one was Alek singing about his love for the Leviathan…it was horrifying…then it jumped to where Lilit was singing about the Revolution, THAT was okay…right when the song started playing Deryn was like, “Barking spiders, not again.” Then I went outside the theater and their was an old telephone booth outside and I called Scott and complained and I walked back in and it was a normal movie and it jumped to the point where Lilit kisses Deryn then (my alarm clock as like random, annoying voices to wake me up) a cowboy came in *which was my alarm clock* and started talking and I relized it was my alarm clock and I woke up. The end.
January 19th, 2012 03:21
I love Uglies I’m reading Specials. It took me about two weeks to read this much. I wonder what Extras is going to be about, my sister Tatum-wa said it was really stupido (stupid in Italian) But I’m still going to read it. for the Hunger Games lovers out here do you think that the Uglies series is better or the Hunger Games?Just wondering I think that the Uglies series is better.
The #1 Hunger Games, I mean Uglies fan,
Carter-la
March 26th, 2012 20:45
For the adventure is out there one the caoption could be :
“Oh btw, I’m a girl and I’m madly in love with you…”
Explaining the shame in her face and the compleate Suprise on his!
