Many Specials

Okay, still at World Fantasy. Lots of cool YA authors here. Mostly have been hanging out with Garth Nix and the rest of the Aussie contingent, and keep running into Holly Black and Cassie Claire, who turn out to be in the same hotel as me.

More later on con activities, but first lots of Halloween cossies to share. From the Uglies books, this from Jamie and Nona:

And Tamir (too old to trick or treat, but went for the Special treatment anyway):

And finally Ally B. From Arkansas, who also dressed up to take some littlies out:

And this interpretation of Shay’s “nest of snakes” tattoo, from Colorific:

And Tara-wa as a Cutter:

And a trio of hoverboarding Smokies:

And from the Midnighters side of things, a darkling-proof pumpkin!

And Dess and Melissa:

Sorry if I missed anybody, I’m darting in and out of my hotel room. Hope you had great Halloweens!

  1. I love them… I was interested to see that no one found the same temp tattoo I used. Guess these peeps are more creative. ^__^ Brill.

  3. P.S.-ness

    And I have gotten a friend to read Uglies- she’s hooked! Hopefully she’ll be able to find the second one… We prolly only have (seriously x__x) around six copies in my whole town.

  4. Yay, we got posted! Love everyone’s costumes, especially Tamir’s makeup and the Midnighters pumpkin.

    Have fun at World Fantasy, Scott!

  5. How do you send the pictures. If you go to contact up top, it says to send it to scottwesterfeld.com and it doesnt work! I tried but it doesnt work! Plz, tell me how!

    ok this will not turn into a long post like one of my other long posts

  8. Sweet costumes!!

    Man today i was at my school’s book fair (last day. Who’s a procrastinator?) and there were no copies of Uglies left! And only one copy of Pretties and Specials!! Like five people in line with me to check out had Uglies/Pretties/Specials. I need to buy Uglies – yes…very soon. I got it from me library when i read it. I got Pretties in the same trip (to the library) so that cliff-hanger ending didn’t really bother me. Except that I had to start at the very beginning of the second book in a series when author-dudes explain all the stuff that happened in the first book. Which really bothers me because WHY WOULD YOU READ THE SECOND BOOK WITHOUT READING THE FIRST!!!!! But then I had to go buy Specials because my library didn’t have it. And it was like…20 dollars. It took me like 4 days to read the whole series (minus Extras, of course). I finished Specials the second-last day of school. it was torture because I had to take three hour exams with it under my desk, begging to be read…

    Geez this is a long post. sorry.

    *ramblings end here.*

  9. You send it to scott at scottwesterfeld.com, but replace the at with @. It should work that way. Is that how you did it, Bran-la? If not well…something is messed up.

  10. and cut the spaces out between scott and scottwesterfeld.com or it won’t work. so…scott at scottwesterfeld.com minus the ‘ at ‘, spaces and all. 🙂

  11. hi im back but i gtg so ttfn my peeps stay cool
    13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13
    i figured out why the darklings r scared of the number 13
    i will post it tomarrow 😈 to make all of u wait
    i am soooo mean arent i hahahahahahaha

    Steh-la over+out
    i heart flyboy dont you 😆 ❓ 🙂 ❗ 😈 🙁 😥

  12. does anyone else see what is wrong with the sentece on the main page of scott’s site? it says “Extras the fourth book in the Uglies trilogy is now out.”
    Uhh… a trilogy has THREE books, so extras is NOT the fourth book in the TRILOGY. It isn’t even a trilogy any more.

  13. Oh no i’m so stupid i don’t know what happened I didn’t mean for the actual e-mail address to come out is there a way to delete it!! ahhhh!! I’m so sorry how did that happen omg.

  14. wow, their special tattoos were a little better than mine. but still, i drew mine myself, and i’m one of the most terrible artists in the world, and they came out great (in my opinion). my school has a costume bash tonight, so i should probably start getting ready for that, even though it doesn’t start til 9. my stupid black nail polish is cheap, and chipped almost all the way off, even though i put it on right before trick or treating. anyway, i got nothing more to say. bye!!!

  15. Thanks for the compliments! I had my husband draw with eyeliner on my face and he tried to copy the tattoo on the cover of Specials. But you can only see so much so he improvised and he did a really good job..and then I finished it with some personal touches.

    Everyone looks great in their costumes! Cool pumpkin and hoverboard too!
    Yay for Halloween! Can’t wait for next year.

  16. whoa, Tamir-la!! you actually don’t look old enough to be married!! scott wrote “too old to go trick or treating” and i’m like, what does he mean?? i guess it’s major complimenting day for me!

  17. Steph-la from the last page i was dess i love dess im wearing the shirt now lol

    if i wouldnt havee moved i bet i could have gotten my friend to be a special with me

  18. you dont look old enogh to be married, lol, but good tattoo. I am going to send in my pics, i hope scott can still put it up!

  19. hehe. very foolio. i have to post my costume on my blog. i have yet to do so. im wondering if Melissa is Serafina-la…suspicions…

    by the way. i did my flash tatoos in sharpie and now everybody in the scool nose about them. and there all like “hey Lizzy, the flash tatoos still havent come off.” and im like “thats the point!” hehe. im funny-making. its very icy tho. theres this one guy in my class and everytime he sees me he turns around to someone and says “Lizzy’s going SPECIAL and shes starting to creep me out.” hehe. spooky-making…

    -Lizzy-wa OUT! 😛

  20. no, that’s not me. my costume was much cooler. no, jk. that’s a great costume, whoever.

    i’m ttly gonna download my pics tonight and i will flickr them. i will show them to you all tommorrow possibly.

    u can tell the difference cuz my hair is pink. actually no, in the pics it’s like brown/bleach blond and right now it’s pink/brown/blond/grape purple. my hair color is vaguely schitzophrenic.
