Ha, first comment, unless, at this very moment, someone else is commenting at the same time as me.
Ah, So Yesterday. I haven’t read that in forever. I am so going have to buy it now.

Really weird. I just read So Yesterday and was thinking the same thing. (About the election.) o.O

lol….that be hilarious.

the Missing Black Woman Formation really is everywhere….

hey Scott-la, i ttly sent you something else awesome and So Yesterdayish. should post it. was freaky.

like today in bio when we were talking about how you could genetically engineer bacteria to clean up oil spills…
by eating it.
how rusty is that?……

dude, i’m taking a survey.
SECRET KITTY. good band name?
i will not give my opinion on the matter.

HAHHH.

*hem*

Sorry. Very interesting, valid points. But the parting (Parthian?) shot was just brilliant.

*well-meaning snicker*

I actually thought about those same exact examples when i read that book for the first time a couple of months ago! insane!

its totally true though - and the republican bit is pure GOLD.
DFTBA

Pfft, forget Agent Smith. NEO FOR PRESIDENT!

But seriously, that MBW thing is really common.

ahh Scott it is everywhere!! when i read so yesterday i thought about that for like EVER before reading some more

Wow, that made my day Thanks for taking my mind off of auditions. I will go alert the masses of the missing-black-woman formation. Another person named Hiro in Scott’s books…

dddddddaaaaaaarrrrrrrrnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! k. 11

Eh…. Sometimes I think that there should be a missing Mexican formation with are population growing with more Mexicans.

Whoot.

first comment cool.

Hey, that’s me with the tattoos! Too bad they didn’t last too long. I had a GREAT time for the signing. It was totally worth the hour drive.

aww man it was comment 3

OHHH YA comment 2

but i wanted to say that was an awsome tattoo thingy, love it, want it, jeleaous, for 2 reasons, she gets an awsom tattoo thing and you havent come to my city or state, now scott-la, how are we to appreciate your fabulous books if you dont come here, i have, wait let me count, 10 or more ppl i no at my school alone who are reading your books, you see, you have to come, before we forget abouit you, and i would ahte to see that happen scott-la, so plz, plz, come here! (texas)

Oh, cool!! the laces from So Yesterday! I kept trying to imagine them but I couldn’t so that pic is cool.

the tatoos are awesome!!! As were the shoelaces, I never could get mine to look quite like that, no matter how much I tried, lol. Totally kick!!

wow! those laces are fawsome!

fawesome tatoos..i never remember my dreams.. otherwise id have about a million amazing quotes. i should so do that to my shoes.. and only really devoted fans will have any idea where it came from..

Ah man now i have to do try to do that to my laces…

OMG SWEET TATOOS!! I WANT THEM!! Okay, jealousy gone.

Blech, waking up THAT early. Bad parts about planes. Blech (again)

Kadie-Wa

dude, those tatoos are sweet.
No serouisly, they totally rock.

p.s. scott come to ohio

those face tats are so kick!!!! i love em and i love the laces. they never worked for me either. and the shirt is fawesome!

nice tattoos!

i actually did that to my shoes once. i was bored and waiting in an airport with new sneakers. then i took a picture of them on my cell phone. i am such a geek.

my dreams are either intensly creepy or they make no sense. or a combination of the two.

awwwww…..too many posts. now i have to click on past entries to get to the extras spoiler page. or go to faves.

lol i just noticed that scott signed the so yesterday shoes.
the ones i tried only worked cuz they were very odd slip-on sneakers. but i did it through some roundabout way only accessible at very early in the morning while watching CNN at newark airport. which would really not be too far from your current state, tour-author. but mine are tied very illogically, and they go to the same side on both feet, not opposite like they should. also, they’re light green laces on green shoes, so yeah. now i use them as my gym sneakers and no one has noticed the laceage yet.

OMG i attampted to do that to my shoes. Well thought about it. The shoelaces wouldnt all fit and I wouldnt even think of taking sissors to my converse.

I’ve never seen those shoes before. And I haven’t read So Yesterday yet, is that a big part of So Yesterday?? Or am I totally missing somthing?

Kadie-Wa

it’s, like, the point of so yesterday. but it’s not really the shoes. it’s the laces. or like, how you tie the laces. long story. in fact, it’s a story called So Yesterday. so basically, just read the book and that explains it.
for example, the first line of the book is
“Can i take a picture of your shoe?”

LOVE the flash tatoos Cyndy-la! totally icy! and how on this crazed planet do ya do that with the shoolaces?! i wanna do that!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

OMG i spent like an hour trying to do those laces….but i cudnt get it to work…im so jelous!

be afraid. i was bored and searched through all the past posts and the one that mentioned uglies being optioned as a movie said it was….wait for it…..by the same people who made eragon.
no offense to any of those people, you are surely great and talented.
but……eragon sucked. it wasn’t exactly a great book, and the movie adaptation was even worse. on many levels. the most superficial of which (and the only ones i can remember thanks to convenient blocking of painful memories) are an avril lavigne themesong that clashes horribly and a supposed-to-be-meaningful shot of eragon and a sunset that was stolen frame for frame from star wars. also, durza’s fingernails scared me and there was very little in the way of a coherent plot.
but no offense if you liked it. just my opinion.
still gives me less hope of a good uglies adaptation…….though eragon bombed so bad, i doubt there’s much investing in something similar. maybe they’ll do uglies right. hopefully. please. please, god, please.

Wow, I feel like I haven’t been on here in forever!
Even though it’s only been a few days; haha.

Those tatooes are incredibly amazing!
And I really want to learn how to tie my shoes like that, but I’d probably end up tying a few fingers together, cutting off the circulation, and having to have them amputated.
Shoelaces and I don’t get along very well. I tend to leave my shoes tied and just slip out of them, and I only re-tie them when it’s absolutely necessary.

I wish I lived near one of the tour stops! It’d be so totally fool to get a picture on here.

4:55? *dies*
If I had to wake up that early, I’d probably kill the first person who talked to me. The only time I’ve ever been up earlier than that was when my friends convinced me that it’d be a good idea to try and go to Six Flags on some special day during Spring Break where you got in free before 9:00AM. We were in the car and everything, on our way there, and then we hear on the radio that THEY CLOSED THE FREAKING PARK.
I was so mad.

Those shoes are tight! lol i actually thought about doing that after i read the book but im just to lazy

Thanks for all the tattoo praise! It’s much appreciated. Too bad I don’t remember where I got it…

I had some converse that I did the shoelace thing with. I had to costume make the laces and remove the eyelets. I was really, really, bored….

I LOVE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WALKING AROUND WITH SHOES LACED UP LIKE THAT! PEOPLE ALWAYS GIVE ME FUNNY LOOKS! I LOVE SHUGRRL!

It only took me 15 minutes. I didn’t have to remove the eyelets though, I just used really old frayed laces.

Good! NYC! Can’t wait to see you!

Oh, I want those shoes so badly. O_O Made of awesome.
And those tattoos are so jokes!

i cant figure out the laces!

but omygosh! are they seriously making the movie from the same PEEPS that mad eragon?! are you serious!? they are such bubbleheads! talk about brain-missing! they were total logic-missing! i’ll bet none of them even read the book! uuuhhhggg! horribleness.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

I totally agree how it is so mad-making.

I didn’t even like Eragon the movie — Never read the book but HAS to be more exciting then that.

yes. i saw you there! you were rite behind me in the Scott-la line! yep. i remember that.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

hi
i love the tats

hi steph-la

i like movies but i dont want them to make one because then ill watch it, and if i watch it i will only picture the characters that way not the way i see them, and ill picture the town diffretn than they did, and i hate how they make zane all goth and stuff, it just doesnt seem like him to me, i mean he has a good look but i mean come one, hes not like emo like cutters, and he doesnt dress goth so wat up with that, i dont no but it annoys the crap out of me!

i think zane was goth in the book, or that’s how i saw him.
and not all people who dress goth or emo are cutters! don’t generalize!
they never said he DIDN’T dress goth. so if they never mentioned how he dressed, it could have been goth to go with his black hair and superintense pale surge.
do you have a problem with goths?
they’re awesome. (hmmm….should that be a we or a they?…)
srry to get all crazy on you. i defend my gothic bretheren.

and sadly, the book was not much better. it was a sort of cliched plot, and it was so stiffly written. i liked it a lot in like fourth and fifth grade, then tried to reread it in seventh and i was like, this sentance structure is painful. (i’m talking about eragon, btw)

i think the main problem was that the kid wrote it really young (not that young writers aren’t awesome! i count as one, and so do most of my friends) and didn’t edit it enough before he self-published and eventually got it picked up. i mean, it had good parts, but it was pretty stiff.

but i lost sympathy when eldest came out. that book was HORRIBLE. had none of the good parts of eragon, all of the stiff dialouge. *shiver at memory*

and the movie…….well what can i say that hasn’t been said?

i sorta cheated on my laces……i had them going through more than one on the other side. i put all ten or so laces into three on the other side so you got the same look but less cutting of eyelets

Thanks for the review — I am NOT gunna read the book.

Don’t wanna waste more time –

no i have nothing against goths, thats just not how i pictured him, i pictured him more, i dont no how to explain it,ive seen illistations of him goth and to be honest hes hot, but i didnt think of him like that, it wasnt his personality.

again, he looked hot kinda gothy, really hot!

but im not goth and i dont like goths, i dont have anything wrong with them, i mean there like me but diffrent u no, but i just felt i should point that out.

Is the Uglies trilogy movie gonna have open auditions for the part of Tally? Like auditions for people without agents? Thanks soooo much you guys ar awesome! =) Also, links would be great.. For people without agents. Thanks and I already emailed Scott Westerfeld but I know he can reply better on his blog.. Totally icey =)of the book. Also, do you know websites that say if there are going to be auditions open to the public? Is there an age thing like only 14 years old or whatever? I’m not 14 but still lol. Also, is there going to be a 5th Uglies book? Or a 4rth Midnighters book? If there is a 5th midnighters book can it pretty pretty please be about tallywa??? Thanks and please answer all my questions! thanks guys.

Sholelaces are coolio!

when i said i didnt like goths i meant i dont like them as in u like ppl like i like guys u no, yeah, i should just shut up!

hi

i am about to go

haha that ryms

PLEASE COME TO HOUSTON TEXAS SCOTT-LA

It’s me! Shugrrl!

I read So Yesterday in 7th grade {3 years ago} and thought that those laces were so fawesome. I’ve always wanted to do them. In 8th grade I used the blue laces that came with my shoes to do it…but it wasn’t the same. Just this past year I was able to get some red laces, and voila! I know they’re not fuzzy, like it says in the book, but at least they’re red. And it was hard enough getting the laces through only 2 holes {I cut myself a few times}, I can’t imagine shoving them in 1!

I encourage everyone who can to try this out. Jammers represent! Yea-ah!

Oh wow. I lvoe those laces> I gotta try that sometime

i still have to read the book after i read MAGIC OR MADNESS. i just finished EXTRAS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

Buahah!
Its shugrrl’s bestest friend.
Who was also there.
YEAH you spelled something wrong on my book. and then fixed it! yayy

anywho.
Shugrrl’s real name is Maggie.
Andd she can send you proof cos she has pictures with the shoes. haha.

so yeahh

is there going to be a movie? Please have open auditions for tally! Please! Has anyone heard of anything?

I NEED U TO COME HERE!!!! JUST 1 BOOK SIGNING!!!! JUST ONE!!!! CAN I NOT EMPHASIZE THAT ENOUGH???? I NEED U HERE! RI, NH, MA, CT, NJ, VT, ME (is that maine??? i always get confused) NEWHERE!!!! U CHOOSE!!! NEWHERE IN NEW ENGLAND, AND YOU’LL SEE ME THERE!!!! U NAME THE STATE!!!!!

oh my gosh….i had the most happy-making idea for a shirt……”i’m not a surge monkey, i was just born this way…” now, tell me if this is totally random or not…..just an idea……
-Riderchild-wa
ps: i hear that berlin, ma is a VERY nice place, and has an AMAZING, small library where u’d definitly have a MILLION fans (well, at least my sis’ and me) *HINT, HINT*
ttfn!!!

oh, ya….i hate the idea that the movie will be made by the people who made eragon….i never read the book but i saw the movie 1 night…my sis’ like the book, but they say the book was really icey but the movie was incredibly BRAIN-MISSING…..B-R-A-I-N–M-I-S-S-I-N-G compared 2 the book……NNNNOOOOOO!!! don’t do this to me!!! i cant have uglies ruined for me!!!!! please, say it isn’t so!!!
-Riderchild-wa
ps: NEW ENGLAND!!!!!! (hint, hint!!!)

im tired of oll these posts about scott’s trip. we get it. there are a lot of fans out there with stuff from the books. i made crash braceletts, but i didnt get to see scott, so scott didnt see them. lizzy-wa, i still think you are so0o0o0o0o0o lucky!

Uhhh……Steph-la, i say crap sometimes, u have never heard me say that, its not a bad word, i use it when i need to discribe how someone or something can be, it seemed like an appopriate fitting, o ya and i am going tot he bazar at St.John V, acculy u saw me there, lol, there were alot of ppl from my school there (our school) just so u guys no the bazar is a festival at my church, St. John Vianny (or however u spell it) and alot of cute boys go (lol) but its fun, hopefully u agree steph-la, and i dont just go for the boys (or do i?).

u no scott-la, u say u want to promote ur book, i guess u forgot about us Texans or further more us Houstonians (Houston,Texas). Yeah, dont be afraid, we dont have bulls and horses and stuff (well we do but we dont ride them, at least not in Houston), so u no its really ok, and u say u want to prmote ur new book, yeah i read it, yeah its fantabulous, and yeah i want to make a cool shirt so i can be on ur website, but i also want u to sign my books, and make other ppl read them because there great, and i want u to say u no me from ur comments, so plz, plz, come to my city, plz!

o ya and the horses and weird stuff r in the country, im more of a city person, i mean, come on, MALLS!

So, I have to questions really.
alright. here it goes..

1. How do you determine if someone is a “-la” or a “-wa” ? haha, it’s been driving me CRAZY. is it random or what?

2. Is there anywhere I can find a list of the slang used? aka: Kicker, Bubblehead, Dizzy-making, Icy, etc… or do I just have to reread and jot it all down? XD

please!!! let me know! ^_^

~Jess

kick flash tattoos cyndy. and the tshirt and laces are pretty fawesome 2. im comin up with some coolio fan art of my own. like many of u no, im gonna be a special for halloween and i just finished makin my fawsome top. it was a black longsleeved shirt but i ripped off the sleeves and the i wrote “SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES” on the front and “i don’t want to hurt you, BUT I WILL IF I HAVE TO” on the back. and don’t worry i also wrote “Inspired by “Specials” by Scott Westerfeld” at the bottom. and im gonna wear my all black adidas sweats and i made these super kick crash bracelets out of magnetix and tin foil. and i got this body marker thing to draw flash tattoos on, long black fake nails (which i will be clipping to points) and black hair spray stuff. am i missing anything. plz tell me if i am! check my blog later for some pics! (but not yet becuase i havent taken the pics yet)

two*

I shouldv’e double checked that. sorry.

Bri-la, your outfit for halloween sounds totally fawesome

bri-la your costume sounds so FEXCELLENTLY FAWESOMELY FOOL!

and to riderchild-wa, hey once i got lost in berlin MA! but it wasn’t really my fault my bf’s dad doesn’t trust mapquest so he tried to find his way there w/o it and it didn’t work out too well…but yeah i’ve been through there!

can’t wait to see your pics btw bri-la!

and feel free to comment at my blog 2!

alright! i posted the pics of my “Special” costume!! CHECK IT OUT!! (u 2 scott-la) (click on my name)WOOT!

ok Jessica, answers:
#1 its just random wat ever fits u best
#2 they really is no list, just memory, i mean u read uglies. pretties, specials, and extras right?
there u go hope i was useful!

Listen up, Westerfeld.
I demand to know if there is going to be another book after this, now. I can’t take the torture. If you’re going to say that this is the last book(but how can I believe you, that’s what you said last time) then just let me know now. That way i can stop torturing myself, becuase every minute i hear no news I get more and more hopeful. Its just not cool man.

Are you gonna ever come down to Southern California?

Jessica-la…the la/wa thing depends on your name. if there is a “l” at the middle or end, or if theres a “y” at the end with a “l” in the beginning, its wa. everything else is la, unless it sounds better with wa. but most things sound better with la. youd be Jessica-la. as you can see.

and Bri-la…totally icy stare in that first pic. its like woah, return of Tally Youngblood. i’m going as Dess the SPECIAL myself. i coudnt decide between Dess or Shay, so i’m doing Dess the SPECIAL. yepyepyep. its a work i progress. i’ll be sure to post photos.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

hey guys! click on name! pics of Cyndy-la, Laura-la, Liset-la, Maggie-la, Allie-wa’s version of Tally-wa, and me of course.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

hi bran-la
well i didnt mean that crap was a bad word like that i meant that i NEVER see u say that
i say crap all the time well not all the time but whenever
wow did not mean for that to be that long

i have 1 question for all of yall
WHEN DOES THE MOVIE COME OUT
I WANT TO SEE IT SOOOOOOOOO BAD

RU STILL THERE BRAN-LA??

man this is soooo boring i have to write a paper of our hero

well ttfn (ta ta for now)

Steph-la peace out^_^

i’m still not positive the movie is even being made. and i’m hoping it isn’t.

i will somehow post pics of my melissa costume after halloween, possibly.

wow, i didn’t miss much being gone all day. i wish for more booky posting…….when is tourness over?

and eragon the book wasn’t icy at all. sort of bogus, really. so the movie really accomplished something by making it worse. congrats.

hey! it’s an actual book-related questioning post for our actual scott-la! marvel at the rareness! (if, that is, anyone bothers reading through this many comments)

okay, assuming that the tale of quasi-woe previously discussed on said blog was Extras, who was the original narrator????????
were they deleted from the finished book or are they still there? who were they? was it Ren? for some reason i suspected him? was the tale of quasi-woe even Extras? if the person wasn’t in the book, what name/relation/who were they? is this too many questions? is this long post i sign i should be going to sleep?

(okay, the last one’s yes, i know that, and i’d prefer no one anserw the second to last one.)
whatever it was, i think the finished extras was nine kinds of kick.

ok they might not make a movie
thanks

the original narrator was Hiro. Aya-la’s bro. yepyepyep. Scott-la said that.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

when? oh, probably when you saw him. that makes sense, cuz hiro was annoying and aya would show up at his apartment every morning and tell him about her adventures. guess it doesn’t work well when your protag is toooo spoiled. like aya is too, but with frizz she at least knows that she’s a filty fame-grubbing truth-slanter.

Random exciting {although probably not that original} fact:

During this appearance, someone asked Mr. Westerfeld how he came up with the names. He talked about how he made sure they weren’t too unfamiliar, etc. Then I found out that my little sister plays soccer with a girl named Tally!

Who else knows a {real} Tally?

i don’t know anyone named tally! that’s awesome! i don’t really know anyone with any of the cool names like in the books….all my friends have boring names

I do the shoelace thing. So kick.
I knew a real Tally.
And her husband’s name was David. They moved before I read Uglies, but their niece Maddie and I keep in touch.

omg i found out who the person with the cool shoes is. i found it from the seattle article about scott. the pic at the top had him signing someone’s shoe. Maggie Laush, 15, of Lynnwood. lol!!!!!!!!!!

oops, ignore my comment

Wow, i wish i was creative and Scott was coming to my town. That would involve him coming to my country…

17084 - good site. PeterPan

That is such an awesome tshirt!!!

I think we need some more Scott-related merch that we can buy…

Yes??
(more than what we already have that is…)

whoa…i wish i was creative

PLEASE COME TO NORTHERN VA …i said pleas

awesome fanart-ness!
I made some midnighters buttons too, but i went lazy and used the badge-a-minit.
i made one that’s white with black letters “Something About You Is Just So…” and then 11:59 bigger and in red.
and one of the first midnighters cover
and that blue pic from the back of all the kids. and i’m gonna make more to go with my melissa halloween costume.

please! add some stuff to Wearable Extras……like last days concert shirts….or bixby high sweatshirts…..or U R So 11:59 in juniors sleeveless sweatshirt with the red writing………

Nice.
Maybe I dont like you posting so much.

Gots get out the door.

I want a button.

whoa. kick fan art. i luv. good luck on the rest of ur tour. and uh… are there like copy write laws that say i cant make a “Special Circumstances” shirt myself. because as much as i luv ur’s scott, im not made of money and it would be a lot cheaper just to make my own (for my halloween costume. im being a special.)

– I hope there arn’t.

so0o0o0o0o fool!
I’m on team david too!

Wow a Special Halloween costume. That’s a really good idea.

Too bad I cant make myself a Pretty…

ooh i was number 10 yay me

I was going to be a Special. *Tear* ohhh well give me costume ideas whats good. what to wear. my mom wont let me get color contacts so errgh

Bri-la: There are no copyright laws about any halloween costumes you make for yourself!

Do you guys really sit around worrying about breaking copyright? That’s awful.

Besides, I stole “Special Circumstances” from Iain Banks’ books. That’s how culture works—you steal stuff. Shakespeare stole the plot of Romeo and Juliet from a poem, for heaven’s sake.

hooray!
last night was so fawesome!
I’m glad you like your gift scott… hope it wasn’t werid!
tehe

But seriously,
I think meeting an author is waaaay better than meeting a movie star or a rock star. yuuuup!
Even though it meant I had to walk through a dodgy neighborhood to catch the MUNI…..^-^

Oh and serafine zane: i totally want a button maker….!

wow this is probably the closest i have gotten to comment number 1. lol well that is really kool i am thinking about making and team zane shirt i was so hurt when he died … i cried literally i had to put the book down becaused i couldn’t se the words because my eyes were so blured with tears. My friend laura on the other hand likes david we have an on going rivaly about it … srry i am not a very good speller

Oh a specail costume for halloween that is so bubbly i love it … but i wont copy you Bri-la so dont worry. i might go as my self and wear a shirt that says rusty on it … lol only yuor readers would understand.

Yeah if i had the chance to meet eaither a cute pop star or a awsome writter i’d pick the author. books are my life and i dont meen that in a dorky way i meen i get out of the house and all its just nothing is better to me than sitting in my chair and reading a good book.
It takes you to a place were everytings in order ..and by that i meen that good always wins . WHen i read it takes me away from real life for just a spilt moment i become someone else … the character i am reading about.
ik ik iam aultra cheesy but oh well

Hey, any one out there, what happened to
Leviathan ? September came and whent. >:
I love steam punk, so I was very excited!

Hailee!
I know exactly how you feel, reading is extremely awesome!
But just don’t forget to go out there and live too!!!

I have crazy theories about reading. There’s a mental disorder that makes people believe that everything has cosmic importance. Sometimes I think I may have that disorder.

ohmigod, is EVERYONE on earth going as a special for halloween? i’ll be a lone melissa, walking around in a crowd of scarred tattooed secret agents.

and it’s only even slightly illegal if u make t-shirts and then sell them. and only if the original person complains.
and u gotta love literature common domain! like the millions of tribute names i put in stories……

TEAM ZANE!!! like the david t-shirt though.

and i read waaaaaaaaaaay too much. i counted all the books i could remember from this last summer….i got over 50 then couldn’t remember any more….but there were definitly others. who needs a life?

way too long comment.

but wat about Levithan? i second questions about release date/plz plz more info.

and ppl looking for button makers—the one i got was the cheap kind, and they can run really expensive. google button making machine and badge-a-minit is like the third result.

FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARKLING WEREWOLVES!!!

awwww…people at school. now i’m just writing long pointless posts to myself. i’m always on when no one else is.

still no one………..now commenting on really old threads to defeat boredom.
CHASING MIDNIGHT WEREWOLVES FOR INFINITY!!
hey lizzy-wa, where’s the link to the chasing midnight page???? i can’t find it—ur name just goes 2 ur page.
i want chocolate jello pudding………….
and candy corn.

serafina, do you not go to school?
maybe you should go play outside.
run around the block…
^-^
exercise is good!

I would be Melissa But I don’t think I look like her—

I have long red hair so I could prob. get away with being Jessica — but I don’t know if their is much to do there.

I must ask this question yet again: Under “leave a reply”, it asks for your name, then your mail. Does it mean your email or your real mail address?

Any Other Costume Ideas that have do do with Scott’s books ?

I didn’t realize how much authors steal from other authors.
—Interesting.

Oh—— SORRy Allie-wa !!!

— I put my e-mail address.

I would say Laura-wa for me but I don’t think it sounds right.

Sorry for the multiple comments.

Hey Serafina Zane - the same thing happened to me yesterday. Everyone was at school, and I was home, sick (as I still am today *sigh*) and no one was posting. typing your name made me realize your name is Serafina ZANE and not JANE!

Am I slow or what?

Again, sorry for a THIRD comment, but I have to thank Laura! I didn’t refresh my screen so I couldn’t see your comments before posting my comment above. Sorry…

That is the coolest shirt I think I’ve ever seen.
….

I want so bad to be Melissa for Haloween. I was going to, too. But then my friends who were going to be Dess and Rex with me got into this super big fight. So now I don’t know….
*sadness*

Scott-
You should totally sell 13-pointed stars somewhere! I would buy like 39… It would go so well with my costume!!

-randomness-

cool!! that’s SO kick!!!!!
now, scott…WHEN R U COMING 2 NEW ENGLAND???????? I DON’T KNOW HOW TO EMPHASIZE THAT!!
neways….pretty cool fanart!!
-Riderchild-wa

i’m being melissa and i have pink hair and glasses. realisticness is relative.

yes. my name is Zane. not my *real* name, but whatever.

and i go to school. i just have ninth period creative writing. we sit in a computer lab and all we need to do is come up with a poem a week. i spend a lot of time on the internet.

i put email.

i made a 13 pointed star image in photoshop for the bixby high sweatshirt i will someday make……….unless they get sold on Wearable Extras first…hint, hint

Scott-la you shouldn’t just come to Northern VA, you should come to Southern VA. Better sites down here because your not right by Washington DC, ttly crowded, I went up there and so much traffic. And down here theres so many different sites and everything. Much more bubbly-making, and kick. ttly. you live in England, Riderchild-wa, Lucky. I have a friend who lives there. Also, Laura, You could Laura-la. Thats pretty bubbly-sounding
Amelia-wa

Sweet!! I gotta try that.

So, there used to be a few of us who would post like crazy! but now, when ever I get home, there’s at least 40 posts, and lots of new pplz!! it’s so cool!!

Kadie-Wa
(I forgot my siggie on the last one, whoops! )

Oh, and one more thing, if anyone remembers this….
SUMOS UNITE! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I like the button the best.

OMG smeone post

Hey, how come you never come to Utah? Did you even know you have fans here?

O ya, cool T but im srry, the words dont work for me! TEAM ZANE, all the way! Oh ya and you guys are going to be pround of me!! I have read all the Uglies “Trilogy” books and wait for it wait for it…………………….MY MOM JUST GOT ME THE FIRST MIDNIGHTERS BOOK! Totally Icy, right? ok well i got to go READ! Shout out:
HEY STEPH-LA and UNMOLLY-WA
Oh and, behold, book number 5!

You’re lucky, Bran-la. My mom was going to the library so I asked her to get the first Midnighters book. Instead, she got So Yesterday (Which was still awesome, btw) But I was reading the Amazon.com preview of Midnighters, and it stopped mid-sentence.

Totally bogus.

THAT IS SO FOOOOOOOL! totally fawesome

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

I no i am so excited. ill be able to become a chan let me help if you dont understand:

Me and my friends made rules for the endings

To be la or wa (bran-la)- you have to have read either midnighter series OR uglies series

To be chan- you have to have read the midnighters series AND the uglies series

To be sensei- you have to read ALL his books (the ones he lists on the website)

and if he adds more books to series or just makes more you have to read those before you can have ur ending back!

It so cool!

i guess i’m sensei then.
well i haven’t read any of the adult scifi
but i’ve read midnighters and uglies and so yesterday and peeps and the last days and extras. so i think that counts.

dude, all u people holding copies of midnighters, go read it!!!!!! it’s awesome!!! tlly my fav of all scott’s books.

u should add peeps/so yesterday/the last days to ur qualifiers.

and author-dude. you know there is NO MENTION of the Last Days whatsoever on the main site? it is the book that time forgot…that never existed….why the dissing of the fawesome rock star book??????why?????

FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARKLING WEREWOLVES!!!

I consider Extras Part of the the Uglies “trilogy” thats y i call it the “Trilogy” or i call it a series, o and i want to be a sensei!

Thanks Ameila-wa for the tip.

I wanna try being Melissa for Hallow’s Eve
I have a picture in my mind what she looks like but could anyone give me a discription on what clothes she wears ?

–thanks

Then I’d also be sensei. I’ve read all but his adult books beacuse, well, I’m not an adult. xD
But I think I’ll stay a -wa because it sound so bubbly on my name.

I don’t really know, Laura-la. I want to also be her, so I’ll probably just be wearing gothic cloths. Anything would be icy, I’m sure.

That is what I was kind of thinking.

For some reason I think of that psycho girl on Breakfast Club for Melissa or Dess.
idk

SOME ONE –

you should wear those fawesome gloves she always used to wear to avoid contact

Oh and you know how we (Scott’s fans ) say words like…

Nervous-making and stuff like that -

What other words work for that ??

Sometimes it just doesn’t SOund right ? you know ?

Like pretty-making? Icy-making?

THE GLOVES !!!!

Sometimes, yeah I guess. But I’ve never really cared about sounding right, so….

ahhm, you can just say random scott-la talk and all passing fans will understand you

OMG YES!
I had totally forgotten about them! How bogus am I? Thats what I get for only reading the Uglies trilogy for 2 months….

i want to go as melissa too but how would i do my cosume? or maby a Pretty? Mabye some one give me an idea because i can sew my own costume……..

I dunno. A pretty you would really just need pretty-making cloths, a metal bracelet and maybe some flash tatoos. Melissa would probably just need those fawsome gloves and some other gothic apperal.

a pretty would be really hard though, cus being a pretty is about how you look with your big eyes and full lips adn perfect skin. you cant just make clothes to show that..

True. But makeup would help a bit. And if you went over-the-top with flash tattoos no one would really see your face anyway.

ok. So… get some fawsome gloves and some gothic clothes — not too gothic.

Ooooooo—- I get a wig that has brown longish hair.

——-Fawsome
Don’t forget about the Steel objects like a 13 pointed star.

YESSSSSSSSssssssss

Fexcellent. Psycotically Fexcellent.

Can’t wait

i have this awesome scary monster mask that looks like some scary sea moster.. but i have no idea how that would tie into some sort of character from any of these books.
unless [i think Hailee said this above] if you wore a shirt that said rusty on it with it.. does that make sense, as a rusty destroying the earth?

Oh, I have decided to do some fan art for Scott. Now I just have to, um, draw it. >.> I’ve got one day. I’d better get to work.

ok were would i get a flash tattoo???? and if i am melissa i need a wereable extra w/ melissa’s sign on it!!!!!!!!!!
If i choose to be a pretty what should i wear?????? a dress Simi-formal or a shirt and skirt????? What??????

it would be fawesome if you could go in like a ballgown like tally always imagined herself to look like in new pretty town. or you could go as a smokey, with that handmade sweater and mud all over your face. or that cool jacket david always wears. and his shoes. you need his shoes.

If you went as Melissa, you could get huge headphones, and be all pre-Maddy Melissa.
lol
Scott-la should make a t-shirt that says
“-semi
Only half a word”
It would be so bubbly!

Midnighters fan art would be so icy! If I could draw for anything I would so be all over that. But I can’t, so I won’t.
But maybe I’ll try and get some halloweeen fan arts in….

haha..i would so buy that shirt.
and i completely forgot about the headphones..how could i forget about the headphones?? i’d love to go as a halfling, but i have no idea how to do that..
anyway.. the moms is yelling.
i guess i have to go

See ya, Sausto-la. Stay icy.

Yay, I finally bought Extras! Only 8 days after it came out. Now I’m going to read it. (As opposed to what, I don’t know.)

I drew some Uglies fanart. It’s a stick person Tally. It’s a very nice stick person. A masterpiece for me, actually, and I say that without any sarcasm.

Yay for stick figues! I feel you’re pain, Cicely. My best friends are icy drawers. I suck.

hi

I toadaly stink at drawing 2

OMG why is bran-la and unmolly-wa here???
I miss you guys:(

man i sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wanted to see scott-la but you never came to houston
tear tear sniffle

As did I. Scott-la, you need to come to DC!! Or anywhere in Maryland, really. I would adore to see you! It would be totally icy-making!!

wow it sooooooo meast up my poast

please talk to me
I think that the extras book sooo rocked aya and frizz and tally and david
im happy that tally moved on from zane but david should have died not zane
peris was such a wimp in pritties he didnt go with every one else what ever some friend
shay and fausto should have gottin togeather

i know right

O_O
Save it for the spoilers thread, please, Steph-la. I’ve read it, but some people reading may not have. We really should be bubbly and let the others read at their own pace.

if others havent read it yet by the way..get off this blog and go buy the book. its ahhmazing.

scott-la is the greatest writter ever
i heart u scott-la

i really need to read extras again, but my sister hasnt finished it yet, and she wont let me have it again until she does. but i loved david. and shay is like my favooorite character ever. she so does not get enough credit.
[and yes; shay and fausto==shausto..love]

will he make a 5 book?

oops i am sooo bad at typing

i hope so, but probably not. the series seems like its done.. thers not really a big cliff hanger either to keep going. but i still have so many questions scott-la!

Indeed. But I still think that we shouldn’t talk of it here.

(But I soooo agree. Shsy and Fausto=love)

that will toadaly mak my life compleat

SQUEE FOR ZANE!!

ZANE = LOVE

TEAM ZANE

I so think he should write another Midnighters book. The ending of the 3rd was so open!
*hint, hint, Scott-la*

i agree with u

umm.. team david all the way

go zane he sooo rocks a lot more than david

Oh, no my comments are invisible!!

im still missing the third..*shames*

I HAVE NOT READ ANY OF THE MIDNIGHTERS BUT I WANT TO

woahh.. david was sooo fawesome its not even funny. i loveedd him

Thats so bogus, Steph-la. Midnighter rock!

u r soo nutz

i know midnighters rock

never mind. I didn’t expect that one to post. Which was slightly embarrasing.

go shausto
shay+fausto=love

I agree with both. I’m in love with Zane, but David has his icy qualities as well.

I with when you do less than 3 it would show up. But nooooo. That is so bogus.

*hearts for Scott*

it is ok i still love all the people on this blog

ohh my god i have a WRock song stuck in my head and it wont go away.. ahhh!

u r nutz u make no sense

lol
I have Switchfoot and random Extras quotes tap danceing in my head…

go zane i still love u

I TOATALLY WANT TO READ MIDNIGHTERS!!! But i cant get my hands on them for a while.

i will make a song about the uglies “trilogy”
it will sooooooo rock

Aww. That is so sad-making, Allie-wa! Midnighter’s was how I first got hocked on Scott-la’s work. Then Uglies, then Peeps/Last Days. So Midnighters owns my obsession, but everthing else is fawsome too!

me to it sounds sooo good

switchfoot????
wt

YOU DON”T KNOW WHO SWITCHFOOT IS?!?!
*dies*
They’re only the best rock band ever! Their my second most powerful obsession! They are so icy!

I poasted comment 100 i rock

stupid internet eating my long epic comments detailing my costume.

team zane. all the way.

i’ve got this stupid Fall Out Boy song stuck in my head…..but it’s like a medly of four different Fall Out Boy songs….all from different albums…..with random Taking Back Sunday interludes.

my head is a very odd place to be.

reaaaally doing bio homework now.

wow people all who thinks that scott-la rocks say

I
ok people

SCOTT-LA IS THE BEST!!
*love for Scott*

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

my head is a very odd place to be.
—
Dito. I doubt any Mindcaster’s could stand to be around me.
Except my friend Effie. She could so be a mindcaster. She tottally always knows what everyone is thinking. And she don’t care that my mind is crazy.

ive just got this random harry potter song about tom riddle buying a pink diary stuck in my head.. evil wrock can make you crazy after a while..its scary

why is everyone just posting random stuff about scott-la being amazing? we all know taht..thats [hopefully] why were alll here..

TIBET

Because it is so true. And plus I have nothing else to say…

U R ON THE OUTSIDE OF AN INSIDE JOKE

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I WIN

SNAPS FOR SCOTT-LA
(AND EXTRAS)

1234
SCOTT-LA HAS TO MAKE A BOOK 5 IT WILL SOOOO MAKE IT EVE N

1234
SCOTT-LA HAS TO MAKE A BOOK 5 IT WILL SOOOO MAKE IT EVEN

OOOPS

BRB
SO DONT MISS ME

Steph-la over + out

Have any of you heard of the Band Mates of State.

It is some psychotically fawesome music they have got there.

Totally bubbly-making,
It was on a US cellular commercial once.

I’m ignoring the fact that I have a major docial studies assignment due tomorrow when I say…

UGLIES #5!!!!!!! PLZ!!

Too bad that they only play around the NY area.

It is so sad-making.

lol social studies not docial studies.

WOW… IT is like only 8:10 here.

Got atleast 2 more hours till sleep.

I have been on since i think 4.
Not good. Bogus.

9:10 here.. watching private practice.. not as good as greys anatomy though.. and i still have a major english paper due friday. and i havent started yet..hmm..

ohh, is anyone still here? i feel all lonely on scott-la’s blog..

o hay steph-la

I love Zane

im here

Im reading Midnighter at this moment

like right now

ya this conversation is intresting

oh sorry bran-la.. trying to write my outline about egypt. fun..

project, ooo , tons of fun

im getting really tired and it isnt even my bed time

are you in austrailia? its like 9:30 here..

in australia its the afternoon, awsome

its late here

no im not im in the us and it 8:38 were i am

your an hour ahead of me

awesome. im on teh east coast of the us. im so bored.. egypt is not very entertaining..

Steph-la come back

im south in the us and i am tired and my friends arent being very nice and all my guy friend is saying i “okay” and “lol”

o and hes being rude

boys, why cant thaey be like david or frizz or zane

Sweet tee shirt.

Even though it has david on it…and i can’t stand him.
=[[ oh well.

i love zane =]]

I was obsessed with Egypt the summer before last. its mythology is awesome.

Also, there was an icy movie about it called Stargate, and a series called Stargate SG-1. Alright, probably not icy to anyone but me. I bet most people don’t like it, really. But I think it’s worth watching.

If you could know any one character from the Uglies ‘trilogy’, who would it be?

For me it would be Zane.

it would so be shay. i love her so much she is my absolute favorite. but i have to go for good now.. too much to do, and only 5 minutes to do it..

id be tally

i dunno. meeting tally would scare me. i might vote shay, because there might be nano-related adventures. and i’d never be satisfied with only meeting zane once….then i’d demand for jace wayland to come to life too….and all the midnighters. like dess! that’d be awesome. and jonathan….second the flyboy love.

and i *just* finished my big bio project i did *not* leave til the last minute. okay, maybe i did. cuz it’s due 2morrow.

too little time….

I like Shay — as a ugly
I like Tally— as a pretty and special

To Bran-la

I dunno, If there were really boys like Frizz, when you asked them things like “Do I look fat?” or “Do you like her?” The answers could be…upsetting…
^_^ haha.

man is anyone still here?

i sooooooooo agree with u

I have a question for Scott-la.
What do u want us 2 call u?

OMG STARGATE S A REALLY FUNNY SHOW!!
I LIKE THE OLD ONES BETTER.

MY DAD made me get off the comp

OMG my mom is getting me midnighters 2marrow
I am sooooo happy!!!!!!!!
I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!;):0 ^_^

Too bad I’m going to miss you guys this year. We’ve got our publicists in town tomorrow, then Friday is crazy busy, too. Perhaps I’ll catch you at a show somewhere next year. Glad to hear the tour is going so well!

midnighters rox!
i’d rather have guys like zane than ones like frizz. radical honesty scares me.

I would rather have all of the Midngihters as my friends then people from Uglies books.

Why? >: I would love to have Tally as a friend! (: Shay to. I would punch her. ^_^ Hee hee.

think about tally from someone else’s POV. she’d kinda scare me.

i would rather have all the midnighters to weather high school with.

is liset’s hair like green/blue in that picture? awesome. i wanna dye my hair green.

*sad and alone in the middle of the school day*

that is fawesome..i didnt even see the hair. i with i could die my hair some kick color like green/blue,but i would probably get disowned or something. so im stuck with natural brown.. which isnt so bad.. but blue is just so much more icy.

I ‘m getting Midnighters book 1 today!! I can’t wait to read.

YAY i just finished Extras! don’t worry, i won’t spoil anything! *goes off to spoiler page*

this whole blog is a huge spoiler page.. why worry anymore? if someone who hasnt read extras is on here: get off and go buy the book

I guess it just a cur tezy. (hah see if u can figure out what I mean there…)

that is the coolest tshirt evaaaa
where do i get one!?!?!?

awesome t-shirt!!! It’s so kick!!

my parents couldn’t care less about hair color. as illustrated by the fact that over the last year, mine’s been blood-red, plum purple, and now a sort of fushica pink. i want to do green or blue though.
my parents say hair color’s at least semi-temporary, so it’s okay. unlike piercings or tattoos. which would also be cool…..

IS BRAN-LA HERE????????????

HI
THE SHIRT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TEAM ZANE SHIRT
GOSH!!!!!

I JUST GOT MIDNIGHTERS^_^

extras was such a good book

OMG 200

@)!

or, rather

201

my mom made me get off last nigh!!!!!!!
if it was me meeting one of the Uglies charicters i would want to meet tally!!!!!!!!! i am soo like her in speacials!!!!!!!!!!! unprictibale, wild, ad tottaly icy!!(with out the cutting)!!!!!!

im totally like Shay-la! id totally meet her!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

i like tally and im reading midnighters right now i already read the uglies books but i canr believe theres no new blog, thats not icy.

whoa go steph-la
we go to the same school

30045 - good site. PeterPan

FOURTH MIDNIGHTERS DARKLING WEREWOLVES!!!!!!!!

love ur hair, liset. saw it on justine’s page. very fawesome.

PLEASE, please, pleeeeeease come to south florida! like miami or west palm! it would be so freakin fawesome!

i love your worl. i’ve only read two books and have just started on pretties. i love your work andi find it adicting! please come to kentucky!>w

I soo want that shirt! That’s so cool. I LOVE the Uglies trilogy, and I’m a HUGE Midnighter fan, so thanks so much for the shirt template.

I also can’t wait to see the movie! The only problem with using Knightly and Swank(previous posts); Tally’s only 16, not quite an adult.
Dude, they need a midnighters movie too. When I become a famous actress, I will
HAVE to be in that. Plus, I have so many ideas. Watch them make a movie without me, and then I’ll be pissed that it wasn’t exactly as I evisioned it, and that it didn’t star me…

Ahh. I can’t wait for extras
and that cover is so cute.

I love that webcard! There’s such random stuff in there! I’m so glad that So Yesterday is finally getting around the world; it’s popularity is growing! muahaha!

awesome web card!!!

what was with the bunny mask?
did that remind anyone of donnie darko?

haha the webcard is funny but i dont get what its for hmmmmm

uhgg

i cant wait for extras

omg i love it.

brazil is pretty awesome

wow! that is so cool!

my dog is laying on a bed, with a pillow on her head! it is so cute!

Today, Brazil. Tomorow, the world.
The webcard is amazing. And I love the cover. It’s so cute.
Can’t wait for the obsessive Extras blogging.

thats a pretty wicked sweet cover!!! and i cant wait for Extras to come out!! i already pre-ordered!!! and i have already started my Extras countdown *giggle* *giggle*

i have a volleyball game the day extras comes out.

P.S. i am uploading a video on youtube that has to do with scott’s books. once it is done, i will put the link on my name

I did giggle, it was so weird.
My friends are about to strangle me because every day I tell them how many days, hours, minutes, secinds until EXTRAS comes out and you go to Chicago and also put in a quote.
Can you make a diagram of Jen’s laces (6 holes on each side. 12 :{ total)

funny funny, and 23 is my fav number! but cant wait for extras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i’m gonna have to…………..ugh.

Yes! I didn’t laugh. Not even a hint of a smile. That’s a genuis cover.

hehe!
Scott-la…where have you been. like ten peeps have already posted count down sites, and like ten other peeps are telling everybody how long. like me!:

Only 1968083 Seconds Til EXTRAS!!!
(thats a multiple of 13…just sayin)

But i do love the cover and webcard!
still havent read it yet. but i will!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

if you click on my name, you will go to my youtube account. my user name is ThePrettyMindedUgly

love the background Amy-la!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

thanks!

wow…and i was a bit confused once i stopped laughing at that webcard….at first i thought they were both guys until they put one in a skirt…sad i know.
i probably shoulda figured it out when one was in a bra but i’m slow like that.

and i’m going to see The Lion King in NYC the day before my birthday (nov 12)!!! and then on December 5th, i’m going to see Wicked in NYC with my school’s chorus! i sound completely ADHD, but come on, WICKED! BEST MUSICAL EVER!!!

and scott, do you know the dates you’ll be in New York yet?

amy-la upload your video soon i want to see it! i’m gonna go take some ritalin now…jk i’m just naturally hyper

i thought it was 24 days!
yay!
cute cover.
hi scott!

scheeshz! there are a lot of nov. b-days on here. im nov. 29.

hey so you no how Specials comes out in paperback sept. 11? well thats my moms b-day. so im gonna get it for her(even though she still hasnt read Uglies or Pretties…and doesnt really want two) and then i’ll just borrow it all the time…maybe keep it in my room. you no…just to save her some space.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

OMG!!! CANT WAIT FOR EXTRAS!!! Im rereading uglies, pretties and specials to help pass the time. SO EXCITED!!

SWEET cover scott. i watched the whole webcard without giggling. but it was hard. HI-LARIOUS! i luv.

CANT WAIT!!!! 23 days. thats how many seconds…? lets see… calculator says 1987200 (multiple of thirteen!)…1987199….1987189…1987197…… O my word i m SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woah my bday is november 8th…. weird…

and my grandma’s is november 11th (a day before me!) and my great-grandma’s is november 25th. she’s gonna be 100!

i couldnt help but laugh. they put a kilt skirty thingy on the guy.

so my little brother and sister just went fishing with my dad. and they only caught one fish. but then my stupid little sister goes and NAMES it! i’ll be eating TOM for dinner. i hate it when she names the fish. its like eating a homeless puppy. ok not THAT bad but still. i think i’ll just eat cereal.

ewwwwwwwww they’re cleaning it now! i would tell you guys more but i HATE looking at blood!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

ewwwwwwwww. fishy. poor tom. i can never catch anything when i go fishing. actually i never go fishing because it is so incredibly BORING!!!! ;P
i hate blood 2 *shudders*

Wow, love the whole paper dolls concept for a cover. Reminds me of the good old days playing with paper dolls as a little kid.

Can’t believe there’re only 23 days left–so exciting. Can’t wait! (It helps quench the thirst that the next blog entries will be obesseively related to Extras =D

Ooh, Extras Countdown Timer… sounds brilliant!

^^Hehe, I’ve been re-reading Pretties and Speicals to refresh on the storyline in preparation for Extras too

Just saying, Extras has me salivating. I really hope you make an appearance in NY. I need to get my packet and the actual book signed.

that bunny mask was SOOOOOO FROM DONNIE DARKO!!!!!!! anyone? anyone? donnie darko anyone?

never heard of him. if hes in the book, well ive not read the book yet soooo….yeah!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

im soooooooooo going to go to see Scott-la in Seattle! im gonna have him sign my t-shirt and book and im gonna take a picture with him.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

the paper doll thing is actually really cool. i think that’s my fav so yesterday cover.

and i CAN’T WAIT FOR EXTRAS!!! can’t believe it’s only 23 days!! also can’t wait for obsessive extras blogging. i’m one of those obsessive losers who reads and writes a lot and loves to hear authors talk all about thier books.

and lizzy-wa, donnie darko is a movie. no, i haven’t seen it, but it has nothing to do with the books.

EXTRAS!!! i’m too lazy to have a countdown for extras. though, obsessively, i do have one for City of Ashes, and that doesn’t come out til april. 234 daysish, i think.

ooooooooohhhhhhhh. its a movie. still. never seen it.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

I like the cover too. The paper doll theme is fool.

Extras, can’t wait. yaaaaaaaaay and can’t wait for obsessive Extras blogging.

I don’t really like it. I think our cover for it was a thousand times fawesomer. with all the little pictures

nah. i like theres better. i REALLY like the german UGLIES books. theyre sooooo fool! i wonder what there gonna do for EXTAS. Less Than 2 mill seconds left! woooo!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

grrrr… you tube wont let me upload it. and i cant sleep it is 11:23 ans im usuall asleep by 10:45 on school nights.

Yes! Obsessive blogging about Extras!

I agree. I like our little pictures more than the paper dolls. But hey, for the bazillionth So Yesterday translation! Congrats! You deserved it.

That webcard = the best thing I’ve seen this week.

Seriously.
Thank you

i STILL have to read it!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

Fool! 00:56! has any1 ever posted at 00:00? THAT would be fool!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

hehe! 1:01

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

1 day closer till extras comes out.

I just realized that there’s a kilt on the cover of Brazilian So Yesterday. I dunno if any of us will live to see the day kilts are ‘in style’. Or is fashion really REALLY different in Brazil? I’d like to see a high school where all the hip guys are wearing kilts. It’d be pretty funny.
I just love the cover, though. Not many foreign versions of So Yesterday have been very orignial, have they?

Ok the webcard definitely made me giggle.

lol if i could figure out what the insturctions said i would send that to all my friends ..oo i can’t wait for the Extras timer!!!!!

seriously, i am so excited for extras, i can’t even contain myself. i’m going to have a reading marathon here pretty soon and read all three books in a couple days to get refreshed just in time for book no. 4. wow. i’m excited

Haha! That webcard is entertaining!
And I’ve had a countdown for Extras on my myspace page for months now! I totally beat you!

i love house NOW, after kadie-wa’s been doing it for like 2 and 1/2 months, scott decides he’ll put up an extras countdown.

lol maybe scott DOES read the comments!

ahhhh only 23 days i can’t wait holy crap!!!!!!! im so excited!!!!!

Kailyx-la…so funny! yes then guys would have to start shaving there legs. or wearing tites! hehe!!!!!!
hey! i’ve been doing the countdown two! down to the second. Kadie-wa only does it down to the day. although it IS pretty cool how she does the whole…month, day, hour, minute, second…thingy. and she HAS been doing it for longer than me. but thats ONLY because i just started on here like a month ago. i dont now HOW i lived without u guys. ur soooo much funnier than my friends at school.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

so i painted my nails yestrday. one hand has 3 shades of pink, black, and lime green. the other has hot pink on the pinky and thumb, black on the ring and index, and lime green on the middle. all of my friends think im losin’ it, and half the guys in my class accused my of going goth. i will never go goth. even if they did make up halloween.(according to Dess) and EVERYBODY thinks im losin it cause i traded my friend a shoe and wore one slip on and one platform flip flop. nobody accused her because she just said that i STOLE it from her. dizzy-making.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

speaking of her…she has read uglies and is halfway threw pretties. but she wont talk to u guys! shes like: thats boring! i dont do that! (and she says it all mockinglyly) her life would be so much more interesting if she did everything i do. and if she new u guys of course.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

well, as long as you won’t stalk me, then whatever you say Lizzy-wa!

*looks at own chipped black fingernails*
yeah ummmm about that goth thing….

Aaah! Only 23 days?! Will we still be able to win a signed Extra’s anything? I was so looking forward to it. *siiiiiigh* =]

Yay! Go Brazillian!!

What’s the count down like??? Hmmmmmmmm…….

Kadie-Wa

i never even bother to paint my nails b/c it always smudges or something since i can never be patient enough to wait for them to completely dry. well i do for special occasions, but i just use remover to take it off after 2-3 days so they won’t get like super chipped.

how off-topic is this?

OMG cant wait for EXTRAS ive been bugging parents for days and weeks to go to Chicago… i got my license today!!! i could so go down there myself … but through chicago hmm… maybe ill take bus… scotts hand is going to get a real workout…

haha kheidi-la…

can you say “carpal tunnel?”

and lucky person! i can’t get my license till next november. hey what’s the driving age in your state? it’s 16 in NY.

I think that it’s 16 in the whole U.S, isn’t it? Hey! My bday is nov. too!! So is Lizzy-Wa’s.

Kadie-Wa

i really wonder what extras’ll really be about. like, what’ll happen and stuff. and if/how tally shows up…and how all the pretty-heads adapt to the whole mind-rain thing. and who the “sly girls” ppl the amazon summary mention are. and what happens with tally and david. and how they get to japan. and….well, what the whole books is, really.

cuz all we really know is that it takes place in the same world as uglies, it’s after specials, it’s in japan, and it’s aya fuse. arrrg, i can’t wait to read it!!!!!!
anybody else have theories about what’s gonna happen?

no idea

and Kadie-wa…remember…earlier we were talking about how like everybody on here was born in nov!

Serafina-la…you ask lots of questions!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

by the way Taylor-wa…i am NOT a stalker. although this guy i know has a picture of me in his room! how dizzy-making is THAT!?!?!? so gross! i dont even no how he GOT it! it better be a good picture…thats all i’m sayin. STALKER!

-Lizzy-wa OUT! (again)

Haha that web card was histerical.

and i’m so excited and glad I pre-ordered Extras.
Paperback of Specials comes out tomorrow on my friends bday. =]

i ask lots of questions, but i get very few anserws.

okay, there’s my profound-ness quota for the day. ha! stalker. and i wasn’t born in november. my birthday’s in the summer.
now i return to my history homework.

Aaaaah! I still need to preorder Extras! My mom keeps saying that I should just wait until the library has it, but by then I’ll have heard everything about the book! And it’s my money. I can buy it if I want to.

Anyway, cute cover!

Seriously, everyone on here has a november bday? Really? Anyone have the same date?!?!
I can’t wait for Extras!! AHHHH!!

Kadie-Wa

ok so everyone except Serafina-la has a nov. b-day. Kadie-wa…mines the 29th.

but Serafina-la…i can answer one question. i think Aya will get bored of being an EXTRA, so she will run away…but not for the old reasons. just because shes bored. then in the wild she will meet up with Tally and David. then they will end up saving the world…again. but im not sure how. maybe Dr.C will recreate Specials with old Specials who want to be Special again and they will try to–says in evil villain voice–TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD! MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! and then Tally and David and Aya and maybe even Shay and Fausto will PUT A STOP TO IT!
it’s just a theore tho.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

I just adore that cover! I wanna cut them out and play with ‘em!

hehe. mine’s not either.
mine’s in the “summer” of US.
which is the winter of aus.

Now that is a brilliant cover. I keep clicking on it wanting to move the clothes around.

that cover’s so kawaii (cute)!
although i like the American version… i like covers that make the book look mysterious
Yay i cant wait till Extras!!!

hhhhmmmmm…

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

o.k my b-day’s Oct.5, I guess I’m not in the club. Anyways, The whole your picture on some random guy’s wall is kinda creepy(for u anyways) lol. This is pretty off topic but I’ll play along, I usually don’t paint my finger nails b/c when i get bored i chip it off and then it doesn’t look good anymore. But I paint my toenails b/c that would be weird if you know I got bored in a class and started picking at my toes.

yes. people would think you were losin’ it! plus…that close to your face and all…they would probably REALLY stink!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

Hi, Scott.

I’m a brazilian journalist. Your book is really amazing! And ‘Tão ontem’ means exactly ‘So yesterday’. No differences.

Ps) I loved the cover! The paper doll is like a puzzle - it’s an exciting exercise to find a new match, a new look.

Brazillion….I love it!

yea first comment! fawesome cover. and the behind the scenes thing is a cool idea.

fawesome. we should covers like that

I think usually it’s called “traditional Chinese,” or at least in Windows ;). But maybe the publishers call it “complex Chinese”?

Also, YAY! Your book is out in Taiwan! Awesome!

Fawesome! Posting the photo shoot is a really great idea–most people probably don’t really think about how book covers come to be.

Oyce: It says “complex” or “simplified” on our contracts. (Magic or Madness was also pub’d in Taiwan.) Those are the terms all the publishers use for those rights.

cool 6th comment…i just started reading so yesterday its so good!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!! Love it so much!!

Kadie-Wa

awwwwesome

I wish all the books had the behind the scences thing. That would be so cool.

that is prety darn awesome right there! the site was all like weird symbols instead of text though since i didn’t install a “language pack”

what happened to the girl (i assume it’s jen) though? is she on the back, or is she just not on the cover at all?

and from what i can tell from the site, there seems to be some contest with the book. you know, one of those text message things, like “text _____ to _____ now and you could win _____!”

aarrrgh typos…*pretty

That’s such the perfect cover for that book!

i still have to read that book.
i have to admit…that guys kinda cute!

Lizzy-wa

Fawesome cover! Hehe…meowbus. I’ll have to work that into conversations somehow.

yes. hows it pronounced? like meow like a cat, then bus like a school bus? cunfussing. and dizzy-making!

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

i like it! very modern.

Its really cool scott!!!!!!!

sweetness! i just read that book (in english) like a week ago and i still dont know how mandy ended up with 2 different last names. but that cover is amazing!!!!

i still have to read it.

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

Me too, Lizzy-Wa. I had it checked out from the library, and then they wanted it back. It stunk.

Kadie-Wa

I haven’t read the book yet…though I have read the Uglies trilogy. It’s just so cool that you explained about the traditional chinese and simplified chinese and got your information correct! I agree that it’s cool about the behind the scenes thing! But if anyone wants to know, those who learn simplified chinese(like me ;D) is able to read traditional chinese characters without much difficulty but not for those who learn traditional chinese I think.

That is SO COOOL!

interesting miko-la…

-Lizzy-wa OUT!

that is so cool!

That’s so neat that your books are translated into so many languages.

Whoa, was I first? That ROCKS!!!

I like how for books in different languages, they basically do a whole new cover for it. haha. Too bad I don’t speak Slovenian, so I have no idea what the title actually says.
Ooo, new trilogy, I wonder what that’s about.

By the way, congrats on your Inky nom! And ooh, the Austro-Hungarian empire. That should make for a delightfully messy trilogy.

Also, seeing books in other languages always makes me jealous that I don’t read them! I like investigating the connotational differences.. Alas.

Well, thanks again for the update!

OMG!! That is Fawseome!! Shows how many pplz are in LOVE with ur books!

Kadie-Wa

YAY! Has Peeps or Midnighters or Uglies been translated into Spanish? that would be really fool!

If I had a book written I would definately want it to be translated into Slovenian. It would be a great conversation starter.

Kadie-Wa, what’s a hulusi?

Naw, I’d have mine translated into Armenian. Now that is a conversation starter, or Hebrew.

Okay, according to the first source listed below, “lovci” means “Hunters” or “Hunt” in Croatian and Czech respectively. Because Slovenian and Croatian are both South Slavic languages (Croatian is West Slavic), I have a feeling there are similarities among words. According to Wikipedia’s Slovenian language page, words can be assimilated into the language. There are four ways to do this:
“sposojenka (loan word): fully assimilated [e.g. pica (=”pizza”)]
tujka (foreign word): partly assimilated, either in writing and syntax and/or in pronunciation (e.g. jazz, wiki)
polcitatna beseda ali besedna zveza: partly assimilated, either in writing and syntax and/or in pronunciation (e.g. Shakespeare)
citatna beseda ali besedna zveza: kept as in original, although pronunciation may be altered to fit into speech flow (e.g. first lady)”

I would say “Kul” falls under the first category “sposojenka” or and thus ..just means “cool.”

So it is … somewhat safe to say that the title could be “Cool Hunters,” or, more likely, “Hunters of Cool.” How’s that sound to everyone?

Also, a Public Service Announcement:

Hey, Scott! How come I can’t find The Risen Empire no matter where I go? I really want to read that and Evolution’s Darling. Where can I find them?

Hillary!, A hulusi is a chineese woodwind with a fool sound.

If I had a book published, I would want it translated into French for sure.

Kadie-Wa

hillary!, i was just about to ask the same thing! seriously b/c i’d love to read that! and it’d be cool to see what the covers/titles are changed to…

i meant read a book translated into hebrew. but spanish would be cool too (i just read that comment).

Hey, Scott:
Remember when I said that we had a litter of four kittens:2 boys and 2 girls? Well, I have the pictures up! They are so cute, just click on my name and I put it there! They are adorible! Tally is all black, Shay is all Grey, David is grey and white and Zane (the littlest one) Is black and white!

Kadie-Wa

That’s so awesome. That language seems so complex, and I thought learning Japanese was hard.

Yeah, I read HP in Spanish, very translated!
I’d like to hear a hulusi, man, Kadie-wa you play alot of instruments, like in The Last Days. YAY the kitties are sooo cute! look at my name!

Hey Scott! When were you planning on telling us that an Uglies movie was coming out! I about had a fit! Oh yeah oh yeah.

I mean I guess you could have but I have been totally checking your blog like… everyday for about half a year so… I don’t think I would have missed it…

But it says it right here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0986270/

So. Ne-ner-ne-ner-nene.

wait! now look!

hehe Thanks Hillary!, I like to think of myself like Pearl, jk jk. but I liked her character. And the kitties are SO cute!!

Kadie-Wa

Dag nab it! maybe it will work now!

Hillary!, your name just says Hillary!. what do you mean?

Kadie-Wa

Yeah, she was my fave too, Minerva was cool, but way creepy. I fixed it!

Shelby, production hasn’t even started, I wanna audition sooo badly, even if I am nothing like the characters in the Uglies series, I’m more like Dess, or so my friend Darren says.

Cool pics, Hillary!! Did you draw them? And lol to the guy, (sorry forgot his name :() I like ur pictures!

Kadie-Wa
P.S. I SO wanna be Shay!! That would be fawesome!! Actually, I would even wanna be an extra (lol, funny word play) anything to see them make it would be fawesome!

Umm, I didn’t draw anything…what are you talking about? His name is LELAND CHAPMAN! Dog The Bounty Hunter’s son. He is smexy!

OMG! Think of the hoverboard scenes!!!!!!!!!!!!

You didn’t…then what are these? http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w192/weezles90/?action=view&current=carrion1.jpg

HOVERBOARD SCENES!! OMG those are going to be SO SO SO SO SO SO (etc.) COOL!!!!! I wish that it came out sooner then like two years, because they haven’t even started yet.

I seem to be all alone…how did that happen?!?! Taylor? Hillary!? Amy-La? Well, i suppose that means I gotta go clean my room…or listen to Mika. GO MIKA!!!

Kadie-Wa

OHHHHHHHHHH! Those are by Clive Barker! From his Abarat series, they are very fexcellent! but expensive, even in paperback, unless you get the mass market pb. Which I didn’t b/c the illustrated ones give you a better visual. He wrote Hellraiser, the only movie to scare me as a child, and numerous other comics. Abarat was at first opptioned as a quartet but is now a quintet, which made me very happy inside.

NOOOOOO! what’s Mika?

Hey, u r still on!! Well, I think those drawings are cool in a creepishly way. Kinda like..Mel…I’m not even going to try to spell her name, but you know the girl from the Last days!

Mika: THey are an FAWESOME group. You should listen to some of their music. Love today is my fav.

Kadie-Wa

I love Hellogoodbye right now, For the last few months my fave s have been Stuck On You and Homewrecker. What type of music is Mika?

Mika is pop. I’m listing to FOB right now, though. I like them too. I listen to the weirdest music, and then regular stuff too. Probably bc I am surrounded by dance music. My family dances, but I have no cooridnation what so ever. lol I like hellogoodbye too! They are so cool!

Kadie-Wa

I haven’t heard of either of your faves…what style do they sing?

Kadie-Wa

Huh?

Kadie-Wa

Umm, whatever makes me dance?

Yeah, I like music that moves me too, I gotta feel body and soul. SOAD is body, Muse is soul.

Ah! I get it now! I love that kinda music. Do you reolize that the last 20 posts have been you and I?

Kadie-Wa

Yes, we have very pathetic lives…j/k!

*authors

What other aouthors do you like? or books, besides Hp.

Lol. Hmmm…I like Meg Cabot. She’s good. And Oh, I LOVE Justine…uh Lariblester…I can’t spell at all!

Kadie-Wa

Larbalestier, Yeah, I love her too, I actually read her first, then wondered who Scott Westerfeld was, then I read Uglies, then a year later I found out they were married! That explained alot. I love that people who read MorM move on to Uglies or read Uglies then move on to MorM.

MorM? What’s that?

I gotta go now!!

Kadie-Wa

Magic or Madness! Duh! NOOOOOOOO! Now I’m all on my lonesome. At least I still have Leland.

that is so cool! did anyone find out what the title means?

Yeah, Shelby says it means sumfink like Hunting Cool ot Cool Humters.

heyy everyone. that’s cool that it was translated. =P

*or

for the whole movie thing, I hope that they JUST do Uglies… like end with the same exact line as the book ends. “I’m Tally Youngblood, make me pretty” yeahh. that would be totally fawesome. and if they star like a pop princess I will be soo mad. but that’s just if the movie actually is made. >.> lol.

I want the French version: Code Cool.

I hope they use new actors/actresses, ones we’ve never heard of and not people like Hillary Duff, or, god forbid, Jamie Lynne Spears!

i just read that a chinese couple wanted to name their baby @.

omg that would ruin the movie for me! they SHOULD use unknowns. it would make the movie better. because they would use beautiful actresses and stuff and that ruins the point of the book.

lmao what kind of name is “@” ??

Yeah, I read about the @ baby, who cares what you name your child, all names are just words, Hillary means ‘cheerful’ in Old Greek.

Plus it would be easier to make unkowns seem ugly, then creepy pretty, then scary beautiful. rather than using a well known artist, and etc.

I guess it would be easy for them to write their name on their test papers.. lol. yeah it would be easier to make unknowns seem ugly, so on , and so on.

I love Leland Chapman.

hah, I watch Dog the Bounty Hunter a lot. heh.

Isn’t Leland sexy! I gotta go! Ciao!

THE BUTTERFLIES HAVE GUNS!!!! (on potter puppet pals)

OMG I LOVE PPP! I have to go eat dinner so adios people!

hey i wanna get that book and read it except i don’t know Slovenian.
that’s fool that uglies is gonna be a movie, but it’s gonna be hard to make it like the book. i just hope it doesn’t get slaughtered in the process

my friend started calling me Amy-la the other day, and she hasnt read the uglies trilogy. this is what happened:

Rosa: “Hey Amy-la!”
Me: “Uh… I’m only Amy-la online.”
Rosa: “Can I call you Amy-la?”
Me: “OK”
Madaline: I want to call you Amy-la too!”
Me: “OK”

Wow, thats cool. I can speak english, and thats all, so no idea what that says. But I like the cover, it’s really cool!

the cover is so fool! =D

Hmmm…how much did I miss?? Any one else watching So you think you can dance? I hope Sabra wins!!

And Scott, I’m posting this again…I have four three week old kittens: Two girls and two boys and I named them Shay, Tally, Zane and David. When you click on my name, it shows you Shay, but you can see the rest of the kittens pics too!! They are on my name also!!

Just thought that I would add that again!
Kadie-Wa

^^Aww, that’s sooooo cute!

Can you imagine if they used actors such as HSM stars or pop stars? That would totally suck–like, boycott. And they shouldn’t deviate from the book too much; espeically the last line. =D

I agree, Isabella!! THey should use people who like arn’t that known. Or else it would just seem….odd.

Kadie-Wa

you have a new triology coming out!??!?!

i found a website to translate slovenian to english and this is what i got:

hunting party upon kul

i guess it couldnt translate ‘kul’

Hey Gil, if you check up at my fourth comment (the lengthy one), I found a translation that I think works. Yay for things that are re-interpreted for translation.

seeing different covers is totally yumbalie! gotta go decode this now!

for the movie they should use us!!!! that would be awesome but unlikely unless you went to a acting school in new york and were like omg aaudtions i should go etc… i want movie with famous ppl… and then they will be famous… majorly

oops sry suppose to be i DONT want famous ppl etc… wow that can totally come out wrong if ou miss a word… i want contest…

i know because when famous pplz r in movies, you just think of their caracter as how u saw them before! brain-missing producers!

wow did you people stay up all night or something? and kadie-wa, i’ve tried like 20 times by now, and i can’t see the other kitty pics! i can see shay, but when i click on your name it just says “this album is private. please log in.” so can you change your settings so it’s public? b/c i want to see the kitties…

whoa that’s pretty awesome….i posted at 00:01! hehe fawesome (and my fave’s minerva, btw)

Umm, I never said Minerva was my fave, I liked her, but she creeped me out. WAY too peeps for me, Lace and Cal weren’t as horny. But I guess that’s what makes her such a great character. My favorite characters of all his books that I have managed to get my fat little fingers on are Dess, Melissa, Rex, and Zane, and Pearl. But mostly Dess and Rex. So what are your faves?

And Taylor is right, kadie-wa’s album is on private, I didn’t even know you could do that!

Hi!!

I just finished The Last Days and it was fexcellent (lol). But I have to say, I’m really confused about the end. Does Pearl end up with Moz or not?? o.0
And So Yesterday was still the best novel you wrote (in my opinion). Muahahaha. Can’t wait for the Uglies movie. =]

Taylor: Yeah, sorry! I’ll change it to public!

I liked Lace the best, I think. But she said Dued once too many for me.

I would SO wanna be in the movie if he used us!! That would be FAWESOME!!

Kadie-Wa
P.S. I’ll go change the public thing now, so don’t click on this name.

I am now public! but for probably only a few days!!

ohhhhhhhhhhh, so cute and cuddly!

HEY! where did everyone go!? and why hasn’t anyone answered my question? I want a discussion about Peeps, The Last Days, Midnighters, So Yesterday, and the Uglies series! No one at me school knows what I am talking about, plus it’s summer and I am all alone.

I’ll talk…when I get back though. Shopping Spree!! Then soccer tryouts…blech

Kadie-Wa

You say blech to soccer try-outs yet you say blech? Isn’t trying-out for the team optional? Yeah I’m inputing client information under duress, blech! I’m sooper busy.

*what did I say? I confused myself.

omg..i just finished reading the specials…ZANE-LA!! TT_TT i actually cried :’(

I always cry when I read that scene!

oooooook…what is up with the Potter Puppet Pals? Why is Dumbledore always naked?

snape snape severus snape.

I don’t know. Maybe he thinks it is cool?

naked old guys…
uuuhhlllggg!

What is the attraction to PPP?

hi
my fav characters are Dess, zane, and I’m still deciding on who else

what is potter puppet palls
i feel dumb for asking but?

Just check youtube, tye in Potter Puppet Pals, then watch and listen to ‘The Mysterious Ticking Noise’. Your life will change as you know it.

*type

omg i LOVE potter puppet pals! haha i like “bothering snape” the best!

“botherbotherbotherbother…”
“that was fun.”
“i liked the part when he stopped moving!”

lol i probably messed up the dialogue but you get the idea.

and idk why i like minerva the best…she is—well, at the risk of sounding like a screwed-up fairytale—”the horniest of them all,” but i just like her other traits better! she intrigued me with her oddness.

“naked time!”
lol

her other traits better than THAT one. then again, she couldn’t really help it.

i’m making lots of typos today
my third try:
“…her (minerva’s) other traits better than THAT one (her uh, needs?)”

and kadie-wa the kitties are so cute! i like zane the best. again, idk why! i haven’t gotten to go school shopping yet…i told my mom that she has to take me soon or else my 40% off coupon is gonna expire. yay, ae all-access pass! i can’t wait to go though…most of my computer time (when i’m not on this blog) is spent shopping online. not buying anything, just making wishlists. i already have everything picked out that i want. lol i’m like OCD or something.

sorry for the triple post!

Taylor: I’m the same way I make wishlists all the time when I’m not on here and my favorite store is AE.

I getta go school shoppin on sunday which should be a lot of fun b/c i’m going w/ one of my best friends and our mothers.

Then back to school on Monday… =( …when do you guys go back?

i go the 4th

the ppp was pretty funny

I haven’t gone school cloths shopping yet either my sister went today but she wouldn’t let me go. i keep denying schools not here yet by not going

have you seen the count of Monte Crisco
dumbledore is naked in one of the scenes it was so gross we watched it in school.

*clothes

yeah i’m big on wishlists…i’m usually the only one that see’s them, for birthdays/hanukkah i just ask for gift cards rather than specific items.

kaylee: AE’s the store that i probably shop at the most often, it’s the only one of my fave stores that the mall in my town has! i have to drive an hour to get to this HUGE mall, which is where i go for school shopping & for a few other times a year. i wish i could go shopping on sunday! but both my mom and i have to work…i sound like a shopaholic…which i kinda am…lol.

kelsey, are you going school shopping on the 4th or does your school start on the 4th? i’m going school shopping on the 28th, and i still don’t know when the first day of school is for me!

footnote for above comment: small town, small mall! yeah, stinks pretty badly at times…

OHHH! You are doing a trilogyy called Leviathan? That rocks, I’m already excited

is anyone else watching HSM2? i feel kinda idiotic watching it, but hey, it was the soundtrack to my bball season! it will foever hold a special place in my heart…

lol melodramatic much?

more typos…*forever*

that’s what i get for not reading it over before hitting the submit button

haha yes i’m watching HSM2 also. lol. my town is small too. all we have in our mall is JCPennys, Maurices, the Buckle, Halmark, Radio Shack, Bath & Body, Claires, Gordmans, a nail place, a vitamin store or something like that and an old lady store..dk wut its called…oh and a movie theater…its pretty lame.

here’s of the stores in my mall (there might be a couple more but i can’t remember): JCP, bon-ton, maurices, hallmark, bath & body, claires, AEO, target, deb (where nearly every girl in my school—including me—gets their homecoming dress), a sears, a sporting goods store whose name i can’t recall, movie theater, and i think that’s it! my teeny tiny mall. i wish i could go school shopping w/ one of my friends…hmmm…maybe i’ll make a call. lol but seriously that’d be fun to go with a friend and/sans their mom. most of them will have probably finished their shopping by then though.

ok this is probably the corniest movie in the northern hemisphere (i can’t speak for australia). i can’t believe i’m weatching but I CAN’T LOOK AWAY! lol x2.

you guys are lucky i have to drive a half hour to go to a mall with old navy, Gotshalks, target, Ross, and a few other small stores. My town is so small that unless you drive an hour the movie theatre only plays 1 movie a week. 8,000 people to be exact

school starts the 4th i think I’m ging shopping next weekend

*theater

*watching* (i’m averaging .5 typos per comment. yeah i made that up)

whoa…i just went to the HUGE mall’s website and there’s over 250 stores! i knew there were a lot but i didn’t know there were that many! i guess some are probably like womens’ shops, some mens’ shops, and some just ones that i don’t shop at. man oh man i can’t wait to go—all this thinking about shopping is making me more excited to go shopping.

shop/shops/shopping count: 5

wow…and i thought i had it bad. if i drive a half an hour theres like three or four pretty good sized malls–(thats where i’m going shopping on sunday)–and our movie theater here plays i think 7 shows-(it just got re-done)-which is pretty fool cuz theres like the chairs rock are are really comfy. but your lucky u don’t have to go back till the 4th. my summer is pretty much over….sadly only one more party..its gonna be pretty huge though..all the freshman are invited to my friends house and then a bunch of ppl from another school are coming too. its gonna be crazy.

my town only has 933 permanent residents in it (i did a project for school, ok?) but the next town over has something like 15,000 to 20,000 and that’s the small mall that i usually go to. so i guess it’s not really in my town, but it’s 10 minutes away from me so whatever.

oh wait, there are some outlet stores (that are actually in my town), like tommy hilfiger (but i don’t shop there), pac sun (i DO shop there!), and coach (i don’t even own any designer handbags, i’ve only been in there twice!)

HSM2 doesn’t come on for another hour here my sister is watching tv and there is a little clock ticking away the min. and sec. in the corner on Disney channel

my town doesn’t even have a walmart
but it’s really fun here in the summer b/c theres this huge lake and it’s really pretty so everyone comes here to stay. So we all hang out at the lake,and i don’t really like to that much but the big thing amung teenagers here is to jump off the briges

movie theater note (i’m such a late commenter): the movie theater in the next town over has 8, uh, movie-showing rooms? idk how many shows there are a week.

and yeah i had that little clock thingie on mine too…i DVRed it for my friend b/c she had to work tonight and now i can watch it over and over and over and…you get the point!

hey kelsey are we from the same town? b/c you basically described where i live right there!

*bridges*

my lake is 32 miles long , and the reason i said “permanent residents” before is b/c in the summer the population goes up to 15,000 to 20,000, that’s how many people own/rent lake houses or stay in hotels/motels or camp in RVs/tents. it’s a major tourist destination i guess

and at the beach in my town there’s this pier that all me & the other kids in my school jump off of.

although that’s kinda implausible if HSM2 already came out where i am…lol nvm!

alone, alone, alone…well, to get back on topic, where’s my hebrew uglies trilogy? ok not spot-on topic, but close enough.

im here….watching mtv cribs. sry if i don’t talk a ton.

whats your fave movie? …mine is Dejavu have you seen it?

so am i all alone now?

im back i’m babysitting and i had to feed, give her a bath and put her to bed so now i’m here

haven’t seen it but i want to

o its really good…very suspensful.

so whats your favorite movie?

that’s hard…I’ll think about it
lets do fav songs mines hey there Delilah

Hillary!, blech to soccer, because I’m SO SICK of soccer lately. That’s all!!

Kadie-Wa

ooo yea i love that song…we always end up singing it at softball practice cuz theres this girl named Delilah.

my favorite band is The Fray. wuts yours?

Kelsey described my city too…hmmm. lol

I like Zane the best too!! He’s SO adorible!

Kadie-Wa

the guardian was good not really my fav though
have u guys seen hairspray the kid in HSM1&2 is in it

Kelsey, you mean Zac Efron? Lol

Kadie-Wa

yea i really like the guardian too. and nope i haven’t seen hairspray i wanted to but never got time.

have you seen posiedon? or however you spell it.

hmmm…well I gotta go now, just wanted to say that I updated the Pics of the kitties!! Ta ta!

Kadie-Wa

posie what I’ve never heard of it what’s it about? i didn’t see any previews on TV

o its like a remake of an older movie i think idk it was on my rent a movie thing on my tv…its about these ppl on a cruise ship and this huge wave comes and knocks the ship over and like this group of ppl trys to make their way up to the bottom of the ship b4 it sinks and theres like all this stuff that happens to them…its great! can you tell i like suspensful stuff.

well im gonna go i have a softball game tomorrow morning. ttyl.

sounds kinda like titanic lol
is any one else there?

ok bi then

haha, i see the posts have been filling up with people having private conversations with each other. in public.

hooray!

hold on,
before it’s too late
or until we leave this behind…

lol i have the goo goo dolls stuck in my head…i’m changing my site back to them for now.

and since i shut off the computer before kaylee came back (and since i have nothing better to do) i’m gonna answer all questions asked since then.

~fave movie: stick it! (i have a lot of gymnast friends)
~fave song: i can’t pick just one so i’ll do three—”Name” by the goo goo dolls, “Lo Bueno Tiene un Final” by nelly furtado (spanish version of another one of her songs), and “touchdown turnaround” by hellogoodbye.
~fave artist: goo goo dolls (but nelly furtado and HGB are at a tie for 2nd)
~haven’t seen hairspray but i REALLY want to.
~seen poseidon 2 times
~haven’t seen deja vu, looks good tho!
~haven’t seen the guardian

no one really cares but w/e! again, boredness…

the cover says: Hunting party upon Kul.
weird.

Hey, Taylor, I’m EXTREMELY bored too. I don’t know what to do. I’m actually thinking of cleaning my room. Since it is a downpoor ova here…

I think I’m going to start a new topic…does anyone have a new topic? Ou OU OU!! I know we can continiu the other one….Does anyone play an instrument? I play four. Recorder, Hulusi, Piano, and French Horn!!!

Kadie-Wa

There’s going to be a HSM 3!

Kadie-Wa 45 days until Extras!
or 1 month 14 days or
3,888,000 seconds or
64,800 minutes or
1080 hours or
6 weeks
That’s really not that long, if you think about it. It’s like another summer Vaca!

I play violin and piano. but mostly violin. what the heck is a Hulusi?!?!

i camt wait for extras to come out!!!

Cool!! I wish i could play the Violin. It’s so pretty sounding. And it’s pretty too. My piano is like 200 years old. It’s a different kind of pretty…the kind i don’t like. lol jk.

A Hulusi is a Chineese woodwind. It’s really cool sounding. But finding music is EXTREMELY hard to do because I don’t speek chineese and I can’t read it either, so it’s hard. but every once and a while I’ll find some music in english.

Kadie-Wa

I can’t wait for the Extras either!! It’s not that far away at all!!!! AHHH!!!1 but school on the other hand…that’s going to bee soon….:(

Kadie-Wa

cool! my dad is 100% chinese and he speaks it too! my grandma has taught me some, but only like some food, hello and good-bye, that kind of stuff. i tottally have to try and get my friends into Uglies! one of them is reading the first one right now and she likes it so far. she thought it was boring in the beginning though. i never thought ti was boring! but she’s only at the part where the Specials come to the Smoke. Who do you think you’re more like, Tally or Shay. i’m more like shay, misterious, outgoing, and willing to try anything. but in a way im like Tally, always cautious and thinking things through!

hey
I’m probably more like tally but, with some things i’m like shay.

i don’t play any instruments but I’ve always wanted to learn. i took piano lessons in fourth grade but that didn’t last long.

i now own 8 books by scott.
first i bought uglies and pretties
then specials
then midnighters 1-3 and peeps
and now the last days.

i would be reading the last days now, but i also bought new moon and eclipe today. (im currently reading new moon)

3,888,000 seconds till extras comes out

I think I’m more like Shay…a rebil. She likes to do things her own way, and that’s totally me!

Yay!! Only 3888000 more seconds!(Thanks Amy-La!) I’m going to start counting…1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9…

Kadie-Wa

WOOOOOOOO I got it I got it *does a dance* thanks Scott!!! (just got my sampler if people didn’t guess)

Hmm it’s odd they changed the title of the book when they translated it =S And I noticed that you weren’t informed about what they changed it to…Isn’t that bad?

I want to get So Yesterday so bad. But I only had $10 on me when I went to the bookstore and it was a choice between that or The Last Days, and I’ve been dying to find out what happens after Peeps that The Last Days won. So Yesterday is next on my list though ;P

that’s a lot of seconds!
just sing… 3888000 bottles of pop on the wall, 3888000 bottles of pop… that’s my fav. song!

Hehe, I like it Lizzy-Wa!

Kadie-Wa
586 Bottles of pop on the walls 586 bottles of POP!! Take one down pass it around 587 bottles of pop on the wall!
I’m counting up so that’s why the song is backwords.

i only own 1 scott book…just so yesterday. at the time i’d already read uglies and pretties (specials hadn’t come out yet) and midnighters 1-3, and after i finished it i made my friend read it and ended up turning her into a scott fan!

but now i’ve read all of his books except the risen empire and evolution’s darling. i wanted to read e.d. but my mom said she wanted to read it first since it was an “adult book.” she deemed it to be too explicit (or whatever) for me. then again, that was a year ago…i should try again!

i used to play the clarinet, but i decided to stop this year b/c i’m not as into it as i was before. i’ve played it since 3rd grade though, and now i’m going into 9th, so i certainly got some time out of it!

I know this is from something you posted a while back, but I’m just thinking, here.
In regards to giving out prizes for little contests (that don’t include obsessive refreshing), why not an art contest? Who drew a character of yours the best? Or maybe a writing contest - the best short story from the point of view of a character of yours, wins.
I really hope you come up with a new contest soon, I’m all for competition!

i only own the Uglies trilogy of scotts books…when Extras comes out im gonna buy that and a few other of scotts books on amazon.com probably.

i started out on the clarinet in 5th grade and then switched to the alto sax in 6th grade. last year i started playing the barry sax. and now im playing the alto sax for marching band and then i’ll play the barry sax later in the year for regular band…well thats what i think im gonna do anyway….haven’t totally decided yet.

ughhhhh…the closer monday comes the more i don’t wanna go to school. way nervous-making.

I’ve been playing piano since 3d grade, and I picked up the french horn in 6th grade. And the Hulusi I’ve been playing for….I think 3 years. And recorder (if that counts) since 3d grade also.

I like that idea Haley Ray, maybe we can all try to draw the best moving tattoos or somthing. tht would be fun!

Kadie-Wa

i look at some sites i think its something like hunting for cool or a hunt for cool

Cool website! Many thanks. Your web site is helpful. Very nicely done. I will be back!

my mom’s making me pick out a new backpack for school since my old one’s getting, well, old. i’m sad though. the one i really liked is “out of stock”…but on a peppier note, i got to go shopping at ae yesterday! used my 40% off coupon, but i still can’t go to the HUGE mall (yes that’s its name now because i said so) until next tuesday.

ugh…i really don’t want school to start!

Scott i must insist you post again i have no time to hardly breathe during the week now that school has started which means i have absolutely nothing to do on the weekends which means i’m continually bored so all there is to do is check my myspace, check postsecret, and check your blog i am in a continous cycle of this pleez help make my weekend and post!

scott better post soon… ppl are getting back into chatting…. hmmm…. but to add to it… i played the violin in 4th grade gave it up by 5 th grade fo rthe clarinet adn wanted to take a break from it in 6th cuz it was the big middle school transsition… wanted back 7th grade but i couldnt… so ya instruments not so well with me…

scott post… clap clap…

this is my closest, hooray

oh darn!

NOOOO I was off by seconds!!! Dang you my slow internet connection! *throws comcast out the window*

NOOO!!!

ne

OMG

ahhh…checkin email for 1 secondd

Hi! I’m a great fan of your series uglies. well i stayed up to 1 o clock in the morning, just to try and see if i could win. well unfortunately not, but i wanted to know if i could join in the game even if i live in france?

I have an idea on how people can win without timing! You can ask a difficult or semi-difficult trivia question about Uglies, Pretties, or Specials, and the first person to post the right answer wins!

WOW! I comment on the last blog, and this jumps up at me!!

Futura and Garamond

dang, i play a game for 2 minutes and look what happens!

Awesome

I have an idea on how people can win without timing! You can ask a difficult or semi-difficult trivia question about Uglies, Pretties, or Specials, and the first person to post the right answer wins!

And that way you truly know that a fan who is dedicated to the book and deserves to win wins the first chapter of Extras.

nooooooooooooooooooooo

I have an idea on how people can win without timing! You can ask a difficult or semi-difficult trivia question about Uglies, Pretties, or Specials, and the first person to post the right answer wins!

Sorry just one last time…I think it’s a good idea…lol. Ok this is the last time I’ll say it…

=D You are a very cruel man. I like your style.

Oops. I’m a little trigger happy. Heh heh. Probably because I’m not supposed to be on the compy. Futura Garamond and Hillary Winston.

Virginie-

Of course you can win in France. You could win right now! The trivia question is still unanswered.

Hillary and Futura!

it is??!!!

ooohhh my bad i guess i shouldve read the blog first…sooorrrryyy…great minds think alike though =)

haha cool he’s talking…

Well a way you could give a book away is having everyone write an essay about why they think they deserve the book. That is always fun to do. It would help depict your fans.

Sarala says: Hillary and Futura!

Read the post carefully for the proper way to answer. For each character, you must give the first name and both last names.

Everybody reads the Uglies series… hasn’t anybody read so yesterday? haha. i bet everyone’s kicking themselves now.

damn myspace

Braque and crap

Congrats to whoever wins it. It’ll probably be Sarala…

i give up lol..

I’m seriously giddy right now.
And I don’t get giddy.
Trivia sounds like fun, but I don’t have any idea. Good luck to you trivia goers!

opps i read it VERY wrong

ahhhhhhhh, the ONE book I haven’t read by scott had to be the one the question is ON!
and Morgan: that would still be about timing! “The First One”
actually Morgan the questions should be about any book because the true fans have read all his books

I don’t think obscure trivia facts is any better, because that just helps your ego more than this first type of contest did.

Next time you’ve got author’s copies of books, from the next BEA or whatever, you ought to just let go in one shot, that way it’s over and done with. It really steams me how this is continueing, it’s like everyone is too focused on winning a prize than what you’ve got to say, and I used to really like reading your writing advice, because I’m going to be the next J.K. Rowling and your tips were interesting, and now it’s just one great big pay homage and grovel to get a book sampler from Scott Westerfeld. Really unattrative.

This being vented, I understand that everyone makes mistakes, and I really think you goofed up here.

Mandy Wilkins/Jenkins and Hilary Winston Smith, or, as Hunter puts it, Hilary Winston-Hyphen Smith.

Mandy Wilkins/Jenkins and Hilary Winston Smith

Oh GR! oh well maybe next time…

hilary winston-smith and Mandy Jenkins wilkins

maybe instead of writing an essay, the person who writes the best short story that takes place in the uglies time should win the sampler

aw totally unfool, my sis wouldn’t let me grab the book. grr. my sis is sarahla and she won’t let me post on my compy.

that wouldnt be fair to the peole that cant write.. like me lol

Ok… I lost track of time….big time. lol.

Allichie :

I think I like your idea a lot better. It would be fun to write a story based on the Uglies Trilogy.

Ooooh. I have an idea, the person who makes the best idea wins a sampler, as well as the person who completes it. Hmm…. such as, the best blurb writing for one of Scott’s books.

it would be far because anyone can write! and it would be really fun!

wait, I spelled fair wrong

gee the question is hard but truth be told i hardly understood the book oh well i guess i should reread it for my own good.

Ally-Wa :

You have an excelent point.
So now all we have to do is think of a way that doesn’t include needing speed and needing a great ability at writing.

Another really cool thing we could do is to draw.

P.s. A spider just landed on my computer.

Well! I’m French and i only just discovered your work a few months ago, so i don’t know all the books yet. I can’t compete on this one, but maybe next time i’ll have more chance;o)
Anyway, really i wanted to tell you taht i really like the series Uglies, but i just hope that Extras will end a better way;o)
Well good night everybody!

anyone can write, you just need a good idea

That is true, but people can get really bad writers block.

Hmm we could have a FanArt contest where anyhting that has to relate to his books win.. rather it be writing, drawing, or what I do photography

and there could be a conetest for each set of books

So much fun ideas.

Scott :
Just to let you know you’re a very popular author at my library, your books are always checked out and on request.

thats a pretty good Idea actually

Hmm . . . fifteen minutes. And I thought that was a really hard one. The wisdom of the crowd. (And well done, IndigoEyes.)

Next time you’ve got author’s copies of books, from the next BEA or whatever, you ought to just let go in one shot, that way it’s over and done with

Well, th eproblem is that not everyone can be at BEA. In fact, almost nobody under 25 is there. And these were left over anyway. I’m trying to distribute these samplers in a way that’s fun. But so far it’s kind of messing with the usual interchange of blogging, I agree.

Look, I’ve got lots of samplers; they have to go somewhere. What’s a better idea?

Scott, since you spelled Sarah’s name wrong, she’s now calling you Westerfield. Haha. The joys of being an innocent onlooker.

That way everybody can win.. and there could be a deadline

The problem with a writing (or drawing) contest is that I’d have to judge it, which would mean reading and judging 100s of entries. Yikes.

Haha, that would be hazardous.

true true

Well, we could all play poker for the books.

acctually there has been 180 people post since the Extras page one. I counted and listed.

I would say to donate them to the orphans, but they would need to read the first 3 books.

Yeah, it is a good idea. First commenter is just luck, and this is something more. It’s your blog, your books, so why not do this? It’s fun and seems way less stressful than refresh-refresh-refresh all day.

And I’m happy I won.:)

I got confused. But, ugggghhh, I’ve got all the Midnighters and Uglies but none of the others! But I got here too late anyway, though still…
Maybe next time =] (Being optimistic never seems to work).

Hmmm . . . I kinda want to go play Final Fantasy, but I always remember that i’m supposed to start over from when i last died.
*sigh*

>.> I feel left alone.
You all should check out the myspace layout I made. It’s the Uglies Trilogy.

http://www.myspace.com/ye_be_warned

how is this going to work when we r in school cuz everyone has differnet timezones unless there is one time when we r all out. Or we would have to do it on weekends..

:/

Pachow! Yes that was an action sound.
Idk, I’m trying with all my will power to think of something.

darn it i knew that answer too. i just read so yesterday a few weeks ago! oh well thats what i get for going to dinner…

i can’t think of anything that doesn’t involve timing or judging or randomness. i think the trivia questions are fantastic, though. that way at least it’s timing and relates back to the reason we’re all here in the first place–your books.

all together, I say that there is no more than about 200 people that post here regularly, give or take…. man this is hard, i can’t think of anything thats not time based, but i like the whole trivia idea, but i guess that means i should start the midnighters trilogy haha i was gonna wait till school started… oh well

. . . This food quiz just said I was a tomato.

i’. a very bad writer when i am on the internet as you can tell, but guys i also have a problem… I have Uglies, Pretties, and Specials, but i only have Specials in hard cover. I was wanting the rest in hard cover too, but i can only find them at amazon, ebay, etc. Problem with that is i do not have a credit card im only 16, and Books-a-Million doesn’t have any. Do they do special orders there??

Well Scott’s book Specials is in hard cover until September 28th I think. Well that’s what the book lady told me.

They would be hilary winston smith and Mandy Jenkins Wilkins

Specials comes out in paperback on September 11. (Yes, 9/11.)

Hmm . . . 200 people.

What a sad day 9/11 is, But it will be happy because that’s the day I actually get to buy it instead of requesting it again.

It’s just hard backs are so expensive these days. I always have to wait for them darn paperbacks.

Thanks for the info, but I was actually meaning all of them in hard cover, but yea maybe 200 is a stretch because a lot of people double, triple, and quadruple post. But thanks for answering my question. I like you, you are the only celebrity that you can actually stay in contact with (that i now of).

Let’s just keep it that when even when your movie comes out.

You could pick a random #
for this one, I suggest picking #91

I think I hate myself.
I’ve been on the site all day.
And like hours later Scott
makes a post. -.-

Tis alright. He will probably will post again soon.

Ya know that comment i just made doesn’t make any sence.

Maybe quotations from a character and people have to guess which character said it and in which book.

Ex: “Thank you Jess. See, Mom? Totally polite.”

Ex: “You stay. I can make it to Pulcher okay.”

Who can guess those?

Well that would be time, and some people with the books would have a better advantage at that.

beth said the first one and I think it was from the 2nd Midnighters book?

Snort. Well i’m gonna go watch Die Hard.

I meant 92, stephany got to the submit button before me!

xD or he could pick the 100th post. lol.

It was the third book, but yea it was Beth.

The problem is that the random number system would encourage folks posting many, many contentless posts in hopes of being one of those numbers, like putting lots of chips down at the roulette wheel. (Not that YOU guys would do that.)

What we’d all like it to return to the mannerly days of yore, when eveyone was all about the content. (Plus, saying they were first!) Mind you, there’s plenty of that going on over at Inside a Dog right now.

Anyway, I’ll keep thinking over the weekend.

Thanks for all your input!

Scott, what about a contest to figure out your middle name? Or something about you that no one knows? If your worried about people making too many random guesses make Hope I helped a little!

sorry my last post was messed up…I meant if your worried about random guesses set a limit. Such as no more than 3 guesses per person

Yeah but people could use different names & have more than one email.

omg!!! i didnt get first because i fell asleep. and i havent read so yesterday so i dont know the answer! scott, do a question for the uglies trilogy or peeps!

Perhaps you could randomly draw a name from everyone who comments or ask a question, start a comment, and give one away to the person who’s answer you like best. *Shrugs* They were the only non-time based ideas that popped into my head.

I meant to say start a discussion, not start a comment. *baffs self in head*

I like the writing contest idea. But Scott is right. He would have to judge them and read ALL the entries, and who has time for that??? Hmmm…thinking of a contest that is both fun and efficient is pretty tough. Trivia is good so that should keep going on. Hmmmm…

I agree with Katherine.

Ask a question.
Go through all your best answers.
Then pick the one you most like.

Scott’s middle name is David.

I win! lol jk

you could set a character limit on the answer for your question, too.. or maybe you could ask a question and set rules for the answer.. like you can only use one word.. and it has to be a tridecalogism.

i think a writing contest would be too much work for poor Scott, but something along those lines would be better. perhaps he can post some sort of a theme based on one of his books, or maybe just something totally random, (like what is the strangest ice cream flavor? or if you lived in the world after specials, what kinds of surge would you want?) and the best answer of couple for answers in the first 75 posts gets the sampler. i have noticed it takes just a few hours to get to 100 posts, so that is still somewhat time based, but if you go pee or go out to dinner you won’t miss out. also, it does take some creativity and brains, but it is shorter so i could see Scott almost enjoying judging something like that.
what does everyone think?

also, when are the Extras shirts being given out? and are there ugly pretty and special shirts?

they r going to be givin out on Inside A Dog but idk when.

I can’t believe it. At this rate, i’m never going to win…….unfortunately, i haven’t read So Yesterday so i don’t know the answer

Well, I guess the way you give them out depends on how many you have…

i like the question idea and the person with the best answer in 75 posts wins. but it cant be trivia (like the one up top). it would be like, would you rather live in the smoke, or get the operation to turn pretty? then explain why in under 100 words. (i just wrote a little over 50 to give u an idea how many words 100 would be.)

im gonna answer my own question. i would get the operation, even if i knew about the lesions. I HATE CAMPING so that is why i would get the operation, even if it meant losing everything i was. hmm… when you put it that way, maybe i would live in the smoke. hmmm… live in the smoke or lose everythingi was. yea, i would get the operation. (at least i would be a pretty)

I think the pick a favorite answer thing is kind of unfair. People might get mad at him for favoritism or say that people were sucking up and stuff.

Amy-La I agree that it would be a fun and creative way to win, but Scott said himself that he would have to read through and judge them all and he doesn’t really have time for that.

Hmm personally I like the trivia.

i think trivia is the best solution

This isn’t contributing, but I found a little bitty glitch in Midnighters.

Rex:When were you born, Jess?

Jessica:Huh? You mean this is because I’m a Leo?

And THEN, in book two, she says to Jonathan:

“Yeah, and I’m only two months till my drivers test.”

See, Leo is mid-July to mid-August. Jessica said it would be two months in September. If she really was a Leo,it would be more like ten.

Yeah, I’m enough of a nerd I’ve got nothing better to do than read my favourite books again and again until I find tiny little things like that. But still, did anybody else notice?

Trivia seems the best way to go to me. I can’t think of anything else, anyway.

Hello! I’ve been watching this game go on for a while. I haven’t bothered posting ’cause I’ve been at work earning $ for college practically every time Scott has posted. (note I said working for college. Yes, take pity on the poor girl who has to work so hard, she no longer has time for play anymore. (ya right))
But ’cause I too would really like to win, I thought I’d speak up with some ideas.
Personally, I like the drawing idea. It takes up less time than reading a bunch of entries. And really good art often pops out. It’s easier to judge in my opinion. Also you could have second and third place winners. Of course I wouldn’t do an art contest for all of them though.
You could also give a copy to who ever comes up with a super good contest idea that’s original and works well.
Hmmm that’s all I can think of right now. Hope I helped in some way!

Trivia works for me.

But none on The Last Days, because I still can’t find it.

Here, how about if I win, you just send me The Last Days? Haha.

Bak from Camp!!! I have no idea what to do a comp about. I like the first 75 post thing, but what about ppl who only have less that an hour a day spare time its still a timing thing,

i know alot of people are trying to figure out different ways to make this competetion/contest (whatever you would like to call it) better but writing and art work takes judging and time to upload plus its not totally based off scott’s books which the trivia works well, testing our knowledge of all his books (seeing who is a full front fan or just trying to get more sales..lol..) everyone is able to remember or look up the questions and doesn’t have to worry about talent or being judged, you would either be wrong or right not it was good but not good enough (kinda like how ally-wa keeps getting second) well thats all i have to say, i guess but even though scott is listing the times of when he will post i still end up staying up all night reading his books (they are way to addicting) (its 130am here… he he)

Sarah, I am in the same shape, but i can’t draw so thats out for me haha. I think that is limiting for some people who cant draw…

Everyone can draw, it just takes practise,
people!

i like what you said kheidi-la lol its 2:17 am and im reading maureens book.

ha! i cannot draw either. and i’ve had practice, believe me. i could probably get better at it with time (lots and LOTS of time), but some people are just naturally good at it. i still think the trivia is the best idea, as long as there are questions from all the different books (or trilogies, whatev) so that people who haven’t read every single one of the books still get a shot.

Hi! It’s me again! Well for the contest i suggest riddles about yous books. We would have to guess which character or event you’re talking about…

well… the trivia idea is good… but what if you tried to do a 50th post wins competition, but you can only post once (to win it).

or the (really ) short stories idea is good, but then you have to read all of them.

I’m just upset that you always post at like 1 a.m. (for me) because i live in the U.K.

riddles is good

ok well i think instead of the first person t opost everytime you post you shoudl pick a secret number and whoever answers on that number should get one, then it’s not a race and you dont have to first aslo totalt random and peopl aren’t freaking caus ethey lost they wont know and you can annonce the winner in your next post

This is another judging idea, but I was thinking that everyone could have a time limit to put one entry in. Say, 10 hours? Only one entry per person. And the entry would be something short, so Scott would be able to judge it really quickly. Like, the BEST FIRST SENTENCE. (That is not from any book, it has to be original) “Where’s Papa goin’ with that axe?’ or something like that is an example of an interesting first sentence from a book.

Quinton- Ya, I thought about that. It’s true though, some people just can’t draw no matter how much they practice. Which is unfair. But so is trivia ’cause some people have jobs and other things. It has nothing to do with who’s the greater fan (aren’t we all because we are here?) and more to do with, who has the $ to own the books, and who has the time?
But I do like Lydia’s idea with the secret number. That’s the kind of innovated thinking we need. I also like the riddles ’cause that way we don’t necessarily need to have the books on hand to find the answer. We’d just have to use our own heads.

You could also do something like a scrambled word. Something from the books.

For Example: sdondemae

Which is Desdemona (From Midnighters)

or: starpaie vpetisio

Which is Parasite Positive (From Peeps)

It takes a little thinking and then people can’t be sad when they don’t have a book to look riddles up. It can range from easy to hard depending on the word(s) and stuff.

I can’t think of anything…..

So with teh contest thing. If you wanted to see how many of us are stalkers..you ask a question about yourself and sees who answers right. Thta would be creepy yet hilarious at teh same time XD

Virginie, the French girl, if you see this, I just wanted to say I’m from Montreal and my first language is French. On se comprend toutes les deux! Lol sorry didn’t know what else to say in French.
Anyway, the trivia is better than just the first comment, but I think it’s still crazy. Fifteen minutes before the question was answered. Sheesh! I can never compete with that, even if it’s only because I can’t remember when you say you’ll next post.

Man this sucks for people without high speed internet

My initial idea was for the last commenter to get the prize, but that might get too tricky. So I’ve got no ideas. I’ll have to think a little more. Maybe you should pick a random numbered post to win and make it different each time. (Well, then people might post ten times in a row…) I give up. My brain is dead. I’d just stick with the trivia and hope people stop freaking out and getting the right answer after 15 minutes.

I can’t think of anything that doesn’t involve speed, randomness, or judging…so at the moment I think it would be best to pick a random number (like 146) and give the sampler to that post. Obviously, that would have problems too, but it would be better than obsessive refreshing.

Okay so i was reading the comments (yes that is how boring my life is i try to read EVERY SINGLE comment before i post one) and i noticed scott asked for some new ideas for the contest so here are mine:
1. First person on Scotts doorstep tomorrow wins all the samplers to distribute at will.
2. Scott takes the books over to a local park sits on a bench and tosses the books onto the ground. I’m sure that all his desperate frantic readers will come flocking in seconds (like pigeons to breadcrumbs).
Just kidding. those are not my real ideas. i’m just trying to make a point that this whole contest thing is getting out of hand. and i hope that no one makes a surprise visit to scotts home anytime soon. my serious idea is this:
3. stick to the trivia! I personally think it is a pretty good idea (and i’m not just sucking up to you. but if you want to give me i sampler/t-shirt for being nice feel free). but maybe instead of asking just one question , make a whole quiz. then it may take a little longer than 15 minutes to answer.
i’m really glad you got rid of the first-to-comment-wins thing. that was insane.

lol. I really like this trivia thing, but I don’t actually own any copies myself… I’ll have to like, go hoard them all from the library.

No matter what kind of contest you do, it will always be somewhat random, because there’s no way to completely eliminate it without being unfair to other people. So you have to choose between randomness and fairness. The trivia is also good because it shows who the nerdiest fans are, and therefore who is most deserving of a prize, although it is slightly unfair to those who have just recently heard of Scott or haven’t spent mondo amounts of time rereading Scott’s books. But nonetheless, nerds are cool, and nerds deserve books.

ok surely whoever gets the samplers will like post it on the net for everyone to read ? so who cares who gets it , just so long as whoever gets it cba to type it out for everyone.
but im guessing whoever gets it cba to type it out so yeah the trivia thing is a good idea, or you could like play a wheres wally style thing by posting something on your site people have to find ?

sorry i meant *buy* it anyway

uh i think typing out the whole sampler and posting it on the internet would be like illegal. unless like scott or his publishers did it. i dont really know tho. where’s wally is fun!
Marflanda: you are right. nerds do deserve books. but seriously scott why dont you just like sell the samplers on ebay $$$? or give them to goodwill?? or go out on the street corner and give them to random people who pass by??? i dont think i really even want a sampler anymore. i know i’m just going to go right out and but it anyway.

kim in post 112, how can we post with out getting mixed up. i guess that i could change my name? or maybe we could put our last initial or do a number? post and tell me what you think.

scott, you posted like 4 times. i was out of town.

like the trvia idea.

ideas are hard things to come up with.
a good way that is fair for people to win samplers is…
a search game.
have people find a picture of what they think a character from your book looks like.
example.
tally when she is an ugly.
-the person will find a picture of what they think tally looks like at this stage, the person that closest matches your idea of tally as an ugly wins.

and instead of spreading it out in a bunch of blogs, you can just do a bunch of characters at one time and have a deadline.
then you will only have to go through the pictures once.
and then you can get more than one winner to give out all the copies.

i know it is a lame idea but whatever.
it was worth a try.

p.s. then there is no deal with time as long as you get the picture in by deadline.

p.p.s. if there are doubles of pictures, then they all win samplers.
:]

or we could guess what his next post is going to be about?

i am the kim that posted in #153

I liked the Trivia and thought it worked well,
ahhh i was anoyed it was the one time when I wasn’t near the books!

argh…figures he posts when i’m at dinner w/ family. i’m mad–not just because the dinner came up at the last second, when i was already waiting for scott to post, but because I KNEW THE ANSWER TO THE TRIVIA QUESTION! darn it well i have nothing to do tomorrow at 7 aso i willbe ready and waiting when the time comes…although i still probably won’t win it!

but yeah i agree w/ most other people here: the trivia is a great idea!

and congratulations to Kailyx and IndigoEyes!

How about a fan-fiction contest? We could write in a first page of a fan-fic, and Scott would choose the most compelling one. That would be the preliminary. After which those who had won that, they would enter their fan fiction. Ranging in size from short story to novelett (Sp?). And the winner would get one of the remaining books.

Does this sound feasible?

This way it would give the more sluggish typists a chance to win.

((And the more sluggish thinkers. Sorry about the double post.))

Ah, and it could have a deadline…

I just think that with this it wouldn’t have to be first come first serve…

Sorry about the triple post. My thoughts come in spurts and flashes.

I have an idea. What about a quote contest? People can post a quote from the Uglies series (it really should be them, I think, because it is Extras, after all) in a comment, and Scott can pick the one he likes best as the winner.

Here’s the catch: When you post your quote, you must also vote for someone else’s quote. If you don’t vote, your quote is disqualified.

The votes will help narrow down the list for Scott to pick from, so that his brain doesn’t explode from trying to choose between about 30,000 quotes.

Oh, and if more than one person posts the same quote, the first person who posted it gets credit for it, and all other postings of that same quote count as votes for that quote.

Also, the winning quote will be chosen *no less* than 24 hours after the blog post goes up, so that everyone has plenty of time to check in and put in a quote without racing madly around in circles. *grin*

Just an idea.

~Mary

Addendum: why quotes instead of trivia questions or fan-fic stories?

The quotes would have nothing to do with timing, unlike the trivia answers, and they are much shorter and easier to judge than stories.

~Mary

Or there could be more than one contest

Or…..we could make up a quote, that way it would be more original than just finding quotes from a book

do we have to hold a quote contest?

i love (i mean i seriously LOVE) the uglies series, but i don’t own any of the books! i have so yesterday, but all of his other books i’ve just gotten from the library! i’m sorry, i’m probably the only person here who doesn’t own all the books, but it doesn’t mean i don’t want to get a sampler!

so scott, when you’re going through all the contest ideas, try to keep your devoted library readers in mind! i can take trivia questions, but contests where the books are directly involved (like picking quotes, et cetera) leave me a little bit handicapped when it comes to being the first person to answer correctly…muchas gracias!

you are not the only one with out the books belive me! i dont have the uglies books i lent them to a friend and they havnt returned them. I agree with you there!

Taylor I dont own all his books either but that would be pretty much the coolest thing ever!! Well Scott congrations. you now have an offical section in the bookstore by my house! It is my personal favorite area Well i am totally stoked for Extra’s to come out and i will be waiting in line for my copy.!!

yay i feel wanted…lol jk. but it’s good to know i’m not the only one who doesn’t own all the books. and patricia jane, i agree that it would be completely awesome–eventually i want to own all the books.

and i hope scott does some signings/appearances in New York for extras…i’d force my parents to bring me there, even though it’s 4 hours away from me (although i do live in NY)!!!

nO!! i live all the way across the country!! he would just have to go everywhere:) Even if it was 4 hours give or take, i would still show up! ROAD TRIP!! Taylor you should feel wanted because you are!! ha ha. i am writing when Extra’s comes out on my personal calendar right now!

Fan-fics?
please, no.

i like that trivia idea. the quotes, etc. idea seems rather complex. or at least involving a lot of work…

i like the idea of scott picking a random # and the person to post that # wins!!! (say 171)

i feel so special. i just looked at the apperance page on this site and scott is comming to atlanta,ga!!! thats awesome. i live in ga, a couple hours away from atlanta. *insert claping here*

That sounds cool. Scott you should come to Canada!!!!

Yea the quotes are a bit too complex.

Mary Elizabeth S. Not to put down your idea, but there is one minor error in it. If you HAVE to vote for a quote when you post your quote, then who would the first quote poster vote for? And the second quote poster would HAVE to vote for the first quote poster, etc. I like the rest of it though.

the random number wouldnt work cause ppl would just post heaps and make multiple accounts even. I also dont own Scotts books- i just borrow from the lirary.

how about the quote idea? but u dont have 2 vote 4 another person and it has to be in the first 75. and u can only post once. (if u create miltiple names scott knows your email adress *insert evil laugh here*)

WILL SOMEONE COMMENT ALREADY!?!?!?!?

(sorry about the little evil thing. i guess i just really want this book sampler, or something to do)

But I mean really..HOW can Scott judge a quotes contest? They are all Scott’s books, and so he probably likes all of his quotes.

And Amy-La, people can create multiple emails as well. I myself personally have at least 4 emails, but I wouldn’t cheat like that. But I know others who would.

I will!

i have 3 emails AshAngelAk…yeah what happened was that the first address my dad created for me when i was like 9 (without telling me) and i hated the name. then the second one i liked but eventually (since it was on outlook express) it got SUPER SLOW and i would get some of my emails up to a day late! then i got a gmail one (which is my current one) and i love it. but yeah i wouldn’t cheat–cross my heart!

does anyone remember my comment where we MAKE UP quotes about what the characters would say?

*sigh*
ok, now I’m bored

WILL SOMEONE COMMENT ALREADY!?!?!?!?
(I copied this from Amy-la)
hahahaha

i feel so alone
