And here we are, coming in late (as usual)... The winners of the strapline competition. So many cool entries. A lot of similar ones, and unfortunately that meant we couldn't put those in the final ten. There were lots of "Burn, Baby Burn!" and suchlike, which would have been so cool to see on a cover if we'd only had one entry for it...! I love the winning entries, though, so a huge congratulations to everyone who took part.
And the winners are...
Hugo Peach
Evan Jenkins
Harriet Langley
Tom Wood
Jack Holton
Ashan Ali
Laura MacKenzie
Nigethan Sathiyalingham
Phoebe Ryall
Megan Smales
All the winners receive two signed glossy prints of the cover with their own strap line. Awesome.
Oh, and to remind you, the comments section below is NOT for spoilers!

I'm sort of back now, but wbd. And msd. Got work to do tomorrow D;
*chucks bread at trip and adra and the ducks flock around them*
Yeah, well- I think we would have noticed if you didn't, Trip.
I think they are trying to set us up, Ed
NO DUCKS
They don't moult either.
-watches as a duck starts singing "Dance With Somebody"-
Okay, that's... that's a little weird.
But they don't MOULT. That's good...
-redirects all the ducks into a separate room-
-adds another fifty ducks-
Home sweet home.
OHMYGOD. I should make at least ONE duck reference in my book.
*lies in wait with Adra even though I don't know what we're waiting for*
#chaseforbook9
Gemma I hope you're ready to clean up those crumbs.

*laughs and shoves Sparky off* God, I've missed this. It's so much fun when it's not all depressing here. I love doing fun Blogland stuff.
DON'T DENY YOURSELF, SNOW. IT'S ALL COINCIDENCE
You are only fighting yourself
Sparky, I dont have to, the ducks will eat the crumbs, trip and adra!
*brings out chocolate cake*
WHO WANTS DAUNTLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE?
We're waiting for dancing to begin.

#ChaseForBook9
Hi!
Ed. Ask Snow to dance. Or... or... I'll make the ducks attack you!
bye snow
Oh.
*faints*
*grins* Yes, Sparky, you told me it'd be good. And I'm glad I listened.
And by the way - don't eat that cake.
THE CAKE IS A LIE.
-opens the door and all the ducks spread out-
Has anyone ever done anything with dry ice before? I think it's so awesome, and I NEED to try something...
I wanna get two small cups and put a chunk of dry ice in both, and then add water so they get all cloudy, and then I wanna out one on either side of my bed, so I have clouds flowing over my bed and me... Does that not sound awesome?
Wahoo! Snowlock!
#ChaseForBook9
*steals Dauntless Chocolate Cake*
MINE
I AM DIVERGENT - I CAN DO WHATEVER I LIKE, MAN;3
*gets up and the song magically comes on*
*takes Trip's hand* About time
Pffft ahaha.

Thanks Adra, *smiles*
#ChaseForBook9
But... The cake is a lie...
Valkyrie NO PORTAL REFERENCES

@Luce: ohh, okay. Still don't get the whole "being ahead of me" thing, but y'know... :)
@Adra: ohhhhh, yeah, that makes sense :P
...or, y'know, we could just dance? :P
#chaseforbook9
I'm shy.
Well, not really. But I don't ballroom dance often.
Fine, I've only ballroom danced 4 times. Once every ten years.
#ChaseForBook9
*starts slow dancing with Mara*
*sings softly*
The dimples in your back, at the bottom of your spine, but I'll love them endlessly...
#ChaseForBook9
*walks up to Gemma*
You seem lonely, dear friend.
*eats cake* now i suppose i dance alone
What's wrong with portal references?
#ChaseForBook9
Luci; Which factions?
Trip and Adra; Yay! Good OTP! :D
Alex; Yep :)
*puts on "Dancing with Myself" and does the Drunken Giraffe dance*
-orders all 62 ducks to flock around Adra again, and follow her for eternity-
FOUR WOULD MURDER YOU IF THE CAKE WAS A LIE, PORTAL REFERENCE OR NOT
...
Aw, man, I wanna write fanfic
Harry, I can't dance... *smiles sheepishly*
#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

((Ed should dance with Flora- as friends yo now?))
Ahem. Well I do hope you haven't forgotten how to. *takes his hand, putting her other on his shoulder*
Did the Soap not count?
These ducks are kind of cool. I now have duck minions for all eternity.
#ChaseForBook9
*Watches Harralie and Adrip happily* *Gaze flicks to Gemma* Come on, girl *Pulls her onto the dancefloor*
Not in the slightest.
*starts dancing*
#ChaseForBook9
(HARRY'S DIMPLES ARE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE CRAFTED BY THE FUCKING GODS WHO CRAFTED LOUIS' ASS OKAY)
(Btw is it just me or does Harry looks extraordinharryly sexy in his picture)
#ChaseForBook9
The ducks are MY minions. Like we are Derek's. It's like minion-ception. :O
But yeah... The ducks are mine.
Luci; I wouldn't be Candor, or Dauntless, and probably not Abnegation, so I think I'm Amity and Erudite :D
Ah. Get those sucks away from me, Chrome.
And nothing with Portal. Just moreof "gtfo no you didn't I'm laughing" kind of way
Yes, you are indeed a dear friend.
It really is a shame that none of the male specimen present wish to dance with you, I thought you very nice to dance with.
ducks *creates penguins*
I'm a solo dancer really. You get awfully good at it when you're single for so long.
*sparkling energy appears all around them, moving like fireflies*
#ChaseForBook9
*almost trips then giggles*
Hi to you too saph.
*laughs* Alex, Liam wrote that bit, so...
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm. *dances as well* That's a shame then.
*groans*
Please get the birds outside of the treehouse, at least...
*the ice penguins waddle round*
Alex, once I tried to make a bunch of small children my minions and then my friend told them I was a vampire so they cried when they saw me.
THEY REFUSED MY OFFER.
-one of my ducks goes and snaps the necks of all the penguins-
Oh. Wow. I did not expect THAT.
Cheesy. *laughs* But still. Beautiful.
Gemma; *Laughs* I'm pretty sure I said hi generally to everyone at some point :) *Starts disco dancing*
what did your duck do?
I'm a terrible dancer Adra! :P plus I'm old and clumsy. It's not a good mix... :P
#chaseforbook9
D-disco dancing...? At a ball...? *shrugs* why not..
*shouts on sparky* come join us?
*wanders off and tries to find food* *finds a spider instead* *flails and runs*
KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE
*hugs Harry*
Thank you. For tonight. Just for the dance, even. It was wonderful.
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes at Flora* Whatever floats your boat, yo
Hey, I like these little guys. They help me meditate, I just thought, you know it'd be cool, 'cause, it's beautiful, you're beautiful, I'm beautiful. It's an example to all those who wish to be as beautiful as us.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, I have something to ask you...
#ChaseForBook9
Luci will have her own set of irl minions soon :D
Everyone's my minion. They just don't realise it yet XD
Oh, of course, Harry. What's up?
#ChaseForBook9
Trust me, I would end up accidentally killing anyone I tried dancing with :p
#chaseforbook9
*whispers darkly*
There are no spiders in my treehouse and you will not put them there.
*shakes head at Gemma*
I'll pass this time.
*reappears*
Flora! Val! Come and dance with Gemma and I! (By the way, I'm a really bad dancer Flora. You can't possibly be worse than me)
IS HARRY ABOUT TO PROPOSE??!!
*starts a conga line* *looks ridiculous because it's actually not a conga line considering it only consists of me*
*giggles* Well if that isn't conceited then I don't know what is
Aww ok sparky
*continues dancing with saph*
*joins Val*
snow, shall we dance?
Oh my god Harralie
*grabs a coke and watches Val carefully*
Please don't break anything.
yes, we shall *grins*
Maralie, ever since we first met at that concert, I knew you were special. You were amazingly beautiful and funny and happy and... amazing. I love you so much.
So, *gets down on one knee* *takes out jewellery box* Maralie Lily Charm, would you do me the pleasure of being your fiancé?
#ChaseForBook9
*joins conga line*
[Reappears and joins the conga line]
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at Sparky and grins*
No promises.
*turns around and walks smack into a wall*
Ed; Well, duh. You two belong together ;P
Gemma, do you want to join Val's conga line?
*takes snow to dancefloor*
*covers her mouth* Oh my god
HARRALIE
[Ships]
#ChaseForBook9
-sits on a chair separated from all of you, several ducks surrounding me, the rest surrounding Adra singing Whitney Houston-
*clicks fingers and points at Harralie* Knew it! I knew he was going to propose.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs at my own stupidity and cheers as the conga line grows*
*smiles*

Oh my God.
*covers mouth with hand*
Harry... oh my God. Oh gosh, oh my God...
*looks around in shock*
#ChaseForBook9
*Glances at the ducks* How are they singing? Are they mutants or something?
Because we love you Sparks. Now.
*drags Sparky into conga line* Because it's fun.
*applauds marriage proposal*
Because you love us Sparky.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods a LOT at MARA*
*grins at Val*
Oh yeah.
*hums*
singing ducks... maybe i should hand them the mic??
*glances around*
*joins conga line with a massive grin on her face*
(Because you know you love us, Sparky ;D)
I... I... Yes. Oh my Golden God, yes! *screams* *hugs Harry tightly*
#ChaseForBook9
singing ducks?
Was I the only person who saw that coming? Half of you are detectives, I hope it's all the tumblesoz I spiked the punch with that's affecting your skills because if that's the level at which you understand body langauge, we're pretty screwed.
#ChaseForBook9
*Creeps behind Harry and nods like a madwoman at Mara*
*Laughs and joins conga line*
He still has a dimple fetish.
*whoops, cheering for Mara*
singing ducks *nods*
*leans on ed*
*laughs and forgets that I'm actually leading a conga line and trips, causing everyone to fall on top of me*
...Help.
*shuffles over to Sapphire*
okay, I'll dance slightly...
*begins to dance*
*accidentally punches Sapphire in the face*
OH GOD.
I am so sorry.
First Tinkerbell and now this! D:
#chaseforbook9
He does. *nods at Alex*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara back* Thank you, you've made me the happiest man in the world!
(Harry will be commenting on Mara's profile now because my iPod's out of battery D:)
#ChaseForBook9
*hits Trip* SHUSH It's adorable!
YES!!!! HALLELUYAH!
Trip, yeah, I saw it. I commented about it *Points upwards*
Even though I'm not a detective, I'm an Elder :)
-duck starts climbing up Sparky's dress-
*rolls out of the massive pile-up and helps val up*
(Brb dammit)
#ChaseForBook9
WHOA. NOT WHAT I MEANT, NOT WHAT I MEANT
THE DUCK IS DLIMBING UP ON THE OUTSIDE
HARRALIE HAS GOT TO BE
THE BESTEST SHIP IN HISTORY
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF POETRY
WHICH ISN'T VERY GOOD, YOU SEE
BUT BECAUSE IT FITS PERFECTLY
ONE DIRECTION AND MARALIE
[Nods]
#ChaseForBook9
*stumbles up with Gemma's help* Thank you. I was getting claustrophobic.
Alex, why are your ducks pervy?
Flora; Don't worry! *Waves from the pile of people that WAS the conga line*
*blinks at alex*
ed, have you seen the mayhem over there *points at fallen conga line* i'm glad we left
I know I'm supposed to ded to the Harralie marriage, but I don't want to. As sweet as it is, my heart is not drawn to doing so.
So, I ded to not crumbling to peer pressure.
HELL YEAH!
#ChaseForBook9
Val... When you got claustrophobic and I saved you from the mean people.
*applauds the poem*
*member of conga pile-up*
... Dammit Val.
Its alright *starts helping everyone else up, saph, sparky, snow and ed*
yeah, glad we got out of the conga
The only peer pressure I sees....
Is Snowlock.
Lots and lots of Snowlock
*arches an eyebrow at Trip* Are you dedicating to not falling under peer pressure because you didn't fall under peer pressure in order to do so?
Trip; *Raises glass of-* wait, what have I been drinking? *Examines liquid* It's blue. Is it supposed to be blue?
So, how long till you think Snow and Ed kiss? I'm going with 20 minutes.
#ChaseForBook9
Dear lord. Thank goodness I didn't join the conga line...
#chaseforbook9
Oof! [Laughs]
[Is squished under pile of people]
#ChaseForBook9
and now they are watching us again... *laughs*
Oh yeah. I did that. It's Absinthe with food colouring in it.
I'm trying to kill you!
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs at Sparky's scowl* If I go down, we all go down. This is why we don't listen to me.
Mind blown, Val.
And ah- 20. Yeah.
ha ha ha
*helps fabi out* you ok? XD
Just kidding! It's sugar water with colouring!
#ChaseForBook9
*smacks Saph's glass away* DON'T DRINK IT YOU'LL TURN TO A RAT
