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.

Zath! *hugs* Hi! *shoves a pie in his face*
Zaffy does not wear dresses! Oh and guys if Derek comes on I call dibs dancing with him!
I want to dance with Derek :P
#ChaseForBook9
PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks back into the ballroom with Zathract at my side*
Look, I got him in a tux!
*grabs his hand and pulls him towards the dance floor*
Now dance with me you grumpy asshole.
How about you guys make a list and someone tweet him the names of every Minion who wishes to dance with him? Even if he has a signing he has to go to the hotel eventually
SPARKY I LOVE YOU, HAHAHAAHA <3
*rolls eyes and grins*
Yeah, yeah.
You'll have to put up with how terrible I am at it though.
@Zaf: I DON'T WEAR DRESSES. XD
I utterly refuse to wear dresses irl. XD
I'm really odd, though. OUt of school, I also refuse to wear skirts, but in school, I refuse to wear trousers most of the time . . . :P
I don't like school trouses, and it's habit from when I was little and liked dresses and skirts. I wore dresses every day to school until I started wearing skirts, and then I wore skirts half the time, and now I just wear skirts, and errr . . .
I don't understand myself, though. I don't LIKE skirts . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Heh
Hey Mist
Sparky oh my god. Stop. When people say things like that I start shipping and I know it isn't like that so DON'T MAKE ME SHIP YOU
*walks onto dancefloor* Uhm, would anyone like to dance? *blushes*
#ChaseForBook9oo
*grins*
*noms more Skittles*
I DO MARS
*#ChaseForBook9
Hey Nix!
Aww Zarky! I ship it
*starts dancing with him and glares at Adra*
I refuse to be shipped with Zathy boy.
If anything he and I would never happen on the basis of my sexual orientation.
Which explains my hate for being shipped with guys.
APPARENTLY, what I was just wearing WASN'T a Tux.
Apparently.
So there, I changed, Braginski.
Happy?
SPARKY YOU BITCH ARE YOU IN THE SKYPE CALL WITH US STILL OR
I KNOW SPARKY
FUCK.
*goes to her corner*
Adra, just don't.
OOOOOOOOOH.
Sparkract?
Zatharky?
PLEASE TELL ME THERE'S ALREADY A SHIP NAME. XD
I CAN'T DANCE.
I DON'T LIKE DRESSES OR DANCING OR PARTIES. I FACT, I HATE ALL THREE.
WHY I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS BALL IS BEYOND ME. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
OH MY GOD DEAN WINCHESTER SHUT THE FRONT DOOR
Much better, Mist. I approve.
IT'S 12:46 IN THE MORNING AND MY MUM IS IN THE JEXT ROOM NO I AM NOT ON CALL

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBookNine
SPARKY/ZATH IS MY BROTP C
AW, DAMNIT
My dad and I were discussing signings in Oz should ITS be popular enough. (He can get a job over there so easy, omfg)
Don't worry, Zath. I am in a tux as well. *takes Zafira's hand* Grand Mage, dance with me?
And for FUCKS SAKE don't start with the ship names it is not a thing it will never be a thing and I get really pissed off when people try and make it a thing, okay!?

HUNTER
Thanks Sparky ;D
*shouts words to tr song back*
@Ez: Ballwear's a word?
I did miss it. I'm just not changing.
MY JACKET HAS /PORTALS/ IN IT.
I see you're in a red dress, btw. That's . . . new.
#ChaseForBookNine
YOU TOOK YOUR JACKET OFF /YESTERDAY./
And - shut the fuck up.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shuts the fuck up*
#ChaseForBookNine
GET CHANGED and shut the fuck up.
#ChaseForBookNine
With them here? Uh, no. They keep trying to kill me. Especially her. *points at Adra*
#ChaseForBookNine
*takes Javier's hand* of course
That's YOUR fault, for trying to kill THEM.
#ChaseForBookNine
Maybe, but I'M STILL NOT CHANGING.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey! you tried to kill me
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED HERE IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN OUTFIT AS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE.
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm just going to ignore all that stuff above and get back to whatever was happening before.
Anyone know what song's playing?
*sighs*
I'm just not cut out for dancing.
*hobbles to couch and takes off heels*
*takes her to the dance floor and dances with*
MY PROFILE PICTURE IS AN OUTFIT.
*teleports off* *returns with black duet cover on head*
#ChaseForBookNine
You look like a ghost who forgot what colour he was supposed to be.
#ChaseForBookNine
*dances with Javier* Aaah yay! I get to dance with you
*laughs at Hez*
*heh*
*damces debonairly*
Victory...
That's racist, Ez
*sticks arms in corners of duvet cover and lifts it up* Now do I look like a black rectangle?
#ChaseForBookNine
A black rectangle that's the wrong way up with feet sticking out the bottom.
#ChaseForBookNine
Brb I have to go shower.
Better?
#ChaseForBookNine
FEET.
#ChaseForBookNine
And I have you, Zaf.
WELL I'M SORRY, SUE ME FOR BEING TALL!
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't suppose we could use the Bowling Alley, could we, Sparky?
What is happening...
Someone is in a romantic mood eh?
What do you mean, what's happening?
The above converstaion happened about ten times in my head beforehand. XD
They've just been saying it for the past few days.
*goes to reply to ADra*
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
This is my first time to ever actually be with you at the Requim Ball, you have so much going on at work with the war, it's nice to see you with me out having a good night with friends. *takes with and sits* *has arms around*
*smiles* love you too, Javier
@Adra: Ghosts are old enough to remember times when racism was acceptable and expected.
They probably don't have the same racism rules.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: And I might need to kill you again.
And ballwear is impractical for fighting in.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: And duvet covers aren't.
#ChaseForBookNine
The Ez and Hunter and...
*dives into the lift*
TO THE BOWLING ALLEY!!!
Good good. *smiles* Alexis looks beautiful tonight.
@Ez: I can just pull it off whenever I want, though.
YOU have to get changed and have soemthing to get changed into.
#ChaseForBookNine
Has the cursing stopped?? Because if not, I'm not here! I'm a ghost!
@Hunter: I have perfected the art of fighting in dresses.
You see, if YOU didn't get replicate the same thing to wear over and over, you would learn to adapt like me.
And, you can bowl in dresses. You can't bowl in duvet covers.
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, good!
*runs for the lift but misses it*
...Damn you.
It stopped Mith. Alexis came though she's by the bean bags.
Hm... I think I am here. So, Hello everybody! :)
@Ez: Why do you need to adapt? Waste of time.
And - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*teleports down to bowling alley*
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees?
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello, Mithria! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Malik: Ok, thanks Javier... I shall go and... do what exactly??
*laughs* You do what you do best. You talk, Malik.
*is by bean bags kind of unsure*
*teleports down likewise*
My eyes are purple.
#ChaseForBookNine
HI STAR!! :) This dress is beautiful!
@Hunter: Can you tell me how to make liquorice muffins?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: Deal.
#ChaseForBookNine
You won't kill me Hunter
Yes go talk to her! And be nice I may need to arrest yoi otherwise
*runs out of the lift into the Bowling Alley*
Early bird gets the worm Zathract old buddy old pal!
Ez: Hunter's on my account now.
Hunter: Yay. Wait, does this mean I'm wearing a red dress?
Ez: Yeah.
Hunter: *caries on wearing ordinary clothes and ties red dress around shoulders like superhero cape*
Ez: *facepalm* Can you please not look ridiculous?
#ChaseForBookNine
*scowls and takes the lift back down after her*
So I've heard.
Malik: I'm ALWAYS nice, Grand Mage. *shrugs and walks towards Alexis*
*smiles* Hey Alexis. Wow... you look lovely!
*digs through the ceiling to the bowling alley*
SHORTCUT
*smiles* Hey Malik and thanks! You look lovely too.
*strides up to Adra and elbows her in the face*
Malik: Say... have you ever been to a ball before? I haven't...
Mith: *watches Malik and Alexis and grins*
Gotta go now

*taps Adra on the shoulder*
Ahem? Hello?

Hi Sparky!
*waves*
STFU BITCH.
*hits him with a pan*
DAMn.
*punches her*
Hunter: *is already in bowling alley* Teleporting rules.
Ez: *glares* Showing off isn't allowed on my account.
Hunter: AW WHAT. @Adra: Sure I won't.
Ez: Killing is also banned.
Hunter: YOUR ACCOUNT DOES NOT ALLOW LIVING.
Ez: It allows sensible living.
Hunter: I can kill people sensibly.
Ez: Killing people isn't sensible.
Hunter: Says who?
Ez: Says my account.
Hunter: Is sensible showing-off allowed?
Ez: No.
Hunter: Do you want to know how to make those muffins or not?
Ez: I'll live without.
Hunter: Damn. *puts thinking cap on*
Ez: *takes thinking cap off* Uh, NO.
Hunter: IT WAS A METAPHOR.
Ez: METAPHORS ARE ONL ALLOWED WHEN I SAY SO.
HUnter: Oh, what the fuck.
Ez: Swearing also isn't allowed.
Hunter: *tries to form response without sweeraing* *fails*
Ez: *laughs*
Hunter: You're evil.
Ez: Thanks.
Hunter: ---- you.
Ez: That counts as swearing.
Hunter: WHAT THE ONIONS.
#ChaseForBookNine

*picks up Adra and dumps her over my shoulder*
*walks to the GIANT BLOODY HOLE IN THE FLOOR she made and drops her back into the ballroom*
Zaf, I will try...
Hunter: Am I allowed to throw bowling balls?
Ez: No.
Hunter: *chucks bowling ball at her*

#ChaseForBookNine
Hi, everyone!!!:) *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
Mithria, your thing says you're from Bayern, Germany. AND THAT'S WHERE BAMBERG IS and Bamberg is perfect.
Sorry, I do a lot of fangirling about Bamberg.
BAMBERG IS PERFECT
Oh and hi! I'm Ieni! (I don't think we've met before) xD
#ChaseForBook9
Malik: That's a good idea. We don't want you to get hurt!
(So, who is still in the ball room??)
Unless your forfeit, then I win by default
Yup! I think she needs a night to not worry about me which is fine for both of us...so i kind of am free! (Zaf Javier you me Mith...think tharts it)

@Mithria: I'm not too sure where I am, to be honest. XD
#ChaseForBookNine

@Mithria: YAAAAAY!
*tries to dance* *falls over*
#ChaseForBookNine
Malik: *glances at stereo* What about some music?
Mith: *helps Star to get up* Well.....
Zath, are your comments disappearing?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mithria: Thank you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh dear god.
*starts making piles with the bowling balls*
#ChaseForBookNine
I STILL WIN!
*dances*
*tries to kick pile over* OW.
#ChaseForBookNine
(I guess Hunter is bored... xD)
NEVER
Zath is in charge of music. *shrugs*
Hey, Staaaaaaaaar!!!!!:)
Um, I would try to dance but my legs are feeling really weak right now, for some reason. STUPID PEASANTY LEGS
The good thing is Ieni can dance around the internet as much as she likes:)
Have you been to Wurzburg or Nurnberg? I also went their on the exchange trip:)
Msd - dodgy internet.
#ChaseForBook9
@Mithria: I'm not that bored, I just like making piles and stacks. :)
@Ez: SEE? BALLWEAR SHOES = IMPRACTICAL.
*kicks pile* *frowns when it doesn't move* *kicks using extra energy* *watchesbowling balls scatter* See?
#ChaseForBookNine
You just killed your pile.
#ChaseForBookNine
YOU PANSYYYYY
*throws a whipped cream pie at his face*
@leni: Würzburg - no. Nürnberg - often, yes^^
@Hunter: I see.... You ARE bored.
Malik: Zath isn't here, is he? *looks around, surching for Zath*
I YAM HERE
*jumps around in front of Ink*
@Ez: Maybe my pile wanted to die.
#ChaseForBookNine
Huh?? *Searching, not surching. My mind is strange...
*laughs* he seems to be here though...ZATHY!!!
Please don't call me that.
Malik: Ooops... sorry, Zath.
Search.
*dances some more*
Sorry Zath..*looks up at Malik*
@Ieni: "The good thing is Ieni can dance around the internet as much as she likes:)" OOH, GOOD POINT.
*dances around the room like a professional*
ARGHHHHHHH! *runs away from the cream in the pie*
@Zath: Hello. *tries to follow jumping* *is dizzy*
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks towards Alexis and Malik* Hey Alexis! You look soo cute!

@Mith: My mind is stanrge too, SO IT'S ALL GOOD. )
#ChaseForBookNine
*smiles* Thank you..*blushes slightly*
*changes it to AEROSMITH*
@Mithria: I get bored a lot, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ooh, the zoo there is awesome:) Unless you're like me and stare at the gorillas feeling really sad.
We went on a tour thing there that included the half-finished German colleseum thing.
I think I still have the map for the zoo...Yeah, I do:)
Star, would you like to do the Ninja Aeroplane dance?
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *screams*
ZATH IS IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LIKED THOSE ALBUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ChaseForBookNine
TOO LATE
@Ieni: Can you teach me? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*grins*
Malik: *looks at Alexis* So... would you like to dance, Alexis?
@leni: Yeah, I've been to the zoo a few times. I loved it when I was a kid but when I got older... idk... it IS sad.
(Ugh... dinner. Brb!)
Sure Malik!
Bye Mith!
*looks around nervously*
(okay Mith)
*a woman walks into the ballroom pushing a baby's push pram and walks up to Star*
Woman: Excuse me Miss?? I'm looking to find Lady Horowitz, is she around??
I'd rather animals were alive in zoos tahn not alive at all, though.
I mean . . . people say about animals in captivoity not getting propr natural lives. But I don't think we humans live proper natural lives, spending all day on laptops and getting all our food from supermarkets. You could say we should be living outside and hunting.
Their lives are as natural as ours.
#CbaseForBookNine
Dammit.
I dedicate that we all can somehow meet each other... *nods* SO I can punch many of you and kick many more in the face cough Zath cough bitch.
*raises glass* HEAR HEAR
You're so awesome, Mith!!!
Bye!:( *hugs*
Um, sure:) Okay, basically you just run around the dance floor attacking people with ninjaeroplanetacklehugs:) But, you have to like, dance your way around.
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
I don't know where Emerald's gone off to...
*raises Adra's shoe my mother stole* HEAR HEAR
@Woman: Errr . . . *looks around, panicked. I don't know. Maybe you should ask her? *points to Adra*
(I'm so bad at talking to people, lol. XD)
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws a building at Adra*
Merry Christmas.

Well, I can't pick up some of the toasters I invent, but I can pick up buildings with the right equipment.
#ChaseForBookNine
You're hallucinating. I'm sorry.
