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!

*Emerald walks into the ballroom from the balcony and spots the woman standing from Adra*
Emerald: Connie?
*Emerald quickly goes over and leads Connie away from Adra for a bit*
Emerald: Is he okay?
Connie: Oh yes my Lady, he is just fine but seeing as it's the ball. I just thought it might be a welcomed gesture to introduce him.
*Emerald looks around and catches Adra's eye before turning back towards the woman*
Emerald: I just want to make sure he's okay first...
Em?
#ChaseForBookNine
*blinks*
Right....
*ducks under sofa*
Miss Emerald are you alright?
"*ducks under sofa*"

#ChaseForBookNine
*walks in and lays on the floor, sobbing*
DEREK IS AN EVIL, EVIL MAN. I'm not telling you anything, just trust me when I say this book ruins your life. No joke.
VAL SHUT UP

#ChaseForBookNine
*Takes a deep breath and lifts out a bundle of blankets from the pram. Turns around and shows everyone the 2 month old baby*
Everyone, this is Lorcan...
He is mine and Chase's son...
Boo!
Y'all having the ball here then?
#chaseforbook9
And - what life? We've already established that I don't have a life. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Val seriously it isnt funny can you not talk about the book? Some of us didnt actually GET the book from Amazon that fast unlike you.
Awww he's so adorable!
ADRA
YOU DO NOT CALL ME THAT
I'M BACK!!
@leni: Thanks! :D You're awesome too, you know that?^^
@Em: .............................................................................................................................................................................................................
Woah.
#ChaseForBookNine
*literally cannot function*
I've never been this upset over anything in my entire life
I do Zath. I do.
*nods*
EM
@Ivy: O_O
YOU HAVE A LIFE???????????
WHERE DO YOU GET THEM FROM???
@Zaf: It's okay, me no have it neither. :)
Hey Mithria! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Em, congratulations. That's really exciting. It really, really is. *grins at her*
It's the Requiem Ball, yeah? I can pretend that I'm not dying for a bit, I suppose.
@Zath: Can I call you Zathy, Zathy?
#ChaseForBookNine
Yay you're back Mith
Val, you won't die. That's sure. Ahem. You won't die if you avoid Adra and Zath... i think.
@Em: Congratulations! 8hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
EM OMG HE IS SO CUUUUTE
No, seriously, no one call me Zathy.
I mean that.
There's only one person who's allowed to call me that and it's none of you.
@Alexis: Yep, I'm here again! Yay! :) And there is someone with me who still wants to dance with you^^
Malik: *raises hand* I guess she's talking about me. *grins*
*Emerald sits down carefully with the baby*
I wasn't sure when it was the right time to tell everyone. We were both going to do it after the wedding but then Chase...
(And I hope everyone knows that this is only in the roleplay, I do not have a new baby in real life lol)
@Zath: Well, according to some people I'm not worthy of personship, so can I still call you Zathy? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
No, you can't.
Gotta go now. Bye, people.
Then lets dance Malik
:( FOURS, ZATH . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*huggles Zath*
*huggles everyone else* I'MMA GO GET FOOD, CYAAAA
Hi again. I thought a change of picture was appropriate.
I just started drawing Hunter's name onto my bedroom floor (on the floorboards, in pencil) and didn't even realise I was doing it . . . *facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye you two!
Also-
Ahem.
EM I WAS REALLY CONFUSED
Malik: *smiles and goes off to dance with Alexis*
Mith: *walks towards Em* Awww... he's really cute, Em.
FOURS, MUSHROOM!
Hate to dampen the mood even more, but I'll probably have to go soon. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
OH MY GOSH LUCY YAAAAAY! [hugs]
Still reading through comments, distant.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins dancing with Malik*
FABIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*doesn't know how to dance* *stands around awkwardly and tries to wander* *trips on the hem of dress and falls*
Ow.
*dances with Val* WEEEEEEE
FABI
Awh, Star :(
*is scared of dancing with Adra and spins into a wall*
Greetings to you all. [Curtsies]
#ChaseForBook9
Malik: Hey, you're good at dancing!
FABIIIIIII! Hi. :)
*dances to Val*
Hi!
Fabi your dress is gorgeous
Thank you! I guess its natural! *smiles*
Sorry I'm distant, getting ready to go.
#ChaseForBookNine
Malik: There are only two possibilities about dancing.
1. You can dance.
2. You can't dance.
Oh... and there is number 3: You can learn how to dance. I'm talking nonsens, ignore that, please. I shouldn't say everything I think...
Okay Star! *hugs*
DRAGONA YOU BETTER HAVE A TUX OR WHATEVER
*laughs* it's okay Malik I totally agree on that
*ships Malith*
I'm not joining in. I'll sit in the corner and throw cheese at everyone.
Adra: Malith?? Seriously?
MALITH IS A SHIP NOW
Dragona- fine... Do what you must.
Star, do you have/have you had time to read my story?
Wait how is that even a ship....they arent even interacting together...I'm the one interacting with Malik...
I REALIZED I FORGOT TO SAY SO EARLIER SO I'M SAYING IT NOW
Alexis, that's what I was wondering about...
Yeah it doesnt even make sense...
@Dragona: I read it last night, but I was on my phone and it wouldn't let me comment . . . I'm sorry. :(
It was a good ending, and I'm glad it's continuing in sequels and prequels! :) Thanks for saying thanks. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
No, I'm not wearing a rock to the ball. Let me just see if I can change pictures on mobile devices.
*pulls curtains around self so no one sees self changing*
I wouldn't mind I was just concerned because the two in the ship arent even interacting with each other...
MALIXIS!
#ChaseForBookNine
What's happening with the ol' Requiem Ball then? :)
#chaseforbook9
EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, thanks. If you have time could you leave a comment?
I'd like to ship you two...
BUT I CAN'T THINK OF A NICE ALEXIS AND MALIK SHIP!!!
FLORAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :)
Can I be a flower princess???
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, you're a genius! MALEXIS! That's it!
EVEEEE
FLORA! *bows*
*blushes slghtly* never been shipped before..
@Dragona: Ummm . . .
Well, you see, I don't have time now, because we're going soon, and I won't get back until tomorrow. So you might have to wait a while for the comment.
@EVERYONE: MALIXIS IS THE SHIP NAME.
MALIXIS.
It's got MALI and AL XIS.
MALIXIS. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
HELL YES YOU CAN, STAR!
*throws flower petals over Star*
I dub thee, Star the Flower Princess!
Yo, Princess Adra!
*curtsies*
#chaseforbook9
@Mith: THANKS! *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry I temporarily vanished.
Hello everyone who arrived
Thanks, Adra. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
That's fine Star. ^^
*hugs Star back* Hey, you're a genius and a princess now! :D
*hums* Malixis, Malixis, Malixis, Malixis...
@Flora: YAAAAAAY!
I won't chnage my display name now, because I need my rpfiles for tonight and I'm not messing with my phone. It keeps refreshing them. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
*pours petrol over curtains and sets them ablaze*
*emerges from the flames dramatically, yet somewhat ungracefully*
*dress is slightly scorched*
*face is slightly lopsided from melting*
*twirls anyway*
@Mithria: Thanks! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Eve!
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Eve anyway*
Want me to fix... *gestures to her face*
STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHVAHHHHHH!
Adrananana! :D
Hi, everyone else!
...*makes a face*
I think I have to mingle a little bit. I'm seeing new names (and lovely dresses and else, by the way)
Hi Eve!
:3 I HAVE MISSED YOU EVE
Fabi! :)
*hugs Adra* Oh, um... Can you? I mean, if it's no trouble. This wasn't the entrance I had planned exactly.
:3 I HAVE MISSED YOU EVE
:3 I HAVE MISSED YOU EVE
Yes! *draws a circle on the back of her hand and touches her face and her skin is healed and good*
Hi Alexis!
I've missed you, too! *pouts* I used to be so good at juggling Blogland with the outside life, but my Hannah Montanna powers are fading a little... And a little more...
*walks towards Eve* Hi, I'm Mith. :)
Do you know who I am Eve? *grins* I'm Zafira and Javier's daughter.
Yay! *touches face* Eee, it's warm!
*keeps hands on face*
Aww, everyone looks so freakin' fiiiiine ;)
#chaseforbook9
[Flutters around uncertainly]
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Eve
Hello, Mith. :) It's very nice meeting you. *shakes hand, if indeed you have any*
*beams at Alexia in surprise* I knew I recognised that anonymous face of yours! You look so much like your mother, but unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of meeting your father.
WE are all HOT
Except Dragona who is being antisocial
For those who have read my Mass Effect Fanfiction, there is a new post on the blog. It is NOT a story - it is something that could help you understand the characters better.
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
Ophelia, hello! *waves from a distance*
Where are we, by the way? The old ballroom?
Fabi is a butterfly!!! *gasps in shock*
Hi Zafira!!! *hugs*
Yo Eve! :D you good? I haven't see you in ages!
#chaseforbook9
@Eve: *laughs* Oh yes, I have hands. Two of them! :)
*hugs Eve*
Hey I'm not being anti-social! I just have better things to do with my time. Like throwing cheese, writing stories... Ok, I'm being antisocial. Leave me alone :P
*hides in shadows away from everyone*
Warm greetings, Dragona! I must say, that dragon you are wearing looks dashing, simply dashing.
I know. I heard that dragons were a new fashion trend so I decided to wear one. It's surprisingly comfy, apart from the fire. That stings a little.
*nods excitedly to Ophelia* I'm pretty goose, yes! One too many ages, it's been. *shakes head sadly*
*admires Mith's hands* They are lovely! I love how they're in a pair and all that.
...I have no idea where we are.
[Considers]
Nope. Laser-batterfly. [Nods]
But I don't have any formal wear for the laser-batterfly, so I should probably switch back to human.
[Does so]
#ChaseForBook9
WE're in Sparky's treehouse
Bloody expensive, though, aren't they? After this dress, I think all I can afford is a secondhand unicorn to wear.
Actually I got it surprisingly cheap. One of my friends was selling a dragon and I got mates-rates. So that is why I'm wearing a dragon.
The dragon was new btw - he just had no use for it.
Laser butterflies aren't healthy for the furniture...
*blinks* Sparky's treehouse? Isn't it a bit cramped? We'll be spilling out the windows by morning! *laughs obnoxiously*
Ah, yes. Friend-shops are the way to go. *nods wisely*
*sitting down holding the baby, quietly humming along to the music. Remembering last year's ball*
*She smiles as she looks down at the sleeping baby*
Your father made quite the entrance last year It was almost liked he planned to put us in the spotlight.
Eve, you're awesome! You made me fall of my chair. Well that's not so awesome... but I am still laughing, so you ARE awesome. If this makes sense.
Eve, trust me. There are worse things that are laser-y than butterflies.
OH, Em. You loved it
Hello Em.
#ChaseForBook9
*goes to Em* thats your little one Emmy? Maybe Olivia could meet up after the Ball
My, look at the time! I should probably start pretending I'm asleep. Excuse me while I prepare my Earth-room for hours of false slumber.
*prances away like the graceful duck*
Adra, I don't know if you saw but there's a new post on the Mass Effect blog.
I'm afraid I have to go now.
See you all later!
#ChaseForBook9
*looks up at Zaf*
I think Lorcan is a little young to play with Olivia but when he gets a bit older, it would be good to have a playmate.
BYe Faaaaabuloussss
Memerald! *hugs* Congratulations on your novel, too!
Well, who am I talking to, Mith? YOU got a medal for your awesomeness! *smiles* Thank you.
I prefer not to imagine such horrific laser-y things....
Bye Fabi!
Favo...
Eve, would a race of giant metal... things which fire lasers and want to wipe out all organic life in the galaxy do?
*totally just didn't revise her four minute composition for music*
That'd be lovely. I think Olivia would enjoy a playmate too she has Alexis but Alexis is kind of well...older and more interested in her studies and working on her magic
@Eve: I have no idea why Star did that medal thing... but I'm happy about it :D
Eve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIuWW5WOY8I
*returns, and is plagued by nightmares*
No! No, stop! *covers ears to Dragona's taunting*
@Mith: Oh, Star has like a sixth sense, where she senses awesomeness in awesome people. It's pretty awesome.
@Eve: Now I feel even more honoured^^
Dragona, what did you do to Eve? xD
Something tells me I don't want to watch that. I can't, anyway. I've been banned from YouTube, and my parents KNOW when I've been on YouTube.
...Well, not really, but it's dark, and my headphones are three arms-lengths away, and I'm positive that there's a ghoul between us.
Totally didn't just disappear...
Whoops...
I'm back now though, so it's good :)
*dances on her own*
cha-cha real smooth.
#chaseforbook9
*sways to the music*
Mith: Well, you should. It's an honourable position to be in. :P
Ophelia.....
To the left! Take it back now, y'all.
I want to dance too!
*starts dancing*
*dances towards Flora* Hello my Queen!
Hey, can I just ask...I see flowers in all your names. Adra and Mith are flower princess, and Ophelia is simply "of the flowers"....Was there a flower theme I wasn't told of? *panics*
Man... Where is that boy...
I'm VERY happy
It happened a few days ago..
Mith, Taia and I are flower princesses.
Rhydian is the flower knight
Trip is the flower prince.
I've forgotten what Zaf is among the confusion/
Edward/Sherlock is some flower General
AND FLORA IS THE FLOWER QUEEN
Which boy are you looking for, Adra?
Yay! *bounces around Alexis joyfully*
I introduced Eve to an ordinary day on Mass Effect.
Eve, it isn't bad. Just some footage from a video game.
Ooh, exciting! Can I be a leaf? I think I'd make a really good leaf. Look!
*rustles in the wind, but is otherwise still*
Um. Trip. *grins*
OMG I have missed you Eve
@Eve: Yep, you're a wonderful leaf!
Mass Effect....like with machine soldiers? And guns? And....*turns suddenly pale*
*whispers*
Lasers.
Question: Anyone here who likes Star Wars?
Zaf's a flower princess
Star Wars and Star Trek is the song of my people
*mimicks Adra's mysterious grin* And who is Trip? Is he a friend? A nemesis? A free app?
Ahem. If you must know, we are dating ((in RP btw :3))
It's because of Yoda. I made Yoda but I don't know if he looks like he should. Because I don't know Star Wars...
NOW DANCE!!!
So I'm a leaf! Yesssss.
*rolls head over to Adra* Totally nailed it. *chews him noisily*
BOOYEAH, QUEENIE!
BREAK IT DOWN!
*booty shake*
@Eve: Two hops this time!
And hell yeah you can be a leaf if you want!
#chaseforbook9
*laughs at Mith*
*gum. I'm not a cannibal, guys, it's okay.
Wh... What?
Ugh. *facepalms*
That wasn't supposed to happen... I just wanted you to dance because we're having a ball and you dance at a ball. I didn't want to ded... ok, I'll have to think a bit...
Currently rocking out to music in real life, just fyi
#chaseforbook9
*dances as is told*
Ah, I see. (Is he another of your own characters, or a seperate Bloglandian entirely?)
What music, Ophelia? Can we transfer it to this quiet space?
Currently it's C'Mon by Ke$ha... (don't hate, it's just an awesome pre-night-out song :P )
#chaseforbook9
ill comment through my mother tis a realy violent thunderstorm out
I sense a disturbance in the Force. As if there's an awesome party going on and someone mentioned Star Wars.
#ChaseForBook9
I haven't heard much Kesha, but I met a cute dog with the same name, so the song must be about dogs. Right? Anyway.
*plays "C'mon" on the gramoblogophone*
I dedicate this page to leaves.
I dedicate this page to our Golden God Derek Landy who will have to make a post for the Requiem Ball.
I dedicate this page to Trip, because he MUST come soon!
I dedicate this page to all my bloglandian friends and my friends in real live.
And I dedicate this page to me who hopefully won't have to dedicate for a long long time now.
That's it.
*bows down*
Msd irl too le storm pretty violent
Shit... I forgot to ded to dancing -.-
Oh, I won't talk about Star Wars again, promised, Effie!
On a train home now will be on in a few hours,
Awesome ded Mith!
Now I'm listening to Banquet by Bloc Party *dances*
#chaseforbook9
Well, Alexis who is speaking through her mother: Don't fight back, try to convince it to calm down and you can walk away with no bruise or scratch. :)
Hello, Effie! Hi!
*raises glass* *blushes* he really should
Hi Eve, Mithria, Zaf, Flora, Adra and anyone else who I either forgot to mention or didn't see.
That counts you there, I see you lurking.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Ed!
Alexis: well okay! It kinda calmed down
Curious to know who you are...
It's cool! Star Wars is so awesome, it deserves to be mentioned a lot!
#ChaseForBook9
Bravo, Mith. But you forgot to do the thing where they tap the wine glass with a spoon or a fork. :P
((Just in case anyone didn't know, Effie is one of my characters!))
#ChaseForBook9
Here's To Never Growing Up bye Avril Lavigne
*dances*
I don't want to grow up!
I'll be TWENTY in February!
No longer a teenager!
Fudge!
:(
Hello Effie! Have we met before?
#chaseforbook9
Ohhhhhh, well that explains how Effie knew me and I didn't know her :P
Thanks Fabi, I didn't know^^
@Eve: I knew, I forgot something... :D
