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!

*shoves Val lightly*
Damn you.
VAL DON'T START
OH NO
IM DROWNING IN FEELINGS.
*collapses*
*shrugs* you do realize, i have only kissed ed, so in less ed kisses me, you wont get your bet.
Val; Like in City of Bones! It's vampire concoction! *Throws fireball at Trip*
Yup! Thanks, Gemma.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins at Sparky* I'll deal with it.
So, anyone wanna do something fun? Preferably not a conga line?
well *kisses snow*
*shrieks and covers her face, muffling it* SNOWLOOOCK
*energy smothers fireball*
Insanely powerful combat mage...
#ChaseForBook9
*blinks*
*kisses back*
*whispers* do you think this was in their bet? 2 min?
I know this awesome game, Val!
It's called 'not ruining Sparky's crib', have you heard of it?
*shrieks and turns away*
AH! KISSING! GROSS! COOOOOoOOOOTIES!
I am okay with doing something fun. [Nods]
What did you have in mind?
#ChaseForBook9
Mara: Oh, Harry, oh my gosh, it's beautiful. *gazes in awe at the ring*
Harry: Only the best, Mara. *smiles*
Mara: *laughs* You're so cheesy.
Harry: *grins* I'm as cheesy as your pizza.
Mara: But I don't have pizza...
Harry: exactly. *winks*
Mara: *laughs* Alright...
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Sparky* I am very bad at that game.
im not sure whether it was in the bet
Oh, Val, kissing is awesome.
You just need to be kissing the right person.
Snowlock kissing, Adrip dancing, Harralie PROPOSING! My OTPs are good today...
Val; if it involves annoying Trip, yes :P
Or we could play Truth, Dare or Dance
I know you're bad at it.
Remember the hall of mirrors?
REMEMBER?
:D i dont know, but at least no money is being exchanged.
*SHIPS ALL THE OTPS*
*frowns at Sparky* Kissing is weird. Although, granted, I've never actually kissed anyone. Or dated anyone. So I suppose I wouldn't know. But I've seen people kiss and it's just kind of weird.
I'm willing to do something fun. [Nods]
What did you have in mind?
#ChaseForBook9
The hall of mirrors? *grins* Vaguely.
Watching people kiss isn't so great, I do know that.
But kissing is pretty good.
Truth, Dare or Dance, Adra?
*sighs as music turns to pop*
*stops dancing*
*drags ed to a table and sits*
*sits down*
Why not, Saph?
Mara: *kisses Harry* This is the best night ever.
Harry: I second that notion.
Mara: *entwines her fingers with his* We're getting married...
Harry: Wow... It's amazing to think about.
#ChaseForBook9
YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY HALL OF MIRROR IVY IT IS SO FULL OF SIGILS AND MAGICAL CRAP THAT NO ONE COULD GET IN UNLESS I WANTED THEM TO.
Oh no...
#ChaseForBook9
All these couples together are seriously depressing me.
*shrugs* I guess I won't really know until I've actually kissed someone. Which I doubt would be anytime soon.
*looks for Mars Bars*
Challenge accepted Sparky!
#ChaseForBook9
*hums*
nothing to do it seems... *sighs*
I'm Mars Bar... :P
*raises hand* I'M OVER HERE VAL
but seriously I think we're all out of Mars Bars.
#ChaseForBook9
well, the building is made out of wood *picks up flamethrower*
So the Hall of Mirrors has defenses now? *laughs* That's a shame. I really am wonderful at breaking mirrors. I broke one a few months back, actually, and I'm pretty sure there are still scars on my hands... Anyway, I guess I'll try not to break anything.
And I'll probably fail.
mars bars? oh i have some... one sec *teleports away, reappearing with mars bars*
here you go!
ED NO!!! *laughs*
No, no, no, I'm serious if you want to fuck up my treehouse go ahead but don't touch the hall of mirrors I am begging you
*goes to the hall of mirrors' door* Now then... *rubs hand together*
#ChaseForBook9
*shrieks in utter delight at the Mars Bars and eats all of them*
*ALL OF THEM*
ok *freezes flamethrower*
It is decked out like that for a reason
Please don't go up there
NO NO TRIP STOP STOP NOW DAMMIT STOP YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'REDOING
*laughs*
you cant just burn down the ball.... though it would be fun, i think sparky would kill you.
I won't touch your mirrors. Mirrors freak me out anyway. A mirror fell on me when I was ten and nearly slashed my throat, and then there's, y'know, evil Reflections, so I'm not their biggest fan.
Mara: NO I WANT SOME MARS BARS *screams* *pouts*
Harry *points* get me a Mars Bar.
Harry: But-
Mara: You want to live with me, you live by my rules. Get. Me. A. Mars. Bar.
Harry: fine... *walks over to Val* Uhm, excuse me, Val? Do you possibly have any more Mars Bars?
#ChaseForBook9
[Sighs]
I may go now, then. I have a funny feeling that some sort of...something is about to take place.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* fine *gives flamethrower to penguin*
*glances around for something to do*
karaoke?? na... maybe... *shrugs*
*Trip's voice cuts in from down the hall, a loud boom is heard* BUGGER! *returns, hair sticking up on end, smoking, suit a little singed*
It was all going so well...
#ChaseForBook9
*gives Harry an odd look* No, I ate them. Because I haven't had one in months, so I had to make up for my lack in stock of them.
*hugs Fabi*
Bye, Fabigail :( see you soon, right?
#ChaseForBook9
*penguin nibbles on flame thrower*
um... Ed?you might want to stop it from doing that...
*hands penguin a fish*
*grabs Trip by his collar and shakes him*
You do not mess with my hall of mirrors I swear to fucking god.
ah *takes flamethrower and throws into time vortex*
Harry: Oh. Right. Well, do you know where I could get any more? Mara will probably murder me if I don't get her any...
#ChaseForBook9
'Course.
I'll probably come back right after I get some food, if there aren't any...unpleasant conflicts taking place.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
ok... well, i might as well tourcher these people by singing
*gets up, goes to mic*
*sings Little Talks*
*shrugs* I honestly don't know. Ask Snow. She got me my Mars Bars.
Trip! What the hell!
Welp, its been fun, kind of, but ive got a booming headache and im tired. Goodnight everyone.
*teleports into Hall of Mirrors*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOO THE PAIN
*teleports out*
*stares at Sparky*
My God.
#ChaseForBook9
Goodnight Gemma!
I warned you.
I warned you I did.
Night Gemma!
*arches an eyebrow at Mara* She did warn you.
bye gemma
*waves* Bye Gemma!
*is a bit delirious, puts finger in the air, is swaying a little* Well, actually I was doing quite well... I deactivated the soul sucking sigil, the flamethrower sigil, and a bunch of other ones. I actually got in, and was so proud of myself, and then that lightening explosion sigil popped up and ... here we are.
#ChaseForBook9
Alright, Fab. See you :) *hugs*
Harry: Okay, thanks Val. *nods*
*walks over to Snow* Excuse me, Snow? Could you possibly tell me where you got those Mars Bars?
#ChaseForBook9
*calls out half way through song* bye gemma!! *resumes singing*
*waves* bye guys
night Gemma.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at Trip*
It's always the lightening sigil that surprises people.
For god's sake, my magic people.
Of course there's a lightening sigil.
*goes upstairs to reset the sigils*
*whimpers*
But it was... just mirrors... how could...
Night Gemma *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
*song ends*
*glances at mara*
one sec
*disappears, returning with mars bars*
Honestly, Trip, her name is Sparky. There's lightning. Always.
Good god. Are you alright
Hello?
Teleporters stay out.
Mostly because Val is, and if she got in there she'd break a mirror and believe me that would not go well.
MARS BARS FOR ALL!! *chucks mars bars everywhere*
Hi Willow!
Harry: Thank you, Snow! *takes Mars Bars* Have a nice day. By the way, I ship Snowlock.
*runs off* MARA I GOT MARS BARS
#ChaseForBook9
*grins at Sparky* I'm really glad that you're aware of how often I break things, or else I'd get attacked by you a lot more often.
hello willow
*quickly comes back for mars bars then leaves again*
The mirrors...
*grips Adra's shoulders* THE MIRRORS HAD EYES!
Oh hey Willow.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
*goes back to ed*
*eyes widen* chill out there, crazy.
Hey Willow
Mara: I see... Oh wow. My head is spinning. *mutters*
MARS BARS ERMAGERD
*grabs loads* *eats them*
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at Val*
It's called tailoring to associates.
Or friends.
Either works.
*frowns as ninja appears outside window*
um... guys... *points*
Why is everyone wearing dresses/suits?
*grabs Trip*
YOU SAW THEM TOO?!
#ChaseForBook9
*nods at Sparky* Whichever it is, it's effective.
Snow we're underground.
No windows.
It's the Requiem Ball, Willow.
HEY WILLOW
IT'S THE REQUIEM BALL
*hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, I don't know what you're talking about.
Ohhh..
The eyes! I saw them!
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* but... theres a window there... *points*
*is really confused*
TRIP
THEY HAD /EYES/!
AND THEY WERE STARING!
WITH THEIR EYES!
#ChaseForBook9
What eyes, Trip
Ed... can you see that window, or is it just me?? *is worried*
you mean that window *points*
The mirrors! There were flaming red eyes on them!
#ChaseForBook9
Harry: Um
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes Adra*
EYES!
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at Sparky and arches an eyebrow* They didn't notice the underground bit.
yeah... that window
*shakes Harry* EYES!
#ChaseForBook9
Trip... *feels his forehead* Jesus you're burning up.
*walks up to both of them*
What are you talking about.
Are you implying that there's something in my mirror maze that I don't know about.
sparky.... there is definitely a window there...
WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
*crosses arms and scowls* I hate not knowing what's going on.
WBVVVVVVD/msd...
Is everyone okay??
I heard a boom...
hey jub jub
Probably the lightening explosion, I'm fine. Sparky! Is this one of your sigils?
#ChaseForBook9
*goes up to window* sparky...
hello jubilance
Harry: *stares at Trip*
Adra what is going on
#ChaseForBook9
....
Val, you take care of whatever Snow's on about.
I have a disaster to avoid.
*sprints upstairs*
*gets changed into my work gear*
No you're certainly not. *murmurs*
No, Em. And we have no explanation
why is there a window where there should be none??
Adra. There were /eyes/! I saw them! So did Mara!
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns at Sparky*
*runs to catch up to her*
I can't take control of a situation. I always end up screwing something up and I have no patience to listen to what's being said.
*eyes appear on window*
GUYS!!!!
Yes- so you've said
Ah!
Adra! Look! The window!
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry! Didn't mean to disappear. But I'm back now :)
the window that shouldnt be here as eyes....
i think this calls for work gear... *teleports away, reappearing in work gear*
I decided to change! :D
But, I'll be incredibly distant, one friend wants relationship advice, one wants a reason to live, one loves me. Why do they all come to me? Whyy
*frowns at the window* We're going to have to fight whatever the hell that thing is, aren't we?
I'm gonna stay as I am. I look dapper.
If I die, it's Adra's fault.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Adra with worry*
Do I need to get Lorcan out of here??
What the hell is going on?
What the blue-spotted Pygmy rabbit is going on?
I have been reminded about the necessity of completing my homework assignments, so wbd, but, like, the Ball's awesome. So I don't want to miss more than I have to!
#ChaseForBook9
I don't know, but I sure don't like the fact that it's watching me.
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at it* I don't see any eyes...
*sighs* well, there goes the ball... at least for now.
Yes, Em.
Wait why is it my fault
Oh, can't we go ONE day without fighting something? *Goes to get changed*
If I knew I would tell you Em. But it appears things made of glass are obtaining fiery eyes.
#ChaseForBook9
*reappears in armour* ok then
You made me wear this! Well not really.
If I die, a tiny bit of the blame rests on you.
#ChaseForBook9
*study's window*
hey... this isn't even attached to the wall....
*shrugs* Well, I'm still enjoying myself, so I think I'm just going to hang out over here and, I dunno, throw stuff.
...Lovely. Just as I was starting to enjoy the party.
#ChaseForBook9
but... i can see outside... how...?
I am incredibly confused. Oh well.
*sits in a tree and eats grapes*
(hey balls are fun, but i needed action!)
Ah well, it'll be over soon. *Pulls on armoured orange shirt and jeans* Snow, you're an expert on sigils, yes?
We could just ignore it. I mean, it's not doing anything. We could just have a party and check it out in the morning. Why waste a good party?
#ChaseForBook9
*starts to tear up*
Guys please can we just stop and calm the situation please.
I have my son in the other room and it is Chase's blogiversary...
Oh god! What's wrong with me?
We need to get on top of this situation everyone.
Willow, we're at the Requiem Ball but some people went exploring in Sparky's Hall of Mirrors and discovered that the mirrors have eyes, so we're freaking out and preparing to fight it.
*triple checks my Makhaira and runs up the stairs three at a time*
No, Val, you can't come up here. No one can.
Go down and take care of the party, I trust you.
*removes armour from robot arm* now i can fight
Oh, Em, I'm sorry, I should've remembered.
Trip's right. We could deal with this when the Ball's over :)
I didn't- *sighs* Whatever
Well, more breaking in, and being horribly beaten to a pulp by sigils, then realising the mirrors had eyes. Not really exploring.
#ChaseForBook9
Msd and wbd
Mara: *mutters* Oh God. Eyes.
Harry: I don't suppose I could take back the ring and propose later, after you all fight the bad things? No?
Mara: What do you mean, us? You're helping.
Harry: WHAT
#ChaseForBook9
um... no, saph
We should wait...
*stops in front of the entrance to the hall of mirrors and breaths out heavily*
Okay.
Okay.
*scowls, and heads back downstairs, muttering* You're trusting the wrong person with any type of responsibility...
Oi! Hey! Everyone! Just, uh, y'know, put a curtain over it!
*thinks*
if its not attached.... *picks up chair*
*hits*
*chair goes through window*
It's an illusion...
[Hovers around uncertainly]
#ChaseForBook9
*Hmms* *Changes back into dress happily* This is better :)
If it's just an illusion, Effie can make it go away. Should I go get her?
#ChaseForBook9
*jumps through window and disappears*
*turns*
right, it looks like some holograph.
anyone have any clue where it came from?
*disables the alarms and sigils and walks in*
*looks around*
Carefully...
*reaches out and flicks the light on*
ED!! *follows*
Maybe it got lost and wandered inside for tea or something.
But Saph did have a point... These plots... Blogland stuff that drive some people away. But whatever*
*has disappeared from the room*
(feel free to continue the ball, me and ed can have a mini plot of our own if you wish)
I feel as though I should help. I think we should just enjoy the ball. Observe from the sidelines until we're needed or fully understand.
#ChaseForBook9
I like that theory, Val.
[Throws tea at the window]
#ChaseForBook9
Snow, check your email
(You guys should ignore me completely)
*hits head on wall* ow
I'm cool with continuing the ball.
*turns, trips on the hem of the dress and faceplants*
ZAF IS IN LSODM OH MY GOD
just putting that out there
#ChaseForBook9
*glances around*
God dammit Edward Fletcher... what have you got us into?
ed? *is alone in a feild*
*Helps Val up*
Mara; Yeah, he put tons of characters in :D
possibly a trap *lasers shoot*
*takes step forward and looks around carefully*
Why did I even build this creepy shit...
snow, where are you?
(HAYLEY WAS IN IT TOO
THAT MAD ME EXCITED
MOMENTARILY)
*trees appear*
huh?? ed, are you here??
*is alone*
