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!

*waves hand* I'm in the book! I think you'll recognise my bit.
Adra?
Kind of wanted to dance with Adra...
Anyone want to dance?
#ChaseForBook9
*takes another step forward*
*looks around again carefully*
im in some sort of castle. *is speaking through communicater*
ADRA
OH MY GOSH
I NEED TO FIND IENI NOW
#ChaseForBook9
Sparky; Funnily enough, the first time I met you, my initial reaction was 'Isn't that the girl who invented Hayley?' I was sooooo jealous of you! :)
*talks through communicator* um... i appear to be ina feild
*stumbles out of space* Whoa
I'm complete rubbish at dancing. Granted, I've never danced, but I trip without trying so I have a feeling that's all that would outcome.
*sits on tabletop and inspects a knife*
IS HAYLEY IN LSODM? :O
Omg I need for search for these characters like now
#ChaseForBook9
Val; Yeah, I loved Ivy's bit! It was so funny :D
(Okay, Sparky)
And I'm going to continue with the ball unless something major happens, I think. Or if there's something I'm specifically needed for.
#ChaseForBook9
can you teleport to the bar or the ball or anyhere?
*sees eye in one of the mirrors*
You, you what are you?
*it blinks*
*narrows eyes*
.... Fuck you.
Mara, do you want me to email you a list of Bloglandians in LSODM?
Saph - I was laughing so hard I was literally in tears.
I shrieked whenever a Bloglandian showed up.
*tries* no, my magic is bound.
(Yes Hayley is in LSODM)
Ivy's bit was really good.
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, late comment.
Ugh... TMS is still not here. But, like, I have money now! Finally!
#ChaseForBook9
(who is ivy??? :-/)
Who wants a drink?
#ChaseForBook9
is there any castles nearby? *is knocked unconcious*
Snow; Ivy is Val's character :)
*carefully puts my hand over the eye and sends a measured pulse of electricity into the mirror*
*whispers*
What are you...
(*nods* kay)
Ivy's bit was spot on. She was exactly like me. Except maybe at the end, but eh.
Trip; Me, please! *Realises how hungry and thirsty I am* *Heads to buffet and starts to nom the food*
REALLY VAL
IS IVY HERE TOO
OH MY GOSH THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE
SAPHY WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME THANK YOU <3
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes her head, eyes wide, frightened* Holy shit
Harry: *walks up to Trip* Hey, Trip, can I have a coke please?
#ChaseForBook9
(Y'know, I should probably go eat something. I've only eaten a half a cinnamon roll today, and before that I hadn't eaten since three, so that's PROBABLY not good... I'll be back. I MUST FIND FOOD.)
Adra, did you know that you're in it?
Mara; Sure :D
ed... i think we just jumped into a trap *feels stupid* goddammit...
*chucks Saph a bottle of water*
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles* It would seem as if I'm sick and forbidden to go to Melbourne. So I shall be here.
*passes Harry a coke*
#ChaseForBook9
*wakes up in cell* where?
*takes hand away from mirror and discovers the eye is gone*
Well that can't be good.
*carefully retreats back to the staircase, turning off the light on the way out*
*resets the sigils*
...
*goes to put my sword away*
Death! *hugs* How are you? Welcome to the requiem ball!
#ChaseForBook9
one sec, i'll see if i can contact the others...
*fiddles with a second communicator* hello?? can anyone here me??
Would you like a drink?
#ChaseForBook9
Death! [hugs]
Wbd, multitasking like a...multitasker.
#ChaseForBook9
*Hugs back* I've got the flu and everything hurts... Dad's going to make me lay on the trampoline for a while... So as good as can be expected. And you Trip? How are you?
Yeah lol.
*wanders up to Trip, shaking her head* what about that dance of ours
*hears crackles in communicator: llo?? ......yo....ere me?*
Um, hello? Who is this?
#ChaseForBook9
*walks back into the ballroom and smiles at Death*
Hey.
Good to see you, Rose.
Thanks Saph! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
*to ed* no one can hear me... are you okay, you went quiet for a bit there...
Good to see you too Sparky.
*Smiles at Fabi*
Hi rose
I'm going to go.. One of my friends has reduced me to tears, the other doesn't want me in her life and the other s trying to convince me I'm beautiful.. I can't try and stay here and be there at the same time. Even though I barely fit in with them, I kinda feel like I fit in here less.. Bye, I guess. :)
I'm fine thank you Death>
Yeah, that never really happened did it. Harralie kind of stole the limelight a bit. Although, I don't mind. Such a happy couple getting married, I'd sacrifice my dance for young love any day.
#ChaseForBook9
*hears trip* TRIP!!! can you hear me??
Harry: *takes drink* Thanks, mate. *takes drink*
HEY DEATH *tacklehugs*
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY
HARRALIE
A WHOLE LOTTA HARRALIE
#ChaseForBook9
i think i got ambushed. snow are yu ok?
*salutes Willow*
Good luck, doer of good.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits back and slowly eats food so I don't injure myself*
Mara, Sent it :)
*Grabs bottle of water* Thanks Trip!
Death! *tackleglomps* Aww, do you have the flu?
im fine...
i thought i had trip for a min there... but, no... its gone again.
Well... Why not finish our dance?
*sorry Willow :( bye*
*RIP!!...ou he.... e???*
Pardon?
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Willow* We're always here if you need us, okay? Love you.
Mara: *blushes* *glances at ring* I just can't believe it myself, if I'm being honest...
#ChaseForBook9
*takes Adra over to the dance floor* Why not?
#ChaseForBook9
Msd...
*screams in communicator* IF ANYONE CAN HEAR ME, HELP!!!!!
*..F ...YONE CAN HEAR ME, HE...*
Snow! Snow, what's going on?
#ChaseForBook9
*calmly presses speak button to communicator* Hi, this is the Krusty Krab. How may I help you?
Bye Willow [hugs]. Best of luck to you.
[Ships Harralie]
#ChaseForBook9
my magics gone and *footsteps* whos that?
darklight: i am the greatest sorcerer that ever lived
skulduggery, you look different
darklight: no, im not him
No, this is Patrick!
*hears something in distance*
*over communicator* Hi, this is the Krusty Krab. How may I help you?
HELP!!
*high fives Sparky*
Oh, Willow *hugs* You are beautiful. Take care!
*Frowns as pain stabs at head* Ow! *Images swim in front of my eyes*- Snow, eyes, mirrors, rose petals*
I think I just had a vision...
*speaks again* I don't know how I'm supposed to help you. You need to give me some specifics. I'm good at helping with things like... Well, actually, I'm rubbish at helping.
Val OMG.
Well... Looks like we'll have to put the dance on hold.. *sounds disgruntled*
*HELP!!*
Snow! SNOW!
#ChaseForBook9
Mara: *leans head on Harry's shoulder*
Harry: Hey, boo. You want a drink?
Mara: No thanks, Haz. *yawns* I'm fine.
Harry: .. You're so beautiful.
Mara: *goes red* Uhm, thank you Harry.. *laughs* Where did that come from?
Harry: I'm just so happy my fiancee is you.
Mara: Harry... *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
Snow?
*waves hand at Trip and uses the air to push him towards Adra* Oh, go dance with her. We'll take care of this.
Patrick, the restaurant IS the Krusty Krab.
#ChaseForBook9
*hears trip*
ed has been abducted and i am in a field somewhere and both or powers are bound.
I can hear Snow! *Concentrates* She's... *points* That way! She needs help!
*hi-fives Val*
Booyeah.
*seems almost reluctant*
Thanks Val. *smiles*
So, where were we?
#ChaseForBook9
She didn't say what kind of help she needed, though. I mean, I could probably do a rescue, but I can't help with things like gardening or something. So I'd need to know why I'm helping.
Trip; You were about to kiss Adra?
*grins*
Niall: is this Nando's?
Patrick: No, this is Patrick.
NANDO'S IS AMAZAYN
#ChaseForBook9
I... Thanks Val.
I actually don't remember *laughs nervously*
Oh Dear God, my friends are useless...
HELP GODDAMMIT!!! i've lost ed, i am lost myself and neither of us have the use of magic! HELP!!
I was? I got all caught up in the mortal peril, I forgot. *kisses Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
TRIP YOU AND ADRA WERE GOING TO KISS AND THEN GET MARRIED *nods*
WE CAN HAVE A DOUBLE WEDDING O_O
#ChaseForBook9
*speaks into the communicator again* I can't help with a garden, but I could probably do some fancy heroic rescue thing. Is that what you need? I can track your communicator and teleport over.
*Winces* *Stumbles in the direction that leads to Snow* Adrip, Harralie, ignore us. You four deserve an evening of happiness :)
*faceplams*
*to val* YES VAL, THATS WHAT I NEED!!
*hums "Love Is In The Air"*
*frowns at communicator* Well, no need to shout, as fun as it may be.
I just need a moment to track the communicator.
darklight: i will extract your magic adding it to my own then you will be released...
oh, ok
darklight: into the wolves cage
ah
darklight: shall we begin *lifts scalpel*
*to ed* i think we may be doomed.
*pulls him closer* Right. Like, all day I have been waiting for you.
*Is running through fields* SNOW! SNOW!
(Adrip <3)
...
#ChaseForBook9
*magic suddenly returns*
*latches on to ed's brain waves and teleports to him*
Okay. I think we should leave this one to those guys. They seem to have this under control.
#ChaseForBook9
*teleports to Snow and Ed* Tada! I'm here! Everyone come over here so I can teleport you because my patience is non-existent!
*to snow* i used my communicators link to send a distress signal from your location, you just have to wait. unless there is any monsters *screams in pain*
*scowls at the now empty room* Well dammit.
*teleports back*
*val an my magic gets bound*
Good idea
*starts to dance, bringing Adra with him*
#ChaseForBook9
*and
*frowns at Snow* Wait, my magic gets bound too? That's no fair! I like magic. *sulks*
*punches darklight*
get your grubby hands of my boyfriend!!
*sighs and sits on couch*
All this romance-y stuff is doing my head in.
*mulls it over*
I really need to get a nice girlfriend at some point...
darklight: the others have arrived. dont go anywhere oh wait, you cant
*dances, slowly relaxing* So...
*darklights nose bleeds* ow
*releases i just called ed my boyfriend*
*arches an eyebrow at Darklight* Um, yeah, we can leave if we want. We all have legs, you know. We can walk.
So...
#ChaseForBook9
SPARKY I WILL SHIP IT SO HARD
SO
HARD
*Snowlock*
*reattaches robotic arm and walks towards snow* thank you
*pokes wall and it ripples* *shouts at it* Oi, Sparky! Does this thing lead to your tree house?
*glares at darklight*
you really cannot fight for shit.
Sorry I disappeared - washing up etc.
*looks around*
*looks at single-ness*
...
WELL...
Now I feel totally alone
:P
*kisses him again* Hi
((looks at OWN* single-ness - just to clarify :P))
*darklight runs away into castle* my magic is coming back
*glances at Adra*
... What?
right, lets go
*walks through fake wall*
I feel like any eloquence we both possessed before this dance has suddenly decided to sit at the sidelines and watch.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs and walks through wall* Snazzy.
*walks through fake wall*
Sparky, if you get a girlfriend, irl or RP, I will ship it so hard.
Yeah... Funny. *laughs nervously again*
Sorry, gtg! See you all!xx
#ChaseForBook9
dear god, what was that all about?
*realizes saph is still walking through a field looking for me* shit...
Bye Mara! <3
#chaseforbook9
*looks back and forth between Adra and Trip* *sighs in exasperation* Oh for God's sake, just enjoy yourselves.
*puts on music and somehow manages not to break it*
Now. Dance. Have fun. Try not to kiss too much.
Bye Mara!
#ChaseForBook9
*armour turns into suit*
bye mara
*scrambles for words, can't find any*
#ChaseForBook9
ahem.....
*kisses Ed*
that is for the adrenaline
*punches Ed in arm*
and that is for being so bloody stupid!
*blushes deeply at Val*
*hides her face*
Bye Mara
Night, Mara!
...I'm completely clueless as to what's currently going on.
#ChaseForBook9
*crosses arms and scowls at Adra* It's not everyday I encourage something other than hitting people, so you'd better enjoy yourself.
*laughs at Snow* Sounds familiar.
You know, we really ought to go back in time sometime again. As obnoxious as it was... *shrugs*
*kisses snow* ow
*reappears in dress*
*nods*
Mm, yes, I certainly hope people will ship me with whoever my next girlfriend is.
...
Let's just hope that one doesn't cheat on me as well.
*looks at the three now happy couples*
Val, let me teach you something about being single around a bunch of couples at my age.
It fucking sucks.
back intime?
(adra: *grins* i couldnt resist!!)
Sparky, how old are you?
#chaseforbook9
*kisses ed*
come on, lets dance!
15.
16 next May.
Fair enough :)
#chaseforbook9
ok *takes snow onto dancefloor*
What do you MEAN "the cows never arrived"?!
I'm practically the same age as you, Sparky, and nearly all my friends are in relationships. It's uncomfortable. I mean, yeah, it'd be nice to hug someone who doesn't flinch from me every once in a while, but I've never been in a relationship, so I suppose I wouldn't understand what it's like to someone who has been in one.
Eh, they're all rp. Just, the same as a story.
I don't know. Last time I had to save you from a mad roman emperor. And I had to enlist Jubi to my cause. No offence to Jubi, but that's a pretty massive liability when time travelling.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrieks and tackles Mist* MOOSE! HI!
roman emporers and dinosaurs trip
Sparky that would be unfortunate... :( but you'll find her
Hello Zath.
#ChaseForBook9
HEY LEMON. *throws a lemon at her*
Oh god... the dinosaurs.
#ChaseForBook9
*gets hit in the face with a lemon and scowls*
*picks up a moose and chucks it at him*
HA.
*thinks*
just saved you when we were on a date... is that a rescue date?
*sits, watching everyone on the dancefloor and greeting one another. Still can't get used to the feel of the dress*
*frowns* But... It was for the guy who was being whipped to death
I'll find her.
*stands up*
It would seem my best bro and therefore date has arrived.
Zathract get that moose out of my ballroom.
i suppose it is a rescue date *dances*
Hey Zath!
oh, come on!! twice in a row??
fine.
i ded to.... punching people in the face, because it is fun.
*whispers to Em* I couldn't get used to the dress either. I just put on trousers and combat boots underneath.
Again, not my fault.
*hurls the moose into the lake*
S'alright, it's a waterproof moose.
If there are freaking fire proof ducks then there can be a waterproof moose.
(violent nature? pfft! no!!)
But he probably deserved it. He was probably a criminal. Sure, nowadays that's not acceptable. But back then...
It was getting off lightly.
#ChaseForBook9
*dances*
all in all, this has been amazing
Yep.
#ChaseForBook9
*drags Miles over to the buffet*
I'm not even sorry, brosef, it feel too weird to call you Zath anymore.
Now, where did I leave the M&M's bowl...
*throws packet of M&M's at Sparky* CAAAAAAAANDY!
I really don't mind.
Oh yeah. I wonder... Totally didn't steal it last night or anything...
*sighs*
i have to go :(
*huggles all*
*kisses Ed*
BYE!!
But what I'd he just took some bread to feed himself? How do you know that
Y'know, I think I'm going to give up on trying to figure out what's happening and just watch you all.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Snow *winks*
*huggles Em*
Seeya, Snow.
Yo, Fabi.
FALSE ALARM!!!!!!!
i can stay!! :P
*waves* Bye Snow!
*sighs*
people keep confusing me IRL
*waves* Hi Snow!
*catches the packet of candy and tears it open*
M&M's...
Because that wasn't a crime punishable by death. And you can't save someone on the slim chance that they /might/ not be murderer.
*twirls Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
right...
lets get this party started!!
*opens a portal and penguins pour trough*
who wants to go back in time?
FLIPPIN' HELL!
Every time I have to disappear to do the vacuuming or something, there's a million comments for me to read when I come back...
*spins around*
But still. Being whipped- that's barbaric
