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!

lol... *portal closes*
penguins!!!
*Walks up to random penguin* Like to dance?
*smiles at Val*
It's just I haven't worn this dress since December. So it's a bit stiff.
this is what you get when you invite the penguin king and the penguin queen to a party!
[Waves]
Yep, it's like that, Saph.
#ChaseForBook9
Not back then. There's certain coldness you have to learn with time travelling. I was like you he first time around, I wanted to make everything better. I knew I couldn't, or it could destroy the universe, but I wanted to. You need to put yourself in the people of that time's mindset every few seconds.
#ChaseForBook9
*Waves back to Fabi over crowd of people/ penguins* *Starts to dance with Christopher the penguin*
Bob: And this is what happens when you invite a hobbit lord to a party! *63 hobbits enter*
#ChaseForBook9
*Steve the penguin asks fab to dance*
*squeals because I'm actually taller than these hobbits*
HA!! lol.... god, this ball has gone out of hand! *shrugs*
*whispers*
Sparky.
Hey.
Hey Sparky.
Guess what?
*Watches penguins attacking hobbits*
...
Maybe we should've kept it 'humans/ vampires only'...
*orders penguins to be friendly*
Right....
How do you know I wasn't supposed to go back and take the whip away? What if he became a doctor who saved people? How do you know I want supposed to save him
What? The penguins and hobbits are fighting?
#ChaseForBook9
*freezes hobbits*
(Don't dance with him Fabi! This is Steve's back story; http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6616839/10/Vaurien-Scapegrace-Last-Stand-of-Dead-Men )
Don't do it, Miles.
He'll just have been killed more brutally afterwards. Good at being brutal, them Romans were.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
trip... help your hobbits, and ed, try not to freeze people!
I'm doin' it.
...
#ChaseForBook9
*energy defrosts Hobbits* Can we please just have a nice ball?
#ChaseForBook9
but freezing people is fun
*glances suspiciously between Moose and Sparky* I feel like you guys are plotting something.
I know. They tosses random hordes of people into pits of lions for fun
*Sighs* I've been back in time twice. I was looking for my family. I don't remember them, I only know what Alex told me- I turned up at his door, six years old, blabbering about being lost from my family and feverish. I fainted, and when I woke up three days later, I didn't remember anything.
(This is RP, by the way)
(omg... saph... i didnt even know that existed, i swear!)
*kisses ed* freeze anyone else and i leave.
(Me neither!)
#ChaseForBook9
Well, that's not strictly true...
#ChaseForBook9
*stops freezing people*
Don't do it...
*frowns at Moose and Sparky* You guys are plotting, I know it.
Imma doing it!
*Laughs* Steve the ninja penguin is awesome...
*grins*
...would it be against the laws to go back and see... See my parents?
*kisses snow* dance?
*scowls* I wanna know what's happening.
There are no laws.
#ChaseForBook9
So.... If I wanted to... I could see them, right? It wouldn't make a paradox or anything
DON'T DO IT
(Oh btw did you read the whole mess with the mirror maze? Started on the last page a fair way down)
sure
Time travel is not officially recognised as existing, so...
Really, it's the rules you come up with as a time traveller to keep the universe safe.
But, you could defineately meet you parents yes.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, it's possible.
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns at Moose* You're planning on going evil, aren't you?
IM DOING IT...!
(No I didn't, but I'll read it now)
Sparky; Yep.
Adra; You can try, but for some reason it's always hard to find specific people.
adra, do you need to time travel?
What? No, don't delay! I wanna know what you're planning!
*deep breath*
*lets the cows out*

#ChaseForBook9

Hang on, Trip
*hits Zath with a skillet* FUCKER
*goes back, resuming the dance* Sorry.
Bye Ed.
Sorry as well.
#ChaseForBook9
*takes the skillet from Adra and whacks Moose in the head with it*
I can feel the love.
*hits Moose again* Goddammit.
*laughs*
Right. *suddenly turns them around in fast circles*
Sorry... I fell asleep...
Wheeeee!
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Death!
-sits in my workshop, the highest room in my treehouse, and brings out the glowing red gemstone from my coat pocket-
Someone link the next post we need to go to?
*scowls at Moose again and sits cross legged on the floor, flicking things at people*
Sup Zath?
Hiya Alex!
*hums*
*decides to sing "Mermaid" by Train over the Karaoke machine*
http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1104475307058729066&postID=5409400327769304098&isPopup=true
Next one down I guess.
#ChaseForBook9
WHY ISN'T THERE A POST FOR THE BALL?
*skids to a stop*
*her head is spinning*
Whoa
Thanks Rose.
I'm officially not here now, dinner.
Back soon!
#ChaseForBook9
... Since when did Dylan have a treehouse?
DEREK will probably put it up tomorrow
*Smiles* Not a problem, Alex!
*continues flicking things at people*
*waves* Bye Fabi!
Bye Fabi!
bye fab!!
*is still singing*
Bye Fabi.
#ChaseForBook9
... Oh god wait, another couple?
*links arm with Miles*
Welcome to hell, my friend.
He built one back in our early days, Sparky.
We ignored it. Essentially.
And I have a castle but no one is really all that aware of it.
*laughs*
*song ends*
*walks up to penguin*
care to dance?
*dances with penguin*
Oh yeah...
Bye Fabi!!
Admit it- Tadra begun this shipping Apocalypse this summer
Snow, are you clubbing with a penguin?
@sparky yep!
There've been so many additions to Blogland that I stopped counting them as what makes up the scene in my head after the Forest came around.
So no oceans, only two treehouses, no castle, no theme park.
*Yawns sleepily* Stupid flu...
*penguin walks up to deathy*
penguin: Meah!! *penguin wants a hug*
Hmm... Wanna get a drink? We've been dancing for a while
My theme park...
*Shrugs and hugs penguin* Hi little fella!
I know it's still there, Sparky, I just don't bother visualising it.
If I did, everything would be way to crowded.
*scowls and crosses arms, sitting in the corner* I'm bored.
*remembers a different time I got bored and bad things happened to certain characters* *laughs hysterically*
Okay, I'm serious can we please get the animals out of my house?
*penguin goes up to val and hugs her*
*stiffens and doesn't move, hoping that'll make the penguin go away*
fine... *asks penguins to leave*
*penguins fly away*
btw, like my new pic?
Sure. *pulls away, heads over to te punch bowls*
#ChaseForBook9
*walks up to the penguin with matches*
*looks at Sparky*
FINE
ZATH NO!!!!!!!!!
Not the punch bowls, Trip... They're evil...
*looks at the two punch bowls, can't pick between 'spiked' or 'pure'.
#ChaseForBook9
D:
*snatches the matches away from Moose*
*lights one and throws it*
*lights another one and drops it on my leg*
AHHHHH! FIRE!
He's Snow!
And yeah! The punch you spiked
*frowns* Wait, I'm an Elemental. Goddammit. *waves hand and flames go out*
*has no clue of what to do*
*goes for spiked*
#ChaseForBook9
-melts the gem into a mold, which is what the gem looked like before, only small enough to fit into a ring-
-puts the rest into another mold, which is only slightly smaller than what it was originally-
*laughs at Val*
-fits the small gem into a ring, and puts it on-
*scowls at Adra*
*frowns* *goes off to the side away from everyone* Alex, what the hell?
(Is in my workshop, secluded from everyone)
*is bored*
i have nothing to do.... *sighs*
*spikes the other punch*
*makes mental note not to drink any punch*
-hides the bigger gem in a metal spherical container in my workshop, and teleports into Chester-
((You're tethered to my mind- I can feel the darkness off you))
(BRB)
*chugs some punch*
*Eyes punch bowls* You are evil... I haven't forgotten the last Ball...
*lays on the floor*
I want to do something. Something entertaining. I'm even willing to temporarily ignore my phobia of people and dance, as long as I'm doing something.
*snarls*
I don't like telporters...
*goes back to the punch bowl, choosing the pure one, downing the whole thing*
*twirls around*
WEE!!!
*arches an eyebrow* You don't like Teleporters?
Why Sparky?
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* but i'm a teleporter...
Does anyone?
I have returned.
Yay.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises hand* I like Teleporters. I am one, to a certain degree. Oh, and Fletcher's one. And Fletcher's hot. So yeah, I like some of them.
Yo, Fabi.
(Zaffy half on she be back half hour)
They're kinda freaky, I'll admit. Teleporters can come at anytime and scare the bejezzus out of you...
-teleports into the ball in my completely white tuxedo with a red bow tie and a red Rose in my blazer pocket-
No, I'm fine with them as people.
But I'm uncomfortable with people having the ability to come and go in my house as they please.
Which is why I have my sigils in places.
Hi Zaf, Fabi.
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles* Nice outfit, Chrome!
Which is why I generally use the door to Sparky's house.
Oh hello Alex.
#ChaseForBook9
So...
Alex would you please stop teleporting in and out of my house, or I will activate symbols to make it a painful experience.
(I'm not a teleporter, I can just teleport. Obvious difference..)
Val, it's why you get to have a key.
... You do have a key, right?
Well, putting me into serious pain will probably bring out Dwyer or Gauntlet. And believe me, you don't want either of them.
*chugs the spiked punch, all of it*
WEEE!! *twirls*
Hi guys
*glances wearily at Alex, then pours herself more punch*
...
I really hate myself for thinking the things I think about you, Alex.
Er, well, about that... I may or may not have lost that. Misplaced is a word for it. Currently not somewhere I'm aware of is a term for it.
*tries to look innocent*
-walks over to Rose and kisses her-
Hey beautiful.
*Laughs* You guys are weird...
*eyes widen* Don't put him in pain.
*gives Val a new key*
Knew you'd lose it.
Hello Death, Sparky, Zath, Trip, Snow, Val, Alex, Zaf and anyone I missed.
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls at the kissing*
You can borrow mine when you need to, Ivy.
*Blushes and screws up face* I'm not beautiful! But hi!
Only if he teleports.
Only if he teleports in for that matter.
*And Adra
#ChaseForBook9
Fine. Ignore my generosity.
I feel like I'm being ignored.
Hi Fabi! *Waves*
You and me, Miles.
Peas in a pod.
Why, what do you think of me? -walks over to Adra, and pours myself some punch-
-pulls out a phial filled with blue liquid, and pours it into the punch, purifying it-
*takes new key from Sparky and puts it in a pocket* Thanks. I'll undoubtedly have lost it by next week. *smiles and wanders off*
*has chuged all the spiked punch*
*is hyper*
*twirls*
I'd rather not say.
*tackles Moose and Sparky*
We can all be loners together.
*spikes the punch again*
#ChaseForBook9
I think you're a pain in the ass and knowing you, you'd just transfer the pain to someone else
Heh, Val, remember Miles is technically my date to this thing.
Because I got him in the Jensen Ackles tux.
Oh dear Lord, Snowy! *Grabs Snow's arm and hauls her to a seat* Stay!
(I'm not ignoring you guys, I just can't come up with anything good to reply with... *Pouts* ))
-takes a sip of punch, my ring visible-
Remember what this ring can do, Adra?
Alex, where are you from again?
Nice.
* puts up a banner that says "Loner Corner*
Weird how that happened considering the ball's being held indie Chester.
*stands up*
*twirls*
*frowns* So that means you guys aren't loners? Oh, come on! That makes me a lonely loner. I haven't even got some weird somehow a date thing to this.
Heh
Hi
Miles, you have a key for good reason.
Oh.
