Competition Winners!

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!

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Walks up to random penguin* Like to dance?

Emerald Melody said...

*smiles at Val*
It's just I haven't worn this dress since December. So it's a bit stiff.

Snow said...

this is what you get when you invite the penguin king and the penguin queen to a party!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Waves]

Yep, it's like that, Saph.

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

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Waves back to Fabi over crowd of people/ penguins* *Starts to dance with Christopher the penguin*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Snow said...

*Steve the penguin asks fab to dance*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*squeals because I'm actually taller than these hobbits*

Snow said...

Zathract Mist said...

*whispers*

Sparky.

Hey.

Hey Sparky.

Guess what?

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Watches penguins attacking hobbits*
...
Maybe we should've kept it 'humans/ vampires only'...

Snow said...

*orders penguins to be friendly*

Noelle said...

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

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

What? The penguins and hobbits are fighting?

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

*freezes hobbits*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Don't do it, Miles.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

He'll just have been killed more brutally afterwards. Good at being brutal, them Romans were.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*laughs*

Zathract Mist said...

I'm doin' it.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*energy defrosts Hobbits* Can we please just have a nice ball?

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

but freezing people is fun

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*glances suspiciously between Moose and Sparky* I feel like you guys are plotting something.

Noelle said...

I know. They tosses random hordes of people into pits of lions for fun

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*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)

Snow said...

(omg... saph... i didnt even know that existed, i swear!)

Snow said...

*kisses ed* freeze anyone else and i leave.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Me neither!)

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, that's not strictly true...

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

*stops freezing people*

Sparky Braginski said...

Don't do it...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*frowns at Moose and Sparky* You guys are plotting, I know it.

Zathract Mist said...

Imma doing it!

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Laughs* Steve the ninja penguin is awesome...

Snow said...

*grins*

Noelle said...

...would it be against the laws to go back and see... See my parents?

Edward Fletcher said...

*kisses snow* dance?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls* I wanna know what's happening.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

There are no laws.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

So.... If I wanted to... I could see them, right? It wouldn't make a paradox or anything

Sparky Braginski said...

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)

Snow said...

sure

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

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

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah, it's possible.

#ChaseForBook9

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*frowns at Moose* You're planning on going evil, aren't you?

Zathract Mist said...

IM DOING IT...!

(No I didn't, but I'll read it now)

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Sparky; Yep.
Adra; You can try, but for some reason it's always hard to find specific people.

Edward Fletcher said...

adra, do you need to time travel?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

What? No, don't delay! I wanna know what you're planning!


Zathract Mist said...

*deep breath*

*lets the cows out*

The game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game The game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game The game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game the game

Noelle said...

No not now. Some other time

Sparky Braginski said...

DAMNIT MILES

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*shrieks*

*leaps into the flaming lake, wondering how it's even on fire*

Snow said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Noelle said...

Bye Ed.

Sorry as well.

#ChaseForBook9

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*takes the skillet from Adra and whacks Moose in the head with it*

Zathract Mist said...

I can feel the love.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*hits Moose again* Goddammit.

Noelle said...

*laughs*
Right. *suddenly turns them around in fast circles*

Jophiel said...

Sorry... I fell asleep...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Wheeeee!

#ChaseForBook9

Zathract Mist said...

Hey Death!

Ebony Law said...

-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?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls at Moose again and sits cross legged on the floor, flicking things at people*

Jophiel said...

Sup Zath?

Hiya Alex!

Snow said...

*hums*

*decides to sing "Mermaid" by Train over the Karaoke machine*

Jophiel said...

Next one down I guess.

#ChaseForBook9

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

WHY ISN'T THERE A POST FOR THE BALL?

Noelle said...

*skids to a stop*
*her head is spinning*

Whoa

Ebony Law said...

Thanks Rose.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm officially not here now, dinner.

Back soon!

#ChaseForBook9

Sparky Braginski said...

... Since when did Dylan have a treehouse?

Noelle said...

DEREK will probably put it up tomorrow

Jophiel said...

*Smiles* Not a problem, Alex!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*continues flicking things at people*


*waves* Bye Fabi!

Jophiel said...

Bye Fabi!

Snow said...

bye fab!!

*is still singing*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bye Fabi.

#ChaseForBook9

Sparky Braginski said...

... Oh god wait, another couple?

*links arm with Miles*

Welcome to hell, my friend.

Zathract Mist said...

He built one back in our early days, Sparky.

We ignored it. Essentially.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And I have a castle but no one is really all that aware of it.

Zathract Mist said...

*laughs*

Snow said...

*song ends*

*walks up to penguin*

care to dance?

*dances with penguin*

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh yeah...

Noelle said...

Bye Fabi!!

Admit it- Tadra begun this shipping Apocalypse this summer

Sparky Braginski said...

Snow, are you clubbing with a penguin?

Snow said...

@sparky yep!

Zathract Mist said...

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.

Jophiel said...

*Yawns sleepily* Stupid flu...

Snow said...

*penguin walks up to deathy*

penguin: Meah!! *penguin wants a hug*

Noelle said...

Hmm... Wanna get a drink? We've been dancing for a while

Sparky Braginski said...

My theme park...

Jophiel said...

*Shrugs and hugs penguin* Hi little fella!

Zathract Mist said...

I know it's still there, Sparky, I just don't bother visualising it.

If I did, everything would be way to crowded.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*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*

Sparky Braginski said...

Okay, I'm serious can we please get the animals out of my house?

Snow said...

*penguin goes up to val and hugs her*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*stiffens and doesn't move, hoping that'll make the penguin go away*

Snow said...

fine... *asks penguins to leave*

*penguins fly away*

Snow said...

btw, like my new pic?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Sure. *pulls away, heads over to te punch bowls*

#ChaseForBook9

Zathract Mist said...

*walks up to the penguin with matches*

*looks at Sparky*

Zathract Mist said...

FINE

Snow said...

ZATH NO!!!!!!!!!

Jophiel said...

Not the punch bowls, Trip... They're evil...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*looks at the two punch bowls, can't pick between 'spiked' or 'pure'.

#ChaseForBook9

Zathract Mist said...

D:

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*snatches the matches away from Moose*

*lights one and throws it*

*lights another one and drops it on my leg*


AHHHHH! FIRE!

Noelle said...

He's Snow!

And yeah! The punch you spiked

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*frowns* Wait, I'm an Elemental. Goddammit. *waves hand and flames go out*

Snow said...

*has no clue of what to do*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*goes for spiked*

#ChaseForBook9

Ebony Law said...

-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-

Noelle said...

*laughs at Val*

Ebony Law said...

-fits the small gem into a ring, and puts it on-

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls at Adra*

Noelle said...

*frowns* *goes off to the side away from everyone* Alex, what the hell?

Ebony Law said...

(Is in my workshop, secluded from everyone)

Snow said...

*is bored*

i have nothing to do.... *sighs*

*spikes the other punch*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*makes mental note not to drink any punch*

Ebony Law said...

-hides the bigger gem in a metal spherical container in my workshop, and teleports into Chester-

Noelle said...

((You're tethered to my mind- I can feel the darkness off you))

Ebony Law said...

(BRB)

Snow said...

*chugs some punch*

Jophiel said...

*Eyes punch bowls* You are evil... I haven't forgotten the last Ball...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*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.

Sparky Braginski said...

*snarls*

I don't like telporters...

Noelle said...

*goes back to the punch bowl, choosing the pure one, downing the whole thing*

Snow said...

*twirls around*

WEE!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*arches an eyebrow* You don't like Teleporters?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Why Sparky?

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*frowns* but i'm a teleporter...

Zathract Mist said...

Does anyone?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I have returned.

Yay.

#ChaseForBook9

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*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.

Zathract Mist said...

Yo, Fabi.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Zaffy half on she be back half hour)

Jophiel said...

They're kinda freaky, I'll admit. Teleporters can come at anytime and scare the bejezzus out of you...

Ebony Law said...

-teleports into the ball in my completely white tuxedo with a red bow tie and a red Rose in my blazer pocket-

Sparky Braginski said...

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.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hi Zaf, Fabi.

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

*Smiles* Nice outfit, Chrome!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Which is why I generally use the door to Sparky's house.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh hello Alex.

#ChaseForBook9

Sparky Braginski said...

So...

Alex would you please stop teleporting in and out of my house, or I will activate symbols to make it a painful experience.

Ebony Law said...

(I'm not a teleporter, I can just teleport. Obvious difference..)

Sparky Braginski said...

Val, it's why you get to have a key.

... You do have a key, right?

Ebony Law said...

Well, putting me into serious pain will probably bring out Dwyer or Gauntlet. And believe me, you don't want either of them.

Snow said...

*chugs the spiked punch, all of it*

WEEE!! *twirls*

Noelle said...

Hi guys

*glances wearily at Alex, then pours herself more punch*

Sparky Braginski said...

...

I really hate myself for thinking the things I think about you, Alex.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

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*

Ebony Law said...

-walks over to Rose and kisses her-

Hey beautiful.

Jophiel said...

*Laughs* You guys are weird...

Noelle said...

*eyes widen* Don't put him in pain.

Sparky Braginski said...

*gives Val a new key*

Knew you'd lose it.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hello Death, Sparky, Zath, Trip, Snow, Val, Alex, Zaf and anyone I missed.

#ChaseForBook9

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls at the kissing*

Zathract Mist said...

You can borrow mine when you need to, Ivy.

Jophiel said...

*Blushes and screws up face* I'm not beautiful! But hi!

Sparky Braginski said...

Only if he teleports.

Only if he teleports in for that matter.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

*And Adra

#ChaseForBook9

Zathract Mist said...

Fine. Ignore my generosity.

Sparky Braginski said...

I feel like I'm being ignored.

Jophiel said...

Hi Fabi! *Waves*

Sparky Braginski said...

You and me, Miles.

Peas in a pod.

Ebony Law said...

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-

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*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*

Snow said...

*has chuged all the spiked punch*

*is hyper*

*twirls*

Sparky Braginski said...

I'd rather not say.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*tackles Moose and Sparky*


We can all be loners together.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*spikes the punch again*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I think you're a pain in the ass and knowing you, you'd just transfer the pain to someone else

Sparky Braginski said...

Heh, Val, remember Miles is technically my date to this thing.

Because I got him in the Jensen Ackles tux.

Jophiel said...

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* ))

Ebony Law said...

-takes a sip of punch, my ring visible-

Remember what this ring can do, Adra?

Sparky Braginski said...

Alex, where are you from again?

Zathract Mist said...

Nice.

* puts up a banner that says "Loner Corner*

Weird how that happened considering the ball's being held indie Chester.

Snow said...

*stands up*

*twirls*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*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.

Nixion Strange said...

Heh
Hi

Sparky Braginski said...

Miles, you have a key for good reason.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh.
