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!

#ChaseForBook9
Yes! And I went up the ladder and there was nothing there :3
But that's okay because I um...
Tag.
You're it.
And by some stroke of luck I got on with the old password
Oh. Okay then. Well I hung some dogs. Yeah. But anyway.
I have no idea how to say hello to my god.
#ChaseForBook9
I got Minecraft Trip! You got to go on
GOOD LORD
0.0
I enjoy the sheep though.
And the signs...
*chuckles* You have a present though. About four of us are on already
... And now it seems I'm back. I've obviously played too much mass effect because in the time that I was gone I had like a micro-dream about a husk. And husks are not nice.
And it's one in the morning for me. I can't just go about playing Minecraft at this hour.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeeeeeees you can!
*nods*
But if not, well. I can multitask.
Hey Dragona!
Actually, are we not still in with the dinosaurs?
[Roars sort of pathetically]
#ChaseForBook9
I kinda hope Coco comes
*giggles at Fabi, riding her brachiosaurus*
HELLO FELLOW BRACHIOSAURUS
*waves as it begins to pick up a pace and shouts, hugging it's neck*
Eeeeeeyyyyaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Um, just a bit of advice: if you want to be a dinosaur, pick the spinosaurus. It may have eaten fish but it was practically unbeatable. It was the same size as most other predators but was a lot faster and more agile due to its slimmer frame.
Sorry I proofed.
#ChaseForBook9
I am a human
*waves*
*sits in tree*
Because I'm a brave idiot. When I have the choice to fight or flee, I'll flee, right into a wall. Then, with my back against it I'll fight.
Also, I would be able to make myself a t-shirt that said: Derek Landy horribly murdered me.
Plus, I AM YOUR FATHER!
That was my fifty words for the competition. What do you think?
#ChaseForBook9
And now I'm just waiting for someone to mention the fight between the spinosaurus and the tyrannosaurus in Jurassic park 3.
Another bit of advice, don't listen to Jurassic park. They made the velociraptors 2m too large. Irl they were up to your knee. And had feathers.
Yeah, they were basically murder chickens. God damn awesome murder chickens.
#ChaseForBook9
They are not velociraptors. They were closer to utahraptors.
"I GOT ATTACKED BY A PACK OF MURDER CHICKENS!"
"Uh, right..."
What fifty words competition?
But yeah that was grand.
*slides down the neck if the dinosaur near it's head*
Weeeee!
Go to the competition page of the Skulduggery Pleasant website. Then you will understand.
#ChaseForBook9
And that's when the murder chickens would attack and kill them all. That's the more realistic Jurassic park.
Oh and something else: it shouldn't be called Jurassic park. Tyrannosaurus and some other dinosaurs were in the cretaceous period.
You can so tell I'm doing a level geology.
Aaaaaaaaah. At any rate, sounds grand!
*nods*
*clings to the dinosaur's face as it raises it's head again*
AAAAIIIIIEEEEEE
*it begins to walk, swaying violently*
...I'm gone.
And if I knew what was good for me, I'd stay that way, but we all know I'll be back later.
Ciao.
#ChaseForBook9
I think it was a marketing thing. Jurassic Park just sounds cooler.

Papercraft mass effect characters... I want.
See ya Fabsi! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Ah. The law says you can't enter the competition. Oops. Pretend I didn't say anything, you'll be better off that way.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabi
Right... I have £40 to spend on whatever I want so I might go crazy and buy ten mass effect posters.
GOD DAMMIT! I just accidentally read a spoiler. Not a big one, a pretty obvious one, but a spoiler all the same.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabio!
*swings from the dinosaur as roars are heard*
YO GUYS
WE MIGHT HAVE COMPANY.
*the dinosaur begins to run*
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Ah, we're fine.
#ChaseForBook9

Love that scene. Giant worm with legs vs giant metal machine. Awesome. (and Adra it shows what a reaper looks like if you're interested)
Right. *swings up* You have fun with that.
GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *more dinosaurs running past*
*Yo I really ought to minecraft. Ari, Zaf, Em, Don and I are all on!!*
Then go, have fun. You deserve it. I'll sleep, I deserve it.
#ChaseForBook9
I feel like we're missing a roleplay. :/
ALEXXXXXXXX
WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT I'M STILL FUCKING CONNECTED TO YOUR MIND.
And ah... Right. *scree* The ball is tomorrow
Hey Alex.
#ChaseDorBook9
Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs the dinosaur as they run down a hill* Nyeeereeh!
*jumps off, tumbling down a tree*
*hits a giant mushroom*
*bounces off into a lake*
Whoa...
I should go now. Night!
Well, I just signed up for the competition. And I mentioned Gilmore Girls, so you guys are probably gonna lose.
Oh yeah. Hi.
Now, what should I wear?
I'm thinking a white tuxedo to go with my white hair. White shoes, as well. And then a red bow tie, and a red rose in my blazer pocket. That should work.
To the ball, I mean.
Night Dragona!
Right. *Alex completely ignores her* Fine, cool. *grumbles, eating another leaf and waiting for another dinosaur to come around*
-kills ALL the dinosaurs-
Pay attention to me.
Wait, Adra, are you interested in Halo?
Sounds grand!
Oh yeah. Hi!
What /did/ happen to your hair Alex?
#ChaseForBook9
*sits up*
((Also, Gerald is having a disco at the lab. He's gone AWOL))
God I hate Gerald. He's a fuckin' asshole. He was such a pain to take from the bar to your lab, I even questioned the logic of taking the last surviving sheep, and not just spawning one in. But it's the thought that counts. Even if my thoughts the whole way there were, I hate you so much Gerald, why are you such a pain?
Probably because I killed everyone he knew before his very eyes.
#ChaseForBook9
((OH MY GOD I AM DEAD))
Ah... I think it's PTSD. The thought though... *nods*
YAY IT'S THE BALL
#ChaseForBook9
Wait...
Derek knows to post the Requiem Ball Post, right??
Yes I made sure, Jubi
But it doesn't start until midnight oz time
AWESOMESOCKS :)
((Alex..?))
That was... Anticlimactic...
*walks next to a deceased dinosaur, gently petting it's face* That.... That was terrible...
*feels awful for the dinosaur*
I'm sorry..
BOOM
idk man I just can't wait
#ChaseForBook9
*glances up, smiling* Mara that's so pretty! Oh you look gorgeous. Harry will be knocked off his feet
*blushes* Thanks, Adra. I think he has something picked out too... Hopefully. *nods*
We were meant to be asleep like three hours ago whoops
#ChaseForBook9
Gtg, see you tomorrow (:
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* Night lovely!
*glances back at the dinosaur, closing her eyes* Dammit.
*wanders towards the pond again*
Um.
Hello, ghost
*watches patiently*
I'd hurry up. There's a dinosaur killer running amok. And he isn't very nice
I know...
All of them. Gone.
Even the younglings
*lays in grass by trehouse* aaah
That's one word for it.
Hi Fabi....*sighs happily feeling Olivia crawl over and lay her head on me* hey little one
Like what?
I can't bring them back to life. *winces* They're just.. Dead
I can bring things back so long as you guys carry me ill faint
Zaf, aren't you... Billions of years in the future?
There's a difference between one animal and hundreds. This was a stampede, Zaf.
Its possible i could do it if you want me to and i can get there
No way... *shakes her head* No.. Please, don't alter yourself any more
If you rather...I'm fine though I just...
No... It might have been... Made this way. We don't know
Okay right *lays in grass still*
Thank you..
*walks around, picking random leaves and berries*
*hums Hungry like the Wolf*
*as well*
FABI... PLEASE SHORTEN YOUR NAME.
IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR THOSE ON AN IPHONE OR IPOD OR WHATEVER. ANY PHONE.
So what first name suits the last name Ricochet?
Oh shit. Sorry I just yelled at you Fabi... Now I feel like an asshole.
Well I've given suggestions about eighty times and you just killed a ton of dinosaurs so... My lips are sealed
Is Ed ever gonna come back and help us to get out of here...??
I have no idea, Jubi.
*Sigh*
Why not just do a single name thing? *shrugs*
*wanders around* *whines* Where's Dorothyyyy when you need the special shoes
I feel safein the future
For now Momma!
And he disappears for another two hours. Woohoo.
*and there was no rejoicing*
*meh*
*sits by the pond, picking up a tiny furry animal* hi there! *pokes it's nose, giggling* you're pretty cute. Okay you're worthy of my attention and love. *huggles*
IT'S A TRIBBLE!!!!
*skips around playing with Coco bear*
-teleports in-
*bops it's little nose* I'll call you Kadri.
*waves* Hello, Kadri
Oh hey. Hi. *hides Kadri*
-sees the animal that Adra is playing with-
I hunt those ones, I believe.
Um, this is the dinosaur age... How?
-teleports up to my treehouse, and then teleports out with that giant sack of diamonds and gold and stuff that I found ages ago that is sealed in titanium-
-pours it's contents out, and searches through-
Fuck... I can't find it.
I swear I-
Oh. -leans in and picks up a glowing red gemstone, and hides it in my coat pocket-
There we go. -puts the contents back in-
Zaf, Alexis can dress herself up. There's some pearls and diamond earrings and stuff. -leaves the bag in front of her-
Impressive. Your point?
-looks over at Adra-
What do you mean?
Zaf... I'd be careful with that.
*lets Kadri scurry far away to safety*
Kadri: ouiiiiiii
Ahem. I meant what the hell was that?
OHHH SHIET!
We need a key for the Requiem.
I vote ducks. Ducks are cool.
I went mining in Africa last week to find a mysterious gem that was causing people to die, and some people to disappear, and some to just disintegrate.
I usually just walk in...
I think. I don't remember
Oh? Is that all? Because, well, I'm curious now...
Along with a lot of other treasure, which I don't need. The gem is priceless, although I have no intention of selling it.
"Is that all?"
Adra, you funny.
Alex I don't trust you enough to actually, touch those.
I wasn't intending to be funny. Actually, I'm far from funny. *stands up, glaring at him* You just killed a load of innocent animals
A man's gotta eat, right, Adra?
-smiles-
Zaf, they are perfectly harmless. Is there anything I must do to prove that?
You disgust me, I hope you know that. *takes a bite of an apple*
More than Gauntlet?
*puts one on myself* if it kills me then we know its harmful
Perhaps. Perhaps not. *takes another bite* The world may never know
Whatever.
-walks into the forest-
Ohh Kadri!
No- *chases after him* You leave him alone!
Or her.
I don't know.
*puts the necklace on Alexis*
You won't catch up to me, Adra. I was born a natural assassin and freerunner.
-keep running until I find Kadri, and teleports into my treehouse-
-seals the entire treehouse in an unbreakable magic-proof earth metal stronger than titanium-
Alex can I kill you?
You can try?
Why?
For chrissakes WHY, Chrome.
*sulks, closing her eyes, attempting to reach through the bond to locate him*
WHY WOULD YOU HURT THE TRIBBLE?!?!
Tribble?
...who said I'm hurting it?
It's from Star Trek....
They're these adorable little puff balls of happiness. :3
I really rather you dead, Alex *hugs Alexis tighter*
Then bring it back!
Well, I don't think that Rose or Judhipor would be very happy about that.
Why the hell-
What does Rose have anything to do with my Kadri?
-comes out of the house with Kadri wearing a little bow tie-
Stupid idiot.
And do I care? No. *goes quiet and then sounds more relaxed* Sorry I wont kill you...sorry for my outvurst
You kidnapped the Tribble just to put a bow tie on it?
But what did I do for you to want to kill me?
What. The. Hell
You...Gauntlet...Alexis....*shakes head* I cant think
Javier: Zafira calm down
I did none of that.
Gauntlet did.
And yet here I am, still in your head, you still in mine.
And I still don't understand why
The cover of LSODM is so upsetting to look at.
Yeah Alex really...
It is indeed...
I've never been so scared to read a book in my entire life...
It's gonna end on some evil cliff hanger and then we're all gonna have to wait another YEAR....
grrrrrr
Argh. *pinches the bridge of her nose* Fine then. Don't answer me.
*sits under a tree, meditating*
JUBI. Trust me, it's the worst fucking cliffhanger you'll ever come across.
Kenny....
Edgley...
I'm going to hell.
Jeez thanks Alex....
THAT MAKES ME FEEL SOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!
Fucking hell.
I'm leaving before you ruin the hell out of this shit.
*falls asleep underneath the tree, feet in the pond water*
MOUSTACHE TIMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*pulls out my blue SHARPIE (Which means it's PERMANENT)*
((And by that I mean that I am really careful with spoilers and it doesn't help that people keep telling me them, especially about me. So... Yeah))
Fuck. *falls asleep again, a baby dinosaur coming over and flopping next to her*
*Tip toes over to Adra and kneels down*
*Carefully begins drawing the curl of a moustache*
*Grins evilly*
I'm not sure whether or not to believe you....
Good i hear i dont die ALEX I AM SO REPORTING YOU TO DEREK ON SPOILING *goes to sleep*
(Night i got to sleep before ALEX tells me the bloody plot)
*punches Jubi* Bugger off.
*peels away masking tape which got the mustache*
*runs off somewhere else*
OH MY FUCKING GOD.
IT WAS A JOKE.
CALM DOWN.
I HAVENT EVEN FINISHED THE SECOND CHAPTER OF THE BOOK, FOR FUCKS SAKE!
Sorry...
Imma have to agree with Fabio...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *throws ded up into the air*
It's too late for me to think up a dedication at the moment....
*chuckles*
*actually leaves now*
*Rubs nose* No need to get VIOLENT about it, Adra... *Pouts*
It's okay, Alex. I know you were joking.
The second time, that is.
I'm sure I die anyway, soooooo
*nods*
Anyway I honestly must go- I have horseback in be morning.
Night!
