That sucks that I missed the deadline for the Arc Contest! Right after the production wound up, I went to Canada and Christmas happened!

I'll continue with my evil evil plans though :) I look forward to seeing who the winners will be!

When is the podcast? Would we be able to listen to it should anyone miss out on the live feed?

Yes, it looks like they get archived:

Oh, yay! You're doing one of the blogtalk things! Those are always so fun!

Also...meep to the almost being done with the judging! That's some super speed judging right there...you must have used your judging rune. ;)

Maybe she had help from Madame Dorothea's crystal ball so she could see who was supposed to win before the entries came in.

Kind of like playing rock, paper, scissors against Alice.

Which poses a question.

Who would you rather have read your tea leaves do: Trelawny or Dorothea?

Maybe they could tell us which lightwood is gonna die! *grins and waves the death to max life for alec sign*

Oh goodness... For death predictions, I'd choose possessed!Trelawny, but normal!Trelawny sees death in EVERYONE'S future, so if we said "Is Alec going to die?" she'd probably give us twenty ways in which he would meet doom.

Dorothea, though, did get her predictions right... So... I pick Madame Dorothea.

im think its alec =(

*covers her ears and hums*

I'm in denial that Alec is even a possibility. I choose to obstinately hold to the belief that Max will die until proven wrong by reading the book. ^_^

yeah but there's always that instance where Trelawny delivers a really real prediction, like the one about harry/neville/voldy that she gave to dumbledore when he was hiring her and the one she gave to harry about wormtail in PoA.
and Madame Dorothea is kinda currently out of commission...
i just wish one of them could predict for me what my friends got me for my birthday (i turned 18 yesterday)! they were all bragging about what awesome gifts they got me..

anyway, we could just debate the question that dear Cassie brought us - Magnus Bane vs Dumbledore...?

Heh... That's why I said I'd choose possessed!Trelawny. She was in that weird possessed stage when she said the prophecy.

As for Magnus v. Dumbledore, I'd totally pick Magnus. He's definitely ten times cooler than Dumbledore and, as of yet, hasn't used everyone in order to fulfill some self-righteous deed.

Magnus. Clearly Magnus. I prefer my awesome magic users with a heaping side of sarcasm. And glitter. ;)

Well for Dumbledore's sake I'll say that he is pretty awesome for his robes and spectacles (and I like his cheery personality too), but sarcasm is something I hold very near and dear to my heart..

xjustadoreher (ashley, right?), I love your icon. Very fitting ;-D

Hehehe... Yup, I'm Ashley.

And yes, sarcasm is definitely something to hold near and dear to the heart.

As is glitter.

And fabulousness in general.

Though, to be fair, Dumbledore was pretty cool.

I'm actually done judging now. I just have to construct the monster blog entry that has the winners.

Oh goodness.. That's awesome ^.^

Exactly how long does it take to write a monster blog entry? Should I keep checking every hour or just wait till tomorrow? Or just leave you alone so you can keep working on it?

It will be tomorrow.

I was just wondering. Tomorrow as in December 29 or December 30?

*sigh* As in today, but I was waiting for livejournal to come back online.

I cannot wait for this Monster Blog to be posted! Will be checking *at least* every 5 minutes after I wake up tommorow! So excited!

Oh, that sounds exciting! I'm a big fan of podcasts.
Question: This call-in number doesn't apply everywhere, does it?

I'll create a list of questions to ask and post them soon!

p.s - I can't wait to see what the winning entries are!

Yay for the podcast! I'm excited- something to look foreward to after school starts back :) And wow for the judging! I (I admit, obsessively) checked out almost all of the entries and they were all reallly good. Can't wait to see the results!
*Shanley*

I think the call-in number is just if you're in North America.

Man, that was some seriously fast judging.
I can't wait to find out who the winners are :)

Arg, City of Glass seems like such a long way away. I cannot wait until March!!!!!

Haha, I think Alice is slightly more reliable than Madame Dorethea's dodgy crystal balls. Nice referencing there.

I think my parents are almost ready to unplug the computers. I excessivly cheaked this website all day.
I can't wait to find out who the winners are I entered and now I'm like on the verge of like exploding.Kudos on the extremly fast judging.
I love the idea of the podcast that is gonna be sweet!

Wow Cassie, you got through those entries in record timing, Thanks! Now the suspense is on to see who wins! :]

Please, please, PLEASE!!! post the winners early tomorrow!!!!!!

I wish I could have entered. But creativity is not my thing :(

That sounds like an awesome podcast - I'll have to finish my copy of Need before then (serendipitously bought yesterday).

Oh my Cassandra I am so excited for the contest!!!!!! I can absolutly not wait I love you!!!!

i hope you enjoy all the entries! i had a look at some of them and thy all look excellent!




man im nervous about the results =)

aahhhhhhhhhhhh! im so nervous! hope i win.....

how much longer until we know the results for the arc contest!!!!!!!!I cant wait any longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree :D the anticapation is exciting

I've been on this webpage all day!I do believe I'm going crazy with the wait. I love your books so much! The wait is killing me!!!!
In a fight Dumbledor would so outlast Magnus but I do love the Glitter in Magnus Dumbledor has the professor look (DUH!!!!) but Magnus has that very glittery look about him.
Now let me return to waiting in agony. =

~is completely off-topic~

would you be interested in doing an interview or guest blog?

http://fivestarreading.blogspot.com/

I don't guest blog because I hate blogging, but I can answer some questions if you send them to me; I'll try to get them back in a timely way though it can take a while.

i am very much speachless, for these books were writen absolutly great. I have read these books over and over, and Jace is a total hunk. His pure heart, courage, and love for everybody around him is amazing. He was writen wit h pure substance, and it would be wonderful to meet somebody like him in the future. Clara is so full of life, love, and passion that she makes me feel like she is somebody that most people would look up to. Simon is very caring, and an amazing friend. I actually have a best friend that is a mirror image of him, and i love him to death.

Having nothing bad to say about these books is breathtaking, because they were filled with such everyday things, tied in with things that are magical makes the books even more attractive. Miss.Clare you did an absolutly breath taking job. I thank you for these wonderful books!!

Love:
Taaylor, Bar River

Thanks!

p.s
repliy soon

i am 11 and started 1 week ago i think their all great
i am on the 2 bokk and almost done with it its great.

hi there, i'm katie, and i have just finished reading the mortal instruments, i absolutely LOVED them!!!! if they do get turned into a movie, i suggest songs that will DEFINATELY go with them , from Muse, listen to them, and tell me what you think, they're called: uprising, and undisclosed desires!!! they will match them very well, heres a preview of undisclosed desirees:
by the way, anything in "CAPS LOCK" means that it suits the books best.
"I WANT TO RECONCILE THE VIOLENCE IN YOUR HEART" -clary to jace
"i WANT TO RECOGNISE YOUR BEAUTY'S NOT JUST A MASK"
"I WANT TO EXERCISE THE DEMONS FROM YOUR PAST" Clary to Jace, but also Jace to Clary.
"I WANT TO SATISFY THE UNDISCLOSED DESIRES IN YOUR HEART."

and uprising:
"Paranoia is in bloom, the PR transmission will resume, they'll try to push drugs, keep us all dumbed down and hope that: WE WILL NEVER SEE THE TRUTH AROUND!."
"with all the green belts wrapped around our mind. and endless red tape TO KEEP THE TRUTH CONFINED."
"THEY WILL NOT FORCE US" -talking about the clave not controlling.
"THEY WILL STOP DEGRADING US"....
"THEY WILL NOT CONTROL US"....
"WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS"...
"INTERCHANGING MIND CONTROL, COME LET THE REVOLUTION TAKE ITS TOLL, IF YOU COULD FLICK THE SWITCH AND OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE, YOU'D SEE THAT, WE SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID TO DIE."
"RISE UP AND TAKE THE POWER BACK, ITS TIME THAT, a fat cat had a heart attack, you know that, THEIR TIME IS COMING TO AN END"...THE CLaVE
"WE HAVE TO UNIFY AND WATCH OUR FLAG ASCEND".
"chorus"

thank you, i hope you liked them, please listen to them though! they are great, and every time i hear these, i think about city of bones, ashes, and glass!!!
i had dreams that i dyed my hair blazing red/orange and i played Clary, because i am short and i'm everything she is, exept i have brown hair, and i am thirteen!!! i was so hoping the movie would come out in a few years so i could at least "try" to portray Clary Fray.... by the way, i was a little worried about there being a movie, as, i don't think anyone will be able to pull of jace!!! but it looks pretty ok!

I love and ADORE the mortal instruments and i beleive you have a very AMAZING talent, thank you SOOOOO much for creating these books, i can't stop thinking about them, i cried at undesirable events while reading them, and i laughed at the most funniest parts!!! i haven't gone a SINGLE day, without thinking about them, i honestly do not know how my life would be without these books!! thank you in every language possible:
(Terima kasih, dankie, faleminderit, kiitos, merci, danke, grazie, paldies, ddiolch 'ch, Mulţumesc)

so thank you!!!!

p.s, PLEASE WILL YOU CARRY ON! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE CARRYING ON FROM SOME-ONE ELSES PERSPECTIVE, BUT PLEASE CARRY ON WITH THE LOVE OF jACE AND CLARY, AND I WANT TO SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT WITH ALEC AND MAGNUS, LUKE AND JOCELYN, AND WHO SIMON PICKS: ISABELLE OR MAIA!!! and if sebastian/jonathen, is still allive!!! there is so much i still want to know, it can't possibly end there,....please!!!!! i beg you, not just for me, but for everyone else who is a fan (and those who aren't fans, are seriously INSANE, and have something mentally wrong with them!!)

anyways i better leave you to all of your other fan mail, thank you, once again..
xXKatieXx

Katie,

I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about the books. I think you're confused, though, about the books that are coming next. There's a fourth TMi book, which is not "from someone else's perspective." There is also the Infernal Devices, which is a companion series, and is about different characters. I realize you sound like you are not interested in anything that isn't about Clary and Jace, but I hope you'll check it out, as the next TMI book will make more sense if you've started The Infernal Devices.
