Title: CONTEST: GUESS THE COVER!
Post by: Stef on May 23, 2012, 10:41:13 AM: Next week we will reveal the title and cover of our new fourth book that will come out this summer!

As a little teaser, we thought we might give you a little clip from the cover and let you all guess what the motif will be. And to make it a bit more interesting, we decided to turn this into one of our (by now) notorious contests!

You have one week to tell us what you think is on the cover, and the person whose description gets the closest to the actual cover motif wins!

Here's the teaser:

The prize will be absolutely unique this time, namely the #1 proof page that we got from our printer. It is literally the only one that exists!

Acceptable entries are descriptions or drawings! You can post your entry either right here, or on our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/groups/111395638897347 (http://www.facebook.com/groups/111395638897347))

DEADLINE for your entries is TUESDAY next week, May 29th 2012!

Here's what the prize looks like:

Post by: Rooster Cruiser on May 23, 2012, 03:00:44 PM: I don't have a clue what it will be, but I know the caption for this should be, 'Chuck! You know Chickens can't Fly!' Hehe. ::drinking::

Post by: Stef on May 23, 2012, 06:38:14 PM: By the way we will not give any clues like "dead wrong" or "yeah, close" so as to not influence you guys! I'd really like to, but we'll have to restrain ourselves...

Post by: The Sumsum on May 23, 2012, 08:24:09 PM: Looks like Julio is holding Chuck out of the otter, so he can fix the engine.
Title: Re: CONTEST: GUESS THE COVER!
Post by: Oddball on May 23, 2012, 08:42:00 PM: Julio holding Chuck back while he is trying to join the jumpers out of the Twottter? or Julio holding onto Chuck while he is trying to fix the horizontal stabilizer with some chewing gum on the Twotter?

Post by: Fabo on May 23, 2012, 08:44:20 PM: Chuck fixing things? Julio is not that stupid....

That would be a smart move, so Julio won't be the one hanging out of the plane, but they're still on the ground or this are some of the funniest colored clouds I've seen in my life ::rofl::

But my guess is that Chuck has his sunglasses or his scarf entangled on the elevator.

Post by: Stef on May 30, 2012, 12:42:14 PM: Hey everybody! Thanks to everone who participated in this contest! The reaction was a bit less than usual, but we still enjoyed watching you guys guess.

And the winner is...

This time we didn't have to decide by the roll of the die, but it still wasn't as easy as we thought. We have come to the conclusion that "Jupiter" has come closest to the actual motif with his guess "Julio holding Chuck out of the side door of the Roost Air Twin Otter in mid-air".

Congratulations, Jupiter, your unique print will be on it’s way soon!

The important question we have to answer now is: who is flying the plane? As Nobu moved to Rostair? Jason got his multi engine rating?

Title: Re: CONTEST: GUESS THE COVER!
Post by: Jupiter on June 05, 2012, 09:43:26 AM: Well, thanks everyone for the congratulations!
Although I apparently was closest, I didn't quite expect this "fly-fishing" experience :P
Keep up the good work Mike and Stef!

Good idea. We're planning on making the the book available on our website shortly before Oshkosh, but we could add the option to pre-order it before that... Will talk to Mike about it!
Title: Re: CONTEST: GUESS THE COVER!
Post by: Mike on June 05, 2012, 03:53:43 PM: the cover was hard to guess, we admit it!

what's different in this book is, that we have a whole story about an adventure Chuck and Julio go on together which won't be in magazines or online, stretching over several pages

but I don't wanna give away too much..... ;)

Also, for you hardcore fans, don't worry, Chuck is still working on his Corsair, and all your other favorite characters and stories will be in there as well!

and MAYBE, somebody will even say "Chuck, is that you?"

Post by: Oddball on June 06, 2012, 12:09:41 AM: Won't be Chicken Wings if there isn't somebody saying "Chuck is that you?" some where in the book. Congrats Jupiter.

Haha! Yes, that's pretty close! I hope the similarities end with the pilot! :)
