Spoiler Alert! Contest Results

Twenty-nine entered, but only three will win free copies of Return to Labyrinth volume 3! It was a lot of fun reading through the entries, but picking just three was pretty nerve-wracking. In the end, I just had to go with the three that made me smile tonight (with a little help from the fiancee for tie-breaking). So without further ado…

The winners are:

SKUB is revealed to be the true heir to the labyrinth, he is Jareths long lost brother, and in actually fact the one Sarah falls in love with..ya know what they say Once you go Goblin you never go back! XD Good luck competing with that Jareth ^.^ – Kerri

I must have missed the scene where Sarah actually met Skub in the movie… Oh wait! It must be in one of those “flashbacks” in volume 3. That lazy author sure likes his flashbacks! Anyway… go Skub!

When Jareth and Sarah first talk they get into it and he french kisses her but…. he gives her herpes causing a massive diplomatic incident. She sues him for a huge sum of money and has Marcia Clark represent her. She becomes independently wealthy. She keeps wearing the ugly glasses. – Clare

This one wins the slightly-uncomfortable laughter award. Herpes is always funny, because the truth is girls, most of us get it. :P

Mizumi is actually an avatar for Moppet, who is really Sarah’s actress mother! She was so mad that Jareth left her for her daughter, that she found a spell that turned herself younger and plotted revenge against Jareth and Sarah for thirteen years.- Ashley

This is one of the rare non-joke entires, but I really like the dramatic possibilities here. This is a spoiler I could get behind!

And now, the runners up, in no particular order. And as a consolation prize, everybody gets FREE SASS!

The “Ello” worm and his mafia march in protest to the castle beyond the goblin city. Ever since Sarah’s first foray into the Labyrinth, they are considered to be notoriously abysmal with directions (“Don’t go that way!”) and they detest that stereotype. Naturally, pandemonium ensues, culminating in a Bollywood dance. -Gabrielle

Pandemonium! It’s one of my sixteen favorite words. And bonus points for bringing back the worm. A near miss from top three.

Jareth reveals to Sarah on her doorstep that the Labyrinth lies in a different space time continuum and that he is really Toby from the far future. After ensuring ‘Toby’, his past self, continues the fated cycle, he was free to return home.-Alyssa

As a boy, I’m a sucker for anything involving space-time continuums, so this one almost made the top three. I could almost see this spoiler being real!

Jakes Forbes is Jareth! Chris Lie is actually Hoggle, who is forced to illustrate Jareth’s story, or else be thrown into the bog. Toby is actually the son of Sarah and Jareth, but Sarah and Toby’s memories had been erased by Mizumi, and Jareth’s trying to get them both back! – Sierra

Flattery will get you far, Sierra, but this time, it’s just a runner up slot, I’m afraid.

Jareth loses his job at Taco Bell by “Glittering” all over the food. He lands in an asylum but is rescued by Sarah and Ludo. He realizes his true feelings for Ludo, the two of them settle down and through the magic of plot holes raise many hairy children. – Erica S.

Wait, is Ludo is a girl? Talk about spoilers! It was between this and the Herpes one for the out-there vote, but in the end, I guess Herpes > Taco Bell.

Jareth is a Martian named Ziggy. Sarah is really a strange purple furred werewolf. She was bitten months ago and has been subduing her wolfish instincts with Wolfsbane tea (now missing from her cupboard). Ziggy takes the purple werewolf back with him to Mars. They live happily ever after. Zorgophalts! – JTheGoblinKing

Ground control to J! Wouldn’t the spiders eat the werewolf once they got to Mars? Major logic hole. :P

Sarah is actually a duplicate of Moppet created by Mizumi as part of her plan to take over Jareth’s kingdom. It turns out that Jareth had abandoned Mizumi for Moppet. When she found out she erased Moppet’s memory, banished her to the rubbish heaps, and created Sarah. – Heather A.

My head’s still spinning a little bit, but this almost sounds like it could be real!

“Toby still wears diapers.” – Kristi O.

This one almost won the brevity award, but we know it simply can’t be true as there’s no way Toby could wear diapers under a pair of Jareth’s hand-me-down pants. :P

“Sarah, Moulin, and Drumlin were, once, the beautiful triplet fate sisters. They were tricked and cursed by Jareth long ago, when he tried tampering with their tapestries. Escaping with collateral to protect her, Sarah stole Jareth’s son and brought him into the mortal world. Toby is Jareth’s hidden son, renamed.”- Aiijuin

Thanks, Aiijuin, for classing up this joint with some mythology. I like it! :)

Toby is actually a goblin because Jareth didn’t return him, but instead gave Sarah Skub in Toby’s body and placed Toby in Skub! – Lisa S.

I like this one as it seems like something that actually could happen. In fact, maybe this spoiler isn’t such a joke after all… dun dun DUN!!! But it is.

Jareth runs into his doppelganger, David Bowie. They have a modeling/ sexiness contest (such as in Zoolander), but Hoggle appears to win it all (what an under-goblin story)! A one-eyed midget reporter witnesses the event, and goes on to report the Underground to the stunned citizens of the real-world. – Adella

I like where you’re going, Adella, but it’s not a spoiler unless you tell us who wins the contest!

Toby admits he loves Moppet only to discover that she was created by Mizumi as revenge on Jareth. Upset, he runs to Hana who morphs into that creepy guy from the Toby museum and it’s all revealed that he masterminded everything because he wanted to use Toby in his exhibit. – Shannon B.

A twist I didn’t see coming, but c’mon, “morphing” is so 1993. :P

I was shocked to find that Moppet is the daughter of Hoggle and Mizumi! Was Mizumi so depressed by Jareth’s rejection that she turned to the Prince of the Land of Stench ? As if her life was Spittledrum’s maid didn’t suck enough. Hoggle and Mizumi ? That’s just nasty.- Princess Hamster

Dear, Princess Hamster. There is still one more volume to go. You jest, but the Hoggle x Mizumi pairing could still be worked in!

It would be … That the 2 lizard like goblins at the end of Vol. 2 are King Jareths parents!!! *Dun dun dun dddduuuuunnnn!* – Becky L.

That would be quite a spoiler! Will we find out about Jareth’s origins in the next volume? I guess you’ll just have to wait to find out. :P

Jareth and Madonna have a secret (albeit famous) love child: Big Bird. He has his mother’s eyes and his father’s voi-I mean height. -Mollie

Another out-there award contentder. I hope that one day I might have a secret (albiet famous) baby. Clever girl!

None of this is really happening, it’s all just a dream from a goblin chicken. – Rachel

No, no, Rachel — that’s a spoiler for Volume FOUR! Save that entry for next time. :)

Irene’s his real mom and Jareth’s the father. – Elissa

By “his,” I assume you mean Jesus? You need to capitalize that pronoun!

Mizumi is Sarah’s mother! Jareth then started hitting on Sarah, causing Mizumi to get jealous. Moulin and Drumlin are Sarah’s half sisters, their father is Esker. Esker is Sarah’s step-father. Mizumi tried to get rid of Sarah, but instead, caused her to split in two. So she has to wear a mask because if Jareth saw her face, he would flip out. – Andi

Andi, you pretty much wrote my pitch for Return to Labyrinth the daytime soap!

Toby is the biological son of Jareth. – GoblinPrinceToby

Sorry, GPT, but I was watching Maury the other day and he begs to differ.

It is revealed, to everyone’s shock, that Hoggle is actually the Goblin King Jareth and “Jareth” is a little troll trying to look pretty to get a girl. – Kelly M.

But Jareth is a troll! Don’t tell me anyone actually finds him attractive?!

Toby’s Jareth’s son! Switched at birth for Sarah’s sister, Moppet after Moldywarts – Mizumi’s ex – murdered Higwig (an owl), real mother of Toby (“The Brat Who Lived). Toby melts Moldywarts with a bucket of water, but only after Mizumi traps Sarah on the Titanic (Jareth sings “My Hair Will Go On”). – K. Walch

See previous Maury comment. I would like to see the music video of this one, though.

The explanation of Moppet’s resemblance to Sarah was most astounding. Jareth developed an obsession with Sarah (and subsequently created Moppet) because she was a link to his true love: Sarah’s stepmother. We are left with the sense that Toby was taken to the underground only to lure Mrs. Williams. – Lyra R

Sarah’s stepmother did have fabulous hair…

Shockingly, Moppet is revealed as a re-incarnation of Sarah. Jareth, crushed by the discovery Sarah wears glasses, challenges Toby to a duel to determine who wins the more aesthetically-pleasing-Moppet’s hand. It’s a close thing, but Toby flees screaming after realizing he is effectively fighting to marry his sister. – Rachael

Are the glasses that bad? :( Don’t worry — there is plenty of non-glasses Sarah in vol. 3.

Alright Moppet is really Sarah’s and Jareth’s daughter how can this be? Well that bubble realm was more than a distraction and when Sarah popped out so did baby Moppet. This is why she looks like Sarah but with Blonde hair she got it from Jareth. – Samantha

Another spoiler that sorta makes sense! Wait a second… did you hack into my e-mail and read the script?

Jareth is in fact the half-brother of Spittledum, the original King, but somehow Jareth got to be king instead. Spittledum wants revenge by blackmailing Jareth with crotch pictures. Jareth makes Skub eat Poprocks and coke, which makes him explode, making room for the new Cook named ‘Sk’… and DUMBELDORE DIES! – Little Kaori

Crotchal blackmail and goblin half-brothers! But you know, Kaori, the whole pop rocks thing is just an urban legend… or is it?

The Wicked Witch of the East never died- she turned into water after being squished by the house and ran away from Oz to the Underground, and changed her name to Mizumi. She secretly is plotting revenge on Dorothy, because she stole her shoes, which cost her $300 at Macy’s. – Kendra

An Oz/Labyrinth crossover? I’d pay to see that!

Linda fell in love with Jareth; however, she cheated on him with Sarah’s father. The son they had together was wished away into Jareth’s custody. The babe was turned into a goblin. *HINT: It’s Ludo, Hoggle, or Sir Didymus!* Linda had also been pregnant with Jareth’s second child…a girl. – Jenny B.

If Hoggle is Sarah’s brother, and Moulin is Hoggle and Mizumi’s kid, then that means Toby is Moulin’s uncle?

Thanks so much for entering, everyone! I wish I could send copies to everyone. And please don’t mind my late-night sass.

    Thank you soo much again!!!
    And well done to the other winners ^.^

  3. [...] Gobblin.net, Jake Forbes has the results of his Return to Labyrinth fake spoiler [...]

  4. Kristi O. says:

    LOL, I love how mine is the shortest. Usually it’s the opposite for me, where I just blather on and on…

    And I gotta say some of these are pretty interesting! I figured they’d all be really off the wall, but some of them seem like they could actually happen.

    Regardless, I’d love to see more ‘Jareth Crotch’ sketches! We should get a series going!

  5. Elissa says:

    *anime tears* Thank you… I love you… I’m so glad mine was posted…! . . . Right, moving on. You know, I got the idea of Toby being Jareth’s kid with Irene from the fact that in the movie, the sexy ruler himself (yes, go ahead and create your own puns on “ruler”) actually SAYS, “I think I’ll call him ‘Jareth,’ he’s got my eyes.” Right????!!!! I actually had an RP going with a friend, and that was the plot–that Toby is Jareth’s son. I’d like to send you the plot summary when I can pull up the resource more easily, by which I mean retrieving my baby computer from Jareth the Virus King. (This in itself is hilarious, because my computer became infected by the April Fool’s worm RIGHT after I found the complete text to the actual NOVEL by A. C. H. Smith and bookmarked it. *sweatdrop*) Looking forward to RtL 3 gracing the shelves this May! Thank you so much once again for the honorable mention! I’ll send the summary to your private email when I have it available! ^_^ Keep up the good work!

  6. Andi says:

    I was kind of influenced by Dark Shadows for that one! Oh, the drama and intrigue there! ;)

    Excellent choices for the winners! The herpes was amazing because, well, for one that watches South Park – AIDS makes me laugh. And so does Herpes. O_o

  7. Aiijuin says:

    Congratulations to the winners! I must admit, everyone’s entries were great, and Jake’s comments after each one added a unique and hilarious touch! I agree, Jake! Excellent choice on the winners! :D

  8. A Goblin Babe says:

    Jake, the winner of the modeling/sexiness contest (Adella’s post) was Hoggle (hence the “under-goblin story”).
    Cool stories, everyone!!

  9. Kendra says:

    Congrats, everyone! Good job!

  10. Maggie says:

    Hahaa! omg these are so funny! I’m kinda sad I didn’t enter, but I’m swamped with homework. Congrats to all you winners! Please don’t say anything about Volume 3 on here until after it comes out for all of us… hehe herpes… classic. ^_^

  11. Chimo says:

    Hoggle x Mizumi ?! My idea might be worked in ?! *_* Big huzzahs for those who won! ^_^ Jake, thanks again for the contest! You rock!

  12. Mollie says:

    Wow, Labyrinth characters are such players, they have children left and right o.o Congrats to all the winners, you guys definitely deserved it! And thanks Jake for posting those who didn’t win too, I had a blast reading them all and your comments :D

  13. Ginger says:

    I wish I had entered the contest, but it was closed before I could think of anything good. So congradulations to the winners! Maybe I’ll be able to enter the volume four contest.
    There will be a volume four contest, right Jake? *pokes Jake*

    Although there is something thats bothering me. In your last snarky comment, you didn’t mention Drumlin. You only mentioned that Moulin and Toby would be related. Toby and Moulin… are you maybe hinting at something, Jake? *pokes Jake harder*

    And one more thing: What is up with all the hatred for Sarah’s glasses? As someone who wears glasses, I’m a little offended.

  14. Kendra says:

    I wear glasses too, Ginger, but I also hate Sarah’s glasses. I think it’s just because they don’t look good on her and kinda added to the fact that she looks like a boy when her hair is pulled back. She just doesn’t look like Sarah anymore. However, I am aware that this is only because Chris Lee (God bless him) was new to drawing manga at the time. Maybe we’ll see her in her glasses at some other time, and we’ll be able to appreciate it a little more thanks to Mr. Lee’s improved skill.

  15. Mollie says:

    In volume 2 they show her with glasses again, when she’s being compared to Moppet, and I really liked that picture. She looks much more attractive in them than volume 1 (in which I did actually think she was a boy until I read that she was Sarah–no offense, Chris Lie, you are an awesome artist!) Anyways, glasses are a sign of maturity and change for Sarah, that she’s gained some intellect and grown up to make something of herself.

    And I’m sure volume 3 will blow the first two out of the water, both in story and in art =)

  16. Mandy says:

    The Spiders are all vegan, man. Don’t you know anything about Spiders from Mars. :P

  17. Mandy says:

    Andi, I LOVE Dark Shadows. They’re doing a new Dark Shadows movie to be directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp but it won’t be out until 2011.

  18. Samantha says:

    I’m so glad mine made it up here. And no I didn’t hack into your e-mail dispite my many fail attempts in order to find out what will acutally with Sarah and Jareth after that horribly wonderful cliffhanger. I acutally just spent a lunch period spazzing with my friend to come up with it but I guess we should have spent two to win or stayed up all night and ate 10pounds of candy.

  19. Goblin Prince says:

    haha I loved all of what everyone sent. So cool. :D Haha Maury hey what could I say. It was still an idea ;) :-P Have a great weekend everyone and happy easter to all.

  20. Maggie says:

    I wear glasses to for near-sightedness, and I would hate to wear contacts. But maybe Sarah has some contacts she can wear…
    Well, it looks like we have a month left until the people (including myself) who did not win the contest can get volume 3!!!

  21. [...] Gobblin.net, Jake Forbes has the results of his Return to Labyrinth fake spoiler [...]

  22. Julie says:

    In response to Samantha. You really should have had me come over and force me to stay up until two in the morning with copious amounts of sugar. I loved how you watered down the lunchtime conversation for this forum, however I feel we could have gone farther with that bubble. I think the bubble had potential. But I’m soooo proud of my Sammykins!!! She was accused of hacking. XD Way to get into the author’s mind! I loved all the other entries by the way, some of these were just to priceless.

  23. Jay says:

    my brother, hunter, and I have had the same idea as Sam for a while. come on jake, can you right that in somewhere during volume 4???

    PLEASE?!??!?!?!

    it would be so awesome!!!!! (you know, because then the most logical follow through after Sarah finds out is that she slaps him and gets really, really pissed, then eventually falls for him and becomes queen of the labyrinth at the end :-) )
