Yeah, one was painted very well on the back of my eyes.... did anyone picture a fat ugly hairy moose of a girl? or did you all picture, slim, pert, good looking, smouldering out of dry ice? like this?

First episode of Firefly popped into my mind.

I always try to let the reader paint their own picture...

Mmm... Kelly le Brock...

Interesting that's 2 docking drabbles in a row up there round the top, clearly something close to people's hearts from the original Elite!

That's an excellent tactic Bikky. It would have won you my vote if I hadn't already spent them.

That's a fine pair of Drabbles you've presented us DaddyHoggy. I hope this means you'll become a regular contestant. Are you appearing in any of the new Elite books?

Thank-you.

I'd like to become a regular contributor - I've got a few other projects on the go but I'd hope to find time to write one drabble a week!

I've pledged to get a drabble in Selezen's Elite: Encounters (which I gave him some time ago).

I really wanted to get a story in the anthology but I was spread thin financially at the time and couldn't raise the funds before all the slots were taken.

If you don't mind Oolite fiction then there's my two novellas Lazarus and Snake Charming available inside Alien Items on Drew's site.

We need more voters!

You have until 22:00 today to register your choices (and will someone PLEASE vote for mine? )

It's been a while since I read "Alien Items". I'll have to dip into it again. My memory of it was pleasurable. Thanks for the stories.

It's been a while since I read "Alien Items".

There are a few good tales within Alien Items. My favourite is Local Midnight at the Vacuum Bar.

Sorry Ian, I've spent mine

15 voters and 43 votes cast??

Either the rules of mathematics have changed, or not everybody is using all their votes. Of course, I don't think it's a rule that a voter HAS to vote thrice - is it?:S

Everyone has three votes. No rule to say that you have to use all three.

No, but it would be nice if they donated their spare votes to those drabbles that haven't got any

 

[DaddyHoggy]

Well Done Gimi

A clear winner in the end.

Well done Gimi.

I'm very happy to have come Joint-Joint 2nd.

At least, in the end, we got more voters than participants.

Agree nice win Gimi, and DaddyHoggy not bad yourselves, eight votes for each drabble is pretty good!

 

[Musashi]

Congratulations Gimi! Looking forward to the next Drabble topic...

 

[G.T]

Congrats Gimi, very we'll done indeed. And beware the new drabbler!

 

[Frank]

Congratulations Gimi! Looking forward to the next Drabble topic...

I had a feeling I wasn't going to win when I read Gimi's Drabble, but I'm blown away with joint second considering who I'm sharing this joint with.

 

[Ian Phillips]

Second win in a row for Gimi!

And what will be this week's subject?
