Especially when the subject matter is Elite: Dangerous based?
If so, I want to turn your attention to our community's work.
1) Every week in the Fan Creation forum, we have a Drabble competition. Anyone can enter. Write 100 words based in the Elite universe and using that week's theme. We had 14 entries this week with "Death/Beef" as the theme (it was a roundabout way to get one of our mods, Psykokow, killed off in various ways.)
The stories are then put into a poll, and lately Psykokow has been providing us with an Audio version: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=35155
Sometime Monday we'll have the next theme, which will be posted in our main thread, and people can write and enter their drabbles here: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5777
2) The Thargoid and Fer-de-Lance thread is a great read where the role-playing community has been writing stories about their characters and interacting with each other. If you like to RP, be sure to check it out: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4577
3) Our very talented fiction writers who got to write and publish their work based in the Elite: Dangerous universe have their own forum. I'm finishing up the last book myself and have enjoyed reading them. My personal favorites were Drew Wagar's "Reclamation", Allen Stroud's, "Lave Revolution", and Kate Russell's "Mostly Harmless". So hit up the forum and learn more here: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=45
After all, if you don't have your flight stick (or M/KB) in hand, piloting your ship, you might as well enjoy the rest of what we have to offer!
