I notified the Elite Dangerous Community group on Facebook (if you're registered have a look, it's quite cool bunch of Commanders!).
I count only 18 drabbles Erik. I did have to have three goes to get to that number mind you 
Me!
psykokow, would you like to make it clear which Drabble you want for the contest? I don't want to appear egotistical but the rule is that the last Drabble is the one that goes in... the one that I star in

Some assembly required
Eric was giddy as he signed the receipt.
"Where can I pick it up?"
"No need, Mr Marcaigh. I've got the trucks waiting just around the corner."
"Trucks??"
"Sure! You did notice that it's a DIY project right? No? Well, don't worry. There are easy step by step instructions in the first box. Man, I'm so envious of you!"
Eric fretted about as truck after truck unloaded its contents.
"Mr Marcaigh!"
Eric cringed at the booming voice of his landlord.
"I hear that this is your stuff. Get this rubble off the street RIGHT NOW, you hear me?"
Eric wept.

Bleke... the theme was SpaceSHIPS not SpaceBITS!
Name a Drabbler in your Drabble = Guaranteed Vote.
As if trying to pick out three of 10-12 is hard, now with all these great entries I may just use the shotgun method.
That's when I put everyone's name on separate index cards, attach them to my fence, stand 10 yards away with my back to them and fire the shotgun blindly behind me. Those three who receive the most damage get votes. The one with the most damage to the card and fence will get the repair bill for the fence too.

Were you in other drabbles too? I haven't had time to read them yet.
I browsed the usernames that were on the page when I was about to start writing. Some, like Warskull didn't fit in well. Frank has been used in many drabbles already and I'd have to make up a last name. I think I've used Galactic Midden in a drabble already, and I'd have to make up a first name.
So using your name was really more laziness on my part rather than fishing for a vote, so feel free to vote for other drabbles — unless you think that mine is one of the top three!

No more entries now.. the poll is up
The guaranteed vote method is great for us who are featured in Drabbles. It means we have one less choice to make
The rest of you will have to figure out for which ones to vote, using the hard way
this way to the voting booth
Psykokow, if you want to change your Drabble I guess you have the tools to do it. But I'm sure with me as one of the stars of the story you'll garner lots and lots of votes.

Rules is rules Frank!! I would never use my mod powers to advantage myself *cough* lol.
Will be a lot of fun reading this lot out tonight. 7pm http://twitch.tv/Psykokow if you'd like to joins us, also you can be part of the reading if you'd like on teamspeak. Laveradio.teamspeak3.com. Or if you want to join me on Skype add gorjussart to your Skype contacts and message me.
I try for a sharp 7pm kickoff to avoid clashing with Kerrashes stream at 8pm.
The more the merrier...
Still need to adjust the backing music down again, it's just too loud

Live drabble reading now on www.twitch.tv/psykokow
It's a shame I wasn't around on Friday for the live reading, but I have to say... what a professional job by Space Kat!
This is the first opportunity I've had to listen to all the Drabbles. The choice is going to be hard this week. I guess it's the laws of averages.. the more stories entered the more likely for some real corkers to be there. It's easier to rep someone than to vote for them. Reps can be handed out like sweeties at a birthday party. There are only three votes to cast. I shall need to deliberate.
