I hear Simoof has a slot for that. He prefers it to be filled out in triplicate, then handled in the usual Vogon way with various approvals, misplacements, and the such.

Sooo...
While the cat's away, does anyone fancy our own version of the Lave Con-test on the forums? 100 words, on "Lave", deadline ridiculously early am on Sunday in order to get the poll out in time for 12:00 Sunday?
Thoughts?

Oooh, "It happened at Lave Con"
I can work with that
One person other than me and Doc agrees with this mad plan and the drabble-in-exile contest is totally on.
You mean something like this?
'Travel Advice'
You're going to Lave? I guess you've got your reasons. Not that I'd recommend it. The place is a dump, just a hive of villainy and scum. Apart from the pirates, the only visitors are 'rares' traders and a few misguided romantic fools, giddy on tales of Lave's glory days.
Sure it used to be a galactic hotspot, if you believe the stories. The pilot academy, the tree grubs... it was the place to be. After the collapse of GalCop and the environmental disasters it fell into decline. Go there if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you

Lave Con(dition) Red
Commander V1p3r was chasing Commander Alien towards Lave Station "I have you now!"
The two of them had been in a battle of wits ever since V1p3r had interrupted a conversation and insulted Alien.
Commander Alien alerted the local authorities who didn't hesitate to put a wanted status on Commander V1p3r, the crime? Using numbers in a name, that was so 3280's
Alien hailed the station "Lave Station, Lave Condition red I repeat condition red I need emergency landing permission."
Commander V1p3r had hacked into Alien's comms "Commander Alien Shut The Frequency Up."
Alien shot through the letterbox at full speed just as docking permission was granted.
Commander V1p3r didn't make the letterbox.

Looking back at the twitch stream (I missed the first hour and a bit) you didn't do the Abraka Drabble that was planned?
My best chance of winning, with a 50% chance ... and you didn't do it [shakes fist]
To be fair, I'd still not win even if mine was the only drabble
FUN FACT: I once played myself at chess, and still lost ... 100% true.

So I'll kick off this week's Drabble competition!
Congrats to Alesgriff79!
My entry:
Tales From the Thargoid & Fer-de-Lance
Simon looked across the bar at the group listening to his tale.
"It was a grisly fate for the Commander turned Entrepreneur, Simoof."
"Tired of the short jump distances he was getting from his FdL, he started learning about the jump drives and how they worked. A bit lazy though, so he skipped a few classes, opting for binge drinking at the pub."
"He believed he got 6 extra lightyears in his drive."
"His last words were, 'My power is best!' Right before he flipped the switch and plasma scorched his skin off his bones. An' that's how Simoof died."

Congratulations Alesgriff79, It didn't surprise me that you won with that Drabble of yours. I've got the imaginary toilet paper crown for you to wear with pride. For some reason Galactic Midden refused to accept it.
The challenge we are setting you is to write a story in exactly 100 words. Not a word more. Not a word less.
Alesgriff79 won it last week and set us the topic of
'MY POWER IS BEST!'
The story should be set in the Elite Universe and the exact number of 100 words does not include the title. On Sunday the winner shall have the honour of choosing the next topic.
A good place to compose your story is recommended by Erik, http://www.wordcounter.net/
Entries to a poll will be limited to the first 20 Drabbles submitted, and the poll might go up earlier than Thurday night if all those slots are filled but don't let that stop you from showing us what you would have entered in the contest. Friday night the live readings occur http://twitch.tv/psykokow so don't miss it, all drabbles are read out... 7pm BST
Please remember that this is a family forum We want as many people as possible to feel comfortable on this thread. Don't write anything that you wouldn't want to read out in front of your family. Come on people! We can do it. The further we get away from Winnard's Hole, the more the sense of decorum is returning to this thread. The dreaded "Roman Dwarves" incident is but a fading memory.

Old Habits Die Hard
Ted paid Sven for the drinks. He took the pints over to an alcove table where Mick was sitting reading a dataslate. Mick was annoyed, "The Federation originated from Earth, Western Civilisation. The other factions came from there too if they'd care to admit it. Back then they explored new continents, fought the natives and stripped them of their resources.
We've come to outer space, limitless resources but we've found it empty. There are no natives to fight. So what do we do?", He showed Ted the Galnet article displaying the top ten most powerful people, "We fight each other."

My Power (Slam) Is Best
The Thargoid and Fer-de-lance bar was hosting the Galactic Grappling Entertainment Championship match between Berk Loser and Soup Rollings.
Both men had been fighting for six days now and it had come down to who could throw each other the best.
Mycoid Coal, the commentator, was going apoplectic trying to hype the watching viewers.
Berk threw Soup against the wall. Soup looked at Berk with evil eyes.
Soup slammed Loser into a neat stack of 4Direction mugs that Foley had spent a week preventing people from smashing.
Berk Loser didn't move, Soup Rollings had won.
"My power slam was best".

Who’s got the Power?
Bhen “Batman” Baffleck pressed on the throttle and his Sidewinder sped up.
Chenry “Superman” Chavill smiled. He could see Batman chasing him. Superman’s Power was better than Batman’s, so he wasn’t worried at all. He’d win this final battle between them.
Two Sidewinders were closing distance, lasers at the ready. All of a sudden both of them slowed down and came to a stop.
“There’s no Power!” shouted Bhen and Chenry, unisono. Voice channel came to life in both ships:
“Because… I’ve got the Power!” sang Djurron “Turbo-B” Bhutler and disappeared with all the Power, never to be seen again...
