She talks of you often and always with a wistful air of regret.

However, I just feel lucky to be able to call her mine and run my fingers through her hair. Usually whilst she's bench-pressing the washing machine. It's what we call "our time". The people who own the launderette are getting a bit annoyed though.

We've all done our bit, including our new man, Alex (welcome on board).

Now it's your turn. Write a 100-word story set in the Elite Galaxy based around the topic of ROGUES. Stick it onto this thread and we'll vote on how good it is.

The story has to be exactly 100 words long, but the title is not included in the count.

Only three slots left. Get 'em while they're hot!

Yeah sorry I may have for once done a half decent Drabble....:eek:

Oh, I apologize. The "wow" was not meant to be in complimentary form. Damn internet, words, and being unable to appropriately reflect tone and facial expressions within the written word.


LOL ;)

That's fine, in fact you could even have that line written as:

The illegal actions he had had to resort to to get the necessities of life, however...

You would get away with that if the illegal actions were in the past, and he was reflecting on them. The English Language is completely broken, and just doesn't make sense when looked at closely.

As for the second part, fugitive to me is someone who is hunted, on the run, a person who does not want to be captured - for example, Harrison Ford in The Fugitive. As for outcast, to me it is someone who has been shunned by his peers/community and is no longer welcome, they have been "cast out" of the group - the Ugly Duckling as an example.

You could argue though that a fugitive by it's very definition is also an outcast, by being a fugitive from the law they are outcast from society.

Language, who'd a thunk it?

Are you suggesting that Harrison Ford should play the ugly duckling? You are mad.

Also, Bleke, you had had had had correctly so don't worry. English is very very broken indeed.

Your 2nd to should be "too". ;)

...edit: I think. Now I'm confused.

Shouldn't there also be a have instead of a had, as in have had had correctly?
But I think you're correct that to to needs changed to to too otherwise it might be confusing to all those people who have had difficulty working out if Bleke might have had intended to say have had had not had had had or perhaps even that where he stated had had had he did so on porpoise. :S
