Alien mused over that week's drabble topic ... it was not going to be easy to write something witty, that was Frank's speciality.

Writing something funny was either Mr Winnard's or Simoof's area, although Alien was sure an overuse of hyphens would not be accepted two weeks running.

Cute and fluffy animals was Psykokow's method, and he often got a win.
Copy and pasting ... Alien began to realise Kow had probably done every trick in the book ... and then the sequel.

"I know!" exclaimed Alien ... "It's so rubbish it has to win!" Alien typed out the winning drabble's title "New Beginnings"

Cheeky !! love it!

It takes a peculiarly twisted type of mind to come up with something like this :D Well done! ;)
 
DIY Fix

"Nebula-Skimmer" had been hit by a small rock and was forced to land near a mining site on an otherwise deserted planet.

Frank, whose mining claim it was, stroked his grizzled chin and shook his head as he looked at the Cobra.

"Ain't no facilities around these parts." he grunted. "Yer'll hafta fix her provisional like."

"Here, try this." He offered a heavy bag. "It's cement with Nickel, Uranium, Vanadium oxide an' some other stuff. Add water, make a paste, smear it on."

Two hours later, the sealed Cobra departed.

"Can't beat that 'Frenchy's Common Cement NUVo' " Frank thought.

Miss a lemon's Drabble Titled: Breaking away

'interdiction detected. she tried to shake off whoever deemed her a target'
It was no use either throttle down and accept her fate or be pulled asunder by the massive force of the interdicting ship.
she shot out of supercruise her pursuer seconds behind.
Calculations ran through her head in milliseconds eventually settling on the run, hitting the boost,
fifteen seconds till she could supercruise out,
she opened coms trying to buy time from her pursuer, a curse word left her lips as she realized who her pursuer was

'Hows that 'New Begining' going he sneered at her opening fire..
 
With your wordsmithery, Frank, I think you could do quite a lot. (was that worth a vote?) :D

I'm afraid not. That's only 12 words. If you were to enter a 100-word Drabble about how brilliant I am <beam> then how could I resist giving you a vote. Watch out though, it would be the only vote such a Drabble would get.


01 - Scorpio - THE OPTIMIST
02 - Goose4291 - Persona Non Grata
03 - Simoof - Elite: Dangerous? Soon!
04 - Frank - The World Is What You Make It
05 - moose666 - Ave! Anno Nova, similis anno seneca!
06 - Erik Marcaigh - Karma
07 - Listeri69 - Bringing In the Litter..........
08 - Futuristic Kung Fu - A Psykic letdown
09 - MrMogadon - Mane Gloria
10 - Galactic Midden - A Swindler's Lift
11 - Alien - New Beginnings
12 - insanephoton - Manumission
13 - Darkoba - DIY Fix
14 - Miss Aisle Man - Breaking away


14 Drabbles already entered, and still plenty of hours left for anyone to post new entries onto this thread. Good going people. Great stories. You done me proud.

For anyone getting their skates on, the deadline will be around 10:00 tonight
 
I'm afraid my ego massaging vote goes to Alien this week. It's going to be so difficult to cast that vote the next time I win. I'll make the topic "Frank is Wonderful!"

Aw shucks1 I'm gonna chance the name of my miner from Frank to, er, another Frank, so there!
 
Hitting it for 600

The bulky gloves of the space suit made it difficult to hold the bat. As the bowler ran up to the crease he tightened his grip on the handle.



He swung hard and felt a jolt as ball and bat connected.
Watching the ball fly away from him, he gave a nod of satisfaction as it settled into a low orbit around the little moon.
It wouldn’t be coming back down for at least a half hour. When it did, he would have several hundred runs under his belt.

Yes, on this moon there would be some new big innings.
 
The poll goes up in an hour's time.

Welcome to the game FelixBast. It's always fun to see how new players fare in the voting.
Hey, is that coffee remark directed at me? And how many Drabbles are we at? (Yes, I'm too lazy to count myself. ):D And where do the Drabbles on the previous list come from?:S
edit: 10 minutes...

The Immortal

An eye peered intently through the lens of the powerful microscope.
The single-celled organism shat itself and split in two.
"Sorry. I always do that when the giant eyeball comes." Said one amoeba to the other before they both shat themselves again.
"What do you think it wants?" asked one of the crowd eventually.
"It's looking for something."
"Simoof." Somebody whispered. They all shat themselves again.
"I'm Simoof!" Said a small, defiant voice in the throng.
"I'm Simoof!" Said another.
"No, I'm Simoof!"
"I'm Simoof!" They all shouted together.
The scientist turned from the microscope "Dear god! It's starting again!"
 
It's been an hour! Where's muh bar? I mean, stick. No, Rod!

That's what you call last minute!
