Work it out for yourselves

The old timer was sitting beside the bar reading a mound of papers on the counter. He had been given the task of judging a 100-word fiction contest for the Thargoid and Fer de Lance.

Psykokow ordered a beer and asked eagerly "How did I do?"

Frank answered "E."

"What? Just an 'E'!? My story's worth more than that! It had passion, action, laughs, even a moral. Michael Bay's asked me for the film rights."

Frank wordlessly passed Kow's story over to Sven, who read it before saying "No. I think 'E' is a reasonable enough score for this yarn."

Title: Exploration Problems

A sudden lurch, and all the contents of his work bench flew to the floor with furiosity. With blue prints, tools, and maps scattered about, the commander sprinted to the bridge fearing the worst. "This is the last time I let Verity handle the jumps." he said as he rounded the corridor.


As the bridge door broke it's seal, he expected a punch of bright yellow light to engulf him, but it never came. Instead, he was paralyzed. Not by any physical ailment. It was the blue-white beam coming from the Thargoid ship that filled his canopy, holding him there...

*author's note* I did not realize this was supposed to be a fairy tail entry. In my defense, anything can be a fairy tail until proven true

The princess and the moof-frog

Simoof awoke in a cell with a splitting headache.
"Ughhh, what happened?"

The warden looked in, and read though his notes.
"Well, a certain mister Winnard dared you to lick a Cubeo jungle frog, the one that secretes a strong hallucinogen on its skin."
"Oh god..."
He continued : "Once out of your tree, you through yourself to be a frog, freaked out, and attempted to kiss one Aisling Duval as an attempted 'cure', like in a fairytale".
"Ohhhh god, then what?"
"She bashed you head with an ornamental lantern."
"I remember that, she was calling me a Ute Osser too."

 

[Simoof]

It's no white and the Seven Romans. Princess and the Peeness. Beauty and the Deceased.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, far far away, lived Psykokow.
She was the ugliest princess in the whole universe.




Walkers planet was so polluted, you could almost hang things in the air.
He had been working most of his life with Ray.
The secret was in the tails of the native blond Eez pony.
Fair Eez tails seemed to repel the pollutants staying bright.


Walker and Rey, donned in hazmats, fired the chemical trail into the sky from their SRV.
Nothing. Walker slumped despondently.
Slowly, a small gap formed in the smog.
"Look!" Ray shouted, "Sky Walker"

I'm going to quote this for prosperity. One can only hope that it's one of the unfinished masterpieces stolen from that little known hermit Ol' Bob the Nobbly, last seen on the rocky world of Murd Erdinglash.

Title - Fairytale ending


Freddy the pirate was hunting for his next prey.
Computer showed 3 targets of varying size.
One anaconda, an hauler and an Asp.
Well Freddy said to himself, Which one as the newly found Eranion Gold.
He learned from Lave station that there was a gold shipment passing through Zaonce.
Anaconda is obvious choice but that may be a decoy as Eranion Gold is highly expensive.
Asp is also a good choice but the speed of the ship makes that also an obvious choice.
Freddy chose a the hauler as this may be a fairytale ending,
He got the gold.

TITLE: And So It Begins

The Hammers of Slough communal fridge was very much like its leader; a temperamental beast famed for making bottles of wine mysteriously disappear.

One weary, famished pilot opened the fridge door. “Great! Only a Tupperware box” he thought. The box had written on it “ALKUPAI DIVINATION CARROT”.

The pilot was too hungry, and took the box, opened the lid, grabbed the carrot and took a hearty bite ... and recoiled back into his chair.

Sweat poured from his body. He felt his face and it was furry with long floppy ears rapidly growing.

This was the beginning of CMDR FluffyBun.

Choose your ending

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a disloyal citizen who betrayed our glorious Empire. One day the citizen was out spreading sedition when she was caught by imperial security. An inquisitor came and spoke with her to try and help her see the error of her ways. Desperate to atone for her sins and become a good and loyal citizen again, she told the inquisitor the names of all the seditionists she had conspired with. And she lived happily ever after. This can be your fairy tale ending, if you give me those names.”

 

[CMDR FluffyBun]

Yes, Frank, it is I! I thoroughly enjoyed EliteMeet and it was lovely meeting you and such a wonderful group of CMDRs. I am not much of a writer, but I hope to be able to contribute the odd drabble here and there.

Fairy Stories

Locals call them fairies, No one really knows what the lights are. People first noticed them shortly after the colony was established. Some believe them to be living, intelligent creatures. If they are then they seem to interested in us. You always see more of them around when a ship lands or something is being built.


There are stories about the fairies fixing things. Maybe they'll fix my shield? But not every story is so benign. People have gone missing and some blame the fairies. There's probably nothing to these stories but I'm glad I don't have to stay here.

The Frog Prince

One Fine Evening, an Old Wrinkly Psykokow left his Gold Anaconda secured on the Corolis Pad, spinning his Launch Card high into the air and catching it again, over and over he did this, and on the very next time Psykokow threw the card so high it hooked onto a passing Cobra with Onionhead Markings, "oh Frak !"


Psykokow sheepishly in all his finery swaggered up to the docking clerk, when he turned around the Hairy Frog said, "I shall get your Card back for you in exchange for this I don't want your wealth, All I want is your Lovin".

The tale of the Grumpy Old Man with the heart of stone. The old man stomped his feet, stompy stomp stomp. "Where are all you Drabblers?" the old man bellowed.

All the villagers of the Drabbler thread gathered around. They worked hard night and day, scribbly McScribble. They filled the pot with twenty of the most wonderful Drabbles ever seen in the land, and they managed to complete the task just just before the Thursday night deadline.

Did the hard work of the Drabble villagers melt the stone heart of the Grumpy Old Man?..

... did it

A Sad Tale

Cmdr. MacNerd loved 20th Century war-planes. Since young, he’d built hundreds of model Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Now he had his first Sidewinder. He loved that too, but felt it missed something. He built a replica Spitfire rudder on his ship. Many thought it ridiculous, but MacNerd loved it. He accelerated slowly so it wouldn't fall off.

One day he was invited to a planet-side model-builders’ convention.
He entered the atmosphere too enthusiastically.

Disaster! The plastic Spitfire tail assembly caught fire. It broke off and flamed as it fluttered to the ground.

And that was the end of the fiery tail.

Porkies

He was THE pork trader, that everyone knew.
Not only did his reputation proceed him, but also a faint whiff of bacon could be detected in a 5ls radius of his ship.
The T9 docked clumsily on pad 7 at George Lucas station, crushing a cobra under its mammoth weight.
The door opened and the smoky bacon scented commander stepped from his ship.
He didn't like his nick name, why couldn't they just call him Simoof?
"AH you're back PigFart, what dya have for us today?"
He grumbled “Bacon, Rib and a good mix of bits, though its fairly tails”

Superstition

In the distant past mankind believed in beings of magic. Tales were told of fairies ensnaring mortals in a timeless world, djinn roaming the deserts looking to trap the unwary, sirens luring mariners to a watery grave.

The 33rd century has dawned. Humanity has spread among the stars. Science and rationality have taken centre stage for 1500 years, but superstition still lurks at the back of the human mind. Tales circulate in bars of whispers in witchspace, of strange ships doing impossible things, of materials that defy scientific analysis. Of something more terrible then even the Thargoids.

Fairy stories. Right?

 

[Philip Coutts]

A Question of Perspective

My parents told me tales when I was young. Usually stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress or the slaying of horrible beasts to save the galaxy. Ultimately the protagonist always triumphed with acts of bravery and daring to save the day.

Real life isn't quite like that though, I know, because I stand on the surface of my ruined planet, destroyed by monsters. Thousands of hideous creatures I couldn't defeat or even drive away.

I will have my revenge on these devils, I shall destroy them all. These so called "Humans" will never spill another drop of Thargoid blood.
