About
Back in April 2013 as the Crowdfunded Elite: Dangerous game developed, and its forum grew.
As Newsletters came out, and Official Authors teased us with theses 'drabbles', forum users turned to each other thinking.. I want to write a drabble.
And demand led to the creation of the Abraka Drabble forum thread, a place for would be writers, pro's and others to put their thoughts and sweat into 100 words.
To share these with like minded forum users for nothing other than fun, but then evil competition came along, and we fought to be voted the best of the drabbles. Drabble KING say.. And the battles raged on...
Then rules came in, and themes. To challenge the kings and to make things trickier... And weekly votes allow us to crown the king/queen of the drabbles and let them pick the theme for the following week.
Then the decision came to record the drabbles, to put them to voice.. and thus the Drabble podcast was born...

The New ERA for Drabbles
Since we stopped running Drabbles shows, interest in drabbles hasn't dissappeared as expected.
In fact we have demand for more, and it's time to move it up a gear. We are no longer permitted to run on the Frontier forums so we need a new place, a new home to keep and share our drabbles.
We need a new way of voting
We need a nice way to word count the drabbles...
And we could use this website for a lot more...
So We Are Relaunching the Drabble competitions, to event based shows. So not a weekly occurance but based on set events/ special events.
These events will have a start and end date.
You register to allow you to post and vote (email address required)
And you can submit 1 drabble to each event you wish to join
If you want to view submitted drabbles, you can, you can like, love or hate the previous submissions
If you don't like smut or rude drabbles, you can set the option to not see adult content when you register.
If you tick that you want to see adult content, then each time you write a drabble it will default as adult content unless you untick the box
Don't untick it if your drabble contains profanity or smut.. it could lead to a ban
Sadly in early 2019 Frontier made some changes, and our drabble threads and means to setup votes came to an end.
The live shows had become full of injokes, repetative drabbles... some people even copying and pasting from random word generation sites.. and it was clear something needed to change.
So we stopped doing the shows. It was a hard decision, and our last show highlight is here.
