Fumbles with golden envelope....
andshrew with O'Carroll Factor!!
Here, for your delight is the winning entry for the Star Wars Galaxies competition!
With a picture too..Name: The O’Carroll Factor
Species: “Large gooey space monster”™
The O’Carroll factor is perhaps one of the most sort after beings in the universe, its destructive power several times more powerful than that of the Deathstar. While no one who has seen the creature has lived, according to ancient legend the extremely large gooey monster lives in space, most of the time in a dormant sleep, however when woken it becomes so enradged that it is believed to engulf entire planets- Yes that’s right, Alderan wasn’t destroyed by the Deathstar, but infact it was just the O’Carroll Factor out snacking after the Deathstar’s destructo-ray missed the planet and struck the dormant O’Carroll Factor. Republic scientists where attempting to study the creature before the beginning of the clone war, what remains of their notes seem to suggest that this creature resembles the functions of a white blood cell, in the way that it engulfs anything in its path. On the planet of Elexis Prime, in a deep cavern where ancient Ewoks once lived was an alleged drawing (see attachment) of this legendary creature as it engulfed their civilisation – Could this be The O’Carroll Factor?!
Special mentions must go to
mike_w for a superb entry, reading only slightly shorter than 'War and Peace' with a Ben Elton-esque little bit of politics... like it!
Fraggie for the vision of flying heat-seaking Wookies (and for getting the word 'asexual' in there... one of my favourites..)
Peter Blockley, for a nicely rounded piece, well based in the Star Wars universe and for getting the word 'transexual' in his... my second favourite word...
Tumble for an entry that demonstrates what the effects of drink can do to you...
Will Blockley for a mini-saga which we have already sold the film rights for...
And lastly to Russ, for an entry that shows not only what skiving off school can do to your spelling, but also how to amuse all the mods bar one, who then spends an hour banging his head on his keyboard.
Well done to andshrew, and huge thanks to those who took part.
With the permission of the others, I will post their entries on this thread, but only if others wish to see them.
