Complete version of Status Quo.

Post by drew »

Here is the complete version, with all chapters combined. That's all folks!

I've added a 'dedication' which you will all hopefully find appropriate, and a 'Webliography' at the end. Thanks to all of you for the feedback whilst it was being written, I tried to encorporate a lot of your thoughts and ideas into the story line whereever possible. It's much the better for it.

Enjoy! Thanks for reading!

Cheers,

Drew.

Whoa! 98 pages is not a short story! It's a novella! :o

Ah, I'll print this out and put onto my bedside table to read before I fall asleep! :)

Fantastic. Absolutely spot on.

A true work of art, nice one.

So much praise, it must be good.

I promise to print, bind and read it when it's finished.
I'll even use the Elitelogo copper cover, which I made for an especially good piece of fiction, for it.
:D

Well it's definitely finished! Set myself a deadline of the end of the month and made it with 3 days to spare. Good practice!

Wouldn't mind seeing a scan of that copper cover once you've printed and bound it. Thanks for the compliment!

Cheers,

Drew.

Oh, I have put a link to it on the EBBS - spot on. Needs adding to the Elite-Wiki at some point soon but I don't have access (due to lazyness)...

Who the hell is Richard Hughes?

Bizarre...on the first page, one David Hughes is listed as the owner of hughesd.co.uk, but by the last page, it seems to have been taken over by Richard Hughes.

:shock:

Nice dedication, and a great piece of work. Definitely a novella.

Oops! Must have had Richard Feynman on the brain... Will edit! :shock: :lol:

There is a page on the elite wiki here, and I took the liberty of adding a link from the Q-bomb page too.. (need cheeky monkey smiley!)

Cheers,

Drew.

Edit : Richard Hughes has left the building! :wink:

I love it so much!
There is something deeply, deeply wrong with me, and I intend to find out what it is, as soon as I'm done burning this cat.
