I got to admit when I saw my name on the writAAR of the week, it still took a while for it register that was me.
This is totally unexpected as I know my writing standards and it's nowhere near many of the excellent writers on this forums.
Anyway, many thanks to Director for naming me and Amric as the this week's writAARs. It is indeed an honour, especially coming from one of the forum's best, so thank you once more.
To Lord Durham, many thanks as well for creating the Free Company universe for which this AAR is based on. Without the Free Company, I would never have won this award.
Thanks as well to all the writers of the Free Company. It was a blast and a privillege collabarating on the Free Company with everyone of you and I really learnt a lot about writing a story from each and every one of you.
Amric, my partner in crime on this AAR. We have come a long way since our first collabaration attempt in Book VI. It's indeed most enjoyable working with you and most satisfying to see our story running so well inspite of our different writing styles and other differences. Thanks for everything and may the rest of this collabaration continue to work out as well as it has so far.
There are also many writers out there whose works has constantly amazed and inspired me in my writing attempts and I want to thank everyone of them as well.
To all the new writers who have just joined the forums, take this as encouragement that anyone can win the awards as well if you try hard enough.
Coz1, thanks for the special mention. It's indeed my first WOW and only my second award here in these forums, the other being a AAR of the week for one of my abandoned AARs many years ago. This will give me extra incentive to make me carry on and make sure I complete this AAR.
And finally to everyone who has dropped in to offer their congrats, a most heartfelt Thank You. We will continue to do our best for this AAR and we hope you will continue to enjoy reading. Thank you!!
