"Being a freedom fighter, a force for good, it's a wonderful thing. You get to make your own hours, it looks good on a resume, but the pay sucks."
Well, it's just about that time. Fans are a huge part of what keeps me writing and from personal experience, a compliment or constructive comment by a fan can invigorate one's commitment to write some more in the story. So I'm appreciative of all those who help keep me going!For this next fan, I chose a new honoree, someone who always jumps on my latest update with enthusiasm. So, I'd like to extend this fan and title to our very own...Petrarca!

I have PM'd Petrarca, on the assumption he doesn't know he's won. We'll give him an extra couple of days, then we'll move on if we don't hear from him.

Well, I've been blissfully ignorant of this. Perhaps if Mett could have done more of the *nudge nudge wink wink* routine I would have known, but this isn't the place for recriminations: this is about the AARs and the people who both read and write them.
I haven't come close to writing an AAR since a few months after EU2's release, so I stand firmly in the readers' camp. I am not as profilic a reader as I wish, and much of what I read has only convinced me further that I can't match the quality of writing that I read. I have kept close watch upon Mettermrck and Yogi's AARs in particular as well as Vincent Julian's Prussian Moderation and anything that Judas Maccabeus writes.
I've done something different recently and made a conscious effort to read AARs in different styles. Rocketman's prematurely ended I am the Emperor and Shy Kid's Keep on Rockin' in the Free World have been the primary recipients of that attention. Prufrock's War on Christmas is something I think everyone should read in order to put a smile on our collective face and remember to do everything with a dash of verve and a dousing of creativity.
If you kind folks will excuse me, I have to pick someone else. There're a few people I have in mind but I want to make sure that they haven't been recently honored. Until tonight, I bid you all adieu.
