To everyone who posted congratulations - thankyou.
And of course to Saithis, for his very kind words.
Having been a "lurker" for years, I have read many AARs and never saw that I could match the skill, knowledge and love of writing that so many authors display. I still don't think I can - maybe it is just the enjoyment I get from most Paradox games that is seeping through. Or maybe I just found it easier to write about an "normal" person.
Anyway, now the pressure is on - how can I select the Christmas eve winnner in just seven days? I see some serious reading ahead of me. (I have neglected reading for the past few months as I spent so much time writing!)
Thanks once again.
I read quite a few AARs over the past few days, and enjoyed most, but the one I kept coming back to was Gabor's EU3 AAR:
Her(?)Story - Savoy MMP2.15
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...d.php?t=446270
For starters, having female characters as the centrepieces is worthy of reward, but that alone would not have been enough.
What I really liked was the way a series of vignettes is put together to allow the story to flow. While short, Gabor draws a precise sketch of his subject and how she fits into his narrative. Although the AAR is pretty new, I already feel hooked. The writing is natural and expands the story line -just what I always think "role-play" AARs should do.
So, CharactAAR writer of Christmas week: Gabor.
Thanks for the quick reply Iain: I am not used to this system and messed up the link. Hope it works now.

thank you for the honour and the congratulations
and thank you Uriah and aldriq for your kind words
i can only hope that the vingettes idea makes my aar easy to read, and i felt it was high time for women to make it into this male-dominated world of PI games players world(sorry Taer
)
i'm mostly EU3 MMP afficionado, although i read CK, and recently (for the fond memories of EU2) FTG aars too; the more honoured i feel having been picked by HoI player and writaar
i'll need to catch up on readingluckily, there's a holiday break ahead; after which i'll pronounce the winner
thanx everyone!
Congratulations!
