    I nominate Taiisatai64 as "Best character Writer of the Week" for the characters of his CK2 AAR Eagles of the Steppe, A Kievan Rus AAR. I have really enjoyed the changes the characters have gone through, the vivid detail by which they are described and the different storylines ( or shall I say plots and intrigues ) which are developing at a nice pace.
    Especially the dwarf bishop Trifon has made me a fan of that AAR (albeit a lurking one).
    Congratulations!

    I'm sad to say that I didn't put too much effort into searching for someone to nominate, as I'm more into the actual writing of AARs rather than the reading. The irony is that I find long narrative updates tiresome and annoying to read on a computer screen, while I post similar updates and expect people to love them I'm glad everyone isn't me, or else there would be no base for fan-fiction and AAR-writing on the internet.

    But on that note, there's only ever been one AAR that really made enough of an impression on me to read past the first two or three updates (although several I have read have been of excellent quality, rest assured), and that happens to be General_BTs Rome AARisen, which he recently completed in what I consider to be a most heroic effort. While he deserves an award just for completing an AAR which began in 2007 (and regularly updating it throughout that timeframe, at that), it his characters that truly shine through. He has all the makings of a professional writer, and all the characters that I have read of so far behave in a completely human and natural manner. They have personalities, thoughts, ambitions, and all these things coalesced into a truly marvelous experience.

    While he has won the award in the past, I believe he deserves more accolades, and since it has been nearly two years since his last, I believe another is due. I am confident that he will be able to win this as well.

    Congratulations General_BT!
