Great update.
thank you very much
was a relatively smooth ride considering I had no sleep at all that morning haha !
Murmurandus: ROFL I can't be subtle sometimes XD
Grubnessul: ROFL i had to look him up on wiki !
Also !
That's right everyone ! It's that time again to start voting for your favourites in the AARland Choice AwAARds ! The link to the awards is on this post
. We're once again running for the two categories of Favourite EU3 AAR and Favourite Narrative EU3 AAR ! We hope you've enjoyed the updates as of late as most of the Dante arc qualifies us for the ACA . We really cannot , I repeat , CANNOT win the ACAs without your support and usually most everyone who reads is happy to support us so we thank you for that from the bottom of our hearts !
I wanted to take this moment perhaps to address all of you and tell you why something like the ACA seems to be so important for me . Several things but mostly because of one aspect: the audience gets to decide what they like .
You see , it goes back to why I write . A lot of people when asked why they write and what they think of awards they say "I write for the sake of writing and awards are secondary" which is not at all bad . Why do I write ? Not for writing's sake , actually . Not even really for my sake either . It's for the sake of my readers . The 'quality' of writing here that I strive for is because I want YOU ALL to enjoy my work . It's kind of like having a great girlfriend or boyfriend (depending on who you guys and gals are out there XD) . It's not about how much pleasure YOU get out of the relationship , but a good relationship is about how much you can give , sacrifice , and offer the OTHER . To that end , I am committed to all of YOU readers and fellow authors out there . Even to those lurkers who don't vote or don't comment (although please please do) I am writing for all of you as well . Especially since AARs are not at all profitable (they're quite the opposite really !) the awards in the ACA tell me one thing: that I'm doing my job . No , it's not to validate me as being 'great' or anything silly like that . Instead , it is a show of appreciation from you readers that I'm doing something pleasing for you and entertaining and that my hard work for all of you guys is giving all of us positive results .
So this ACA season please keep that in mind when you go vote . I'm sure you have many choices out there and many favourites , and thank you in advance if you choose Timelines . Just remember that this is something I enjoy doing and always remember why we here at Timelines enjoy winning ACAs: not because it means we're some great individuals , but because we're happy when our girlfriends smile =) and we're happy when our readers are happy .
Thank you and please go and vote !
Sincerely ,
The Management
