I think that would be fair enough, however, Avindian is making some headway towards making it a threeway.
 
Our very first WritAAR of the Year is... drumroll please...

Tanzhang!

A very worthy winner, I must say; consistently well written, in depth AARs. I know my first Tanzhang AAR was, I think, his very first, about the Netherlands in Vicky 2. Congratulations Tanzhang!

A well deserved thumbs up to DensleyBlair for second place, and whoever that other guy is that's tied with him. I've yet to read your stuff, Migthy, but rest assured it is on the short list.
 
My most sincere contrafibularities! Without wishing to offend either of my esteemed runners-up, in my eyes the best writer won. Certainly, My Honourable Friend— sorry, wrong thread. :p Tanzhang is someone from whom I (unashamedly, I might add) draw inspiration in my own writing. Both his prose and overall execution are of the highest standard, and my only qualm is that United We Shall Remain, well, remains unfinished. :D

Congratulations once again!

For the record, I'm also very grateful to all those of you who decided to vote for me. To be able to say that even at one point I was leading this pack of highly talented writers is reward enough. :)
 
How about those who actively campaigned against you? :D

How about you transfer the rights to all contrafibularities, and derivations thereof, over to me, then promise to sign a contract requiring you to comment at least once after each update in A Biography? I feel this would be suitable recompense. :D

Perhaps a brief trip to the gallows?

Heaven forbid something so illiberal!

As the civilized, honourable young man I am, of course I am willing to compensate for emotional damage. I will, however, never in my life, do something as barbaric as you propose. To hand over all rights to contrafibularities, and derivations thereof? Sure, go ahead; but I will never in my life pledge to comment on your AAR! ;)
