I wrote to Rich-Love a few days ago to give him a heads up that he might be asked to pick again (since it does appear that Karl is unaware and away), but I have not heard back from him. Therefore, I shall choose to whom to pass this along.
Karl Martell would certainly be welcome to come post his hello and response when he does get the news. But the show must go on...
I picked 2 criteria to choose our next winner: 1) frequent encouragement to new and old writers, and 2) a tendency to post in, or follow AARs in, more than one forum.
I was happy to see that Prussiablue fits these categories rather well! However I was not surprised.
What did surprise me is that Prussiablue has never recieved this particular award before. So..
Congratulations, Prussiablue!
Prussiablue has been an inspiration to the Forum as a writer, as well as a fan. He's been a long-time supporter of my work, but you will also see him giving encouragement to new Victoria writers, as well as posting in at least the HOI and Crusader Kings fora, and probably EU as well, though I didn't check that one once I'd established the others.
Please, step on up and congratulate our inveterate fan!!!
