Wow. I'm glad Vann mentioned this in my AAR - I had never heard of the Fan of the Week! Thank you, Vann - it's quite the honor.
Now, following the rules:
1) About myself: I'm a new dad, working at a bank, playing HoI2 in the wee wee hours of the early morning before I go to work. Occasionally I play w/ my baby son sleeping on my chest, and I'm thinking about petitioning Paradox to make it easier to play their games w/ one hand....I've been playing Paradox games since about 2002; I can't recall how I found this forum, but I remember that it was an EU1 AAR by Ariel that made me finally purchase EU2. The rest, as they say, is history. Loved EU2, didn't quite like HoI1, wanted to love Vicky and CK, loving HoI2.
2) AARs- well, obviously I'm a big fan of Kanitatlan's AAR. I loved "Advantages w/o Obligations", and ws2_32 (?)'s various EU2 AARs - I love the analytical stuff.
3) I've got my ideas....
Thanks again! It's an honor!
