Well done, winning the Showcase and the Fan in succession! All that is left is the WoW!
Ah yes, all those bribes are starting to pay off.
For me, being a writer and a fan went hand in hand. I was a lurker for about a year, just reading the AAR's so that I would be a better player. When I sterted writing my first AAR, that was when I began to realize the importance of people leaving comments in an AAR.
The single fan who made the greatest impact for me as a writer was my friend Renslaer. Having a writer of his caliber reading and commenting about my little AAR really encouraged me alot.
It always makes me happy when I see some of the big name writers leaving post in other AAR's, especially for our newest writers. I'm not going to recomend Renslaer for the award (although he would certainly be deserving), but I would encourage others to follow his example.
Having said all that, I would like to mention my two favorite AAR's going on at present. (both are in the Vicky forums)
[thread=248276]84 years in Vienna[/thread]
by der Kaiser, a very well written and thought through AAR
[thread=252301]Rise of the Zombie Napoleon, an undead AAR[/thread]
by Hannibal Barca, pretty self explanitory
