Oh, shit, I'm sorry.
Well, I haven't actually been reading that many AARs anyway recently, so I probably wouldn't have had anyone to nominate, but I apologize for not being around in time for this.

Many thanks to all of you; especially to @stnylan, @DumBMan, @Specialist290 and @Bullfilter for the active following and contribution to my story. 
This time I will leave it open for the nomination, because lately I did not have enough time for active reading. First in, first served!
Well, if no one else is going to take it...
I'd like to nominate @Bullfilter and Civis Romanus Sum (An EU-Rome Vae Victis AAR). There are a number of crafty, conniving characters among the Senate and People of Rome, but in particular I want to highlight two in particular -- veteran bureaucrat Humphronius Obscurus and his understudy Ursus Reverens, perennial fixtures in every administration (and, some might say, the real movers and shakers of Roman politics...).
Enjoy your week as Character Writer of the Week, Bullfilter!

This recognition for the two narrative behind-the-scenes characters of the tale is most appreciated, by them and me, on their behalf! The long line of Consuls they must serve are not always so kind. Thanks guys!
I normally try to avoid congratulations on things I've not read (for my sins I've still not really started on this one as I have so many other excellent works to catch up on). But given @Bullfilter is excellent at character elsewhere, I'll assume these are just as good.
Congratulations on another award. I remain incredulous you can produce so much, so quickly and to such a highs standard!

Many congratulations @Bullfilter
Thank you all very much!
Thanks @El Pip for you ‘sight unseen’ congratulations. You may have gathered they are modelled on Humphrey and Bernard from Yes Minister/Prime Minister, coping with the vagaries of the game and the passing parade of Consuls as best they can.I normally try to avoid congratulations on things I've not read (for my sins I've still not really started on this one as I have so many other excellent works to catch up on).

With the week of glory at an end, I once again thank @Specialist290 for the nod and all those who have offered congratulations since.
It is my pleasure to pass on this award to @streaker77 for the procession of Kings of Noregr we have seen in the excellent work Rise of the Folkungs, A Nordic AAR.
@streaker77 has mastered the art of writing an AAR with a periodic time scale, in that they can move the story along, sometimes by a number of years in between events, but still retain continuity and character development. Each of the Kings have different natures and personalities - sometimes wildly different one to the other - which are well-crafted and riff nicely and faithfully off the game-provided traits and events.
If you haven't read it yet, I urge you to start. If you binge it, you will get a really interesting journey from the early beginnings of the Folkung clan as they embrace their destiny, through to when they are affected by the wider currents of the times (which I won't mention in detail here so as not to spoil for potential new readers).
So, congratulations, @streaker77
