Many congratulations to all of the winners and certainly thank you to all of the voters! As always, I am humbled by the support for WOTR. Especially in the face of so many other great EUIV AARs. Thank you to those that gave it mention (and for those following along since we've just turned a huge corner in the narrative.)
Finally, thank you again @Nikolai for facilitating the voting! And I agree - head over and join in this year's YAYAs.

Thanks to @Nikolai once more for running these, for everyone who voted and of course to those who were kind enough to vote for my works - very much appreciated. Very happy to see so many great works recognised, many of which I gratefully follow. Congrats to all winners and nominees, with special congrats for @coz1’s epic work in EU4 and for TBC in HOI4 for those truly excellent pieces and great to see @HistoryDude get up in the ‘Other’ category. Also to the hot competition in the venerable CK2 category and to @DensleyBlair in Vicky 2.

I am very happy with the turnout this time! Thank you, all!
Thank you, all!My pleasure. And this time I managed to do it with less problems than the last few ones. My health is not good, as always, but yesterday I got the great news that the social security people finally granted me disability benefits! Now I finally have a stable income to lean on, albeit less than what it was when I was in work - the times I was able to work. Great news, everyone!

@Nikolai: It’s very selfless of you to keep all this running with everything else you’ve got going on in your life. It truly is a labor of love on your part, and we in turn are truly grateful.

Cheers to all the winners and all the voters and all those who took part! I am still amazed my Road of Queens, such an old AAR, is still getting votes. And such a new AAR, the V2 game about Japan, is even noticed.
