Alright folks just a few announcements and then my monthly comments on this past issue
First , We are still in need of more articles so send them in ! contact me either via PM , (My MSN is
canonized@aol.com so contact me on that too) or send an e-mail with your article (proof-read) to
aya_fujimiya_x@yahoo.com or even send me an e-mail there if you're unsure about a topic you want to do . If you're unsure of a topic but are still willing to write ,
contact me anyway and I will help you figure out your topic or assign you one
Also , because phargle is ending the ACAs 4 days or so later than usual , the results article will arrive four days after the initial publication (i will be leaving a space open for it) so don't panic , the results will still be exclusively on the AARlander !
And now for some comments
Comments are very important for the writers in much the same way comments on AARs work so please , ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A WRITER YOURSELF , comment on each others' works so that we can get a wonderful crosscurrent of encouragement going
Here are now my thoughts:
First I wanted to give a big thanks to English Patriot who once again helped to edit this issue . He stayed up rather late formatting and doing what he could so thank youa gain old bean !
The_Guiscard's opening volley and debut article really gave us an amazing look at the mind of a accomplished researcher and helped us to attain a sense of clarity with his personal perspective on history . It was definitely very helpful and written with your own personal style ! I enjoyed it very much and I do hope you continue to write again for us !
trekaddict's article was very timely considering the growth of AARland and the distillation of the various kinds of AARs ranging from the purely gameplay to the heavily narrative . trekaddict's fine attention to detail and systematic approach have become a hallmark of the AARlander ; definitely one of our top writers !
Grubnessul: what can I say , old bean ? You're as hilarious as ever XD . Somehow being roasted by you has become such a great honour and privilage that you can practically get away with anything you blackguard XD . Either way , it was an excellent vignette and a runaway hit ! I definitely have to agree with the others ; well done ! I'm very glad you had the opportunity to extend your writing prowess and we hope that you continue to be inspired to do so in the future !
likk9922's article was not only a beautiful review of crusaderknight's work but also an excellent overview of a people with a rich and beautiful history . I think that likk's personal passion is his greatest strength in this article and the love he puts into it is both inspiring and educational . Well done , sir !
robou continues to show us that he can push his journalistic talents to the limits and continues to excel with the quality of his work ! Robster , your abstract of the flow of the interview in AARland was not only interesting but also nostalgic . You're also continuing to give us your distinct voice which makes your articles truly unique . Thank you again for your hard work !
Doge Robert spoke like an old sage to us and gives us a philosophical tour de force on his thesis concerning the helping of other authors especially in signatures -- an interesting and novel idea . The way we treat others is definitely at the forefront of the AARland spirit and I think DR has pinpointed a major attitude that is not only helpful to us as writers and readers , but also enlightening as to the spirit and good will of AARland !
ElidioEmperor's second article is showing how this , one of our newest contributors , is continuing to mature in his writing and has given us interesting food for thought for this month . His article goes to the very heart of what this "Paradox" is in a fun and engaging manner .
Capibara's article takes on the tone worthy of the subject and shows us that AARlander articles can also be serious and grave . Although approaching it with the inspired flame of a young academian , Capibara shows his ability to retell a story in a manner that grips us . You've really come a long way , Arturo . Please don't stop , your spectrum of events and peoples of Latin America has become a cornerstone of the AARlander . We love it !
Degeme finishes off our issue with some helpful tips and reminders for those of us traveling . Degeme , an accomplished traveler himself , presents a straight forward and helpful checklist for every traveler while exuding the spirit of that cosmpolitan AARlander that we all would like to experience being . Thank you again Degeme , your love for the World is precisely what gives your articles their energy !
Overall well done folks ! And please , fire the comments away and send those new articles to me asap !
