It's a real joy sometimes to come on here and see the additions to the stories. Not only are they funny, but sometimes can be quite thought provoking, clever, and most of all fun.
The quality of the regular writers is tremendously high... and improves on every post they do...
It started with me, Ant, and FantasyMeister... and then Meka, Venombyte, pb, and many others joined too.
Firstly, I would like to nominate two people.
Meka, and pb.
Meka always does something in every story we have done that has TREMENDOUSLY thrown the story forward... always keeping little details to himself, the "Unknown man in a long black coat" style of his is wonderful, and always helps me to write.
Pb has only just started writing with us, and he now has me waiting patiently for his next addition, which is always superb... write more pb! I know you want to!

Why thank you!
I never really post too much in them, as I don't want to ruin them, that's why I like to guide the story in a certain direction, and leave it hanging on the edge, with the next writer given the chance to either jump right in, or turn back.
On the subject of our tales, wouldn't it be cool to turn them into Interactive Fiction.
If only I had more time!
I would like to nominate Grix and FantasyMeister, though the posts of pb and recently Venombyte are often excellent too. (And Ant, though he's been a little quite lately.)
To be honest, I can't think of a single post which hasn't been of a stunningly high quality. All the posts are very well written, and many are also witty or creative.
In view of this, I'm going to have to vote for SNIPER, since his posts are so memorable, and succinct.
"Your all idiots"
Classic.
On the one hand, Grix has been behind most of the stories and it has always felt that he has a masterplan for the whole thing in the back of his mind (brain?) but most of the contributions from everyone else have been very good as well. I think I might have to abstain from voting as I can't really put one story writer above another at the moment. I may have to go back and judge the evidence!
Mostly because his are long, entertaining, and often the backbone behind the stories.
Also I wouldn't vote for me on this one, as mine are often too short, and I never seem to add to the story. Defintely Grix or FM.
The stories break up the seriousness of these forums and that why they are so popular (the stories i mean).
As for my vote, I'm going to have to go for the persons who started it all, so Grix, FM and Ant, your all the winners inmy view.
Pb comes into best newbie writer.
And remember this is my honest opinoion
