Bethberry -
Well, I don't think I'd go that far
but thank you for the positive words. I admit I have been known to go fleeing to the far hills when I get in over my head in a literary or philosophical discussion and leave it to others to finish running the gauntlet.
Like you, I am quite sure that there must be better threads to nominate for an honor other than the particular one under discussion.
To return to the topic of this thread, I want to put in another word on behalf of
Esty's most recent chapter-by-chapter post. What amazes me is that she seems completely unflappable, at least on this site. No matter what craziness, she responds with calm assurance. Moreover, it's one thing to do book posts when you are in the "right" frame of mind. I often have a way of slipping in and out of the books forum based partly on my schedule and partly on my mood. It is another thing to do these chapter posts week after week no matter what kind of mood you are in. These chapter discussions get off to a much better start because Esty takes the time to think things through and poses a number of questions for us to begin thinking about in our own reading.
Finally, there have been few mentions of RPG posts on this awards thread, but I mean to change that in the coming weeks and give a tip of the hat to a writer or two who has done a gracious or humorous post. My first nod goes to
Amanaduial the Archer for her post in the Green Dragon Inn on the continuing sage of the Innkeeper and that rascal Snaveling. She has done such a clever job with
this post by weaving in a number of ongoing subplots and still finding time for a deliciously embarassing moment at the end.
