> 1. A Favourite Story That You Wrote

Well, this probably comes down to a tie between:

The Dying Philosopher and The Apostate Knight.

The first is probably my best single piece of work, which at the Time HH even described as my most Lovecraftian. It's not my only 1st Person Perspective story, but it is probably the best of them.

The second is my first (and ongoing) attempt at a full story. I was particularly attached to the first part, which originally included my first experiments with different colours. Again, HH encouraged me to expand it.

It is interesting that the two favourites are both "serious" stories rather than the PVMB work.

> 2. A Favourite Story That Someone Else Wrote

This is obviously very hard to call.

It would be a matter of great Happiness if I could name a complete story, but there are those who feel that the attempt would be, well, a little corny.

Likewise, the most creative method of doing a story (The Caphan chose-your-path adventure) has too many ties to me to count.

The attempt at a comic strip (Lair Legion: The Comic) doesn't really count since - awesome as it was - there was a distinct lack of visuals. Alas, Visionary was immune to persuasion.

I am almost tempted tp put forward Unidentified, where HH kept us waiting to the very end. Again.

Instead, I will nominate one of the group efforts that had a very interesting premise, but never really achieved its full potential: The Parodyverse Hundred Words Round Robin. An interesting variant on the round-robin.

> 3. A Forgotten Under-Rated Classic That People Might Have Overlooked

I feel I should mention Jason's World Class stories. I never really got on with World Class, and have never really understood why. The stories were well designed, well written but alas not all that well recieved.








As is always the case with my writing, please feel free to comment. I welcome both positive and negative criticism of my work, although I cannot promise to enjoy the negative.
