The topic seems to be not too popular among the community... Unfair it is. I guess people are just a little lazy to read the stories:beam: Well guys they are worth reading I should say. However my vote goes to Keravnos. Never was a fan of Hellenic Bactria but the way it is written and presented... Great! Other stories are cool too. If only I could give my vote to all of that novels:yes:
P.S. Btw great idea it was to arrange such a contest:balloon2:

I'd call it IOS (Information overload syndrome). Sites like this are full of text, and reading stories is more challenging than just looking at a pretty picture and going: oooh ... nice.

Everyone browsing the forums will read thousands of words and most of them are read fast, merely to extract the most relevant information quickly and then move on. In a way reading forums is like reading a game manual.

Reading these stories is something different. I'd advise people to print them out, and read them somewhere quiet, much like a good book. Only then can they be truely appreciated.

I read through those a little too haphazardly because I had like 15 minutes and had to do other stuff too, but one especially caught my eye and I have done my duty as a citizen... of... this... uh... forum..? Damn suffrage.
