I'm pretty new here too despite my start date so I wouldn't know many people here. But I do know Lewdog from another forum, so I have to give him a shout out for starting this thread. Positive threads always wins out over negative threads.
Thank you to @Iain Aschendale for hooking me up with Mr. Banks' Use of Weapons. It is a really good story, and the guy can kinda channel Mr. Barker's style in the Injury Party part.
I'm a big fan of @izzybot's writing. I think I end up voting for her every time she enters a contest, even though I never realise it's her until the big reveal.
