Talking with a few of you has brought to my attention that a few of you don't post encouragement or comments in story threads for fears of throwing the story off or ruining narrative flow. At the same time, some of our writers told me that they wish that they would get some feedback, to hear if people do like their efforts.
So...I give you...a story kudos thread. If you like an offering by our many prolific writers, give a mention here. Or if you wish to encourage others to read a tale, post here.
However, be polite. Flaming posts will be monitored by me.

Yes! Yes. Awesome. Thank you. Compliments where compliments are due
What if someone wants to ask for feedback? Can they do that here too? I mean, if you want feedback there should be a place for that too right? I'm sure many are willing to have a look.
So it has been about 3 years now that i've been on Das.
Through the dozens of stories that i've written...a lot were inspired conceptually by reading a lot of all of your stories. I wasn't much of a writer when I started Das (other than doing school work and crap...) and my own creative writing abilities have flourished here. To have heard "You're hand writing was beautiful" was such a touching statement, but I could have never achieved that had it not been by reading and falling in love with the massive story that is Dasaria's.
I hope that I will get to write much more stories (with DMs and players alike) that will continue to be unexpected, passionate, and limit pushing. So here is to more amazing stories from everyone and for another year of adventure. It is a pleasure to be here though the best and worst of times as this is a place where my mind can be free of reality and lost in the minds of my blondies.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand;
Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us wear the armor of light.
While I tend to read almost every story posted and I enjoy them all...a conversation about writing and how one writes came up.
A player told me that he was amazed at how quick I could knock something out...to which I had to respond that...well yes, I am quick, but then...I am writing in my native tongue.
We have a lot of writers here that use Das and the stories here to practice writing in English. And as someone who only speaks and writes one language....and cant spell worth a damn in that one...I find it very awe inspiring. So...rock on and keep writing.
