Flinn forgot to mention that Leandros is also helping keep the tourism sub-forum alive.

In 2017, Basileos Leandros I began Swords Made of Letters, and the last main chapter was posted on July 14 this year. This is a long-term project in which Baseilos Leandros invested time, creativity and historical knowledge.
If you click on the heading 'Views' at the top of the column, you'll see that Swords Made of Letters is the fourth most-viewed piece in the Creative Writing section - 4th out of over 900 pieces in the CW section going back to 2008. I'm not suggesting that the number of views justifies an award by itself. Popularity may indicate quality, but are there more signs of the quality of this contribution?
Yes, there are. Readers have described this story as "quite the thriller" (Scottish King), intriguing (Tigellinus), using description well and making the reader want to know what happens next (Caillagh de Bodemloze) and as deploying secrets, mysteries and hints about characters to great effect (various readers). If you visit the Writers' Study Hall of Fame, and look at the MCWC Winners, you'll see how rare it is for a story to be the first-place winner of the MCWC twice - and that Swords Made of Letters has that distinction.
I believe that Basileos Leandros I has made an exceptional contribution and I support Flinn's nomination.

Damn, that's true! I forgot to mention his Visit Romania thread, another of his long lasting works (over 9 years and a half and more than 155k views!)
I'm getting old, sorry dudes

How can I be expected to comment if people go around stealing my opinions and posting them before I get here?!
Swords Made of Letters is one of the threads in the Writers' Study I try to stay up to date with, even if I don't have time to post a comment.
Basileos Leandros I is one of the WS's established writers; he's one of the people who return without fail to post new chapters and help to keep the place going - and his writing is well worth reading, in my view. And, as Flinn has said, he doesn't only post in the WS, he makes valuable contributions across the site.
I also support this nomination.
