Hello!
Voting for Best Completed Quest opens , and will remain open until . For those of you who are looking for more information on the Users' Choice Awards generally, you can find it in this thread!
In short, the Users' Choice Awards are about celebrating the best and most beloved quests, stories, and other creative wonderfulness on SV, as decided by SV users. The Awards take place in two phases. During the Nomination Phase, almost four hundred nominations were made across nine categories. These have been narrowed down to only five* in each category.
Now, in the Voting Phase, you get to vote to see which is crowned as champion!
*(In the event of multiple nominees tying, then the tied nominees will all go through to voting so long as the total number of nominees does not exceed ten. In this case tied or excess nominees will not be counted. We will adjudicate this so that no tied nominees are ever privileged any other tied nominees, and nominees with the lowest number of votes are always discounted first.)
Please try to take the time to read the nominees before voting. Each of them had to fight really hard to get here, and they are worth giving a chance!
At , the poll will be closed, and the thread with the highest number of votes will be the winner!
In the event of a tie, we will have joint winners.
This thread will serve as a discussion thread for the voting.
Please feel free to discuss the threads you are voting for, and why. Whether it's an impassioned argument for why people should vote for your favourite work, or just some great commentary and analysis, we love to see it, and this is the place for it!

So, this year's docket is like...
- My narrative Exalted quest about a Dragon-Blooded schoolgirl princess
- Four distinct alt history quests
- A 1.3 million word Command and Conquer quest with very heavy mechanics
This is not meant as an insult to any of the other quest runners involved, it's a charmingly eclectic collection.

I wouldn't call kingdom of god alt-history. not unless you really amp up the amount of work "alt" is doing in that description. doesn't even happen on a recognizable earth
Kingdom Of God was about steering an organisation, but it pretty much did that in the least numbers way possible. The format was close to being an ensemble cast story.
And as mentioned it's set an original fictional setting.

Ah, I'm sorry, my mistake then, I wasn't trying to misrepresent it.

Your penance is to read Kingdom of God and write 200 words on why the saint Maryam Vashti should or should not be elevated to the level of Patriarch Santsarran

I can understand how you can get the impression! I worked very hard to draw on a lot of historical analogy and grounding to make KoG feel real. It's if anything a compliment if that's what someone who hasn't read it assumed!
All of the choices are excellent. I make a special highlight of Dragon Roars, Last Daughter, and Springtime - all really great quests that ended well. I almost feel embarrassed to call KoG completed, although it functionally was - it did not have a formal epilogue or conclusion. But it ended in a good place, and so I don't feel too bad.
