Yet Another OOTP6 Dynasty, Year 2: One Flew Over the Pale Hose (Author: cknox0723; 12 ballots; highest vote: 1st (2 times))

Austin James: Playing for His Life (Author, GForce; 11 ballots, highest vote: 1st (4 times))

I've been trying to construct this post for a week and I don't know how to do it. You couldn't pick two different stories to be the collective #1 Dynasty of 2005. Craig is back on top with the Pale Hose, as he bumbles and stumbles his way through his second season at the helm of the scrappy ball players. GForce is new to the countdown, but not new to the posters. Austin James is a brilliant story of a young ball player stuck in a world of turmoil and insanity. GForce really shows his story telling talents in this gripping tale. If you read the first few pages, you wouldn't even know it was about baseball, or had any ties to it at all. It's a fantastic drama.

All in all, both of them are worthy. They are written in completely opposite styles, as Craig throws some humor aroundand things to lighten up the losing streak, and is always there for his readers. GForce is on a set schedule, but has done a magnificent job in hooking his readers in.

A review:

1a. Pale Hose
1b. Austin James
2. 20th Century Challenge
3. Prologue
4. Set in Stone
5. TWB: Pirates
6. You Pick the Teams!
7. Octopus League
8. Alltime All Star League
9a. Outpost League
9b. All-Forum Dynasty
10. Keystone League

I want to thank all the voters. Without your votes, this wouldn't happen. But of course I want to thank all the dynasty writers. You guys are the best.

Til next year everyone.
