The effort of coordinating an interactive writing project, even one of a trivial nature, is dismaying. The effort of writing consistently in an interactive story is dismaying. The grander the vision of the story, the more dismaying the effort. But the Year of the Four Emperors caps all probabilities!

It's not just that the writing is superb—which it is. And it's not just that the storyline is apt and accurate—which it is. It's not even that the story is engrossing—which it is.

It's the whole package. Scope of vision, perfect execution, devotion to the completion of "The Plan"—the Year of the Four Emperors is the most amazing creative project I've ever seen on the internet.

Actually—it’s the most amazing creative project I've ever seen anywhere.
