[MEGATHREAD] 2018 Lore Tournament

Hello!

The end of the year is coming, and we have just enough days left to run a tournament to find out which of the stories that came out this year are your favorites! We'll pit them against each other and you vote for your faves - or try to convince people that they're wrong :D (Or perhaps more importantly, explain what you did or didn't like, for future reference!)

This battle of the words only includes stories from 2018, non-biographies, and non-skin universe stories. Otherwise there'd be too many and I'd literally run out of days in the year!
