Default Any Good Action Reports? War Summaries?

As a greenhorn to SEIV, I love reading about how empires rise and fall, and have found reading after action reports to be quite informative as to player strategies, expectations, and what the game is all about - what works, and what doesn't, and what's unexpected.

Unfortunately, I can not seem to find many such reports. I'd've assumed that with games lasting months and even years, that at the end of it all, someone would want to memorialize the galactic conflict in a exposition on the rise and fall of empires within it. But perhaps there haven't been that many games that have completed?

If anyone could point me to a couple of links detaling the conflicts of mighty and powerful empires, stunning defeats, wicked wins, and such gloating and recalling, I'd love to check them out. I can't play SEIV at work, but I can certainly read about it.

I'm not interested so much in reading long-winded role play, but I love expositions about various wars, how they started... and ended.
Can anyone direct me to a good site with action reports?

I presume you have read through the AAR sub-section of these forums?
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...&Board=seivact

I have part of a story here:
http://www.geocities.com/hohoho611ca/endoftheline.html
I really should finish converting it to html one of these days. The first 6 chapters are up though.

Note:
If anybody remembers some searchable keywords and can dig up the old story threads, I can probably move them to the AAR/story section.

Although all the links are broken due to the forum changes, you can get some story titles here:

Why do we need that when we already have:

Fan Fiction Archives

Raging Deadstar has done excellent work archiving most of the once-linked stories.

One of the players in a game I was in, and has recently finished posted a synopsis of our game - specifically the last bit of it. It's in the Shattered Hopes - Nova storm thread. Here is the link.

I enjoy reading this stuff too!
