Well, quantity of fans do not equal quality of writing (not berating Philly here, his work is magnificent). I mean, look at Big Brother...
I might be a little biased here, but I still think that on the writing alone, you're far better than the 9 other contenders, who are already at a great level of writing. I say "writing alone", but I take into account all the details, the careful planning, the character's depth and intricacy level, the numerous hints you drop here and there that have us talking for hours! I mean, the only point where you can't compare is on hardware stuff, and that says more about your other abilities than it does if you had the equivalent of a Marvel movie budget.
