It's coming to that time when the last year is digested and spat out into pithy features and "Best of" lists, that leave me with a junk food feeling: satisfied but ultimately empty. So that was that then, was it? 2012.
But it doesn't have to be like that. OurKingdom's "Best of 2012" will only work if it returns and reflects on the moments that mattered, and the writing that hit it spot on.
I need your help to pick these out. Any pieces that stood out? Let me know. Just name them in the comments below, or email me at niki.sethsmith@opendemocracy.net.
