I have made several friends through the dynasty pages over the years and they all began because I was drawn to the fact that here was a real human being with interests similar to mine. Not just a collection of screenshots.
Your particular thread began with some really good writing that I enjoyed reading (even though the font is way too small and strained my eyes). Lately it has been just a collection of screenshots. I would like to see more writing so that I can get to know who this fella is who is doing the English Dynasty.
I also am a big sucker for pretty graphics that the dynasty writer has made himself, rather than just screen grabs of the game.
But the most important thing is to see a personality behind the dynasty and that takes writing.

I think it's a bit reductionist to say that my latest posts have been merely a string of screenshots. I do have write-ups seeded within like
here, and the Results screenshots have news stories I've written embedded within, like
this. And I do have several news stories planned for the coming seasons, and it's early yet in this universe, only the second year of perhaps 125 so far (assuming I stick with it), so it should get better. OTOH, I don't see the screenshots going completely away, either, since that's the most effective way to share topline results.
I take your point, though. Thanks for the insight.
