Who would you say are the top 5 authors in this fandom, past or present? I'm in the mood for a reading binge.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
ionthesparrow, joatamon, marycontraire, softrockstars, a random assortment of other people who I'm probably forgetting

These are pretty clearly my four personal favorites and not who people would say are the top authors in the fandom.

Any pairing preferences? I feel like we aren't really one fandom, as our reading tends to be so divided, so I would feel weird about pretending to be general when I'm really just talking about my team.

I'm not picky-- if I don't know enough about a team to read the fic I don't mind doing a little reading to get caught up. I'm fine with all the major pairings, and I quite like non-K/T Hawks fic, and PK/Carey, and any and all Claudefic, and the Oilers babies and fetuses in various configurations. Also wouldn't say no to Joe Thornton fic or anything about literally any of the Flames.

What I'm saying is that really anything is fine.

7iris for PK/Carey and marycontraire (as mentioned above) for Claude, though the one by thecoggs is also good. I like ladyjanelly for ultra-woobie Stars fic.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

NA Seconding 7iris For PK/Carey! I've also really enjoyed fic by Katarin, oops_ohdear, gdgdbaby and Menacherie.

NA

Folks I haven't seen mentioned yet that I enjoy: bestliars, labellementuse, gdgdbaby, akaparalian, Lecavayay. All very different, all fun reads.

I don't have a top 5, and I barely remember who writes what, but thehoyden has written two of my favorite fics in the fandom.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
I only read Pens fic and oflights, liophael(particularly on tumblr), chibirhm, arabesque05 and hauntolgie have writen my favourite fics.

Oh and iBear. A few of them don't write anymore and only oflights is prolific unfortunately.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
This isn't really a top 5, it's people who have written stuff I liked.
the hoyden,lightgetsin, twentysomething, oflights.
I also like abstractconcept for all my Avs needs.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
SA and while I think about it I also liked weaglerocks stuff and snickfic.
The second form thing was good and liked that bowerbird thing.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
i fucking love lightgetsin's work.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
I don't know much about the wank surrounding her, only that there is wank, so maybe a controversial choice but: Impertinence

Some of her stuff is just not up my alley (see: Human Empanada) but I adore Ballad of a Broken Bromance and If Heaven's Hypothetical was also well written and engaging, though I had a few issues with it.


...uh I also thought that her short Jordan Staal/Eric Staal/OFC fic was super hot

I'd also second the nonny who said ionthesparrow (who imo, is hands down best writer in the fandom) and add Sharksdontsleep, ohtempora, and bestliars

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
ohtempora is my favorite author in the fandom. I'll read anything she writes.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
A lot of the best ones have already been named, so I'll add five authors with a lot of great rarepair fic -- addandsubtract, derryderrydown, hapakitsune, im_not_a_lizard, and Ferritin4.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
+1 to hapakitsune who I am super glad to see is writing a lot of McDavid/Eichel lately

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
Man, I love Derryderrydown's stuff. I also like 181018 for my dose of porny kinkfic. Redheartglow is amazing. I don't think they write this fandom anymore but Shoemaster's stuff is good. Mockturletale has some good Oilers stuff too.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
I mean, there's a huge difference from "best authors" and my favorites. IDEK how I'd decide on the former, but the latter might be thehoyden, thefourthvine (actually just Fastening, but I love that enough to count a bunch of times), Ferritin4, 7iris, oflights (about half the time), floss, weaglerock, sharksdontsleep.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
+1 for Fastening, I've read it an embarrassing number of times!

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
+1 to thefourthvine. I understand her early fandom dominance/Sid characterization is out of favor with most of meme, but as a non-Pens person I found her through You So Quite New, and it's still my absolute favorite fic in the fandom.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
Her last fic, where Sid advises young players, was much better Sid characterisation I thought.

Re: general RPF fandom discussion - favorite authors

From: (Anonymous)
My "I'll click on anything they write" are sharksdontsleep, addandsubtract, lightgetsin, redheartglow, and gigantic.
