If you had to recommend five HP fanfic writers who are currently in the fandom, writers whose work is not to be missed, who would you recommend?

Well, it depends on what pairings you're interested in, but I'd recommend rinsbane, pir8fancier, geoviki, femmequixotic, and furiosity. Although it's hard to leave out amanuensis1. Okay, so that was six. That's the best I can do. ;-)

1. Pir8fancier ("Home Fries Nazi" and "Definition")
2. Resonant ("Transfigurations")
3. Nym ("Recognition")
4. Amanuensis ("In Spite")
5. Emma Grant, naturally, or I wouldn't bother following your life/journal.

Honestly, I didn't do much checking to make sure these writers are still active, but during a phase this summer of particularly voracious reading, I plenty of good fic, but these are the authors whose fics most stuck with me.

well, i only read h/d [okay, also r/s but i've mostly read fics by people who no longer write in hp], so for that pairing, i'd say annafugazzi, empathic_siren, and rurounihime. those are the first three names that popped into my head. also, silentauror.

You, A.J. Hall, Maya, Lexin, Frances Potter... and a slew of people who've moved on to other things - Al, Nancy M., Penknife, Cassie, Juxian Tang... oh, I know I'm forgetting a mass of people. Blame it on Sunday night.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's pretty much my list! GMTA. ;-)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, yes. (And no need to include me, heh.)

Is Resonant still writing HP?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes. Good suggestions. :-)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

*smooch* Is A.J. Hall still writing in HP?

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Wow, some names I'm not familiar with! Must check out...

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a couple of those are new for me.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, all good ones. :-)

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I don't know -- is Mistful still writing HP, or has she moved on?

[notsopeachie.livejournal.com]

Syven is not a slash fic writer but I have persuaded her after much begging and pleading to write a threesome scene before with Sev and Remus. Check out the Pandora's Box series it is Stellar! I'm guessing she's one of the one's you haven't read :)

[maple-mahogany.livejournal.com]

solstice_muse aka oncelikeshari
shocolate
thrihyrne
pandorajones
auntee_mame

[zahavah.livejournal.com]

she isn't going to start anymore new HP fics, but she has said that she will finish her WIPs.

[el-em-en-oh-pee.livejournal.com]

trying to include mostly the people I haven't seen mentioned yet: foreword, emiime, nqdonne, furiosity, and then mistful (even though she's dropping HP soon?) and/or eloiselovelace (I don't know if she's still in fandom? She's sort of disappeared. So.)

eta oh, and snegurochka_lee.

[singlewoman.livejournal.com]

silentauror
geoviki
dementordelta
amanuensis1
empathic_siren

[shezan.livejournal.com]

WE LIVE IN HOPE!!!!!!!!

[elephantqueen25.livejournal.com]

Somebody who I'm suprised hasn't been mentioned is lomonaaeren whose fic I'm addicted to lately. She's a fab writer and there is constantly somethng to read! I'm not sure how she finds the time...
Besides that though, it has got to be mistful, furiosity, silentauror and your gorgeous self :D

[mizbean.livejournal.com]

fourth_rose
sansa1970
snegurochka_lee
femmequixotic
marksykins (I know she pretty much has left HP, but she's writing a fic for smutmas, so that counts, right?)

Unfortunately, half the people I wanted to list aren't writing HP anymore:(

ooh, Can I add scoradh too?
