Mm, and half a pound of artichokes...
I have a category of writers I think of as grocery lists writers. If they gave their grocery list a title, I'd read it. These are the writers you follow from fandom to fandom.
There are writers in this fandom who hold that title, but I'd rather not encourage them to think they can leave, so, I'm mentioning the ones I've found in other fandoms.
Rageprufrock is one of them. I assume most people are at least glancingly familiar with her Smallville work, Conflicts of Interest, and the soon to be completed sequel, Visiting hours, but did you know she wrote Gordon Kormen fic? Kormen. Love.
(Notassuch:
Pru: *scribbles on the back of a recipt* "Things to Buy:"
Betty: *steals* Yay!
Pru: ... Dammit. Why does this always happen? Now I'll end up buying pickled cheese again.)
Another is Julad, who wrote an opening paragraph that I covet:Rodney had no idea who he was, but he already hated P. Kavanagh. What kind of a man wrote his name on his food rations? Snorting in disgust, Rodney peeled the label off P. Kavanagh's banana and stuck it to the front of the break room fridge, and then wolfed the banana down, humming a happy tune. Might as well establish his authority right off the bat. --The Secret Life of Scientists, SGA, slash.
I didn't know who these people were when I started reading, but I didn't care.
Can anyone recommend to me their Grocery List writers?
ETA: Petronelle mentions:
Astolat
Thete1 (no one tell her!)
Flambeau
Resonant8
And I recall helenish, who I should have mentioned in the beginning for writing Obi-wan/Qui-Gon and making me like it. Lost in the Translation. Read it.
