I loved MacGeorge, too -- bizarrely, I just now did a search for her work and Google warned me off her wordsmith site! Apparently it's very recently been found to install malicious software on the computer of anyone who browses it! The page I got noted that it could be a third-party infestation, which seems likely as I doubt she'd put malicious software on her own site. I also remember Kat Allison and Jeanne DeCarnin as good 'uns and am going to do some searches for their stuff, too. Hopefully their sites won't be infested with malware!
Sylvia Volk's breath-taking, complicated HL novels are still online (on the fugliest website you ever saw, just awful); she writes excellent Buffy fic as well:
Start with the Older Series first, The Good Student was one of my favs and I think the first of her stories that I read. It's all written in the same universe, but she doesn't seem to have it laid out in any sort of timeline. The stories/novels can also be read separately. I actually dl'd all of her work into several Word files and created huge fanzines, Brooklyn-phone-book-sized, that I used to carry around with me and read on buses and trains. Oh, for an e-reader at the time, it would have saved my shoulder a lot of pain!
Sylvia Volk is a big Spike fan, which seems to run true when writers also love Methos. It's like they go for the "gray" character in the fandom. ;)
Lanning Cook's Sacred Trust (http://archiveofourown.org/works/14845) caused an online kerfuffle back in 2001, but since I wasn't in the fandom (I just read the fic), I've no idea what the hell caused the problem. Something ridiculously wanky, no doubt. I loved the novel.
Sandra McDonald currently writes hard-SF paperbacks, and they're getting good reviews on Amazon. Although most of her fic seems to have disappeared when the great HL websites went down over time, she didn't yank her (very few) HL stories from fanfic.net:
Yeah, this is why we needed AO3, so stories won't disappear. Sandra's one of the few "early" writers I liked, she started writing HL fic pre-Methos -- her fav character was always Richie, and she wrote wonderful stories wherein she gave all of the characters, even the much-maligned Tessa, their due. Good story-teller. I lost touch with her when she moved to California to try to become a scriptwriter, so I was not surprised she went pro.
I remember elynross was a pretty awesome HL ficwriter! A search of AO3 gets you a few fics, but more of her work can be found here:

Have fun! Now you've got me re-reading HL fic!
