Haven't posted in some time, yes? Well, I saw this over at tamlane's journal and decided to try it.
List 10 authors whose work you enjoy, along with a single word that defines the quality you like most about their writing style.
If you like, link to a work of theirs that you particularly enjoyed.
Since I have a million favourite works/authors, I've chosen some of the ones who I have literally read almost every fic (regardless of fandom and/or pairing) and loved every single one of them. Keep in mind that I am a multi-fandom-loving multi-shipper, so this is going to be all over the place.
And because the two of us seem to share nearly every ship imaginable, and because she writes amazingly and because I am yet to not-love anything she has written so far...
youcallitwinter - Emotional (Harry Potter, The Good Wife, Wizards of Waverly Place, Community, Life With Derek, The Hunger Games, The Vampire Diaries... Did I miss anything? ;P )
There are many, many more authors who I love (some of them my LJ friends). But for now, I decided to pick a cross-section of styles and fandoms.
