Whose writing on here are you a fan of...?
L00kbackinanger.
If I see that he has posted, I get a bit excited because
Im about to be taken on a mental/emotional journey.
Dont usually get it on the first read, but it is worth
returning to ponder, and learn from.
Also Mike C. and Loulou's writing reach me at a heart level.

An interesting topic and a more healthy way than many on the forum to stroke egos. I like reading Ilasir Maroa's writings and Azmakna's, both poetry and prose. With both they have an individual perspective and create great imagery.

I forgot to add-
Amber Leaf (raw and unsettling in a good way)
Foxee (tangible but still very provocative I think)

There are several for me, but I'd particularly like to mention Loulou and Leyline.

AmberLeaf and Loulou.
I don't really notice who the author is on the rare occasion I go to critique works, but when I finally look at the author's name, most of the time it's one of those two. I do enjoy some other works but unfortunately I don't know who they are.

Charlie_Eleanor. I often start out not particularly interested in her choice of subject, but there's something about the way she writes that always draws me into it by the end.
FeathersOfDust, too, can't believe no one's mentioned her yet. Just love the voice she achieves, especially in her "hard-boiled" / noir inspired tone.
And Leyline, whom NS already mentioned, is fantastic too.

To be honest I just see it as a big pile of poems. Some are good, some are really awful - like mine for instance.

Ohh... I don't know, really... Nothing has really stood out to me as being better than all the rest (and I'll leave that nicely abiguous), but maybe I just need to read more and write less...
