i love so many !! i would like to preface that ALL writers in this community are talented— just because one isn’t on my personal fav list doesn’t mean they aren’t. we’re all equal, and this is all for fun !!

as a whole, i genuinely love each and every person i’ve met in this community. while a lot has happened in the past week, it’s been wonderful seeing positivity spreading in the wake of all the bad. being able to share stories, create, and make friends along the way has been such a wonderful experience for me all around, and i truly hold this little corner of the internet so near and dear to my heart.

my personal overall favorite writer is allindans (sonnyangel) or @neulbins on twitter. beautiful prose, wonderful stories, and nana is a darling, fabulous person. i haven’t read a single piece from nana that i dislike. i genuinely look forward to every update, every new creation, and every wip post. :) one man cult and heartburn are my favorites so far, and there are a few fics in their catalogue i haven’t read still.

if you’ve followed me for some time, you’ll know i’m a huge fan of mrehk on A03, too. i personally really like the tone and style the author uses… i’m a huge fan of clean and fast pacing, i try to replicate it in my own work, and i feel like they execute it beautifully. (if you choose to read their work, please heed the tags.)

the last writer i’m going to highlight is headlines @headbeams on twt. Ali does such a wonderful job with building scenes, and has my all time favorite characterization of Hanbin. I really feel like this author does a good job of capturing your attention when you read their work— it’s quite lovely. (Ali is also doing fic commissions rn, so go check that out!!)

i love so many others, i could be here all day, but those are the top three that come to mind whenever im asked for recs.

( outside of ZB1, my favorite writer on A03 in general is yeosakoi. their writing is my holy grail, and i’ve spent more time rereading their own fics than fics in the communities i actually write for….)
