I thought I'd do it here.
eloise_bright. You're associated with Wesley in my head, which will come as no surprise, but your Wesley is so very perfect that I give this contented little sigh when I see you've written a fic. You've put him in odd situations and left him momentarily disconcerted, but he's always reseourceful, brave and there's always this spot-on mixture of humour and pathos in him. I love your Wes, I love your fics and I'm so very glad to have had the pleasure of reading them.
wilshenillshe. Willa, you do the hottest, most romantic fics ever and you've created so many worlds that are just a joy to visit. No one does AU quite like you; in a way that makes it feel real and possible. I love your Xander/Spike and your Xander/Wesley. I adore the Bed!verse, the Pierced!verse and so many others. Thank you for being so willing to share your work with us and for being such a strong force in the fandom.
thebratqueen. You are writing two fics I'd drop everything to read a new chapter of; Pet and Protocol and I feedback on those, always...but you've also been writing AD/DB recently and I decided to come clean and admit I've been reading them and loved them, despite RPS being not my thing generally. I feel better now I've confessed ;-) Reading without feeding makes me feel sneaky.
lostgirlslair. How much do I love the quiet, loving Giles and Wesley you write? Lots, that's how much. You've got such a good feel for the hesitant, insecure S3 Wesley and you do this pairing so very well.
mogigraphia and
wolfling. You're both linked in my head because you write so well together, but I love it when you write alone and with other people too. You were the writers who opened my eyes to the complexity and possibilities of G/E and when OOM ends I'm going to be one the mourners that this wonderful epic is over.
wesleysgirl If you don't know how much I love your writing, you haven't been paying attention ;-) You can take pairings I'd never considered, like Wes/Dawn and make them work. You're an absolute darling to work with and I'm so honoured that you've written with me. You write with such confidence and imagination.
allegraslade,
darling_effect,
lovesbitca. Already did you three, but I wasn't going to leave you out. You rock like pebbly, stoney things, you really do :-)
sottovoce10. Your Wesley quartet was so very beautifully written and I love your work. Your Wesley is tragic but never hopelessly so.
rubywisp. I love the way you write because it's just so very readable. That's not as easy to achieve as it sounds but you always manage it. I think of Giles/Xander when I think of you, and that's never a hardship :-)
Also, though this isn't fics, I'd like to say a general 'thank you' to all the people on LJ who post links/pics/con reports and generally do the work so people like me can just click and enjoy. You don't get enough thanks for the time you put in but I appreciate it very much and I'm going to try and do better at saying so in individual cases.
::hugs to all::
