28. I really can't pick. On my flist alone, ten spring to mind, also I have a pretty terrible memory. The following is more a sample of what attracts me to an author, I guess there's clear common threads. In essence, I tend to like writers that provide what I lack, a counterbalancing of the things I find hard and they do well. Names that spring to mind: tryfanstone, Naraht, Dorinda, Morgan, road_rhythm.

10. I don't think I could name it, simply because I don't remember! I wouldn't call it hardcore in terms of content, but I suppose Cool by checkthemargins and the West series by runawaydreamer have the highest ratio of smut to fic. However, I'm really difficult to squick so I've read a lot of things that've been linked with the title "OMG" - Greatest Hits of the spn-kinkmeme

47. Ooh interesting one! I'd find it so difficult to introduce someone to fic like that, because there's so much of it. I'd probably stop off reaaallly gen, with fic that resonated with me on an emotional level or with a humorous fic - things like

- Very Superstitious by novembersmith http://novembersmith.livejournal.com/46923.html which is amazing Generation Kill gen
Once Upon A Time In The North http://archiveofourown.org/works/95889 (which although it's RPF, is very close to the sort of humour you find in newspapers etc - Private Eye would absolutely run it as a serial)
The Grocery Store Conveyor Belt Thing by scioscribe http://archiveofourown.org/works/350536 (SPN humour gen, so funny)
