It's been eons since I actually got around the forum but I will throw my two cents in - just cuz some folks need to get some cudos...

Mad Lews, dirt bag though he may be, is quite compelling. I say that despite his penchant for horribly gruesome tales.
Benfan, though his number of works are numbered minimally, is quite the writer.
Rolf Palsy, though his stories are not to my taste is more than capable.
Lex Ludite is another one of my favorites, though he tends towards the stomach churning.
Toxis, who started an entire genre of stories and spawned many copy-cats must not go without note.
Night Writer is another who should not go unread.
Dee Driscoll is, without a doubt, one of the finer writers here, as well.
Nikita in not on my list simply so her head doesn't explode.

In quality of writing and imagination there are few who can compete with these fine authors. As an author, it is these people I strive to meet in quality and imagination.
