I was saying to [livejournal.com profile] rsadelle the other day that when I was recently in a bookstore trying to spend a gift certificate I got for my birthday, I couldn't really find anything that looked interesting to me, as I am so spoiled by fanfic actually giving me all the tropes and kinks I like exactly as I like them. I mentioned that I was tempted to buy the works of a renowned fandom plagiarist, just because I figured her stories would have a fannish sensibility so I would be more likely to enjoy them than other random genre fic. (She strongly discouraged me from doing that, btw).

In the course of that conversation, it occurred to me that it would be really handy to have a list of names of fannish authors who write pro-fic, to assist in my search for pro-fic I actually like. Does such a list exist? If not, would you mind commenting with suggestions on this post? I'm not looking for you to out authors' fannish identities--I'm sure many of them want to keep their fandom and pro identities separate--so the name they publish under is what I'm really looking for. So, for example, just say "Naomi Novik, (or "Naomi Novik's Temeraire series") not the fannish name everybody knows her by.
