OP

(Anonymous) 2012-07-30 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
It is pretty teenybopperish, I agree. Sometimes the YA fiction, trends, and first person POV gets tiring for me and I have to retreat to the rare souls who share my preferences of science fiction/fantasy and third person limited. But then I again, I went through a stage just like theirs when I was their ages, so I can advise them somewhat.

But now I've gotten sidetracked from what I really meant to say. I do have a list of authors I recommend, though it's smaller than I'd like. (The best ones tend to be the quiet ones, so it's only with luck and chance that I've found them.)


The list (along with what makes them good) is as follows:

- Grace F (User number: 201755 Sadly, she seems to have removed much of her writing at the moment, but she writes often and well, and knows how to communicate pretty visuals to her visuals. She's also a wonderful conversant.)
- Kimberly Karalius (User number: 414 I love her descriptions and her originality, as well as the way she makes each of her characters distinct from one another. She also understands that human morality is so much more complicated than black and white, an understanding I don't see often enough in young writers.)
- TheArchitect (User number: 34933 To be honest, it's because I could read her poetry for hours and never get bored.)
- Artemis Moonsong (User number: 47057 She has a great style and intrinsically understands how writing works. I don't see her very often now, but she used to hang out on The Writing Life forum a lot and give many amateurs very useful advice. She tells good stories and deserves a lot more praise than she receives.)
- B. D. Legan (User number: 16827 She's a very talented teenager and experiments in a lot of different genres, enough that I've lost count. She's appreciative of her readers and, unlike other popular figs, isn't pushy for reads. If she ever decides to pursue writing professionally, I think she'll definitely succeed.)
- O. Ouellette (User number: 51593 I love her style, her sophistication, and her gift for creepiness where it matters. Though I don't usually like reading stories with disturbing elements, she writes it well enough that I enjoy it.)
- Beanie Bratton (User number: 48727 Perhaps it's because this writer shares so many interests with me, but I like the writing style, the storytelling, and the humor. Bratton also has a wonderful gift for descriptions.)
- AnQi Yu (User number: 96332 Her writing ranges across a wide spectrum of genres, yet always manages to interest me, no matter what. She's also great with character voices and accents.)
- Sara Kellar (User number: 65420 If she had a copy editor on hand all the time, I think her writing would be almost too good for someone her age. She tells great, gripping stories that read much like the writing of people several decades her senior. And I think she does it just naturally, too, which is even more amazing.)
- Hannah Wright (User number: 87706 Her short stories are amusing, thoughtful, and ultimately satisfying to read. I love the way she builds her characters and knows exactly the right way to tell a short story.)
