#a third author waltzed me into fma stuff i wouldn't normally do for a while

Do you have any fic authors that you're like "I normally hate this character/ship but I WILL read it if you write because I trust your Snazzy Writing Skills" and since comics is just professional fanfiction at this point, this applies to both AO3-type fic and Actual Comics

What comes to mind is that royed is more or less a notp for me - unnnnnless you’re @metisket or @silentwalrus1​ in which case consider me signed up. Recs: Roy introduces his loved ones to each other cage match (pleasantly twisty), the grapefruit fic (I nearly choked and died laughing; this one is very nsfw, though I hesitate to categorize whatever the hell is happening here as “porn”).

Comic writers are much harder to endorse like this because 1. they work in teams, so how do you trust anyone’s content this much, in practice, and 2. there’s no convenient single webpage linking the bulk of their work to make consuming everything someone’s ever touched easy. Maybe Ryan North? His writing style is like sinking into a brainy jacuzzi: I literally cannot assess his choices critically. I just melt into a pile of huhu word machine go brr.

(In comics I’m more used to the reverse, “This is an objectively good idea that's been done well that you, personally, make look like a bad choice." Professional is not a guarantee of better.)
