Some of the most prolific authors EA has ever seen, seem to have stopped posting for one reason or another.

Some are old, some aren't.

I miss Slammr, Nathan (has a 9001 in his email), and lately Atreyu. Also lamortdelioncourt with the "Demetrius" stories.

In fact, Nathan has a large chunk of top-rated stories to his credit.

It's always a treat to see something from Byzwriter as well.

I often wonder where the author of the "Thecia" series went.

Mark (mostly G themed) is another whose works I've always enjoyed.

And I dearly miss Cainanite's stuff.

To all the newer active writers, THANK YOU!

As I've discussed with one person, I've been careful in what I say or comment, lest I get accused of playing favorites, or running a mutual admiration society.

Well, that's over with, as I've said before. If I like it, I'll rate/comment it.

I hope you all do the same, and when you get time, go back and check out some of the Archive's older works.

Having been reading the archive since I was a late teenager back in 2002/2003, I remember reading a lot of interesting stories by many great authors- it was eye opening. Being straight, I didn't even understand what gay was, but reading works by gay authors from the point of view of their characters was very intriguing for me.

Hmmm if I had to list one author whose absence I sorely miss it would be Doro; her works were what motivated me to write and post to the archive in the first place. All of the Sylvia's Cutting Coven stories have been backed up on my hard drive should they ever fall off the site lol, that's how much I enjoyed them.
