Ugh..Maybe I oughta rethink that question to...Where have all the good
authors gone? ;)

If you want to know where your favorite authors have gone, or why they
aren't publishing, ask them. I'm sure they'll be glad to know that you're
interested. In the meantime, let's not clutter up the FFML with this
discussion, eh?

While I can't take sides in "Who are the best authors" debates, I will say
that there are many writers on FFML, both old and new, whose works I
greatly enjoy. If there weren't, I wouldn't spend my time doing this job.
Sadly, good writers often quit for a variety of reasons, but we've always
been lucky enough that talented new people have taken their places.
