Back before Fanfiction destroyed mobile app access to promote their shitty app, I used to read stories on there daily. Now I don't even bother with ff.net anymore and its been long enough that I don't directly remember any of the authors who I enjoyed either. Mostly I hang around space styles, sv, and qq these days.
But to actually answer the question, Aaron Kite, of Wattpad, is still my favorite author who should have been published, even after a reread ten years later. He's not gone, but it's pretty obvious he's moved onto other hobbies now.
