This is such a nice idea! Thanks for doing this!
I'm nominating @thatndginger because more people should be reading Into The Storm and The Runaway! They're both so good! Their characters are incredibly well drawn and the dialogue is satisfyingly snappy! Links can be found on their writeblr intro post.
I'd also like to toss my name into the hat!
I write and post a serial fiction with my co-writer @touloser-lautrec (who also does all the artwork) called Sunset. It's a story in three volumes: Sunrise (posted), High Noon (currently releasing), and Sunset (in beta). You can find a blurb and some worldbuilding posts in my writeblr intro.
Sunset follows an LGBTQIA+ ensemble cast of characters with superpowers that are way more trouble than they're worth, through a slow-build arc of found family in Volume 1--and then through action, adventure, espionage/intrigue, romance, and monster-hunting in Volume 2.
We have a Sunset Patreon where patrons get issues and art early, as well as exclusive artwork, bonus scenes, high-res images, and physical gift packages.
Sunset is also posted on Royal Road and AO3 a week after Patreon.
We have a Kofi and a small Discord community.
And my co-writer @touloser-lautrec's amazing artwork!

If people are looking for a queer science-fantasy/urban-fantasy story that they won't run out of soon--our page count is currently: 2,348.
It's expansive. The storylines may start out feeling separate but as the story goes on, it becomes more and more apparent how interlinked all the characters' actions are. My co-writer and I have been working on Sunset for over 15 years now and just got up the nerve to start sharing it in 2023, so we've had time to really develop this slow-burn story.
It's sort of writer-culture to talk badly about our own work, but I'm actually really proud of how Sunset has come out.
I know queer slow-burn turned action/adventure with cult-like mega corps and oops-all-grey-morality and complicated/questionable relationship dynamics and sadistic telepaths and religious monster hunter collectives and spies and weird superpowers and grief and heads of HR who have a pet hamster named Baguette that they are desperately trying to make the company's official mascot--is not everyone's cup of tea.
But I think it could be a couple people's cup of tea.
