1: Tryout by Friar Dave Strong characterization, witty dialog, and scorching sex: Friar Dave has it all.
2: Sardines by Lubrican Lubrican has written a enviably large number of stories. I encourage readers to peruse them all: Sardines is just one of my favourites.
3: Fidèle by Barahir Ongoing as of this writing, but very, very good, promising more as it matures. Well-rounded, full-bodied characters; sparkling, crisp dialogue; broad expansive scenes full of color and life.
The allusion to wine tasting notes are quite deliberate, as you'll discover on starting the story: just go read it, now.
4: Winter's Wonderland by Paige Hawthorne If you're a fan of hard-boiled detective fiction in the style of Lee Child lightened with a little humour, I strongly recommend Paige's work. Start with the first Winter Jennings story and settle in for a long, thrilling ride.
5: Six Times A Day by Spacer X One of the works I admire not because of the writing skill of its author but due to the sheer ambition: Six Times A Day is over three million words and is one of the few illustrated works on SOL.
6: Listening to Jack by Mister Arioch I've written "moral" mind-control stories. This is quite the opposite, but wickedly enjoyable for all of that.
