Definitely not an author, just someone who enjoys reading well developed stories with real life, believable characters and a well cared for story line. Examples can be found in the authors I follow and the stories I favor.
Dislikes include wham/bam thank you ma’am/sir stories. I understand this is an erotic sight, but if I wanted short, get to the sex I’d just watch videos. Authors who create an important part/scene but never come back to it. If it can’t be explained later leave it out.
To all my favorite authors I give you a huge “Shout Out” for sharing your creativity, imagination, characters and stories with me. I truly appreciate your wonderful efforts in brining these stories to life for me.
