Big Names in the WW fandom

[melwil]

I was just browsing through blogs and found that people had created quizzes telling you which Smallville Big Name Writer etc, you were. And I thought, gee that would be cool for West Wing.

Then I realised, I've never had a real discussion about who the big names are in the West Wing universe. I have some opinions, and my own favourite writers, but have never run across a discussion about it.

So, any West Wingers reading my live journal (Okay, mandysbitch )- let me know, join in the conversation. Who are our big names?

Yeah, I was about to say Luna. And I'm not even in the fandom.

Ellen M?

If august isn't a BNF, she should be.

Is there a freaking selection criteria for this sort of thing? There probably should be check boxes or something...

I don't know - the fascination with the idea is a bit perverse isn't it? You can be the most popular author in the fandom and still be a very average writer.

It's a bit like Gwyneth Paltrow winning an Academy Award - no one really gets why she won but we suspect it's something to do with her being famous for being famous.

Gwyneth won because Roberto Benini won for the best actor and Cate Blanchett was the only other front runner - and you couldn't have two foreigners taking off the best awards . . . *g*

Feh. It was an incredible injustice anyway.
