* LetsPlay/PewDiePie [[Gush/PewDiePie has his own page.]]

* Music/JackStauber has an incredible sound and art style that he incorporates into his work, and most of his work handles [[AbusiveParents cer]][[TalkingDownTheSuicidal tain]] [[DomesticAbuse themes]] a thousand times better than most ''television shows''. And can we bring up the fact that he started making albums at ''sixteen''? Also, I'm jealous of his hair.

* Creator/ChrisClaremont's 1975-1991 run on ''ComicBook/XMen'' was full of spectacular stories and characters. His collaborations with artists Creator/JohnByrne, Alan Davis, and Dave Cockrum were imaginative and fresh, and really codified UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}} in my opinion.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' just may be one of the best shows I've ever seen, and it all comes down to the writing. It sets you up to think it's going to be a traditional MagicalGirl anime, then it yanks the rug out from under you. And it keeps doing so for the rest of the show! The best part, though, is how it manages to walk the tricky tightrope of being a dark deconstruction of the sub-genre, while still maintaining a glimmer of hope, at least until the ending where it at least achieves a bittersweet ending, if not a genuinely happy one. It was the perfect capstone to a great series, and one of the most tightly crafted shows I've ever seen. And this is coming from a person who normally AVOIDS anime.

* for me rockstar (more specifically [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV Dan]] [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Houser]]) Grew the Beard with this generation of gaming in terms of writing, while san andreas had great lines and a good story it wasn't nearly as interesting as niko bellic story. not only they manage to create a living world but they created a character with a reasonable amount of Mangst whose mission to find the man who betrayed him during the war is one of the most compelling stories i've ever heard, it's greatly written, funny motivates you to the end and makes you care for all the characters, and that says something when most series or Games manage to always have an scrappy, and the there's Marston who's pretty much John Wayne And Clint Eastwood Child, someone who's backstory is painful and his motivation it's pure but he's also an anti-hero, sure the story is weak (although your mileage may vary) during the first act but the second you hear far away you'll understand it's one of the greatest games of all time.

* ''Anime/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'' is one of the most creative murder mystery stories I've seen. The first half is your standard Araki fare of Morioh's Joestar Group beating Villains Of The Week senseless until they become friends, but once [[spoiler: Shigechi grabs Kira's hand- I mean ''sandwich'' bag and dies for it]], the narrative focses around Kira and the introduced character Reimi, as the group is sent on a mission to figure out the indentity and whereabouts of Morioh's killer. It also contains my favorite final battle of the franchise, where[[spoiler: Kira starts on top of the world, and then the odds get slowly stacked against him, as he slowly starts suffering a VillanousBSOD the farther behind he gets.]] Then comes the [[spoiler: ambulance]], and Kira is solidified as the single best Jojo villain death.

* Martin L. Gore and Dave Gahan of Music/DepecheMode are both capable of writing some very poetic lyrics about love and lust, ''without'' making it sound awkward, instead applying lots of emotional depth and making everything incredibly intense, and even melancholic. Their lyrics are also incredibly intimate, with them sometimes talking [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou directly to the listener by using personal pronouns.

* Because Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons had limited animation, they relied on good writing to survive. And OH BOY did they have some good writing. When I was a little kid, these cartoons gave me my first real taste of both SitCom and {{Drama}}. Since, I couldn't watch the "adult" dramas like ''Series/LawAndOrder'', I'd get my dose of excitement by wondering how [[WesternAnimation/ValleyOfTheDinosaurs Lok]] would escape the cave of winds, or how [[WesternAnimation/TheBananaSplits the Three Musketeers]] would defeat King's evil twin brother. And when the jokes on normal sitcoms would go over my head, I would turn to ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' or ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' and laugh my head off at the clever jokes. Without cartoons like these, I might have been forced to watch bland stuff like *shudder* ''WesternAnimation/TheGetAlongGang''. Yes, Creator/HannaBarbera introduced me to the wonders of well-written shows, and saved from a lifetime or boredom.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound''. The whole series in fact. There are so few games out there that manage to convey so much emotions in you. You can laugh, get scared, and maybe even cry. In the end, the series is so well-written that it's impossible not to feel something.

* ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'' has the most amazing writing staff ever. I'm in love with that show/manga, honestly (though more the anime, since manga's so pricy) I'm not a very emotional person but Gyula's death made me [[TearJerker cry]].

* I absolutely adore the writing in ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo''. For a show that is targeted towards the younger set, the dialogue is clever, snarky, and witty, with plenty of [[ParentalBonus Parental Bonuses]] (because what kid would get a WholePlotReference to ''Film/MyFairLady''?). There is also zero FakeInteractivity, and the {{Aesop}}s and science lessons are woven deftly into the storylines instead of [[{{Anvilicious}} shoved down your throat]]. The characters work off each other well and have deep personalities, including [[BrokenBird Sean]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Mitchell]], [[MsImagination Sydney]], [[LeeroyJenkins Jet]], [[ParentsAsPeople Carrot and Celery]], [[GadgeteerGenius Dr. Skelley]], [[HiddenDepths Dr. Bergs]], [[{{Keet}} Zerk]] (who gets a ''lot'' of CharacterDevelopment), and [[GoodParents Dr. Rafferty]]

* It might sound shallow, but I love any literature that has Perfect People saying ''ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight'' (or indeed, Screw The Rules, I'm Doing Whatever I Want), facing minor, impotent obstacles, and winning in a shutout. Give me Ayn Rand, give me Robert Heinlein, heck, give me ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Life is so much better when life is good.

* "I understand there are some people who do not believe that Creator/MarkTwain was God, but number me not among these heretics. It was balm to my soul to discover him, because I had previously thought that Creator/JamesFenimoreCooper and Creator/WashingtonIrving were supposed to be writers. The day I found Mark Twain's essay about [[Literature/FenimoreCoopersLiteraryOffences the literary offenses of Cooper]] was the day I came of age, whatever the vital statistics say." Thus spake Robert Paul Smith (author of ''How to do nothing with nobody all alone by yourself''), and I heartily concur with his judgment.

* The writing in ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' manages to help create a fantastically strange atmosphere that somehow feels ''real'', and is every bit as massively successful as the animation in eliminating the feel of UncannyValley commonly associated with stop-motion.

* Creator/WarrenEllis is one of the [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments funniest]] and most [[CrazyIsCool imaginative]] writers today. His tried and tested approach to writing involves getting his hands on an already popular concept, [[RefugeInAudacity injecting it in]] [[EyeScream the retinas]] with bizarre technologies, hilarious dialogue, surreal settings and then [[UpToEleven turning the whole thing up to 11]] makes him a writer to definitely look out for. Case in point: ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}, ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} and the [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague JLU]] episode "Dark Heart."
