* Recommended by Tropers/DarkDeceiver
* Darksper really only has one RWBY fanfic to his name, Grimm Tales, yet he's poured a lot of time, love, thought, and effort into it. You can't help but feel sorry for the characters and what they go through, and you grow to love them, and hope that they get a happy ending. What's most notable is [[http://darkesper.deviantart.com/gallery/49425378/The-Tale the story is also up on his DeviantART profile]], with pictures included to add onto the experience, and he constantly interacts with his readers, answering questions and giving hints.

* Recommended by Insano, Mcnickel, Tropers/{{Zelenal}}
* knives4cash is a pleasure to read when it comes to one-shot shipping and friendship for the White Rose and Bumblebee pairings. With over fifty works on the shelf with his series [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/59430 "Pollination: The Bumblebee and White Rose,"]] you'll be laughing and smiling for a good while, and the occasional references, crossovers, and alternate history writing make the experience even better.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1389991/momoxtoshiro Momoxtoshiro]]'', also known as [[http://hanasaku-shijin.tumblr.com/ Hana]]
* Recommended by Mcnickel
* One of the more prolific writers of the RWBY fandom, Hana makes a point of updating weekly at a minimum, often on what she calls RWBY Tuesdays. Her works run the gambit from uplifting fluff to crushing angst, and while a large number of her works are one-shots, her series, especially [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10347106/1/Gold Gold]], are very well-received.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1036244/ Dinas Emrys]]'', also known as [[http://redsuitwriter.tumblr.com/ RedSuitWriter]]
* Recommended by [=MinamiKobayashi=]
* A writer who focuses primarily on action-heavy romance, however, he has a preference for longer-length series over one-shots. Good work, although he tends to run multiple series at the same time and has longer waits between updates. As of writing, his ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9916943/1/Premium-Well-Redux Premium Well Redux]]'' is the highest-rated story in the RWBY section of Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. His Vigilante AU series also includes a Prequel episode written by knives4cash featured above, and he is a writer on the ''VisualNovel/SummerRoseCourt'' project.
* Has recently started on an AU based on the [[Literature/XWingSeries X-Wing novels]], titled ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6573736/chapters/15040990 The Nikos Gambit.]]''

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2324139/God-Emperor-Penguin God Emperor Penguin]]''
* Recommended by [=LadWatcher=]
* God Emperor Penguin is known for being one of the most, if not the most, bizarre fanfiction writer of RWBY. His works generally involve shipping between Jaune and a random female character, with the Author's preferred character being Weiss. With decent writing skills and an outstanding imagination, his works never fail to entertain. However, on the edge side, the author has a tendency for writing extremely crackbrained plots and unexpected endings for his stories with the most known example being ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10714768/1/Betrothed Betrothed]]'' thus earning him the title of a troll. His account is shared by other two writers, one of them being the author of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10850018/1/Inch Inch]]'' which is by far one of the best shipping fanfics between Jaune and Weiss.

* One of the best romantic writers in the fandom, their [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/97778 Mafia]] [[https://theivorytowercrumbles.tumblr.com/post/112560638129/mafia-au-masterpost-an-au-where-weiss-is-born-nine AU]] is generally regarded as one of the best [=AUs=] created thus far.

* A wonderful humor and romance writer who writes for multiple pairings. They've also written more serious works.

''[[http://archiveofourown.org/users/Xekstrin/works Xekstrin]]''
* Recommended by[= SkyrimForTheElves=], [=MinamiKobayashi=]
* One of the writers on ''VisualNovel/SummerRoseCourt'', one of the highest regarded smut writers in the FNDM, the namer of the 'Enabler' ship, and an incredible writer who has also done PG romance. Highly recommended.

* Recommended by[= PunslingerYang=]
* An exceptional humor and romance writer. They've written many different pairings, and they've also written some very good angst, as well as a few more dirty works. Of particular note are ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4782431/chapters/10940858 Miscommunication]]'', a monochrome angst piece, ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/4960024 Off the Tracks]]'', which is bumbleby romance/humor, and ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/4878607 The Team Furnace]]'', which is a good teamwide humor fic that seems to be shaping up into Bee's Schnees.

''[[http://midwestern-duchess.tumblr.com/writings Midwestern Duchess]]''
* Recommended by @/{{henry42}}
* Midwestern Duchess mainly writes one-shots, although with some shared continuity. Stories are overall fairly serious, but most are not unusually dark.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5939857/ FiercesomestDefenestrator]]''
* Recommended by[= Bored4Eternity=]
* A pair of writers who currently have a fantastically written ongoing series with multiple installments and shorts. Additionally, they also have a monochrome story that is also ongoing as well. The collaboration works by each author divvying up characters to write for. The writers do an excellent job with characterization and occasionally do a little bit of deconstruction concerning the clashing personalities of our protagonists while taking them through their adventures.


''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6325933/Novandalis Novandalis]]''
* Recommended by Tropers/BlackSunNocturne
* Novandalis' fics are a pleasure to read when it comes to shipping (thus far she's completed a Weiss/Neo fanfic, and is working on the sequel along with a Monochrome/Checkmating fanfic) that combine very well-written dialogue, humor, drama and all that good stuff. Her three longest fics, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10923023/1/RWBY-A-Neo-Outlook-on-Life RWBY: A Neo Outlook on Life]]'', ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11626422/1/RWBY-A-Neo-Outlook-on-Life-II RWBY: A Neo Outlook on Life II]]'' and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11229754/1/RWBY-Starting-at-Checkmate RWBY: Starting at Checkmate]]'' are AlternateUniverse fics, with the first two having the largest divergence from the main plot, whereas ''RWBY: Starting at Checkmate'' follows the plot of Volumes 2 and 3 a bit more closely, though with some changed.

* Recommended by Tropers/RaineyH, Tropers/KarmaChameleon, Tropers/DarkDeceiver, Katkiller-V
* An extremely prolific author who updates five stories every week. With a few exceptions, all of his fics focus on the character of Jaune Arc in one way or another, though he cleverly adjusts Jaune's background, the overall world of Remnant, and his plots to such a degree that each story feels unique and not repetitive.
* Author of the infamous ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10898868/1/Professor-Arc Professor Arc]]'' series, in which Jaune's faked credentials are just [[GoneHorriblyRight a little too good]]. As if that weren't enough, in order to keep his story intact, he decides to ask a favor of everyone's favorite LovableRogue, [[OhCrap Roman Torchwick...]] It's sweet. It's clever. It's funny as hell and you should go read it right now.
* Also the author of ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11655241/1/Stress-Relief Stress Relief]]'' in which Arc Furnace (look it up) almost seems plausible. Thoroughly NSFW, but probably one of the best treatments of Cinder's character yet written.
* The author of this troper's favorite, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11822902/1/Not-this-time-Fate Not This Time, Fate]]''.
** A looping fic where Jaune has lost count of the number of loops he's gone through and is starting to crack from the stress, Not This Time Fate (Eventual Jaune/Weiss).
* His complete list also includes;
** The Knightshade stories; ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10817938/1/One-Good-Turn-Deserves-Another One Good Turn Deserves Another]]'', ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11518796/1/From-Beyond From Beyond]]''

** Other pairings: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12606073/1/Service-with-a-Smile Service With a Smile]]'' (which is Jaune/[[spoiler:Miltia]]), ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12863738/1/Relic-of-the-Future Relic of the Future]]'' (Jaune/[[spoiler:Winter]]), ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12044591/1/Forged-Destiny Forged Destiny]]'' (Jaune/[[spoiler:Ruby]]).
** His non-Jaune centric stories, first focusing on Yang in an AU aftermath of Volume 3: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12615415/1/Captain-Dragon Captain Dragon]]'', and second focusing on Ruby in a fantasy-based AU: ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13268494/1/Arcanum Arcanum]]''.

* Recommended by {{Tropers/Alexlayer}}
* An incredibly prolific and talented author who writes all sorts of AU stories, largely centered around their three favorite characters – Weiss, Blake and Yang – and their favorite pairings, which is largely comprised of any combination of the aforementioned three characters, along with a few addition, such as Yang/Winter. Moreover, they make it a point to always explore the characters in depth, so their stories make for great analysis of these characters. There’s just no end to the adventures, situations and romances this author will put the cast through, so if you share their favorite characters, you should definitely give their work a try.

* A talented writer who likes Bumblebee. As in, it's the focus of every single one of her stories. Regardless, all of her RWBY stories are exceptionally well written, intriguing as hell, and, save for a drabble series, all complete. Worth a look.

* A duo of prolific writers who have written a number of RWBY fanfics, both separately and together. Many focus on the Happy Huntresses, fleshing them out considerably both individually and as a group, as well as a number of AUs, such as [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26549617/chapters/64719499 Aquarius]], a retelling of the Odyssey featuring a living Pyrrha journeying to Haven, and [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/28094940 The Gang Kidnaps A Child]], where Team STRQ finds ten year old Cinder at the hotel. Regardless of the fic, all of them share strong prose, creative worldbuilding, a little bit of humor, and a focus on character study above all, bringing out HiddenDepths and CharacterDevelopment from the canon.
