I tried to pick authors that were pretty well-known, and, based on their threads in SFF: Books and Comics, pretty popular.
It wa a tough choice for me, but in the end I had to choose Sara Douglass. She was one of the first fantasy authors I ever read a book by, and I still love her.

Tolkien wrote the Silmarillion, which I adore. However, for sheer yardage of output, jokes-per-minute quotient and ridiculous intelligence, it's got to go to Terry Pratchett.

Laurell K. Hamilton. Don't get me wrong, I love Tolkien's stuff, but Hamilton writes fantasy in a more personal way than Tolkien. LotR and Silmarillion seem so distant from what the characters feel and just focus on their actions, and I get bored of that eventually

J. R. R. Tolkien, followed closely by Andrzej Sapkowski (a Polish writer), J. K. Rowling, and Terry Pratchett.

Tollien. Not even close, even as much as I like the Potter books.
More surprising for someone my age is to not see Stephen R Donaldson as a choice, back in the day (late 70s early 80s, the Thomas Covenant trilogies ruled.

I was trying to do the more adult fantasy authors. Though I probably should have known better than to put Tolkien on; everyone love him . . .

Most definitely J.R.R. Tolkien!! Though I must say that I love C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling as well, among several others.
