Who is the writer that you really like and is barely mentioned here. My pick would be Linda Grant whose Sweetheart Contract was awesome yet she is barely mentioned on these boards.
I suppose I could say an unsung hero within the EU, but certainly not out of it, would be Alan Moore. Need I say more?

Oh man, Alan Moore's Vader is smooth, like buttuh. Exactly the way he should be. I'd nominate Chris Avellone, just for the non-chopped-to-hell parts of Kotor 2. I've only read his Adventures comic about Bultar Swan going medieval on an entire droid base with minimal dialogue, but based on that I'd give his comics stuff the thumbs up too.
I am still devastated that no-one on the TCW staff thought to have an episode devoted to Firepath that depicted Anakin's first game. It's the kind of thing that would have worked really well with the show's format.
