Authors, and Websites
- Recommended by sardns
- P.I.D is definitely one of the best authors when it comes to Tangled fan fiction. S/He only writes one shots, and all of them are worth a read. All characters are portrayed perfectly, and the situations in which they are written in are very entertaining. Pretty much exclusively of the romance/humor/heartwarming genre.
- Recommended by SMARTALIENQT
- S/He is brilliant at character portrayal. She balances motivations, personalities, and relationships perfectly, and is just a good writer in general, with dynamic and enthralling storylines, even if it's just a one shot.
- Recommended by SMARTALIENQT
- Definitely one of, if not the most, popular Tangled authors. His stories "What You Don't Know" and "Trust Me" have racked up hundreds of reviews, and for very good reason: they are fantastic. His character's personalities are spot-on, his development is wonderful, his pacing is perfect, and his writing itself is incredible.
General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
