1,000 PLUS: Extraordinary Fics with Extraordinary Reviews
 * Recommended by serbii
 * This is a community on fanfiction.net, it catalogues every Naruto fic that reaches 1000 reviews, which is only about .01% of the Naruto fics on the site.

Doc Destructo
 * Recommended by Revlid
 * I strongly recommend anything by this author, all very funny, very intelligent and well-characterized pieces of fluff, mostly one-shot and mostly NaruSaku or NaruIno, set vaguely after and during the series. Seduce My Wife is a personal favorite.

Toboe Lonewolf
 * Recommended by Servitor_2152
 * Primarily oneshots and drabbles, some AU stuff (ninja cyberpunk!). Mostly focusing on Team Guy, mostly Neji/TenTen shipping. All are highly enjoyable and fun to read, and won't take much time out of your day to finish.

FastForward
 * Recommended by Spiri Tsunami
 * Those looking for het pairings should go elsewhere. Those looking for Naruto/Sasuke, Kakashi/Iruka, and Raidou/Genma should look here. Lots of great non-AU oneshots (my personal recommendation among those: All I Want For Christmas Is You), but the AU multis are the best.

Artful Lounger
 * Recommended by jusenkyoruler
 * A very good author; loves evil/dark Naruto fics and updates relatively quickly.

dave-d
 * Recommended by Malchus
 * A very prolific NaruHina writer with a great writing style and utterly hilarious humor. Hell, just read Birds and Bees, a humorous two-shot involving the males of Naruto's age group talking typical guy talk. It's a great sample of the author's humor style. The author mostly makes one- or two-chapter fics, but also has some longer and more serious stories. All are well worth the read.

Lucillia
 * Recommended by roflMons
 * A great author with over 200 stories. A lot of hilarious, short oneshots and some longer, darker fics as well.

kaotic312
 * Recommended by Tina Banina 96
 * A fantastic author. Longer stories, but some humorous (and I mean, laugh out loud)oneshots. Specializes in crack/unusual pairings but has the ability to make these pairings believable, keep everybody in character and just bring the reader into their take on Naruto's world.

Asuka Kureru
 * Recommended by Shiruvi
 * If your OT3 happens to be Team 7/NaruSasuSaku, look no further than the Teamwork series. While it veers heavily from canon post VoTE, it doesn't matter to the quality of the story and of the characters. Also check out the NaruSasu 'Saki-chan' universe - her livejournal contains contributions from other authors in this universe (I especially like the Origin of Saki-chan fic by YamiTenshi) adding and expanding the original three-chapter fic Lace and Strawberries. Obviously, these stories contain mature scenes of het, yaoi and even some yuri. If you hate Sasuke, Sakura or Naruto, then obviously stay away.

Quill of Molliemon
 * Recommended by Catt
 * A very good Minato/Kushina writer, mostly humorous, but good at emotional scenes as well. Mainly AU one-shots and short stories featuring scences from their lives as they meet and grow closer. Also recommended are the Pokemon crossover stories, the only good ones I've seen so far, even if Vulpix is the starter, he starts out very rebellious. Also a must see is Seal Shatter, where Kushina is the Hokage's assistant, and deals with an amnesiac Minato as she raises their son. Starts in the Chuunin exam arc.

Legendary Legacy
 * Recommended by Kamakazikid8
 * A great mockfic writer who just makes fun of over used fanfiction ideas, most of which are usually delivered badly. Has so far mocked: "Yaoi, Mary Sues, Super-Narutos, Female Kyubis, Self Inserts, High school, Time Travel, Ask (Character), Kitten, and Sakura-beats-the-shit-out-of-Naruto-after-bringing-back-Sasuke (there's gotta be a shorter name for that) fics." Other than mockfics, he also writes very good humor stories.

The Original Naruto Fanfiction Archive (TONFA)
 * Recommended by Smoodle-Fshoodle
 * It's a good site aside from fanfiction.net where you can find lots of Naruto fanfiction. It has an especially nice award category where the best of the best are chosen and cycled through on a regular basis. The site is nice if you don't want to sift through 250,000 fanfictions to find a few that you like, it only has a only few thousand available. It's fairly easy to navigate, too.

Sarah1281
 * Recommended by Sanzano
 * It's difficult not to recommend this prolific author. She usually makes one-shots based in some plot hole of the canon and tries to gives them sense in a hilarious way. You really have to read some of her stories. One-shot's aside, her longer works are also quite amusing.

ncfan
 * Recommended by Gryfo
 * With over a thousand fics,ncfan is a writer who's well worth a look.If you love crack pairings, a more cynical view of Konoha and the shinobi lifestyle in general, minor characters and Sunagakure, you really don't want to miss this author.

demonicnargles
 * Recommended by BlueFox
 * Wrote lots of one-shots of the For Want of a Nail kind, including quite a few about the rather obscure Naruto/Tayuya pairing, all done in a very compelling way. Some are very dark.

randomsomeone ""In our youth and in our insanity, we may forget the simple pleasure of another's touch.""
 * Recommended by Saro
 * Primarily an author of GaaSaku, random's works span from the hilarious to the heartwarming to the heartbreaking. I recommend you at least give one or two of her fics a try. My personal favorite work of hers (and my favorite romance work of all time) is How & Why.

SilverShine
 * Recommended by wanderingbark
 * An amazing author who writes beautifully. She has several longer stories that are mostly Kakashi/Sakura that are such refreshing reads. Highly recommended!

Advent of Shadows
 * Recommended by SEESWildCard
 * A great fanfic author who has also written an original fiction. At first wrote regular(non crossover) Naruto fanfiction he has recently started writing crossovers, mainly with Fairy Tail. His newest story is a One Piece/Naruto crossover. I highly recommend this author if what you enjoy are crossovers.

QuartzApple
 * Recommended by Springminera
 * An excellent author who writes mostly romance, among her work is a 60k ItaSasu story that is highly recommended for an interesting spin on the usual incest story, and an intensely funny and cute KakaIru story, still ongoing and provides a great introduction to the pairing... Has a pretty rapid chapter turnover if you don't like waiting.
