Gio actually archives fic at QE. There are a few author's page links but most of the stories are archived at the QE site. I used it a lot because Gio and I tend to have the same taste in fic (hot smut and happy endings!).
I don't know any of the new people. I got so fried by the post S5 wank that I had to take a fandom vacation, and by the time I started paying attention again nearly all the people I knew and trusted for fic had stopped writing it (if anyone knows what fandom Tricia is writing in now, please tell me!). I did read a few writers that were recced at first(like xie_xie_xie), but I think you hit it when you said the tone had changed. Then I got into McShep and they sort of kudzued over everything else in my brain and I kind of stopped trying to read the new QaF stuff. The only one I was still following was Plum's BTYBR, but I got lost about ten or so chapters back and have no idea what's going on anymore.
