No love for Dave Eggers? A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was so so excellent, and there were sentences in You Shall Know Our Velocity! that made me weep with joy.

Good choice (I actually did not read any of the Redwall Series, but I watched the heck out of the PBS adaption.)

There's a lot of authors here I love so I'll mention one who isn't here.

Christopher Moore.

He writes fantastic, absurd, loving stories.

Graphite girl in archive of our own and Freedom Guard in fanfiction.net

Older than you asked for but I'd vote for Mervyn Peake

Then one that enjoyed but never heard that much about was Sophia McDougall
