Back in the day, WJW used to post to RASFW. There were some
hope-filled inquires about at third book in the Metropolitan
series. It's too bad that didn't come about.

No doubt I'm forgetting some.
Eric Flint would drop in from time to time for a couple of years(?).
IIRC, Jo Walton posted here from time to time.
As did Lois McMaster Bujold, Steve Miller, Matthew Hughes, and even
Damon Knight, way back when (with 1-2 annoying habits, iirc).

Not sure if I will include his historical novels or not.
I enjoyed his Dread Empire's Fall series with the third book the best.
The Accidental War, Praxis 1, was good but Fleet Elements disappointing
with much redundancy and similarity to Dread Empire's Fall.
Quillifer did not appeal to me at all but Metropolitan and City on Fire
were brilliant four star reads. I do not remember the poster(s) but I am
sure he was recommended to me here.
With the exception of Quillifer (which I have not read), my WJW
experience matches yours very well. As such, I highly recommend Aristoi
(a stand-alone).

He mentioned it on his blog as recently as 2022.
