Hi guys!
Well, since many of you encouraged me to do another survey, here it is!;-) As I mentioned before, I had officially run out of ideas. But some people submitted suggestions, and this is one of them. Personally, I am persuaded that Robin Hobb will easily take the cake. But it will be interesting to see who else will make the list. . .
As always, feel free to vote here or own your regular message board. I'll compile the results in about a week!

Bradley's "Mists of Avalon" is the best fantasy novel by a woman I've ever read. Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel series is the best trilogy. Leguin and Hobb also belong on the very short list. Bujold is one of my all time favorites for SF, but as a fantasy writer isn't at the top. Some will hesitate to list Rowling, on the theory that writers that popular can't really be good, but she is.
