This is a tough one. I've published 54 stories in a little over 6 years and I don't feel I can "rank" them, but I can list 10 that I think represent among the best, most popular, or most interesting of what I've written.
In alphabetical order:
https://literotica.com/s/hot-night-in-the-kitchen-with-sis. My incest/food porn story. I had fun with this one and I think it has some of my better writing.
https://literotica.com/s/in-the-hallway-1. The first story I wrote, and the second I published, and still my highest-rated story. A light BDSM story, based on what I thought was a clever idea. It placed second on best BDSM story for 2016.
https://literotica.com/s/late-night-on-the-loveseat-with-mom. Exactly what the title suggests. By far my most-viewed and most-favorited story. It's currently number 61 on the list of most favorited Literotica stories.
https://literotica.com/s/my-mom-is-a-hot-mom-ch-01. My only long multi-chaptered story. I had a ton of fun with this one and it was well received.
https://literotica.com/s/nude-day-running-adventure. A fun exhibitionist story with some whimsy.
https://literotica.com/s/penis-fish. My venture into erotic horror. Aliens in the form of penises. Totally twisted, and I'm proud of that.
https://literotica.com/s/slut-lessons-for-scotts-wife. This story was written at the request of a fan and his wife. I'm a big fan of "hot wife" stories and this was my attempt at a totally over-the-top foray into that world.
https://literotica.com/s/teddy-bear-5. My only contest winner. Best Toy story for 2021. A teddy bear that talks and fucks. What more can one say.
https://literotica.com/s/the-bullfighter-and-the-woman. My attempt, within the space of 750 words, to parrot Hemingway.
https://literotica.com/s/unwitting-porn-star-wife. Another sexy wife story, involving things I like such as the Internet, photography, and voyeurism.

I haven't read all your stories, but I did enjoy Nude Day Running Adventure, and of course the kinky Teddy Bear was great.

I like this idea more for getting story recommendations to read from many of you who's catalog I've been meaning to dig into.
Obviously it's impossible to read EVERYONE'S full library, but when I'm looking to read, this thread certainly is providing options.
I'll share a few of my own. Not ten, though. But these are the stories I feel best represent me as a writer.
The Jenna Arrangement Pt. 01
https://literotica.com/s/the-jenna-arrangement-pt-01
My third story ever, grew quickly into my longest series. But part 1 can very much stand alone.
The White Room
https://literotica.com/s/the-white-room-4
A Sci Fi/ Romance story. Sequel coming soon.
Go For Two
https://literotica.com/s/go-for-two
A swingers tale.
Caring For Carrie
https://literotica.com/s/caring-for-carrie
The first of what eventually become a three part incest story.
The Deal With Lara
https://literotica.com/s/the-deal-with-lara
A tale of an older guy who meets a young woman who makes Adult Content for Only Fans.
I think these provide a variety and would give someone a good idea of my style of storytelling.

I need more stories here before I could honestly rank them. I think my best writing was in a story that's not here, but which I also have very complex feeling over now as I dislike the premise of it.
Right now I'm thinking:
1. How I met My Naked Alien Girlfriend - might be strong bias as this is new.
2. AI Girl - my first and most liked story. When I read it now I spot things that need some editing. But it has some solid emotional impact to me, even now.
3. Ebony and Jewel of Desire - readers don't like this one too much. And it is a little sloppy in places. But the character and premise are very key to me and reflect on another story that's been inwork for me since 2003...
4. First Contact - I think readers now like this most among my stories. It purposefully has a lot of exposition though. It's setting up the 'world' for a bunch of other stories I have and am continuing to write. I'm not a fan of exposition, but I needed to write this one so I would have the 'glue' for the others. Still, I managed to sneak in a lot of character and plot to keep myself happy with the end result.
5. Nun-thing to worry about. I actually like this one a lot despite it being my lowest ranked story. But I also feel it's too short at 2000 words, and suspect this is why it ranks lower. The story I've been working on since yesterday continues this one, and is 33,176 words right now, and only just started 'chapter 2'. So in that story I will get to 'say and do' all the things this one would have if it hadn't been written for a '2000 word challenge' on a 'naked fiction' site.
There's one more story of mine on this site. Which I strongly dislike despite it having good scores. In fact I plan to delete it as soon as I can get back to the rewrite... that rewrite is a story I like so much it threatens to re-rank all of the above.
As for the story not on this site that I think has my best writing. I mean that in terms of how strong of an emotional impact I was able to get in there, how detailed and character driven it was, and just overall quality of my craft when I put it together. But the setting and premise is absolutely toxic to me now... Eventually I will outdo that that story in writing skill in something else, and then I'll be able to forget about it. Until then it's like an albatross having over my creativity.

I think Cyrano was thinking more about which stories of our own we like more than others. Obviously, we like all the stories we've posted because, well, what's the point then?
To that end, these are the ones I still think about and occasionally re-read.
1. Cathy and Karate - The Beginning
One of my early stories about a loner at Uni, and how she lost her virginity. It's a mix of first / third person story telling with a character (Cathy) I really like, and another I was happy for her to punch in the face.
2. The Leinyere Farmer's Daughter
Written for the first "Tales of Leinyere" event. I had a ball helping to shape the world, then writing a story based on the old 'Travelling Salesman' joke.
3-5. Cricket Anyone? India vs Australia
Cricket Anyone? India's 2nd Innings
Cricket Anyone? The Third Man
I helped an Indian lady, Sweetdreamssss, edit, then develop her stories. Talking with her about the differences in Indian and Australian culture, I came up with these. Originally, it was just the one story about a blossoming romance, then it moved to a threesome, and finally a 3M-1F with three generations of a firefighting family giving Neha a TP.
Honourable mentions go to Keeping up with the Ruston-White's and Keeping Up at Cambridge. Two 750 word stories that went into Humour. The idea came from a 90s British comedy with a similar name. Short, but I still chuckle on a re-read.

I submit, by the way, that "bias" isn't always a bad thing. My ranking of my own work will absolutely present my biases. I'm okay with that. You can learn about yourself by being honest about your biases, owning up to them, and figuring out why you have them. I would actually argue that this is a key part of the creative process. It is inherently necessary to exercise "bias" in the process of writing and editing, and there is no reason one shouldn't also exercise it in judging one's own output.
Also, thanks to everyone for the ongoing responses! Delighted to see this thread catching on a bit, I'm looking forward to getting into everyone's stories.

An invitation to be utterly self-aggrandising? Why, thank you!
Alison Goes to London: a satirical-cum-romantic novel set in an an "Enlightened" future, where the pursuit of Pleasure has become the highest social ideal, "love" is eschewed or forbidden, and objectors are termed "Undesirable" and are driven into exile. Alison travels to London to study at the Royal Academy of Fucking, thinking that she is embarking upon the career move of her lifetime. But on the way she meets Rob - and gradually her worldview begins to crumble. Will she remain faithful to the "Enlightenment", or allow herself to swept up by "love"? George Orwell meets Jane Austen meets wild anal fucking.
The Cursed Cunt: Jimmy loves cunt. But one day he, um, bites off more than he can chew. Psycho horror meets crime procedural meets apocalyptic theology. A story of crime and redemption. And lots of cunt. Seriously, lots of cunt. Don't read this if you don't like cunt. You have been warned. (You do like cunt, don't you?)
Metamorphoses: a heart-warming lesbian love story, a meeting-place of myths: Daphne, Leukippos and Apollo; Siegmund and Brünnhilde - through the tangled lives and loves of an opera-singing futanari and her sexologist lover.
The Princess and the Cuntsman, or, "Snow White and the Seven Dildos". You know the story. Now meet the dildos.
Fuck-Talk: If you like to say "fuck", then fucking read this fucking story. You won't fucking regret it, fucker. (Humour and satire, BTW.)

This is true, but for the purposes of this thread, it doesn't matter. Nobody expects them to be unbiased. Even if biased, authors still probably have a pretty good idea which of their stories are of better quality or more appealing and it might be of interest to some to know what authors' opinions of their work are, regardless.

I took it to mean those works I am fond of, almost regardless of merit. So Waking Up is far from my best writing, but means a lot to me.
Of course there can be crossover.
Em
Let's see...
I'm going to mix in series and one-offs together, since I view all my series as long, hopefully cohesive stories.

- Alistaire and Alistaire Too - I feel that this story is my best mix of humor and character, and my best exploration of a Trope.
- Acting 101 - By far my best romance.
- A Reputation - My best, most ridiculous, pure comedy.
- The Roommates Down the Hall - I like this one personally. It has just a whiff of (wishful) autobiography.
- Summer Storm - I think I got some actual visceral writing done in this one.
- April Freaking Fools - This one was really hard to write, but since it won a prize, it must be good, right? Right?
- One-Way Glass - There is so much sex in this one that I literally ran out of ideas...
- Backyard MILF - The short series is another examination of a Trope. I wish I had had more ideas to extend this series.
- Dungeons & Dicks - This group sex story was fun to write, but has a limited audience of D&D geeks.
- Camp Counselors - Ah, summer camp...

3. Falling - I really loved Isla as a character; I put a lot of my younger self into her.
2. Walking with Sam - my "youngest" - created out of a strange mix of nostalgia and I-don't-know-what, coupled with having music stuck in my head for a month or more. It's a very simple story in a lot of regards, and very Fairytale in terms of its ending, but I enjoyed writing it.
1. On the Simplicity of Words - totally over the top, death, loss, the whole toot, and the yardstick by which everything else gets measured and probably will for the rest of my "career". Clearly I struck a chord with it because the number of messages I got was insane. I speak under correction but I also think this was the first time I ever gave my characters a specific happy-ever-after; Lea had had an awful time of it and I couldn't leave it there; it didn't sit well with me.

I have exactly ten stories on this site (in 34 chapters) so my top-10 is easy, but I'll just give three:
Loss Function. Written for the AI Challenge back when GPT was still a fresh topic of conversation ;-) Part sci-fi noodling about what defines personhood and the point where the rising AI meets the falling ape; part about loving flawed people; part about whether readers in the Romance category would stomach a story where covid is a significant presence and where the love interest dies. (Apparently they would.)
I have mixed feelings about this one. People who I trust tell me it's one of my best, but it's taken me a while to be happy with it. I think what happened here was that I set myself quite a few challenges, and the readers see the ones I succeeded at, and I'm aware of the bits that could've been done better.
Anjali's Red Scarf. The seed for this was my partner sitting in a café and overhearing a conversation between an older man and a younger woman discussing the terms of their sugar-daddy arrangement. I wanted to explore the complexity of something that starts as a friendship before becoming a paid relationship, and say something about how not every relationship has to end in "forever after" to be a good thing. Also ended up being a fair bit of self-expression, with a relationship between two autistic people.
The Floggings Will Continue...: inspired by an article about an organisation offering "cuddle a co-worker" sessions as part of a corporate team-building experience. I challenged myself to make this even more fucked up than it already was, while making an outlandish scenario seem at least vaguely plausible. One of my favourite villains to write here.

Yiyiyiyiyiyiyi fun fun fun. I love some of my own stories and I even re-read them every now and then. 77 stories in 7 years, and 3 or 4 more coming this year to make it 80 for 8. And my own Top Ten favorites? What an invitation.... Let's see...
Tales From Old Shanghai - Okay, what can I say. My #1. 1930's Shanghai, the chaos of war, a girl who loses her family and does what she needs to do to survive, as so many Chinese had to, back in that era. Chuntao is another character that's very close to me, and when I was writing that, it was almost as if I was Chuntao and I was telling her story. I wrote it as fast as I could type, and it just poured out with barely any thought at all.
I Married a Heptapod - I love this one. It cracks me up every time. I got sick of all the tentacle-erotic-horror stories, and I wanted to write a tentacle romance, where the two main characters fall in love, and it just went from there. Stardust Wong is one of my favorite characters, and I do plan a few more stories with Stardust and Ziggy.
One Night in Xanadu - Just as it says - this was written for the "One Night in XXX" story event, and I had a lot of fun with it. Altani is another of my characters that I love, and I'm definitely going to expand on this somewhere down the line.
Huginn's Yule - This is another one that just poured out, and its largely a historical novel with a sex scene that's in there because it was written for Literotica but its not really needed. A Chinese princess on and epic journey across the steppe from China to the Scandinavia of Beowulf.
Welcome to Nockatunga Station - This one had it's genesis in a writing workshop I spent a day at back in 2016, and we had to come up with an outline of a short story in 15 minutes. I outlined the space station, the alien masseur, the paralysis and use as a brood-host in that 15 minutes and ended up writing it out as a Sci-Fi erotic horror story that I still really like.
September Blue - I cried all the way through writing this, and I still cry every time I re-read it.
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - I rather deliberately set out to write this story about a Thai bargirl, and a lot of it was because I was bugged by some of the stories on Lit about Thai bargirls and sex. The sex industry is not romantic at all, a lot of Thai bargirls and hookers get into it for economic reasons, or they're sold into it by their families, and I really wanted to write a rather more gritty story about the hopes and dreams and hopelessness of life as a Thai bargirl.
Halloween in the Cemetery - Probably close to the shortest and tightest story I've written but I was really pleased with this as a little piece of erotic horror written on the fly. Sometimes I have no idea where my stories come from, this one just popped up out of nowhere and out it came.
My Valentine - Another tearjerker that was meant to be rather longer than it is. I really wanted to get into that hostility that some families have to racial intermarriage, and this one was a take on that with a happy ending.
And writing as Unity Mitford - "And the Snow Fell" - I wrote this one in about 4 weeks back in 2018 as a dystopian Sci-Fi story, and for any of you that've read S. M. Stirling's Draka series, that was partly an inspiration for this, as was Jerry Pournelle's "Future History" to some extent. George Robert Elford's "Devil's Guard" was also something of an inspiration, as were a few books on the Spanish Civil War. It was a pretty depressing story to write, but I think I managed to convey a lot of what I wanted. Looking back, the sex is actually largely out of place and it'd read much better without it. I did a sequel or two and this next one, "Blood Of My Enemies" was, I think, the best of them.

I will say I am absolutely tickled at the progress I've made as a writer since I started posting here.
Freya Save Me! Viking berserker story. This was my first story I'd written and then kind of let simmer before editing.
Sundays I honestly just love this one because of the inordinate amount of time I spent trying to decide if it should go in Romance or Anal. Plus it's a mostly true story and I think we all enjoy sharing those.
Her Beast I adore any French Fairy Tale that I can smut up.
I Like Your Shoes Just really miss those shoes. And that hot tub.
My Fire Pixie Y'all, it's almost mushroom season!
️
Okay, I'll stop now.
