I love Baen so much I want to marry them, but Jo Walton doesn't write for them, for starters.

Unfortunately true. But, OTOH, I had never read any Eric Flint, and the Baen Free Library let me try 1632 and I'm HOOKED. And I'm now going through and re-reading all the Liaden Universe books. And you know, I suspect I can wait a long time before I run out of books to read that I
want to read. But if I do, perhaps I'll look at a TOR author. But then again, perhaps not. Or perhaps by then they'll wake up and smell the roses. Or, wait, was that a porcine aviator I just saw?
