Sci Fi Writer Meme

Posted By ***Dave On In Books,Personality Tests | 14 Comments

Heh.

I am:

Robert A. Heinlein

Beginning with technological action stories and progressing to epics with religious overtones, this take-no-prisoners writer racked up some huge sales numbers.

Which science fiction writer are you? [1]

Well, I can think of worse choices.

Huh. And I just reread his first four juveniles, and am about to start Variable Star, the book Spider Robinson finished.

So who’s this author I’ve never heard of that I got saddled with?
I am:

Octavia E. Butler

A voice truly unique in all of literature.

Never heard of her, either, though there are plenty of authors I’ve not heard of. [4].

It could be worse. Like Ayn Rand.

Ewwww. I may go shoot myself now.

And you guys have never heard of Octavia Butler?!?

Xenogenesis if I remember correctly.

Please don’t shoot yourself De.

But rather ask yourself what Dagney Taggert would do…which is shot everyone else. ;P

Oh, the name was vaguely familiar, but have never read anything by her.

Cory Doctorow (of BoingBoing) is also Heinlein.

That’s very uplifting.

Don’t feel bad, De, I was Ayn Rand too. 😛 And Dave, there’s a special place in hell for people who make puns like that. Save me a seat. 🙂

Ayn Rand?

*shrug*

Maybe we should make up bumper stickers: “WHO IS AYN RAND?”

Octavia Butler had a very solid reputation in the SF world – when she died recently, there was a fair amount of notice taken. Odd that none of us have ever read her stuff, though.

Wish me luck! I’m off to crash the Sci Fi Writer Quiz server!

I came out as Arthur C. Clarke. An interesting quiz.

But my objection is that Ayn Rand is not a science fiction author! So there.

I’m Arthur C Clark, too. Interesting, since I’ve propably read more of his work than any other the other choices.
