Love goes crazy, given time

And just to prove that I'm alive, a silly quiz.

(Cut for gender confusion.)

I am: James Tiptree, Jr. (Alice B. Sheldon) In the 1970s she was perhaps the most memorable, and one of the most popular, short story writers.  Her real life was as fantastic as her fiction.

Which science fiction writer are you?

I am also informed that copies of Postcards from the Province of Hyphens shipped today. So while I still cannot explain what happened with my chapbooks (I can only make threatening noises at my publisher, and hope he'll take care of it), I can at least indicate that you might soon receive poetry. This would be cool all round.

I actually emailed oldcharliebrown this weekend about this (and a few other things, and he said that the printer kept trimming the size of your chapbook wrong. So it has been delayed, but should be out soon.

Thanks!

I came out Chip Delany, which is cool.

Definitely. He does almost as much weirdness to the English language as you.

[nineweaving.livejournal.com]

But he wins hands down on Talmudic beardness.

All things considered, that's probably okay.

Hey, I'm Phillip K. Dick.

Not bad :)

[sovay]

Not bad at all. : )

Apparently I'm Arthur C. Clark. Haven't the foggiest what that means.

Well, your novel The Deep Range had a profound effect on me in elementary school. I thought about it every time I visited the New England Aquarium.

Aha.

I got David Brin who is not someone I'm framiliar with, but his books sound interesting just from glancing at a website about them.

[sovay]

I don't think I've read anything of his: let me know how they are!

I like Brin's short stories a lot, but in his novels he ends up being sufficiently sexist that I can't appreciate his many fine ideas.

I got Delany, too.

I tried to jiggle the test so it would come out John Norman, but I got Jerry Pournelle instead.

[sovay]

Honestly, I think it's okay you're not John Norman . . .

[hans-the-bold.livejournal.com]

True, but being Jerry Pournelle is just as frightening. So I took the test answering the questions truthfully and came out as Gregory Benford. Not as good as Greg the Bunny, but I'll take what I can get.
