self exploration - science fiction

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 think they gave me a fake answer. It said I'm somewhere between Lovecraft and Al Gore. What the hell? I wouldn't even consider Lovecraft sci fi....

(Editor's note: The joke here is that Al Gore is full of more shit than a Tijuana sewer during Spring Break. Very subtle as always.)

errr - i hate to admit ignorance, but i dunno who Alice is. [i suppose il google her later..]

I never could get the hang of Lovecraft... not scary enough / or at all, for that matter.

I like Lovecraft because of the way he writes. If I wanted scary I'd read something from Oprah's book club.

don't waste your money on Gore's movie. It's a load of shit--propeganda even. Besides, when that hypocrite was touring the country in his jet, it burned enough gas to keep a Hummer fueled up for a year.

i like stephen king and pratchett for the way they write. ditto, anne rice, but it can get a bit much with the decadent describing.

I havnt read enough lovecraft yet to give a reasonable opinion - just a couple of short stories.

when i read classic horror stories [which arent that scary most of the time], it's funny how few original ideas there are in hollywood today.

You two need to get a room or something.

Maybe you need to read a book, badger. I suggest anything by Martha Stewart.

I ended up as Cordwainer Smith, who I've never heard of and looks like a goober. http://mrmessy.blogspot.com/2007/02/superbowl-warmup-post.html

I'm still getting over it..
