Stapledon is one of the few SF authors I strongly dislike. I got Olaf Stapledon, which convices me that the answers are generated randomly. Stapledon is one of the few SF authors I strongly dislike.

I failed the Moon Survival Challenge miserably with 42% (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/moon). Oddly that's the same rating I get for my effectiveness as a human shield (http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/view2/human_shield). But Frank Herbert? That I can live with.

I was hoping for Heinlein, and figured I am a lot like my favorite author, so I was a shoo-in. I guess I'm not altogether disappointed though. While she was probably insufferable at parties, she turned out to be right about a lot of things. You know, disregarding the weird female subservient thing. I am Ayn Rand. I was surprised.

I have no objection to that, but I get the feeling I'm more like Philip K. Dick even though Heinlein is my favorite SF author. I wouldn't want to be Heinlein though, except for his writing skills from the 1950s. I wish I could write something as great as Timescape. I’m Gregory Benford.

Thanks for the link. Stars must be aligning in my favor, as apparently I'm Tiptree/Sheldon. I should be so lucky. And have such an outstanding jelly jar of a nom de plume. Oh that was fun!
