Which Science Fiction Writer Are You?

[Strelnikov]

I found this site and took the test.

Turns out I'm Robert A. Heinlein! Well, I'm bald, mustachioed and grumpy like he was, and I'm pretty sure that he was "one of us", but I won't pretend to be in his class as a writer. Still, looking back over my more serious stories, I can see the RAH influence, and that's no bad thing.

Come on, the rest of you, especially my fellow authors. Which Science Fiction writer are YOU?

My writing style is kinda like F. Herbert's, although my personal life had been a lot more like Hemingway's.

This was a nice little diversion. Thanks, Strel.

I was shooting for Asimov, but apparently I'm some guy I never heard of.
