Which Science Fiction Writer Are You? I got Ursula K. LeGuin, which is cool because she is one of the authors I am modeling myself after. ^_^

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

I''m Samuel Delany, except for the Santa Claus beard and the glasses and the bit about being a science fiction writer. Ok, why don''t you just give the "broad commercial success with aggressively experimental prose techniques" and you got a deal.

Hal Clement.

Which is weird. He died not too long ago, but used to be a regular at a local SF convention I go to every year... and I never got around to reading any of his books.
