Sounisian's Favourite Authors

[pigrescuer.livejournal.com]

Here's an interesting experiment.

Inspired by octopirock's entry here, where some authors, I'm sure,should be closer (Dianna Wynne Jones, for example, or Lois McMaster Bujold)I was wondering how it would turn out if it was based on us.

So, comment with your favourite authors and we can see what happens. The more times a name is mentioned, the more popular his autho should be with the Sounisian crowd

Oh, and please write like this:

MeganWhalenTurner

I'll give it a week to collect enough names

ETA: You really don't need to add Megan's name. It kind of goes without saying in this community. And it'd dominate the whole thing

What a great idea! This list is a bit random – even cutting people out I still have a long list. And I don’t love them all as much as each other – maybe we need some sort of weighting system? :) Anyway…

Lol well i guess you could weight by repeating their names - this works on the number of times a word is repeated (also means if people spell the name wrong it won't work)
