Wondermark's wonderful Genre Fiction Generator

(Thanks, David!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    @1 specifically Neil Stephenson.

    Fortunately he’s so entertaining I could read this stuff forever. Hmm, if we could get him to write large chunks of prose corresponding to these topics I may never have to buy a book again.

    I am not sure that I agree with the role of women in the graph. Scratch that, it is totally wrong. * Sits down and waits for the controversy to start. *

    LOL. Can I borrow the shovel when your done?

    @Alec: It’s probably a flowchart for male writers. Female writers just need to reverse the roles and add more romance branches.

    Unfortunately, a large fraction of SF/Fantasy seems to have been written using exactly such a framework…
