There's a relatively short writers' list who comes up. Did anyone ever counted all of them? I had various paragraphs of my book tested. The results? Same as most everyone with experimenting with it: Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, Vladimir Nabokov, Sheakspeare, David Foster Wallace, Dan Brown, Oscar Wilde, Isaac Asimov, Chuck Palahniuk, L. Frank Baum, Dickens, James Joyce, Artur C. Clarke, Kurt Vonnegut, William Gibson, Arthur Conan Doyle. Were there any names I've missed? I have to believe that this site’s base is very limited.

What a sentence means to me can be different from what it means to you. Imagination is a wonderfulf thing, think about it!
