    I've heard that a lot of stories in the fantasy/sci-fi genre were cookie cutter copies of one another but are all our fantasy authors *gasp* actually clones of each other? [face_shocked]

    Stover, on the left, is not a clone:

    Or maybe he is:

    Alas, any job which requires you to sit around and choose your own hours...Well... :p

    At Celebration I ( moreso than II, it seems ), I saw enough overweight, balding men to last a lifetime.

    By the way...

    I didn't know that Rob Coleman wrote SW novels. Maybe he'll do a book on Yoda between AotC and Episode III! :D

    Hmmm, I don't see how ADF or Keyes really fit the rest of the lot. Maybe the DNA was mixed and they mutated during the cloning process. :D

    I noticed this last year as well. There were many synomanous characteristics of SW authors. They all have goatees/beards, and are mature middle age.

    Perhaps SW publishers not only look at author accomplishments, but the individual hismelf? In any case, it's a redundant matter.

    Not to be insulting but doesn't Stover look like a terrioest? I mean he has the "I'm goin to kill you" look in his eyes.

    No wonder they all worship Mara. She's the type of girl that none of them could get a date with when they were in high school.
