Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] redbrunja : Which fantasy writer are you?...

Philip Pullman (b.1946)

I find this interesting, as the only Pullman book I liked was The Golden Compass, mostly because of how Lyra, who I really liked in the first book, fares in the rest; I also liked the whole religious cynicism thing Pullman had going on in the series far better when I read it in 90s Vertigo comics. ;)

I love Tolkien, and enjoy C.S. Lewis (The Screwtape Letters, anyone?)

I definitely am on the high-brow side I suppose, because I don't care so much about popular appeal, but rather what I personally enjoy writing; besides, I'm a pretentious art nerd that draws inspiration from fine art sometimes when writing smut. For example, I was thinking of decadent 19th-century paintings of odalisques reclining on pillows when picturing Sakura's posture in The Pursuit of Perfection, for the symbolism as well as the poses.
