#PennedPossibilities 505: Name a handful of authors who inspired you over the years.
I'm going to limit myself to five:
Samuel R. Delany (AKA Chip), Ada Palmer, Roger Zelazny, Octavia E. Butler, Doug Adams
I picked each of these not because they're all my favorite authors (though some definitely are). I picked them more because of what they did / do with the medium of prose fiction and how that inspires my own attempts to use the medium in interesting ways.
Zelazy may seem like an odd choice if you've read his more mainstream work. Lord of Light and his contributions to Deus Irae are how he got on my inspiration list.
