The thing with writers on the blogosphere is, we like to spread the cat-waxing around. So, per me, a quiz and another quiz's result (which will surely take you to the quiz if you like, as they always do.
What Your Art Taste Says About You
Fun for mere visual pleasure: quite a few new masterpieces to me, so this was probably put together by someone who new what they were doing... and they definitely added some nice non-Western genres.

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days.
Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Last, I have no idea what this is worth, but since it's a starting author in my in-box I think it's worth a little promo from me:
m_stiefvater is part of a little author's community The Merry Sisters of Fate (merry_fates ) and they are having a Halloween-themed contest for fabulous swag. I'm doing it. Do it with me, it'll be fun!
Here's what she said about it:
Okay. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, because it's creepy, packed with supernatural goodness, and involves staying up late. In honor of Halloween, we're having a Halloween short fiction contest over at the Merry Sisters of Fate (merry_fates ). It's a great opportunity to stretch your fictional muscles, show off your literary prowess, and maybe snag the grand prize.
The prompt is simply "Halloween" (be creative, dammit), and we'd prefer the word limit to between 600-2000, and the deadline is midnight on October 31st. Link back to the entry in Merry Sisters of Fate and we Sisters will commiserate over a pot of bubbling brains and other Halloween goodies to decide which one pleases us most. There is only one prize, but oh, what a prize, m'dears:
- a copy of the upcoming An Infinite Thread, the first Merry Sisters of Fate anthology, which features the best of the Sisters so far as well as three anthology-exclusive short stories, all packed with the supernatural, blood, and angst, as the Sisters' stories tend to be.
- a signed copy of Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception, and a CD with three of my songs that were inspired by Lament.
- a Merry Sisters of Fate t-shirt
(or a homicidal faeries T, your pick).
Oh, I am dazzled by the beauty of our prize. You guys up for it? What's to lose?
EDITED TO ADD: When I say the prompt is Halloween, I mean interpret it loosely, peeps: name your main character Halloween. Have each paragraph start with a letter in Halloween so it all adds up to the complete word. Have the character remember a catalyzing event that happened on a Halloween years ago. It doesn't have to be fantasy.
This is obviously a service to the writers around me...another contest to write for rather than polishing that manuscript!
I got past the first part of The Tempest, thinking it rather insipid stuff, what with the eyes calling to eyes, and what have you.
Enter snarky villain and fellow statesman, exchanging snide asides about the speeches of An Honest Old Councilor, who the grieving king is trying to shut up.
*LUV*
Oh Will, you never could be serious.
