Why does this topic need a poll in the first place? People can just post who they like.

Out of those four, Agatha Christie. But in reality, Sir Terry Pratchett is the closest thing I have to God and if you add him to the poll please add a "remove vote" option so I can revote for him.

The thing is that he can't add the remove vote option after the poll was created (and even if a mod adds it, every time the poll will be edited, the remove vote option will disappear again), which is why this poll is problematic.
Tolkien by the way.

Out of the options, ACD. I love Christie too, but I grew up reading mostly ACD's short stories.
then there's Tolkien, Stieg Larsson, Bram Stoker, Stevenson, Ian Flemming and Robert Ludlum. I can name a handful Victorian writers whose works I love also.

Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, O. Henry, Bram Stoker, Isaac Asimov, Dashiell Hammett, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Dickson Carr, Dean Koontz, Stephen King (typing that out made me realize I do seem to have a preference).
Out of the choices, Doyle, but Christie is an extremely close second.

I'd also like to put Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin, Bill Shakespeare and Scott Westerfield among my favourite authors.

She's an inspiration to all aspiring writers. After all, if
that steaming heap of shite can get published, how hard can it be?

For that matter, I think the picture book I made in 1st grade for an in-school contest was a better work of literature than that... thing.
*cough* Anyways... Tamora Pierce has been my favorite author since 4th or 5th grade.
