  Here, I'll help you out. These are the two questions I assumed would be asked right away:

  1. what is your profession?
  2. what is a brief summary of the plot from your most famous story?

  Note that no proper names are asked for with these questions, meaning I must answer them by the guidelines of the game. Each question taken together necesarily involves getting all of the information needed to answer.

  And now that I've given the needed questions, the answer is Edgar Allen Poe. The problem with nearly every question asked so far is that they are based upon a guess and they do not narrow the possible answers in any substantial way.

  LOL..had I asked #2 this thread would've been over and you'd be off to sleep. I don't know, I just wanted to make it last, so then

  if you don't mind, could you give us a brief summary of your most famous story.

  Many consider this to be my most famous story. A man is throw into a dark pit. He can neither see his captors nor the walls of his cell, but he fumbles around in the dark. Later, he awakens to see a giant pendulum swinging back and forth and being lowered towards him. He's tied and bound in place. He sees rats. The rats eventually chew the cloth that is binding him and he escapes the descending pendulum. The pendulum is withdrawn, and the walls begin closing in, forcing him to the center of the room. There is a pit in the center of the room, and it is deep. He drops a torch and watches it fall and fall and fall without hitting the bottom. The walls are going to close in and push him into this pit. Finally, as he's about to go in, the millitary arrives and arrests his captors, and he is freed.
