The line separating oceans, genre and authors...

You've seen the picture of "the oceans that meet, and the visible line separating them."

Well, it seems this is a fallacy;

What about authors and their preferred genre?

I wondered today if us writers become physically stereotyped to the more common genre we focus on, and if this is the case, what would each author look like?

What are the benchmarks of each typical type of story?

Is Witchcraft (JK Rowling) - a petite vaguely bored blonde woman with glasses?

What about whodunits? (Arthur Conan Doyle) A stern man with thick moustache, white shirt, tie and pocketwatch?

Romance authors. (Nora Roberts) Are they all well dressed, mature women in fashionable suits, with wavy hair styles, and heavy made-up gazes?

Lawyer / Wall street fiction writers. (John Grisham) Expert but carefully understated grooming, direct analysing stance, brown clothing.

Fan Fiction. Teenager, bruised eyes, hyperactive, strange sleeping patterns, random emotional outbursts, eats lots of 2 minute meals in a cup. Likes Happy Socks.

Blogger. Oddball. Different sized eyes. Laughs at inappropriate times.
Loses most good writing from forgetting to save it. Stares blankly and has few friends. Had lots of friends but they grew tired of no response.
