The ad also challenged our readers to submit their own biographies of H.D., with the winner receiving a copy of the Antares plug-in of his or her choice. Herewith are the results. Jim Bordner's winning entry tickled the judges' fancy with a piquant mixture of modeling references and deft literary allusion. The real Wells designed an algorithm that analyzed his own writing and then produced new essays and stories based on the styles of other popular writers of the time. Tim Story, of Maumee, Ohio, shows once again that while political satire might not be everyone's cup of tea, a little double entendre can always be counted on as a sure thing.

Michael H.D. Wells, nicknamed Mic, had an ability to sound like many. Steve Lovelace's entry was officially disqualified for exceeding the 100 word limit, but since we can't resist a good Dick Clark reference, we're including it here anyway. After accidentally leaving a wireless microphone in his father's time machine, H.D. compiled sounds emitted from one time period and echoed into another, thereby analyzing the transmission effects across parallel universes. His breakthrough led to a collaboration with Antares on the Time Distressor. The unit sold billions, revolutionized the way studios worked, and changed the face of music forever.
