Pretty sure they're identical, actually. Little differences in identical twins is possible. A good example of this is Tia and Tamera Mowry from Twitches and Sister Sister. They are both exactly identical except for the fact that one has a mole on her face and the other has a mole near her neck. Then there's Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who have a different build but are otherwise identical.

Identical twins are born by one cell getting split into two. Once they're two separate cells they start forming into identical forms, but it's possible for little things to get messed up or differ, like a mole or an extra finger.

Also, as for the last part of your comment Mr B Natural: lol. Six-fngeredness (is that a real word?) is an actual condition some people have, and it's because of a gene (which is dominant, by the way). I guess I could see your thing happening too, but I like the idea of Author acquiring his finger through supernatural means:

Author: Ha! You're not real! You're a figment of my imagination!

Bill: If I was a figment of your imagination, could I do this (Author grows an extra finger on each hand)

Okay, that was terrible, but you know what I mean...

I think it's more likely just a genetic thing. I know people with webbed toes, I know a person with six toes... lot of people with weird toe-stuff going on.
