I write like...
Just a funny thing that a friend of mine posted on another forum. Copy and paste any text you've written, and it will analyze your writing style and match it with that of a famous author.
Plug your latest post into the machine, and have fun!

Coincidentally, I saw this on another forum just earlier today. It is indeed fun.
((that statement came up with 'Dan Brown')). I like also how posting the word "derp" over and over again resulted in 'James Fennimore Cooper'. Here's the link, btw. http://iwl.me/

Here I am P G Wodehouse. On another forum I frequent I am H G Wells. I think I'm fairly happy with both of those.

I put in a couple of 1-2 line posts from message boards, and I got answers as different as Dan Brown, Stephen King, Mark Twain, and H.P. Lovecraft. However, when I put in two long-ish pieces of "prose" (if you can call it that) that I wrote a while back, it gave me David Foster Wallace both times.

I fed it my as yet unpublished No Nonsense Nonsonnets one by one. They come out as either Kurt Vonnegut or David Foster Wallace. (2 of each) Interestingly, I can see the differences that tip it one way or the other. Not heard of David Foster Wallace. Any recommendations on something he wrote.
I did get a single J K Rowling reading but that would appear to be an anomaly because the particular poem contains words that look a bit like her spell names.

suddenly I find myself wishing it would say "you write like a dairy farmer" so I could reply "how appropriate, you write like a cow"

Apparently Dostoyevsky (as you English write the name...) writes like Charles Dickens... Or maybe it's the translator. Anyways, a different passage got Leo Tolstoy. Getting closer... Now I'll put the whole text, let's see...
Yep, Tolstoy. |

Terminal Monday rated me as James Joyce. Some of my old LINKTales fic got me rated as Dan Brown. My personal blog got me rated as Margaret Atwood. I should keep trying until I get Douglas Adams or Philip K. Dick.
ETA: The first three chapters of The Bride of War got me Kurt Vonnegut. That'll do. ETA2: And Terminal Monday is apparently a lot like Cory Doctorow. Not having read him, I'm not sure I agree, but it IS flattering, nonetheless. Last edited by Lee in Limbo; 07-20-2010 at 01:42 PM. |
