(Ahem)...
Well, it's that time again.
Time to show the world what we're made of.
I'm thinking Velveeta cheese and Spam.
There are more things in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Horatio, then are drempt of in your sports casts.
Evidentlly, that paragraph means I write like Kurt Vonnegut.
I tried a number of pieces and came up with a fairly even spread of: Douglas Adams, Stephen King, and Arthur C. Clarke. I think that it pays more attention to the words you use than the actual content, which makes sense for what has to be a fairly simple system.
I submitted some writings of mine and the answer I got was H P Lovecraft. :smile:
I write like David Foster Wallace. He hung himself a couple of years ago, so I guess there's an opening.
I hope I write like skull... :)
I "analyzed" three different pieces and got three different writers: Jonathan Swift, David Foster Wallace, and Edgar Allan Poe. Go figure.
I got Cory Doctorow.
WHO?
:question:
lol
I've just entered the first 11 lines from my first book Lifelines and its says "I write like Stephen King" :bouncegiggle:
I also got David Foster Wallace, which is nice because he's an influence of mine. Two other pieces brought up H.P. Lovecraft, probably because they were reviews of sci fi/horror films.
I put in 3 separate items and got 3 different answers too. For a few paragraphs from a short story, I also got David Foster Wallace. For a full TV File review of a classic Outer Limits episode, I got Edgar Allan Poe and for a poem, I got Bram Stoker.
Here's a fun game!:
Edgar Allan Poe writes like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writes like Kurt Vonnegut.
Kurt Vonnegut writes like Cory Doctorow.
Cory Doctorow writes like David Foster Wallace.
etc.
:twirl:

Your Badge

Stephen King
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!
I wonder if I can make a great career???
:cheers:
HMMM
Later,

My plot description of Battlefield Earth sounded written like Robert Louis Stevenson?
How the plot of Heinlein's Puppet Master was like Gertrude Stein is almost as big a mystery as how my review of Zardoz sounds like James Joyce...
I submitted two different stories to it. One said I write like David Foster Wallace, the other said I write like Stephen King.
Cory Doctorow
Using my latest movie review (Bug) and submitting the first 4 paragraphs not including the opening, I have discovered that I write like Stephen King.
Then I decided to add a fan fiction story I wrote a couple years back and it said that I write like Dan Brown.
Finally, I decided to add parts of latest original story I just finished as of today and it said I'm Stephen King. Heh, interesting! I certianly moved up.
Now I must go and write the next big horror story!
Note: Just for giggles, I submitted the text above and it said I was Cory Doctorow. Who the heck is that?!
I write like 'Jack London'
never heard of him :question:
I'm working on my second short story that's quite different. When I'm finished I'm seeing what it says then.

I will forgive you sense I know you're not from the U.S. He's a classic American writer of adventure stories ("The Call of the Wild"). Students are often forced to read him in high school.

Ahh, thanks, I guess that's good then :teddyr: And yes, we only have to read books from mainly Dutch writers in school. But all the books I voluntarily read in my spare time, I read in English and are from English/American authors. Mainly Stephen King and Elmore Leonard.
I got David Foster Wallace :teddyr:
Stephanie Myers...I kid, I kid.
Dan Brown actually.

JACK LONDON is a great American writer of short stories and a few well-regarded novels like
The Sea Wolf, that were innovative in their time and mostly about the Northwest, the Yukon, the struggle for survival.
My analysis says:
DAVID FOSTER WALLACE,
H.P. LOVECRAFT, and
VLADIMIR NABOKOV... writing selections taken from my online Amazon reviews:
