"I Write like"

[Voxezi]

I Write Like [http://iwl.me/] is a website that "analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers."

Apparently, I write like Dan Brown, Margaret Atwood, Vladmir Nabokov, H.P Lovecraft, and Kurt Vonneget.

Edit: Oh, and apparently Stephen King.

So, who do you write like?

[kadoatie]

Dan Brown, Margaret Atwood, Vladmir Nabokov

Did you get these three with the same input..?

[Voxezi]

No.

All separate.

And no, I'm not lying.

Some I wrote a long time ago, one yesterday.

 

[Ryuu2]

Dan Brown?

 

Who's he?

[Voxezi]

Dunno.

Apparently something about the Renaissance.

[soupnazi]

When I put in the first few paragraphs of an older work, it said that I, like Ryuu, write like Dan Brown. Then I tried something newer that was supposed to be one of those 1930s detective stories, and apparently my writing in that was like J.K. Rowling.

Huh.

[Fancypants]

I write like

Mark Twain

 

Funny, because I basically wrote what Kanye West said to Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards.

[Dr. Paine]

Robot stories: Gertrude Stein/Arthur C. Clarke.

 

Portal fanfic: William Gibson

 

Subject Fourteen: STEPHEN KING!

 

Misc story: J.K. Rowling! (Whoo, my two serious works get two of my favorite authors!)

 

Zoey's Story: David Foster Wallace.

 

It's Not Silver: Douglas Adams (yey :>)

 

Soul Jars: Mark Twain.

[crazywargod]

Mario Puzo

[kadoatie]

According to the Gawker article linked from its blog, someone put in a chapter by David Foster Wallace and got Nabokov.

[ponypowers2]

I just wrote a few random paragraphs about a little story I quickly made up. I write like Margaret Atwood.

 

I looked her up online and got "She is among the most-honoured authors of fiction in recent history..."

 

I feel special(:

[Shaddowwarrior]

Almost only Dan Brown.

 

Never heard of him, hur. :3

I got her, too!

[Cybele]

I got H. P. Lovecraft from a short story I wrote a while ago

[Stromboli]

Dang it.

I just ran my fan fics.

The only author whose style I managed to properly mimic is Stephenie Meyer's. This wounds me. D:

[Teslyn]

haha apparently i write like:

 

Vladmir Nabokov (got him a few times...)

Ursula K. Le Guin

 

 

... THIS DOES NOT WORK. it is a lie.

because i got stephenie meyer too, and coincidentally it was on the thing i wrote about a hungry vampire considering suicide -- but i swear i'm not nearly as shxitty a writer as meyer ):

[Konayuki of the Spirits]

i got J. D. Salinger. Who's that? D:

[Zovesta]

Apparently I write like Chuck Palahniuk. Must pick up one of his books when I go to the library and skim it. o3o

[Konayuki of the Spirits]

I analyzed another work of mine and got Stephen King! <3

[Zovesta]

I apparently also write like Dan Brown and Stephen King and Harry Harrison. Just from putting in different chapters.

 

... Lol.

[pluk_dolphin25000]

me? Stephen king...

[RubyRed74]

I put in new, in-progress writing and it said I wrote like Charles Dickens. I put in work from earlier in January and it said I write like Stephen King. Writing from last year gave me Margaret Atwood.

[afie]

i only had two very short and unfinished stories at hand but from them i got Stephen King and Cory Doctorow

[Googleplaxin]

I just put in the opening paragraph of my story (which is floating around Original Works somewhere), and got..

Stephen King

 

Fwee :3

 

Another chapter:

Charles Dickens

 

And another:

Cory Doctorow
