"I Write like"

[KidaYuki]

A summery for a story of mine on fanfiction.net got: David Foster Wallace

 

the first chapter of that story got: Anne Rice

the latest chapter for that story (18) got: Dan Brown

 

a different story, in a different fandom on ff

 

first chapter: Anne Rice

latest chapter (3): Kurt Vonnegut

 

is it sad I have no idea who these people are?

[earwig]

You don't know who Dan Brown is?

 

o3o

[rainbowsmile]

I put a kind of medieval set/fantasy story of mine and got Jonathon Swift. Then I put a realistic fiction I've been working on, and got Cory Doctorow. Another medieval work as well as a random poem I wrote got Margaret Atwood.

No clue who any of those are... o.O

[arula]

No clue who any of those are... o.O

That makes me so sad.

 

I fed in the book I'm working on in chunks of 4-5 pages, and got the following results:

 

J. K. Rowling x 2

Kurt Vonnegut x 2

H. P. Lovecraft x 2

Chuck Palahniuk

Cory Doctorow x 2

 

This is all from the same character's viewpoint, and all in largely the same style of prose. I don't think this algorithm is very accurate. Either that or I'm just mad at it for not giving me Ursula K. Le Guin.

[rainbowsmile]

That makes me so sad.

...yeah, me too.

 

Chuck Palahniuk

 

Jealous!

Everyone else is getting people I know.

[Katie92]

Honestly I think it's just some sort of random-author-name generator. I got three different authors for varying parts of the same paragraph, one of them being Stephen King. I've read lots of King's work, and there's no way in hell I write like him.

[iCloud]

Entered in the first chapter of a story on eagles I wrote and got J. R. R. Tolkien.

[DragonGirl10188]

I entered just a paragraph from a book I'm writing, Demigod.

Ray Bradbury, is that good o.o?

[SolarCat]

I am learning some new names here...

 

Apparently my casual "me thinking out loud" writing is like Cory Doctorow and David Foster Wallace.

 

My poetry is also like this David Foster Wallace person, as well as H. P. Lovecraft, James Fenimore Cooper, and Charles Dickens (wow).

 

My papers for school sound like Oscar Wilde, J. D. Salinger, and also William Shakespeare (although this may not count, since this particular paper was about him and his works, but at least it shows the tool works for the obvious ones!)

 

Last but not least, the novel(s) I am writing sound like Arthur Clarke, Douglas Adams (ooooh!), H. P. Lovecraft, and Jane Austen (this one is... surprising, and the most common, not sure how I feel about that).

 

My roleplaying sounds like Dan Brown, P. G. Wodehouse, Arthur Clarke again, and especially Jonathan Swift and Douglas Adams.

 

 

 

That's quite an interesting mix right there. Not sure how accurate it is, although it was a fun exercise.

Lit email RP: Cory Doctorow (a Canadian blogger I guess?)

A recent fanfic: Ursula K. Le Guin

An original story attempt: Chuck Palahniuk

Essay on Machiavelli: H. P. LOVECRAFT!!!

[Gsea]

I write like Stephen King.

<3 That's a compliment if I ever heard one.

[Orlageddon]

*dances around*

[choco566]

It would seem I write like J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling and Arthur Clarke.

 

My most recent piece (just wrote it) said I write like J.K. Rowling. I got J. R. R. Tolkien for a piece I started a few months back. Then, I got Arthur Clarke for something I wrote a year ago.

 

I'm happy I got J. K. Rowling! -does happy dance-

i am quite honored it says i write like dan brown

[TheDarkCynder]

I got Stephen King.

[Kursedfire]

Who is Cory Doctorow and James Joyce? I've never heard of them

[Stealthypugs]

Rudyard Kipling.

 

That made my day.

 

EDIT:

Who is Cory Doctorow and James Joyce? I've never heard of them

 

Whoa! You write like James Joyce? That's pretty cool. James Joyce wrote a book called Finnegan's Wake over a period of 70 years, and while that's probably not what the analyzer based it's decision off of here's an excerpt from it:

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend

of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to

Howth Castle and Environs.

      Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-

core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy

isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor

had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse

to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper

all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to

tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a

kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in

vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a

peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory

end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface.

      The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-

ronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthur-

nuk!) of a once wallstrait oldparr is retaled early in bed and later

on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the

offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan,

erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends

an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes:

and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park

where oranges have been laid to rust upon the green since dev-

linsfirst loved livvy.

 

In other words, the book is ridiculous. And awesome. But mostly ridiculous.

I posted two different parts from the same piece of writing- a story I'm currently working on- and after analyzing the first part I got Arthur Clarke, but after the second section, I got Anne Rice. Out of curiosity, I did a little research and read tidbits of stories from both authors. I'd say my writing style is closer to Arthur Clarke, out of the two choices. However, I'm not a huge fan of science fiction :/

[AppleCakes]

Just to see what would happen, I typed in this:

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

 

I got:

I write like...

Chuck Palahniuk

 

Who is that?

[Skellybones]

I write like Neil Gaman and J.K Rowling

'Cause this was an awesome website...

 

Put in one of my newer bits of writing. This time I only got Neil Gaiman.

But then, that's hardly surprising x)

[Takhesis]

Well I put in a recent short fanfic for analysis...

 

and the result:

 

J K Rowling

 

 

And just for fun I analysed a Dr Who. fanfic I wrote for a competition...

 

and got :

 

Anne Rice

Edited April 29, 2013 by Takhesis

[Caesin Miirik]

I put in a fragment of one of my stories and got Isaac Asimov.

 

Yay!

 

Edit:

I input another fragment of another story and got Cory Doctorow.

 

interesting...my writing has multiple-personality disorder

Edited April 29, 2013 by Caesin Miirik

[frostmourne]

First three paragraphs of short story- Cory Doctorow

Next three paragraphs- J.K Rowling

Last three paragraphs- Douglas Adams

 

I was wondering what would happen if I plugged in a poem and I didn't have any handy, so I scribbled in a silly one about flowers. I got H.P Lovecraft.

Edited April 29, 2013 by frostmourne

[Mousia]

A part of an unfinished novel: David Foster Wallace.

A poem I wrote a little while ago: Dan Brown.

[67596]

Modern Writing- Dan Brown

Olden Writing--- Margaret Mitchell

 

First Writing----- Dan Brown

 

So, the consensus is that I write most like Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. Yay.
