This is the website. (http://iwl.me/)
Basically you past any piece of writing you've done into the text box and it somehow tells you that you write like so-and-so.
I inserted this little ditty I wrote a while ago (http://www.destructoid.com/something-about-sex-if-you-build-it-they-will-make-a-nude-mod-166182.phtml) and it told me I write like Cory Doctorow, who is some Canadian I've never heard of but apparently he writes stuff (but who cares, he's Canadian).
To test out the site to see how good it was, I posted a bit of the chapter where Boxer the horse gets killed from Animal Farm and pasted it into the box, and it told me I write like George Orwell.
I also typed in a page worth of "ad;ajopijo;znhio;nhio;zn;hioejgh" etc. and was told I write like William Gibson, so...

he's slightly insufferable but he's done important things for Creative Commons imho.

I liked Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. Whuffie is a cool concept.

Quotewhich analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.
But I hardly believe that a program can actually analyze writing style (unless it picks out words that are adjectives and adverbs and counts their frequency or whatever, but that's still pretty bare-bones), so it probably just compares word choice.

But that's bullshit, that chapter is nothing like his writing as far as I can tell.
Closest writer to it is actually probably (early) Terry Pratchett.

I'm fairly convinced this doesn't work. I punched in a novel I wrote and got Dan Brown. When I took off the epilogue, it said I write like Raymond Chandler, who wrote noir detective stories. When I took off the prologue, it said I write like HP Lovecraft.
Baffling, really.

Do you use a different voice in your prologue and epilogue?

Well, it's obviously based on usage of particular words and sets of punctuation. It's not like it's not based on anything at all, it's just that what it's based on isn't that complex or significant. It's just another "what serial killer are you?" test and we're going "omg i took it twice and i'm bundy and gacy how did this happen".

Mm, I didn't say it was bogus, I just said it didn't work.
I tried punching in "For sale, baby shoes, never worn." and I got Margaret Mitchell, who wrote Gone With the Wind. It's fun to see how you can trick this thing. :D

I punched in Chuck Palahniuk's "Choke", and it said he writes like Stephen King. I wanted to punch in "Fight Club" as well, but I can't find a PDF that would let me copy its text. I also tried punching in The Eye of Argon, and it said that the guy writes like David Foster Wallace. ^___^
So far the only accurate thing is that I punched in "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman, and it said he writes like Neil Gaiman. Either he's very distinct, or tends to write the same way. I doubt it, though, since they said American Gods is written like William Gibson. :wut:
What would you suggest that's less obtuse?
