I Write Like - What famous writer do you write like?

[Nightmare Clock]

I put in a satirical piece I did on TV and got Ian Flemming.
Then put in an essay I did for a class annnnd got Arthur Conan Doyle.

So, apparently I write like the guys that wrote James Bond and Sherlock Holmes.
fuck yessssssssss

[Kombucha]

I got Vonnegut, Lovecraft, Dan Brown, and James Joyce. Dan Brown's not that great but the other three are pretty cool.

[VCRClock]

Copy-pasted the lyrics to the long version of Rapper's Delight and still got Cory Doctorow.

[DiscoBallClock]

I pasted a few big posts I made and got Cory Doctorow.

[Biggskoo]

I typed the song that never ends 50 times and got Margaret Atwood.

if you've ever read any atwood, that's actually very apt

i pasted some entire stories and sections i've written years ago and recently and mostly got cory doctorow and chuck palahniuk

i pasted in the entire body of a 21 page legal research paper i did junior year and got david foster wallace

i pasted the story i wrote based on snapple's oregon trail diaries and i got dan brown and i'm not sure what to make of that

[SageClock]

Put a chapter of something I worked on and it said I write like David Foster Wallace.

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.

[DaisyClock]

i got james joyce
 
(because i like farts i guess idk)

[DaisyClock]

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.

i'm pretty sure i kept getting james joyce because i was using emails (things like 'hello' 'i've missed you' 'i love you' etc,) or atleast i hope it was because of that

[buttplug]

Awww yeeee


You know what I don't think it is that far off either. Obviously not quality wise but by how I describe things and sentence/paragraph structure.

[SchnozzberryClock]

I put in:

Jim, a writer from a small town in New England, is being terrorized by an inanimate object that has mysteriously come to life.

and got H. P. Lovecraft.

Then I put in:

Jim, a writer from a small town in New England, is being terrorized by an inanimate object that has mysteriously come to life and kills the only black guy in a hundred-mile radius.

and got Stephen King.

[Kombucha]

I put in:

Then I put in:



and got Stephen King.

[TequilaClock]

Anne Rice? Who is Anne Rice?

[clockradioclock]

Got Stephen King, James Joyce and Vladimir Nabokov from different excerpts of the same poopoo i wrote in november

I don't see any resemblance

[AnkhClock]

Anne Rice? Who is Anne Rice?

A good writer, even if you don't like Jesus.

[Topcatyo]

Entered in the latest Destructoid thing I wrote and got David Foster Wallace.

[AlbinoClock]

Anne Rice? Who is Anne Rice?

She writes erotica about vampires and sleeping beauty.

[Slash]
