Who do you write like?

[chicago]

http://iwl.me/

I tried a few different pieces and I got Bram Stoker, HP Lovecraft, Jane Austen, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Charles Dickens, Douglas Adams, William Gibson, and David Foster Wallace, but Wallace came up three times, so I'm gonna say that's probably the best comparison.

Anyway, I thought it was a neat site. 🙂

 

[c7_assassin]

Apparently I write like David Foster Wallace.

I've never read anything he's written, so at least I'm not derivative...

[His Divine Shadow]

David Foster Wallace, which makes sense as I look him up, as he is a professor and I've been told my long and winding sentences are quite professor-like.

 

[c7_assassin]

I don't know if I like where this is going...

He offed himself a couple years back, you know.

 

[TonyInMyThroat]

Ahhhhhh!

I copied one of my old true tickling stories into the box only to find out I write like an 80 yr old woman.

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (born October 21, 1929) is an American author. She has written novels, poetry, children's books, essays, and short stories, most notably in the genres of fantasy and science fiction.

 

[Dr. Vollin]

I got Vladimir Nabokov, H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Gibson, Dan Brown and Kurt Vonnegut.

 

[TonyInMyThroat]

I got Vladimir Nabokov, H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Gibson, Dan Brown and Kurt Vonnegut.

Yeah, I got David Foster Wallace & William Gibson for two other tickling stories, so I’m starting to wonder if the code for this analyzer doesn’t simply reduce down to Y = RND(X).

 

[Tiger.Lily]

I got Vladimir Nabokov, H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Gibson, Dan Brown and Kurt Vonnegut.

Kurt Vonnegut. *swoons*

Will have to try this out later.

 

[The Fallen Angel]

apparently i write like William Gibson

Huh.

 

[kered]

It said I write like Charles Dickens.





I'll accept that.

 

[Korastus]

I posted several stories I've written, the first chapter of my novel, a play I wrote, and a few poems, and I got Daniel Defoe, William Gibson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Arthur Conan Doyle, Mary Shelley, Margaret Mitchell, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut.

I'm pretty okay with all of those. 😀

 

[SamuelKhan]

I've had a former teacher tell me that I write at a college level.

As far as writing by hand...


well...

 

[IrishTickle]

I'm a writer and it gave me Dan Brown.

I guess I just give up now. 🙁

 

[Deleted member 66627]

Margaret Mitchell and Vladimir Nabokov.

Same here, actually.

Huh.

Apparently, you write pretty well. 😉

 

[Capnmad]

I cut and pasted the instructions. The guy who wrote the instructions? He writes like David Foster Wallace.

[venray]

I write like
Ursula K. Le Guin

Which is funny as I have read most of her SciFi/Fantasy work...

 

[meangry]

Not a good program.

According to it, Samuel Beckett writes like Dan Brown.

I've gotten Nabokov, Chuck, David Foster Wallace, Atwood, Gibson, and someone else.

 

[Belmont]

Before testing it, I'd assume Ben Edlund, Douglas Adams, Warren Ellis or anyone else I've mimicked for years.

I got Palahniuk, Atwood, and James Joyce.
