Have you guys seen this site where you can plug in something you've written? it's analyzed and they tell you what famous author you writer similarly to...

Yeah, I tried it the other day. Apparently, I write like David Foster Wallace. I don't even know who that is...

You also write like Margaret Atwood. And so do I. I tried it with a few chunks of Butterflies. Three of my chapters got three different responses and I tried one of yours and got Atwood. My favorite thing is that Pocket Rocket apparently seems like something the dude who wrote Fight Club would write.

I don't think either of you write like Margaret Atwood. I always found her novels to be very depressing and with a very sour view of the world. I always look forward to reading anything y'all have written. I'd rather eat glass than re-read "The Handmaid's Tale".

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Jul 10 :: 01:01

Yeah, it didn't make sense to me either. It's a silly program.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 23 Jul 10 :: 03:06

That sounds like an interesting site.
And the author of Fight Club is Chuck Palahniuk.

According to this website I write like Cory Doctorow. Whoever that is. LOL

TeeJay · 23 Jul 10 :: 18:23

Yeah, I came up with that name twice too, Anne. I don't know who that is either.

I submitted one of my friend's blog entries for fun and she got James Joyce! That's so not fair! LOL

I just tried my short fanfiction I once wrote (You know, Adam's nightmare ...) and now it says David Foster Wallace, too.

I've done this with a few of my fanfics- and they each brought up a different author... Margaret Atwood, James Joyce, Agatha Christie... apparently when I switch between fandoms I switch between styles haha!

new ones (i kept going): douglas adams, Arthur Clarke, Gertrude Stein

this is kinda wierd... every single one of my stories has a different "author" style...

I don't think that program works exactly the way it claims to. I've had different sections of the same fic generate different authors. LOL!

icclenomi · 08 Oct 10 :: 08:42

it was so totally random! maybe it just means if you get more than one result that you have your own unique style because you're awesome? yeah, I'll go with that...

TheCentralScrutinizer · 08 Oct 10 :: 15:48

Yeah, that's the ticket!

domesticelefant · 08 Oct 10 :: 19:20

I tried parts of my Twilight fanfiction for fun and got Stephenie Meyer. LOL

(talking about silly ...)
