I Write Like...

[DeepGreenEyes]

Paste a couple of paragraphs of your posts, or PMs, or something else, into the field; this site will tell you what writer you're channeling.

I did mine several times, and David Foster Wallace came back. I was hoping for Dr. Seuss.

It told me that I write like David Foster Wallace when I did excerpts from my subbie journal. When I plugged in an excerpt from my fanfictions it said I wrote like J.K. Rowling... which would make sense since it's HP fanfiction.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

Wow. I'm flattered.

Arthur C. Clarke.

 

[Nina327]

huh... it says I write like Vladimir Nabokov.

Interesting.

I got various people depending on what I put in. My last NaNo and my last ScriptFrenzy both got William Gibson, but my 2008 NaNo got William Shakespeare of all things and another story I started got... Stephanie Meyer. NOOO. I was using entire stories, though... not my forum posts.

Okay, I fib. I'll try it later.

 

[Kojote]

Whoops...
Tried a part of one of my german stories and got Edgar Allan Poe.

I think that site is a bit dodgy. I got David Foster Wallace as well. I don't even know who he is.. I will Google him.

I would have liked Charles Dickens but I suppose that is a big ask..

Or maybe Lewis Carroll. Now that would be good.

Exactly. I think it keys on certain words or phrases.

Depending on what text I put in (all different areas of the same erotic story), I got the following authors:


I write like
Stephen King

I write like
Chuck Palahniuk

I write like
Johathan Swift

I write like
Margaret Mitchell
