I Write Like...

[rosco rathbone]

Samuel Beckett

 

[neci]

Chuck Palahniuk



i pasted something that had a lot of profanity in it.

 

[Stella_Omega]

The first bit I popped in there got me Steven King. It was conversation about being chained to the bed.

The next bit got me Dan Brown. It was two demons fighting, then fucking.

Some ever-the-top period dialect between a pair of gay sailor lads got me James Joyce.

"Thee thee thee thee thee" got me William Shakespeare.

"Female Blood" got me Margaret Atwood.

Someone just told me that when Margaret Atwood tried to get the thing to analyze her own writing, it said she wrote like P. G. Wodehouse.



Over on Making Light, Jim MacDonald says; "So I went to the I Write Like site, subject of the post just below, and entered this text:

asdp0o pvpm eropms spe pebps.

And it told me I write like James Joyce. "

 

[Netzach]

I put in like 3 different non fiction things, including ad copy and I kept coming up David Foster Wallace across all of them.

I guess maybe I should try and read Infinite Jest or something.

 

[FurryFury]

I put in four different samples of my work and got four different names.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I went back and entered a sample from my How-To article and got David Foster Wallace. (I still don't know who he is.) I entered three different samples from one of my story chapters and got Stephen King, Anne Rice and Anne Rice. I'm so confused!

 

[SlaveNano]

I got James Joyce, Jack London, Arthur C Clark, Douglas Adams and Dan Brown for different stories.

James Joyce??!! Shit, I'm obviously a genius and never realised until now!

 

[Keroin]

A Kindergarten Student.

WTF?!!!

*shakes fist at website*





*plays with blocks and takes nap*

 

[BiBunny]

I got David Foster Wallace, too. I don't know who he is, and I don't think any of us who got him write anything alike. So I'm forced to conclude that he's the person they say you write like when you don't fit in any of the other categories, since nobody knows who he is in the first place.

 

[Lizzie_Borden]

Samuel Beckett

Watch out for those Quantum Leaps, Mr Rosco.

 

[satindesire]

I got "Mario Puzo". I don't even know who the hell that is!!

My sample text was from an old RP:

"She was a slender, boyish redhead, with a creamy complexion dusted with copper freckles. Her most prominent feature were her large brown eyes, which belied some foreign blood that her family had introduced some years ago, far before her own birth. It was not easy these days having red hair, often she had heard whispers of witchcraft in other towns that women of her coloring had often been blamed for. She knew that her offer to work here on the Ravencroft grounds, far above the petty and gossiping villagers, would be a wise one. The Ravencroft family was wealthy, and no one would dare blame her for witchcraft when she was under the protection of such an influential name.

She had expected there to be spiderwebs and ghosts haunting the halls of the inner chambers. But it was not the haunted place she had expected, the stone glittered brightly from the reflection of many lit braziers that lined the walls. But even for all the trappings of humanity, the decorations and the cheerily blazing fires...there was a sense of foreboding in her that only grew stronger with each step towards her destination."

This is the full RP:

So apparently, whoever this guy is likes to RP. XD;

 

[FloggingMolly]

Forum post: I write like
William Gibson

Roleplay: I write like
Margaret Atwood

 

[Braschi]

I side with BiBunny here; according to Wikipedia (because I had no idea who DFW was, either) David Foster Wallace "Wallace's novels often combine various writing modes or voices, and incorporate jargon and vocabulary (sometimes invented) from a wide variety of fields."

But, it did say the current thing I'm writing has James Joyce's style, so I'm forced to like it

Of couse, then I put in an article that I'm writing on economics, and it tells me I write like Kurt Vonnegut. Which tells me I don't want to read Kurt Vonnegut, because my article is really boring.

I'll give the machine some credit, though; when I put in the first few pages of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it did say it was written by Douglas Adams...

I got "Mario Puzo". I don't even know who the hell that is!!

Mario Puzo wrote The Godfather

 

[satindesire]

Mario Puzo wrote The Godfather

Holy Shit dude!

Awesome.

 

[Kikori]

My non-erotic story in progress got Dan Brown.

My most recent erotic story got H.G. Wells.

A shortened version of the same spot from the same non-erotic story got Stephen King.
A longer version of the same spot from the same non-erotic story got David Foster Wallace.

Though when I post pages of text at a time, I keep getting Dan Brown (excluding a random Margret Mitchell, or however it's spelled.)

hi. my name iz stupid. i do not know what i am doign on this web sight, but i guess i was liek told to write a few paragrafs and find out who i write like? lol

this's really the only time youll see me writing liek this. normally im super good about my engrish (lmfao) and eveng ot compared to dan brown most of the time. its pretty fun to go back two my roots of being a total derptard!

neway. why am i even on thi s fail site? i have no idea. someone pleasee edumacate me why im allowing myself to make so many unpresidented typos?

... save me before i get used to this pleaz?

EDIT: And this is apparently the quality I can expect from Twilight.

I went to the pool. It was fun. I like to swim. But I get hurt when the water touches my eyes. So I have a mask. It looks cool! It's even green and blue. Those are my favorite colors. Do you like to swim?

 

[Seurat]

Sunnuvabitch. I didn't see that last line in DeepGreenEyes OP. Took all the fun out of my joke.

Sorry, DGE, I ddin't mean to copy cat. *bangs head on wall*

I did it four times, and got two Raymond Chandler, one Stephanie Meyer, and one Johathan Swift.


Yes, Johathan Swift, not Jonathan Swift. There had a typo in the author's list with which we were being compared.

 

[DVS]

I put in...

I make wimminz moan. Then I sometimes let them cum. I'm Dommly. I'm a man. I can be mean when I feel the urge. I force wimminz to do my bidding, swallow my hard cock and suck it dry, then I take them hard up the ass. I sometimes like to watch their body shake when I zap them with my electrical toys. Sparks is good. In the dark, they are even pretty.

But I don't look the part. I look dorky...even geeky, bald and I'm getting old. But if one of you wimminz were to take a chance...

I got back...
I write like
James Joyce

 

[Stella_Omega]

.
... swallow my hard cock and suck it dry, then I take them hard up the ass...e

Right after you make them swallow you dry? Wow, dude, zero refractory period!

I'm so impressed.


Okay, carry on.

 

[Kitty_Schrödinger]

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

Agreed. I got jk Rowling and df Wallace, same story, diff paragraphs.

 

[rinka]

Three different emails got me Cory Doctorow, Douglas Adams and Bram Stoker.


Ok

 

[DVS]

Right after you make them swallow you dry? Wow, dude, zero refractory period!

I'm so impressed.


Okay, carry on.

The lack of sexual attention means I'm constantly horny...and I also regularly take my vitamins. And if you think that is impressive...I have other miraculous things to share, but only with someone daring enough to meet me half way.

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

Margaret Mitchell

Frankly DeepGreen, I don't give a damn.

Hey! You've got the Late Unpleasantness on the brain, WD.

I got David Foster Wallace, too. I don't know who he is, and I don't think any of us who got him write anything alike. So I'm forced to conclude that he's the person they say you write like when you don't fit in any of the other categories, since nobody knows who he is in the first place.

Once I looked at Wikipedia, I remembered his suicide by hanging a couple of years ago. Yikes. I say all the David Foster Wallaces get together and buy T-shirts and form a club where we all eat casseroles, write similarly, and keep each other from despondency. Also, we can babysit Keroin.

Sunnuvabitch. I didn't see that last line in DeepGreenEyes OP. Took all the fun out of my joke.

No problem! You be Dr. Seuss, and I'll be Ted Geisel...

[CutieMouse]

Someone suggested I turn a dream into something to submit to Lit, so I pasted a paragraph into the thingie and got Cory Doctorow... I read so little fiction I had to Google him.

 

[kara24]

Wow, I got - J K Rowling !! I wish lol
