Who Do You Write Like?

[Angeline]

Check out this cool site. You paste some prose or poetry of yours in the space provided and click on the analyzer. It'll tell you who you write like.

I got David Foster Wallace and then Stephen King with two different paragraphs. And there wasn't a word about Maine in that second try.

Yes, I know it's silly, but it's fun!

 

[hmmnmm]

Uh-oh.
Lovecraft came up a couple times.
Whatever that means. Isn't he the tentacle guy?

I think I've come to the point where I can't imagine life without the internet.

 

[bluerains]

[GuiltyPleasure]

I got James Fennimore Cooper with one of my sonnets - he must be rolling in his grave!

 

[champagne1982]

I write like James Joyce and Stephen King. Or at least I did a few years ago. Strange how we lose our feminine voice with that analyzer.

 

[Remec]

I tried one poem and the opening paragraphs from two stories.

One story got me Dan Brown; both the other story and the poem were analyzed to be like Stephen King.

 

[CharleyH]

Funny:
I write like Chuck Palahniuk!

It's funny because when I used to post stories on Lit, I got me some fans, and almost all of them sent me Chuck Palahniuk books and I've still yet to read any of them. Lol - I always thought I was more of a Marguerite Duras kinda writer.

Ange,
You find the coolest sites

I pasted in my poem, No Rain Underwater

and it said I write like James Joyce

and then I pasted in what I hate about a city

and it came back Vladimir Nabokov. I got David Foster Wallace with a different poem, I wonder if theres anything at all original in this swamp of my mind...

That was fun

This poem is my lowest scoring poem of all time, and I pasted it and it came back Ursula K. Le Guin.

on fascination

a bit of this, of that
whatever it consists of
or none, of the above

Champ, I guess there is at least 1 female poet in that list somewhere to compare our stuff to.

hehehe -

in a dark and burning world
where even ice catches fire
where skies peel
and the soil is sour
where howlback oscillates
cinder-cone to horizon
a shabby soul may yet get clean

I write like
Edgar Allan Poe

if only

oh, and Charles Dickins, too - fuck me, i should be rich.

Hey Chippy

What did you put in to get Poe? If ya don't mind me asking....



I put in part of the Hollow Men by Eliot and it said he writes like HG Wells. I got Wells on my story, Peaches posted on the g_g pseudo.


well, ange, you gave me something to do with my boring ass life

Well god knows what their criteria is for analyzing. My stuff comes in pretty consistently for David Foster Wallace.

I was sure ee would get James Joyce because you know wonderfully wack his poetry is, but he kept getting David Foster Wallace, too. It's kind of frightening that we sound so alike.

Actually I think Tess's James Fenimore Cooper is hilarious. I'm trying to wrap my head around her poetry and The Last of the Mohicans, and it really isn't working.

I'm not like any writers I want to be like. And I can't play an instrument so I can't even try to be like Lester Young.

[UnderYourSpell]

Red Sky at Night

The man who wasn't there

[Maria2394]

Has anyone tried the same piece twice? I put in Chip's Poe piece and it came back as Chuck Palahniuk so now Im gonna try mine again, if it's different, then it's just random, right?

I would have killed for the Poe ref, lol, or better yet, TS Eliot

I was curious if Anna' s poetry would come back as Anna Swir. Has anyone heard the illustrious Swirly lately? Is she and her brood alright? Damn, that woman can write!

Hugs Anna, if youre lurking... miss you

Instruments not included (well, unless we include what the Portuguese call pilinha - a magical word for cock in itself) Who do you aspire to be like, Ang? Enquiring minds ... Inquiring?

Lucky bastard.
I got Dan Brown with a poem that had (fuckhead) maybe because it was so formal, sonnety type thing. Other than that James Joyce. That site must have list of twenty authors. What a crock.

I had a hiatus...



but it was removed


here is the really funny thing - I remembered your number. It's in a explanation. Sad part, it is a poem I started when I heard Rybka died. Hope to get it up later.

You wrote a beautiful poem and I am glad you saw fit to explain some of the cryptic word choices. Thank you for The Blue Hour.
