Who do you write like?

J. K. Rowling

Fuck >_<

I put in 15 different samples before I got bored including WOTM entries, some other solo fiction writing pieces, RP posts, and a few non-fiction things pulled from a couple recent threads in the OT section. Here's the list of which authors I got, with the kinds of writing that gave those results listed because I'm too lazy to go through and delete those from each line.

Dan Brown - 2 times (WOTM #15 and #18 entries, the two out of five entered that I lost, hah)
Ursula K. Le Guin - 2 times (WOTM #16 entry and a non-fiction writing sample)
H. P. Lovecraft - 2 times (One non-fiction sample and an old beginning of a novel attempt)
Cory Doctorow - 2 times (An old beginning of a novel attempt and a sci-fi RP post)
William Shakespeare (WOTM #17 entry)
P. G. Wodehouse (WOTM #19 entry)
Oscar Wilde (WOTM #20 entry)
Isaac Asimov (Non-fiction writing sample)
Daniel Defoe (Newest novel beginnings, from NaNoWriMo)
James Fenimore Cooper (Old fiction writing)
Anne Rice (RP post)

So that's neat I guess? My favorite part is how the two WOTM entries that I lost with were the ones that it said were like Dan Brown.


EDIT: For shits and giggles I put this post through the analyzer. H. P. Lovecraft, apparently.

Who's Harry Harrison?

I put in the first three paragraphs from a fictional story I wrote for school and got Dan Brown. c:

Then I put in that poem I was talking about yesterday that made my mom cry and got Chuck Palahniuk. I have no clue who that is. :/

Chuck Palahniuk is best known for writing Fight Club.

He wrote Fight Club and Choke. Wait. Are you proud of being compared to Dan Brown?

I'd take that as a compliment Pandapands C:

He knows how to entertain a large majority. His books are in no way as good as Stephen Kings stuff. But his conveyance is similar.

He was an American sci-fi writer. Apparently one of his novels was the rough basis (meaning it was significantly changed) for the movie Soylent Green. Wikipedia says he was fairly popular in the sci-fi community. I've never read any of his work so I can't say from personal experience, but I'd guess it's not an awful result or anything.
