I Write Like....
I just found out about the I Write Like site that takes a sample of your writing you submit and runs it through an algolrythm and compares it to several other fameous authors.
Everyone should try this just for fun to see what you get compared to.
Please submit a link to the post on NS you use or quote the post here and then your rating.
I will obviously go first.

THE POST
The Result: Stephen King
Another Post
The Result: Douglas Adams
A THIRD POST
The Result: Dan Brown
I submitted three different posts all of relatively decent length from three different threads and got these results.
I'm actually pretty happy with them all, even the Dan Brown one. I've never had a problem with Brown's writing style; it's easy and fun to read (it's just his stories that are predictable and silly), and of course King and Adams are great people to be compared to

Re: I Write Like....
I found the results of a quite long and deep analysis quite interesting. Mostly Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe and David Foster Wallace. First, Solar Communes only posts.

I don't intentionally write to create ironies. Or maybe I actually do.Xenonier wrote:I kept getting DFW. This is appropriate.

Apparently my work is both David Forster Wallace and Vladimir Nabokov. This seems so right.
