Which Author Do You Write Like?

[Kaden]

Since the update, I threw in the same post I used last time and got William Gibson. Sadly, I haven't read any of his work, though I'd heard of "Neuromancer."

Some day I'll take the time to give it a wider variety of posts to see what it says.

Have to say, though, this has actually made me kind of want to start writing something.

[Carter]

After Ander's post I realized that whole threads were probably subject to sweeping generalizations so I submitted posts and passages of some of my work instead of the whole piece.

Along with my previous writters I also got these:

William Gibson
Gertrude Stein
Agatha Christie

I'm actually not that big of a reader so I must admit I don't really know any of the writers this program has suggested of me, but it has brought some interest to me. I will probably look into these authors.

[Belle Hibiki]

I've seen Margaret Mitchell most often. Though I don't think most of my shit reads like Gone with the Wind at all,even style-wise.

This isn't really a "who do you write like" and more a "who do you wrist MOST like." Because in terms of writing Joyce is like a thousand miles away. The fact that Margaret Mitchell is only 950 miles away doesn't mean I'm fucking close. :\

[Celena]

Only bad thing is he is British. I guess no one is perfect...

Aren't you from Russia or something? How is that better than being British?

Anyway, I got Ursula K. Le Guin for my first RP in The Elite Games and Stephen King for my latest post.

Okay that's one of the worst guesses at my nationality I've ever seen, though the direction from the UK is pretty correct.

A half-decent map, should be able to spot the gray circle around my country.

Anyway, there's really nothing wrong with Brits and I tend to watch nothing but BBC Entertainment, problem is there's just some humor unique to the Brits where I will till the day I die never get what the hell that was about. I recall there was some in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, evidently the only book I ever touched by the author the site gave me, where something clicked from having read most of the book but I never found out if it was meant to be funny. It's so long ago now however so I can't remember which part it was. Nor the plot or characters.

I used my post on New Day for the evaluation and it spat out James Joyce. I didn't take out the tildes then, so I'm not sure if that would have had an impact.

Tried it about an hour ago and it spat out Margaret Mitchell.

Was wondering what I did different and tried a few different pastes, wondering if the one this morning was somehow truncated or incomplete. First 'section' still get Margaret Mitchell. The second, starting at "Master Long awoke..." and ending at "she's strong alright." returns James Joyce, as does the fourth.

I was wondering what changed, and it appears that the software for the site was updated about five hours ago (also here). They added new writers and "a small analysis bug," whatever that was. I'm guessing that's why.

So no, I didn't lie.

I meant a lie that you didn't know who he was guy.

[Ashe]

I'm still getting Douglas Adams a lot on my posts, even now. I did get Dan Brown on my "Afterparty" post on Kajin Rala though.

I was going to throw some Reijin posts in to compare the styles (I write Ashe a lot differently and from a different approach than I do Reijin) but haven't gotten around to it.

[Jesper]

Since the apparent change, every Jayd post I entered (which was all of them) got either David Foster Wallace or Stephen King.

Like Ashe, I really take a different approach for certain characters or mediums. Every chapter that I wrote for a novel I had been working on for NaNoWriMo, for instance, got Edgar Allen Poe. Every post as The Joker (I write him on another site) I entered got H.P. Lovecraft.

At the very least, it's interesting to see the names that pop up.

[Ander]

Since the update, my most frequent result is David Wallace Foster.

David Foster Wallace


Yeah, same here, Ander. <.<;;

I used my last post in Final Destination for the analyzer.

lol I said anal.


EDIT: Used my last post in The Ronin Assassins and got Douglas Adams.

FFS, make up your mind.

Personally, I tend to take a lot of my style from Laurell K Hamilton, who is my most favorite author, ever. and pretty much is everything I've read since 2003ish.

Dunno who this is.

Dunno who this is.

Science fiction author. He advocates less strict copyright laws (and filesharing), so you can read any (or at least most) of his books online.

[Juno]

I submitted four samples: "I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" (the whole thread), which was my first thread, and got Douglas Adams; my first post from Chapter 1 of "Our Eternal Violence" and got H.P. Lovecraft; my post in "Eden Revisited" and got Cory Doctorow; and my longest post from Kill Town's "Age of Wyrms" and got James Joyce (which made me really happy).

I also put in an original essay of mine and got PG Wodehouse.

[Rem-13]

Most common with Chubbs stuff is Douglas Adams, with a Stephen King and Joyce sprinkled in.

When doing some of my recent non Chubbs stuff it favored Charles Dickens, with King poking his head in again in a strong second. I think this places too heavy an emphasis on genre, but it is cool nonetheless.

My first post in the Saga as Bekah got me that.

[Mr. Zhu]

I've been getting either Dan Brown or Margaret Atwood. Hmm, at least I'm consistent hehe.
Funny story, I got L. Frank Baum for the Perform for Gamer segments in Kill Town.

Also got a couple of other results mixed in the middle. Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Shelley, Cory Doctorow.

[Celena]

This thread is two months old. You're like the new Chris 'Krillin'.

[Super Buu]

Gertrude Stein?

Tried the first and last post from Family Matters and got the same result each time. I'll have to try it with Supes later.

fuck uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I got HP Lovecraft for my first post in 'Aufsteig.'

Bram Stoker for my first post in 'Hippocrates.'

Cool.

Wouldn't mind seeing the underlying algorithm.
