Third poem: Gertrude Stein
Fourth poem: Dan Brown
Fifth poem: Chuck Palahniuk
Sixth poem: Stephen King
Seventh poem: David Foster Wallace
Eight poem: Ursula K. Le Guin

Interesting mix.

Pasted in my 2 latest chapters from the same story that the prologue got the james joyce. Both wind up getting Kurt Vonnegut. Dunnop if it matters, but they do kinda read like a TV/Anime Series. A lot of my work tends towards that in all honesty, I have no clue if that is good or bad though. I shall continue writing however. (At least in my oppinion anyways)

Dunno how much I trust this thing. I pasted a Sherlock Holmes fanfic and got Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but I went back and replaced all the john watsons and sherlock holmeses with "David" and "Robert"...and the same text got me James Joyce.

I think word choice (including names) might be a driving force here, as opposed to sentence structure.

1. Sephen King
2. Cory Doctorow
3. David Foster Wallace

It seems that my third person story mostly came up with Bram Stoker, at least I know my style has been staying the same, although one chapter came off as Lovecraft, guess I was writting it a bit different, but 7 straight chapters still.

My first person story seems to be someone called David Foster Wallace, not quite sure what that means, but I looked at the wiki page.

I got H. P. Lovecraft

Started to put stuff from my fantasy WIP on there. All of it coming up as Niel Gaiman. I am happy with that I suppose.

Ursula K. Le Guin, Gertrude Stein, and Vladimir Nabokov.

At first I thought that I needed to work on my consistency, but then started putting in larger chunks of writing, and mostly returned with Le Guin. I'm down with that. I love Earthsea.

Seems to get more accurate the more you put into it.

Apparently my journal reads like a James Joyce work... just looked him up and I don't think I've ever heard of him or his novels. Hmm.

Another entry of my journal reads like Cory Doctorow, who I have also never heard of.

Two rants from the WP Facebook group also got Cory Doctorow. A later calmer response got Chuck Palahniuk. A later slightly agitated post got Cory Doctorow again. A mini-essay I wrote on various books I like and why got H P Lovecraft, who is... someone whose name I've heard a few times but works I have not. Hmm.

I have done this before, but it's always fun.

"I write like Agatha Christie."
How odd. I got a different result last time. I used my failed NaNoWriMo attempt from last year.

OK, I tried one of my Tumblr posts and I got:
"I write like David Foster Wallace."
This is far from Agatha Christie!

A term paper from last term: "I write like Mario Puzo"
Hahaha, omg, I don't know him, so I googled him. How absurd. My term papers read like "The Godfather"? oO

A story from 2007: "I write like Stephen King."
I just laughed. The beginning of the story relies heavily on dialogue.

OK, the first two paragraphs of another story: "I write like David Foster Wallace."
Hm... Interesting...

OK, this is one of my oldest attempts: "I write like James Joyce."

Funny. These days I seem to be more of David Foster Wallace and Agatha Christie and I started out as James Joyce. For university, I write like Mario Puzo.
