Who Do You Write Like?

I WRITE LIKE... (http://iwl.me/)

Apparently, this site has gone viral and it determines, based on a passage of your own prose, which famous writer you most write like--thought it might be fun to pass on!

From their website:

Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).


On my first try (just a small paragraph), I got Raymond Chandler but I am going to try again with a longer piece.

On my first try (just a small paragraph), I got Raymond Chandler but I am going to try again with a longer piece.

Interesting....

I write like Cory Doctorow, who is someone I know nothing about. Oh, and Stephen King.

I put a part of one of my short stories in for the first one and my poetry for the second.

This is the piece that apparently reads like Stephen King to them:

crimson streaks
paint the sheets
smudges in garnet
decorate the bed
red-rimmed eyes
gaze without sight
burgundy wine
spilled in the fight
one ruby shoe
alone on the stoop
colors of rage
taint this day
control takes the stage
and there's nothing more to say

[The JD]

I write like...Margaret Mitchell??

Well, we're both Atlantans. Oh, and the piece I put in has the words "Atlanta" AND "corsets".....hmmm.... I think I'm cracking the algorithm for this program....

[tapu]

Vladimir Nabokov.

Well, we're both Russian.



I'm a Nabokov knock-ov, too!

[tapu]

I used several examples and the result was...

David Foster Wallace



That's who *I* wanted! Fooey.

[willow]

I write like Stephen King.

I'll take that :)

[WickedFemme]

David Foster Wallace, whose prodigiously observant, exuberantly plotted, grammatically and etymologically challenging, philosophically probing and culturally hyper-contemporary novels, stories and essays made him an heir to modern virtuosos like Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo, an experimental contemporary of William T. Vollmann, Mark Leyner and Nicholson Baker and a clear influence on younger tour-de-force stylists like Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer,

[1QuirkyKiwi]

James Joyce - I like Avant-garde.

Cory Doctorow - I had to Google him as I've not heard of him.

[JackMcGrath]

I write like William Shakespeare.

Irish maybe?

I do not see any ode's in my submittal. *scratches my head*

[Dominique]

I write like
Gertrude Stein (http://iwl.me/w/69557f01)
I used an emotional blog and it came back Gertrude Stein.

From Wikipedia:
Gertrude Stein, the youngest of a family of five children, was born on February 3, 1874, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegheny,_Pennsylvania) (merged with Pittsburgh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh) in 1907)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Stein#cite_note-1) to well-educated German Jewish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Jews) parents, Daniel and Amelia Stein. Her father was a railroad executive whose investments in streetcar lines and real estate made the family wealthy.

This screams of irony. I live in Old Allegheny, Pittsburgh
and my Grandmothers name was Gertrude. Hmmm.

[Dutch Leonard]

I got Cory Doctorow with a small sample and Chuck Palahniuk with a longer one.

[tapu]

Whew. This second time I got David Foster Wallace. (Who committed suicide not that long ago.)

I had it analyze a blog post I wrote about a Halloween dummy who turned out really to be a dead person. Sounds like something "David" would write.

[tapu]

We all might as well just fold and look up Cory Doctorow. Maybe he's E.L.'s brother.

[jac]

So I got: I write like Chuck Palahniuk

*shrugs* Will research ol' Chuck later. :koolaid:

[Mtn]

I got Stephen King for my fiction writing and David Foster Wallace for my blog type writing.

[Cid]

I write mainly porn :| So not really sure who to put for that.

[jac]

So I got: I write like Chuck Palahniuk

*shrugs* Will research ol' Chuck later. :koolaid:

This is so sweet... well, not this necessarily because I don't actually know the guy but my blog writing matches ^^^^^ his up there. My erotica writing matched this: I write like Anne Rice *smirk* Love it!! :koolaid:

[Hack]

David Foster Wallace. Odd, since I just bought one of his books last week.

Frankly, I think I write like me.

[Bard]

Apparently I write like Arthur Conan Doyle interesting

[jac]

Just submit a piece of some of your writing "porn" and it will tell you just like any other writing submission would . That's what I did and it said I wrote like Ann Rice. The crazy of that is, I love Ann Rice's writing.. I have a quote from her on my page actually lo

[dixie]

Apparently I have different writing styles.

I have two different blogs. One style is like David Foster Wallace. I had to google him. "David Foster Wallace , whose prodigiously observant, exuberantly plotted, grammatically and etymologically challenging, philosophically probing and culturally hyper-contemporary novels, stories and essays made him an heir to modern virtuosos...died at age 46." One of his novels made Time's All-Time 100 Greatest Novels list.

My other blog however, says I write like Anne Rice (one of my favs). 'Nuff said. :D

[tapu]

You write like David Foster Wallace = You are highly intelligent, but also highly deranged, so though we love your stuff in the abstract, we cannot begin to sludge through it in the actual.

[tapu]

David Foster Wallace. Odd, since I just bought one of his books last week.

Frankly, I think I write like me.


I hope it wasn't Infinite Jest. I would love to have finished Infinite Jest, but I had a job and a kid and a dog. And my own mania had been treated already....

[Tawse]

Fiction: Stephanie Meyers... not sure if I should be ecstatic or suicidal over that...

Smut: Dan Brown... really? My smut is like the Da Vinci Code?



You know.. I'm thinking those should be reversed...

[tapu]

I put in a few pieces of erotica. Maybe that's the wrong word for them. They're very realistic, with no flowery description. I call them "scenes," YKWIM?

Anyway, they all came out as Ann Rice. That Vampire person? I don't see how that relate-.... Oh, wait, yeah I do. :cool:

Apparently I write like David Foster Wallace. (I really don't know who that is, but I hope he's good) :writer:

Thank you for letting me know what to do with that. I have a bad habit of coming in in the middle of a conversation not knowing what the hell I'm talking about until someone says...'you don't know what the hell you're talking about, let me help you'..lmao.
So now I know...

checks that John says I can't cash.

i misread this thread as, 'what do you like to write' ...as far as 'who do you write like' i would hope, whoever--we don't end sentences in prepositions (however unlikely).

[Skittlesluver]

The analysis states that I write like Oscar Wilde :)
