Isaac Asimov

betenoire · 07-19-2010, 01:41 PM

I Write Like Arthur C. Clarke

JustJo · 07-19-2010, 02:17 PM

I tried it with 3 different pieces of writing....came up twice with Stephen King and once with Margaret Mitchell.

Seems like a stretch from "The Stand" to "Gone With the Wind"...but then I always knew there was more than one voice in my head.

Spirit Dancer · 07-19-2010, 06:38 PM

Two poems, two different authors.

I write like
James Fenimore Cooper
and
Patricia Cornwall

Kätzchen · 07-19-2010, 06:08 PM

David Foster Wallace

I write like Stephen King.

I'll take that

tapu · 12-11-2011, 05:30 PM

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 · 12-11-2011, 05:31 PM

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

jac · 12-11-2011, 05:43 PM

So I got: I write like Chuck Palahniuk

*shrugs* Will research ol' Chuck later.

Mtn · 12-11-2011, 06:05 PM

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

Cid · 12-11-2011, 06:20 PM
