Who Do You Write Like? - Page 3

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

I write mainly porn

So not really sure who to put for that.

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!!

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

Frankly, I think I write like me.

Bard · 12-11-2011, 06:58 PM

Apparently I write like Arthur Conan Doyle interesting

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

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.

tapu · 12-12-2011, 05:34 PM

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.

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 · 12-12-2011, 05:41 PM

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 · 12-12-2011, 05:47 PM

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.

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...

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).
