I tried three samplings.
The first was my typical posting style and H.P. Lovecraft came up for that. Here's some interesting tidbits. He was born in Rhode Island, a state that I certainly reside in. No biggie. It's the smallest state but thousands of people live here, so that's not creepy. One of his parents had mental health issues. Again, a LOT of people have a parent with mental health issues. He did it all in terms of writing....editing, writing prose, novels, short stories. With the exception of a novel, I've done the same. He married an older woman. I prefer older partners. Died young though. 46. I definitely do not want to have any connection with that. He never really achieved success until he passed. His genre was horror, something I'm not really a fan of, honestly. I've enjoyed a few Stephen King books and the work of Poe, but as a general rule, I do not like horror. He's buried not too far from me. Maybe I'll head over one day and say hi. Next, I tried one of my short stories and a poem. Both of them came up Anne Rice. I think most people are at least vaguely familiar with her work. Mainly The Vampire Chronicles, I'd wager. I didn't know that she wrote Christian literature, though she did eventually distance herself from organized Christianity. She's written erotica, which I love, and has been very successful as a writer. Sharp contrast to Mr. Lovecraft. Hmmmm.....interesting. So, apparently, I talk like a Northerner (because I write and post like I talk) and a write stories and poetry like a Southerner. Also interesting. |

Hmmmm....this was interesting so I played around with it a bit.
I first submitted a sample of my prose and typical posting style and came up with Stephen King. Secondly I submitted a short story I had on hand and came up with Anne Rice. Since those are similar authors this makes sense but I do find it interesting as those two have never been favorites of mine. However this is judging style not genre so I suppose it could work. What is interesting I then played around and took excerpts from various authors (Mark Twain, Erma Bombeck, etc.) and submitted those and they did not come up as their own style but as another. I suppose this could make sense as it is matching their style with another. I didn't go too deep into it but this was a fun diversion. Thanks for posting the link! Katniss~~ |

I used one of my posts from here because it was handy.
Apparently, I write like Vladimir Nabokov. ![]() ETA: lmao, I might have guessed Dostoyevsky due to the amount of words I use [think War &Peace], but I definitely never saw Nabokov coming. The really hilarious [and unbelievable, lol] part is, I don't say very much at all in real life; I just like to shoot my mouth off online. I definitely prefer written forms of communication.

I used writing samples from three different stories of mine (written at different times over the last two years) and got three different answers. Ian Fleming, Margaret Atwood, and Douglas Adams. I haven't read any work from any of them yet, but I guess I'll have to check them out.
This was fun/interesting. Thanks for posting it, silkepus! |
