Writers Unite discussion

I found this AWESOME website today guys! It's called I Write Like and all you do is paste a few paragraphs from something that you have written. Then the site will tell you which famous writer that you write like.

I took it several times and pasted a few paragraphs from various things that I have written and was surprised that I got the some of the same results, sometimes more than twice in a row!

Here were my results:

Dan Brown: Author of The Da Vinci Code (I got him 5 times!)

Ian Fleming: Author of Casino Royale and the other James Bond books

Ray Bradbury: Author of Fahrenheit 451

Stephen King: Author of The Shining (I got him 2 times!)

Overall this analyzer is really fun although I'm unsure about how accurate it is. Try it out and feel free to post some of your results below.

Again Stephen King.

Cory Doctorow. AGAIN.

HOLY MOTHER'S GREAT MACARONI AND CHEESE!!! I GOT STEPHANIE MYER!! I HAVE TO BURN MY WORK!

Are you just putting in a few paragraphs or like 2 pages? Because the less you put in, the more accurate it is.

I put like 5 sentences.

You should put in at least 2 to 3 paragraphs. that way you WONT get stephanie meyer :P

Wow, shall I tell you them all?
J.K Rowling: 1
Cory Doctorow?: 2
Stephen King: 6
Stephanie Myer: 1
Ian Fleming?: 1

Stephen King is a real popular one for some reason.

Hmmmm....See now his books are really err..gross....

Yeah they are but he's still a pretty BA author

That's so true. So how many words you got? For NaNo?

15,926. I've posted some of it if you want to read it so far. How far have you gotten?

Err...I haven't written so much. I'm around 12,334

That's still good though. You should post some more of it soon :D

Wow, Fatu! U've done as much as me! And I dnt evn go scool. way to go *waves pompoms* lol

Oooh, this was fun! But I put in so much writing! I have a lots of writing not posted on Goodreads, including a ten-chapter novel-in-progress.

Here are all my results:
Neil Gaiman |
Stephenie Meyer |||
Dan Brown ||||| ||
Margaret Atwood |
Chuck Palahnuik |
Annie Rice ||||| ||
Leo Tolstoy ||
Mark Twain ||
Stephen King ||||| ||||| |||
Vladimir Nabolov |
J.D. Salinger |
Kurt Vonnegut |

And I put in two academic pieces just for fun and got:
Edgar Allan Poe |
David Foster Wallace |

Having read works at one point by all of these authors, I can't say I agree. At all.

Murder Mystery- Stephen King
My Life Story- Vladimir Nabokov (who?)
Fire- Stephen King

Stephen King for Chap2 of my current.
Rudyard Kipling for Chap1.

Wow, stephen king is popular! LOL, we are a bunch of stephen king writers!!

I know, right? I got him thirteen times!

So these are the different results:

I'm Already Torn- Stephenie Meyer
A WTF Justin Bieber Story- Cory Doctorow
Spit or Swallow- Chuck Palahniuk

I wonder how the computer analyze this, is this a joke or for real?

I'm pretty sure that it's not all that accurate all the time. But to get the most accurate results, make sure to only put about one to two paragraphs into the analyzer at a time. Once I started to do that, I started getting the same author every time I tried it.

I tried doing what you recommend Carina:

So I write like:

Stephenie Meyer- six times
Cory Doctorow- five times
Raymond Chandler- three times
Stephen King- two times

I also write like Agatha Christie, Mark Twain, Bram Stoker, Margaret Mitchell and J. D. Salinger.

Cool. :D

Is it? :D

My most recent novel got Harry Harrison?(who is he? :P)
WAIT my Short Story got Mark Twain!
My fan fiction got Margaret Mitchell(think I know her)
and my first novel got Arthur Conan Doyle

I got Chuck Palahnuik, author of (I can't believe I actually have to research this...) Diary.
