I tossed in a smut post I wrote.. Apparently I write like Anne Rice, if Anne Rice wrote porn.

She does. Read The Sleeping Beauty Quartet written under her pseudonym, A. N. Roquelaure.

I got Leo Tolstoy for an RP post, Agatha Christie for two horror stories, and Anne Rice for a more dramatic piece. I think the algorithm picks out key words and awards points for each genre, then decides from there.

Cory Doctorow, Anne Rice, and Cory Doctorow.

Guess I should check one of his books out at the library.

LocusVonErich

Agatha Christie this time, will probably update soon.

LocusVonErich

Got Arthur Clarke this time, though to be fair, my excerpt was dystopian science fiction.

VashtiDreamer

Last year was Cory Doctorow, this year was Jonathan Swift, and 2 years ago I wrote like Stephen King.

Satire, human rights, and some horror. :/

Harry Harrison and George Orwell for my first two samples.

Lilias

After six samples, I got Leo Tolstoy (x2), Stephen King, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Clarke, and Stephenie Meyer. I'll take the eclecticism as a compliment.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

The majority of my pieces -- including a piece I plan to publish for a class -- apparently are similar to Agatha Christie. In two cases, funnily enough my first prompts for my recent class where I've to publish the said piece I mentioned before, I was like Anne Rice. 030 That I find pretty interesting.

Maedalaane

Anne Rice and/or Stephen King. Neat.

persephone325

Agatha Christie, Stephen King, Arthur Clarke, Dan Brown, Bram Stoker. (In order of how many times they popped up for each writing snippet.)

3 different fragments from the smae story, same character. Got three different results:

Stephen King
Dan Brown (gag!)
Anne Rice


Sooooo...yeah.
Instead of obsessing on the person you want to be, focus on who you DON'T want to be. It's much easier to not do certain things than to break your head on some ideal of yourself.

When the dust settles, you may find out you've become who you were supposed to be all along.

I tried three samples from three different genres and got James Joyce, Daniel Defoe, and Anne Rice.

LostInTheMist

I get Agatha Christie for my short stories. (I've been told by professors that I'm more similar to Martin Amis and Jack London, or at least the story in question was.... But regardless.)

For my satire, I got Dan Brown. So... I'm not sure how much stock to put in this. My satire was sarcastic in the utmost, and bore little or no resemblance to Brown.

Did three different samples.

One was Agatha Christie. Helllllll to the yes to that.

Second was Anne Rice. May not be a fan, but she does have good prose so I can't hate this.

And three was... MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

Keep getting James Joyce. Was he any good?
I don't see the future. I don't worry about the past. Now's all I have.

I tried ten samples from three different stories, and got Anne Rice eight times. The other two were Agatha Christie and Stephen King.

So, I guess that means I've either a fairly consistent style, or that eighty percent of my posts read exactly the same!
