Who do you "write like?"

Find out here.

I submitted 6 samples. 4 times, it said I write like Bong-Boing co-editer Cory Doctorow. Once it said Steven King, and once it said James Joyce. If I submitted this post, it would surely say that I write like Mickey Rooney’s “Bill.”

Suspicious

I submitted the lyrics to Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” and it said Ozzy writes like Brahm Stoker.

I submitted the lyrics to Hey Jude, and it said Paul writes like Robert Louis Stevenson. 

Those seemed “in the ballpark,” I guess, but then I entered the lyrics to Rush’s “Tom Sawyer,” and it said Neil Peart writes like Mark Twain.

Thinking it was just picking up on the name, I re-submitted one of mine, and threw “Tom Sawyer” in the middle somewhere. It still said I write like Cory Doctorow.

I got Dan Brown

I got  Dan Brown 4 out of 6 times.  1- Raymond Chandler and 1- Harry Harrison ,which makes the most sense since it’s the only author of the bunch that I know I’ve actually read.

Oh, Tree.  Thank you for bringing up “Bill.”  How he haunts me!  “Bee-yill.”

I was James Joyce with my first submission, Margaret whatsername that wrote “Gone With the wind” the second time around.  Go figure!  I kinda suspect that it randomly generates a name for you.
