At Rufus I mentioned an app I found online that takes a look at your sentence structure, word choice, etc. to try to find an author you write like. Someone said I should put it up here, since I didn't remember the URL then, so here it is: I Write LikeApparently I write like H. P. Lovecraft. Pretty damn awesome author to write similarly to, I think.

Welcome.
I write like Cory Doctorow who wrote a book called 'For the Win'. Yeah. I think he releases some of his stuff online for free as well

Dom. This was explained.
EDIT: Just realised he probably added his identity after you asked. Damn. All that sarcasm, wasted.

Unlike this sarcasm: Yes, well done Stewart...

Using an excerpt from my "A Doll's Dream", I write like Rudyard Kipling.

I put some Star Wars fanfiction in and got Douglas Adams.
I figured that was pretty fitting on all fronts.

That sarcasm worked.
When I have my memory stick handy, I will put something else in and see if I get the same answer or something entirely different.
(If it's all relatively/extremely famous authors, I will be very happy and rather expectant that I will become rich and famous. Probably after I die.)
Oh, and Douglas Adams is awesome, Cati! ;D

Well I got Edgar Allan Poe, so quite a few by the looks of it.

Karma for the legend that was Poe!

For "On the 7th Day", I write like Lewis Carroll. For "Having a Sensational Day", I write like Douglas Adams. ( ) For "Whodunit" (a mystery, crime thing about stolen biscuits), I write like Stephen King. ( ) For "For Your Own Protection" (my last competition piece), I write like Dan Brown. ( ) For my Terry Pratchett Guild competition piece, I write like Charles Dickens. ( ) .... I think I write like me, to be honest...

I used a blog post (I won't link the blog until we'v established it a bit further) for mine, and when writing non-fiction, I tend strongly towards stream of conciousness (a bit less chaotic than is the norm, though), with crazy punctuation and stuff. I guess I can see why it'd say H. P. Lovecraft. I don't have any idea what it'd say about my fiction, plus, I haven't written much fiction recently.

I don't know why mine changes - I thought it was all pretty similar (in structure, etc.)...
