I Write Like....(Analyzer)
« on: July 12, 2012, 07:57:56 pm »
This analyzer supposedly tells you which famous authors best match your writing style:

I fed it a few paragraphs of my short story and got Rudyard Kipling.
Then, just for fun, I fed it one of my blog posts....and got H.P. Lovecraft.

I fed it a blog post and got Stephen King.

That analyzer always amuses me.

My fiction generates Stephen King.  My blog posts tend to result in either Mary Shelley or Edgar Allan Poe.  This comes as no surprise to anyone.

An excerpt from the middle of my soon-to-be-NaNo novel was like James Joyce, which was flattering. I've only read bits of his work, but they're awesome.

But the excerpt from the beginning was like Anne Rice. WHAT.

One of my blog posts was like David Foster Wallace, whom I had to look up on Wikipedia. Another was like Vladimir Nabakov.
On hiatus, but might pop in now and then. Just making it official.

My blog. 40% normal, 60% spiritual, 500% details.

A novel that I play with from time to time got these results: Chapter 1 first 5 paragraphs---Daniel Defoe Chapter two also first five or so paragraphs J. R. R. Tolkien. Amusing,  I wonder how much text you can enter. I have about the first five chapters written, but only the first two entered on my computer.

I posted the whole nine pages of my story (around 5, 000 words) and it still said Rudyard Kipling, but maybe as I write more, it will change?

That is sort of what I was thinking, once I get the whole thing in I'll try again.

Apparently my style changes.  A lot.  Different segments of a story I am working on got H.P Lovecraft, Anne Rice, James Joyce, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Frank L. Baum

Not sure there's a limit on how much you can input but it seems it will only analyze up to a certain point.

Chapter 1 of my novel got Rudyard Kipling, 2 - J. K. Rowling, 3 - Ursula Le Guin, 4 - H. P. Lovecraft.

Then I put the whole thing in and got Rudyard Kipling again which was interesting given that's what I got for the first chapter. So, just to test it, I copy and pasted the first chapter to the end of the sample and re-ran it - J.K. Rowling. Moved the second chapter to the end and got Ursula Le Guin, etc.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all - Oscar Wilde

I got P.G Wodehouse (who wrote comedy :/) for an excerpt of my fantasy western, and Rudyard Kipling for a short horror piece. Perhaps I'm doing something odd in my writing.

I feed it chapter 1 of the Trek story I'm working on (new characters, not the old favorites), about 8000 words, and it came up Arthur C. Clarke

And for the person who had David Foster Wallace? - I fed it about 4000 words of another story I'm working on and it came with him

Going from paragraphs of my novel draft ... I write like Dan Brown. :eek:

Going by my blog posts I write like... Lovecraft....

Two writers I am not insane about but indecently famous so ... I won't take it as an offense, certainly, eh!:whis:

Last time I tried this, I got Dan Brown, too.
I sure wouldn't mind his sale figures!

I don't know how many author names this program has, but I got also Dan Brown. :eek: (I fed it various text blocks from different blog posts.)

I fed it part of an unfinished short story and got Arthur Clarke. (I don't even know who he is.)
