Okay so my friend heart_of_a_fighter showed me this website, and it tells you who you write like based on one of your own creations.

I got a few for different pieces. Bits from my novels ran the gamut of Dan Brown and William Gibson. One of my random musings was reminiscent of Lovecraft. A letter/rant I wrote but never sent to a self-publishing agent got me Lovecraft, as well.

I love this site, I swear. I'm going to start analyzing my school papers now.

Apparently I write like Ian Fleming.

I followed the link they provided to Amazon and read through some of the book reviews and the occasional plot synopsis and I can see why I got that result. Makes sense.

Of course, I pasted parts of my bondage/romance piece I've been working on for the past week, so that might be why...

I write like Cory Doctorow. It made me smile inside.

Writing like Dan Brown made me happy too, not gonna lie. His research skills fail him at times, but I just love his writing style nonetheless. And honestly, I don't care if it's 100% true or whatever; it's fiction, anyway, so all that matters is that the reader can imagine it vividly.

Sorry, slightly off topic. xD

I like Tolkien's style a lot. What genre do you usually write, Flea?
PostPosted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 4:24 pm


Well, the thing I plugged in was historical romance. (Did I get Tolkien because my story has swords?) Normally, I write a kind of light scifi/fantasy mix. I dislike high fantasy and found Tolkien kind of boring. I only finished the first LOTR book because it was a school assignment. X_X

I myself have gotten several results from posting different stories of mine. I had gotten Stephenie Meyer the first time which I found kind of odd, even though I think of muself as a good writer.

Then I got these people who I looked up: J.D. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegurt, Chuck Palahniuk, Margaret Mitchell, Harry Harrison, and Ursula K. Le Guin.

I'm told I write like Stephen King.
Someone want to tell me who he is?

Well, I got Dan Brown, Anne Rice, Cory Doctorow, Stephanie Meyers (I was testing an old RP post I made probably... Last year?), and Stephen King. And the reason I don't trust the website: William Shakespeare. Seriously? I don't believe that at all.

Apparently I write like J.K. Rowling.
Ironic.
Ironic because my fourth grade teacher said, and I quote, "She's the next J.K. Rowling."
Well, I got her the majority of the time.
I also got Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Joyce, and Stephen King.

I forgot how many times I got J.K. Rowling. I think... three? Probably three.
