Interesting tool that apparently uses word analysis, the computer scientist in me wants to see their algorithm: Which Famous Author Do You Write Like?

Texts submitted:

Original Fiction

Legerdemain, the Enchanting of Charles East: J.K. Rowling

Steven Sweeney and the Man with the Silver Cigarette Case: James Joyce (I find this HI-larious)

What the hell- I did some fanfiction I'm actually proud of.

Juvenile Orion

Whittling Wood: James Joyce (again?! Dammit, James!)

xxxHolic

Cat's Cradle: Stephen King (WHUT)

Midnight Trains in Empty Stations: J.D. Salinger

Baron Sunday, first chapter: Chuck Palahniuk (WHY)

Jurassic Park

Objects of a Class: Douglas Adams (HOW)

Penelope: Chuck Palahniuk (CHUCK)


I'm not really sure what this means. Clearly I am all over the place. Oh well, it was a nice fun site, at least. Might have been cooler if they'd had some background information about the writers.

I submitted Within The Pages (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6094226/1/Within_The_Pages) and got Earnest Hemmingway. o.o I've heard of him but honestly don't know anything about him or his work... Meanwhile The Tangled Webs We Weave (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5814443/1/The_Tangled_Webs_We_Weave) got me H.P.Lovecraft. O.o Yet again, I know him, but not much about his work...

Birth And Death (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5710473/1/Birth_and_Death) got me... Kurt Vonnegut...? I dunno who that one even is. lol I'm all over too though...

What what what?

Mm, I've read some of Hemmingway's stuff but don't profess to be a fan. Maybe I was just too young when I read him.

H.P. Lovecraft- I've read some of his short stories. Nice stuff. Neil Gaiman did this fantastic Sherlock Holmes crossover with his world. Ah, beautiful.

Vonnegut- I've only ever read excerpts from his Slaughterhouse Five.

Man, I need to stop being a dilettante about reading and actually get through an entire body of work for once. Almost did it with James Joyce (I DO like thim)

Don't feel bad. I seem to know nothing of any of the authors who come up on this thing. XD At least you know some?

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

well, I suppose that's because I used to be on the quizbowl team in school, so I did a lot of reading in any spare time, since I held down part of the English Literature front in my team. (that, and it gave me an excuse to read, which I enjoy anyway)

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

Skuu could probably beat out all of us, since I think she used to be Literature at some point. (T_T)

I've actually never asked- you have a major? I know students in their 3rd/4th year in the Arts & Sciences have to declare.

[x-mog.livejournal.com]

I'm not in college. Hahaha... Er, so no? No major. ^.^;

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

eh? Why didn't I know that? I swear I have the worst memory when it comes to people.

Like one time (don't laugh!) I thought two separate friends on LJ were the same person until I thought, "OH, they have different usernames!"

I mean, really, self? Really? Perhaps it was because their personalities were very similar.

Probaly cuz I don't really talk about it? ^.^;

Don't feel bad. I did that just a few days ago... Wondering which one of my two friends requested a fic... I was like "Ahhh.. I know it was one of those two but which one?" and thankfully I got it right on the first try. ~.~ hahaha...

[foolish-m0rtal.livejournal.com]

shh, I never actually manned up and told them my blunders. *^__^* Let's keep it that way, eh?

[x-mog.livejournal.com]

Your secret is safe with me. :)

And I only just realized I got you with my Raikou account. Silly Mog...
