I write like...
« on: February 21, 2012, 07:46:51 PM »
Found this today and it entertained me briefly, you feed it a chunk of your writing and it tells you who you write like. I fed it several long forum posts I'd made and they all came back as Cory Doctorow, my CV is apparently written in the style of H.P. Lovecraft which maybe explains why I got the job (Ia Ia, fhtagn!).

Screenplays: Chuck Palahniuk.
Everything else: Cory Doctorow.

Interesting and weird.  :D

Sample emails from work say... Cory Doctorow. I think I see a pattern. I also haven't a clue who that is.

I fed it my account of an early Sunken Temple run, and I got J. R. R. Tolkien (whoever that is?). Probably because it uses the word "Dragon" quite a few times.

I'll feed it more of my scribblings and see what else I get.
