I write like...

<< < (3/12) > >>

Gruud:
I dropped in three different samples, and they came up with:

Charles Dickens
H.G. Wells
James Fenimore Cooper

I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Perhaps they're trying to tell me my writing is old fashioned?

I'm always a ittle suspicious of stuff like this though.

Ive seen some (what DnD character are you, what fantasy race are you, etc.) where you could put in the exact same entries and it would give you different outcomes each time.

Which basically means they're just running a randomizer.

Anyone care to opine on my outcomes?

Starbeam:
This one's not a randomizer--I put in the same sample just now as the first one I did last night and got the same thing.

And I wouldn't say that those authors mean you write old fashioned, but maybe more that you're more detailed in what you write.

Apocrypha:
I'm not sure on the accuracy on this  ::)

I put in two sections of the same piece of fiction and got Stephen King and Isaac Asimov from a piece of work that is neither horror or SF.

One that was close was from another piece of work that gave me Chuck Palahniuk.

I actually then put in a piece of what is considered SF and it told me I wrote like William Shakespeare  lol

Starbeam:
I don't think it's so much to do with genre--I put in three chunks from one piece and got Dan Brown, King, and Margaret Atwood.  And it's an urban fantasy.  I think it's more going by the words that're used, or something like that.  I didn't really try looking around the site to see if it was explained.

Spot:
Kurt Vonnegut and David Foster Wallace.  :-\
