When you paste a snippet of your writing onto "I Write Like", who do you find you write as? Are the results surprising or flattering?​
 
I posted five different snippets from current RPs and got: David Foster Wallace, Mario Puzo, Daniel Defoe and Arthur Clarke (twice).

While I don't know who Daniel Defoe is and am only vaguely aware of David Foster Wallace, to have even the smallest comparison to Puzo (The Godfather, and one of my favorite authors) or Clarke (co-wrote the screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey) is incredibly flattering. :)
 
And when it comes to more, erm, smutty/erotic fare...apparently I write like Stephen King and Anne Rice.
 
Margaret Atwood, apparently??

Not sure what this implies, as I have only come across the name in very broad, vague passes...
 
I put in my last three replies, and am very flattered :oops:

1. Stephen King 2. Margaret Atwood 3. Arthur Clarke​

Put a smut one in Retro, I'm dying to see a poll of how many times Anne Rice shows up in this discussion thread.

So far it looks like non-smut can proc Anne Rice, but smut is always proccing Anne Rice within a few tries. XD

the fact that I got Dan Brown for my smut sample explains a lot about me, I think :]
 
Dangit

I figured I'd cheat the smut algorithm by trying stuff that was very indirectly alluding to smutty stuff, so as to avoid certain authors.
Alas, you might as well call me Japanese now, because my staple food was Rice - Anne Rice
 
Vladimir Nabokov, wtf.

(I did smut and not-smut, same answer.)
 
Agatha Christie-- one of my favorite writers so I'm not surprised I subconsciously write like her!

Arthur clarke. Not complaining. However I do wonder how many authors are taken into account to be analyzed by the AI because I see alot of the same ones coming up among everyone's replies.



With some exception.

Hahaha, I’ll be the outlier, I don’t mind. Beautiful prose, extremely uncomfortable subjects, lol.

According to the about page, they source from 50 authors:


 
They source 50 authors? I thought it was a lot less since I put in my opening post from 6 different roleplays. One of them said Agatha Christie, the other 5 all said Ann Rice.

I kinda like that site, very interesting find!
 
Apparently, I write like Agatha Christie. I did three different snippets and they all came back with her as a result.
 
My first answer was Stephen King. I tried a few posts and I also got Anne Rice and Agatha Christie. I was talking to Staine about it and he says that he feels I will adjust my posts based on my partners, and I think that makes sense as I try and echo them.
 
I put my full intro posts in too, at least one of them around 3000 words, all came back as Anne Rice except the one Agatha Christie.
 
There’s a Wikipedia article about this site that explains generally how it works.

Also, hilariously, there are accounts of living writers testing it out - Margaret Atwood apparently was told she writes like Stephen King.
