iwl.me/An analysis of your word choice that determines which famous writer's word choices most closely match yours. Not very accurate, but fun nonetheless.
I write like James Joyce. Make of that what you will.

Apparently, I write like William Gibson. I don't know what to make of that.

Rudyard Kipling. 
I haven't actually read any Kipling (for shame, for shame), but somehow I doubt my writing even remotely resembles it.

It analyzes word choice, not style. I wrote "chagrin dazzle adonis marble ice" and copy-pasted it a few times. Unsurprisingly, it gave me smeyer.

I got James Joyce. What piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god. The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. lol |

I write like Ursula K. Le Guin, somebody i have never heard of. I used an old research paper. I wrote this phrase out of the blue: These times are strange. Technology and innovation move at the speed of a rocket, yet the progress of mankind is moving at the speed of a busted up Ford Pinto. and got Stephen King |

My Text: You know what really sucks? Dysgraphia. It is a learning disability that affects the ability to express oneself through writing. You know what sucks even more? Having dysgraphia and wanting to be a writer. My result. Stephen King. |

Ursula Le Guin wrote the Earthsea series.
Me, I write like Dan Brown. I don't know who the hell that is. XD I just stuck in an RP intro I wrote ages ago and it gave me that. XD

I tried it with the first chapter of Brewdening Love, and I also got James Joyce. Clearly, the guys behind this website don't have a very high opinion of his writing... |

Original text (that I copypasta'd from a WR 122 homework assignment):
1. He very nicely flows back into personal narrative at the very end, telling of how he “broke free” from the iWorld. The effect is quite well done in a couple aspects—one, a person can actually relate to both narratives, and two, it shows that he’s not judging something from the outside, but the inside (which can be seen as more credible).
2. I believe that effect predominates cause, specifically because the iWorld first stemmed (in his thesis) from iPods.
3. The compare and contrast does very well with solidifying the fact that one lowly iPod can turn something that many used as a social outlet—music—into something very solitary and alone. It does this quite simply.
4. This thesis could be very nicely fleshed out by bigger-scoped examples of the “narrowing” of people’s lives. Many people may have iPods, but some don’t, and some that do, don’t use them as “religiously” as those described in here. Something bigger to help the point go across would make it that much better of a thesis.
5. Through my own experience, I find that life isn’t narrowing, but widening. For me, that is. Most people truly do only listen to or read what they agree with, but I don’t, so I’m a bit of an odd bird. Frequenting a couple forums that are almost nothing but debate, and large differences in opinion, I can definitely say I don’t particularly have my own iWorld.
I got:
H. P. Lovecraft
I lol'd.

I write like James Joyce. [/color][/font][/quote] Nobody will understand what you wrote for at least 300 years. My text was this: I was sitting in a comfy chair, reading an online forum when I was redirected to this website. I wrote this passage down, copied it, and clicked the "Analyze" button to get my results. Apparently I write like Dan Brown, a man who makes historians cringe with every sentence. |

I put in another RP intro and got Edgar Allen Poe. Interesting. I do try to write good RP intros; I suppose I should be thankful that I didn't get Smeyer.

I used a RP intro and got Rudyard Kipling. I was expecting Douglas Adams; maybe if I tweaked the intro to set it in space or something, I dunno.
Then I used a journal entry and got William Gibson, who is apparently a sci-fi/cyberpunk writer. I'm okay with that. Must make a note to check out some of his stuff.
EDIT: "Herp derp" repeated about a hundred times results in Poe.

Apparently I write like Chuck Palahniuk. Who wrote the Fight Club novel. I never read that book, but I don't really think I write like him. It sounds a bit weird.

I've tried this test several times, the majority of which I got Agatha Christie, which is funny because I've never read her stuff.

My text was: “We’re not going.” Matt said. He could feel Ron looking at him, but it was Richard’s reaction he was most concerned about. It was just a shame that the man had a preference for remaining calm in a time of storms. He sat on Ron’s bed with a straight face and a strange tranquillity in his eyes.
“You have no choice- you have to come,” he said. “What you do have a choice in is how you come- either consent or don’t. Quite frankly, it would be better if you consented because then I wouldn’t have to do this.” He clicked his fingers and the filament in the light-bulb above burst. It hadn’t been on before, but the short, tinny snap did extinguish any thoughts Matt had about escaping. The dark curtains Richard had summoned had blocked out any light from the window, so the room should have been pitch black. But it wasn’t. There was a strange light emanating from somewhere. A strange, low, purple light... I WRITE LIKE JK ROWLING!!! |
