So, who do you guys write like?

>Dan Brown

FUCK

...

>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Fug.
I do like Sherlock Holmes, though. It's comfy.

got the same, but submitted non-fiction - critical analysis - so I suspect your text must have been similar.

Nope. It was a high-school tier short story.

Same here. I just wrote a paragraph about the view outside my window. I guess I'm a hack, but I'll try again.

i expected cioran or houellebecq

followed up with an old attempt at some creative writing and got Nabokov. Poor algorithm.

that confirms how shitty it is

How much are you guys submitting? It says to use just a few paragraphs.

Submitted a couple paragraphs from a collaborative high-fantasy book I'm working on with some close friends. Got Joyce, which I was going for in that section, so I'm a bit happy.

Submitted an excerpt from Melville and I got Charles Dickens.

I don't know who this guy is. Is he good, guys?

Put in an excerpt from thoreau, got John Feinmore Cooper, which isn't too far off I guess

Put in Joyce, got Joyce

Put in Steinbeck, got Vonnegut

Put in tolstoy, got tolstoy

Does that look like the face and glasses of someone good at writing, to you?

Worst possible result ITT?

I am not a writer but out of curiousity typed something out; Elizabeth paused, a thought she couldn't quite reach buzzed through her mind, smashing into the crystalline musings that littered her brain and outside children screamed, giddy with enthusiasm for life. The sound of their cries tired her. Having stayed inside her home for three days, barely active she wasn't able to switch herself on or off. Stuck in standby mode. Something would have to change.

I got DFW. Are there any legitimately bad authors one can get?

>inb4 DFW is bad

It looks like he writes the most derivative, dull, science fiction. But I write the most derivative, dull diary entries, so maybe I do write like him after all.

Never mind, I guess the answer is
yes
YES

Both of those things are really bad.

Stephen Kings writing isn't, technically, bad though. His writing just lacks any semblance of a soul and artistic talent.

i just copied a greentext from r9k ang go dfw too

Posted about 200 words in my own native tongue and got Mark Twain

What makes it really bad? I'd like to know in case I decide I'll write at some point.

Well, first of all, it's filled with huge grammatical errors. I'd start there first.

Use periods instead of commas. It was hard to follow. Your sentences don't make a lot of sense, and they run on for too long. Your first sentence has like three separate ideas going on at once.
Read more if you want to be a better writer.

>Enter three history essays
>Same result every time

:O

>mfw Joyce

>>copypaste Shakespeare
>get Dickens

>Write like Agatha Christie

I don't know how to respond, her books get high ratings.
Is this good?

>jane austen

Same

Submitted some sci-fi

I don't see how the author of

Can feel superior about anything no matter how minute

>iwl.me/

>JK Rowling
>Charles Dickens
>Poe
>RL Stevenson

This thing's fuckin busted

>put in the first few paragraphs of the Great Gatsby
>Arthur Clarke

>Raymond Chandler

never heard of him
his wiki page seems quite flattering though

>stephanie meyer

>Lovecraft
>Poe
>DFW
>Christie
I guess my writing is too paranoid

Excerpts from 5 different shorts

>Stephen King
>Anne Rice
James Joyce
>Arthur C. Clark
>James Joyce

I am flattered by the arbitrary internet short story honeypot. Have never read Joyce

kek

>Jane Austen
>DFW
>Orwell
>Isaac Asimov

I'm the winner. You guys all lost.

>Leo Tolstoy
theres some newfound confidence, although I realize this program is bullshit

God dammit, I couldn't get someone good like JK Rowling, or DFW?

I got
>Agatha Christie
>Daniel Defoe
>Ann Reice

what does this mean

Not really, there's an entire field of study that is focused on determining writing styles

...

I got Agatha Christie and Ann Reice

Cool I guess

me too dude, what the fuck... I never read either of them in my LIFE.

LOL sure

I don't even know how to write

Got charles dickens

>run a short story
Anne Rice

>run my notes on binary heaps
David Foster Wallace

Really makes me think.

it took my work, and is making MILLIONS off of my craft. DONT do it.

i put in a diary entry, part of a memoir, and part of a short story. i got Stephen King every time. at least i'm consistent. maybe it means i'll be rich and famous one day, r-right?

I know very little about this man. Good thing? Bad thing?

how many words do i need to put in before it stops saying "weak analysis?"

Put in a page from my diary (not even memeing) and got Arthur C Clarke. I don't care for writing but I guess it's nice to know that I'm living a horror story.

Almost choked on my food.

I put in a Bolaño story and got Anne Rice.

like three thousand. They don't have to be related. You can combine texts from any source: blog posts, tweets, your diary, whatever

Here's lit's page one analysis

Copypasted "fart" several times and got DFW.

Should have been James Joyce.

try and get pynchon

>Submit five paragraphs of my current story
>Anne Rice
>Fuck
>Delete the last two paragraphs
>Dan Brown
>Someone literally slit my throat right now

DFW and Agatha Christie lol

>Ernest Hemingway

Time to fucking kill myself

I laughed.

>Crunchyroll

wewlad

Looking good...

Would DFW have streamed or torrented anime?

This is just proof that Veeky Forums is full of kids and why I never trust anyone's opinion on here.

a hearty chuckle
thanks Tim

Hahaha

Holy shit Tim, lay off the pastries will ya, no wonder you're such a fat fuck
I'm just kidding Tim, you're a great lad

...

XD cheers mate

What the fuck
I submitted a few hundred words from an intentionally hyperdense, pretentious story I worked on for a bit months ago
I don't know how this works.
