Neat Site

If you go to this site, http://iwl.me/
you paste some of your writing and it tells you what famous author you write most like. I think it's mostly based on word use.
I tried all sorts of my work, and got some reasonable answers (Raymond Chandler, Stephen King, William Gibson), but got Jane Austen for about half of the chapters of a completed novel I wrote.

I don't know what it tells you, but it's fun!

We had fun with this site some time ago. I can't remember who I was supposed to write like but I do remember that my reaction was "NEVER ... I wish!"

OK, Stephen King for my attempt at a "horror" story (not disappointing, but I was aspiring to Shirley Jackson!), but come on, Ann Rice for my take-off on Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole diaries??

DrG- You actually got Jane Austen? don't ask me why I thought that was so funny. I would love to be compared to her though.

This was fun. I tried several different snippets from my WIP. I had to look some of the authors up on Amazon. I got Robert Louis Stevenson twice. I also got Dan Brown, Ursula K Le Guin and Stephen King and the last one was my favorite-J R R Tokien! That made my day. But that was on an unedited recently written snippet.

I got Tolstoy, for a piece where I was using Russian names, so not that surprising. Then I got Arthur Clarke and Gertrude Stein. I'm not that keen on the first and I've never head of the second

Yes, JANE AUSTEN!!! for about half of the chapters of my completed fantasy novel. 3 of the 5 main characters are female, so I don't know if that contributed to it. I did get someone different for the recent stuff I posted on this site. William Gibson or someone.

That was a pretty cool site! Thanks! I ended up with Agatha Christie....which was weird because I submitted something far from mystery. LOL

I looked at Pride and Prejudice, and Austen used lots of semi-colons. I do use about one every 10 pages or so. I don't know if that's why I get Austen.

Well I played with it some more later. I got a Tolkien a few more times. I think it was because of all the dragon talk. So I looked for passages without dragons and got kick out of getting J.K. Rowling once.

If I'm assuming correctly that this is talking about setting up a website for books neatly, I require help. If anyone knows an expert on wikis, I need someone to take a look a this. I do want to publish science fiction.
