Who do you write like? 👀 (Fun promotion thread, come one, come all! 😎)

I don't have a story here on tapas but I submitted my freewrites that I do.

It's weird because I submitted the first freewrite and got Stephen King.
My second and third freewrites resulted in J.K. Rowling.
Then I submitted all three freewrites together and got Anne Rice.

so which is it then, generator?? LOL

This looks like fun! Let's see what my two main stories get:

My writer's camp story is written like Stephen King

And my main flagship story is written like Anne Rice

Were the freewrites long? Or shorter ones?

If so, it's usually more accurate with the longest piece from what I saw!

I get Agatha Christie for The Accidental Prince.

I get J.K. Rowling for Freedom's Gate.

Raven_C 2018-11-03 22:26:57 UTC #22

they were pretty short! I guess the most accurate result, then, would be when I had put all of them together xD which would then be Anne Rice. I admit, I'm not familiar with her work.

Apparently I write like Agatha Christie, though I wish this thing would tell you how it works or why you get the results you get.

I just checked, they have an about page! (Hadn't seen it before actually, so thanks for pointing that out! )

Cool! I'm glad they have an actual algorithm. I feel like it could just be a randomizer and a lot of people would fall for it anyway, lol.

Nah, I tried with the same piece a few times to see before posting it here, but it always gave me the same answer; I just wasn't sure what was the exact trick behind it!

Soooo... I apparently write like Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club).
Which is funny, because my main inspiration for both of these is... Terry Pratchett. Well. I tried

Biggest plot twist ever.

faeriesandents 2018-11-03 23:06:08 UTC #29

I know right! Surprising, and now I have to actually read Fight Club too!

I got Agatha Christie which I wasn't really expecting, tried with another chapter and still got her I guess I have to believe it then.

IcyMango 2018-11-04 02:30:44 UTC #31

Anne Rice (never heard of her) for the first episode of this:

And Agatha Christie (also never heard of her) for the latest and working on episode of:

He's better known as Arthur C. Clark.

YaoiParadise 2018-11-04 03:46:29 UTC #33

I got Agatha Christie for my main project (I feel like I should have read some of her books but naw)

And I got Anne Rice for what little I have written of my NaNo novel (I am so happy about that, she was one of my favorite novelists when I was an angsty teenager and in love with Lestat

)

spadesart 2018-11-04 04:21:50 UTC #34

i get different results for each series (?)

for spire's dialogue i got agatha christie

for sundown i get stephen king

Lady_DarkStar 2018-11-04 04:55:20 UTC #35

For Weeping Willow I got Agatha Christie, for Called Home I got Anne Rice

For The Practical Joke I got Arthur Clarke, for Baby I got Anne Rice, for Turning to darkness I get Raymond Chandler, for Premonition I got Stephen King, and finally, for Lissa I got Stephen King.

On the other hand, when I test chapters for the book I'm writing, I come up with Arthur Clarke, Agatha Christie, and David Foster Wallace. Seems to depend on what character is telling the story. OMG! I just realized I can use this as a sort of consistency checker on my characters! New way to keep them from blurring, thanks!

Pan 2018-11-04 08:56:37 UTC #36

LMAO I submitted four different chapters from Jean B and got different authors for each one What does it mean?!

Each day, the spirit of a new author possesses you.
