iwl.me/PLAY. (Thanks, Ninety!) Apparently I write like: - Vladimir Nabokov (the cutscene here, and this post) - H.P. Lovecraft ( this post) - Mario Puzo ( hahaha PERFECT) - Stephen King ( this post. If they're talking about early King I can understand, but Renard is one of the least late-King-like characters imaginable) - William Shakespeare (I TOLD YOU GUYS THIS IS AN AWESOME POST)

I consistently get David Foster Wallace. I don't even know who that is.

The infamous Wind Runner post from Shrinking comes out as writing like Agatha Christie. I suppose, by some measures, it is a mystery. My first Ishk8 post comes out Stephen King. Stephen King's sorta a catch all, ain't he? Maybe he's just a generic modern writer? My most recent LTR Post comes out Dan Brown. Wow, I really, really suck. Okay, screw this ORP noise. I'll go over to my most acclaimed recent post, Dace & Burbot in Fallfish. WHAT WILL IT BE? George Orwell... Wait, NO. I call hijinks on this thing, so hard. Fallfish is about as far from Orwellian as I am from a responsible and active RPer. This thing... C'mon. If you call my APCARP Orwellian, I won't take issue. But three kids just wandering around, having a good time, bucking authority? Maybe it's the way that Dace forced Burbot into obeying. Big Burbot is watching, or something.

I'm wondering just how accurate this thing is, and what metric it uses. For anyone that's read Wallace's stuff, is my writing anything similar at all?

Well, I punched in the ENTIRE RP me and Clicker have going. Collectively, we're said to be similar to Ursula K. Le Guin. That's the first one tonight that made any sense to me.
(Though, to be fair on my earlier post, my writing does typically have an Orwellian punchiness to it, being rather direct and tending to reuse words and phrases to emphasize key points. I just don't get how Fallfish falls into that.)
Also, I just punched most of Whispers in. Blaise posts, as a rule of thumb, come out Dan Brown. I've never read his stuff, but if it reads like Ms. Euler talks...
Well, I feel very sorry for all the people that fell for The Da Vinci Code.
Considering the technical jargon in my LTR post and Blaise posts, I'm guessing any posts containing modern, sciency words runs a risk of getting Dan Browned (I'm surprised Choobs doesn't have more issues with this.)

That site is so easy to break. I love how apparently, "herp derp herp derp herp derp herp derp" is akin to the writing of Ernest Hemmingway, whilst herp derp herp derp vampires herp derp herp derp is Stephenie Meyer.
