 Apparently, the software thinks that I am David Foster Wallace. I got seven results saying that I write like him.But then I also got:
That link is just for fun and entertainment, but it's interesting in some respects. I got David Foster Wallace for each of four different sections from my fanfic, "The Cloak". Nice and consistent. However, when I analyzed the Darth Vader diary paragraph from the Prologue of that same story -- which is very different in tone -- it told me I wrote like William Gibson. Huh. The other three David Foster Wallace pieces along with the Dan Brown trio, plus the Mary Shelley and Stephen King samples were from non-Star Wars SciFi short stories I've written (or started). The Douglas Adams was one of my favorites from a few years ago: Star Wars re-told as a fairy tale. I still crack myself up re-reading that.  Another of my favorite TFN viggies, "The First", was labelled like Oscar Wilde. Thanks, TKL. That was fun. -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.

Hey!
 I guess the sort of stuff we write lends itself to DFW's syle! -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.

I got quite a few Dan Browns and DFW. There was another, maybe Lex will remember, who was a scifi guy.
I put stories in in order I had written them to see if my style had changed. -------------------- “Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can’t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator

Arthur C. Clarke.
 I got mostly Dan Brown and David Foster Wallace.  But when I ran "Should Be Going" I got..... Stephenie Meyer.  -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory

Oh boy, Lex.
My earlier Star Wars works got William Shakespeare and Cory Doctrow. For To Suffer and Be Strong I got Cory Doctrow. So sci fi... that's good. For the beginning of The Great Escape, I got the ever-popular result of David Foster Wallace. Then I ran one of my recent press releases and I got Arthur C. Clarke. So apparently I write news in the form of science fiction as well. -------------------- I still want Blood Oath.

Just for fun, I played with this again today using my new WIP to see if my style had changed at all over the last bit.
Now it's telling me David Foster Wallace, Douglas Adams, Margaret Mitchell (x2), Arthur Clarke, Dan Brown, and Isaac Asimov (really???). All that out of two chapters, I'm counting it as progress. Anyone else up for retrying it? -------------------- Attn DelRey: Jag doesn't sparkle. Neither do any of the other Fels.

I haven't written enough fiction lately to run it again.
 And running my most recent law journal article couldn't possibly end well.   -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory
