I am Douglas Adams; hooray for me! I would like to see a list of what writers are actually in there, though.

[starlady]

As well as Douglas Adams, I got H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, and Dan Brown (*dies a little in her soul*). The person on my network I got the site from got Margaret Atwood and Mark Twain.

It seems to be working from a suspiciously dudely dataset.

[starlady]

Yes, definitely. Out of the entire sample set the only female author anyone's gotten is Mark Twain.

[djkittycat]

MArk Twain???? Female author?

[starlady]

Ah ha ha I meant Margaret Atwood.

[seekingferret]

Now you need to write Mark Twain genderfuck.

[starlady]

Now made much easier with the publication of his unexpurgated memoirs!

Hah, I should. *puts that under hat*

Well, I got Kurt Vonnegut for my school essays (except for the one on sweatshop labor, which apparently resembled Asimov), James Joyce and Charles Dickens for my poems, and...a combination of Margaret Atwood, H.P. Lovecraft, and Dan Brown for my normal journal entries. (Is Dan Brown in the database just to make people feel terrible about themselves, or what?)

The analyzer thinks that F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote like H.P. Lovecraft, too, though, so I'm a little skeptical.

I got Dan Brown on almost everything. This kind of makes me want to read him now. :-D

[inkstone]

I write like Margaret Atwood, HP Lovercraft or Edgar Allan Poe.

[starlady]

I think Margaret Atwood might be the only female author in the algorithm.

[coriana]

I hear J.K. Rowling is in there as well.

(I write like Nabokov, Stephen King, and Chuck Palahniuk, apparently)
