I Write Like... well, maybe on occasion... with effort

[primsong]

Thanks to padawanpooh for sharing the love - this was fun, even if it obviously can't be taken too seriously. (her experiment with pasting in a bit of Dickens, which was declared to be much like Asimov was rather telling, *snicker*)

Nonetheless, I enjoyed pasting in bits from various types of tales that I've written getting Dan Brown, Oscar Wilde, James Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain, Vladmir Nabokov (who?) and Stephen King (how did Rivendell Int'l Airport, a parody, land a Stephen King badge?) - then out of curiosity I went to "Stone of Erebor" where I had been aiming for a Tolkien feel for and bounced happily when it yielded this:

I write like
J. R. R. Tolkien

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Even knowing it's a questionable meme tool, it was worth it just because this made my day.

I just read the wiki page for Mr. Nabokov and their mention of his use of both word play and colors makes it make sense to me as I take those elements into account with any passages that run poetic and/or descriptive (though I'm sure not to his apparent level - he was one of those people who saw emotions, etc. as colors, wow...) It must have been picking up on all the emotional/color/texture references.

And Wodehouse! Woot for Wooster and co., one of my very faves, you are well complimented indeed by that one.
