Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

    I submitted the recipe for the quiche I made tonight and it said I write like HP Lovecraft.

    Well, using three paragraphs each from two different chapters of my unfinished book, I got two answers:

    1. Steven King
    2. Vladimir Nabokov

    I much prefer the second.

  8. 8.

    Dr. Psycho

    I tried bits of a fanfic I wrote (Steven King), a fantasy vignette (Dickens) and an erotic detective novel (Nabokov).

    I guess that means I’m complex. Or undisciplined.

    I submitted a bunch yesterday and received Margaret Atwood and George Orwell. I was so pleased that I chose to submit a third time and got….. DAN BROWN.

    They are the undecipherable scribblings of a madman which, if we could decipher them, would reveal the stark horror and meaninglessness of existence, culminating in a time when godlike beings come to earth and devour our souls?

    Comrade Mary

    I’ve submitted various rants and more modulated, helpful bits of writing and my results have been: Nabokov (The WHA? Flatter me much?), Stephen King (He’s a decent prose stylist with some flaws, but not a complete hack), Dan Brown (KILL ME NOW!), Nabokov (Oh, your flattery is salve for my burning soul. I’ll take it), King (Am I gonna be rich?), King (Oh man, maybe I’ll get rich), Lovecraft (Advising people gently and throughly on the best bike for them evokes eldritch horror? Um, OK), King (This link seems appropriate) and Dan Brown (NOOOOO!!! I don’t want money that much. Can’t the Old Ones kill me first?).

    EDIT: Ands this comment came back as King. The lyrics for Opportunities? Dan Brown. I rest my case.

    I got Chuck Palahniuk (submitted a day’s worth of my NaNoWriMo free-association.)

    David in NY

    Well I submitted two portions of a legal brief, one portion of the statement of fact that turned out to be Margaret Atwood (whom I have never read, partly because I didn’t think it would be fun) and portion of the argument turned out to be by Dan Brown (ouch!). Now don’t make fun.

  22. 22.

    anthrosciguy

    I took a web page of mine and pasted it. The result was “Lovecraft”. But pasting it section by section got “Lovecraft”, “Atwood”, or “Poe” for various sections of the same page.

  23. 23.

    Rick Massimo

    Unfortunately, driftglass put Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” in there and it came out James Joyce; Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 came out Rudyard Kipling; Mark Twain’s “The Private history of a Campaign That Failed” came out Lovecraft, and O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi” came out Mario Puzo! (It should be noted that Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” came out Vonnegut.)

    Just sayin’ …

    I put in two very different posts. The first one said I wrote like Stephen King, the other like H. P. Lovecraft. I’m starting to scare myself.

    I got Vonnegut for my food writing and Joyce for an academic sample. Clarity is, apparently, not my strength.

    This is so 1996. Markov chains have been guessing authorship of writings since around then.

    I submitted a small piece of flash fiction I wrote and got Raymond Chandler (it was a 99 word complete story).

    I then submitted the opening paragraphs of a short sci-fi story I wrote and got Isaac Asimov.

    I think I’m good with that. Shakespeare and Chandler are OK, but my favorite Science Fiction author has always been Asimov.

  28. 28.

    thomas Levenson

    did that twice — with the first and last page of my most recent book, Newton and the Counterfeiter. I managed to replicate the experience of many above. The first seems to have been penned by Stephen King, the last by Dan Brown.

    I’ll go shoot myself now. (Dan Brown is, imho, the worst writer living.)

    Actually, if I could get King’s wealth and deeply envied productivity, I’d consent to live.

    Three different sections of my masters thesis on labor law and baseball go Dan Brown, HP Lovecraft and Ian Flemming. Scarry.

    Since this was on my blog yesterday I put it into the box:

    After getting home at five in the morning, and leaving a note for Fritz saying I would be down for breakfast at 10:45, I had set the alarm for ten o’clock. That had seemed sensible, but the trouble with an alarm clock is that what seems sensible when you set it seems absurd when it goes off.

    Archie Goodwin, “The Rodeo Murder,” Three at Wolfe’s Door

    And the thing told me that was like Arthur Conan Doyle. I’m not sure Rex Stout would be flattered by that, but hey, at least the literary genre was the same.

  36. 36.

    Bryan

    Apparently, Kurt Vonnegut wrote like J.D. Salinger. Personally, my money was that he would write like Kurt Vonnegut, but what do I know?

  39. 39.

    b-psycho

    (Edit: WTF is wrong with this page? The box replaces anything past the first part with a strikethrough & screws up the formatting.)

    Other two it said Dan Brown (short comment on over-reliance on credit) & H.P. Lovecraft (two cents on Rand Paul & the civil rights act stuff). I had to look up who H.P. Lovecraft was.

    Skipjack

    My unscientific survey detects bias. My selection of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte apparently has the bot thinking she writes like Edgar Allen Poe, and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a dead ringer for Oscar Wilde.

  43. 43.

    David in NY

    OK, tried again with a section of an actual amicus brief in the Supreme Court — pretty technical. Came out with Daniel Defoe, which is not bad given my prior results.

    I gave it the first three chapters of my WIP and it gave me Nabokov.

    I call bullshit.

    YAFB

    I bunged in some random old blog posts of mine, and got mainly Dan Brown (seems to be the default), with a sprinkling of Kurt Vonnegut, a couple of mystifying H.P. Lovecrafts, one instance of Douglas Adams, and for an intemperate rant about your wingnuts savaging the NHS, P.G. Wodehouse.

    All in all, I’m not complaining.

  47. 47.

    This poem by Richard Wilbur:

    A Shallot

    The full cloves
    Of your buttocks, the convex
    Curve of your belly, the curved
    Cleft of your sex–

    Out of this corm
    That’s planted in strong thighs
    The slender stem and radiant
    Flower rise.

    came out as James Joyce.

  48. 48.

    tt crews

    I came up Isaac Asimov for a blog piece on a local redevelopment project. My daughter’s MFA thesis is H G Wells.

    I put up my 10 year old son’s letter to his pen pal and he came out Stephen King. So…does my 10 yo write like King or does King write like a 10 yo?

  49. 49.

    JD Rhoades

    I gave it a blog post and it gave me Vonnegut. Then I gave it three chapters of SAFE AND SOUND and it gave me…Douglas Adams?!

    I put in a passage from a published short story, a page from the mystery novel that’s at a publisher waiting for word, and a passage from the new novel I’m working on. I am apparently the bastard love child of James Joyce and Stephen King.

    I’m still trying to figure out if that’s good or bad, at least from a commercial standpoint if not a literary one.

    Yes, I needed one more useless thing to do that is a complete time suck and keeps me from doing any productive work. Sigh.

  52. 52.

    debbie

    Hmm. The first time, I got Nabokov. I then reposted the exact same text and got David Foster Wallace.

  53. 53.

    Bill Murray

    I compared the Beatles “I wanna hold your hand”, which came out as JD Salinger with “Let it Be” which came out as James Joyce, so I guess there was some growth during that career

  55. 55.

    JGabriel

    Hmm. After being told I write like Stephen King, Dan Brown, and Arthur Conan Doyle, I posted the following in the I Write Like analysis field:

    Looking into the rearview mirror, he realized that a car had been tailing him all along. He had never had any doubt he was being followed, but so far they had acted with masterly discretion. Today a radical change had taken place: they wanted him to know about them.
    __
    In the middle of some fields, about fifteen miles outside of Prague there was a tall fence with a car-repair shop behind it. He had a good friend there and needed him to replace a faulty starter. He pulled up to the entrance. It was blocked by a red and white striped gate. A heavy woman was standing beside it. Mirek waited for her to raise the gate, but she just stared at him, motionless. He honked his horn, but got no response. He looked out the window.
    __
    “Not behind bars yet?” asked the woman.
    __
    “No, not yet,” answered Mirek. “How about raising the gate?”
    __
    She looked at him impassively for a few more long sentences, then yawned, went over to the gatekeeper’s cabin, dropped into a desk chair, and turned her back on him.
    __
    So he got up out of the car, walked around the gate, and went into the service area to look for his friend the mechanic. The mechanic came back with him. He raised the gate himself (the woman was still sitting impasively in the cabin), and Mirek drove his car in.
    __
    “That’s what you get for showing off on television,” said the mechanic. “Every broad in the country knows what you look like.”
    __
    “Who is she?” Mirek asked.
    __
    He learned that the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Russian troops, which had made themselves felt everywhere, had changed her life as well. Seeing that people in higher places (and everyone was higher than she was) were being deprived of power, status, employment, and daily bread on the basis of the slightest allegation, she got all excited and started denouncing people herself.
    __
    “Then how come she’s still working the gate? Haven’t they even promoted her?”
    __
    The mechanic smiled. “They can’t. She doesn’t know how to count to five. All they can do is let her go on with her denunciations. That’s her only reward.”
    __
    Mirek was suddenly aware of someone a few steps away. He turned and saw a man in a gray jacket, white shirt and tie, and brown slacks. His strong neck and bloated face were toppped by a shock of artificially waved gray hair. He stood there watching the mechanic under the raised hood.
    __
    After a while, the mechanic noticed him too. “Looking for somebody?” he asked, straightening up.
    __
    “No,” answered the man with the strong neck and wavy hair. “I’m not looking for anybody.”
    __
    The mechanic leaned down over the engine again and said, “Right in the middle of Prague, Wenceslaus Square, there’s this guy throwing up. And this other guy comes along, takes a look at him, shakes his head, and says, ‘I know just what you mean'”

    Milan Kundera will be pleased to know he writes just like Stephen King.

    (Yeah, it’s a long quote, but I included it so other people could test it for themselves.)

    I got H.P. Lovecraft (from an essay on Gertrude’s guilt in Hamlet), then David Foster Wallace, Chuck Palahniuk, and Ursula Guin.

    Obviously I need to publish.

  61. 61.

    John Harrold

    I submitted four different things and I got three different answers:

    Vladimir Nabokov
    David Foster Wallace (twice)
    Mark Twain

    Being only semi-literate I’ve only read Twain, so I have no idea if he is similar to the other two.

    John Cain

    The people on your twitter feed are idiots. This isn’t analyzing your writing, it’s spitting out a random author. Hence the commenters above submitting the same posts and getting different authors, and why everyone in the blogosphere seems to write like a famous author and not, say, a five year old.

    The key to understanding these “analyzers” that crop up every few months is the “mac journal software” up there. Notice how that’s a link? This is some advertiser’s cheap way of boosting its product’s Google ranking by exploiting the vanity of bloggers. You have been snookered, good sir.

    As a control experiment, I fed it Palin’s latest Facebook post.

    I don’t know what she’s paying her ghostwriter, but yes, it came back Dan Brown.

    So did her GOP Convention VP acceptance speech.

    Her latest Tweet? Stephen King.

  64. 64.

    Bill E Pilgrim

    Yeah okay. I just pasted in a chapter of Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five, and it came back:

    “You write like Raymond Chandler.”

    I think we have an updated magic 8 ball here, basically.

    Hart Williams

    I don’t know how much credibility I can cede this parlor game.

    I just went back over a week’s worth of blogs, and posted nice big chunks of prose. Thus far I write like

    William Gibson
    Edgar Allan Poe
    H.P Lovecraft
    James Joyce

    I’m not THAT big a chameleon.

    Probably more useful to go to the Post Modernist Generator and whip up some REAL garbledy-gook. :-)

    Hmmm. Wonder who THEY write like?

    After repeated plays with this, with my graduate thesis, Facebook posts, and my manifestos, I have come back as writing like David Foster Wallace every time except for one (Dickens).

    Fewer footnotes, though, I SWEAR.

    I tried submitting several things, and got:
    * Stephen King

    Though for the record, I hope it’s wrong about Dan Brown.

    I quit the Internets.

    Sure it’s just a bogus meme to pass the time on a slow news day, so of course I pasted in a few posts. Got Steven King, Dan Brown and Vonnegut. Decided to quit with Vonnegut.

  84. 84.

    RedKitten

    I also got David Foster Wallace for most of my submissions, except for once when I got James Joyce and once when I got Margaret Atwood.

    So it’s a fun parlour game — who cares if it means anything? If nothing else, it’s intrigued me enough to want to read some of Wallace’s work.

  85. 85.

    I typed in a short bit about my local garden center. Stopped by to get some sweet corn, peaches and nice jersey tomatoes.

    @b-psycho: “I had to look up who H.P. Lovecraft was”….
    He, obviously, was the greatest horror writer of all time.

    I had to look up who psycho was….

    I plugged in 5 paragraphs from the 2000 US Supreme Court decision in Gore v. Bush, selected more or less at random (a chunk starting at Section II-A, just to avoid too many case citations) – result: Dan Brown

    I had never heard of this before five minutes ago, and wheeee! Very fun.

    I put in three very different (I thought) passages, and came up David Foster Wallace each time — which was both a compliment, I thought, and odd, because I’ve never read so much as a page of David Foster Wallace. (I know, I know. I’ll go out to the woodshed later).

    But then I put in something that I wrote in a good mood about an evening in the backyard with a fire going in my new firebowl — and boom! I’m JK Rowling!

    Take away: I should work more on maintaining a good mood. But it will apparently be very hard.

    Chad N Freude

    I, too, got David Foster Wallace. Does that mean that that a lot of us here are capable of sometimes brilliant, frequently entertaining, and often tedious writing? Or does it suggest a limited writer base or analysis algorithm for the computer (don’t forget that it’s a computer doing this) analysis? And how can anyone be compared to Wallace without writing a lot of footnotes?

  110. 110.

    Zoogz

    The very first thing I put in was a bit of a fanfic that I’d written, being a ten-year veteran.

    Out spits “Stephenie Meyer”. And not only that, but I see that I got beat to it as well.

    Talk about abject shame.

    I stuck three blog posts through it as well. Two ended up as H.P. Lovecraft, the final as David Foster Wallace.

    I still cannot bear the shame of the first analysis, though.

    It’s gonna be counting sentence lengths and things- looking at structural elements. I don’t know how deep it goes, but I have a funny story about this thing…

    Back at the beginning of this year, I switched from trying to draw a daily comic to WRITING that story, which I’ve got about 100K words down now. I kicked it off with some colorful exposition, which I pasted into the web toy.

    Says I write like J.D. Salinger.

    Salinger lived about half an hour from me, to the north, and I never knew it. And right when I decided to switch over to novel form- he DIED.

    Fucker obviously haunted me because I was the only writer handy who was as reclusive as he was…

    Feeling puckish, I just submitted David Brooks’ latest NY Times column into the algorithmic maw.

    It spit out: David Foster Wallace.

    Were that magnificent writer still to be walking amongst us (1), I can’t imagine which David would be more horrified by this literary insta-analysis.

    I dare say it might also puncture that quick tickle of pride some of us might have felt when our own writing was deemed to be Wallace-esque.

    According to this thing, I write like David Foster Wallace. Ridiculous. Wallace uses sentence fragments and obscure obnubilations replete with footnotes.[1]

    Good fun. After reading a lot of the comments I first put a few paragraphs from my dissertation where I define and explain some Arabic terms, and got Dan Brown. Then I put a long paragraph where I used the words -vault, curdling, bastion, dark and clammy – and got Lovecraft.

    I think I get it.

    Hilarious! I submitted three sections of a non-fiction piece that is out there waiting to be published. These three sections were three paragraphs each, and they appear consecutively in the work. Here are the results of that experiment.

    #1 – Chuck Pahluniak (beats me, I never heard of him either)

    #2 – Anne Rice

    #3 – James Joyce

    This may be the first time ever that Anne Rice and James Joyce have been mentioned together.

    James Joyce & David Foster Wallace (whoever he is — and yes, I checked, and still don’t know).

    Chapter 8 – David Foster Wallace
    Chapter 9 – Charles Dickens.

    Gotta say, that last one blows my mind.

    I put in three things I wrote.

    The first was an email to family, it said I write like Dan Brown.

    The second was a little tribute to Balloon Juice, it said I write like William Gibson.

    The third was an email to my best friend, it said I write like David Foster Wallace.

    The funniest is number one, because I self-censor heavily when writing to family, though I must admit it made my heart sink a little bit, being compared to Dan Brown.

    4 different samples yielded 4 different results. poetry wound up interesting too. i got nabakov, joyce, atwood, brown, margert mitchell (probably the palm trees) and david foster wallace.

    the site is a front for someone trying to sell you a book on how to submit proposals to publishers. i suppose it’s a step up from a vanity press, but i’d personally avoid giving them any more traffic.

    …wait, they are trying to enlist you, amway style:

    If you are interested in selling these eBooks on your own Web site, blog, or email list, you can Join our Affiliate Program! You will earn 50% of the retail price for each sale (excluding purchases you make yourself).

    fuck’em. leeches. probably have a vanity arm as well.
