Hey there, recently discovered this fun thing and thought that I might share it with ya’ll.
Essentially it’s a text analyzer to find out which famous author do you write like, style-wise. Just copy/paste a chapter or something of a story into the box and in a few seconds you’ll get results. The longer the better.
Is it accurate? I pasted a chapter from two different stories and got the same results, so I’ll say it’s probably leaning more towards trustworthy. Then again, this is just for fun.
I got Agatha Christie. Who did you get? Do you think it’s accurate?
Here is the link…hopefully it works…: https://iwl.me/
And now for some tags… (Wow this just makes me realise how little of you I’ve actually friended.)

Would you mind letting me know
If hours don't turn into daysNovember 12, 2020 at 8:59 am #87164I analyzed 4 pieces of my text and the three that were written in third-person said I was most like Agatha Christie and the one written primarily in first-persons claimed I wrote like Anne Rice.
I don’t even know who those two are. 😅
Tis interesting though!

November 12, 2020 at 11:15 am #87168I also got Agatha Christie. I think it’s biased. XD

November 12, 2020 at 12:28 pm #87170@r-m-archer The first time around I actually go Stephen King, haha. But I think it was too short of a snippet. I tried both first and third, same results. Perhaps it’s the way we’ve been trained?
@millennium Agatha Christie was a very lit mystery author.
@william-starkey I’m assuming you got the same? XDLately, it's been on my brain

@devastate-lasting @r-m-archer @millennium @jenwriter17 @william-starkey
Well, I write in multiple different voices, so I tried several different excerpts. The first time I got Jonathan Swift. Next excerpt, same voice, and I got Arthur Clarke. Different voice, Anne Rice. My voice, Agatha Christie. All were in first-person.
Third-person Jane Austen-esque (in my opinion) excerpt got Agatha Christie. (I think they have a limited database.)
November 12, 2020 at 12:53 pm #87173@r-m-archer @devastate-lasting @gracie-j @millennium Yeah, I got H.G. Wells on my first try (an excerpt from my fantasy/pirate project Into the Deep which I only just wrote out). Then some Anne Rice or whatever, then Agatha Christie, then Anne Rice again. Yeah. I think it’s biased. XD
Gee. We all write like famous authors. Neat.

@devastate-lasting Gee. That’s more than I’d expected.
@william-starkey Well, I guess you can say that you write like Agatha Christie now. May not be true, but someone said so, so… I was kind of hoping to get Jane Austen, though.I’m suddenly interested in how Anne Rice writes now.
November 12, 2020 at 1:44 pm #87181@william-starkey Mm I just got Cory Doctorow for a short section…maybe short vs long makes a bit more of a difference. Perhaps it got overwhelmed by long.
@gracie-j There’s like 50 of them. Famous authors, I guess. Was hoping for Ray Bradbury XD

If hours don't turn into daysNovember 12, 2020 at 2:06 pm #87183Well, even if it’s biased, I’ll still take the compliment any way! 😀
Agatha Christie gang, here I come!
@gracie-j
I looked up Anne Rice just now, and I didn’t realize there were so many Christian Vampire authors. (She is one of a couple others I know), The market must be much bigger than I first realized.
November 12, 2020 at 3:14 pm #87187@kathleenramm XD Now we can tell other people we write like Agatha Christie and they wouldn’t know the better.
