      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.)

        I 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!

              I also got Agatha Christie. I think it’s biased. XD

                @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? XD

                  @devastate-lasting,

                  Yes, I see she wrote Murder on the Orient Express which I’m familiar with.

                    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.)

                      @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.

                            @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

                              Well, 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.

                                @kathleenramm XD Now we can tell other people we write like Agatha Christie and they wouldn’t know the better.
