I Write Like a Guy (mostly)

Blame [livejournal.com profile] librarygorilla for this fascinating time-waster!



First, I tested my LJ entry about vuvuzelas. Maybe it picked up the working class Englishness of football:


I write like
Ian Fleming

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




Then, I tested my Iron Man 2 article and got an appropriate answer:


I write like
Kurt Vonnegut

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




Surprisingly, my Supernatural piece in Transformative Works and Cultures yielded this result:


I write like
Isaac Asimov

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




A short story published in the anthology The Waters of Life started out with promise:


I write like
Margaret Atwood

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




...but ended on a sour note!


I write like
Dan Brown

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

I can't quote the source, but one commenter saw the meme author's response on why it was all white males (with a couple of white females thrown in for spice):

"It's just COINCIDENCE that all the people he picked were white and most of them male; he doesn't CONSIDER race and gender at all in making his choices, and REFUSES to add anyone else simply because they're non-white and/or female, and the REAL racists are the people who NOTICED what he did, because if you were REALLY color-blind you wouldn't notice it AT ALL. Ptui. "
