Who do you write like?

[Tahuti]

The link between geopolitical opposition to Russia, Atlanticism and Cold War mindset are actually quite strong. It is precisely the reason why newer EU states are more hostile towards Russia and not-suprisingly, more Pro-American as well. It only makes sense to oppose Russia from an Atlanticist POV, with the goal of reacting against other currents that compete with Atlanticism, of which friendly ties with Russia anathema.

Try to think of the EU as a standalone entity and forget about the NATO: What kind of interest do we have to be hostile to Russia? Nil. Again, the USA and the pleas from recent EU states and would-be EU states like Ukraine that propels us into an anti-Russian position we have no reason to take. It only makes sense to be opposed to Russia under the aegis of Atlanticism. Considering Russia long ceased to be the Cold War threat it used to be, Atlanticism should be shed in favour for closer friendship with Russia. Not in the last part because we will have more leverage in such a relationship than the one we currently have with the US. I am not anti-American in any way, yet we need to re-evaluate our ties with the US, similar to what Gaullist France did in the 1960s.

Apparently, this is what William Shakespeare would have wrote like as well, according to the test in the OP...

I also got Dan Brown and Cory Doctorow.

 

[Kyriakos]

I am pretty sure that if one copy/pastes a paragraph by a famous writer (eg Poe) he is likely to get random other authors in their database...

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, i just went and did exactly that...

I pasted this:

You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk.

And:

I write like
Arthur Conan Doyle

Which (tbh) is not that bad a mistake, cause Doyle was very heavily influenced by Poe.
Still...

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I pasted in a couple of things I was working on, and what I got was David Foster Wallace and H. P. Lovecraft.

 

[JollyRoger]

I got JR.

 

[Joecoolyo]

My current paper for my Roman history class gave me William Shakespeare. And my previous essay for my German history class got me Dan Brown.

Et tu, Brown?

 

[Hojsimpson]

I write in spanish so I used google translator to see what the test says.
William Gibson.
I don't know who he is.

When I submitted one of my papers I wrote on CS, I got Arthur C. Clarke!

That's pretty cool I guess...

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I have a fantasy and a SF novel I'm working on as a hobby and I used my longest chapter of each for the test.
Got Anne Rice for fantasy and Douglas Adams for SF.
Seems a bit weird since I actually haven't read any of their books.

 

[Mouthwash]

I put in Stephen King and got Stephen King. I think it makes it more accurate if you use a lengthy entry, not just a couple paragraphs.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I pasted the entire text of Dagon (24 page short tory by Lovecraft) and it gave me Edgar Allen Poe). I guess their styles are somewaht similar.

I also increased the sample size of my SF project and analysed every unfinished chapter that is at least half a page long. I got:
Cory Doctorow (never ehard of him) once.
Douglas Adams twice
Asimov three times
Clarke five times

Seems legit

 

[Quackers]

I got Shakespeare.
I have always fancied myself as a 21st century George Orwell.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I write in spanish so I used google translator to see what the test says.
William Gibson.
I don't know who he is.

SF author who writes cyberpunk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson

To get Douglas Adams, your writing must be somewhat quirky and humorous, or at least satirical.

 

[caketastydelish]

That's exactly how I write!

 

[classical_hero]

For my two most recent paragraphs together I got Arthur Clarke. For just my second most recent paragraph I got David Foster Wallace and my most recent paragraph is why I go ACC in the first place.

 

[Daird]

Stephanie Meyer. OUCH!!!

 

[GoodGame]

It says I write like Mary Shelley.

I guess that is fitting, since I did have to read and analyze 'Frankenstein' intensively in high school.



Also: David Foster Wallace, and Harry Harrison (I have read some of his works when I was young too).

Put some rap lyrics in there. It's fun.

And bible passages: KJV Genesis 1 is like Poe. Then it becomes Shakespeare. LOL

And put some Frankenstein passages in there. Mary Shelley writes like herself. lol

 

[sophie]

I took samples from two essays I wrote - the two I'm probably most proud of.

The first was from my 26-page Anglo-Saxon England research paper which I wrote 2 years ago. That one returned Edgar Allen Poe

The second was two separate paragraphs from a 10-page paper I wrote last year on the condottieri in 14th and 15th century Italy. The first paragraph I submitted returned Ernest Hemingway and the second returned William Shakespeare.

I don't think this thing is really designed for academic papers.

 

[metatron]

Took some random post of the forum. Got Doctorow.
Never heard of him before, but after like 20 seconds of reading about him i think i like him.
