Tool that supposedly analyzes your writing and tells who you write like, though it's screwy--Stephen King apparently writes like Margaret Atwood instead of himself, and it's only got a few writers in the database, supposedly.

Dell Rusk in full Snigtad mode wrote like Stephen King.

Bizarro the Grin writes like David Foster Wallace.

Grimlock also writes like David Foster Wallace.

So does Snigtad Flornbi. (Who is this guy?)

According to the snippet of her book that Zaphod quoted, Sarah Palin writes like Vladimir Nabokov.

The kicker, though: Zaphod himself writes like Bram Stoker.

My opinion? Site is full of shit and receiving too much media coverage for its utter shit.

According to a post from elsewhere, I write like Stephen King. Which means I write like Dell Rusk. I can live with that.

I posted a few segments of the CMT fanfic (careful to only choose the parts I wrote) and got James Joyce- fascinating :ducks:

The Grin writes like Steven King, J. D. Salinger, James Joyce, or Chuck Palahniuk depending on the post. Bizarro the Grip writes like James Joyce. Does James Joyce write with a terrible Spanish accent?

I write like David Foster Wallace. Not sure if I feel comfortable being grouped with Bizarro the Grin and Grimlock.

No. But I do seem to recall that Finnegan's Wake had a ton of suggestive references to spicy salsa.
