Another GD meme

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] alicornmoon, idea to plug nearly every damn thing (or at least the last ten) I've written in there ganked from [livejournal.com profile] bookshop.

The meme

Strength - I write like JKR
The Things That Stay With You, Little Boxes, Black Lace and Arsenic, In That Order, Losers Go to Cabo, BKS ch2, half of nearly everything else I dropped in from TEF - I write like Stephen King
The last Reds drabble I did - I write like Kurt Vonnegut (neat!)
Something Stupid, Concessions, The last part of the second chapter of TEF/More Than Human, the other half of nearly everything else I dropped in from TEF - I write like Chuck Palahniuk (totally makes sense for that part of TEF ch2)
Secret Santa - I write like Vladimir Nabokov
The Very Definition of Underestimating Someone - I write like George Orwell (OAO did not see that coming)
The second part of the first chapter of TEF/More Than Human - I write like J. D. Salinger
Remember this (note to self) - I write like H. P. Lovecraft
This last entry - I write like Shakespeare (BULLSHIT)
This other last entry - I write like Margaret Atwood
The first part of the first chapter of TEF/More Than Human - I write like Dan Brown (dying, oh God dying *stabs self* orz)

Mostly I was trying to see how many different writers I could get. 11, as it turns out. Though I'm curious as to how their algorithm-doohicky-majigger works. (Shakespeare? I mean, WTF.)

Still recovering from Dan Brown, what a blow to my pride

Although at least he only showed up once, thank God

I apparently write like Stephen King...in, like, everything.

Except for my Harry Potter one-shot -- I write like JKR in that one. Go figure.

Most of the "modern" fic writers seem to be getting Stephen King and/or Chuck Palahniuk. I really wonder what kind of parameters the meme is operating under.

Except for my Harry Potter one-shot -- I write like JKR in that one. Awesome! Emulating the style of origin; that should be a sound compliment :D

Modern fic? O.o Are we founding a movement :O?

I wished they would give an explanation as why they picked a certain author, rather than just going, "I write like...(insert author's name)". Makes me question their analysis.

And yeah, I was rather pleased I could copy JKR's writing style while I was writing a fic for her original series :)
