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 remember liking the two Michael Crichton books I read (Jurassic Park, predictably, and Rising Sun), but those were also in my early teens and I don't remember much about the style. Perhaps he's similar to Dan Brown in the way that actual scientists take offense to Crichton's science, and historians take offense to Brown's history?

It's not so much the actual details that I dislike, just that he had to be so dry about it. I like when writing has a bit more life and personally :3 Not so much when it is like a textbook...Of course some textbooks can be fun but...

*read 1984 and Animal Farm in her early teens of her own free will and was thinking 'What's so important about the year after I was born? XD'*
