... Anne Rice. Well, not you, but me. At least according to this (http://iwl.me/) website. Although it must be said that when I tried the second time with a different story the result was Cory Doctorow, which quite put a dent into the ego boost I had from the first result.

^ Anne Rice or A.N. Roquelaure? ;)


First one was William Gibson (it's quite close, keeping in mind from which story I took the paragraph). But the second try, using a paragraph of another work, revealed James Joyce (personally, I doubt that one can find stuff like that in Ulysses).

Actually, I have hoped for Goethe and King... :p

Blasphemy! For Johann Wolfgang's sake, Goethe is like ... like ... well, unlike everybody else, because he's Goethe!!!

Also, it's a pity the site only works with English. Would have loved to find out to which author my German smut compares too.

I don't know how much of it showed up in his mainstream writing, but James Joyce was actually an incredibly kinky person. Try googling 'james joyce letters' sometime :)

That might explain it... :D

Thanks for the hint.

lucy, there are worse things in the world than to write like Cory Doctorow. I love me some Beauty but Doctorow's work is, while not as sexy, much better.

I put in three pieces. The first two, which were longer, I got Doctorow. For the third, shorter and punchier one, I got Stephen King. :)

(But I didn't put in anything kinky or from here, it was all other blog posts and writing I put on other sites)
