The differing responses have me curious... Jedi Wolf Sister Send a noteboard - 27/10/2010 02:23:21 AM
So I'm trying some journals this time around instead of excerpts from my fictional silliness. Not just journals from here, but also posts from my WoW guild's forum and my Deviantart account. I seem to be mainly getting Cory Doctorow and Stephen King, leaning more toward Doctorow. However Margaret Atwood and Arthur Conan Doyle also pop up.

The only one of those I can say I've ever read is King. I can live with my writing being compared to his. I just wish it were more the stuff I write as stories than the stuff I write just to keep people posted on what's going on in my personal world. Makes me glad this thing is comparing writing patterns, instead of content. I'd hate for my life to be like a Stephen King novel!

Though apparently this particular tidbit reads like Doctorow. Whoever he is...
I lurk a lot...
