... Anne Rice. Well, not you, but me. At least according to this 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...

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...

Thanks for the hint.

I got James Joyce on my first try, so I stopped right there ....

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)

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.
