I just found this on a forum I use. Who do you write like?
www.iwl.me/b/b3a26720

Insert a passage of text that you've written from your blog, here, unfinished novel, dissertation etc... and it tells you whose style you most resemble.

I got Stephen King and Anne Rice.

James Fenimore Cooper
yep I have no idea either? Stephen King is pretty cool though. Have you read his Dark Tower series?

EDIT - He wrote Last Of The Mohicans so actually pretty chuffed!!

Possibly
Only two of them (Dave!* and Ainadae) had arrived by the time I went back from uni, and the porters are being rubbish about forwarding on mail at the moment. (theres a massive long ranty story to go with this, but I'll spare it)

*which unfortunately didnt work otherwise I'd have "accidentally" put a CD full of speedcore in the cd player in the college gym then left the volume on maximum

You may not have got it, I sent it off pretty late.
The sleeve was handwritten, and the packet would have had a return address in West Yorkshire.

I will get it sometime
When my mail eventually gets forwarded. Could be a while though.

Worst case, I'll have a load of stuff to listen to in fresher's week when I get back

he's written a few sci fi-y things
including Little Brother, which I really liked

He's also the dude who does boingboing

it sounded familiar
I'm going to go and post some more text through the filter to see if it comes up with the same author or if, as it appears from the other b3tans comments, that it's a bit bollocks.
( djtrialprice, Wed 21 Jul 2010, 23:43, Reply)

I got another
Cory Doctorow but also one Chuck Palahniuk, a H. P. Lovecraft, a rather flattering George Orwell and completely insulting Dan Talentless-Twat Brown.

Yep, the filter is balls.

Pet hate of mine
People hear my accent and assume that my spelling and grammar will be equally appalling, but they're generally not bad at all.
It bugs me that when I say 'aitch' people assume it's because I'm common, and not because I'm saying it correctly.

Apropos of nothing
I like the Welsh bird in the Newport video currently on the popular page of Links. It's a sickness. I also have a friend the same age as me who is literally petrified of clowns. I'm tempted to send him a link to the zombie clown video also on the Links popular page.

do that thing where you send a clown to stalk him over a few days,
it's fucking terrifying.

Any idea how this thing works?
I pasted two of my lengther, non-sex-lie qotw answers and was compared to Cory Doctorow and then H.P Lovecraft. Given I don't think I've read anything by either of these people, I don't know how to respond to this revelation.
