Dan Brown.

Going by the last paper I wrote for my English Lit survey class, H. P. Lovecraft.

Submitted some nonfiction and two poems. Got Vladimir Nabokov, Margaret Atwood and David Foster Wallace.

This website is an ego-buffer.

EDIT: As an experiment, I submitted, "fuck fuck shit beer beer alcohol prostitute fuck," but got William Gibson instead of Bukowski. Alright then.

I had the same idea, posted some Clarke and got Poe back.

Continuing the trend, I submitted the entire first book of Aurora Leigh (hundreds of lines in blank verse by Elizabeth Barrett Browning) and got Lovecraft. Considering Lovecraft drew inspiration from Poe, who borrowed a thing or two from Browning (including the meter and rhyme scheme for "The Raven"), it almost makes sense. Almost.

I got Ursula K. Le Guin. Don't ask me why.

http://nmaps.net/user/geti · Postby **Geti** » 2010.07.15 (23:25)

I got Poe and then James Joyce and then David Foster Wallace. Tempted to say I'm closer to the latter :P

I used a nonsense poem I wrote and got Dan Brown. Which I'm guessing is because of The Da Vinci Code. badumtssh

Douglas Adams.

David Foster Wallace, based on an extremely negative paper I wrote about College Board for AP Lang, and Mary Shelley based on a paper I wrote about net neutrality for the same class. So basically, I may or may not be Tsukatu.

Oh, and my post in that Chinese labor camp topic came back as George Orwell, which I found pretty appropriate.

I just spammed "diarrhea" and it resulted in J. D. Salinger.

o_O I got David Foster Wallace too

http://nmaps.net/user/script · Postby **Scrivener** » 2010.07.16 (00:45)

Dan Brown and Stephen King, using a few old essays for school. My stupid english teacher deleted all my essays from this year, though.

http://nmaps.net/user/Orion_ · Postby **Broghan** » 2010.07.16 (01:53)

Hmm. I pasted in the first paragraph from a book that I was writing ages ago, and it came up with Dan Brown. I posted the second paragraph, and I got Edgar Allen Poe. Hmm.

I put in some of my writing and got Stephen King. Shitshitshit, not Stephen king. Why couldn't I have gotten Poe or HG wells or Ted Hughes or Raymond Carver or something? Shit, not Stephen King.

Then I read this. I'm now convinced that this website is like those "Free I.Q. tests" that invariably spit out a number over 130 so that you don't mind getting bombarded with ads and "offers." Well, it's not that bad, but the "Learn how to get publisher's attention!" link certainly isn't helping this website's case.

Vonnegut! which i'm kinda stoked with, even despite its innacuracies

EDIT: And Mark Twain

http://nmaps.net/user/T3chno · Postby **T3chno** » 2010.07.16 (02:21)

After putting in "derp" 15 times, I got Harry Harrison. Putting in 3 more "derp"s, I get Stephenie Meyer. Putting in about 300 more, I get Mark Twain.

Flawed system is fail.

It's common knowledge that Mark Twain was an enormous fan of Derp.
