Allegedly, I write like Cory Doctorow.  I learned this by having several of my more wordy Tumblr posts analysed.  Depending on mood, topic, time of day and phase of moon, I apparently also write like David Foster Wallace, James Joyce, Chuck Palahniuk, Margaret Mitchell and Dan Brown.  But Cory Doctorow came up five times[1] and the others only once, so I figure that’s statistically significant enough to prove unequivocally that I write like Cory Doctorow. I don’t mind this at all. I quite like Cory Doctorow’s works and am very much a fan of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.  So, go me. I do get the feeling that this algorithm is rigged though, the post that suggested I wrote like Dan Brown was actually my rant about attitudes towards faith. [1] I just analysed this post[2] and it also came up Cory Doctorow. So that makes six. [2] Ooh, recursive.
