Atwood was bemused/offended to discover she writes like Stephen King and James Joyce. But the funny part was that when I ran a post about it (http://shouldersofgiantmidgets.blogspot.com/2010/07/flattered-by-website-id-never-heard-of.html) through Like I write, the result was that the post was written like... Margaret Atwood. So she's in their database, she just doesn't write like herself, apparently.
I'll take being told that I write like Vonnegut as flattery, though I don't really believe it, it's not consciously done if it is true, and I think the algorithm they're using is totally frelled.
I stumbled across it via Margaret Atwood's tweets...
