SCP Foundation

I found out about this site about a year and a half ago. You input your text and it tells you, well, who you write like! Here's their explanation of the algorithm. I thought it'd be fun to post here and see what sorts of different results we all get. (Keep in mind it probably works better for tales due to general writing style.)

I'll start us off: When I put in Too Cold to Live, Too Young to Die, I get Agatha Christie. When I put in Home for the Holidays, I get… Agatha Christie again! And when I put in And What Was a Soul to That Blank White World, I get Arthur Clarke! (I could go on, obvs. I used to get Chuck Tingle a lot when I used this in my old writing days, oh lordy.) And so on, and so forth. It's just a fun little thing.

I got Agatha Christie for The 12 Days of Site 87's Christmas, and for from the Medical Tragedy of Dr. Bartholemew Artz, Author Unknown, I get… Agatha Christie.

So, now I guess we know who really wrote Shakespeare's plays. Agatha Christie! In all seriousness, I don't think this site actually does as advertised.

I don't know why I got a writer of Gothic vampire erotica after putting in The Fountain of Lamneth of all pieces.

Okay, either the SCP style is similar to Christie's writing or Agatha Christie is the true author of the SCP Foundation (which could be a workable premises for something, I guess).

EDIT: It's not always Christie, but they all have names starting with "A" somehow.

I put in one of my WIP tales and got Stephen King.

Beat that.

Snakes and Ladders —> Agatha Christie
Salut d'Amour —> Arthur Clarke
Decompression —> Agatha Christie
Ailier —> Agatha Christie
Birdseed —> Agatha Christie
Sacrifice —> Arthur Clarke
Memory of a Masterpiece —> Arthur Clarke

Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhh not really feeling the power of the algorithm here.

I put on of my rough drafts in, and I got Vladimir Nabokov

I put another one in and got, David Foster Wallace

and Yet another one, was Stephen King.

I believe that those who have a greater understanding of "Foundation-Style Writing" seem to get Agatha Christie because those styles tend to be really similar in a cold, gritty detached way.
_{also Hercule Poirot vs SCP Project Crossover When ?}

As an aside, I inputted 173's text and got Dan Brown.

Gotham's Strangest Criminal and SCP-2352 - Arthur C. Clarke

I remember some years back putting a Lovecraft pastiche of mine through this and it catching it. Now, though…

Agatha Christie got SCP-2577, SCP-2977, SCP-2477 (although the log was written by Stephen King) and SCP-2438 (although Madeline Weaver was written by Cory Doctorow)

Arthur C. Clarke got my S&C Plastics tale, SCP-2177, and friggin' SCP-2771

I honestly haven't read enough Christie to say if we borked the algorithm or we if have a type.
