Place for the Stolen
Like that one guy said: Good writers borrow, great writers steal. Welcome to the place where all things have been lifted, looted, and otherwise pilfered…Remember, possession is 9/10s of the law.
Copying Fleur; or, I Write Like…
If you need a distraction from writing, this is a fun one!
**The Raymond Chandler result was for the La Llorona novel. I threw in bits from my other novel and got Stephen King, threw in a different short story and got James Joyce. It’s fun to see what others come up!

I write dark fiction that my mother hates. I also review mysteries for criminalelement.com. When not writing fiction/reviews, I'm creating plays at Springs Ensemble Theatre in Colorado Springs.
I'll trade you Palahniuk for Chandler.
I really don't mind having Palahniuk, but I'd trade you for Joyce.
And I know you wouldn't mind giving him away. 😉
Nice bit of ego boost, huh?
That's how it went with me, too. Depending on what I entered, I got Palahniuk, King, Joyce, Nabokov or Brown. Brown was the most consistent, though.
Yeah, I threw more stuff in and got: Palahniuk (1), King (4), J.K. Rowling (1), Chandler (2), and Joyce and Atwood 1 respectively. Interesting: Early stuff=King. Influence anyone?
