Huh, Ursula K Le Guin [sic]
Yeah, was it a Sci-Fi/Fantasy thing? She seems to write them.

Yup. I've read her Earthsea books, they're... okay, I guess. Just don't read the last book.

I don't know, Earthsea sounds like a some what generic name pulled from a bland mind. Like naming something Bolderstone, or Eaglehawk.

Then again, title alone does not make for a good assessment of anything, much less a book.

Apparently my most recent story was written like Gertrude Stein. I've never read any of her work, but that keeps in line with what I understand of her writing, although the story was influenced most by episodes 4 and 5 from Ulysses (and Homestuck since it was Homestuck fanfiction). I put an older story in and it came up with Joyce, who was definitely a major influence on that work along with Burroughs.

On the other hand, I put in a recent low fantasy story that I consider to be plainspoken and it was also analyzed as Joycean, which I wouldn't say is the case.

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Okay. I admit it, I laughed.

Eh, she wrote a lot of fairly groundbreaking fiction works about gender and sexuality.

Ah, okay.

My most recent piece of creative writing (a first draft, but still) returned Gertrude Stein. Have yet to read something from her.

Funny, when I inserted I bunch of "h"es:

Quote from: toady
Here are some more city schematics. These are all cities with 3-gated walls and very basic castles, and all but the last have a narrow river with several short bridges. That sort of thing is fairly easy to vary, but in this set I've varied the amount of city instead -- the pictures have higher and higher populations as you go down the list. It's more homesteady and less manorial than the older village pictures. In order to expedite how it works with the rest of the world map/movement/etc., it still respects 48x48 tile sections, though that can soften a bit in the future. It should also be able to handle curved road segments without other adjustments (they are all straight now since that's the fastest type to throw in). The river is blocky since I didn't bother constructing the specifics from the fully realized map, but I'll be messing with that more when we get to real tiles. The next set of pictures should involve the actual in-game tiles if everything works out.

I sort of wish the analyser would give you a tidbit of the writer's well... work as well as some biographical information.

It would help quite a bit with understanding why this machine compares you to certain writers without forcing you to find out information on some random writer you may have never heard of.

Note: By the by the above text... makes me like Edgar Allen Poe... It just seems random now.
