Tsk, tsk, I can't believe you're insulting DR and writerboy's style. Actually, if I was DR, I'd be happier with the leGuin comparison, because she ROCKS.

Le Guin right after Dan Brown, and I did like the comparison. She's at least in my genre. I'm sure my writing is closer to Dan Brown's than hers, however. I've never written anything in third omniscient. |

On of my potential projects is a children's story featuring the arbolenx (sentient, tree-dwelling, feline creatures from the Vaetra Chronicles). I think narrative voice would work best for what I have in mind. That project is a ways off though. |

Aw, hugs, Daniel. I only posted the link as a bit of fun. No need to take it seriously. (I knew it wasn't serious when it told me I wrote like Shakespeare. Ha!

I got Charles Dickens and Vladmir Nabokov, depending on if it was Gastien or a book from There Was a House.

Three different sections of my book, three different authors. First: L. Frank Baum of Oz fame. Second: Neil Gaiman- happier with that one. And Finally: James Joyce.
The funny thing is, I have never read any of these authors' works. Maybe now I will!

I'm comfortable with both. Oddly, when reading about their styles, the two do have some common characteristics.
Andrew, I think yours fits. Here is what they say about him: His writing style was unlike any other. Robert Louis Stevenson was a genius. He was an author who demonstrates eloquence in his style of writing and creativity and imagination in his story themes. He is known for adventure and lucidity. He didn't go on and on with boring details, but gave enough to create a solid picture that enhanced the plot and moved it forward.
So, not a bad writer to be compared to!
