I uploaded the first 3 chapters of Railroaded and IWL said I write like Cory Doctorow. I then uploaded the first 3 chapters of my WIP and IWL says I write like P.G.Wodehouse.

Spikethecat had a competition called &#8216;The Last Laugh&#8216; so I submitted my story &#8216;The Lost Journeyman&#8217;. Recently I got an email saying it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I submitted a short story to Strange Horizons, an online speculative fiction magazine, and reading their thorough submission guidelines was an education. They have a great section called &#8216;Stories We&#8217;ve Seen Too Often&#8216; which details up to 37 plots which they&#8217;ve seen too many times. Some of them are blatant no-brainers such as &#8216;it&#8217;s all [...]]]></description>
