Dagger (played by Jane)

I have been looking for new books (in english) for my ebook-reader, to improve my english grammar for roleplay.
I am german, and while most people do not notice it, I still think my posts are not perfect and want to improve.

I googled, and found a neat site you might enjoy aswell: http://iwl.me/

I did use a paragraph of my previous roleplay, and got:

I have never read a single book of her, but somehow it sounds like an insult.

Anne rice? It could have been worse? I dont think its an insult though...

Anne Rice is an American author of gothic fiction, Christian literature, and erotica. She is perhaps best known for her popular and influential series of novels, The Vampire Chronicles, revolving around the central character of Lestat.

He was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century.

I always knew that your roleplays are awesome ;)

Seems legit - reading a few little portions of Gone with the Wind, I can see it.

Bwahaha, I do not dare to read Anne Rice now. Gone With The Wind, sounds like an amazing comparison.
I've seen this before but it always flip-flopped to different authors when I did it. I can't say it's a terribly accurate site but it's cute nonetheless!

This time around I frequently got James Joyce.
Using some of my most recent posts by Austin, I got H.P. Lovecraft and Douglas Adams.

I know who both of these people are, but I've only read about halfway through the Hitchhikers' Guide.

Yayy?

The hitchhikers guide is amazing <3

Just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the beady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward of noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Hence a phrase which has passed into hitch hiking slang, as in
"Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."
I got Anne Rice several times. LOL

Okay, I took one of my random posts from a rp and I got
I write like
Chuck Palahniuk


Hmm, he wrote fight club, I am unsure if this is good or bad (it was a good film though), I plan to try this again and see if I get similar results

edit: Okay I tried again, and I got
I write like
Anne Rice


I take this as a good thing.

ps: For fun I hit the keyboard at random, and made a mess of letters. It then told me
I write like
William Shakespeare


ROFL
Ulysses

How in the name of <insert violent hyperbole here> did you get the actual badge to display in the thread?

Also I received:

Mary Shelley (Good)
James Joyce (sweet heysus yessss)
H.P. Lovecraft (and there goes my belt buckle)

These are based on (in order) an excerpt of short horror/fantasy fiction, prose poetry, and essay.

Like so.

Save image, upload to a site for images, then use the picture img /img code with the url for the image in-between it. Then it posts.

example: img http://picurlhere.png /img
With [ & ] around the img code. (its the picture button when you edit or make a new post next to the other buttons above the text box)

I hope I helped.
Apparently I write like George Orwell. Interesting...
Ulysses

The problem I am having is that (in my browser) the badge itself is multiple parts with only the feather in the upper right corner consisting of an actual image file. I'm figuring Dagget took a screenshot and cropped it out to upload. I'm not willing to do that because murka
