Gender Wackiness

[przed]

fileg pointed to the Gender Genie.

The blurb on the site reads: Inspired by an article in The New York Times Magazine, the Gender Genie uses a simplified version of an algorithm developed by Moshe Koppel, Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and Shlomo Argamon, Illinois Institute of Technology, to predict the gender of an author.

I figured I'd give it a whirl with some of my stories, just for a lark.

The majority of my UNCLE and VigBean stories came up male. But the Pros stories were rated overwhelmingly female. All of which is pretty much the exact opposite of what I expected.

Interesting.

I always come out male. I did it again with the story I'm currently working on and the vamp tale I wrote with nsandik just now.

Still male although the second, not surprisingly was close. :)

I usually score male, or androgynous, on this sort of thing. But if any of my stories were going to show as female, I'd have guessed it would be the Lord of the Rings stuff. Certainly not the Pros.

I'd love to see where nsandik falls with her solo stuff.
