As a footnote to the amusing thread on computerated VN writealikes, I mention the The Nabokovian ran a contest some years ago on the best VN style imitations from members of the International Nabokov Society--a small but well-informed group. I don't have the issue at hand but perhaps someone can fill us in. As I recall Gene Barabtarlo was the winner but some runner-up entries were also published in the newsletter. 
 
 
It might be amusing to run both some VN texts and "writealikes" through the program that confuse VN's and Dan Brown's writing.
