I think the first one is real because it would be the most difficult style to affect deliberately. Reads like someone whose first language is not English as well as not knowing where to draw the line between narrative and author's note.

The second one could be fake because it's a bunch of Suvian cliches without any obvious writing tics (other than an improper semicolon), easy enough to fake, but that one specific detail about the family name gives me pause. Why Bellagio? Seems like something that could have specific importance to the author—but then again, it could be something randomly pulled out of nowhere. Or both!

The third one could be fake because it reminds me of "The Girl and Her Dragon," and I can totally see Iximaz pulling that off. It's not quite the same tic, though, since there are actual sentences here, even if they are improperly run together in a single paragraph. The weird spacing around the punctuation is another thing I feel like I've seen somewhere before. It could be a deliberate recombination of different problems, or it could just be terrible writing.

Hmmm.

I'm gonna go with the second one being the fake. It just seems like the easiest to make up.
