I did this thing about a week ago- one of mine was Dan Brown, too. The other was more embarassing. I decided to quit writing as a result. There are thing I'm better at than that!
I tried it twice and got Arthur C Clarke and Anne Rice. They couldn't be more different!
I also tried it twice and got H.G. Wells and then Stephen King...
It seems a bit random?
I write like Chuck Palahniuk.
About 90% of the authors I follow on the blogosphere who took the time to try this came up with the result, Stephen King. Apparently Mel Gibson's rants are similiar in style to Margaret Atwood.
I heard about this on NPR here yesterday. The programmer only has 50 some odd authors in his database at present and his coding is clever. He'll tinker and tune it up, adding several other authors over time.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
I write like
David Foster Wallace
i wish i knew who he was... i am going to have to do some research now...
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
I put in my devil's eve story and it said I write like Bram Stoker. Hahaha yeah right...
I think it had more to do with the subject matter rather than the writing style.
Chuck Palahniuk whoever that is(wikis furiously)...it's the dude who wrote Fight club...okay that's cool...
I write like Stephen King

I put "Your Eyes" in and it said David Foster Wallace
Who???
Mine was way off, too. It said Stephen King!
Has anyone actually tried to put in some of Stephen kings writing to see if it comes up with, "you write like Stephen King."
If I wasn't at work I'd try to find some of these authors work to see if it guesses correctly.
David Foster Wallace (whoever that is)
Anne Rice
Cory Doctorow (whom I've never heard of)
Hahaha sweet.
I really want to go dig up my copy of It now...
i was Cory Doctorow. dont know who he is, so i guess ill have to go do a little research.
My sex stories are like some person named Cory Doctorow's. But my non-sex stories come up with Ernest Hemingway. Woot.

I write like...Isaac Asimov. I wish I knew he was. I'ma look him up.
Older story... Stephen King
Then a newer story... Rudyard Kipling
Last story about "Collaring my Slut" rated Dan Brown....
so should I start writing similar to his high level mystery style?
So, what do we exactly do with this profound information?
James Joyce. For this bit from The Married Man's Lament
We had just just heard each other's voices and turned our heads to see the source of those first attractive tones. We appraised each other, just as curious people always do when someone attracts their attention. Our eyes met. The simple message that passed between us would brighten our day and inspire us to fantasize about each other the next time we each had sex with our spouse. The message, "Yes, I would do you and yes, I see that you would do me, if only..." need never be spoken. Indeed, neither of us could dare to speak it. Speaking it would cross the line. The last part of our mutual appraisal was the noticing of the wedding rings. We both had our wallets out to pay for our morning jolt. Our symbols of bondage to others were clearly on display. The sadness in our mutual smiles said, "Yes, I am faithful to my spouse, in deed, if not in thought, and yes, it would disturb me if you made a pass at me. I would feel both complimented by the expression of desire and disgusted at the thought that you would cheat on your spouse."
and Cory Doctorow. For this bit from my as yet unpublished Immune To My Beauty
I'm certain I will help some guy get lucky tonight. I'm in the mood for some cock and I have plans within plans. I've shaved my pussy and now I'm fingering it. I'm feeling that tingle as my slick fingertip circles my clit. I stop. I know I look best when I'm cockhungry. I can walk into a room full of men and hear the gasps. I can see the stunned looks on their faces and as each one makes eye contact, when the stunned look leaves them, it is always replaced with desire to satisfy my hunger. Unless they're gay. And even then I can get a satisfying "I wish I was you" look from them.
