What's your writing style?

I hope this hasn't been posted anywhere before, but a quick search turned out no result. This is a nice little toy - for fun - analyzing your writing and telling you which author your writing style is closest to:

My writing turned out to be similar to that of Edgar Allan Poe. That's nice - and it was a characterization of a character for a roleplaying game

Have fun.

Well every piece of my work i paste in it brings up a different author i write like, none of which I've ever read the books of, although i might. >.>

Yeah, it was developed for fun by a russian, but it's not entirely stupid or nonsense, from what I've read about it.

It's interesting to copy-paste some passages from works of known authors and see if they really write like themselves, or like someone else.

Pretty nice little gadget.. Apparently I write like George Orwell

I got Dan Brown on my first try, Edgar Allen Poe on my second.I get a different author each time though.

Analyzed about three paragraphs from an old A/S level English essay - apparently I write like H.P. Lovecraft! Yaye!

Edit: Nope, I pasted the rest of the essay and I write like J.D. Salinger now

H.P. Lovecraft apparently.

Based upon two separate Historical essays and part of my dissertation. Ah well time to poke around that old abandoned church nearby, there's been some odd lights coming from the main spire at night.

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

Very interesting, I analysed three of my Short Tolkien Fan Fics (See my sig) and got J.K. Rowling twice and finally Tolkien himself! Nice that it recognised that I was trying to do his style. I'm gonna have to reread a Harry Potter book because I don't remember anything sounding like what I wrote in the first two...

Mario Puzo, apparently.

I write either like Jonathan Swift or HP Lovecraft.

Annie Rice.

Wasn't her the Yahtzee wrote about? I failed, then.

For the first chapter of my story for a Historical Fiction class, I got Dan Brown
My college essay, however, came back as Annie Rice.

Kurt Vonnegut

so it seems.

Cory Doctorow.

Eh, well, I guess I'll go and read his works and see what his style is. I know mine. It's right here in front of me. I have a hard time emulating talented writers.

It was a blog post though.

so very utilitarian. I couldn't scrounge up any of my works of fiction because this is a new computer and I haven't transferred data yet.

This post got me, "Kurt Vonnegut"

Both pretty cool guys.

Jonathan Swift, apparently.

James Joyce. Hell, yeah...

Hmmm... Jonathan Swift comes up a lot.

For a history paper I'm writing about the US Constitution I got Edgar Allen Poe.

It seems my result is James Fenimore Cooper. He wrote The Last of the Mohicans, nice. The text, in case you're curious, is from an English essay that I've done and submitted just yesterday.

I write like
J. K. Rowling

Great, off to go kill myself now. No idea I wrote shite.
