I took a few blog entries and came out with...

Stephen King
Margaret Mitchell
Stephen King

I need to find a longer sample, but that's a pretty fun site, accurate or not.

I just took a few MR posts of mine and it came back for all four that I tested that I write like Cory Doctorow.

I pasted "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" into the box, and it claims that I (the Cthulu worshippers, anyhow) write like Isaac Asimov.

Interesting.

My 4 excerpts returned Cory Doctorow, Lewis Carroll, Lewis Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft. Quite odd.

The Cory Doctorow result was for a bulleted analysis of the major themes of last month's Batgirl #1. I'm not sure I would enjoy any fiction by Mr. Doctorow.

Wow. Nabokov? Really? I've never even read any Nabokov. Of course, I know the story of Lolita and the reference in the Police song. I ran it twice, first with

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2639398/1/Mme_Rouxs_Dog and then with http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2601688/1/Mystery_Street (probably shouldn't have posted the links. I haven't written anything in a couple of years and am not very good. I'm certainly no Nabokov).
