[Jenne]

James Joyce and Stephen King!    ETA: and BRAM STOKER!  Cool!  ETAagain: and my professional stuff (good idea, RWHN!) is Arthur Conan Doyle!  (weirdness!)

[Suu]

I write like George Orwell    ........and Dan Brown also.  

And JK Rowling...and Stephen King...


I don't have a set style I guess...But if Brown and Rowling can publish books, so can I, damnit.

[Kai]

I write like Steven King.

No wonder I like his book On Writing. 

[AFK]

I tried two different types of writing.

For my professional work:  Isaac Asimov

For my Discordian stuff:  Stephen King

Margaret Eleanor Atwood, CC, O.Ont, FRSC (born November 18, 1939) is a Canadian author, poet, critic, essayist, feminist and social campaigner. While she may be best known for her work as a novelist, she is also an award winning poet, having published 15 books of poetry to date.[1][2]  Many of her poems have been inspired by myths and fairy tales, which were interests of hers from an early age.[3]  Atwood has also published short stories in Tamarack Review, Alphabet, Harper's, CBC Anthology, Ms., Saturday Night, Playboy, and many other magazines.

She is among the most-honoured authors of fiction in recent history; she is a winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award and Prince of Asturias award for Literature, has been shortlisted for the Booker Prize five times, winning once, and has been a finalist for the Governor General's Award seven times, winning twice.[4]

I suspect it may be less analyzer and more random-author generator. 

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I plugged in my "Half Asleep" post in OKM, and got Stephen King. Gonna repaste to see if it is random or accurate.

[AFK]

I pasted the entire contents of this thread and got:  James Joyce

[AFK]

Well, I did test it.  I tried excerpts by James Joyce and Stephen King and it did give the correct results. 

[trippinprincezz13]

I posted a few paragraphs from a rant I posted at TCC shortly before getting banned/re-banned, and apparently it sounds like William Shakespeare, heh.

ETA: Pasted the text from one of the pleadings that we file with the Courts and apparently the writing is like Stephen King's

[The Wizard]

I posted each chapter of my book so far, and got a different writer almost every  chapter. Rowling, Vladimir Nabokov, and Dan Brown and Chuck Palahniuk twice.
