That's a fun toy, particularly when it tells me I write like Stephen King when I enter possibly the silliest thing I've ever written.

It did spit out Lewis Carroll for the little unreal/dreamworld bit, though.

I got Stephen King for everything except my very early (completely shitty) stuff which showed up as Douglas Adams!!

[ankewehner.livejournal.com]

*heh* Stephen King was the most frequent result for me, too (5 times), and the one result of Douglas Adams was a story several years older than the others.
Otherwise I got Dan Brown 3, James Joyce 2, Vladimir Nabokov 2, Lewis Carroll, H. P. Lovecraft, J. K. Rowling, J. D. Salinger, P. G. Wodehouse.

Mind, most of my stuff is very short. I didn't check anything below 200 words, but longer texts would probably work better.

aahaaha!!

Now I got some interesting results...

I got Dan Brown for some original stuff I'm writing for a big bang. It sent me into a mode of REWRITE REWRITE KILL IT NOW AND REWRITE. Pasting section by section calmed me down that I only am that bad in the beginning. And I meant to redo that already. But STILL!

A Lovecraftian pastiche I wrote in college also came up "Dan Brown". I wonder if HP Lovecraft is a possible result.

...and Storvik's journal is "like Douglas Adams".

[drhoz.livejournal.com]

yes, HPL is a possibility

[chewipaka.livejournal.com]

If you put in the first section of the Wikipedia article on Split Infinitives you get HP Lovecraft.

I really, really want to know how they are analyzing the text and coming up with results.
