For all writers- fun test

Hmm, it said I write like Dan Brown.

Me too. I've never read anything of his, so now I'm curious. I also put in another sample (a piece written for school) and it said Isaac Asimov.

I write like Steven King. I've never read any of King's novels.

I just tried a different bit of prose and it still said Steven King. I think I write succinctly. Is that how King writes?

Apparently I write like James Fenimore Cooper. WHO???

It's OK, there is no need to answer that, but having read his Wikipedia entry, I was officially insulted, so I tried again with another passage. James Joyce this time. Oh please.

Third time lucky? I pasted in an old cat post and this time Edgar Allan Poe popped up. It might seem that I don't have my own voice, but to be honest, I doubt the scientific credentials of this site you have found, Barbara.

My second try (the story of Orion coming to us) ended up as Nabokov too. Poe and Nabokov? Does that mean I write old-fashioned?
At least it is world literature first class, not like you Dan Brown and James Fenimore Cooper adepts

I write like Oscar Wilde.

[Felicia's Mom]

I also write like Cory Doctorow.

J.K. Rowling. . .which is hysterical considering what it was that I plugged in. Harry Potter, the drama continues. The texts were totally unrelated so I wonder what the criteria is?
