Nothing wrong with that - I got Steven King!

I analyzed 4 different longer-ish public entries and each time got a different response. First said I write like H. G. Wells, then H. P. Lovecraft, then Charles Dickens, and finally Kurt Vonnegut.

So statistically speaking my writing seems to be very broad, but also probably archaic, and 50% likely to be written as if I used my first two initials instead of a name like a normal person.

I dont think this is very accurate. I posted my erotic short story about a succubus and it told me I write like Isaac Asimov. There is no way in hell that story is like his writing.

Well, I have heard that Asimov wrote something in every category of the Dewey Decimal system, so maybe he wrote something on that subject? :D

really. That would be an interesting read if he did :)

If it counts, Asimov did write dirty limericks, and did have at least one scene of explicit sex among very alien non-terrestrials in _The Gods Themselves._

The sampling I pasted in got me likened to someone named David Foster Wallace, whom I've never heard of before.

I would much like to know what the algorithm is looking at. The code seems to be server-side.
