Which Famous Writer Do You Write Like?

In case you haven't seen it already, there's a ridiculous new gadget circling the internuts:

Copy & paste an excerpt of your writing and it will tell you what famous writer you write like. To be taken with a grain of salt, obv.

(Apparently I'm a James Joyce wannabe.)

My stats so far:

Spoiler

Dickens: 1
King: 2
Meyers: 3
Joyce: 8
Nabokov: 1
Lovecraft: 2
Wallace: 9
Mitchell: 1
Brown: 1
Palahniuk: 2
Christie: 1
Doyle: 7

William Shakespeare >> hm......something's wrong ><

Chuck Palahniuk apparently...

Never heard of the guy... shows what I know about books.


EDIT: I just did it again and I got Stephenie Meyer... Do you see any shiny vampires in my writing? I think not. It might be because I have a lot of fantasy in my writing...

This thing is entertaining me to the max...

My Results overall:

Spoiler

Chuck Palahniuk - 2
J.K Rowling - 1
Stephenie Mayer - 3
Vladimir Nabokov - 1
Stephen King -4
P. G. Wodehouse - 1

A mix between Stephenie Meyer and Stephen King, I guess... I obviously like the Stephs... Ah well, they make a lot of money. That's a good sign, I guess.

James Joyce. That isn't the first time I've been told I try to write like him, either. I've never even read any Joyce.

EDIT: I put in something I wrote when I was ten, just for a laugh. I still apparently wrote like James Joyce. This story was about humans turning into terrifying octopus-type creatures called Mentacles, who also had psychic powers. I think James Joyce would be insulted. xD

I got Kurt Vonnegut.

WIN.

Hahaha, tossed in a paper. Got Vladimir Nabokov.

Tossed in a semi-recent blog entry, got David Foster Wallace (who is this?).

For kicks and grins, I tried a different paper. Got Dan Brown. Granted, it was on religious superstitions in the 1300s, so that may have had a teeny bit to do with that result.

WIN, smaur!

I got David Foster Wallace.

Curious, I googled 'im.

Apparently, he hung himself at age forty-six.

NOT COOL.

I don;t have much writing on my laptop, mostly do it on my desktop, so I threw in an old SB post. I got Stephen King lol

Edit: Did a different one and got Vladimir Nabokov

David Foster Wallace is the brilliant albeit dense writer of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and (more famously) Infinite Jest. And, yeah, he killed himself a couple of years ago.

Ian Fleming, lulz. The second time I got Margaret Mitchell. And then I got Kurt Vonnegut.

Bear in mind that these were all extracts of the same short story. xD

I got him when I accidentally slammed my keyboard and hit enter xD

Eh, I got Dan Brown. I wonder what the answer is based off of. Maybe it's just random...

William Gibson
Stephen King
H. P. Lovecraft
Jane Austen (?)
Chuck Palahniuk
Mario Puzo (OMG YES!)
J. K. Rowling (lame)
Margaret Atwood (who?)

Hm. I got Kurt Vonnegut. Twice.
