I pasted my recent chapter of my novel and I write like :Harry Harrison(whoever that guy is )

This is cool. I analyzed the first chapter of The Veil, and I write like Harry Harrison. I don't really know who that is, but after a little research, I have some new sci-fi to read.
So it says I write like Stephenie Meyer... Based on a story that I wrote for the Poetry Inspired contest >.> Which I've never read any of her books, so I wouldn't know, BUT I did this before and it said I wrote like some guy named Cole something. So I'm not sure how accurate it is... but hey, it's fun! ^_^
This is super duper cool! I posted both chapters in "Cactus leaves" and they were both like L. Frank Baum (Wizard of Oz!!), then I posted a recent chapter of Wool of the Prince, and then a early chapter, and they were both Jack London (call of the wild, White Fang), but when I checked two middle chapters, they were like James Joyce (Ulysses)... hmmm...
My radio play "Ten-Four" is most like Shakespeare... (that makes sense though, because it's a play.) Ooh I did a poem written in iambic pentameter that used old language and got Shakespeare too.
Then I checked my Short story "Cullet Castle," and that says I wrote like J.K. Rowling. Another, Stephanie Meyer. Another, Neil Gaiman, Another, H.P. Lovecraft, another, Margaret Mitchell. Another Gertrude Stein, another was like Chuck Palahniuk, another, Jack London.
Towards the end there, I was mostly just seeing how many different ones were in my writing. Apparently, I don't write with consistency like any one famous author. That makes me feel better, actually, because I did think that all of my works were different (even if they contained a similar voice-- my voice-- throughout) in tone and format etc.
I'd really like to know how they determine this though. What's the formula?
Instead, he said, Brother! I know your hunger. To this, the Wolf answered, Lo!
Also, just for kicks I took the abstract I submitted for this conference I'm preparing for (basically a scientific summary of research), and it turns out my advisor and I write like J.K. Rowling! Another science paper from my microbial physiology class last semester sounds like Chuck Palahniuk. And I am having too much fun with this.

Well I posted my new Prolouge and it said Shakespeare.
“You know a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick, and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.”
I posted my short story Nymphs and it said J.K. Rowling Not what I expected!
Also did Some of The Moon Spirit and got Stephen King. And Currents gave me Ursula K. Le Guin, The Den gave me David Foster Wallace, and Adonia, Beloved gave me Anne Rice.
I had a lot of fun with this

Want to talk about your project? Head on over to the Writers Corner! If you have a question about writing, then head on over to Research! Is your question not big enough to warrant its own thread? Ask away in Little Details!
@Birkhoff, try putting in a longer portion and you might get a better result. That's what happened to me with "To Marta"--I got James Joyce with just a paragraph and Tolstoy with the whole thing (maybe because I mentioned Russia?).
I put in what I have for the poetry-inspired short story contest and got David Foster Wallace. Still haven't got the same author twice!
