Breathe, Tae, Breathe. (ROTFL)

So, I got this from vashka_kat :

I write like
Arthur Conan Doyle

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Cool!  That's awesome.

Except... not really.

That's what I got for a few paragraphs from the beginning of Call Waiting (one of the parts without sex), but when I tried some of the stuff from later on, I got Dan Brown.  Recent condom silliness gave me Chuck Palahniuk.  My Garion/Ce'Nedra smut gave me Vladimir Nabokov.  Several paragraphs from Hunger Persists gave me Stephen King, and then a later section gave me Kurt Vonnegut.

Sephiroth proposing to Maleficent?  James Joyce.  (If this doesn't make you laugh, nothing will.)

Oh, score!  Zack and Sora comparing summons also gives me Stephen King...

But Zack/Cloud/Tifa talking about smelly foods gives me another vote for Vladimir Nabokov.

...and a Kenshin/Kaoru elf story gives me Stephen King again.

So... really, I write like a man...?  Maybe?  And most often like Stephen King...?

Wait.  Trying my Draco/Hermione story gives me J.K.Rowling.

I guess I write like everyone?

I wish I knew how it analyzed writing. I'd like to know if it's only looking at vocabulary choices, or if it can analyze quickly enough to determine any sort of grammatical structure. I tend to lean towards the former. And then, once it has the vocab list, how does it compare it to the authors it utilizes. Does it just have a database saying "100 most used words of Stephen King?" At any rate, it seemed to think I was Stephen King, Dan Brown, George Orwell, J.K. Rowling, and Vladimir Nabokov. Of all these authors, there's only one I even like.

I had to look up who Dan, Chuck, and Vladimir were after I got them. I've never read any of them, and have no interest. ^^;

What I found most amusing about this, were the fics that actually got the results. James Joyce writing crackfic is an image that will stay with me...
