I tried a number of pieces and came up with a fairly even spread of:  Douglas Adams, Stephen King, and Arthur C. Clarke.  I think that it pays more attention to the words you use than the actual content, which makes sense for what has to be a fairly simple system.

I write like David Foster Wallace. He hung himself a couple of years ago, so I guess there's an opening.

I "analyzed" three different pieces and got three different writers: Jonathan Swift, David Foster Wallace, and Edgar Allan Poe. Go figure.

I also got David Foster Wallace, which is nice because he's an influence of mine.  Two other pieces brought up H.P. Lovecraft, probably because they were reviews of sci fi/horror films.

I put in 3 separate items and got 3 different answers too. For a few paragraphs from a short story, I also got David Foster Wallace. For a full TV File review of a classic Outer Limits episode, I got Edgar Allan Poe and for a poem, I got Bram Stoker.

 My plot description of Battlefield Earth sounded written like Robert Louis Stevenson?

How the plot of Heinlein's Puppet Master was like Gertrude Stein is almost as big a mystery as how my review of Zardoz sounds like James Joyce...

I submitted two different stories to it.  One said I write like David Foster Wallace, the other said I write like Stephen King.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
