http://iwl.me/ And from Jabootu, we get this link.



(Ahem)...

Well, it's that time again.
Time to show the world what we're made of.
I'm thinking Velveeta cheese and Spam.
There are more things in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Horatio, then are drempt of in your sports casts.

Evidentlly, that paragraph means I write like Kurt Vonnegut.

[Andrew]

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 submitted some writings of mine and the answer I got was H P Lovecraft. 

[Raffine]

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

I hope I write like skull... :)

[Derf]

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

[Doggett]

I got Cory Doctorow.

WHO?

[Skull]

lol

I've just entered the first 11 lines from my first book Lifelines and its says "I write like Stephen King" 

[Rev. Powell]

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.

[JaseSF]

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.

[sideorderofninjas]

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...

[Joe the Destroyer]

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