Check it out!
It's a website that analyses your writing style and use of words, then cross-references them with a bunch of famous writers to show you who you write most like.

Apparently I write like J.R.R Tolkien!
I'm not sure whether to feel good about writing like the author of the most famous epic fantasy trilogy ever, or bad about the fact that I write like a religious, anarchical conservative.

I got Douglas Adams with one piece and David Foster Wallace with another. Never read Wallace (though I know who he is), but fuck yes on the Adams!!

I ran 2 more pieces through it and got Neil Gaiman (another fantasy author, he wrote Stardust. Interestingly, he says he was influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien as a child, so that's probably why I got them both) and Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club.

The first two stories analysed (Tolkein and Gaiman) are 1000ish word, hastily-typed fanfics I did to annoy someone, and the third one was a 6000 word short story I had to write, edit and fill with allegories for a class last year, so of the three I'm guessing the last would be more accurate because it's not about morbidly obese ponies (don't ask) and there's more work behind it.

OMG, I got the dude who wrote Fight Club. His name is Chuck Palahniuk. And Fight Club is one of my favorite movies ever so I totally approve of this. :3 Oh and for this one I ran a bit of the vampire/mystery I'm writing.

For shits and giggles, I ran my HP fanfic through and got J.K. Rowling. That's not surprising. XD

Somehow I write like James Joyce. I don't know how my sitcom style script is like Ulysses.
