So... according to http://iwl.me/ I write like William Gibson. Take note that I simply copy and pasted my posts in MIz into the analyzer. Let's see what Wiki has to say about this dude:

William Gibson . . . is an American-Canadian speculative fiction novelist who has been called the "noir prophet" of the cyberpunk subgenre.

What is this writing style doing in a medieval fantasy genre like miz?? I have no idea xD

I apparently write like Anne Rice.

*sob*

Apparently I'm alike to H. P Lovercraft, Dan Brown, Gertrude Stein, Douglas Adams and Cory Doctorow and that's just five different posts from the same thread. Seems like I have no perception style at all.

I pasted a couple of my solo threads into the analyser and came up with Dan Brown (Nooooo! The Horror! I hate Dan Brown, hate him hate him hate him!) for the first one and Douglas Adams for the second.

I'm glad I tried it with the second thread now, feel slightly better about because of that

It's a fun little tool by the way, thanks for posting the link to it.

Arthur Clarke, on several posts. Anne Rice on a few. William Shakespeare on one (wut).

I've never read 2001: A Space Odyssey, but now I feel I should.

Oh Paragon, I would kill to have a writing style like Anne Rice

Dry up lol

I got Arthur Clarke... A sci-fi author. I actually own some of his work. So I thought that was kind of cool.

Apparently I write like David Foster Wallace Lol

Vladimir Nabokov, and yes, I'm highly pleased about that. Pale Fire, Lolita... his artistry is ingenious.

It took me a while to get the same author twice...
I've got Margaret Atwood, Charles Dickens, Isaac Asimov, J.K. Rowling*, Stephen King*, Stephanie Meyer (to my shame), Cory Doctrow, Dan Brown... and those are just the ones I recognize.

Person who wrote Catcher in the Rye, person who wrote Wizard of Oz, person who wrote Jungle Book, person who wrote Gone With the Wind*...

* indicates 2 results for that author

Did anyone else obsessively take enough data points to see if their writing styles are more consistent than mine? <.<

Ernest Hemingway, Anne Rice, Douglas Adams (this made me squeal like some 5 year old girl, since i love his work), and Arthur Clarke. I actually got Arthur Clarke on all my posts in one thread.
I do read a lot of sci-fi so that might explain Clarke and Adams.. but Anne Rice?
