hmm... first answer for me came back as Arthur Clarke (author of 2010)
The next answer on another chapter came back as Dan Brown... I can see that considering I read a lot of his stuff.
Another result brought Arthur Clarke again, then Chuck Palahniuk. My first chapter came up as Douglas Adams... I can sort of see why. Alas... I'm not as funny as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide.
Arthur Clarke 2 out of 5 huh? Interesting. I've certainly taken some writing style notes from both Douglas Adams and Dan Brown so I can certainly relate there.
Seems the analyzer works a bit like a spider, looking at content more than the particular style of the writing. Fascinating stuff though.

Interesting, they went in this order:
Dan Brown 2x,
Stephen King,
Annie Rice,
Arthur Clarke.
Not too shabby. Interesting result, Annie Rice, no?

I've gotten everyone from Cory Doctorow to GRRM to Lovecraft to Chuck Palahnuik. I don't actually think that this thing is very reliable.
Btw, Doctorow is an amazing writer. Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is a great book, and Makers is even better.

Interesting..>!
My results-
Neil Gaiman (X2)
Dan Brown (X2)
Mark Twain
Stephen King
Raymond Chandler
Of these, I've read only Dan Brown and Mark Twain, though I think I've read a Stephen King somewhere. I need to check out the other writers up there!

I went through all of the work that I've done here on IF (chapter by chapter, in the case of the longer SGs), and I don't really know whether I'm with DMW, that it's likely not very accurate, or not. When I began, I was using all of the short stories I've written on here, such as stuff for competitions, and I was veering towards it prbably just being a random thing. But when I moved on to SparkleSteps, though the first few chapter were mismatched, after a while the results were pretty much consistant.
For the short stories and my two shorter SGs, the results were 1 each for J.R.R Tolkien, Raymond Chandler, James Fenimore Cooper, William Shakespeare (which I found a little strange  ), Arthur Clarke, William Gibson, and Dan Brown, and 2 for Margret Atwood.
For SparkleSteps, the results were as follows, in chapter order (some chapters were written split into 2 or 3 so that's why there are more relults than actual chapters):
Valdimir Nabokov
P.G Wodehouse
Stephen King
Valdimir Nabokov
Stephen King x10
Gertrude Stein
The last one (as I was obviously in an experimental mood, which is very out of character, as I'm usually a lazy thinker ) I split into 6 smaller parts, and the results came back as 3 each for Gertrude Stein and James Joyce. Then I think the mood ran out because I really couldn't bring myself to do the same with all of the others. *giggles*
I actually haven't even heard of some of these writers, and have actually read even less, so I can't look upon them as being any kind of inspiration. I have read Stephen King, and J.R.R.Tolkien, and I tried to read Shakespeare at school, under instruction of my best friend, but I really just couldn't get into it. Interesting results all the same, and whether they were accurate or not, it was quite fun (yes, I have alot of time on my hands ).

| Honestly they only take the things you write about not the way you use your sentences. If I was to write about a girl sitting on a wall and she was with a cat and the cat meowed. it be the guy who writes Coroline....

Edgar Allan Poe

I dont know how accurate this thing is, somehow I doubt it's accurate at all --- but not bad company to keep. Now if I can make the $$ they do
