I suspect that it may be less an analyzer and more a random-author generator.

H.P. Lovecraft...I have read some of his stories and I don't get the similarities in style. It may be bullocks:shrug:

I thought the results must be randomized because I put in the same thing twice and got different results (L. Frank Baum and Agatha Christe) each time.

But then I realized I had put different versions of my writing (the rough draft and then the final draft) into the analysis box...

I copy-pasted these three quotes from Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground and The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky, yet I got H. P. Lovecraft as a result. One would think you'd get Fyodor Dostoevsky as a result, but maybe that's not how this test works. Each quote may be from different translations, maybe it doesn't even cover translated writers. Or there's some other strangeness going on. If you want you can copy-paste these very same quotes and see if you get the same result, just like in the spoiler minus the quotation marks and tell me what result you got.

This got H.P. Lovecraft, although from my understanding he writes less purple prose and more eldritch abominations.


This got Stephen King. Hmm...

Wow what a pleasant surprise my results were:

Arthur Clarke

I don't deserve that compliment at all.

However I did laugh in surprise due us sharing the same birth date and a few other things ;).

Then I submitted the lyrics to Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" and got Ursula K. Le Guin. :dry: They should have some crap writers in there like Stephenie Meyer among the potential results.

In a stream of consciousness I typed:

Hark! We all knew ye would fabricate the old stories, passed from heart to mind to mouth. Seems things are not preemptive anymore, as crows announce their own intentions during broad daylight, and horses whinny at the slightest of sights. Do we know anything in this vast empty spherical place of terrain and water? Are is this all our own cognizant playground. We must ask yourself if the lie is worthy of seeming truthful, or if life is not worthy of death. The clock ticks and will one day leave us behind. Nothing matters in the end of time.

Six different samples came up with

Dan Brown, David Foster Wallace, Chuck Palahniuk, Gertrude Stein, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe...

I guess I'm still trying to find my voice. :dry:

Literary scholars have long debated whether Poe was a plagiarist. Now we finally know.

On a relate note: Shakespeare's works were actually not written by William Shakespeare. And Richard III did not have his nephews killed either.

Go read Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time.
