Writing fun, rocky!  But, as I suspected, if you submit several selections you get completely different results, and I'm none the wiser. Is it style? Syntax? Sentence rhythm? Different for fiction, non-fiction? Here are 4 of mine ... 3 short stories, 1 of my Morning Star pieces. James Joyce?!!! Yum! 
Cory Doctorow
Stephen King
James Joyce
Dan Brown

I submitted the following from a rather dreadful Stephen King novel and it came up Stephen King...
"From two thousand feet, where Claudette Sanders was taking a flying lesson, the town of Chester's Mill gleamed in the morning light like something freshly made and just set down. Cars trundled along Main Street, flashing up winks of sun. The steeple of the Congo Church looked sharp enough to pierce the unblemished sky. The sun raced along the surface of Prestile Stream as the Seneca V overflew it, both plane and water cutting the town on the same diagonal course.
'Chuck, I think I see two boys beside the Peace Bridge! Fishing!' Her very delight made her laugh.The flying lessons were courtesy of her husband, who was the town's First Selectman. Although of the opinion that if God had wanted man to fly, He would have given him wings, Andy was an extremely coaxable man, and eventually Claudette had gotten her way. She had enjoyed the experience from the first. But this wasn't mere enjoyment; it was exhilaration.Today was the first time she had really understood what made flying great. What made it cool." |

I put in some Cannibal Corpse lyrics and kept getting David Foster Wallace or Chuck Palahniuk. So I guess it's consistent.
Edit: Just got H. P. Lovecraft and Daniel Defoe with some more, so that's four authors on one album.

From a number of samples, I got 6 David Foster Wallace, 4 Cory Doctorow, 3 Stephen King, and one each of Dan Brown, Chuck Palahniuk, Margaret Mitchell, Kurt Vonnegut, and (*cringe*) Stephanie Meyer.
No idea how this thing reaches its conclusions. As a control, I put in six random pieces from a certain columnist and it brought up six different names, 2 of which overlapped mine. |

I pasted in some Heemingway and it came out as Tolstoy. That said, I did then enter some different Hemmingway and it confirmed that it was indeed Hemmingway.

Not too sure. A project proposal I put in there came back as saying I write like Stephen King. That could be a good thing, I guess... maybe? Hm... maybe not! |

Haha this is hilarious, I just tried the lyrics of two different songs I've written.
The first result: Stephanie Meyer (Twilight)
The second result: Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)

| Cory Doctorow seems a popular choice. He's already been mentioned by several others, and two separate entries from my diary are apparently in his style, presumably because he writes a blog (as well as novels etc). |

that was cool.
of six writing samples i entered, 3 - Stephen King, 2 Kurt Vonnegut, 1 David Foster Wallace.
i used to really make an effort to sound like King in my writing. i guess some of that stuck. |
