It's possible one of the variables in the code is a name analyzer. Using a bit of epilogue using Priss and Sylia extensively got me the same result.

So this means you write engrossing conspiracy fiction but like to take existing concepts and meme's and twist them beyond all recognition? If you squint real hard NGE was all about that anyways Tongue

Chapter (mumblemumble) of secret project got me: Vladimir Nabokov
Honestly I think it's random...

The work as a whole, and each chapter fed separately, of my CoH piece Razor's Edge netted me: Stephen King.
Reunions, apparently, is in the vein of: Arthur C. Clarke
Feeding it an untitled piece that I deliberately wrote in a different style, a ways back: Chuck Palahniuk
... I don't even know who the last one is.

- DHBirr - 07-15-2010

The fragment I provided of Coup de Main got me a resemblance to William Gibson. 
The untitled fragment set in the world of Roger Zelazny's Jack of Shadows was judged to be like Margaret Atwood. 
And the opening to "Revenant," meant as a side-story to Andre Norton's Year of the Unicorn, apparently seems like James Joyce.
Hmmm.  Well, at least Coup de Main was intended as somewhat cyberpunk -- I described it once as like Bubblegum Crisis without the boomers, hardsuits, or beautiful women.

The first rule of Chuck Palahniuk is, you do not talk about Chuck Palahniuk.
The second rule of Chuck Palahniuk is, you do not talk about Chuck Palahniuk!
The third rule... okay, he wrote Fight Club. Smile

There must be a name analyzer, because feeding it a big section of My Immortal got "write like J.K. Rowling" instead of, say, the program vomiting bloody chunks of data and swearing revenge on all humans.

That last one: man what?

Edit: Yes, it's a BGC story. More evidence for the analyzer picking up on the names...

I was Q.Q-ing because both of them are widely regarded as terrible hacks who got lucky.
And I don't trust my luck at ALL.

Based on my blog/reviews over at ColonyofGamers.com, P.G. Wodehouse, David Foster Wallace (twice), Arthur C. Clarke (twice), Kurt Vonnegut, and H.P. Lovecraft.

http://www.colonyofgamers...u=127&blogcategoryid=170

Based on my more recent fictional efforts (God's Toy 2), Stephen King (3 times), Dan Brown.

Seems somewhat random to me, or far too sensitive to minor variances in input.

- Valles - 07-16-2010

...Lovecraft for me, apparently. Huh.

As further proof that this is basically random I put The Colour Our of Space into the thing and apparently H.P. Lovecraft writes like Stephen King. ;p

The other way around, however...

- ECSNorway - 07-16-2010

Fed it, at random, a few of the drabbles I've posted.

My Dear Sister got tagged as J K Rowling.

Esther's Awakening got Stephen King.

And The Stories Men Tell got William Gibson.

Shrug.

Okay, sounds vaguely familiar, but I still have no idea.

And now, the close-but-not-quite-finished Chapter 5:

Third time is the charm. This time it's the short where Ben and Gina decide to build the first of the Peacemaker-class escort carry-alls.

Well! There you have it. Seems like I have Chuck's gritty style when I write in Fenspace. Can someone who knows the other authors tell me if there's a theme there?
