Following the comments above, I posted text consisting of nothing but a repeated 'dadadadadada....' and got Dan Brown so maybe there is something in it.

I ape Isaac Asimov, apparently, though that probably has more to do with me posting part of a geochemistry essay than any personal style!
Hmm, another essay gets Edgar Allan Poe. I can live with that. Now, what can I put in to prove I actually write like John Donne?
This could be seriously addictive!

It's totally random! 
Oops, I meant second and third.
Agree with you, thar. I actually tried thrice to see if I could get the "Cromagnon man" result. I typed in "goo goo gaa gaa," etc. Maybe jcbarros was just kidding?  :p

[size=6][color=brown]I write like myself. I make no claims above or beneath that. Le
The idea is crazy. I inserted a few pargraps from one of my works and got H.P.Lovecf=craft a writer of horror stories... duh!
Then I inserted the next few pargraphs and got William Shakespeare... it made me laugh. [/color][/size]

Thanks for the link. Great fun.
I got Tolkien for one piece of writing and Arthur Clarke on another. That made sense for the first piece as it actually was some fantasy fiction, but what it said was like Clarke was a long, epic poem. I guess it is science fictiony in a certain vague sense, so that one also has some sort of rational explanation.

I wish i wrote like Byron
With a libido of iron
I wish i wrote like Christie
Mysteries all twisty
Or like Asimov or Crichton
With unbridled imagination
But i think i'll give it a bash

I tried the link with my writing and got Kipling, Vonnegut, Lovecraft and Joyce.
I fed in a passage from Joyce and the analyzer said it was Dan Brown-like.
Agatha Christie yielded Stephen King.
William Thackeray it seems writes like Joyce.
Bernard Shaw gave me Lovecraft.
The trick is to change the proper nouns.
Fallible totally, but as others observe, fun.
