Well, I did give it fanfic...

I write like
Arthur Conan Doyle

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

The best compliment a pastiche writer could ask for, methinks!

Tried three samples from three different books in progress:
Margaret Atwood, Dan Brown and Chuck P-somethingi'veneverheardof

Hooey, says I
I wanna write like Georgette Heyer

If it was Chuck Palahunk or something like that, he, Brown, and Atwood are frequently at the top of the best seller lists.

Not sure the person who made this up knows Heyer. It seems to resort to James Joyce and Stephen King an awful lot.

James Joyce?!

What the hell are you people typing into that thing?

By experimenting, I find that dialogue heavy stuff gets Stephen King, and description heavy stuff that isn't consciously using character names from well known older writers gets Chuck Palahniuk. In the same story...

I did get Mark Twain for my Emergency story though.
