Just put in a short piece of dialogue from an English assignment. I can apparently write like Chuck Palahnuik now.

3 out of 4 of my PPC writings got a "Stephanie Meyer" result. Oddly, the other one had "Douglas Adams" as the result. (I didn't submit the MST as those kind of writing has a formula to follow)
So, my writing is 3/4 Publishable Suethor and 1/4 Great Genius? It... doesn't make any sense. -

It's fun, and I would be flattered, but then I'm pretty sure Stephenie Meyer is the only author they've got that I'd be ashamed of.

Apparently almost all of my Miah and Cali missions resemble William Gibson's writings, with a few coming out as Cory Doctorow.
Probably not surprisingly, most of my Kelok and Unger missions resemble Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
My original stuff is seemingly random. Every chapter was a different author. This might not be a good thing.
The weirdest result was on my dark urban fantasy. It's first person, present tense, and according to this thing, it reads like something Jack London wrote. -

Using one of my characters' profiles, I apparently write like Isaac Asimov. Using a backstory I wrote to tie another of my characters into the world of an RP I frequent, I also write like Arthur Clarke. With several paragraphs of a fic I'm writing for the drawer, I write like J.R.R. Tolkien. Finally, with a post I wrote for the aforementioned RP, I write like Cory Doctorow.
The first one was from several years ago, and the last one was deliberately written in a different style, but the other two are both pretty recent and written as normal. My writing style must not be very consistent. -

It says that some of my missions scan like Shakespeare. I am not surprised, really; I favor short lines of dialog and action, peppered with some longer exposition here and there. I can see how that might scan to something like this like playwriting. I wonder how it evaluates entries.

Apparently my post-apocolyptic Peter Pan retelling reads like Stephen King, and the few pages of my mission that I've written so far read like Dan Brown.
Also, I stuck in some of Tara Gilesbie's work for shits and giggles. Apparently she writes like Mark Twain. Whatever has the world come to... -

From my last full DMS mission:

Huh. I would not have called that, although it has been a while since I've read anything by Mr. King. I do remember liking his dialogue, though. -

I am actually pretty surprised. Seeing as I'm sick and probably am not going anywhere for the next day or so, I decided to make a list of all my results from both my spin-off and my experimental writing blog.
The results were 6 counts of William Shakespeare, 2 counts each for Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, and Stephen King, and one count each of J. K. Rowling and Oscar Wilde.
...I don't think my writing is very Shakespearean. -

Terry Pratchett, using a sample, hand typed, from the back of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, writes like J. D. Salinger. -

So, for one chapter of a Harry Potter 'fic I'm writing I apparently write like Edgar Allen Poe, while for the other I write like Ms. Rowling herself, but for most of my works, it seems, I write like David Foster Wallace.
