Thanks for sharing this. I got Cory Doctorow. I'd never read any of his books or blogs before today but the resemblance in writing style, looks (he could pass as my brother), and interests is bizarrely similar!

I got a different answer each different thing I posted. First I got Ann Rice ,Stephen king ,Cory Doctorow ,and Margaret Mitchell. I guess my writing style isn't consistent. :p It is fun though.

I sent in this post and got Cory Doctorow again. :o
I just got H. G. Wells. Happy

For an English project I got Cory Doctorow, for a letter I wrote to the editor of a newspaper, I got Mario Puzo, and for a biography I had written for a history class I got Edgar Allen Poe.

And no, I was not writing to the newspaper about my problems with the local (and non-existant) Mafia, lol. Although my mum is apparently a huge fan of his.

And it scares me slightly that I'm like Edgar Allen Poe...

Another Stephen King! Happy

I have never read his books- I have wanted to read his "IT" for a while now but my brother threw away the book when it got too scary for him :/

I tried three stories I wrote a year ago and my results are:

-Stephen
-Cory Doctorow
-Margaret Mitchell

I'm going to try more of my stories later to see which name pops up more.

Its an amusing toy, but doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny. Try typing in random characters and see who it suggests Happy

I got a different author for each post on my blog.

This blog post might be of interest if you want to know the story behind it though: http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/archives/012502.html

The tl:dr version is that this little toy was designed as the lead-in advert for a vanity publisher (who has since removed their links after being caught red-handed)

That sounds fun- I write in very different styles depending on why I'm writing (purpose/audience), so I guess I come out as someone different every day!
