Well, I found a neat little analyzer site that will analyze your writing and prose. It would then give ya a comparison to the closest author or whatever you share a style with.

Well as for a link to the site, this is it. http://iwl.me/

As for my own results. I analysed individual chapters from my story I am working on, as well as analysing a large chunk (about 6 chapters worth at once.) as well as the entirety of my story thus far. Well these are the results I have gotten.

Prologue: Arthur Clarke
Chapter 1: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 2: Dan Brown
Chapter 3: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 4: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 5: Kurt Vonnegut

Prologue through Chapter 5 Together: Kurt Vonnegut
All current work from the book: Kurt Vonnegut

Oh, goodness! I've actually got H. P. Lovecraft for one of my paragraphs. Points!

Also got: Dan Brown, Vladimir Nabokov, Chuck Palahniuk, Arthur C. Clarke, David Foster Wallace, and William Shakespeare.

Also, three of my stories have now garnered the Lovecraft style.

I got Jack London, HP Lovecraft (my hero!), Stephanie Meyer (whoever that is)

And Stephen King five different times.

:lmao:
LOL...I looked up Stephanie Meyer, what an insult! And from a page that was nothing but the internal monologue of a serial killer making contact with a victim...doesn't seem like a very Twilighty scene, but then I've never read Twilight.

I entered the text for a Secret Garden fanfiction I wrote last year. It's a tiny fandom, but that book has been a special interest of mine on and off for years, so I wrote a one shot for fanfiction.net. I got Robert Louis Stevenson for that one.
I also entered the six chapters I wrote for an unfinished Harry Potter fanfiction back in 2006, and got JK Rowling for every chapter. Ironic, as JK Rowling rendered my incomplete story obsolete in 2007.
Interesting...
ETA: I entered the text from a couple of entries from a blog I used to have. I got Kurt Vonnegut and HP Lovecraft. I also entered the text from a children's story I wrote, and got Margaret Mitchell. I then went on to enter two more children's stories I wrote about a young boy with AS. I got Mark Twain and Stephen King for those. I'm not sure what to make of these results, but this website is quite interesting, and somewhat addicting.

I submitted four samples, two of which were separate parts of the same work. My results were 3 David Foster Wallaces and one Jane Austen.

Types in some random passages off of the top of my head this time, and guess who I got yet again.... Kurt Vonnegut.

Well, that kind of makes sense...the other likely candidate in that situation would be James Joyce.

I apparently write majorly in the vein of William Gibson and/or Cory Doctorow. Gibson makes sense, as my writing is semi-consciously styled after Richard K. Morgan's, who was heavily influenced by Gibson's. Two degrees of separation.
