Interesting...

Hmmmm... So I tried plugging various of my stories into the "I write like" statistical analysis tool (which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them to those of the famous writers) to see who I wrote like. I tried a TON different stories. And got a number of different results:
L. Frank Baum
Bram Stoker
Douglas Adams
P. G. Wodehouse
Isaac Asimov
Ray Bradbury
Vladimir Nabokov (interestingly nearly all my NCIS noncrossovers were akin to his style)
Steven King (a few drabbles)
Robert Louis Stevenson
J. K. Rowling (my two winne-the-pooh stories)
Mark Twain
Ian Fleming
J. D. Salinger
Raymond Chandler
James Joyce
Jack London
Chuck Palahniuk
Charles Dickens

I always said I was a diverse writer, but still....

It's quite mimsy! *g*

I tried again and got Leo Tolstoy (with a Donna Noble story) and L. Frank Baum (with my story Six Conversations with Crow, the only one that really makes sense as I deliberately wrote it in a fable style).

Huh. I'm in uffish thought now.

oooh, Tolstoy! I'm beginning to think it's just randomly assigning things
