I'm not so sure about that. I kind of suspect that Lovecraft et al never died and they have them sitting around, writing quick things like reviews of Ender's Game when the sample texts come rolling in.

[Anonymous No.4256931]

This thing is bullshit, I put three different articles I wrote about Australian politics to test it and it told me I wrote like George Orwell (the article was about political philosophy- anarchism, capitalism, socialism), H.P Lovecraft (it was about a politician who wants to remove laws that make it unlawful to be publically racist) and Dan Brown (why centrism is just as ideological as left/right thinking), I write in a pretty consistent style with similar vocab, sentence structure and tone.

I'd go for wordy. Joyce was wordy, right ? I would have liked to be able to pick insane, but honestly it doesn't match what I wrote. Here is the thing:

While Martin strode over the dusty grey peaks, he couldn't believe how lucky he was, for before him was open the fresh and restless theater of unhinged life, of relentless predation and procreation, of juvenile and genuine thrift for exploration. An entire world of beast, insects, plants, animals feline and canine alike, flying and swimming, lurking and crawling, skulking and squirming, sliding and hoping living beings was there for him to observe, to wallow in the delightful drunkedness of ever-alert contemplation.

Martin was thus kept staring, so enthralled, so entranced at this brand new yet unfathomably ancient live show, that he seldom noticed the falling of the light, and the fainting of day. As Sun again disappeared behing the stern edges of Harrowing Montains, the valley below was shut silent, or almost, stillness only disturbed by faint rumors of sleeping animals. Soon enough, the Nocturnus birds started to roam free into the air. And Martin stood still, wondering, dreaming, in the nightly howls of the wind that hovers beneath the stars.

Alright, I just randomly wrote this in without much thought in like ten seconds:

"What came to pass before the time of the bloodening curves and isle blades, the stabbings and the throwings of the infants, the mortal coils unfolded, would make an historian breathe heavy for excitement."

And got James Joyce. Either I'm good when I'm rambling or the thing is fucked.

[Anonymous No.4257096]

I got Joyce, DFW, and Lovecraft.

Based on the answers in here, either we all write in the same style or this site has a small amount of authors it spits out in a random way.

So I slid my throbbing fuckspear into the bloody, farting mincemeat that was her menstruating axewound.
My hand began twitching uncontrollably. It was time. My eyes went to the bucket of shit that was stationed by the candelabra. I held my spasming hand up to my face and formed a fist. I declared thusly:

'O! What foul regions my fist hath explored, I imbue thee with darkness...' Into the bucket of shit it went, nice and deep; I pulled it out and held my fist up to the light. It was like a World Cup Trophy drenched in melted milk chocolate with pecans. '...And to darkness thy shalt return!'

I rammed it right into the gaping maw of her sarlacc shit pit and a bestial groan burst from her lips. 'Yesssssss, Doctor Kashmir!', came the words bubbling out like grape syrup leaking out of a fat kids ears. ' I ammmm yorrrr sellllavvvve!!!'. Yes indeed, my little parakeet. Yes indeed.
