The website I Write Like will analyze your prose and tell you if it resembles H.
P. Lovecraft, Vladimir Nabokov, Dan Brown, or one of the other forty famous
writers in its database. Margaret Atwood gave it a try and found she didn't
write like herself; rather, the database pegged her as Stephen King. We can only
imagine Nabokov's incredulity at being told by a computer that someone else
writes like him, or worse, that he wrote like anyone else (especially Stephen
King).
