so even knowing it's a scam...I wanted to see what random authors they'd come up with and I got...

Cory Doctorow (who? *goes to look up*)


Canadian SF writer who is well received and acclaimed.  He's actually one of my most recent favourites since I came across his work about two years ago.  He is a firm believer in creative commons licensing and as such you can find the majority of his work directly on his website to read for free.

I put in a few things I've been working on and came back with Cory Doctorow (twice), Neil Gaiman, and George Orwell. 

I'm so okay with those comparisons it's not even funny, but I wonder how it does it so quickly.

Thank you.  I might have to go give him a read now.

I write like Neil Gaiman, Ray Chandler and Cory Doctorow!

It matches up key phrases, and word use.  My bet is Vampires + hot battles gets Anne Rice, and vampires plus the word "chagrin" gets that Twilight author lady...

Hehe...I put in my vampire bit from my urban fantasy, and it came up with Raymond Chandler.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Yeah, but given the nature of his writing, he sometimes includes lines of computer code or "chat speak" in his novel...so that could be the code to get your computer to make you pizza from the harddrive and spit it out the disc drive  ;D
