I write like
Arthur C. Clarke
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!
Cool. I was trying for more Heinlein-like, I think, but Clarke is good, too.
Then, "The Way Home", a fanfic based on Ralph Hayes' "Tales of the Questor" web comic got
I write like
Neil Gaiman
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!
Hmmm.... Interesting. I'd not have thought those to be similar, but I don't think I've read any Gaiman. Let's try "Worldhunter", the "alien first person" segment of a first contact story.
Clarke again.
Hm... "The Latrans Effect", a short-short aimed at Analog's "Probability Zero".
David Foster Wallace. I'm not sure who he is, or if I've ever read anything of his. After a detour to Wikipedia... I'm quite sure I've never read anything he's written.
"With the Jawbone of an Ass", a story about a platoon fighting an alien invasion... also David Foster Wallace.
The first segment of "The Opal Throne", alien natives dealing with some murderous human thugs, and a human ambassador who's caught between not liking draconian local punishments, wanting to be fair to the locals, and really, really hating the thugs...

Huh? Egad! I'd never have guessed that.
Going down to the middle of that story and picking a few more paragraphs..

J. K. Rowling

Ah. Almost all the aliens in that story are female. Maybe that affects the analysis; much more "she" than "he". It almost makes me want to do a search&replace, and try the same text again.
But this is probably enough for tonight.
