Well, I found a neat little analyzer site that will analyze your writing and prose. It would then give ya a comparison to the closest author or whatever you share a style with.
Well as for a link to the site, this is it. http://iwl.me/
As for my own results. I analysed individual chapters from my story I am working on, as well as analysing a large chunk (about 6 chapters worth at once.) as well as the entirety of my story thus far. Well these are the results I have gotten.
Prologue: Arthur Clarke
Chapter 1: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 2: Dan Brown
Chapter 3: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 4: Kurt Vonnegut
Chapter 5: Kurt Vonnegut
Prologue through Chapter 5 Together: Kurt Vonnegut
All current work from the book: Kurt Vonnegut

Oh, goodness! I've actually got H. P. Lovecraft for one of my paragraphs. Points!
Also got: Dan Brown, Vladimir Nabokov, Chuck Palahniuk, Arthur C. Clarke, David Foster Wallace, and William Shakespeare.
Also, three of my stories have now garnered the Lovecraft style.

I got Jack London, HP Lovecraft (my hero!), Stephanie Meyer (whoever that is)
And Stephen King five different times. 
LOL...I looked up Stephanie Meyer, what an insult! And from a page that was nothing but the internal monologue of a serial killer making contact with a victim...doesn't seem like a very Twilighty scene, but then I've never read Twilight. |

I entered the text for a Secret Garden fanfiction I wrote last year. It's a tiny fandom, but that book has been a special interest of mine on and off for years, so I wrote a one shot for fanfiction.net. I got Robert Louis Stevenson for that one.
I also entered the six chapters I wrote for an unfinished Harry Potter fanfiction back in 2006, and got JK Rowling for every chapter. Ironic, as JK Rowling rendered my incomplete story obsolete in 2007.
Interesting...
ETA: I entered the text from a couple of entries from a blog I used to have. I got Kurt Vonnegut and HP Lovecraft. I also entered the text from a children's story I wrote, and got Margaret Mitchell. I then went on to enter two more children's stories I wrote about a young boy with AS. I got Mark Twain and Stephen King for those. I'm not sure what to make of these results, but this website is quite interesting, and somewhat addicting.

Types in some random passages off of the top of my head this time, and guess who I got yet again.... Kurt Vonnegut.

Well, that kind of makes sense...the other likely candidate in that situation would be James Joyce. |

I apparently write majorly in the vein of William Gibson and/or Cory Doctorow. Gibson makes sense, as my writing is semi-consciously styled after Richard K. Morgan's, who was heavily influenced by Gibson's. Two degrees of separation.
