I also played around with asking it to write in the style of several people, both real and fictional. Two of those are William Shatner and Edgar Allen Poe.
The Poe version was very dark, and ends up killing off our older nullo in the story... A person who should be around for a long time yet as it's a 12 chapter outline and this is only chapter 4. It said this as the last paragraph in the Poe version:
No one knows what happened to Nate. Some say he drowned in a river, others that he took his own life. But Jane never gave up hope that he would return. She lived the rest of her days waiting for him to come back to her, to bring her out of the darkness and into the light. But he never did.
Umm... That's just too F-ing sad and depressing.
For William Shatner, with the same input it starts out:
Captain's Log, stardate 1964. Nate and Jane have tied the knot and started their journey as a married couple.
So at some point, the story has been lifted from the mid-20th century USA, and into some unknown place in outer space.
Who should I try next?
Agatha Christie
Ian Fleming
George Orwell
someone else
