Today I remembered the name of my favorite Random Generator site. I’d forgotten just how awesome some of them are.
The writing prompt one is my favorite. The title of this post is one of the random prompts. A few others are….
- It was time to murder some dark gods, but that’s no longer true.
- My life is basically the legend of the Flying Dutchman, only I am more witty than you’d expect.
- If you want to know what happened, imagine the legend of the Golem, only funnier.
- We survived the severe weather by hiding in a stargate, and that’s when everything went wrong. (ok, that’s literally every third episode of Atlantis)
- Five cyborg rebellions – I’m going to kill her.
The envisioner is also good. It’s all “what if X but … IN SPACE” stuff. Look.
- A fusion of the legend of the Phantom Hitchiker and the legend of Johnny Appleseed.
- The story of Oliver Twist envisioned as a surrealistic cyberpunk tale.
- The story of Jesus envisioned as a metaphorical comedy of manners tale.
- A fusion of the legend of Oedipus and the legend of Hercules envisioned as a party comedy tale.
- The legend of Sparticus set on a reality television show (“Will the real Sparticus please stand up!”)
If a Cyberpunk Oliver Twist exists, hook me up.
The what-if-inator!
What if…
…the rise of Rome involved occult arts?
…HG Wells had access to interstellar travel?
…the advent of Christianity had never happened? (<3 <3 <3)
…the first transatlantic flight involved druids?
…the American Revolution involved thaumaturgy? (would read)
See, remember in the previous post where I said I lied and I was writing again? I think I jinxed myself. Or possibly I’ve just hit the point where I can’t keep writing around the plot and actually need to have a plot. If anyone needs me I’ll be over there hitting “refresh” like a zombie until something clicks.
