Plot Generator and Writing Prompt

Plot Generator和Writing Prompt为小说作者提供了创意。

Plot Generator and Writing Prompt is a simple, lightweight app that helps writers come up with new ideas. The app produces a short text containing what could be seen as a plot description. You can think of it as the back cover of a book.

The generated text consists of a basic structure (common in all generated combinations) and a set of randomized items, such as protagonist and antagonist names, gender, character attributes, occupation, field of narrative tension, and others.

The logic of the app is to both provide a format compatible with narrative expectations (in other words: to create a text that could be plausibly seen on the back cover of a real book) and, at the same time, to allow the writer/user to fill in the details using his or her imagination. The app cannot create a complete detailed plot; it can merely allow the writer to come up with ideas.
