Genres
A generator for every genre
Genre changes what a story is trying to do, so each of these pages sets the generator up differently. A mystery is built to be fair with its clues. A fairy tale is built around a debt. Pick the one you want and write in it.
Fantasy
Magic with rules, a world that behaves consistently, and people who live in it normally.
Adventure
A journey with something real at stake and a route that keeps closing behind you.
Romance
Two people, a reason they cannot simply say it, and the moment they do.
Horror
Dread built from ordinary things behaving slightly wrong.
Mystery
A question planted on the first page and paid off fairly on the last.
Science fiction
One change to how the world works, followed honestly to where it leads.
Children's story
Simple words, a warm problem, and a child who solves it themselves.
Bedtime story
Calm, kind and slow, written to be read aloud and to end with someone asleep.
Thriller
A clock running down and a character who cannot afford to stop moving.
Comedy
A straight face, an escalating problem, and no jokes announced in advance.
Drama
Ordinary people, an unresolved thing between them, and the day it surfaces.
Fairy tale
The old shape, told plainly: three tries, a bargain, and a cost.
Historical fiction
A real period rendered through what people ate, owed and worried about.
Flash fiction
Under 500 words, one moment, and a turn you feel a beat after reading it.
Inspirational
Persistence shown through effort, not through a speech at the end.
