Just wondering what everyone thinks of plot generators. Like this one: www.magatsu.net/steampunk/index.php

    Ooooh, bookmarked. If I ever get around to making an animated short, this could be useful as a starting point.

    I know every writer is different, but for me it's a very bad idea to start with a plot.

    I only write non-fiction, so I don't use plot generators.

    I don't know if this fits the bill but an article by Problogger, titled, "How to Use Google’s Wonder Wheel to Find Topics to Write about" could be just the thing.

    Why not just ask Agit8r to come up with a plot for you?

    I should start a thread...

    Story telling is very well understood. It has been going on for thousands of years. Best to learn about it rather than use a tool like this.
    1. Agit8r
      you callin' agit8r a tool?

      Nope.Would never, intentionally, describe someone as being a tool. Not sure why though perhaps it is to figurative. Polybore prefers, generally but rarely, anglo saxon terms for the purposes of literal insults.
