Hrm. I'm now sort of stuck on the best way to do the plot coupons bits of the Random Manga Generator. Any ideas?

I suspect it'll probably steal a bit from the Cool Bits generator*, but I don't want to just stick that on there. Hrm.







* And possibly the least prurient bits of the Kinkfic Generator, which is really good at producing interpersonal plot twists.

When [name] [action], it results in/all ends in [result.]

When Mario duels his best friend, it results in a piranha infestation in a rose garden.

When Susannah becomes a ninja, it all ends in tears.

Perhaps the plot generator can focus on the character's goal in the story (a verb), the action(or reaction) they take to reach it, and the unexpected reversal or result that derives from it. Generalities might also be included like the tone of the story (humorous, adventurous, serious) or whether or not it's a tragedy, comedy, etc.
