Come join us at random_dystopia for a multi-fandom/original fiction comment fic/art/vid/poetry/whatever meme based on the output from the excellent YA Distopia Story Generator. Some example prompts are: Knock: News has been banned and the government controls bringing horses inside a house; Light: Showering in the nude has been banned and the government controls knitting. We also welcome original dystopia concepts! All genres, pairings, fandoms and kinks are welcome!
Shut: Volcanoes have been banned and the government controls icebergs. It begins with a captain of industry in an airship-field. This person meets a scruffy person and together they encounter a recently returned explorer and candy. The story winds up in deepest Peru and features having a child. The overall narrative is a picaresque novel.
This is so funny. I humbly nominate editing, crochet, Wonder Bread, and webinars to be banned. The government can control hip-hop, sale of aluminum foil, hang-gliding, and chickens.
Sway: Privately owned vehicles have been banned and the government controls sidewalks.
Major: Editing has been banned and the government controls language.
Wave: Long hair has been banned and the government controls swimsuits.
Shock: Death has been banned and the government controls chocolate.
Snap: Books have been banned and the government controls coeduation. [Oh Snap indeed. Also, typo in coeducation there]
Design: Coffee has been banned and the government controls office supplies. [This one might be a screwball comedy---something is innately funny about an ad agency with no coffee and with strict office supply control.]
...It's really sad how many of these actually sound like viable proposals. Really, really sad.

It's some sort of dystopia in which Microsoft has taken over the world and banned all references to Apple products.

Oh my! Do they shut all the teenagers inside and then train them to be burglars for the oppressive order? The Mafia on a governmental scale?
