AND ANOTHER GENERATOR

[telophase]

Because I needed the proof of concept that the new code for the fantasy generator would work seamlessly for other generators.

Space Opera Title Generator

Yes, the background and the writeup on the side are from the fantasy generator, because I'm still working on the patterns and wordlists. Interestingly, space opera books tend to have less complicated titles than fantasy novels do. Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers by Harry Harrison (I think) is the longest pattern I found. I also have smaller wordlists than the fantasy ones, because the space opera lists I got from Goodreads and the Internet Speculative Fiction Database together only produced about 1500 titles instead of the 5000 I got for fantasy. I ended up going out to Wikipedia's lists of stars, moons, and constellations to fill out a Name list.

Helm of the Unchained Nation

That ... is not a space opera.

[yhlee]

I like Death Weeds but question its space opreaticness. ;)

[selenite0]

I am 20,000 words into an untitled space opera and may be getting some use out of this.

Love it! These are even better than the fantasy titles. Super pulpy! There is a nostalgic quality to them---all those cadets and privateers, perhaps? (PS: Interplanet*a*ry)(and you should also include planetary, rings, sphere, moon, lens, and perhaps hegemony, spiral arm, rocket, quantum...? Could be they're in there and just haven't popped yet, for some reason it took a lot of tries before galaxy showed.)

Thank you so much. These are such fun.

I quote possibly want to read all these hypothetical novels.

[telophase]

Well, not with that attitude.

[telophase]

XD I forgot which title it was that had "Weed" in it, but I was pretty much blindly typing nouns in at that point...

[telophase]

Good! XD

[telophase]

You're welcome! About half the words you mentioned are in there ("hegemony" definitely is), and I'll put the others in shortly.

[telophase]

I know! XD

[indywind]

Very much doubt anyone will ever publish titles with Uranus in them, but please please please don't remove it from the word bank.

[telophase]

Of course not! I can't legitimately put "odor" or "smell" in there the way I could the fantasy generator but Uranus is nicely fitting into their shoes. XD

[indywind]

I would say Uranus is wearing their trousers.

but that is because I am fundamentally a 12-yr-old only impersonating a responsible adult. And not very well, either.

[telophase]

XD

I am a 12-year-old impersonating an adult as well, as I am reminded every time I go into the garage and see the rather, er, phallic oil stain on the floor...
