I am mulling ideas for a client's cover in my backbrain and poking at my elevator pitch generator, which I updated with some more elements last night.

Okaaaay...:

An uncanny, rollicking novelette, this eldritch horror post-apocalyptic fable is what you'd get if you mashed up The Vampire Diaries with Schindler's List.

This timely media tie-in, a transcendant contemporary fantasy narrative, is the result of mashing up Conan and Mutiny on the Bounty.

This rambunctious trilogy, a rollicking romantasy narrative, is the result of mashing up Murderbot and Titanic.

Recommended for fans of big swords and true love.

Reminiscent of James Patterson and Lord Dunsany, this debut biopunk book is a fast-moving novel.

If Evan Winters mixed Slaughterhouse-Five with a touch of Casablanca, the result would be this numinous tour-de-force.

Fans of Rebecca and Fury Road will resonate with this suspense story that seriously examines loss.

If Murasaki Shikibu wrote The Man in the High Castle, this striking saga is what you'd get.

What would happen if Nicholas Sparks wrote The Expanse?


I would read these:

Full of delicious food, love transcending all, and bears.

Takes readers into a haunting and haunted world of mutants and Faustian bargains.

An extraordinary Murderbot meets Fallout and tackles issues of determinism in this darkly comic novel.

A breathtaking, contemporary novelette, this folktale is what you'd get if Umberto Eco wrote The Planet of the Apes.


I would read the ebook sample of these:

The Maltese Falcon meets Ninefox Gambit in this wonderful neo-classic book. Recommended for readers who want medieval settings and circuses.

A surprising, endearing series, this cozy mystery series successfully mixes YA fantasy and legal thriller with layered characters.

A transcendant paranormal romance, this Stabby Award-winning trilogy is like Friday the 13th, but with extra bears.

This might be the fastest concept-to-finish generator I've ever done, but the Elevator Pitch / Blurb Generator is done and live!

I was reading a book announcement on tor.com that described a book as being in the vein of two books that were as utterly unlike each other as...as...two unlike things. Naturally, I had to make a generator.

So! If you are a writer who needs inspiration, a publicist who is writing a press release, or an author who's been asked to blurb a book and you're lost for words...here you go! It tends to float between things that sound legitimate and things that take a left turn through WTF.

Do feel free to link away!

This debut work of fiction is best described as a combination of Aliens and Psycho, as written by Beatrix Potter.

A queer, ambitious page-turner, this series is what you'd get if Pamela Dean wrote Ice Planet Barbarians.

I have created a Patreon focused on the random generators since occasionally people do indeed support me through various methods there. I haven't updated the generators pages with it yet, and haven't even updated the tier levels with the suggestions I got (thanks [personal profile] selenite0!) because Patreon switched from one way of doing things to another and if the Patreon went live before a certain date I got grandfathered in under the old way. Yes, I know that's very vague, but I'm still a bit hazy on exactly what was changing and decided to make it live before the date because I could always switch to the new way if that worked better.

So! If you want to give me money every time (which is really not very often) I put a new generator up, then here you go!

Coming up in the near future, once I finally finish it, a Newbery Award Winner generator!

I check the logs on magatsu.net every day, just to see where I'm getting my traffic (quite a lot on a daily basis from seventhsanctum.com, thank you [livejournal.com profile] dragonscholar!). It also has the search terms that people use to find the site on Google and other search engines. Today it's got the usual mix of "story generator" "art prompts" and so on, and something I'm quite proud of, "best story generator on the internet". It also included "essay conclusion generator."

I so hope that someone used one of my prompts to finish their essay off with. "And in conclusion, this narrative is about rebirth. It starts in an asylum with a nice guy who doesn't finish last. The antagonist is a scholar and the plot involves elements like the texture of silk and aerodynamic martial arts fighting."

(because I just updated the generator with a few more media and a new sentence structure)
It includes tacos and alchemy. )

Feeling vaguely arty, so I'm going through the art prompts generator to see if I can get inspiration. I'm not doing this prompt, but it would certainly be quite a challenge. How would you handle it?
Create a portrait of a girl disguised as a boy without using any characteristic normally associated with that sort of person.




P.S. Dinner was Tuna Helper. I realized that I was at the point that if I didn't eat fairly quickly, I was going to get the migraine back, and it was the fastest option. :) I wanted the artichoke, but it would have been 45 minutes minimum until I ate, and I couldn't take that risk. It'll be there tomorrow.

From the Art Prompt Generator:

Riff off of the theme of pretending it's not broken, while incorporating kissing and dripping wet hair.

Show a priestess, and a corset. The piece should not contain any sort of a mechanical host body.

Yes! It's ...... the Random Art Prompt Generator!

Featuring a choice of simple (one word or phrase) prompts or elaborate (two or more elements)!

And if you do anything inspired by this, please show me! (if anyone actually does anything with it, I might create an online gallery for it. :D)
