PlotBoiler
What IS this?

"Behind the curtain" where you can't see, there are several lists of items. There's a separate list for characters, characteristics, actions, genres and locations. When you click the "Boil Another Plot" button, PlotBoiler takes a random (and unique) set from each of those lists and creates a storyline from those items so you see something different every time.

If you'd like to add an item to one of these lists you can do that in the "Add Your Own" section below. If you just hate the whole thing, you can voice that opinion as well in the comments area below that.

Plots can be saved as well. So if you really like one, hit the "Save This Plot" button and enter your name. You'll be given a link so you can view your saved plot anytime and it will be added to the PlotBoiler Hall of Fame.

Add Your Own
Add your own possibilities to PlotBoiler below.
Just type something in and choose a category for it.
If you're adding a character, please try to add a character description as opposed to a specific person
("A bad-ass ex-president famous for his safari trips" instead of "Teddy Roosevelt")
so the genderless characteristics will work better.

I like the character of the gravedigger. Maybe the gravedigger has OCD so this way he can connect withe analyst in the story.

good to get rid of blocks, but not ideal for practical use.

Just visited an old fashioned fairground and was pursued by a drooling caricature artist

Capitalism stinks, and the crimes of man extend far beyond the imaginable.

Almost a whole year since someone commented so here's a gift. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I like spaghetti, and cupcakes are god." ... yep.

This is good fun! I like that I can have input, although a bit more guidance on how to word things would be useful.

Will this make it possible that I can bribe someone into giving me one of those tiny monkeys? I hope it does. I really want one of those tiny monkeys.

So will this "PlotBoiler" help me to write a novel that will win the pulitzer prize? Looking forward to your help on this matter.

I hope I'm not the only comment in here years from now.
