Want to write a TZP fanfic but don't know where to start? Have you run up against a block in your current fanfic? You might want to try the TZP Story Generator.

By clicking on the generator button you will be given four random items: a character, a situation, a location, and an item to include in your story. When put together, the random elements can spark an idea for a fanfic. This isn't to say that every combination will be logical or easy to use but that's part of the challenge! ;)

If you don't like your first combination you can keep clicking until it lands on something you do like- or, if you already have the basic idea for a plot, you can also pick and choose elements from various combinations to help you further along your story. Another option is using several of the generator's prompts at once; each roll of the dice will give you a new character and corresponding situation that, with a little bit of imagination, you can weave together into a story with quite a few sub-plots.

I'll be continuously updating the engine with new items (and perhaps deleting a few of the more bland ones) so if you have suggestions for things that you'd like to see included, please email me! :) Thanks- and have fun!
