On Gmail, I spied an ad calling 'NaNoWriMo Participants', and procrastinating on aforementioned project, I clicked on it:

http://www.storybase.net/index.php

It's really quite simple- you enter in your characters' names, and then you can choose their mindset, type of action, or a keyword, and the program will give you a few general ideas for a scene or a plot.

For instance, if you put in 'Hamlet' as a character, and choose the keyword 'death', it'll give you things such as, "Hamlet is paranoid upon a vision of death", and so on. [That was an actual one...creepy how it knows the story, right? :P]

It's pretty great if you're bored/stuck- and it wouldn't hurt to get guidance on fleshing out on a story.

Oh my... I made my characters Daniel, Claude, and Freak and clicked relationship, because all three of them have that conflict in the story, and for some weird reason, the program wanted to put Claude and Daniel together...

Daniel has a secret relationship with Claude


Only a little disturbing! O_o

Oh well. Then there were some conflicts that came pretty close to the actual thing, lol.

Monessa struggles to help a dying Sebastian


That is very wrong, however:

Monessa can’t help but laugh at Sebastian

Afraid of change, Monessa avoids success


This is more like it.

Oy, Sam--whether useful or not, it's fun. ^_^

And this seemed apt:
Tov turns and runs


The one before it, however, made no sense at all. o0'

... it's trying to match up a twelve year old girl and a twenty-two year old elf! And the elf is tiny. Not like a human sized elf.

Insane.

Alright, I had a little too much fun with this, and I think I was entirely too amused.

Currently, my main character is feeling anger, so I went with that to see what happend. The results were too funny!

Samuel seeks revenge - True

Samuel helps Welcome get revenge on Martha - Not if I kill Samuel first! Totally false.

Samuel seeks revenge against Welcome for harming Martha - :shock: Ah... Such violence, LOL!

Samuel imagines getting revenge against Welcome - I think his father would bend him like a twig first.

----

Then, I decided to be more realistic and this is what I came up with. I almost laughed quite a bit especially with a character that has never been put to paper in detail yet. Take a peek:

Garrick insults Angus - :shock: Well, that would be the end of the story in one short blow.

Garrick loses control - Ah... No comment. ;)

Garrick provokes Angus - Garrick has a deathwish apparently.

Garrick loses everything - No fair! They're in my head! But what does he gain? That's the real question.

Garrick considers giving up - OK, this is getting weird but so true.

Garrick receives forgiveness - Yikes! This program knows my char a little too well!

Garrick celebrates with Angus - Or maybe not! LOL!

Garrick is thirsty for revenge - So true...

Garrick is reunited with Angus - Gay marriages in the 18th century, well, that's new!

Garrick catches Angus cheating - And there goes the divorce...

Garrick expresses love to Angus - Now I know where Brokeback Mountain came about.

Garrick learns of Angus's death - Great, another emotional journey. :x

Garrick is unable cope with life - Uh... No comment again. ;)

Garrick visits a place from the past - Yup!

Garrick viciously lashes out at Angus - I wouldn't do that to the British. Garrick has issues. :P
The sadness drains through me rather than skating over my skin. It travels through every cell to reach the ground. I filter it yet strangely enough, I keep what was pure and it is the dirt that leaves.
