NaNoWriMo - Generated Story Rules

Miranda James: NaNoWriMo: "Someone dared me to write a book based on online generators and, for giggles, publish it to lulu for the group to order and/or read."

I thought this would be a good project for nanowrimo.

So, here are the random generators we used and the results we came up with. Fortunately for me, the 'rules' are flexible.

TITLE
Random Title Generator by Maygra: "Random Title Generator If this generates a title of a book or short story already in existence, I assure you, it was completely random. If it generates a title you'd like to use, go right ahead!"

I took the titles the generator spit out for me, checked them against Amazon to make sure there wasn't already a book by that name, and replaced the ones that I needed to. For the nanowrimo book, I will need to use one of these titles:

Title 1: Cracked Return
Title 2: The Darkest Stone
Title 3: Bridges of Destruction
Title 4: Hard Vision
Title 5: Servant of Sky
Title 6: Vision of Soaring


MAIN CHARACTERS

Seventh Sanctum - Quick Name Generator

I used this generator to come up with the heroine and hero names. I reserve the right to combine, spell, or mutilate the names to fit the characters, because we all know how temperamental they can be about their names.

Ten random girl names.
  1. Cornelia Robertson
  2. Judith Barry
  3. Minnie Alana Nichols
  4. Selena Leanne Pratt
  5. Shari Whitfield
  6. Erika Pearson
  7. Helene Elise Hernandez
  8. Nettie Elvira Bentley
  9. Ruby Waller
  10. Veronica Summer Beck

And 10 random guy names.
  1. Alfredo Hutchinson
  2. Austin Lang
  3. Curtis Koch
  4. Doug Goodwin
  5. Jere Roth
  6. Osvaldo Kelley Oconnor
  7. Antonio Shields
  8. Derick Perry Doyle
  9. Julius England
  10. Rhett Le
  11. Taylor Meyer
