The Generator.

While looking for name inspiration for my new bike, came across this French Male Name Generator... which connected to a French Female Name Generator... and Place Name Generators and Character Description Generators and Ethnicity Generators?! Oh my!

Presenting Serendipity.

A randomly generated snippet from some of my fave categories:
Fantasy Plotter: A wizard raised by merfolk goes in search of a devious sorceress.
Chinese Restaurant Generator: Happy Flower
French Female Name Generator: Gisèle-Joséphine Girardin
Villainess Name Generator: Hecate the Fiendess, The Manic Viper
Japanese Male Name Generator: Kono Noriyuki

So now that the hard bit's done for you, get writing. That Giller Prize ain't gonna win itself.

So you think you know your fonts?


It takes more than just hating Comic Sans and Papyrus to be a font connoisseur. Try The Rather Difficult Font Game and if you get your LT STD 55 in gear you might just make it into the Hall of Fame for all Perpetua. Ha, sorry. Couldn't resist.

Out of the 18/34 questions I filled out (before office guilt set in again), I had gotten 12 correct.

Get more than 2/3 right and I'll send you something. Seriously.
