The Story Generator

Welcome to The Story Generator, a fun way to create funny stories from words you supply!

Simply add the words you want to use in the boxes below, select the type of story you want, click the button at the bottom of the page and we will do the rest! It's like magic, only with lots of coding in the background!

Let's get some words!

First of all, we will need to know your name. This is so we can credit you as the "madlibber" of the story. Don't worry, we don't store any of your details when you use The Story Generator but if you're really, really paranoid then go ahead and put a fake name here. We won't mind.
Your Name:

Okay, now we're going to need a couple of character names from you. These can be anything you want but it's best to have a forename and a second name. If you can't think of some names, use your friends! They won't mind. Well... okay, they might. Some of these stories can get a bit silly. If you think they will mind, either don't use their names, or just don't tell them you did. What they don't know can't hurt them!
Name 1: Name 2:

Now we're going to need some nouns. Nouns are words for objects, like "egg", "bed", "chainsaw" and "monster". We will need four of these, although not all of them will be used in each story. For best results, pick four different types of noun rather than all foodstuffs, or all monsters. Actually, scratch that. Choose what you want and see what happens. Why are you listening to me anyway, it's your story!
Noun 1: Noun 2: Noun 3: Noun 4:

We're really getting somewhere now, aren't we! Let's flesh out the story with a few verbs. You can't go wrong with a few verbs, they're practically the backbone of any story! Verbs are words that mean actions, like "shot", "caught", "ran" and "exploded". You can choose any four you want.
Verb 1: Verb 2: Verb 3: Verb 4:

My goodness, the story is just about ready to go now but let's add the icing on the cake, shall we. We need some adjectives and a couple of adverbs as well. Adjectives describe nouns, like "red", "disgruntled", "fat" and "squamous". Adverbs are similar but they describe verbs, like "quickly", "vexatiously", "carefully" and "stupidly". We will need four of each.
Adjective 1: Adjective 2: Adjective 3: Adjective 4:
Adverb 1: Adverb 2: Adverb 3: Adverb 4:

We're almost done! All we need is to add the finishing touch to our tale. We will do this by thinking up a couple of good exclamations. Exclamations are short outbursts a character might make for emphasis, or maybe just because they were surprised. Something like "gadzooks" or "oh no" will do. Don't worry about punctuation, the story will add that for you.
Exclamation 1: Exclamation 2:

Choose your story!

Now we need you to decide what kind of story you want. There are several options available and more on the way (we are working on a way for you to submit your own, too!) but for now, let's choose from the ones we already have available for your reading pleasure.

Finally, let's press that all-important button and let the magic happen!
