As you may be aware of, I've been making my random story generator prompts into ebook format. In the course of this month, I've made 14 of them, the 14th going up today.
Due to that, I've seen somewhere around 1,500 randomly generated story ideas in under 30 days. Do you have any idea what this will do to your head?
I've had more ideas than I could possibly use. The ReImagine a Fairy Tale book alone took four times what the other books did, cause I kept reading and being inspired by the prompt. Holy hell, that'd make a great story. They were all like that, but the fairy tale prompt especially. For me. Other people would look at them blankly - until they realized great movies or books were stolen from fairy tales, and they never noticed. Dinsey made a fortune off it.
I'm thinking I might just do a book on all the stories generated by the prompts. Maybe make an anthology.

Of interest only to writers, I've done a couple more generators.
ReImagine which is taking a story, fairy tale or movie and 're-imagining' it. In the music world, this is called 'remix'. In the book world, it's called theft, if you don't take out preparatory markers. It was a tedious generator to make, which doesn't interest you, but what might is there are close to 500,000 possible responses.
Then there's the Romance one. I'm not a romance writer, so I wasn't sure what things a romance writer was looking for. A bit of feedback helped with that. I only know one vanilla hetro romance writer, all the ones I know are, um, adventurous. And the romance generator reflects that lol
My third new generator is the Hero generator. It was fun to make, aimed at making a 'superhero' but can be used pretty much as any kind of hero, just by removing the Super bits. It's pretty much another character generator, but with flair.
The paranormal one is still in the works. It's not been officially 'announced' yet. It'll work, but it's still in beta. I'll probably be working it today.
On the to do list is crime and time travel.
Then I'm debating grouping some generators together, to make a super type, or all encompassing kind of generator. It'll be going into book format, for sale.

Release the Neanderthal spirits!
Neanderthal Mythos has been released to most main book distributors, like Barnes & Noble, Kobo and Apple, among many others, including hundreds of library's world wide. And this isn't even counting the many independent websites that pick up ebooks to offer on their site.
Except for smash, I can't see how many people have picked up their free copy of Mythos. I've no idea how many are floating around. I can see on one independent, there are 275 'looks', but not how many got it, and that's just one of many.
Neanderthal Mythos isn't a 'grand adventure' book, like Season of the Sand Bird is. It's a collection of short stories, mainly cautionary. (You won't see "don't put a plastic bag over your head", but you will see "don't sleep in the shade of a leopards tree".) These are the stories told around the community fire, aimed at keeping Neanderthal children alive.
It's out of my hands now. Only word of mouth will determine if Mythos is worthy.
Season of the Sand Bird, a full novel about the lives of Neanderthals, is due out in 2016.
Season of the Fire Snakes, continuing from the end of Sand Birds, is due out before 2018.
Season of the Shadow People (working title), will complete the trilogy, and is due when it's finished.
