The Online YA Dystopia Generator!

[rachelmanija]

telophase has created an online YA dystopia generator!

Thrill: Nudity has been banned and the government controls darkness.

Bounce: Heterosexuality has been banned and the government controls popsicles.

Leap: Roads have been banned and the government controls gravity.

I'm sure she's still adding to it, so feel free to suggest titles and things which could be banned or controlled.

That is amazing like an amazing thing. I...want someone to run a flashfiction challenge based on it. :D

hee!

Exit: Garlic has been banned and the government controls gardening.
Dance: Gardening has been banned and the government controls windows.
Pwned: Reading has been banned and the government controls height.
Snicker: Stainless steel has been banned and the government controls speech.
Pwned: Writing has been banned and the government controls sidewalks.

Hmmmm...Pwned came up twice - banning reading clearly won't work unless writing is also banned - and now the government controls height and sidewalks - the plot thickens.

Oh, God, this is brilliant. It's like if the Structuralists wrote YA:

"Sigh: Sadness has been banned and the government controls llamas."

[raykat.livejournal.com]

Drag: The name Steve has been banned and the government controls teenagers.

Devour: Long hair has been banned and the government controls teen angst.

Burn: Erections has been banned and the government controls gatherings of more than six unrelated people.

Seize: Sex has been banned and the government controls music. (This has to already exist.)

Bounce: Heterosexuality has been banned and the government controls popsicles.

I'd read it, but... I don't think this should be filed in the YA section. *eg*

Vibrate: Erections have been banned and the government controls chocolate.

I liked that one, I thought it was poignant.

I've seen some ridiculous bans proposed in real life. How much they're actually enforced once they're put in place, I wonder. Not much, I'd imagine.

Dig: Lace has been banned and the government controls knitting.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This whole thing has eaten my brain to the point I started a comment meme for all the random dystopias. :D
