Alrighty folks, I got the function I was asking about earlier working, so now The Prompt Machine can auto-add bands with just the click of a button!

BUT I have to add the bands into the code by hand, and that's BORING AS SHIT, so I'm gonna make it more interesting.

1. How many bands do you think I'll get entered tonight?
2. Will I get around to making the button placement aesthetically pleasing, or just leave 'em in a jumble?

Place your bets. Person who guesses closest, over or under, and gets the second question right, gets a fic. Any characters, any guidelines. If no one gets the second one right I'll go solely on who's closest.

Feel free to entice me by telling me what you'll have me write :mrgreen:

Things to keep in mind:
I have coffee, ice cream, and no need to leave the apartment tonight.
I have no class tomorrow, so bedtime is as late as I want it to be.
Entering a band takes about 5 minutes, assuming I have to type in all the members rather than copy/paste, and allowing for getting a little distracted when I'm testing.
I have four fics in progress open in WriteRoom - ie, I won't JUST be entering bands all night
I have no set list of bands I'm choosing from - your number has to come out of thin air

There were two really nice things about starting work on the prompt machine: One, most of what I needed to know I'd already done for the smut generator and was extremely comfortable with it and two, I knew exactly what it was I needed to learn.

Click for massive amounts of nerding )

So there it is. A site that takes any character lists, chooses two characters at random, adds a prompt that's silly or serious at the user's discretion and, if the user so chooses, assigns a special extra limitation.

God, you guys. I rock so hard.

Remember the Smut Generator?

I got bored again :)

The Prompt Machine.

It's the online version of the crack drabble dice game I posted about a while back. Yaaay crack. But it has normal prompts, too! And limitations! Write a fic where the word count is a palindrome, bitches.

I rock so hard.

Lemme know if you run into any problems, or have any ideas for prompts/limitations/whatevers.

(This was supposed to take all weekend :( Of course, there's plenty I could tweak...)

(Man, I need to find someone who'll pay me for these quicky little fic scripting projects. THEN I'd be set)

Writeup of the process coming, for those of you nerdy enough to get off on that shit (ie [livejournal.com profile] silicondreams)
