Match, made in heaven
Match, made in heaven, ignited hell.
Lonely man. Artificial intelligence. Lonely machine.
My wedding invitations. My hit list.
Human slaves. Robot slaves. Human slaves.
Two wives, one funeral, no tears.
Right place. Right time. Wrong dimension.
Head cheerleader, star quarterback: produce nerd.
Man builds computer. Computer builds man.
Past deadline, reporter finds the story.
Time traveler kills himself. Ruled homicide.
Loved her enough to pretend otherwise.
Lonely scientist grows his own women!
Or, less cliché, Lonely scientist grows her own man.

A Witch Without a Broom
Begin anywhere but work towards a Lead character. Keep it sketchy at first. Don't burden the story or characters down too much. You want them to be flexible to change as the other elements change.
Once you have a character come up with (or add) several possible goals. What does this character have a burning need for? What will drive her or him through any and all obstacles thrown their way? The obvious choice is a broom. Why does she want one? Is there a looming event that he will need one for? Why doesn't she have one? He's broke? Her witch family is anti-broom? Why? He's been banned from riding? Why?
The less obvious choice is determination to get by without a broom in a world dependent on the broom? Why? What would drive him against the norm?
As you're filling in essentials, you'll probably find yourself tweaking other aspects. This is good :-) Everything should fit together. A change in goal will affect character, will affect who will oppose him, will affect her character flaws.
Once you've filled in everything ... change the Lead! Change the sex. Do the goals, flaws, opposition, obstacles still fit? How does it change the story? Add more that fit this character better.
Then .. change the Lead again :-) Make him or her 7. Then make her or him 83. Add new goals, opposition. Play around. Have fun with it. :-)
Once you have a good collection, you can cut them up, and draw randomly until you find a combination that feels fresh.
The Lead . . .
Keep it basic and let the goal, the flaws, the antagonist and everything else contribute to the shaping.
The Goal and why the Lead really really must have it . . .
What will happen if she doesn't get it?
What will his life be like if he gives up?
Character flaws that will get in her or his way . . .
Think in terms of character traits that have helped her up until now. Perhaps begin with strengths. But his circumstances have change and what once worked isn't working so well. (But it's part of his identity so he won't give it up easily!) Or she's carried the strength too far and pushed out traits that could have balanced it.
Examples of Traits and traits gone too far:
Confidence/Pride
Frugal/Cheapskate
Self-sufficiency/Not a team player
Spontaneous/Not a planner
How has this trait been valuable up to this point?
The Antagonist who will throw some of the obstacles between the Lead and the goal . . .
Not necessarily the villain! It could be the Lead's best friend. It's anyone who doesn't want the Lead to reach the goal. If a villain, they want the goal themselves so must prevent the Lead from getting it. If a loved one, perhaps they want to save the Lead from the consequences of these obvious bad choices. (Maybe the Antagonist is right! Maybe the Lead can figure out a way to make it all work.)
Obstacles between the Lead and what he or she wants. . .
Especially ones designed to challenge his or her character flaw.

Fairy detail
But wickedness is afoot. Each time you set something up, some changes happens and the characters make the wrong choice. You must find a way to ensure the necessary events happen while you search out who is sabotaging your work.

Curiosity
Ms. Cammy Tutu, who has the quickest paws within wandering distance, has been concerned about suspicious behavior in the neighborhood.
She's asked the quite attractive private detective who lives around the corner if he might look into what's going on.
Mr. Quizzical Mytsz, who it's rumored, contrary to his quiet polite ways, once ran feral, is pleased to. He takes along his sometimes overly eager assistant Tollifer.
It's quite possible that sometime during the investigation that these two, the curiously dependent Banner Baloo and his reticent companion Jullien, will be involved.

The Ghost People
Princess Nuwara, the new leader of the small republic.
She is proud and unsure of herself. She has been thrust into leadership too soon after her mother succumbed to an illness that shouldn't have been fatal.
Eliya, her older sister.
Eliya has voluntarily exiled herself to what was a protected area of the republic to be with the nearly one hundred others of her kind, often referred to as the Ghost People. She is looked to as a leader by them.
There have always been rumors of the Ghost People being sorcerers but the land has been so peaceful, the rumors had remained murmurs, creating discomfort but little else. Before Eliya and Nuwara's mother died, Ghosts would find their way to the Ghost enclave once a year. But ever since Nuwara's ascension, Ghosts have been arriving more frequently, rising to once a month bringing with them tales of persecution.
To dig into the matter Eliya arrives at her sister's palace, once her home too.
The atmosphere feels different as though it's no longer her home. Eliya's unsure if it's the place that has changed or herself. She's greeted by Menifer, the sisters' nurse, caretaker and companion since they were born, who is now her sister's advisor.
They spend some time reminiscing in an antechamber before she's escorted -- allowed? -- to see her sister. Eliya can't shake the feeling of being controlled and manipulated as she enters her sister's receiving room.

Would you rather ... 2
 |
| Image inspiration |
- Never have to worry about money?
- Or live in a world with Pokemon?
(If you'd rather consider a different dream fantasy world it's cheating to pick the universe of Star Trek since money isn't an issue in the Federation! ;-))
Create a list of pros and cons for each. The more convincingly you can argue both sides of an issue, the more effective your writing. :-)
This came from The 15 Hardest "Would You Rather" Questions You Will Ever Be Asked (undoubtedly just one of many repostings). When I hit the dragon one then this one, my interest was piqued! As I read the rest, I realized why I don't like "Would you rathers". They're almost always picking between two horrible things. I'd much rather ponder the quandary of two equally tempting things!

Quay's quandary
Quay is the King's magician. He wakes up one morning and discovers his magic gone. This is not a good thing! The King's prospective bride is arriving in a week and he'll be asked to cast several spells to confirm she is who she claims. And to make matters worse, there are others coveting his position as King's Magician.
He has asked for a leave of a few days to attend his "sick aunt" who isn't sick but is a healer. He arrives at her home.
He finds his Aunt Edelia ...
with her apprentice Siff,
Quay explains his quandary. Edelia hovers over Siff, directing her in the casting of spells and mixing of potions that the apprentice doesn't seem particularly adept at. Finally his aunt says he's been cursed. But she can't do anything unless she knows more about it.
Quay is in a bind. He needs his magic back NOW.
Siff offers her help. She confesses she's not much of a healer. Her family made her apprentice here. What she really has always wanted to be is a magical investigator and she'd love this opportunity to prove she can do it. Quay is skeptical (and a bit of a snob). But what choice does he have?

Snakes on a plane
Ms. Shofi Ademola has been hired as assistant to Jan Czarnecki, 137th richest man in the world. After a night jet flight to Montevideo, then a two seater plane ride to a landing strip in a cow pasture, then a 3 hour jolting ride in a Jeep, the odd questions she'd been asked in her third and final interview looped in her head. Had she ever been bungee jumping? Was she allergic to exotic foods? And was her baby sitting certificate up to date? They had laughed after the last question.
The jeep brought her to mud hut with a corrugated tin roof where a guide and donkeys waited for her and her luggage. After four hours on the donkey there was a forty five minute climb up the side of a mountain which brought her here:
Surely this was some bizarre joke. Perhaps one of those reality shows. She was dusty, sore and the guide was calling for Jan, his voice growing distant as he ventured further into the jungled forest. Then twenty minutes later she was greeted with, "Hey, Shof, know any new ways of cooking snake?" If it weren't for the smile, she wouldn't have recognize this man before her as Jan Czarnecki.
Take it from there.

Comet tales
 |
| Broom of Doom by Matt Dixon |
What stories would resonate with the kids on the Next Generation's Enterprise? What things go bump in the night? Who are the wolves and the evil beasts? What character types would be satisfying as the rescuer and the one to be rescued? What will be the rewards and the magic?
I stumbled across a succinct list of fairy tale character, setting, action and so on motifs to help you build a tale.
This is based on what the character DOES in the story. The character can change but rarely does. Characters in fairy tales are stereotypes, that is they are patterns rather than fully developed persons. One prince is the same as another. In fact the essence of the fairy tale is predictable pattern, or motif, where the predictability is comforting but the details of plot and particulars make it interesting. There are seven character types in fairy tales. A story may not have all seven, but every character in the story may be classified as one of these types.A. Elder
- A king or a father figure.
- Stationary (Stays home.The hero does the adventuring.)
- Sometimes disabled. (Can be sick, impoverished, or have a rotten kid.)
- Person who has gained the most by the end of the story.
- Moves, often vertically (This is meant very literally. The hero is the one who climbs glass mountains, goes down into wells and caverns, etc.)
- Object of the hero's affections.
- Hero often does battle for his/her True Love.
- Opposes hero.
- Force of evil. (Can be a traditionally evil creature such as a witch, giant, gnome, etc.)
- Often a powerful, magical person (Cinderella's Fairy Godmother)
- Gives advice or a valuable gift to the hero
- Often tests the hero (and others)
- Friend or companion of the hero, often of lower social class, a servant
- Binding/unbinding relationship with the hero (Again, very literal. Snow White is freed by the dwarves from the comb which binds her hair and the girdle which is laced too tight.)
- Brings news (Messenger in Rumplestilskin, also the Mirror in Snow White, which while not human, behaves like a character)
A. Home (The hero's home. Often Home-Adventure-Home pattern.)
- An ordinary place, not magical.
- Often the starting and/or ending place of the story.
- Where the hero gets his/her heart's desire.
- Often a monster here to overcome first (In Hansel and Gretel, to hungry children the gingerbread house is paradise, but they must first overcome the witch.)
- Escape desired. (The oven in Hansel and Gretel.)
- Seems dangerous, but isn't.
- Shadowy, mysterious.
- Transitions occur, deals are made. (Hansel and Gretel are frightened in the forest, but they are not in danger there. Cinderella is transformed in the garden.)
A. Objects in groups. Usually makes a pattern such as:
- Size (Increasing or decreasing.)
- Material (Everything may be gold, for example.)
- Power (Each object has some kind of magical or symbolic power such as wealth, authority.)
- Transportation (Seven league boots, horseless saddle, traveling cloak)
- Weapons
- Supply (bottomless purses)
- Medicine (elixir, a medicine that restore life)
- Token of Recognition - by which the hero/true love recognize each other (Cinderella's slipper), may have some relationship to water or liquid.
A. Actions of the Hero
- Quest
- Endurance test (Hero can't speak until task done or time is up.)
- Tasks to perform, usually 3, involving:
- food or water
- wood
- fire or stone
- Cleverness or wit
- Virtue
- Courage and strength
- Wealth
- Love
- Status
A. Use of numbers: 3, 7, 12
B. Opening and closing lines ("Once upon a time, ...happily every after". See Once Upon a Time for a list from tales around the world.)
C. Chante Fable, the inclusion of a song, chant, incantation, etc. in story (like "Mirror mirror on the wall," "I'll huff and I'll puff, etc.")

Basquing in the desert
You arrive in the desert town of Cappadocia. The main route in is blocked by an overturned truck of melons and an animal-drawn cart of dung. The two drivers argue in the middle of the street in different languages.
Detouring around, you approach the center by way of a less used side street. Along the way there is a small square with a hand pump for water where you see this trio. They speak rapidly in a language that sounds like nothing you've heard before. As you approach, they still, their gazes following you.
A movement ahead catches your eye as someone disappears into the side door of the inn you intend to stay at. You enter and find ...
speaking in tense, low tones. "They're back. You need to get down here now. We can't go through that again." When he notices you he hangs up abruptly. After a pause and stare he says, "Can I help you?"

Random conflict
One, write a sentence for each word (or some form of it) dealing with an internal or external conflict for the main character of the sentence.
Two, create a list of 6 characters -- yours or your favorites. Roll a die to randomly choose two characters. Pit those two characters in conflict with each other. If you roll the same number twice, you can either roll again or make it an internal conflict. If you have a lot of characters, you can make two lists of 6, perhaps a list of good guys and bad guys. Though putting two good guys or two bad guys in conflict is potentially more interesting! :-)
A is for Abandoned
B is for Betrayal
C is for Clandestine
D is for Double-cross
E is for Elegy
F is for Favoritism
G is for Grovel
H is for Hostility
I is for Isolation
J is for Jealousy
K is for Kinship
L is for Liaison
M is for Misunderstanding
N is for Neglectful
O is for Obedient
P is for Phobia
Q is for Questionable
R is for Rebellion
S is for Surrender
T is for Thwart
U is for Underestimate
V is for Violated
W is for Withdraw
X is for eXhume
Y is for Yield
Z is for Zealous
