generators

Note: This fiction generator manipulates six strings of text, with each string containing six substrings. There are six parts to the first string, six parts to the second string, etc. After you've filled all the text boxes and begin to generate finished text, this generator will repeat each part of each string twice, in staggered sequence throughout each generation. Your text doubles in size. Each generation ends with a simple coda, either the first or last part of each string, depending on whether you choose the forward or back buttons.
Remember that if you want the text to persist, save this form to your favorites folder. Also remember that once you have original text in the boxes and want to edit it, don't click on any of the radio buttons. I've placed question marks after each text box. When your mouse goes over the question mark, a window pops up to offer you help on the text box and even, in some cases, gives you some text to paste into the box. Ignore the help boxes for now. I might get them to sync after a few months, but for now, forget them. (They might work for this grid.)
Sequence Level Control
This group of radio buttons controls the internal sequence level of each row. If you want every row to have the same sequence level, then only choose a button from each row once. If you want to change the sequence for each row, click 6 buttons here and then go to the row in question and click one of the mode buttons. You can have 6 different internal sequence levels. All these buttons do, though, is give you different abstract suggestions about what to put in the box.
