They Fight Crime!

They Fight Crime is a plot generator. Refreshing the page gives you a new, interesting set of characters and circumstances to spark your creativity. The scenarios it gives are meant to be funny, such as the one I just got:

“He's a leather-clad guerilla grifter with a secret. She's a pregnant African-American magician's assistant from a family of eight older brothers. They fight crime!”

To be honest, though, I have actually gotten a few ideas from this website. They seem (are) absurd, but they’ve gotten me thinking before, imagining scenes and characters I might never have thought to write.

All in all, it’s a silly website that’s fun to play with, that might be more helpful than you think.


Directories

Writers Free Reference

Writers Free Reference is a directory of links, containing an assortment of categories such as publishing information, writing contests, and general research.

The website itself is unfortunately stuck in the 1990’s, with a pretty awful layout, but the content is good. I’ve gone through and checked many of the links (as this was an old bookmark I recently re-discovered), and the ones I checked were all still working (though many of the websites they link to also haven’t been stylistically updated either).
