Short Story Ideas

I know this may be a little late, since everyone pretty much has their story written out, but I re-found this website that I used a while ago to make stories. It basically gives you a starting point or an inspiration for your story. It also helps with character development, it will generate a name and a brief description of the character, like the example shown below.
















There's many other features, like it will give you a title of the story, an image you can use as inspiration, the setting and theme of your story, first lines, etc. It may be useful when trying to find alternate ways your story can go. If anything, the next interactive storytelling class can benefit from it :).

If we're mentioning sources that people can use to draw inspiration from, the website tvtropes.org is another good one. It's well known, I guess, but for those who don't know...

It's basically a mass informal commentary on different tropes [something that's mentioned enough in the class anyway]. For example, the discussion we had on multiple endings relates to this page very well:

Check it out. It's really helpful, or at the least, it's addicting to go through it.

It seems my comment got cut off. The link ends as
