Alfred the Magnificent is a magician. Not the sort with a magic wand—the sort with a cheap tux and far too many pet rabbits. He has a knack for coming off as older and more mysterious than he really is, and his act is one of the last sources of wonder in the burned-out hellhole where he lives.
Alfred the Magnificent is very, very deep in debt. People are turning away from wonder, unable to accept anything other than the grime and the misery of their everyday lives. He has no other skills, and nowhere to turn.
At one night's performance, a cry arises. "Pickpocket! Someone stole my wallet!" Alfred proposes his greatest trick yet—and through cunning and trickery, he manages to catch the offender.
Perhaps there's another path available to him. If people can no longer see past their own lives, it's time to change their lives—one solved crime at a time.

Piper's Moon. It was a dried-out husk of a world, but it had melonite, so empires prepared for war.
My daughter Zadzu had picked that world for her doctoral project. She wanted to study miner culture in the most out-of-the-way place she could find. Now a storm was brewing all around her.
I had one chance to stop the war and save my child. I tracked down my old team of commandos. We would save that crazy tomboy even if it killed us, and along the way we might save a galaxy.
Little did we know that Piper's Moon harbored its own threats, and that Zadzu would surprise us all....

The Indian Pacific railroad in the Australian outback. Over 300 miles of dead straight track.
And Michael Kennedy's walking it.
Apparently, TV shows are serious business in Perth; following a year of living among the Aborigines, Michael proposed a show that presented a comical look at the Dreamtime. After the show's high ratings got the leading cartoon cancelled, representatives from its production team attacked him at the studio in the dead of night in a hectic gunfight. They dumped him by the tracks in the Outback and left him for dead.
Now, with only his wits and steel rails to follow, Michael must make it back to Perth to get production going again, avoiding wild animals, bandits, and the ever-present heat.
All without a cup of coffee to get him up in the morning.

All Ted Minor wanted was to see a ball game.
"Can you help us find our Mommy?
"My name is Peter. These are Florence, Martha, and Jackie. Mommy brought us to the stadium to watch Daddy play. That was a long time ago. We got lost.
"A man said he would help us find Mommy, but he didn't. He put us in a room downstairs.
"Well, we got loose. Martha found a vent with the cover off.
"The man has silver shoes. He has a woman with him, and she's really mean.

The heat of the sixties. The United States. One man.
Jim Mc Everyson heads to visit his relatives in the middle of their domestic paradise in southern California's sprawling suburbs. It takes him until when he leaves his parent's house, waving goodbye in his usual cheerful manner, that throughout his stay he was only advancing the corrupt goals of capitalism. His ideals set out before him, he chooses to be an advocate of the working man, and sets out to fight The Man, a business executive fat with all his wealth stolen from those less fortunate than him.
However, he can't use The Man's violent, selfish means to win the day. No, he must become the true Hero of the working class, a symbol to all those who have been wronged by The Man. With his new moustache granting him his fantastic hippie powers, he sets out to stick it to The Man by listening to new rock and roll music, smoking strange substances both new and old, and through having reckless hippie sex with The Man's conveniently all-female administrative workforce, so that he can never rise up again.

I write pretty good fanfiction, sometimes.
Nesithea's tree-dwelling people live quiet lives. Arguments are rare, and violence unheard-of. No major disasters have happened in living memory. Their lofty village doesn't change much from one year to the next. Its inhabitants rarely venture far, and visitors are few.
In short, it's dull, and Nesithea's had enough. So when a troupe of travelling players wanders in by accident, she leaps at the chance to join them.
At first, it seems like everything she's ever wanted: adventure, excitement, travelling to distant lands, meeting all sorts of colorful characters. But before long, the troupe is trekking through a seemingly endless desert, getting on each other's nerves, and putting up with the director's fits whenever things don't go exactly as he wants them to. Not to mention the mysterious man who calls himself the producer — why doesn't he ever leave his darkened wagon during the day? Why is one of the actresses strangely obsessed with him? And why does that actress seem to have it in for Nesithea?

Tony takes this opportunity to start a war between the two squads for his own amusment.
The two level headed people, Kima and Mioka, who could have stopped the fight were locked in the closet Lulu, yes the ship, who thinks that they're are in love, but doesn't realize that they are already dating.
This leaves Tammi, of all people, to stop the fight.

Pssshhhhh wow this is really weird... I want to try another.
There was a time when Robin Loxlyn fought for the poor and downtrodden, alongside what you could call a merry band of followers and friends. It was no jocose, lighthearted mission, but they did enough to keep themselves alive and help plenty of others. Robin and his friends were the only resistance against a great court of cut-throat nobles that left the population more impoverished than any other in the galaxy, and it wasn't long before they gained admiration, infamy and fame. It was Maestro the changed everything. A deranged and deadly hunter hired by the higher nobles at court turned up to hunt down every man, woman and child that Robin called 'friend', and his eerie love for the theatrical earned him the street title of 'The Music Man'. Soon, Robin's allies scattered into every dark corner the planet had to offer.
Now Robin is alone, friendless and struggling to survive against the consequences of his own heroic actions. Both himself and his surviving friends are dodging bullets by the hour, and it's only a matter of time before they must make their final stand. The only question is whether the old friends will ever have a chance to unite again.

Sarchasm (Episode 3G04)
At the end of the last episode, Snarky, Wry, and Bleaty got pulled into a Snore Door. Now they're in the Walled-Off Hysteria, a giant hotel where every passageway takes you back to the ice machine off the lobby. If that weren't bad enough, they keep running into other versions of themselves from different points during their stay. Once they find Professor Unfun and solve one of his science problems, they might get home again.
See Snarky save the day when he gets into an argument with the desk clerk! See Wry throw a fit every time they pass the restaurant and then fall into another pool of goop! See Bleaty figure out (as usual) what's really going on. Watch carefully and you might see Muon Mouse (from The Protonders) tagging along with a displaced version of the team.
Meanwhile, back in Sour Springs, the rest of the team tries to uncover Unfun's devious plot, while a shadowy figure follows Piffle to the Crepe House.

I may as well try another, since they're great practice.
An ordinary, white-collar citizen of a completely uniform, Dystopian planet finds himself randomly selected for a series of genetic tests that were invented to whittle out the weak in their society. The tests range from simple blood samples to obstacle courses, but they seem to trail on for days and slowly become more and more dangerous and suspicious in the process. Eventually, the main character gathers up his fellow test subjects and breaks out of the testing area and into the huge, labyrinthine facility.
Complications arise as the hero realizes his fellow escapees are a very odd bunch (including genetically altered horrors, people with erased memories, and others with dark secrets), and as much as he'd like to break out on his own, they insist on clinging to him and escaping together.
As the unusual bunch make their way through the government facility, they begin to run into the results of all of the tests: Altered, superior versions of themselves, intended to finally kill their originals and be redeployed into society in their places.
Suddenly, their escape is much, much more complicated.

Yeah, the oceans rose in the 21st century. Where I'm from, Nebraska, we didn't pay much attention, even after Miami and Los Angeles flooded.
Denise, my little sister, went to Manhattan to make it big on Broadway. See, they had to build a boat under the whole city to save it. Now it sails from port to port, putting on musicals and giving tours. But Denise, she fell in with a bad crowd. She called me to come pull her bacon out of the fire.
By "bad crowd," of course, I mean a bunch of terrorists, and wouldn't you know it, the leader is that sawed-off singer Santorio Watson. He's out there onstage wailing his head off, and I'm down here with an anti-matter bomb that's gonna go off in about two minutes. Now is it blue before yellow kills a fellow? or blue after yellow?

Come in, Totterson. Don't turn on the light, old man, not yet. Have a seat.
You'll recall that I enrolled at Miskatonic University to become a chef, as my uncle Antonio Whateley did. At first I devoted myself to my studies, spending long nights in the kitchen. Then I met Lola.
She was the living image of my Lenore. I never told you about my time in the Great War. She is the reason, and she is forever lost to me.
All the young men on campus know of Professor Bradford's widow. Lola had certain appetites, and it seemed I was the only one who could satisfy them. Pastries, cakes, eclairs, pies, every night something new. She ate as if under some compulsion, but I never knew the reason.
One day, while scouring the market, I came across a small shop. I was drawn to a chef's hat with a blue ribbon. As soon as I put it on, I knew—I had found the legendary Cordon Bleu, the inspiration of the greatest chefs in history.
I hurried to Lola's home, where I prepared the best meal of my life. Later, while we slept, I had a vivid and disturbing dream. Lola and I wandered through a land of giant desserts. Each vista was more delightful than the last, and the succulent treats would sing and dance for us, urging us to partake. We had to stop at every new delight and sample it. Before long Lola had grown to such a size that her head was lost in the mist. Then, before my eyes, she exploded!
I woke in a shivering sweat. Lola was gone. I found her in the kitchen, her face blue, a scone lodged in her throat.
Not knowing what to do, I came to my rooms. I threw myself on the couch and slept fitfully, but I had more nightmares. Everywhere I saw Lola's face. And when I woke up, I had changed into what you see before you, if you but turn on the light.
Yes. I have become a giant eclair.

In the late 1970s there was an explosion of black television. Even if you didn't watch Good Times or What's Happenin!! you heard about them.
One show you didn't hear about was Get Home Son, an animated series created by three young men from Laurel, Mississippi. Using only a home movie camera, a tape recorder, and infinite patience, they put together an eight-minute piece of subversive, ground-breaking comedy. Thomas Washington, Clyde Levitt, and Shelby Taylor, with help from their high-school guidance counselor, sent copies of their short to studios across the country. One studio in Pasadena liked it enough to offer them plane fare for a visit. On the strength of the original short and the studio's commitment to produce a full season, ABC commissioned a pilot episode. If they had picked up the show, it would have premiered in the fall of 1980.
In August 1980 the three co-creators made the short trip to Philadelphia, Mississippi, for Ronald Reagan's appearance at the Neshoba County Fair. They expected to get some comedic material for an episode they could show just before the election. What they heard, though, was a declaration of war on blacks. Immediately they dropped their plans for Get Home Son and dedicated themselves to civil rights work.
That, barring a miracle, is the end of the story. There are no known copies of the original short. Levitt overdosed on crack in 1987. Washington died of AIDS in 1993. Taylor was killed in 1997 in a domestic violence incident. All that remains is the pilot, which was so heavily reworked by "creative consultants" that it bears little resemblance to the original concept.
The main characters are three teenagers, Uncle, Dabs, and Spunk, who obviously stand in for Washington, Levitt, and Taylor. They live in an unspecified urban area. They have a length of rubber hose they call "Milton," possibly a metaphor for drug use, which passes randomly from one character to another and with which they sometimes converse.
After a standoff with members of a local gang, the three teens go to their guidance counselor for help. She directs them to the janitor, who sends them into a closet. The interior of the closet, though, turns out to be medieval Africa. After some aimless wandering and head scratching, they are chased by a lion and captured by a tribe of head hunters. The witch doctor of the tribe, who wants to depose the chief, gives them a spell to nullify the tribe's idol, a large wooden effigy. Just before they are sacrificed, they use the spell. The idol reverts to human form. The lion reappears and eats the idol and the chief. Dabs hears his mother calling, "Get home, son," and they return to the present time.
Meanwhile, the guidance counselor, Ms. Jackson, faces eviction from her apartment. She teaches her landlord how to pacify his cats, and so earns a reprieve. In the finale, the characters dance to a original song, which borrows heavily from Motown.

I've always wanted to use this as a writing exercise whenever I'm in the dumpiest dumps of writer's block (like right now). Perhaps somebody's done something like this before, but here goes.
A friendly game of story-generator roulette. 1. Go to the TV Tropes Story Generator tool. 2. Generate that sucka 3. Write a brief, catchy, back-of-the-book plot summary for the story that was generated, using every single trope that comes up. 4. If you don't like the batch you've been given, roll again, by all means. But for the sake of fun, try and give yourself only 3 rerolls before you force yourself to write one.
Regardless, anyone want to give it a try?
I hope you enjoy whatever is written above. If not - well, I'm afraid that's life.
