Whatever you do, don’t let them have my black ink pens

I have been having way too much fun playing with telophase‘s YA Dystopia Story Generator. (Inspired by a post by rachelmanija earlier this week; includes very occasional PG-13+ entries.)

My favorites so far:

Rage: Cartoons have been banned and the government controls construction paper. (Because dystopia for the early reader crowd is in sadly short supply.)

Dimmed: Sunlight has been banned and the government controls global warming. (Because this one actually … almost makes sense.)

And two fannish communities have already been spawned by this thing: random-dystopia and governmentcontrolledcats.

(ETA: A sequel to Dimmed! Drown: Rain has been banned and the government controls sunlight.)
