Random Paragraph Generator

Pick a genre, say roughly how long the paragraph should be, and the page writes it on the first screen. Each paragraph is one scene: the subject is named in the first sentence, and every sentence after it refers to that person with the same pronouns, so the result reads as connected prose rather than a stack of unrelated sentences. The length you ask for is opened by a sixth either way to make a target, sentences are added until the paragraph lands inside it, and the count under the box is a count of the text that is actually there, including any edits you make. The seed above the box brings the same paragraph back on any machine, and the 15 scenes behind the five genres were written for this page, so nothing here was scraped and no model wrote it.

Generate picks a fresh seed and writes again. Type a seed of your own, or the one above the box, and the same genre, length and seed bring the same paragraph back on any machine. The box is yours to edit: the word count follows what is in it, Copy takes what is in it, and Download saves it as plain text with the settings on the first line.

Length is a number of words from 10 to 150. The target band around it is that number plus or minus a sixth, and never narrower than five words either side. Paragraphs run from 1 to 20 at a time, and the scene changes from one paragraph to the next.

Accuracy. Paragraphs are assembled from scene templates written for this page, with one subject and one set of names carried through so the pronouns stay consistent. The word count printed is a count of the paragraph you actually got, not of the one you asked for. Nothing here is a fact about anything, and the same genre, length and seed always give the same paragraph.

Common questions

Where does the writing come from? Is any of it scraped?
It is written in this repository. There are 15 scenes across five genres, 225 authored lines in total, and every sentence you see is one of those lines with its blanks filled from that scene's own word bank and from a list of 24 names. No text is fetched from anywhere, and no language model is involved: the page does the same assembly in your browser every time, which is why one seed always gives one paragraph.
Can I get the same paragraph again?
Yes. The seed shown above the box decides the whole thing. Put the same genre, length and seed back in, on this machine or any other, and the same paragraph comes back word for word. Generate picks a fresh four digit seed when you want a different one, and you can type a seed of your own instead. The seed is read as text, so 0012 and 12 are two different seeds, while spaces around it and the letter case are ignored.
Why is the word count not exactly the number I asked for?
Because sentences are whole. The length you type is opened by a sixth either way, never less than five words, to make a target band: ask for 60 and the page aims at 50 to 70. Sentences are added until the paragraph is close to the number you asked for and none of them would push it past the top of the band. The count printed under the box is the count of the finished paragraph, not the number you asked for, so the two can differ by a few words.
What happens if I ask for a very short paragraph?
You get the nearest paragraph the scene can write, with a line saying how long that is and what the target was. A paragraph here is never fewer than three sentences, so no scene goes much under 30 words. Below about 40 words the page says so rather than cutting a sentence in half, and the length field still accepts anything from 10 to 150 words.
How is this different from a lorem ipsum generator?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin, which is the right tool when you want people to look at the layout and not read the words. This page writes English that holds together: one scene, one subject, consistent pronouns and a real word count you can set. It is also different from a random sentence generator, where each sentence stands alone. If you want unrelated practice sentences, use that page instead.
How many paragraphs can I make at once, and can I edit them?
One to 20 in a batch, and the scene changes with each one, so two paragraphs in a row are never the same scene. Asking for more paragraphs adds to the list instead of redrawing the earlier ones, and asking for more words keeps the same scene and the same subject while adding sentences to it. The box itself is editable: type in it, and the word count, the Copy button and the downloaded text file all follow what is in it.
Do the pronouns stay right, and is anything in the paragraphs true?
The pronouns stay right because they are data rather than spelling. Each name carries its own set, including the past form of the verb to be, so you get she was, he was or they were and never they was. Nothing in the text is a claim about the world: no line carries a figure, a date or a real place, and the people in it are invented for the page.
