There can never be too many prompts xD Or maybe there can, but oh well!

Dystopian is up first!
An alien invasion has destroyed the world as we know it.

The year is 2099. Ireland is a grim place ruled by right wing extremists. Once glorious, the Grand Canyon is now under water.

Thoughtful doctor, Prof Roy Grey is humanity's only hope. Roy finds the courage to start a secret revolutionary organization called The Pink Elephants.

The fight is jeopardised when Roy is tricked by scheming doctor, Ms Alison Blacksmith, and injures his upper lip.

Armed with swords and flippers, The Pink Elephants try their best to save mankind, but can they defeat predatory right wing extremists and restore the Grand Canyon to its former glory?

And now your Drama!
PROTAGONIST ( ... )

Can I just get two random prompts? I'm open to any genre.

Of course!

First up will be fairytales, since no one has done that yet:

The story is about an arrogant princess who must find a magic mirror, defeat a tyrant, and evade an unwanted lover to save a prince. Things are complicated by the main villain trying to kill the main character. Assistance comes in the form of a magic horse.

And then we'll go for Drama:

PROTAGONIST
A publicist, who wishes that the end will come soon.

SECONDARY CHARACTER
A billionaire, who was a chess master.

PLOT
It's an anthology story about corruption. It kicks off in a hospital in Burkina Faso with someone who's late to a funeral for someone close.

(Note that: someone in the story has amnesia.)
