Hah!

Oh, this is totally awesome. It reminds me of telophase's Cool Things story generator. The funny thing is, I could totally use it to write a story. On a leather-clad terraformed Mars, a flying message courier stumbles across a talking fish, which spurs him into conflict with murderous robots, with the help of a tomboyish female mechanic and her closet

It's actually The Astrophages. I didn't see the "s" at first either. But it is really only there to complete the "(o)poli."

Oh, David Malki !

In a neo-noir Victorian Britain, a young collector of oddities stumbles across a dream-inducing drug, which spurs him into conflict with a charismatic politician on the rise with the help of a sarcastic female techno-geek and her welding gear, culminating in a false victory with the promise of future danger. My title is: The Steamblades

I would totally read that.

Indeed. I would totally read that, too. Although I think I would swap the protagonist and GF roles around, so the sarcastic female techno-geek gets to stumble across the drug.

Abso-friggin-lutely. But that - naturally - wasn't an option in this particular story-o-matic. Le sigh.

It looks like it's hard-coded to make the protagonist male and the sidekick female. (There can be no variation on the "which spurs him into conflict" part, after all.) That... makes it a bit less cool, I think.

Someone should write a version where the gender is not hard-coded! (Or where it's hard-coded the other way. *g*)
