A few ways to play with Gibberizer
Ways to Play with Gibberizer
Creating Names
Enter 20 or more names into Gibberizer. Try:
First names from baby names web sites.
Last names from US Census Bureau listings.
The names of all of the US Presidents.
Names from Lord of the Rings.
Names from your family and friends. I've created lots of good names for fantasy characters by Gibberizing 300 names from my genealogy.
Set Gibberizer to read your text as Words or Lines.
Set familiarity to 3 or 4. A familiarity of 3 or 4 is good for playing with words or names.
Set Gibberizer to insert a New Line after each gib.
Maybe set Gibberizer to generate 1000 unique gibs. This forces Gibberizer to work a little harder, which can cause it to create longer names.
Gibberize a whole bunch of times.
Fiddle with the knobs and Gibberize some more.
Hysterical Documents
Enter the text of a historical document into Gibberizer. Try one of these (or any other that tickles your fancy):
The Gettysburg Address.
The Bill of Rights.
The Gibberizer User Guide.
Set Gibberizer to read the text as Lines or One String.
Set familarity to 6 or higher. A familiarity of 8 is often good.
A familiarity of 6 or higher is good for fiddling with not just words but whole phrases.
A familiarity of 8 or 10 makes The Gettysburg Address sound like Honest Abe on smack.
You may want to set Gibberizer to insert a blank line between gibs.
Gibberize a whole bunch of times.
Fiddle with the knobs and Gibberize some more.
Your Own Writing
Enter a scene or section or chapter from your own writing.
Follow the directions for Hysterical Documents (above).
Gibberize a whole bunch of times.
Fiddle with the knobs and Gibberize some more.
