I haven't done this before, but I'm excited to try!
Here's my rough plan: Mine a corpus of existing books for useful words. Names, MacGuffins, special powers, and so on. Maybe consult Wikipedia or TvTropes for more digestible content? Use Blake Snyder's beat sheet to create a "fill in the blanks" sort of plot outline. "$HERO faces $VILLAIN and wins because he has $TRAIT" Fill in the blanks with my stock of words like it's a game of Mad Libs. Turn these scenes into actual descriptions... somehow.
Hopefully, it'll produce something funny even if it doesn't make any sense.
