I was wondering how the generator would attempt to customize the story to different characters, before I realized that it didn't have to - because it is emulating something where people tend to act out-of-character, it doesn't care if each 'hero' is the same apart from their names.
I found a website which generates badfics. I think this could be of use to the PPC.

This... this is too perfect. {X D

"John, I have been watching you while you did some pop culture referances. Your skilled. VERY skilled."
"Oh, yes, John is great at it" said AERYN.
"INDEED. maybe the greatest. Look at Johns body. His torso! His elbow! His nose! Its like he is built for pop culture referances! Every aspect of his perfect physique built for that one divine purpose. "
"I am thus going to officially invite John to the pop culture referances championship!" continued the talent scout.
"We are going to the championship!?" said Aeryn
"Yes, the ticket has a +1. And you both go straight to the final!"
"Awesome!"
"But you will be fighting against someone else that made it to the final...someone you know well....Scorpius!"
"Then its settled" said John. "We go. We cant let Scorpius win at anything. Even pop culture referances."

It's funny because it's true! No one in the Uncharted Territories beats John Crichton at pop culture references! {X D Whole thing here, I think.

I can't select text, can't scroll smoothly without some poorly-coded Javascript causing it to lag, and to be quite honest it's practically unusable without opening the page in Reader View. Anyways, I'm pretty impressed by the fic generation capabilities of it.
It's actually been brought to the Board before; I don't remember exactly when, or who found it, but it was a number of years ago and we had a lot of fun with it. I might even have some of the results still saved somewhere, though by now I couldn't tell you which they were or why I wanted them saved.
I think they've upgraded the settings, though--it feels like there are more options. Certainly I don't remember the presets...
(And of course I tried it this time too. And *of course* the results of keying in Jacques & Co (with pairings set to 'any') gave me the villain (and more or less Ra's al Ghul) Mary Sue sending him to assassinate President Luxury, only to completely fail at that, be told there was some sort of prophecy, and finally marry Luxury after having some sort of intense relationship with *himself*. And the whole thing was titled 'Revenge of the CAD'.
It was pretty wild.)

Except one time it randomly gender-bent Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader? Ah, well, so do badfic authors.
-Twistey
I set it to Tracer x random and it's at least somewhat funny every time. (I'm sorry, Tracer.)
-Twistey
(With some of the grammatical errors having to do with the generator's handling of Youfics fixed. Anything within brackets is my notes on the quotes.)
"You were pretty drunk that day. You had already punched a bunch of people. Twistey a few times. Because She is stupid."
"CANON VILLAIN WAS DRESSed as SHADOW.
SHADOW WAS DRESSed as ARAVAE.
ARAVAE WAS DRESSed as You.
You were dressed as Twizzlin.
And Twistey was dressed as a cheesescraper."
"You grabbed your musket, your slingshot and your wand with M6 like ammo loaded. And of course, your trusty rocket launcher."
"My name is you."
"Shadow, take my sword! you said, and give it to the greatness before us. She will need our legendary sword in order to defeat the great uber-Twistey
And lo! Shadow did so and the maginificent great mysterious woman took the sword and stabbed Twistey." (O no!)
"Then our gang knew what to do. They had to infiltrate Twistey's forbodding dungeons but in order to do so, they had to wear a disguise.
Shadow thought long and hard about the best disguise. They couldn't be too obvious or threatening because then Twistey's guards could catch them. But they couldn't look too mundane because then Twistey's guards would never let them in.
No... they had to be clever.
So Shadow came up with the best idea she had: they would dress up in gothic clothes!"
"And she also had a corset made from unicorns gut that looked so awesome on her." (What? O.O)
-Twistey/Twizzlin the CHEESESCRAPER!

Harry Potter:
"Who are you guys anyway?"
"Yo, yo, yo I am Snape" said Snape, pretending to be cool.
"Yo, yo, yo I am Voldemort" said Voldemort, who was actually really cool!
