okay hi I made a new thing and I'm pleased to announce it: https://blackout.tilde.town . It's a tool for making blackout poetry using nine million chunks of text extracted from project gutenberg.
It's both an authoring tool and an exploration tool.
It doesn't really work on phones yet is the one thing. I'll work on that next week ^_^()
I wrote a blog post about it: https://tilde.town/~vilmibm/blog/#blackout
if you make stuff with it lmk <3
@vilmibm What tremendous fun!
My best shot, using what appears to be extracted from some sort of prison budget debate...
My humble suggestion for punctuation and typesetting is in the alt-text.
@[email protected] I'm feeling that a killer feature would be the ability to share my assigned text (i.e. the "instance" or whatever) to let other people have a go at the same one.
See attached the text I got. This is, to say the least, not the stuff of poetry... but it is definitely the stuff to set up a challenge
@vilmibm Good luck! Here, to help you, an obscurist recipe, which, in my head, is incanted by three shakespearean witches.
(It would be so great to be able to reveal the original along with these... Again: Great job! This is fun!)
