I stumbled across this story generator. You chose the actions for a story as outlined by Vladamir Propp in his book 'Morphology of the Folk Tale' and it generates a story. Great idea.

Maus
I stumbled upon an essay about this book/series when I was researching for my written thesis. I bought the book and it is amazing. It's a graphic novel detailing the life of Art Spiegelman's father (Vladek) as a Jew in Poland during ww2. What is so engaging about this story is not only Vladek's experience, but the relationship that is detailed throughout the book between Art and his farther. I know this is yet another inspiration... I'll nail own my project plan and post it soon.

My Early Muir Owl
I was reminded of this when talking to someone about elaborate formats. It was a marriage proposal made from type; arranged in a way that it would only be seen from one perspective.
You'll have to excuse the way this is documented - it's a bit daggy.
