Story Elements is a floating database of characters, objects, themes and places that anyone can contribute to, and anyone can use in an essay, short story, novel - whatever. Contributors give anyone else the right to use their creations. If you do find this useful, and use something from the database, we'd love to know. (Don't worry, it's completely free. Even if you create a bestseller. Although, if you do become successful, send us a copy, yeah?)

Idea of the moment:

A girl, 12 at least, red curls falling down to her stoumach. Standing on a street corner. Clothes tattered [person]
