"For those who are unfamiliar, I’ll (attempt to) explain the game. You have ten different categories and you want to populate each of them with four different answers. Depending on your preference, you can do four good options or two good and two bad. The second makes the game a little more exciting because you are worried you’ll end up with a bad option.
In the classic game, you would be doing this with another person. They would tell you to close your eyes and draw a spiral. When they tell you to stop – you stop and count the number of lines in your spiral. Essentially, if you drew a line through the center of the spiral, how many times would it intersect? That is your magic number.
If you’re by yourself, you can always just pick a number and use that as your magic number.
Starting at M.A.S.H. count each option until you reach the magic number then cross it off. For example, if your magic number was 3 you would count 1 – M, 2 – A, and 3 – S. Then you would cross off S. H would become your new 1. You continue this through each category, crossing off as you go until there is one option left for each category.
What you have left is your YA story! If what I wrote made no sense to you, sorry – you can always go to this website which explains how to play with some pictures."

The Newest Sci-Fi Adventure! Steel-Forged Stars
Monica is a blacksmith in the walled society of Mexus, the second oldest planet city created after Earth overheated and exploded hundreds of years ago. With her best friend Gimli, they work and live together in an abandoned mansion left behind by the founding families who have moved on to the newest city development with Monica's pet Weasel, Cougar.
Life on Mexus seemed to be doing great, until secret dealings by The One Who Is The One, the current elected leader of the solar system, brought new problems and troubles to what was once a quiet and low maintenance city. Edythe, who was sent to Mexus by the supposed long-lost sibling of Monica, there is not stopping the three from traveling by portals to the Solar Center to stop The One.
With no powers besides her smith skills and her brains, will Monica be able to save the world she knew? Or could the whole solar system fall apart? Find out in Steel-Forged Stars by Monica Laurette.
What did your YA M.A.S.H. turn out to be? Let me know in the comments (this is me tagging you to do the Bookish M.A.S.H.)! And this is actually a decent story idea that I might keep it and just change some of the names, maybe add another trope and twist while I'm at it too!
