Last second submission, sorry I couldn't do this sooner this time.
Inspired by the Oulipo N+7.

We use an MLM (Bert cased) to substitute every single token of a text by the Nth prediction of the MLM.
We do this line by line, token by token, except for the last word of the line (to keep the rhyming scheme).

We start on N=2 and go up until reaching the desired total words.

I chose to rewrite 'The Raven' by Poe over and over with this method.

It's a bit fascinating to see what happens as you go to higher and higher N.
With more time a more serious method for this could be developed to ensure proper grammar and etc but the random chaotic nature of this one is fun on its own.

Full code and text are here: https://github.com/HylisWilk/oulipo_mlm/tree/main

Start of N+15 variant:

#############N=15#############

MUSIC RAVEN


sound to sound from sleep, where men die, dressed - weary
The Great a comprehensive to famous guides into Burmese lore
So again sitting, - so, Then ... so he tapping
Those that this began got knocked over and their door
"'o our room," ' em, "Lived halled door
I ' is ' more."

I just realized the GMT timezone requirement. Where I am it was still November when I made the submission, but I'm totally ok with whatever is decided. It's always fun to participate in NaNoGenMo.

It's fine, have a completed label but next year the NaNoGenMo Deadlines Sub-Sub-Subcommittee (Timezones) might not be so forgiving :)

Nice entry, I like the "MUSIC RAVEN" title of the sample.
