I am lacking my usual lowercase snippet of song lyrics. Boo.

I would have 5500 words of Dresden Files fic to post right now.

But I can't think of a fucking title.

.... You have a GD of titles?

Dude, if you'd be willing to, hell yes. ♥

Yeah; titles tend to come later when I'm writing things. Plus, sometimes I'm listening to something and there's a lyric that would make an awesome title, but I don't know to what. And I read a lot of poetry, so I use that too. I really need to update that list, actually, with various lines from poems I've read recently. I hope there's something there that will work for you!

Usually titles are dead easy. This time, the summary was the easiest thing, which is weird. "Another way the Baron rose to power. Another way the wizard became a Knight."

Some of these are very awesome. Are there any that are off limits or something? I hate to take one you need.


I am so deliriously in love with my life right now. Actually knowing someone who has a GD of titles, it's like... the most Crazy Prepared thing I've ever heard.

I hate summaries. I usually just use a line from the story.

I think the only ones that I've actually attached to a story at the moment are "The Year After The Year of Living Dangerously" and "Cold Wind City."

I tend to be Crazy Prepared for things like this because I make lists obsessively.

I KNOW RIGHT? Summaries are haaaaaard. Mine all universally suck. I need to jump on the "use a line from the story" bandwagon, those seem to work well.

Duly noted. I'm leaning towards "other things the road to hell is paved with," "make a deal with the city," and a few others.

I'm glad the list was useful! Man, I forgot some of the things on here. I want to know the stories that go with them. XD
