The Art of Choosing a Title

(post title totally swiped from the MeFi thread)

Because I've had recent interesting discussions on the matter, here's an article about how to choose a title for your story/novel/series. Even if you don't agree with the rules, it makes for good fodder for the brain. I tend to go for the opaque, myself...maybe that's another one of my problems, LOL.

I hate titling my fics. Either I can't come up with anything, or I can't come up with anything that actually fits the story. It's a ridiculous cycle.

And you've started working on a serial...man oh man, I feel your pain!!

I tend to try to think of some theme for my serial chapter titles so I don't have to go around the universe and back every time I'm ready to post up the next installment.

Yeah, adding a serial to the mix was not the most brilliant decision I've ever made...
