Create a Title for the novel above you.

Magician Girl Mirani — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:23:09 +0100

I know that a lot of us are having trouble coming up with ideas for titles for our novels. It's one of the hardest parts of writing and a lot of the time naming a novel is best done at the end but it never hurts to get an idea before you start, does it? Alright, basically the idea is to come up with a title based on the synopsis of the novel for the person just above you. Just the first thing that comes to mind and that you think fits. An explanation for the choice might also be good as it could help give the author an idea where to look for a title even if they don't use yours.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

starrdust16 — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:36:02 +0100

Based on your synopisis, I like "Beyond the Veil." Or, depending on your ending..."Revelation" "

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Amaya — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:38:06 +0100

Return of the Dragon Synkrox I know mine has a title but I'm not very happy with it. FYI the object of power is a chain made of interlocking gemstone links.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Amaya — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:40:32 +0100

Sorry. um for yours, Stolen Royalty hmm, yours is hard.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Magician Girl Mirani — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:44:03 +0100

I agree with Amaya. Yours is quite tricky but since you've got two groups that come together to face a common enemy...what about... Crossed Paths Twining Strands

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:50:22 +0100

I don't have my synopsis up yet, so don't worry about helping me out just yet! :) Some ideas.. Intertwined (because of them coming together) Back to You (the best friend's trying to find the prince, and maybe it could be symbolic for the prince and princess finding each other) One for All / And One for All (since they're all working together to get to him) Yours is really difficult.. I hope something helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

The Wanderer — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:31:41 +0100

I'd call it the Chain of Power Sequence.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:36:28 +0100

Immediately I thought.. Executed I think it's representative of both the fact that he's set to die, as well as the fact that someone executed a plan to stop it. Or maybe Execution instead.. but I love Executed for it!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

The Wanderer — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:38:49 +0100

(DO NOT CREATE A TITLE FOR THIS POST) Refer to Momoka's instead. Thank you. Momoka: Thank you. Several people suggested something to do with furs, but this sits just right.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

celebel — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:07:09 +0100

Let's see... The obvious one for yours would be "Choices". But I also thought that something along the lines of "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" (or, a line from a song I like, "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea") might be more intriguing, though less obviously related to the plot. And to whoever's coming up with a title for mine, please ignore my extremely tentative existing title. I really hate it, but it's the only thing that I could think of when I was filling out the novel info section. Thanks! :D

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 23:13:12 +0100

I love the idea of maybe trying to use a song lyric for it! Your is a bit harder! Good Samaritans (because of the fact that being good citizens got them into trouble in the first place) Blindsided (they didn't see it coming, since it seemed so normal)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

thorninhersides — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:07:37 +0100

I reallylike your idea :) It is a tough one, I think since she is pro-life it should be along the lines of the Pro, Con list stuff you know? "Con-decision" (it is pro-life but backwards) Or maybe like "Split decision" I hope this helped :) (For mine pay no attention to the title I put down XD I am not a fan of it)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Mythos — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:13:57 +0100

@thorninhersides I need to know more about your novel before I can come up with a title. What is your MC's name? Is she considering suicide, or does she just watch others go through it? Why does the school have a suicide trend?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Drillbit_the_knitter — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:17:03 +0100

Your novel sounds like something I would read and actually like! I think it could be called "soulshakers," because that seems to be the main part of the novel. :)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

thorninhersides — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:19:27 +0100

@Myhtos Her Name is Ross, She is throught the whole book and she does watch what other people do because she is deciding. The school has it be a "trend" because the most popular girl commited suicide, and her suicide note was "inspiring" as the teachers said, and then because of that her friends did and then it was like a chain reaction of teenagers wondering what life really was and making the decision to die.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Mythos — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:22:22 +0100

Hm, let's see. Here's a list: Through Ross's Eyes Suicide and Popularity Dead and Proud I hope they at least sparked a few ideas.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:24:52 +0100

@thorninhersides, I love your synopsis! It's to the point and attention grabbing, and I'd definitely read it! Ultimate / The Ultimate (life or death is the ultimate decision) To Be or Not to Be (an allusion to Hamlet, sure, but it's the question of the novel) Trend or Death (a play on cake or death) Hope that helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Roka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:33:08 +0100

Well, since Mythos got a title and Mamoka gave one, I'll just ask for one for me (: Gonna probably stick with The Core but I want to see what people think!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Mythos — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:33:34 +0100

@Drillbit_the_knitter How do these sound: Romeo Bright - It seems like the novel is about her more than anyone else. Swords Save Worlds. Not Words. - I like those two sentences. They'd sure grab attention. @Momoka Life Choices - She is making a choice about a life. To Be or Not to Be - Sure I stole the idea from you, but it could work.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:34:43 +0100

Oh also, Follow the Leader came to mind.. it's a kid game since she's so young, and it's the idea of everyone going along with something just because someone else did.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

heathershizzle — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:35:10 +0100

@thorninhersides, Have you seen the movie "Heathers?" watch it, it's awesome (and has very little to do with your novel, except that there's a bunch of staged suicides involving the popular kids and that makes suicide seem cool at the school in the movie) Statistic (since no matter how "trendy" or "inspiring" or whatever the suicide is, ultimately it just joins a percentage and a batch of statistics) that's all I got...

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

starrdust16 — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:36:28 +0100

@Drillbit Words of Steel, Ink Blood,

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:37:08 +0100

I like the The Core for you. It's where the dragons are, as well as saying he's getting to "the core"/the heart of what happened to his sister, so to speak. For another idea, maybe Amidst.. it means "in the middle of" which is where the core is, and it involves your title character's name.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

celebel — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 00:56:42 +0100

I always like song lyrics as a place to start thinking about things. "Pros and Cons" might also work for yours. "Good Samaritans" probably fits less because at least one of them is very wary of approaching the stranger (but gets pulled into it by his friends anyway), but "Blindsided" could work. I'll definitely ponder it and see if it sticks!

Curse Nano's lack of an edit button! that was directed at Stardust16. For Finn: Glamorous Lies City of (Falling) Angels Scandalous Diamonds and Blood These presume a possibly glitzier atmosphere than you're going for. (As a resident of Greater Los Angeles, who grew up near Hollywood, it's pretty gritty and unattractive in the area, but I wanted to pick titles that fit better with the stereotypes of Los Angeles that people who have never been here hold.)

minstrelwarlock — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:06:17 +0100

Sorry about how trite these probably seem. I didn't get a whole lot of "vibe" off of the story besides "zombies!" The End of All Things (blatant ripoff, obviously, but I actually think this would work really well) Blood and Brains Judgement Day Survival of the Fittest Bloody Mouths

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

B_ethany13H — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:14:30 +0100

@minstrelwarlock: How about Creatures Rising, or Beasts Rising, or Rise of The Monsters, or Return of the Monsters (lol, this sounds like a bad Goosebumps title), or A Village's A Village No Matter How Small :p

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:14:38 +0100

I like your excerpt! Some ideas.. When You Believe (for believing in the monster and beasts and how essential it is to pushing the novel forward) Last Hope / Last Chance (knowing that they need the beasts to help them and it's the last chance they have) Lurk / Lurker / Lurking (for the monster lurking in the village) Hope that helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Searcher — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:29:21 +0100

@B_ethany13H: The Singing Mermaid. Or The War of Land and Sea. FYI: I have a title, but I'm not thrilled, so whoever's next, don't be shy!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:37:39 +0100

Your synopsis says Eternity's husband and wife.. does she have one of each? Or is it Eternity's husband and Tobias' wife? I'm kind on confused. In Your Darkest Hour (his grieving leaves him alone and they're helping him through his darkest hour) When I See Your Face (having his twin back is life-changing for him) Hope that helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Searcher — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:47:44 +0100

His twin has a husband AND wife. I might need to make that clearer. Thanks! I like the title suggestions

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Chillibean — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 04:48:27 +0100

Momoka, well, this is kind of hard... xD Considering I don't know much about your story... I'm not particularly good at this >.< Give or Take (referring to life. Giving life as in giving birth, taking life as in aborting/killing) I'm sorry I can't come up with anything better! I already have a title, so feel free to look at Momoka's, since I fail at title-giving... (Of course, giving me more title suggestions is fine too.)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:05:59 +0100

I added some background info into my synopsis area! I do like your idea. I think Give & Take might be an interesting title instead. Or.. Give And/Or Take.. the idea of giving and taking the abuse, the abortion, the acceptance.. I think it could be a good working title!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Oracle Speaking — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:26:23 +0100

What comes to mind for me when I read your synopsis, Momoka, is how torn apart your MC is by all these decisions she has to make (or not make, as the case may be). My suggestion is 'Miracle at the Crossroads'...though I dunno how good it is. At least it implies that there may be a happy ending?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Mae 13 — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:30:49 +0100

I am in desperate need of a title, mainly because I am terrible at coming up with titles, so this should be interesting! Momoka, I read through your synopsis, and, firstly, I just wanted to say I really like it! I also love the name Give & Take for it, not only as a reference to life, but also the fact that she takes whatever her boyfriend gives her. Other than that, I would suggest: [The] Final Choice/[The] Forever Choice Out of Sight, But Not Out of Mind

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:47:21 +0100

Thank you both! @OracleSpeaking - I love your story! The Fates are some of my favorites in mythology, but I like what you're doing with personified Fate here. Some ideas: Clarity (even though he knows what'll happen.. being fate and all.. his eyes are finally opened toward the end to what's so wonderful about his job) Any Hero (he feels like the heroes are just anybody.. just anyone.. just any hero.. until that one) Revelation (same as clarity) What a Tangled Web We Weave (based on the idea that fate weaves each person's destiny) @Mae 13 - What happens to the brothers? The brother asks her to save them and protect them, but you never mention them again. If that stays a main point of the novel, I think the mom's words of Keep Your Brothers Safe would be a really significant and awesome title. Otherwise.. Take My Death Away (I was thinking of "take my breath away," but I think this is an interesting spin on it for you) Multidimensional (too literal? It kind of also shows that there are many levels to the story in addition to many literal dimensions being part of it) Those Three Words ("It's a girl" seems to be significant, so.. that's where this came from) Hope that helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

ahighcalling — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:14:10 +0100

Please ignore the title I have because I'm horrible at them! Hence the reason I'm here. Momoka: What a heart wrenching story. The first title that came to mind (keeping in mind my above statement) is Impossible Choices. Hope that helps! Tiffany

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Chillibean — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:31:41 +0100

I'm glad you like it :) I get the feeling it's missing something... perhaps To Give And/Or Take? @_@ I hope you come up with a title soon :)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Metrokitty — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 08:55:40 +0100

AhighCalling: I love the idea of being able to play with Fairy Tales :D Fractured Wings or Fractured Fairies These both play off the idea of fractured or "broken" fairy tales, an example of a fractured fairytale is the movie "Hoodwinked" First Laugh Amazingly the characters name works extremely well here. It can have multiple meanings. Those are my two, if you aren't a fan of either feel free to just call me an idiot in front of everyone. Oh well, I tried. Also, I know I have a title posted, but honestly I need a better one. Thanks in advance for the help!

PingXgeertje — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:21:49 +0100

@ Momoka, Your novel seems like an interesting idea, something I would love to read. Knowing myself (=being very bad at making up titles) I think you won't be really charmed with the title I thought up, but it doesn't stop me from sharing it, though. -cobwebs. Why? Since your characters struggle with their emotions, morals and those of everyone else around them. Slowly they get tangled in their own ideas and believes of what should be done, and every attempt only seems to make it worse. You could also pick 'tangled', but I wouldn't advise that since Disney already has a film about that one ;P

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

person_person — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:43:45 +0100

Ummm... I'm a little uncertain if PingXgeertje's post was all geared to Momoka, so hopefully nobody will mind suggestions for both PingXgeertje's and Metrokitty's novels: Metrokitty: (The title should deal with both the conman angle and the vampires. It sounds like a fun romp of blood and terror, so I'd like my suggestion to reflect that. Perhaps something that implies a confidence trick?) The Three Ghoul Grift; The Transylvanian Prince Con; or Blood, Suckers, & Bloodsuckers, if you want to get a bit sillier. PingXgeerje: (With a more serious summary, I'll assume the tone of the story follows. I'm used to reading more symbolic titles for these types of tales. Sunset hints at both the age of your MC and gives the image of a long, far reaching darkness when mixed with the shadows, and that leads to my title suggestion. Recurring themes or imagery in the story may change its effectiveness, though.) Shadows at Sunset.

MMC is Father of Kindergarten aged girl. He works at a company making small transmitters that use GPS and radio to allow a tracking unit to find them within a 2-3 mile area. It is usable for tracking wandering old people or at risk children. After some event scares him, he brings home a test unit and give his daughter a "cool trinket" to wear. Due to confusion, he goes to pick up his child at school, but the child is gone. He assumes kidnapped and searches for her. The tracker points to a house. He asks for his kid and the owner of the home fights with him. MMC kills the guy in the struggle for his daughter. He receives a call from his wife who asks when he is getting home. He finds out that someone his wife sent had picked up the child and she is safe. When he gets to the back room, there is a dog with a tracking collar made by his company. (Turns out the ID in the test collar was not unique as public released tags.) MMC was undiscovered and covers up the murder as best as possible. There are certain clues that he leaves which will come into play during the investigation. He also takes the blunt found object he bludgeoned the man to death with. FMC is the Wife and Mother and Homicide Detective. When the man is discovered, she and her partner pull the case of her husband's homicide. With the changing demeanor of her husband, she gradually puts the pieces together. She goes from an honest, ethical cop to trying to make sure the father of her child doesn't go to prison. Their child is taken and the wife finds and shoots the pedophile in cold blood. I'm going to let the characters take me to the twist, but either the husband has kept enough evidence to frame this man as the one who killed his victim, or he takes the rap for this crime to save his wife and as penance for his previous murder. Or something else will come into mind to wrap it up. I originally wrote the opening as a short film and used KidTrak as the title. Now KidTrak is an actual real world company name and doesn't make a good title for a novel version anyway. However it is my working title, until the brilliant hive mind comes up with something better. :)

You could do a turn of "Romeo and Juliet" with "MMC and FMC". Sounds like a great story idea. I'm trying and failing to turn a phrase on class warfare or something similar. It seems very similar to Time Machine in character classes, but with the Eloi and Morlocks with reversed living levels.

I like your reasoning behind that.. I think I might be able to think further on it.. thanks so much for that and the compliments!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Momoka — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:32:52 +0100

I love your story! Is the pedophile that takes the child somehow related back to the person the guy murdered? And even if there's enough evidence to frame this guy as the one that killed the first guy, that doesn't explain who murdered the second man.. which could be dangerous. Good luck with this story, it's a good premise! Ideas: Whatever It Takes (they do whatever they need to to make sure their child is safe) Identify / (Mis)Identify (he misidentified the dog as the child, and now no one is identified as the killer for either killing as the story unfolds) Hope that helps!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

sacherjj — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:42:58 +0100

I'm not sure how I will end it all up. I'm thinking that the Dad keeps the object that hit the guy with, so it will have dried blood evidence. This makes it easy to have it in with his "trophies" of child things. This guy is what causes the event in the beginning that triggers the dad to get the KidTrak system. Then ironically, the possibility of being caught is why he takes it back to work, when it could later actually be used to save his daughter. Seem like many fun ways this can go. I think it would be enough for the original victim to have a young niece who has been part of his surveillance and has pictures of them.

When reading through your summary, I was thinking that the guy sounded like a hood and thought of Mother Hood. But that didn't seem to work real well. Might work as Father Hood. Hmm... Baby Smother. Nah, thinking a play on Babys Mother with the oppression the decision is having on her. Not sure any of that helps. You could make her finally decide to keep the baby, but lose it due to abuse by the boyfriend. This would make it all the more heart wrenching, as she finally saw it as hers before it was taken from her. It becomes the final straw to leave him for good.

Elliot in the Rain — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:27:38 +0100

Two MMCs are Nøkken, mythological sea creatures that appear half human, half cephalopod. They are brothers, princes of the Sea of Käll'o. Older brother (Pawn) is the crown prince, younger brother (Pell) is irrelevant to the throne. Before Pawn's coronation, he must spend a year on land to prove that he's capable of maintaining a healthy relationship with the humans so that war doesn't break out between the sea kingdom and the human village. Pell and Pawn grew up very close, but due to a land-related illness that struck Pawn when they were children, Pell is afraid and angry at humans, while Pawn finds them fascinating and would much prefer to live freely on land than rule over their local sea. Pell loves their kingdom and would love to become king, but due to tradition, he can't. Thus, when Pawn arrives on land he creates a plan to make a magical bond with a human that will require him to stay on land and negate his inheritance of the throne. However, Pell is determined to prevent him from escaping his obligation to his people and the crown. Pell is embittered by Pawn's attitudes towards the kingdom and their people. His own loyalty to their race and his desire for Pawn to take his roll seriously motivates him to interfere with Pawn's plan as often as possible. Pawn's closest neighbour on land, a young baking apprentice named Nathaniel, soon becomes the target for the magical seal, but Nathaniel is entirely unaware that Pawn is not human. The plot revolves around Pawn trying to obtain this magical bond and Pell's attempt to usurp his plan, as well as the two of them trying to overcome their differences. I'd like the title to include a reference to both brothers and be relevant to the sea. It could be fairy-tale like or song related, I'm willing to hear any kind of suggestions.

Point taken. I've thought about having her keep it, and then having it taken away from her in some way, that being one of them.. but I'm nervous that then he's COMPLETELY not redeemable and I'm hoping he can be. I think I'll just the characters let me know as I go, kind of thing. Thanks for the ideas!

That is interesting. Made me immediately think of the double meaning from Family Matters. I'm also considering a turn of phrase from wedding vows. "Forsaking all others" "Til death do us part." Not sure if that will go anywhere.

Magician Girl Mirani — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:49:37 +0100

@ sacherjj Okay here's a couple titles I think might be good for a title for your novel. Seeking (redemption, the right answer, the daughter...it could fit a lot of things in your novel, a little cheesy I know) Turn Back the Clock (because I bet that's what a lot of the characters want to do, turn back the clock so that the man wasn't murdered and/or the daughter wasn't kidnapped so they wouldn't be in the situation in the first place) Undecided Twisting Choices

He wakes up in a mysterious fantasy land, where he meets others who killed themselves-- in particular Alina, who he falls in love with as he realizes that life might be worth living after all. Following this revelation, he finds himself drowning in a river, only to be rescued by Alina. (That's the easiest way to describe it, I guess.)

ahighcalling — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 05:56:43 +0100

@Metrokitty- Thanks for the suggestions. I'm leaning towards something like Fractured Wings. I also like the idea of First Laugh, but that it is the title of the first book which will be published soon. Turdleyurtle- My first thought was "Missing", because of the land being -well- missing. But then I read about Yori and the title "Yori's Choice" came in. But then I wasn't sure at the end if her choice was already obvious. So now.......well, now I'm stuck. :) Just thinking off the top of my head "Quest". I'm sorry that wasn't very helpful. I would love to hear what you do come up with! Tiffany

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Lonaneomaflame — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 07:06:53 +0100

Turdleyurtle- I would name you're story "The fifth land of Wuzhou" Because if it's a real place or not it is still basically the whole reason for the story. But I'm sure you thought of that and vetoed it. So I was thinking "Yori's Chance" I would love sugestions for a title too. I was thinking for mine was something like "With Empty Arms and Broken Heart" or "through Unending Sorrow"

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

midnightyen — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:05:41 +0100

Straight from your synopsis: Among the Stars I think it would be cool because firstly humanity is literally "among the stars" seeing as there are TRILLIONS if not more. Also, they were and are trying to combine humans and stars, so humans can also be "among the stars" because some of them will be part star. Eh?

I actually think Sanctum is a perfect title for your novel. It's both the name of the story's setting, and what your MC is looking for - a place of safety. On mine, I'm keeping this vague because there are some details I haven't plotted yet. I liked where your title idea came from, the idea of merging two different things, and the sound and connotation of it was right. So, after some tweaking... Synasteris.

I'm dong an interracial romance between a girl and a musician. He's in a K-Pop(Korean Pop) band, and she's African-American. She's a former med-student; she dropped out due to an incident with a patient (that wasn't hers by the way), and the K-Pop singer(and his group) are visiting the U.S. for promotion of a show they did. And the guy kind of wants to move on from the group and try solo stuff too, or at the very least, change the music the group is doing now and make it more "adult". I don't really want a Harlequin Romance novel like title, if I could have one. I just want a non-laughable title. I don't really have ideas for any either.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

JAndrew — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 06:38:15 +0100

So your whole novel pretty much revolves around him, his music and the band? Name the novel the title of the band. =) I don't know much about K-pop, but if you find a name that rocks, it should swing for the title too. My novel is about a woman named Aliza who recently moved to Seattle, and because she has no friends and can't remember her address, she's completely lost. She gets picked up by a group of men, mixed sexualities, who are also werewolves. The plot revolves around their various acts as wolves--a power which, by the way, comes from the acid the pack leader is slipping them. The central romance is a menage a trois. If this story has a moral, I suppose it would simply be: even if things are crazy, stay on your feet, stay one step ahead of Karma. I'm not sure what other details will help name it... But I could use some ideas.

Your mention of numbers suddenly gave me an idea. How about One Over Infinity? As in 1/∞ ? Since y'know, Mittens is one cat out of the now infinite amount of cats. Also, since 1/∞ = 0 (well close to zero, it's = an infinitesimal, but if I remember correctly it's so small that it's regarded as 0 in maths), this may give a hint at the beginning (when you read the title) that the amount of parallels will eventually whittle down to near 0.

Jackharkness: hope some of these help :) Turning Back the Clock Seize the Day Saving Miss Stone Killing Lillian A Time to Die Timings The Time is Now Time Will Tell Killing Time Time of her Life --- This is a slightly spoiler-filled synopsis, as these details really need to be known to decide upon a name. So, some of the details below are shared with the reader throughout the book, rather than at the beginning. (Fantasy – set in a fictional country that is similar to Medieval England) Set in a time where the monarchy has been assassinated, while their advisors have taken over and are corrupting the land. Only he with royal blood can take the throne away from the advisers – and as they believe they assassinated the whole bloodline they think they are safe. Over a hundred years later, the Three Sisters (the original Royal Seers) are coming to the end of their lives. They have been searching for an heir this whole time with no success. Before they die they decide to make one last attempt – if no heir is found, as a last resort they will bring about the apocalypse (of the Seven Seals, Four Horsemen variety) to cleanse the land. One of the princes was turned into a vampire by one of his guardsmen, and put into a deep slumber. When he awakes, a hundred years later he has no memory of who he is. A young Seer has visions of the Three Sisters and the apocalypse and sets out to stop it. She meets the vampire prince, and a talking crow along the way and they travel together, searching for an heir to the throne. Over their journey, the prince regains his memories, a sacrifice is made, the Seals are broken and the Horsemen arrive. The Pleiades also have an important role in the story – as my character is called Merope. I would appreciate any suggestions, and thank you in advance :)

@Drillbit_the_knitter Yours is really hard, because the plot for each of your characters is twisted all over the place, and I'm actually not even sure who the real princess is...? I'm gathering that you've taken a bunch of Shakespeare characters and thrown them into a science fantasy story together, but changed them all up (okay, so maybe you just took their names). So. Titles. Lost and Found The Mercanova Mystery What Light From Yonder Stars I would try picking a few lines from your favorite plays and tweaking them like I did that last one. It's the only scene that I can remember off the top of my head. That and "Smiling at Grief" which doesn't really fit.

@lycaenide "The Blood of a Kingdom" perhaps? Or "For the Blood of a Kingdom"? The synopsis of mine: ((Set in a parallell time, England)) A young girl called Saian breaks into the MI6 HQ. She's recruited because of her ridiculous powers. She takes a series of lovers who are all subsequently tortured and beaten, with a symbol seared onto their hearts. Long story short she's the protege of a group known as The Slayers, a government backed assassin ring. Her mentor has been killing the men off because he sees her as his property. Their motto is "The calling to the Slayers is in the blood" and is the last line of the novel proper... Rather sketchy, but help would be apprectiated~

I was about to suggest something, but it looks like you all got it covered. Those are some amazing titles!! I'd love help getting my novel named, though. It's about a girl who, for reason as of yet undecided, ends up in this sort of bizarre world populated with crazy looking creatures and monsters, where every individual is freakishly weird looking and only resemble humans in the very vaguest ways, if they do at all. Her, being a regular girl, is an obvious outsider. She meets a sort of traveling minstrel guy, who tells her he can get her back home. The whole world is very surreal, almost circus-y. Think Abarat meets the movie MirrorMask. The main villain steals souls for nefarious purposes I'm still a little fuzzy on, and wants the girl for likewise undiscovered reasons. Lots of monsters, a pseudo-wolf bounty hunter, a Council of leaders who want her out of the way, slave uprisings, etc etc. The story is a lot more about the journey and the characters met on the way than defeating the bad guy or attaining some sort of goal. Any suggestions would be appreciated! :)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

FlameRaven — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:41:16 +0100

So I threw together a working title for this ("Short Circuit") but I'm not terribly pleased by it. Open to suggestions for something else. Here's the synopsis: Veri Fields was a normal college student. Then she found herself waking up in a hospital completely uninjured after being found at the center of an explosion that destroyed half a building. She can't remember anything that happened in the twelve hours between leaving class and the time of the accident. With no alibi, she comes under investigation as the source of the damage, until an unexpected ally intervenes on her behalf. It seems a lucrative R&D company is more than willing to pay the damages to the school, and the school will drop the charges against her, as long as she agrees to come study at their prestigious Academy of Extraordinary Arts and Sciences. With few other options, Veri takes the deal, but soon finds that the Academy has much more interesting motivations than her education. Pertinent information that I haven't worked into the synopsis: Veri is a technopath (mental/psychic connection and control over electronics) and gains super-healing via nanobots. The Academy houses a few other people with powers, and the goal of the company is to train them to be elite covert-ops/saboteurs. Anyway, suggestions for other titles would be great. :)

Beth's life is turned upside down after her father was murdered, and now she's returned to her home town to help her family heal and get her life back together. Former town bad boy, Hudson, wants to win her respect, and maybe her love, but it won't be easy.

@Princessthyemis--how about "Ink-Stained Fingertips"? Or maybe "Origami Words" (since it would be like the words making shapes). My novel is a sort of dystopia in the future. The United States has crumbled from the inside due to disgruntled citizens. The story centers around a city that has been split into three parts, two controlled by rival gangs and the third by the remaining law enforcement. There's four main characters, one in each part of the city and a mercenary that ghosts in and out. They are Veronica Harlowe, a hacker, Tory DeLune, a journalist, Gracie Moon, a surgical intern, and Riley Bennett, a sniper. Veronica is simply going along in her life, anonymous in a sea of oppressed people aside from the occasional hacking scheme. Tory is trying to jump-start her career and get around her jackass boss. Gracie is trying to sever her ties with the gang and make a new life. Riley is a sniper, recently brought in from another city. Every night he sees the same woman through his scope and begins to form an obsession. When a simple hacking scheme escalates, all the characters are pulled into a plot that may change the city as they know it.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Tamryn Eradani — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:07:06 +0100

@Meiveva Sirenice First, your story sounds really cool. The decay of the United States, of humanity, these four separate people struggling to live their lives that are somehow going to be connected, and forced to share the burden of improving life. It sounds like a great premise and I hope you have a wonderful time writing it. My first thought for a title was: Divided we Fall since the United States has actually fallen apart and the city is even divided into three. And, who knows, if you absolutely love this plot you might even have a sequel where everything is being rebuilt and restored and you can call it United we Stand. I'm not sure if that's too patriotic or American for you, but there it is.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Albino Monkey — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:04:53 +0100

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Transcendent — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 17:15:14 +0100

Here's mine. Here's hoping I'll get a good title. The setting is a steampunk mix of Roaring 20s/ Red Dead Redemption, with some fantasy thrown in. Decades ago, the Rift tore through the center of Aurora. A catastrophic tear in the divide between the material and ghostly planes, the swath of land became the home for Banshees and the undead. The transcontinental railways came to a halt due to the danger, and residents of the area fled to safer ground. Only a few brave the byways to connect the East to the West, and bring letters, news, and trade from one side to the other. Most are Romanites, nomadic religious folk with their own ways; the traditional traders with caravans and wagons and rifles. Some are just brave fools with a thirst for adventure. Our dashing heroes happen to the of the latter category. The West holds more than just the Western folk. The elves live in the north western forests, and the enormous mountain range just beyond the Rift's boundaries is the ancestral home of the dwarves. For treasure hunters and scholars, it's paradise, and the group we follow is comprised of both flavors. A young Romanite sharpshooter/loremaster and her husband, a hulking former dockworker with no small amount of fighting skill, travel with the former's brother, a young man with a certain predisposition for carnage and a humorless attitude; a pair of gold-hungry mercenary twins; and a desperately cheerful mage-thief with more knowledge and talent that his appearance lets on. The group plunges into an old dwarven ruin, and end up getting (and causing) more trouble than they initially intended.

@aymzie (I'm not very good at this either.) Maybe something that plays with the cliched phrase "once upon a time" or "happily ever after" Or something like "American Fairy Tale" or something.....sorry, i don't know why I'm trying with this, I'm awful at titles. Just try playing with fairy tale cliches, I guess, and try to make it clever.

Ahh I need a title! My story is about a girl named Lucy, living sometime between 1600-1800 (haven’t decided yet), who has had reoccurring nightmares her whole life. She’s afraid to tell anyone; for fear that she’ll end up like her sister, Constance, who was sent to an insane asylum. One day, she doesn’t wake up from one and she finds herself in a Hell like place called Efialtes. It is the place where all nightmares live. The ruler of this place, Phobetor, wants to make her his bride, keeping her there for all eternity and forcing her to bear his children, so that Efialtes can become more powerful and some day, take over the world. Phobetor intends to torture her until she succumbs.

*is sad she was skipped* :( Oh well on to the next one @PiKevin first of all, sorry but I kept twitching at the word 'teem' which should be 'team' ;) as for a title it's hard to come up with one, because in your synopsis you lay out the basic idea but not where the story is going. Okay 5 teens with super powers, maybe if they have a name for their group call it that? Do they struggle with their powers or have they accepted it as another part of themselves? Basically all I can come up with now are cheesy titles (power rangers was the first thing to pop into my head, I'm sorry xD) "Fifth time is the charm" "The Circle of Five" or something like that...

(Into) Thin Air is the first (good) thing I could come up with. And maybe you could hint at Who Dunnit already in your title? Of course only in a way that readers will realize after they know who Dunnit. And maybe you could play around with the titles of the fictions you're crossing over? I don't know what FortySomething is, so... yeah.

On her twelfth birthday, Gary and her went to Faitere, a place famous for its natural beauty. So in Faitere, they entered a secret portal(cough, cough) to Turnae, a barracks for nature fairies. Sharan will find out that she's a air fairy then she will know that a fairy war was the reason why her town was destroyed. She will hunt these "bad" fairies that started the war and stop their plan to harm the fairies from Turnae. ~The fairies in my story isn't like the girlish fairies that fly and everything.

Kind of stolen from a few ideas. Not sure if I'm using this yet. I have so many ideas! -.-; Humans are born with different magnetic fields; there are about 6 known types. Each type is attracted to certain other types and repealed from others (literally can't be next to each other - kids are always compatible to their parents/ siblings). You are tested when you're born and the rest of your life is influenced by your type. You always have to be with the types you get along with, etc, etc it's gotten very complicated and there are strict rules of society. (Insert FMC name) is born looking completely normal, but when doctors test her, they realize she doesn't have a type of magnetism at all. No one knows how to react to her... and her whole life is set as an outcast. After much angst, she finds a group of rebels going against this system, but they're forever on the run.

The killer shoots the man straight in the eye, and the guy is taken within his own memory. He retraces his entire life all in a bid to find 'the word' and make his final second of 'real life' count. Then again, which is his real life? Madness, memory and all things chaotic collide in a fight to find the word and save the daughter. A daughter he, in his mind, hasn't even had yet..."

My current title for this is Recollections of a Sleepless Life. Any ideas? The humans always thought they were unstoppable, invincible. That they had reached the brink of their power and were about to push through. They made one fatal mistake: they thought time was eternal. A flash of blinding light, the clock stops ticking, and reality collapses. The world has ended, or at least what you knew it to be. You crawl out from under the rubble and look around with curious eyes, like an inquisitive child. Your name is Lilia Evermore, you're certified insane, and considering that everything around you is blankness, you assume the day has come. (You always knew this day would come.) Lilia tries to find out where she is and who she is and what her purpose is, she's completely lost. On her journey she finds out tiny snippets that come to her in visions like pieces of a jigsaw. She also meets a not-quite-human being called *TBC* who she starts to fall in love with, but when she kisses him, everything warps. I won't reveal any more, but it's basically whether this is all real, or whether it's just in her head, or whether it's something else like a Lilia in a different dimension. Confused yet? ;) Kara x

@liliaevermore How about The Magic Of Lilia Evermore? I could use some help with a title myself, since I'm generally rubbish with them. The plot goes thusly: An author is struggling to write a novel for his publishers and, in praying for a distraction from work, is whisked away to the future by time-travelling rhinos. Yes, you read the right. He finds himself sixty years into the future, with far-advanced technology and humanity serving these rhinos in vast undersea cities which traverse the globe-spanning ocean. A sudden rebel attack allows our hero to escape a life of drudgery, attempting to finish a novel his future self had been writing when he died. Lost and alone in a future world, he meets such characters as Marv the washing machine/barman, Taneka the writer, and apparent prophetess to the rhino religion, and a rather surprising public enemy #1... With all of this going on our hero has to find his way back to his own time, stop the rhinos taking over, and assassinate the current rhino king. Everywhere he looks there are spies and traitors, and nobody seems to know exactly whose side they're on. So yeah, if you can think of a title for that reply to this comment and I'll take a look. Many thanks! :)

He never shows pain and rather spends his time attempting to invoke some painful emotions from others. A horrible phone call Charlotte receives at a school about the kidnapping at her beloved younger brother is obviously hard for her entire family. Charlotte, however is contacted by the kidnapper, an old "friend" of her parents. He extortions her into completing a series of dangerous tasks, in the anticipation of dying or getting arrested as payback for what her parents did to him. Help me find a title please! Keep in mind a central theme of the story is a growing romance of Charlotte and her nemesis, who ends up going on the journey of completing the tasks with her.

(Copy-pasted from "Novel Info" on my profile) When their plane crashes on a faraway island, two hapless explorers accidentally come across a strange tribe of people. The tribe has an unusual basis for government: the color of the pants one wears determines one's social status. Upon meeting the tribespeople, the explorers are instantly hailed as royalty because of their apparently-valuable black pants. While trying to get used to their new lives as kings, one of them falls in love with a young woman from the tribe. But will the cultural and language barriers get in the way of romance? And will the explorers ever see their homeland again? This story is supposed to be funny but exciting, btw.

For you, its a bit difficult because your synopsis gives several different plot ideas. But I'd say "In My Head" or "If It Were" are two good title names to think about.

Really I'm not sure what I would name your story if you didn't have a title already. I kind of thought "The Sanity of Insanity" just because he questioned her sanity but commits murder anyway and then later wonders if the murder was a dream. I don't know. It was just a thought.

Please let me know what you think of these titles (synopsis below) The Eighth Dementia or The Eighth Dementian Synopsis: This is a sci/fi parody. A group of friends are accidentally pulled into the 8th dimension. They land on a planet that was created and run by a mad god (meaning, crazy god). Each person within the group sees the world completely differently, and they must find a way to communicate with each other and work together. Each person has to face his or her own greatest fear to its logical conclusion. Of course, hilarity ensues, because the god is nuts etc etc. Hence, the pun on the word dementia. Thoughts? Other ideas? I want to make sure it doesn't sound too terribly serious.

@InSanityStorm: For some reason the title "Day by Day" came to me. The other one that hit me was "Ordinary Time." That second one is a little bit referential to a particular "season" in the Anglican church, which may not be to your taste. But the phrase struck me in regards to your story.

@Lola.B ; You could always go with "The Sight" (obvious, I know) or "Dream Catching" because of how they're caught in a web of sorts, and it all starts with a dream? I'm sorry, I wish I had a better idea. XD Anyone have any ideas for my synopsis? An alternate-Earth is unsettled against the backdrop of religious war. The major religions of the planet dictate everything and anything with an iron fist, even training their own armies and police forces to govern over their regions. However, humans aren't the only ones living on this world; there are ritualistic tribes of wolf-worshippers, secret societies of witchlings, and more living in the darker recesses that the God-fearing civilizations have strayed away from-- for what they believe is their own safety. The storyline follows the main character, Nichelle, a Sentinel training for her place in the High Guard of New Kieriz. Everything is going well in her training, up until their leader and Highest Kin of their church decides to take Nichelle's innocent, too-young sister as his newest bride (and addition to his extensive collection of "accidentally" dead ex-wives). When Nichelle witnesses something terrible and secret, hidden from everyone in the church, she is marked a traitor and sentenced to death. How will Nichelle escape and save her younger sister?

No one truly understands him." Lucie is an ordinary 17 year old. Passing her exams (just) and hanging out with friends comes second the most important thing in her life. Lux Logan. The "it" celebrity of the moment. Lucie had followed him since his first movie, a cheesey horror film, all the way to his A-list status. Suddenly, all the girls were declaring their love for him, pinning up his poster... When Lucie gets the opportunity of a lifetime to meet her love, she can't help but declare her feelings... And who would have thought it, but she's catapulted into fame. She finds herself from Surrey to Stardom within a year, arm in arm with the man she loves. But can she deal with the heart breaking and cruel reality that threatens to destroy her life? Or can Lucie Gordling become every fans dream? (It's not perfect, I need a lot of help! This is my first novel I've ever written, and I haven't even sorted out some of the plot holes yet.)

@BrokenMirror I'm really bad with titles, and you have a pretty good one already :), but I'll try... How about something along the lines of "Split" or something with that in the name, as in the visions are split between them, because one gets the happy and one gets the bad. Or maybe "Friend", because that is what Felix called the other guy since he didn't know his name...? I don't know. I'm terrible with titles and I also tend to favor one-word titles, which is weird because my working title isn't one word. But you could also try "Anterior", meaning to come before in time, that is, their past life was before their present life. "Antecedent" has a similar meaning I think. Also "Precede". Or, you know, I'm really bad with titles, so, I sincerely apologize :S

Mine's kind of a mystery with a slight romance story (because I'm a sucker for romance) and it's about these 10 people who all went to high school together, and they're all kidnapped with a note left at their houses "Justice Will Be Served To Those Who Have Wronged Me". A man they all went to school with kidnapped them because he's a schizophrenic and small events that occured in high school have manifested themselves in his mind until they become unbearable and those people need to be punished. The romance comes from a couple who used to date in high school and never saw each other again until they meet after they've been kidnapped, and a secondary plotline I suppose you could call it is if they get out alive and end up together. It's a super-long description, but any ideas for a title?

Since your novel will take place in a high school, it may work to have a title that takes on a more youthful nature. I would suggest something like, "Trombones, Sousaphones, and Loads of Soggy Paper". (needs a little work, but I think I got the idea across).

Oh sorry, I never posted my synopsis on here. Usually people just click the icon and look but I'll post it. Just a warning, it's VERY long! BACK STORY: Orin is a young squire of fifteen who has struggled to meet expectations throughout his life. Things started going wrong when Orin was but a baby. His mother, Dahlia, had been in love with the Duke of a neighboring kingdom. The relationship did not last and Dahlia later found out she was pregnant with his son, Orin. She hated Orin and blamed him for her lover leaving her. She was driven mad with agony and attempts to murder Orin while still in her belly with the use of Dark Magic but does not succeed. After Orin is born, Dahlia tries to kill Orin one last time by stabbing him with a dagger as he sleeps peacefully in his crib. Her brother, King Cedric, discovers her in the act and stops her. Regrettably, Cedric has Dahlia locked away for practice of Dark Magic and Attempted Murder. For anyone else the punishment would have been death but Cedric couldn't bring himself to do it. After a year locked away in a dungeon cell Dahlia's once beautiful blonde hair has turned raven black along with her soul. She escapes the dungeon and is never heard from again. PRESENT TIME: Fifteen years later, Orin has been raised like a prince by his Uncle, King Cedric, alongside his cousin Aiden. Orin received a high-class education in all subjects (Except literature, due to a bad childhood incident with poetry) and was trained in horseback riding, swords, archery, and the like. Orin always tried his best in these activities but could somehow never quite measure up to Aiden, who was skilled at just about everything from charming the court to beating the other squires in a game of Chess. Orin however does have one skill that Aiden is lacking in, and that is throwing daggers. Orin, being unaware of his origins, fails to understand the snickers and shakes of the head that people give when he is roaming about the kingdom. His confidence is failing, he feels lost and hidden behind Aiden, and all his life people have told him he will never be good enough. All of this changes when his Uncle suddenly falls deathly ill on the eve of Aiden's sixteenth birthday, the age when a squire is sent out on a quest that he must complete to become a knight. The only cure to the illness is a concoction made of a rare plant only found in the mountain ranges of Alkazeth. Aiden offers to take up the quest of finding the plant but King Cedric insists that it is Orin's destiny. For the first time in his life someone has confidence in Orin. But will he be able to meet their expectations? THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORIN AND AIDEN: Aiden is naturally a more likable person. He is good looking, loyal, kind, generous, a skilled fighter, and wise when it comes to making decisions. However, Orin is almost the complete opposite. Years of torment and being mocked have built up inside him, and even though none of it is really Aiden's fault, Orin blames Aiden for his problems. Aiden and Orin grew up together as brothers, living under the same roof and sharing the same father. Aiden loves and respects Orin like a brother and would never want any harm to Orin of any kind. Orin is aware of this and deep down really loves Aiden as well. But his fear and jealousy keep him from being able to live in peace with Aiden. There is a constant inner struggle between the part of Orin that loves Aiden and the part that hates him.

I like the title "Survival" (as it seems most on-topic re:your MC's journey/struggle), but, maybe, playing with that word in a phrase that links it to high school, suicides, trends, and/or peer pressure could make it less vague. I also imagine anything titled as simply and as strongly as "Survival" must be akin to that story "Alive" (of the sports team that crashed into the Andes and who had to resort to cannibalism to survive): coming through something physically as well as emotionally and/or morally overwhelming. So...with that in mind: - If Everyone Jumped, Would You? (or: Everyone Jumped, or If Everyone Jumped) referring to that parental fave: If So'n'so jumped off a bridge, would you, too?) - Everyone Else's Suicide (or cut it to: Everyone Else's) - Deadly Trendsetters (Deadly Trend, Deadly Trends) - Survivor's Game - The Survivor's Guide to High School - Bully's Paradise Um...yeah, it's hard to go further without more specifics re: your MC, especially her mindset & character arc. But, word-clouds and brainstorms and generating a big list of related titles can help you figure out if two words from a specific title go better with this other word from another, etc. Like a photo shoot, you'll end up with dozens of duds and a few primes. Is this a take on the recent "It Gets Better" Campaign that was started in response to spate of gay youth suicides? The more specific you are about the story's content, the easier it gets to find the right title ^_^ Hope this helps!

As a feminist, I WILL outwardly hate any character, especially a husband/boyfriend, who abuses his significant other (and I would assume we are SUPPOSED to hate such a character, unless given really good reason NOT TO). I don't know that the first-person chapters from him will be able to achieve what you set out in your synopsis: "to let you inside to why he is the way he is, so that you don't outwardly hate him." I actually think that the opposite would be true; that we would understand what he does BECAUSE of what is inside his head, because we get a glimpse at the way his mind works; as in: I'd understand why an abused child would grow up to abuse others, but this does not mean I condone that result. It's not zero-sum. I think we will hate him, but we will at least understand WHY we hate him and why he does what he does. If that makes sense, haha. He is not the hero of your novel, so I don't think you need to help us NOT HATE him ^_^.. but you don't have to HELP us hate him. Also, I think he WOULD want her to carry the pregnancy to term, if only because reproductive abuse (birth control sabotage, etc) happens for a reason: controlling a woman through her reproductive "choices" is yet ANOTHER level of control through which abusers can exert their power. Let me know if you need any sound-boarding or help with research re: any of this! I'm super interested, obviously. I will dig to read this when it's done! ^_^

Mary had it all, she was popular, good grades, amazing boyfriend and had the top gossip blog on the internet. But one day, when people have finally had enough of her mean words, they turn on her. Soon Mary finds herself alone. As she struggles to get her friends and the respect of her classmates back, she puts her blog on hold and writes it all in a journal. Soon she realizes someone's been reading her journal, not only that but they've hacked her blog and taken control of her life. Now, that someone has grabbed control and with rumors flying, how far will Mary go to find out who's doing this, but more importantly, how far will Mary go to get her life back?

Um, haha, forgot to mention possible titles... I would play on the idea of the struggle for independence; while pregnancy/possible abortion is a central component to the story, the crux of it is actually: will the MC manage to make her own choices and persevere into actual independence? I don't think you need to play with Pro-choice, anti-choice, pro-life etc in the title. The basic tenets are a fight for independence and a life of one's own choosing. I'd play with the dichotomy of the abused woman and the independent woman for a title. I'm getting the image of a shattered vase plastered back together....This one is gonna stick with me so I'll be back with some brainstorming thoughts ^_^

Stockholm Syndrome - Feelings of trust or affection felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor. I know that it is the captors who are falling for each other, but maybe somehow incorporate Stockholm into your title? Also, maybe you could base the title off of dating-game-shows or something, such as the dating game, the newlywed game, or the Bachelor. Also, you could use the term "Blind Date" somewhere in there...

Good at Heart, maybe? Playing off of their last name? *shrugs* Just a suggestion. Keely's dream has always been to study somewhere prestigious, find something great, make a name for herself. Unfortunately, she couldn't get accepted to anywhere but the community college where she lives. When her sister, Emma, comes home from the school of her dreams, Keely is the tiniest bit jealous. On the way home from the airport, both of their worlds are turned upside down. emma loses her sister, and Keely transfers by force of an SUV. She wakes up in the University, a school for people who died before they make their impact, and is thrown right back into her studies, well on her way to a discovery. But this school isn't as safe as everyone thought it was. Someone who isn't dead manages to enroll, and everything is thrown out of whack. Follow our protagonist as she tries to finish college, with the threat of nonexistence looming over her head.

Depending on the tone, Zephyr Blackheart's novel could be named Deported to Mars!, Mars Quest, The Jewels of Eden, Mars Deportation, or Trevor and Angel's Trip to the Stars. Now, for my novel... I'm having some difficulty with this one, though I do have a working title. Fate lives a solitary life. Existing as a higher being, as those like her tend to call themselves, she doesn't have much to do. This constraint led her to ingenuity, and for years she's created and played with worlds--with a flick of her wrist she can save a life... or end one. One lonely night, she chooses an old world of hers, Odaria, and finds herself drawn to a small shack, where circumstance has led two very different people together. Intrigued, she conjures a magic lightning strike, and the results surprise even her. The minds of two teenagers, Chloyden Aberdon and Felica Kingsong, are now linked. The novel itself explores their journey, as they escape from the locked-down city-state of Dera, pass through the market-town of Peth, and wind up in Parim, the magical capital of Odaria where they learn the ways of magic from Ror Koradin, in return for allowing her to study their magical connection. But the link between Chloyden and Felica's minds is not a beneficial occurrence, as they find themselves unable to function when they can't move more than two feet apart, or tell their own thoughts from the other's. Will they break this curse, or will Fate have to find herself a new diversion?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Rinkinkeen — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:22:20 +0100

I already have a title for my story, but it's stupid and I need a better one. Here's my way-too-long-to-be-a-summary summary: The story starts with a college student named Heath Sorensen performing strange experiments on his friends in which he records their brain activity while doing simple magic tricks. He tells them it's a project for his psychology class, but his friends know he's really bad at lying. So Heath tells them the truth: He's figured out the secret of how magic really works. When someone tries to do something that requires a lot of confidence in front of an audience, every person in the audience unconsciously transfers their willpower to that person. When enough power is gathered, the performer can bend reality to their will. The performer's power is directly proportional to how many people are watching and whether the audience believes in the performer's ability. Conversely, magic doesn't work if no one is watching. Heath plans to use his new knowledge to become a world-famous magician and execute magic tricks of divine proportion to make the world a better place. However, his plans receive some interference when Keaton Wycliffe, one of his classmates, steals and copies all of his notes on magic. Now he'll have to manage his growing fame as a magician while trying to keep Keaton from doing who-knows-what with his notes. Any good ideas for a title?

Well, here's my story. I can't really phrase it in a less convoluted manner, sorry. Synopsis: Five kids with extraordinary abilities (Mind reading, telekinesis, etc.) are kidnapped/sold as infants, and "raised" by a company in a small, obnoxiously sanitary building in London (But they don't know that), which they are never allowed out of. They are about to be sold again, as weapons to the highest bidder, but escape and run for it, ending up in Washington D.C. and then New York CIty. They find people with abilities, like them, and then find out that the parent company of the one that "raised" them is about to start a big war. All but my MC and one other are captured by this corporation and they must rescue them and destroy the company. They succeed. I hope that made sense. It's just the bare bones of the story. Possibly important information: MC is a girl named Rowan She has Mind Sight (Can see anywhere in the world, inside of her mind) My (lame) ideas: Weapon Seeing the War Something sort of Frankenstein's Monster-ish (They turn on the ones who "raised" them), is there a military term for that?

Hi! I'd really love some help on this story title. I'm planning on making it a YA humor novel. Here's the basic plot: Once upon a time in Storybook Land, there were many, many beautiful princesses. Unfortunately for them, there was only one prince: Prince Harold Charming. With his 18th birthday fast approaching, his parents are pushing him toward marrying one of the many princesses in the land by setting him up on dates and trying to match him up with 'the one'. However, Harold has a secret...He's gay. Will he survive the silly princesses? And there's that little matter of marriage... Any ideas?

Each month, someone is chosen to leave their grand city on a mission to find the sun. No one has ever come back. It used to be an honor to go, but now it is a time of the month everyone dreads. Jacey Cerrato had both her parents sent on this journey of death before she could even walk. Now, after a stunt she pulled, her time has come too. In the city she was a thief. Near the end of the story she is going to find another city inhabited by all the people who were sent on this journey before her. None of then believe there is even a land above or a sun. She has to decide if she wants to keep looking or not.

An old friend warns him away from Amelia but Ryan takes her under his wing anyway and the two begin an adventure to see if he can find any remaining family. He is disappointed to find out much later that his old friend was right. Near the end, Ryan finds out that he does have family, a younger brother who wants him dead and Amelia was who he sent to do it.

Synopsis Allen and Anya are polar opposites. She's a hipster working in a used bookstore, he's a nerd doing everything to get into the right college and not become his drunken uncle. He never knew his father and his mother pretty much has checked out of his life. His most stable family figures are his Jewish Grandparents, who live in Russia, a whole ocean away. When Allen walks into Anya's workplace, she immediately sees something in him. Throughout the book, you'll see Allen's strong character become as confident as possible, and her facade crumble. You watch their friendship grow into love, and that love slip away when tragedy strikes. Allen has moved on, or so he thought. After Anya's death, he went to college, he got a job teaching History, he married someone else. But when he returns to that dreary Washington town, the memories flood him and nostalgia threatens to overrun his life. It's going to be mostly written in flashbacks.

@King Caspian Your title is great! Don't need anything from me. Mine needs a Star Wars nerd, or someone who can think like one. It's basically just a re-write of the prequel trilogy. That is, the story of how Darth Vader came to be, while being friends with/trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. No Qui-Gon Jin, no midichlorians, and probably no "Darth" anyone but him. I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet. Yeah, it's fan fiction, but I have a REALLY busy November, so I'm trying to do something easy!

On the Isle of Time, a place that is but a legend, rests an amulet that is told to give the bearer incredible powers and now there is evidence that this island exists. A group of rebels sends their best warrior to find the amulet and the king gives his top assassin a new mission. The two race against each other to reach the island, and the amulet, first. Extra Information: The story is going to be told from the assassin's point of view. I feel that this is important in naming the story. And it's medieval fantasy.

Darn it, too slow. @liz_seal, I first thought "Remembering Anya" which is perhaps a little too on point, but the name Anya is beautiful and evocative of the Russian connection, so I like having it in the title. Or maybe "Remembering {something}" where the something is a seemingly minor thing about her that looms large in retrospect, like a look, a phrase, a piece of jewelry she wore....? Or maybe put a twist on it and spell "Anya" in cyrillic?

Yay! I'm hoping it will focus more on Obi-Wan's and Anakin's relationship as mentor/pupil evolving into friends, the tragedy being the loss of the relationship as Anakin becomes seduced by his lust for power (more so than being talked into it by an evil overlord) leading to a climactic showdown. I'm thinking the POV will be mainly Obi-Wan though might switch around to various characters - all EXCEPT Anakin who is only observed from outside.

(working) plot: A college-aged woman becomes pregnant and decides to give up the baby. She goes through the motions of the adoption process and is first matched with a family but something doesn't feel right, so she is matched with another family. She and the adoptive family become close, despite the physical distance between them, during the MC's pregnancy. At birth, the doctors discover an abnormality with the baby that wasn't detected during pregnancy. The adoptive family tries to bond with the baby but cannot get over the glaring abnormality and decide to go home, baby-less. The biological mother feels hurt and confused, at an all time low. She decides to care for the baby until another family is found. Will the biological mom give up her baby to the next family, or will she choose to keep him? -- That is the gist of it though some parts may need to be changed, depending on what is realistic. I am waiting for some answers in Reference Desk to see how everything works w / r / t adoption but this was the plot that came to mind immediately. Thanks for any suggestions!

Okay well if you can tell me the name of the baby i would go with a virtue. Like Giving up Hope.. (hope being the baby's name) Because the mother struggles to give up the baby at first and then struggles to find hope for the baby ever finding a family.

Okay...here's mine. Been using The Rat Girl for two years now.....need a new one. Synopsis: Lilit Nodwich is a typical 13 year old girl, if you consider living with her scientist parents in a world that has changed dramatically since the great continental shift fifty years ago typical. What is left of the country's population has been herded into the remaining towns and cities and the government has maintained strict control, that is unless you live outside the city - in a region called the Outrim. Nothing extraordinary has ever happened in Lilit's life until the night she discovers her parents have special abilities - abilities she seems to have inherited and talents that the government wants to have in their control. But her parents have a plan. She is delivered into the capable but unlikely hands of Cornelius. That's fine - except for one minor detail. He's a rat. Thanks!

My Plot: Jenna disappeared on a Tuesday. She'd always been one to hate Tuesdays-- they were filler days, the time in between Monday (which people groan about) and Wednesdays (the middle of the week slump). Everyone assumed that she'd just ran away-- although some,Hazel and Monroe, know that someone's got something to find. And they're both convinced to find it. Told from the point of view of Jenna's closest friends, we explore what the aftermath of the mystery of someone's dissappearance, and the way that life goes on without them. Thanks to anyone who can help me out(: I'm terrible at titles.

@uberskittlez Terror on Tuesday Tuesday Tantrums Lost Looking Foward, Moving Back Hope I can help :D My plot synopsis: Caleb is going to die. The doctors have given him only 6 months till his death due to Acute Lymphoblast Leukaemia. His mother Jillian, breaks down and cries. His father Patrick sits in silence and stares out of windows all day. And his sister Maya, well, she’s only 3 – what would she know or care anyway. Looking for a way out of the miserable mess, Caleb walks. He walks for hours; observing, remembering, laughing, talking, looking and living. And then he meets Ben, a boy the same age as him. Ben can change Caleb’s life and give him a new chance at living altogether. Autumn and Ben have grown up together, their families best friends. Through thick and thin, they’ve stuck by each other – through school and at home. Because of this, they’ve made a suicide pact. While each one is alive, so shall be the other. But, when Autumn is killed in a horrific car wreck and her family move to the coast for an escape, Ben doesn’t know how to feel. Rightfully to the pact, he needs to kill himself but in reality, his families feelings and pain stops him. So instead, he walked. Walks until he meets Caleb, who can change Ben’s life and give him a new chance at living altogether.

I kinda like that, though I'm not sure it would work for the title. I could probably use it for a chapter title or something though. I'm definitely going to hang onto it.

It sounded good to me for whatever reason.

I had always seen her as the brat who ruined my fun just by existing. Then I lost her. I never realized how much she meant to me until I decided to get her back."

The second one involves a special world named Moreteva and the world is about to be destroyed (spoiler alert: the antagonist from my first book is resurrected mid-novel.)

My story: "Faeries are real. A lot of other things are, too. You've probably met a few 'things' without ever realizing it, and you'll probably meet a few dozen more. If you're very lucky, you won't. My name is Anita Gilchrist, and I am one of those 'things'. A good thing. A thing called a Tuatha that looks no different than an ordinary human that hunts other things when they step out of line or break the rules. I'm a thing that uses an ancient magic called Weaving that lets me bend reality to my will; a thing that polices the unseen world so that all 'normal things' can live safer lives. But more than that- I'm a highschool student with a few friends, a family, a regular job, and my life already planned out for me. And there's nothing I can do about it." The title I've been using so far is "Running With Faeries" but I'm not especially fond of it... Any suggestions?

Basic Idea/Synopsis: "Hannah Davis is fifteen, violist with a secret. Her secret, one of many in a world of turmoil. But there's something different about Hannah: she can see the world from anyone's point of view. She walks in their shoes. It's an uncontrollable ability for her to look into another’s eyes and look back into her own. To her, it's nothing but a curse. But could an unfortunate turn of events change her mind? Hannah's time reflects the culture of ancient Greece in a modern setting, bringing back everything from the Oracle to worship of the gods. For as long as anyone could remember, their democracy had stood strong, until an unsuspected rug was pulled out beneath them, giving a destructive monarchy that once lurked in the shadows a chance to gain power. While attending a college prep school for musicians, Hannah is confronted about her secret and is offered an option to rid herself of the monster that she posses. But could she honestly accept it and live with destroying innocent people's lives?" I'm currently stuck with the lame title "In My Shoes" can anyone help?

Okay the only titles I could think of were "Walking a Mile" cause it kind of goes with the whole walking a mile in their shoes thing and "Through Their Eyes" since she seems to be looking directly through their eyes. My plot: While on career day with the local reporter Dan Beaman; 14-years-old Samara ends up pulled into the world of superheroes and villains. She discovers that Dan is more than he seems and acquires the ability to track down super powered beings. Now both superheroes and villains alike are after her. Dan now has to protect her from the supervillains who want to exploit her, superheroes who want her captured, and members of both sides who want her killed.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Arianna Erlaine — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:16:29 +0100

I'm not sure I really follow the synopsis, but maybe "In Everyone's Shoes But Mine" "Through the Eyes of Strangers" "Walking in Your World" (because she sees the world the way other people do? I'm not clear on that-- is she literally just seeing through their /eyes/, or is she inside their thoughts and viewpoint?)

The curse states that she has only 30 days to live, but meanwhile, it is transporting her to a new universe every morning. She must somehow find a way to break the curse and return home alive, all while surviving a new 'adventure' every day.

i can't find the right title from my novel. I usually write short stories and my last words or phrase make up my title. Since i don't have other last words, i don't have the title with the ending. My story is dark urban fantasy set in Italy then in Las Vegas. Synposis: Feburary 24th 2009. After a Valentines evening with her on/off boyfriend and another arguement, MIette walked to her friend's loft in Rome, a city she was just visiting. She never made it to the loft. Her family searched for her, but she was no where to be found. Fifteen years after her disappearance, Miette is found in a SnowWhite-like state in a tomb miles away from Rome. When awakened Miette is forced to face a post- 12.21.12 world and the truths behind every important event her life, including her birth.

Arianna Erlaine — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:20:04 +0100

Hmm, tough one. Does it get resolved at the end? Sometimes the resolution becomes the character's goal, or at least the main character's goal points the way to a good title. Then again, maybe I have it wrong-- is Samara the main character, or is she passive and it's Dan who's the main?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

blissfulrain — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:23:35 +0100

Samara's the main and ends up becoming a super-heroine in her own way as well as the leader of her own group.

Arianna Erlaine — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:25:54 +0100

Hmmm... Snow White and the Seven Secrets Snow White After the World Waking Up After Death It sounds like there could be a lot of good titles that come from the story after she wakes up, maybe even those last few words like you usually do. It might be better to wait until it's written and then look for the title, once you see how it ends.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Arianna Erlaine — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 06:28:40 +0100

Well, what's her goal? You've said what Dan's goal is (keep her safe) and what everyone else's goal is (capture, recruit, or kill her), but maybe the title is about what Samara wants. People who become leaders don't stay passive characters for very long... that's all I'm thinking.

It's both, she see's through their eyes, feels their memories, hears their thoughts. I'm still building a why, I think that'll come through when the antagonist quits hiding from me. It's been a disjointed mess for a while now and I'm seriously considering just starting from scratch but I figured maybe getting a fitting title would help inspire me.

Prinkes — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 07:15:09 +0100

I'm having issues with my title. Right now it's called "Gabrielle," but I feel like that's too simple. Tobias Rowley has given up on life at sixteen. He's nothing, less than nothing, a waste of space on the planet. He has never mattered to anyone - not even his own father. Ever since his mother died, Tobias has suffered physical abuse at the hand of his father, a retired war vet who is incapable of surviving on his own due to alcoholism and a severe paranoia. Tobias takes care of his dad, and then covers the bruises and keeps the abuse a secret because he feels responsible for his mother's death and the abuse as a whole; if he were a better son, his father wouldn't have to hit him. When the novel begins he is just trying to survive, and then she arrives. Gabrielle explodes into his life like a sunbeam, discovers his secret, and promises him there is more to life - and she's determined to show it to him. The two make a pact: she won't call the cops if he'll call her each time there's an "incident," and in return, she gets to show him what life can be like if he does make that call. They spend a year together, going to her brother's track meets, pranking the bullies, and learning about each other and themselves. At the end of the year Tobias must choose between staying with the only family he has left in the world, and venturing into the unknown with the beautiful wise-cracking Gabrielle.

"The Rat" or "The Hands of a Rat" or maybe just "Cornelius" if you want the rat thing to be a surprise twist. Or maybe "Down The River," because the idea of deliverance is reminiscent of Moses, who was also saved in an unlikely way, delivered down the river in a basket.

@ Prinkes An Incident of Sunshine? @Kahlan By Traitor's Blood? As for mine... Synopsis: "Everyone said the world would end in 2012. In one sense they were right. The Normals out there did see the end of their existence as they knew it. Supernaturals emerged into public view on July 12, 2012 in what many scholars now call “The Great Uprising”. At the time, the Order only had about three thousand Knights world-wide between all five regions. They could not keep up with Demons clashing in full manifested form with Angelic Beings over the skies of Tokyo, San Francisco, Denver, Buenos Aries, London, Moscow, New Deli, Toronto, Johannesburg, and Istanbul. The Order of the Rose and Thorne had been charged with keeping secret the Supernaturals that walked among the people. That mission changed to policing the Supernatural population once the world knew the truth. Eighty years have passed since that day. The Order still polices the Supernaturals, and are better equipped and funded to do so. Now a young Knight takes up the sword and the cause. She has to stand on the front lines where Supernaturals with longer memories than the Order's history know old injustices and they are willing to try and settle the score however they can. Whether by tooth, claw, or venom. "

I'm thinking of "Tick, Tock, Time Machine" at the moment, but it's temporary. Any bright, sparky ideas? Cirilie Adams is a tinker. Whether it's taking apart her mother's toaster or stealing her baby brother's monitor to build walkie-talkies, Cirilie knows how stuff works. So it's no surprise when she says she wants to build a time machine--and does. Cirilie is launched into the year 2512, and expecting to find a world brimming with new technology, she is everything shocked when there is not a scrap of metal in sight. Instead she is faced with rolling green pastures dotted with grazing cows. In this new and unfamiliar world where metal has almost been completely abolished for the good of mankind and everything is done by hand, Cirilie struggles to understand a new way of life. But what's even harder is finding her way back home. Her time machine is full of metal--and highly illegal. Possession of metal is death. So why would anyone steal it?

The way I just explained yours to my Husband Kahlan was "Well, the guard knows that Royal Blood was spilled by a traitors hand. As far as the rest of the Kingdom is concerned, he's the traitor and they are out for his blood. Works both ways!" *insert insane smile* Don't worry about it. Right now I'm sitting on "The Order of Rose and Thorne" and hoping for inspiration. :) Sometimes we find that spirit in other's breath.

Brass Contraband? Just from that part about metal being illegal. And a pun. Not exactly bright and sparky, sorry. I think that title has already been used by an old movie I've never heard of. But it's the best I can think of. And I'm not good at titles. btw, fascinating story idea. :D mine: My 2AM brainstormed title was "Self-Help for a Friend" and I don't know if I want to change it. It refers to Matt's conflict throughout the story with his best friend who's a spy, while Matt himself remains loyal to the government. He wants to convince his friend to abandon the rebel cause but doesn't want to turn him in. But it sounds like entirely the wrong kind of story. It should be a pretty funny adventure but has some deeper themes about governments and loyalty. So, anyone got a better idea? (also, for that friend, what normal first names translate interestingly into French?) Setting: late 18th century America, ish. But it's not the Revolutionary War. Matt, your average farm boy, is drafted into the army. Though his family was somewhat involved in the unrest against the mysteriously-run government, he quickly joins the most loyal soldiers in supporting the threatened regime. His loyalty is tested by a brutal commander, a best friend spying for the rebels, the friend's shady but distractingly alluring girlfriend, the Robin-Hood-like rebelles d'arbres, a mysterious and possibly time-traveling traveler, highwaymen galore, betrayal, and numerous other adventurous adventures as his squad is left to fend for itself during the years of upheaval.

In reference to your statement: "Depending on the tone, Zephyr Blackheart's novel could be named Deported to Mars!, Mars Quest, The Jewels of Eden, Mars Deportation, or Trevor and Angel's Trip to the Stars." Would it be helpful if I said that Trevor and his sister are on opposite sides of this story in my head for most of the series? The one that seemed to hit closest for me was The Jewels of Eden.... My Ideas had (until just recently centered around the whole Eden thing... my most recent Idea however was Imperfect Paradise for the name of my first novel...but I think I like the idea of maybe calling it The Jewels of Eden Series?

Here's mine: Mages have always ruled the city of Vixenport. But in recent years, with an influx of war refugees from across the sea, new mores and new technologies have been introduced. As Vixenport becomes industrialized, a new middle class emerges, and the old order is threatened. The face of this change is one Tierny Clydell, a charismatic business man who has seen the potential of technology. But as his factories have started being targeted by an anti-technology group, Clydell and his much put-upon secretary decide the culprits must be found and stopped... and to this end, they recruit Lukara Trevisor, a minor noble and a dilligent apprentice to one of the city's most powerful mages. Navigating choppy political waters while dealing with an overzealous street preacher and avoiding her nosy fellow apprentice, Lukara must unmask the mysterious group responsible for sabotaging Vixenport's emergent industry, and perhaps change the social landscape of Vixenport forever.

"Soot vs. Smoke" comes to mind, or some variation thereof. "The Politics of Smoke and Soot." is an example. I mean, the smoke representing the mages, and soot representing industry. Both are more or less byproducts, as any practice has some sort of byproduct. It alludes to what's going on without standing up and screaming it out to the reader.

Personally, I love the name "Vixenport," and would be tempted to use that as the title. Attract them with the name, hook them with the plot summary! That said, the obvious phrase that came to my mind was "Wizard of Industry." If you're describing a sort of steampunk world (you don't quite specify), "Wizard of Steam" might make that clear. If you're picturing something more like the modern day, why not "Wizard of Steel" or "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Wizards"? Any business cliche will do. :)

@TeganHerrick, I really, really love your synopsis. I would totally love to read your novel when it's done. The only suggestion I would have, is "Stolen Time." I also like your own suggestion of "Tick, Tock, Time Machine." My first novel for the month is based on the fantasy roleplaying MUD Lensmoor. The main character, Adrion, is a high priest of the God of Artifice and Crafting (currently unnamed, and name suggestions are also welcome). The God was once a mortal, who gained immortality - and his immortality and powers were kept in a special arcadium amulet granted to him by the other Gods. The item is stolen, and Adrion sets off on a quest to get it back. Along the way, he gambles with the God of Charm, sets sail on a boat and gets involved in a fight with a notorious band of pirates, and fights a horde of zombies sent by a necromancer, before discovering that the Goddess of War has the amulet. Stealing from the once-Goddess of Thieves is not going to be an easy task... My current thought is something like "Adrion's Quest" or "The Arcadium Gem." Something more creative would be nice.

When one of them, a knight in the service of the king, is chosen to take a pilgrimage and become a Paladin, three of the friends go with him. One is a priest in the service of the church, one is an assassin, and one is a thief. The fifth friend left some years ago, and no one knows where he went. As the four travel along, they find that what they've been taught about good and evil isn't quite the truth, and reunite with Friend Five (a mage) in the process. Now wanted men, labeled heretics by the church, they have to find a way to free a captured god and save a nation. It's fantasy, in case you couldn't tell. XD

Unfortunately, she couldn't get accepted to anywhere but the community college where she lives. When her sister, Emma, comes home from the school of her dreams, Keely is the tiniest bit jealous. On the way home from the airport, both of their worlds are turned upside down. emma loses her sister, and Keely transfers by force of an SUV. She wakes up in the University, a school for people who died before they make their impact, and is thrown right back into her studies, well on her way to a discovery. But this school isn't as safe as everyone thought it was. Someone who isn't dead manages to enroll, and everything is thrown out of whack. Follow our protagonist as she tries to finish college, with the threat of nonexistence looming over her head. Any ideas?

I love your synopsis! The only title I can think of is "The Five" - which doesn't sound as epic as is deserved.... --- I'm also going to post my synopsis for title help! "Charlie Adams experiences a vivid video-game-like dream in which he must progress through 30 levels before he can wake up. After learning that his friends and family have experienced the same dream, he decides to get to the bottom of it and finds out that The Dream is actually a subliminal advertisement produced by the makers of the brand new, top of the range Sepian Neptune 7: The Best Phone on the Market. Charlie soon discovers that the release of the Sepian Neptune 7 and its accompanying marketing strategy has caused even more damage than he initially realized, as he soon discovers a beautiful other-worldly device under some unattended scaffolding at Picadilly Circus. By using this artefact, Charlie is shown the direct consequences of decisions he has yet to make, and can briefly see into a range of his possible futures. But when he is shown a future wherein London has fallen and the human race is unrecognisable, he has to come to terms with a new responsibility he has been chosen for..."

She thrives on her survival skills while growing up as an orphan. Due to the fact that she grew up alone, she has lost her sense of love. After stumbling upon a fellow hunter, Aden, they agree to stay with each other as hunting partners. He falls in love with her. But Sera does not think of him as anything more than a friend and refuses to get close to him. After awhile, Sera’s little sister, Paige, looses her life due to excessive bleeding after being caught in a bear trap. Sera’s world crumbles as her life means nothing to her anymore. She begins to trust Aden more and loosen up. They protect one another. As Aden confesses his love for Sera, she is stunned and unresponsive. He kisses her as Sera is still in shock, she kills him. Sera realized that she has found love. She commits suicide in reaction to her guilt. Thanks!

Here's the synopsis: While living in a village in the outskirts of a small country, Adalina keeps having dreams about the war that killed her parents and sister, even though it ended ten years ago. As the dreams become more vivid, Adalina realizes that they are not of the past...but of the future. As she races to the capital city to give warning of the coming attack, she learns more about her parents, of the world outside her home, and why she has the dreams.

@rsilverwood: Tomorrow is a Nightmare Riding the Nightmare To War on the Wings of a Dream Mine is Victorian vampire crack: In the winter of 1874, Idalia Aywlard is twenty years old and beginning to despair. She has no husband, not even any gentleman callers, and her father's dye business is floundering. Miss Aylward goes to visit her mother's grave on the day she is to put off mourning. Longing for comfort and guidance, Idalia begs God that she may see her mother's face one last time. Her prayers are answered - by a vampire. It's yet another of those "who are the real monsters here?" stories, where a character who starts out thinking "humans good like mommy, vampires bad and mean" learns to recognize the humanity in her enemy and the monster in herself. It's only a cliche if you do it wrong. Yeah.

@rsilverwood Of Wars and Nightmares Tonight's Nightmare, Tomorrow's Reality It just seems like such an impossible story to name.... Dray attends the Dileran School, a place she's been since she was three. Now sixteen, it's time for her Dedication Ceremony, a ritual all must go through before being placed in a caste, town, and occupation for the rest of his or her life, but first, she must complete her final exam -- a series of eight tasks, meant to show who she really is, must be completed and she must travel in an assigned group of six. But not everything is picture perfect like her books previously told her. The quest is dangerous and is capable of reducing people to an emotional and mental mess, thus removing them from the exam before the end with a low score. Dray begins to realize that she's not turning out the way society tells her she should be and that there's a special place for people like her, a place that can be avoided if she keeps her mouth shut and head down. The pull to tell someone about her speciality is growing stronger, however, and staying quiet might be her downfall. And in the quiet of the shadows, a man is ready to take over....

@Spacebabe: Thanks for the quick reply. Not really feeling "Mrs. Dracula", though...Idalia doesn't actually fall in love with a vampire. She ends this novel single. A proper virginal Victorian maiden. I think. Well, I'm planning for her to do so. She's meant to crush a bit on the vampire hunter, then learn he's really not such a great guy after all, and he dies. That could change, though. I'm sure others here are aware of how a character can get away from her author... Anyway, I was thinking something that sounds more Victorian, like "The Importance of Being Earnest" or "On the Origin of Species", except with vampires. I read a story called "Exasanguinations", and can only pray I come up with something equally epic and prim-sounding. I toyed with "Of Men and Monsters", but...there's a certain amount of campiness and seriousness vampire novels can handle, and I fear that "Of Men and Monsters" starts out with an overload of both.

Not quite a summary, but a some characters in search of a story: a girl who used to have the power to do anything she wanted, and did so, until other people of similar power got sick of cleaning up after her, tricked her, took away all her powers, and dumped her on a beach near a semi-deserted village in the middle of nowhere. Now she has to try and get by as something less than a human being with no life or social skills. Lots of trials and errors as she first tries to do things her old (extremely nasty way) and suffers immediate backlashes, until she notices that when doing positive things for sound reasons for *others* she can access an abraded form of her old power to help her out. She is considerably annoyed by this discovery and spends a deal of time kicking inanimate objects to relieve her feelings. And a pair of travelling strangers on the other side of the world - a practical-minded girl of grade school age and a strangely well-mannered twenty-something-ish constantly bemused-seeming young man - who seem to have gotten lost from another century - are running from a great evil and at the same time trying to destroy it before it destroys them and the universe with them. The four cross paths eventually, but it's not clear yet what'll happen when they do. Titles, anyone? Maybe if I have one it'll lead me to a plot :P

I could really use some help coming up with a title. so here's my synopsis: Grace Pryor is finally on her own and life outside of academia is starting better than she could have ever hoped. Everything seems to be coming together for her; job, apartment, and no one here knows about her mother. Grace Pryor is a witch for whom things are finally coming together for. Unfortunately not all of those things are good and more than one of them are out to kill Grace; but the council knows more than they speak of and send Grace help in the form of a bodyguard. Damon Ferguson is a security specialist and occasional bodyguard to the council. A vampire with a deep love of weapons, women and alcohol; he's seen and done a lot. Now the famous womanizer has new orders: protect Grace Pryor the witch who doesnt want his help but definitely needs it. @besasama maybe "Angel amongest them" or "Cracked mirrors" @mbc2014 maybe "Society's speciality" or "social veil"

Ok, so I recently changed my idea...and now I need a title, please and thank you! It's not very detailed, but I only came up with it this morning: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Linus Maverick has a problem. And not just any ordinary old, run-of-the-mill problem. He's plagued...with an Author. Sir Linus just wants to live his life, but the Author is always there, telling him what adventures to go on, who to fall in love with and, possibly worst of all, what colour to paint his walls. Will Sir Linus ever learn to get along with his Author? Will they be able to work together for both their sakes? Only time will tell... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, NfG

icarus_suraki — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:21:03 +0100

@Sporkdelis "Dead Is Forever" is actually a really good title, I think. But! In the spirit of the game:\ My So-Called Afterlife The Humans Are Coming Modern Life ...I'm going a bit ironic here, though I'm not sure that's quite what you're looking for... ### Anyone want to help me out? My synopsis sucks, but what can you do? Once upon a time, a wanted man walked in off the desert more dead than alive and with a hanging-wound on his neck. He would have died in the street if that red-headed whore hadn't taken him in and hidden him. Once upon a time, that same man's brother and their long-time partner went into the hills of the desert when the law got too close and life in town got too hot for them. Only one of them came out again and he refused to tell the tale of what happened to that brother. Once upon a time, a soldier went west for a red-headed woman who had set her own value at that of two dollars. Drink and games were more faithful to him. In desperation at last, he took on a job from where he need only kill a certain man when he went to hide in the hills. No one would know. He wouldn't need to fear the law or the gallows. Once upon a time, a friend set out to hang another to protect himself and a secret those three shared and a disgraced soldier cut him down. Once upon a time, a man got dealt a better hand than he deserved and fate let him play it in the hopes of revenge. Once upon a time, a stranger rode into town... (ILU Sergio Leone ;; )

@fire.bug24 How about something short snappy like Alone or Absense? Or maybe In The Absense of Life? So mine has a title atm, but it's just a working title. I'd be intrigued to see what you can come up with. As a dastardly plague spreads it's way through the Beaumont region, the desperate King Alistair is struggling to find the cure. His calls upon the mages and the healers have been ignored and the war between the two northern regions has rendered it impossible to seek their aid. The dwarves refuse to surface during the pandemic, the selfish act they became infamous for during the Land War five hundred years previous and the elves know only of healing magic for their own breed. The King knows there's only thing left to try: to hunt out the mythical Prophet Seekers, marked as traitors Without evidence of their continued existence, and the threat of revolt for permitting the traitors back by his side, the King must make the ultimate decision, save his Kingdom with the aide of the Prophet Seekers or die in vane, fighting for the lost cause. What he finds in Athelia Marić and Enola Goldring however, is far more than he'd ever anticipated, and aside from finding the cure to the plague, a whole new battle, a whole new civil war could be on the horizon.

Umm, what about, like, Tough Choices or What's Right? I'm sorry thats pretty bad, my brain feels fried ): I have absolutly no idea for mine... A Council of Enchanters oversee the land of Taumta. They need more power to bind the King to his throne and prevent rebellions, because they use him as their pawn. Most of them have selfish intents, but not all. They use their power to divine the location of an enchanter with enough power to help them. They find a girl of 15 who doesn’t realize she has this power. She’s an unwanted in her village because strange things happen around her. They decide to send a group to go to her village and find her. They argue on a good course of action and (one of them) end up kidnapping her. After arguing a while, they take her away, but don’t tell her why because they are afraid she’ll use her power to defeat them. This frustrates her so she attempts to run away several times, but eventually they become friends. She learns the truth and feels betrayed (full of hilarity, of course), but uses her power to restore a rightful king to the throne (one of her companions? I don’t know…)

@magically.yours How about: Plague of War Battle for Salvation Broken Kingom The Calling Kings and Traitors Survival's Edge (or my personal choice:) A Cure for Indifference It seems to me that the heart of your story is the King's choice to call upon these traitors who may not even exist, and the unwillingness of everyone else to help. I think a good title for it would put the focus on the king's struggle, the decision. Hope that helps. My story (with a sloppy working title): A woman, Ana, is haunted by the paintings of her former lover. She is pursued by authorities to aid in the investigation of multiple murders, all the crimescenes of which feature paintings of a woman and an address on the back. The murdered and missing women in the investigation, along with the paintings of the woman, just happen to fit her profile. The address on each painting leads to Ana's mother's house. The facts: The paintings are on the same paper and by the same artist as the ones in Ana's collection. Each painting at the crime scene was freshly painted. The handwriting of the address on the back is different from the handwriting of the artist's signature. Could it be that someone is framing Ana's lover for murder? Could she herself be a target? Will her perspective of her lover change if he is committing these murders?

She soon finds, however, that the King's motives for war against the elves are less than noble, and he that weeds out anyone who finds themselves against him. Branded a traitor and forced to flee for her life, Saelin starts down the dangerous path of opposing the man who seems unopposable.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

@lynna52 -Behind The Crown -Trustworthy Traitors And for the record, your story sounds awesome! Gahh, so many to read so little time! ;) But your's makes my top ten list. My (cheesier than lynna52's) story: BACK STORY: Orin is a young squire of fifteen who has struggled to meet expectations throughout his life. Things started going wrong when Orin was but a baby. His mother, Dahlia, had been in love with the Duke of a neighboring kingdom. The relationship did not last and Dahlia later found out she was pregnant with his son, Orin. She hated Orin and blamed him for her lover leaving her. She was driven mad with agony and attempts to murder Orin while still in her belly with the use of Dark Magic but does not succeed. After Orin is born, Dahlia tries to kill Orin one last time by stabbing him with a dagger as he sleeps peacefully in his crib. Her brother, King Cedric, discovers her in the act and stops her. Regrettably, Cedric has Dahlia locked away for practice of Dark Magic and Attempted Murder. For anyone else the punishment would have been death but Cedric couldn't bring himself to do it. After a year locked away in a dungeon cell Dahlia's once beautiful blonde hair has turned raven black along with her soul. She escapes the dungeon and is never heard from again. PRESENT TIME: Fifteen years later, Orin has been raised like a prince by his Uncle, King Cedric, alongside his cousin Aiden. Orin received a high-class education in all subjects (Except literature, due to a bad childhood incident with poetry) and was trained in horseback riding, swords, archery, and the like. Orin always tried his best in these activities but could somehow never quite measure up to Aiden, who was skilled at just about everything from charming the court to beating the other squires in a game of Chess. Orin however does have one skill that Aiden is lacking in, and that is throwing daggers. Orin, being unaware of his origins, fails to understand the snickers and shakes of the head that people give when he is roaming about the kingdom. His confidence is failing, he feels lost and hidden behind Aiden, and all his life people have told him he will never be good enough. All of this changes when his Uncle suddenly falls deathly ill on the eve of Aiden's sixteenth birthday, the age when a squire is sent out on a quest that he must complete to become a knight. The only cure to the illness is a concoction made of a rare plant only found in the mountain ranges of Alkazeth. Aiden offers to take up the quest of finding the plant but King Cedric insists that it is Orin's destiny. For the first time in his life someone has confidence in Orin. But will he be able to meet their expectations? THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORIN AND AIDEN: Aiden is naturally a more likable person. He is good looking, loyal, kind, generous, a skilled fighter, and wise when it comes to making decisions. However, Orin is almost the complete opposite. Years of torment and being mocked have built up inside him, and even though none of it is really Aiden's fault, Orin blames Aiden for his problems. Aiden and Orin grew up together as brothers, living under the same roof and sharing the same father. Aiden loves and respects Orin like a brother and would never want any harm to Orin of any kind. Orin is aware of this and deep down really loves Aiden as well. But his fear and jealousy keep him from being able to live in peace with Aiden. There is a constant inner struggle between the part of Orin that loves Aiden and the part that hates him.

Okay so if ya'll could help me with this I would appreciate it very much. I would like something short for the title but whatever you come up with is fine. Lana lives in the magic land of Indova, in the poor farming community of Belholt, where women are only treaty fairly if they are pretty or wealthy all across the kingdom. She has discovered that she was blessed with the power of magic by Brielle, the forgotten goddess . In Indova, the most powerful magic user always becomes King. But the King has recently died, and the government is unable to find another magic using man. Until they find the powerful Lana. Now desperate for a King, the government must decide whether to follow their women-hating morals, or to have her be King and save the kingdom. As a woman, my views are not anti-feminist, obviously. Don't worry.

Then they all fall ill to a plague which ironically doesn't affect her. Thus she becomes their only hope for survival. She is the only one who can find the cure. So she travels to the dangerous land of Dragonia to find a scale and a blossom from the great tree. There she finds our the truth about the intelligence of dragonkind, learns what it means to be loved, and finally reveals the truth about who she is. She befriends wizards and wielders and dragons alike. She Sees the future and the past. Magic in its most captivating forms swirls throughout the pages. Lies, misunderstandings, deciet, and conspiracies couple with trust, friendship, truth, and beauty to create a world that she can finally feel like a part of, discovering her abilities, both magical and otherwise. Its current name is just Dragonia, but is there anything you think could be better?

My novel is about a shy high school senior, named Caleb, who happens to be the younger stepbrother of Michael, who was incredibly popular at the same school (but dropped out three years ago). The two had a falling out, and Michael's delinquent tendencies got so out of control that his mother decided to send him to another state to live with relatives shortly after Michael dropped out. Just as Caleb starts to step out of the shadow of Michael's popularity, Michael's ex girlfriend- and Caleb's longtime crush- pursues a relationship with him. But Katherine has a reputation for promiscuity, and in addition to nightmares and a fear of his stepbrother, Caleb has an intense fear of sex. So he shakes her off, and tries to resume normal life. But Michael returns, moving in with his mother and stepfather as if nothing ever happened, and Caleb's nightmares and anxieties intensify. Michael tries to win Katherine back, begins to charm Caleb's friends into preferring him, and basically acts like a typical jerk stepbrother. But Katherine makes a confession to Caleb; one that explains her sudden breakup with Michael. And they realize that they share the same disturbing secret, and Caleb struggles to face it- to deal with his family's heartbreaking reactions to it, to ensure that Michael will never lay a hand on anyone else again, and to overcome the pain he silently endured. ********************************** My working title is "When the cat returns" and it's a follow-up on "When the cat's away, the mice will play", with Michael being the cat, and Caleb the mouse that gains popularity and starts to date the cat's ex-girlfriend (which is pretty fun!), but I'm worried that the title is lame or stupid. And, if it helps, the main theme of the story is coping with sexual abuse.

@mjohnston - Liar, Liar That's all I can come up with because of your short synopsis :/ @AwayLaughing I love you for your Tom Hiddleston avatar. Anyway xD - Into the Old Woods - Endless Dark I like the title you have though, it ties with the story :D And I have to say that the end of your synopsis, with the use of the rhyme, really gave me chills, that's awesome and creepy.

I really want to read your novel o.o It sounds fascinating. As for names, here's some suggestions that I offer tentatively- Certain Madness Hidden Threats 30 Gone Deeper Darkness My plot: (written quickly, I'm hoping to edit and make it sounds more interesting :P) LK lives in a time where technology and advanced medicine are a distant memory. The world around her is struggling to rebuild after a war nearly brought about the apocalypse. The current government saw no other way to prevent their utter destruction but to remove and eradicate all knowledge that led up to the Global Wars. A system was invented and set in place, referred to as the New Age, where time was reversed and the militia was once again dependent on swords and horses. From the day her brother was drafted, she has wanted nothing more than to train in the New Age army. After her mother is killed by her father for committing treason, LK searches for a way to escape. But the only females accepted in the army are of the Kai'lan clan. Through connections on the streets, she learns of a Black Market, where she can buy a new identity and finally get her wish to become a knight. The innocent dream quickly spirals down as she's caught up in the web of a crumbling system and a powerful revolution. --- For now I refer to it as 'New Age', but I'm not sure if that's what I want to call it. I feel like it's a cop out. Any suggestions?

How about "Of Kings and Prophets" Or to go a little left field with the origins of the name Alistair, perhaps a take on an Alexander the Great quote. "An Army of Lions" (from I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep, I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.)

I'm pretty bad at coming up with good titles, but these are some suggestions: In My Head All I See Is You All I (N)ever Wanted I'm still working on my synopsis, but this is what I have so far: 15 year old Alora has been living her whole life in a dream. She has never really been able to feel emotions, until now. Keisuke has moved next door to Alora from Japan, and he knows almost no English. When Alora starts to tutor Keisuke, she realizes that she won't be the only one teaching. As they dig deep into the lie-ridden mysteries of their intertwined paths, their situation becomes life or death.

L - I - F - E Spells Death? It's a combination of the tutoring/danger with a bit of irony. But it may be lame. My Novel Background: Okay, so basically, my novel takes place in a medieval fantasy world, in the country of Caldera. Caldera is run by the King or Queen, and under them are fifty-eight Lords, collectively known as the Council, which act as a sort of senate. Now for the synopsis: The old King of Caldera has been dead for two years, leaving his twenty-five year old daughter, Liliana, in charge of the country. Many of the Lords attempt to manipulate her, but she proves to be stronger than they thought, with her own ideas, making enemies. Garrett is a young lord, appointed to his place because of distinguished military service, and a close friend of the Princess. After a heated meeting of the Lords and the Princess, one of the Lords attempts to kill her, but is stopped by Garrett. Garrett sends the Princess out of the city, just until he can find who is responsible. Five days later, Caldera is invaded by a combination of armies from other countries, and revolutionaries within the country itself. Many members of the Council are involved. Garrett attempts to remain in the city under a low profile, but the corrupt Lords have him and all their other enemies within the Council arrested. Garrett manages to escape with some of the others, and together they must figure out a way to retake the country. I am completely blanking on a name...

The humans, not being able to understand the telepathy, can feel whatever emotion the aliens are going through, and believe the emotions are their own. The humans take one creature to study it, and the creatures hunt down the humans to get their own back.

Loves Trials Of love and War .... gosh, i'm not good at titles :-( my synopsis is: This is a fun humorous madcap tale of twin sisters. Identical twin sisters Tyler and Harper have not spoken in almost 20 years. One teaches at the exclusive St Catherine’s military Academy in New York. The other is a Showgirl in Atlantic City. But when their Grandparents request they each come to California, they agree. The only stipulation, if they want to stay in the will, is that they must drive there together, along Route 66, in a vintage corvette convertible. Along the way they fight & argue. They deal with car problems, men problems, wrong turns and more. But as they deal with the calamity and mayhem along the way, they mend their decade’s long dispute, and as they reach Santa Monica Pier they find out they are not as different as they thought.

Hannah is a 20 something with a somewhat dismal future ahead of her. She is training to become a nurse at a local community college. She never flirted with any dreams or wishes but one day she meets a rather mysterious Englishman named Aldrich. Aldrich is in his 50s and plays an extremely rare instrument called the carillon. Hannah is suddenly drawn in by Aldrich and the bells and at her terminally ill mother's urging, begins to take lessons on the carillon from Aldrich. Hannah eventually suffers the loss of both Aldrich and her mother, Charlotte, but becomes a world famous musician because of the lessons Aldrich taught her. Here's a carillon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carillon (the photo on the right of the wiki is of "Cast in Bronze", the act that inspired this novel). My working title is Heart of the Bells but it seems a little...corny.

My 2011 novel synopsis (not very well written but it's midnight and I'm still simmering from a very VERY rude and angry customer at work earlier) Through a series of rather unfortunate circumstances, a clumsy water fairy named Ivory happens upon a magic portal into another world. This unusual world does not welcome her with open arms and, in fact, considers her to be a little crazy, but harmless. Ivory becomes human and because portals are so picky about where they place themselves, no fairy that's been transported into the human world has ever found a portal out of it. Since she has so little choice, she adopts a surname and is cared for by two old fairies. Agatha, a celestial fairy, is a stern, motherly type who is just trying to protect Ivory. Darla is a chubby, gossipy, Baptist to tries to save her soul. Both of the well-meaning fairies try to teach Ivory about how to survive in the human world. But she has a mind of her own and is determined to make the world a lovelier place to live, and, for those who cross her path, she does.

kkylie, maybe you could call your story something like, "Finding Fairy Wings," or "Mundane Magic." I dunno. I'm terrible with titles, which is why I'm posting here! :D I kinda like your working title. Maybe tweak it a bit, to say something about she's kinda sprinkling pixie dust on everyone she encounters? I'm not sure how you'd do that, though. Please don't judge me for my synopsis, guys. I'm terrible at summing up stories without giving away everything. >.> And it's 3am! Yay. Raelynn is just your average girl by day. She goes to school, has a job, tries to maintain a social life. She is normally very active, trying to keep her mind focused on anything but her dreams. She's always had very vivid dreams, and they usually end very badly. For the last few days however, her dreams have been taking her to the same place... over and over again. The people there tell her she is part of some prophecy, which she thinks is totally bogus. It's all just a dream, right? Though the lines of fantasy and reality begin to blur when Raelynn starts seeing things from her dreams. First it's out of the corner of her eye, then it's looking people from her dream world square in the face. Raelynn must figure out what is reality and what is fantasy, and she has to do it fast. She must deal with what could be a world entirely separate from our own, and she must decide to which world she truly belongs.

However, the evil fairies delay their plans as they have taken Rubathy and her friends' families as prisoners. And thats the synopsis SO far, i've got other ideas but couldnt work them into this blurb. Any title ideas? 'Mystical Mayhem' is an option so far... but maybe it would be better as a chapter title though.

He hates every second at first, but eventually realises there's a good side to the Navy - and finds out more about his past. There's a better description on my profile, but not having a title is driving me loony - the name 'Powder Monkey' has already been used by two books, so I can't have that, but my mind's gone blank as to what else I could call it...

Ok, people, I do have a title for my story but it is only because I needed one. Here is the synopsis: "The vampires' existence is now known by the humans. However, curiosity and fear lead them to hunt known vampires and do experiments on them. Alex, called the Angel of the Devil, is fed up with the hunting and wants to end all this. Though, after many years of fighting and traps, Alex wants to give up. Even though he is a vampire, he loses more than he wanted." Well, that's not great. As a title, I thought "Night Vision" but I'm not sure it'll cover every side of the story. Thanks for your help. :D

Hi, I have a temporary title for my book (Oliver James: Nearly 16), but I'm not sure I like it so I was wondering if you had any ideas? This is a teenage fiction book about a boy (Oliver James) Who is nearly 16. He lives in London and is the life ad soul of the party. It's basically the story of him going from 15 to 16 and the girls and friends he encounters. He has an on-off relationship with a girl called Layla, he strings her a long telling her he loves her but he doesn't really and he has a best friend called Alex. Alex is the reason Oliver is so popular, he isn't a very nice person at heart but people like to hang out with him. I was also thinking of doing making the last chapter 20/30 year old Oliver looking back on what he's written and commenting on how petty it all is, or something like that. Go on my profile if you'd like an excerpt :) Sorry I couldn't give you more, I haven't written it yet :P -Serafina

I think that a good name for your book could be "What Really Matters," that is if your focusing on pettyness and such. I think it'd be great to have him writing from his 30 year old self about his 15 and 16 year old self and see what he would have done and what meant the most.... maybe? What do you think?

I have a title for this year's NaNo work, but in December I will be preparing to send LAST year's NaNo novel out to be self published. At the moment i'm calling it "Renaissance Faire" but i don't think it completely fits. Here's my synopsis for it (spoiler alert hehe). Sammie (Samantha) and her best friend Vaughn are actors in their local Renaissance Faire. Through a simultaneous magical event, both are transported back in time to a 1580's MidSummer festival in Elizabethan England, where all the actors of the faire now believe that they are really the people they were only pretending to be. This includes Sammie's fiance, Johnny, who now believes he is really the bloodthirsty and tyrannic Sheriff Jamison Kent. Sammie and Vaughn try to find answers to how they were transported back in time, and they are both declared heretics and traitors with death sentences put on their heads. Now they must survive their death sentences, the heat, and Sammie's asthma to find their way home. Along the way, they also find love with each other. I look forward to seeing what people come up with for this. My favorite will end up on the book when i self publish it :D

I thought similarly, like "Witness In Deep"... something playing off the double meaning of being "in deep" just seems perfect. Either way, it's certainly a crazy premise -- which I couldn't mean as more of a compliment; unique and interesting would probably be the tamer way of saying it, but 'crazy' is more accurate, and again, totally a compliment. Good luck!

Okay, so my story is about a woman who got a chance to go back and change one event from her life. she was in a car accident when she was 17 that ended up killing her boyfriend who was with her in the car. when she comes back to current time,she finds that her town is being terrorized by a band of soldiers who have been physicaly and mentally mutated due to government experiments. she comes to find out eventually that the man she saved is responsible for all this because he ended up with a severe and random mental illness which caused him to create these mutants on accident. she feels responsible for it, and goes to hunt him down and kill him in order to stop these experiments, all the while fighting with what is really right and wrong.

Alice Iceflower — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 17:42:40 +0100

I was hoping someone would have an original idea for a title for my story :) It is a historical romance set in medieval England. The summary is make-shift, as I didn't take the time yet to think properly about it. 1219, Norwich, England. Alis finally gets the chance to fulfill her rather unusual dream of becoming a bladesmith, but as she is thrown in the world of men, she meets a lot more than the disdain she had feared and expected. She struggles to prove herself to her master and can't help being attracted to him. Things get out of hand when rumours start and she finds herself without people to go to, least of all her master. On top of that, the secret he's been keeping is treathening to affect not only him, but the whole city... My working title is simply 'Alis', as I couldn't find something else to properly describe it. It her story, about her love for making swords, the story of her falling in love, her development to someone who has to make her own decisions, the choices she has to make... I'm curious!

@ softballbird -The Guilty Right -Mutant Guilt -Changed for Good Sorry. I don't have any better suggestions. I'm really bad with titles, hence why I'm here. My summary might be a bit confusing, but the plot really needs a novel just to be explained. It's a romance, mystery, adventure type novel. Please help. Alexandra and her cousins have been running endlessly for the last year from the mysterious killer that incinerated their parents and grandparents the summer previous. A lifestyle of filled with danger, uncertainty, and necessary crime leads Alexandra to run into an old love, who is now the CEO of a hotel empire, at one of his hotels one day. She is terrified by the guilt that the memories of her relationship bring, and is still in love with him. He spots her and is determined to not let her slip away from him this time. Alexandra worries that the seeing Darren will tempt her to stop the roaming lifestyle that keeps her and her cousins alive, and that her presence in Darren's life will endanger him too. Darren does everything in his power to protect and help Alexandra and her cousins and unravel the secrets of the murder of their family, while attempting to rekindle the romance that he had with Alexandra once upon a time.

@kaitlyn3: Seems like yours has a predominant fire theme/imagery...the killer's method + standard metaphor for danger & for romance. So, possibly: - Embers (what remains when the fire burns down - Alex & her cousins surviving/relationship that's supposedly over) - Still the Flame(s) (lots of multiple meanings here. Still = continuing to be vs. stop moving/die down. Flames - singular or plural - danger vs. romance. One thing dies down; the other continues; the story works out which is which.) - Like Sparks Among Tinder (again imagery for the fleeing survivors - sparks flying from a fire - and foreboding of what's coming - things are about to flare up again.)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

grammarqueen90 — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:27:23 +0100

I can definitely use some help on a title! Here's the basic synopsis: The Kingdom of Kabuul is divided. King Kib, the rightful king, has been imprisoned for 25 years, and his son Titus has been ruling the country with an iron fist. Kib and his son born in captivity, Seth, must escape from their prison, gather an army, and find a way to overthrow Titus and restore order to Kabuul. For more details, the story focuses on Seth, the 16 year old prince. It follows him as he journeys with his father and a mage (but Seth doesn't know he's a mage), and it's really about Seth's personal growth. They start to gather a following of people to help overthrow Titus, but stop when they find out Seth's mother has been captured and is going to be hanged for treason. So they travel to the palace to try to save her, and eventually in the end it boils down to a fight between Seth and Titus. There is some magic, but it's pretty restricted to mages and some magical creatures. It will play a bigger role in the sequel though, so I want to have the groundwork established in this novel. Thanks for any help, I'm really at a loss!

Anyone want to help me come up with a name for my summary? A girl names Taylin lives in a futuristic, isolated community in which everything the people do is controlled by a group called "The Council". The people are told when to go to school, what job they have to do, and even whether they can get married and have children. And they're all supposed to be totally happy about it. Taylin isn't happy. When The Council picks up on this, she is threatened with The Re-education Center for Discontent. Rather than going there and being brainwashed, she escapes the community with her friend Kato. They discover a different, happy community, and eventually decide to go back and free their community from the oppression of The Council.

I'm still trying to find a name for last year's novel, plus one for this year's novel, which is a sequel to last year's. Last year's plot: Two boys are taken from their parents at birth by a special organization that recognizes and raises children with "gifts." (More specifically, magical talents, but it's not magic in the book, that's just the only way I can describe it.) The two sets of parents are told that their sons have died. Flash forward fifteen years. The two boys are now living at a home with other "gifted" children, aware that they have parents, but never wanting them or having any desire to find them. However, both of their families have gone on to have more children, and the two younger sisters of the boys uncover a secret that should never have been revealed. Suddenly aware that the sons they thought died are still alive, the parents set off to find their sons. But what if their sons don't [i]want[/i] to come home? And in the meanwhile, a mysterious figure is kidnapping the "gifted" children, and it's up to the two boys to save the day, while trying to avoid being caught by the villain... and their parents. --------------------- Still trying to find a title for that one. This year's is a sequel to the above story. ---------------------- The two boys have been reluctantly returned to their parents, but adjusting to their new surroundings, new found parents and siblings, and new school is difficult. Plus, all is not well with the Home they just left. A young boy appears with disturbing news from their past, and letters from their friends at the home they grew up in dwindle and cease. As the two have trouble coping with their new life, on top of it all, they find themselves facing total separation for the first time in their lives. Will the mysterious connection between the boys hold once they're apart? What is this mysterious force corrupting the Home? Who is this captivating stranger? And who is the mysterious Mitchell Sparks? ------------------ I really would love some title help! The themes of both stories revolve around what truly makes up a family, with a little bit of a plot twists about secret pasts and con men. =)

Thinking about changing my title, at the moment I have 'a moments ornament' any other ideas would be helpful! Synposis: At 37, Natascha would typically be seen as 'past her best' in terms of prostitution however, she's still brings in the clients after starting out in this world at the age of 15. Although she had been desperate to get out of the business, she's kept under the watchful eye of Daniel, who after her last failed escape landed her in hospital for a week. However, when Henry turns up, asking for a woman of Natascha's description, something about her draws him in. He ends up becoming Natascha's main client, often spending double to have her for a night rather than a matter of hours, spending the nights typically holding her with whisperings of a promise to get her out of this world. A promise, Natascha knows he will never keep as she's been promised this by numerous men over the past 22 years and even if she wants to believe he's different. She was brought up better than to believe in happily ever afters.

Here's my synopsis: It’s 1968, and God wanders the earth as a troubled human, rarely drawing attention, but always observing. He makes a point of not intervening in the lives of others, but due to one mistake he makes at a riot in Derry, Northern Ireland, he becomes irreversibly involved in the Troubles; in the lives of one girl and one boy in particular. Anna is a Protestant. For as long as she's understood the situation, she's found herself unavoidably and unwillingly thrown into the violence occurring in her country. She can't help but wonder what's happening on the other side of the conflict, in the Catholic neighbourhoods, despite warnings from her Protestant friends to not let her curiosity get the better of her. Damian is a Catholic. After witnessing his older brother, along with a group of IRA sympathisers, attack an innocent civilian, he realises he's been following in the footsteps of his brother for too long, and vows to forge his own path, however many enemies he may make. God made a mistake, but the rest is up to them.

Starting with the death of her mother during a visit from King Rian and then the hanging of her father for a false accusation of treason. Elianna finds herself first dumped unceremoniously in an orphanage and then waiting on the courtesans of the kingdom, destined to become one of their rank. But her deep hatred for the man who pushed her from her comfortable life and has ignored his people for wealth and women pushes her to find the ultimate revenge.

She has no intention of marrying somebody she hardly knows. So she disguises herself as a man and runs away to Denver.

Confusion reigns as he finds himself drawn to her even though he thinks she is a man. Thanks

This is a great thread because my titles are always pathetic at best. Synopsis: It's mainstream fiction boy meets girl type of story. A NYPD detective is investigating a case and meets a young female doctor on vacation from Chicago. He's a man with a troubled background and edgy (think Philip Marlow) and she's a very conservative Catholic woman.They see each other a few times in NY and then she heads back home to Chicago too embarassed about her "fling" to tell anyone about it. Their lives are intertwined though because she's pregnant and doesn't want him to know or find out about it. She's determined to raise the child herself. An accidental meeting in Chicago brings him back into the picture though. I hadn't realized how cliched that sounded until I typed it up. I do have some ideas that will give it an interesting twist but that's too much detail for now.

(This is just the germ of an idea.) Lottie is 84 years old and lives in the same charming village where she grew up, married and raised her three daughters. But now, she is widowed, and, like her own children, all of the young people are moving into the cities for the challenge of high-powered careers. Main Street is starting to look like down and out boulevard, something, as head of the preservation society, Lottie can't abide. But now, one daughter has been left at the altar and, though terribly unjust, lost her job in the process as well. Another daughter is only now recovering from a unforeseen divorce, and writes a self-help column from her home, because she's become a just bit agoraphobic. Her youngest, the speed dater, has dated over 100 men in one year and has totally given up on love. Well, what else did they expect in the big, impersonal cities? Lottie decides that she is going to lure her daughters back to Willoughby, where there is a wealth of handsome, hard-working real men looking for a wife in this tiny town. A little financial inducement would be all it takes to bring her troubled girls home. Look out, Willoughby. Here come the brides. Book #1- When an obsessive advertising executive loses the big account, her big time job and her big bucks fiancé all a week before her really big, expensive wedding—something’s gotta give. Her finances. Her Hermes wallet now empty, she retreats to her small hometown and walks into a grocery store, unaware that her life is about to change completely when a shopper introduces to her to couponing. Very quickly she learns the tricks and skills that allow her to walk out of a store with everything she wanted and more money in her pocket. Her obsession with couponing is taken to the extreme when she uses her skills to acquire enough tickets to a charity auction to win a date with the hottest bachelor in town, a congressman, her former high school boyfriend who jilted her the night before the prom.

I actually have a title for this, but I was hoping you guys would give me something a tad better... David Lendon suddenly finds himself an orphan at the age of fifteen in NYC. When he runs away to Chicago to escape his father's legacy, he finds a mysterious gang of newsboys called the Bones. Soon, David finds himself in the midst of what could be the biggest gang fight in Chicago history, which of course ends up happening right smack in the middle of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Any help would be appreciated! Oh, by the way, the current title is The Bones.

Synopsis, urban fantasy: Lucy, an office worker, starts seeing odd things - a building no one else can see, a man in black who seems to roam the parking garage guarding something, a red-headed woman who appears to be watching her. Soon her imagination is creating realistic images that others can see, and bringing imaginary creatures to life. When she finds out there is a source of great power nearby that is causing these happenings, boosting a latent power she has, she knows she has to help protect the fragile power. The Citadel, a secret organization, has already destroyed similar beings of powers in other cities, and now seeks to find and destroy this one. This leads Lucy not only on a journey to find and protect the source of the power, but also to self-discovery as she learns to harness this new imaginative power inside her.

Here's my plot~ To catch you guys up- my Nano follows Arthur Ubiquitous, a art curator living in Cardiff who wakes up to an entirely different universe. The catch is that every day Arthur wakes up in a different universe, and eventually finds Miloch E. Cantunbury, a eccentric young man who has the same problem. When the two start waking up in the same universes, they begin devising a plan to get back to their own worlds, but one of them falls in love and ends up wanting to stay in the parallel universe- and through all this time, the two aren't even sure if they're from the same world- or the same universe. After all, if even one thing is different in the other's universe, it means that it's entirely different and the two will never meet in real life. Although it's essentially a bromance sci-fi adventure romp through space and time, there is, of course, the subplot of Miloch falling in love with someone in an alternate universe- and ultimately, having to choose between living a stable life in the same universe without them, or living in the alternate universes with them, not knowing how their relationship or even the other person will change from day to day. It's also got a sleeper agent named Buttercup and a golden retriver named Amadeus and a ton of art history and goofy Miloch knowing a bunch of random facts and doing silly things all over the universe and angst and people turning into inanimate objects in different universes, but that's pretty much all I have! Erm, yeah. A title would be SO helpful at this point!

Anybody got ideas for this? Life has never been normal for Sylvia.

Just when she thinks life can't get much weirder, Max starts seeing things. Strange things. Things that really shouldn't be there. These things lead the trio into a world even more bizzare than they could have imagined.

Mary just your ordinary sullen, depressed teenager with a love for writing and a passion for coffee. Which is a good thing since she never sleeps. Misunderstood and ignored what will happen when she discovers she has magical powers? Jane is overenthusiastic about everything in live. With an attitude like that you would assume her life was pretty awesome. Think again. Her mother always yelling, her father dead, and a brother who hates her because of this. What would happen is she suddenly acquired magical powers. When an evil scientist discovers these girls powers, he kidnaps them and forces them to preform in a circus show. Armature Magicians he calls them. How will the girls escape? Will they be able to save other witches and wizards who may fall into Dr. Wick's trap. The book is going to focus mostly on how they become a witches, and join a witches society (all teen girls). Then they get capture my an evil man, and our forced to preform in a circus. When he discovers there may be more of them, can the girls find away to save their own kind? Any title ideas?

@LivelyLiz -- Circus Tricks Amateur Magicians Magical Lives Finding Magic My synopsis -- Caelan is a boy growing into a man, aged 18 he finds himself in the middle of constant conflict. With both parents deceased and the new tribe leader taking the tribe on a path away from the gods, his best friend Zhai is his only positive point in the world. That was until an Otak'Sae (a malevolent storm spirit) took Zhai from him during a wild night returning from a hunt. The new tribe leader saw his chance to be rid of the thorn in his side and banished Caelan with claims that he had in fact murdered Zhai. Finding himself entirely alone in the world Caelan feels he has no choice but to go to the gods themselves at the end of the Earth and right all the wrongs around him. After trekking through the mountain pass he finds himself confronted with something far bigger than the house of the gods - there's a whole other world out there. Caelan remains determined on his quest to find the gods and sets out to cross the immense wilderness he never knew existed.

A group of neighborhood kids meets every week to play based off of books various members have read. (They always get the book wrong.) The games get out of control, sometimes ending in injury, other times just ending with the parents looking badly. For example, they would steal from their parents and beat each other up while playing Oliver Twist, cause a fight between two of the families while playing Romeo and Juliet, or convince everyone that they stumbled across a "murder" in the woods while playing Sherlock Holmes. All I can think of us The Book Club. Any suggestions?

I need help! (And not the mental kind.) I've been banging my head against my desk for days trying to come up with title for this sucker! Jist: Things have been bad in the Arreson family before, but never this bad. When Allison's dad beats her mother to death and vanishes, Ally's made into the prime suspect and forced go on the lam. Along the way she meets up with teenage runaways, know only as Astrid, the leader, and Onyx, the distant. They might not have the most legal habits but they're certainly not your usual textbook deviants. With the help of her new traveling partners, her own smarts, and bunch of luck, Ally might just find her dad before the boys in blue give her and her pals some silver bracelets.

What about reworking a famous quote from one of the books? And I know this isn't great, but the first example that comes to mind is It's Elementary School, Watson. (Not sure how old your kids are) Or something like that? The Book Club sounds too much like a book about middle-aged divorced women sitting around in someone's living room ranting bitterly about romance novels. :/

@MeganTheNerd -- for some reason, first idea that came to mind was Dodging Bullets. >.> not sure why. other thoughts! Framed Daddy Dearest Hunting Dad (or Tracking Dad) My synopsis: 16-year-old narcoleptic Melika Hale wakes up in a field beneath Mt. Rainier, covered in blood, with no memory of the past hour. She soon learns that her classmate Hope was murdered. Nobody knows that Hope was Melika's first kiss. Desperate to find the killer, Melika drives the local police crazy with her theories. Meanwhile, Melika's usual sleeplessness-induced hallucinations are getting worse. When Melika dreams a warning from a superstitious former neighbor telling her that the gods have chosen Melika as the pawn in their next reenactment, her search for a culprit takes her into the shelves of folklore. The more Melika learns about the ancient legends of the Pacific Northwest, and those of her parents' native Hawaii, the more she starts to wonder if the answer lies closer to home. After all, the gods often hurt the ones they loved... Working title is Tears in the Ash (or Ashes), but that sounds a little too emo for my taste... Basically I'm trying to play off of Pele's Tears (bits of volcanic glass that form in lava ashes), but I don't want to use the name Pele in the title because that's sort of a secret until later....

For ahallworth's story perhaps: "Litterary Mishaps" Anyway, here's my idea: The tenth generation officers of a very strange and miscellaneous high school club find a strange series of "Manuals" left behind by the founding members of the club beneath a floorboard in their designated club room on campus. As they begin to read, they find that the Manuals tell of the origins of the club, its strange secrets and the biographies of its members. Each of the manuals tells the story behind the club's various rules and the roles of each of the officers. Basically I'm writing a Prequel/Backstory to an actual story I plan to write in the future.

@ACNotmyinitials: The first thing I thought of was 'Floorboards', because they find the manuals under the floor, and because the manuals are about the founding of the club. *shrug* Mine has several working titles since I've reworked the plot. Currently it's "The Trouble with Everything". "All shapeshifters have but one second form. One animal. Their other half. Except for the allshifters. The allshifters can change into almost any animal, an ability that gives them very much power...and exposes them to uncountable dangers. As far as 15-year-old Lailah Shepherd knows, she's just a regular teenager. But then her mother herds her and her older sister Beth out of the house at an unearthly hour, and they're suddenly on a very impromptu roadtrip to California with a strange man who everyone seems to understand but her. Suddenly she's learning scary secrets about the world, her family, and worst of all, herself."

I have no idea what title I should use- please inspire me! A hit man who has removed himself from the murder scene to be with the one he loves is growing tired of civilian life and longs to be what he once was. He gets a chance to assume his old role once more in a FBI instituted round up of the more crazed murderers for hire but is killed in the crossfire. Now, dead and separated from the ones he loves, he makes a deal to come back to the living world. Kill all those he had been meant to dispatch before he quit his job as an assassin to restore the balance and go free. Ideas? I had been thinking of something to do with the 'idle hands are the devil's playground' line, but I'm not too sure.

Synopsis: Soledad is the last of her species; the mysterious, man-made race: the Nox Noctis. But now the Hunters - genetically engineered super humans - are after her and a million dollar reward is placed on her head. She has no where to hide, no where is safe, and she can trust no one - anybody could be a Hunter after her, whether it be dead or alive. When she stumbles upon the small town of Belle's Hill she can't help but let her guard down when she meets two alluring - and completley different - men, unlike anyone she's ever met before. But she must be careful; the Hunters are closing in.

He loved to play games and used this demension as a game board, it was set up as a maze, that would test and torment the players. He would call certain and unfortunate people to be the players in this game. some stumbled upon it by accident (bermuda triangle). If they could not, and most did not, find their way out of the maze they were forced to become part of the game for eternity. I had planned on calling the magical being the Minator. I was going to call this story, The Minator's Maze or Minator's Maze. just a suggestion :)

On her 16th birthday, Ashlyn finds that the small tunnel beneath her tree in her backyard(this may be edited, but it's something along these lines) leads to a whole different world. She finds a man, and discovers he knew her mother, who died giving birth to her. Apparently, her mother was Queen of this world, and when she left to be with Ashlyn's father in our world, it fell into ruins. Now, Ashlyn's willing to fight for what is rightfully her country, and to do whatever she has to to make things right. The man follows her throughout her adventure, and a passionate love-hate relationship builds between them...but what happens when Ashlyn finds out that man was her mother's lover?

A simple thief for hire gets pulled into something bigger when he "botches" a heist that wasn't meant to be completed in the first place. Given the name of Fluorine, he is matched with other "elements" of the underground who do jobs for hire for the Nobles, businessmen who use underhanded methods to stay on top. All is going well until something goes wrong. Fluorine takes a private job that nearly gets him killed, and he becomes suspcious. Digging deeper, he realizes he was framed by the biggest boss of all, Radon. Not sure why they want him dead, Fluorine goes on a rampage, taking down Nobles before they can get to him, all while evading his former crew, now ordered to hunt him down. Dissociated and alone, Fluorine's clock is ticking before his luck runs out, but he won't go down without a fight. In case you were wondering, I devised this while sitting in my chemistry class. Fluorine is the most electronegative elemen,t and the first thing I thought was "That little thief!" and thus a character was born. The whole thing will have chemistry references throughout, something I absolutely adore.

RenaLC — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:15:21 +0100

hello, i need some help with a title. I have included a synopsis and a piece of the story (a little one) The story takes place in a alternate reality where the earth has been split into two half's. Each side is the same, except for one side is diverse, where anybody is welcome, and the other is a corrupt version of what "Perfect" is. the story follows four teens, Alloway - daughter of the Castle family(diverse), Nicholas Gemini - son of the king family (Perfection side), Dmitri - son of the knights family (diverse), and Blair- daughter of the aries family. Each plays a specific role in what is to come, including a realization of Human nature and the fate that rests in the dying hands of whomever can unmask it. here is the little piece It all started in darkness. The big bangs, the ripple effect, my world, maybe even your dimension. Every single living thing started as nothing but darkness. In my world there are many names and types of darkness. The evil that resides within the human soul is called “dementia”, while the darkness that possesses you is called “sprit.” The one type I want you to know about and remember is the type of darkness that controls what happens to you every moment from when you were born, to when you again become one with the darkness. It’s called fate. There is only one problem with fate. In order to gain the power it needs to control and corrupt, it must overpower a substance unlike itself. The darkness must add light. Have you ever wondered why there is good and evil? Or why we fight to the death over something that could potentially work out by compromising? All of these things work, because of the illusion that the darkness can be over thrown is a defect of human nature. A microchip that isn’t turned on or a piece of a puzzle that could never belong. Sometimes darkness being as “evil” as it is, will disguise itself as light to fool a living thing, only sometimes it forgets that its pretending, and that’s when we get life forms like ourselves. Humans ruled by emotion, at war with every single ounce of it. It all started in darkness. The big bangs, the ripple effect, my world, maybe even your dimension. Every single living thing started as nothing but darkness. -Alloway

Totally forgot to put my story on here for title help. Usually I think of the title first and work from that as inspiration. Well, my inspiration has moved from that point into something else and now I am stuck. Original title was ICKY Here is the gist of the story: MC is from a small town in a lowland part of the middle of nowhere. She is 12 years old and teetering between childlike innocence and teenage understanding. This somewhat dreamy child lives her life rich with imagination. The world around her vivid and as alive as the one we see through our own eyes. But something changes, a new girl in town a few years older and seemingly from another kind of place altogether. The MC must start to break away from her fantasy life and face the changes that this new girl brings into her life. Will it be for better or worse that this girl with the troubled past has stumbled into MCs home town and brazenly marched into her life? Heartbreak and strength pain the town a new shade for MC. (sorry for the MC, can't decide on a name for her yet!) Please help!

Alright, I need help with a title as well. A short synopsis: In a post-apocalyptic world, a jaded cartographer, a blind pianist and a runaway soldier meet at an anonymous support group in New York City. Though they come from different backgrounds and speak different languages, they are able to join together to leave the past behind and come to terms with their losses. A little more info: The previously mentioned apocalypse is pretty much just a zombie apocalypse. What can I say, I like zombies. Also, the three main characters are all male. Matthew the cartographer is Canadian-American, Dann the pianist is Austrian and Giacomo the soldier is Italian. It's more of a hurt/comfort story than anything else. The three of them are each recovering from the apocalypse and the huge war that it caused. Each of them were impacted greatly and lost someone dear to them. I haven't really given much thought to the title yet, but I'm interested in seeing what other people will come up with.

The Family (he can't escape the family) Apart of The System (sounds like the system is what causes him these problems. Also, "A Part" differs from "Apart" in that maybe your character isn't a part of the system yet, so in essence he is apart, or away, from the system) These might be too simple, but I feel like your story description is too broad for me to narrow it down. But obviously you could maybe throw in some adjectives or nouns to make a better title.

I need a title! I don't even have any working titles right now. It is the turn of the twentieth century in New York City and Jack and Maria are two teenagers trying to hide their shady pasts. They run into each other by accident and form a solid friendship, which quickly becomes necessary as they have to depend on each other for survival in the changing climate of the city. When both of their unpleasant pasts begin to resurface, they must decide whether it is finally time to confront their demons or run away once and for all out west to California. Themes for the novel include family, friends, political and social commentary in the late 1890s/early 1900s, and romance between Jack and Maria and Jack and Maria's best friend/roommate Frankie (who is a girl).

She lies on a daily basis and she never lets anyone know the real her. She is miserable, but at least to the world she appears to be perfect. She stumbles upon a small shop one day. There is a guy who carves masks out of wood to sell, and when she accidentally breaks one she is forced to work in the shop to pay for the damages. But her new employer is more than he appears at first glance, and the shop seems to be shadowed by darker beings than she imagined could exist. And yet, she fears most the man behind the shop counter, who is always trying to figure out what is really behind her mask. If I don't get any help, it'll end up being Masquerade or something lame like that. So please, any help would be much appreciated!

@missboo13 -Jack and Maria (simple but effective) -Turning New York -Turn of the New Life -Turning the Century and Life -- Imagine your life has been perfect. You spent the last thirteen years fufilling your dreams, meeting some of the most influential people that have created a full life for you and defined a life that you would be proud to tell your two children, your pride and joy of fraternal twins. You've become the perfect child psychologist, stopping teenagers from committing suicide and helping abused children into good homes. Then you wake up to find out those last 13 years were a lie - and you have been in a coma. Delilah must figure out what's happened to her life, and how to recover to realize her dreams didn't come true, that her husband and children don't exist until she goes spirialling into a life of depression, therapy and high medication bills.

I don't have much of a summary yet but I know the MC is a sophmore in high school and over the summer a chain of events brought out a talent she didn't know she had: she is incredible at manipulating people, messing with their heads. Only months after she can't even help but control people. With an overwhelming depression taking over her, the things she does become progressively worse. That's all I have as far as the main idea, but I do have an excerpt that sort of explains some of the interactions post crazy with other characters: Three simple things . . . can’t be much trouble. Right? She showed no emotion toward me. I guess it could be worse. She could’ve humiliated me, turned my name to Mudd in the face of the public. But would that be worse? This was agonizing. I felt like I was part of a silent movie. No sound. No color. Just sight. No life. When the bus pulled up to her stop, she boarded without even taking once a measly glance in my direction. She giggled with some wannabe blonde. There’s One. The next stop, he joined the circus ride. At least he was human enough to give me a sympathetic look. He sat diagonally across from me. I stared at him shamelessly. Surely if anyone could understand it was him. There’s Two. Like bats out of hell we scattered the school grounds from the narrow neglected glass door after the bus reached its final location. Raise your glass; I set my eyes on the name engraved on the uppermost arch of the grand entrance—what were they thinking back in 1812?—the graffiti-vandalized mascot was painted on a wall to the left, the symbol of the good for nothing legacy; let’s toast to the last. Three. I buried my hand in my coat pockets. I cut my finger on the corner of a folded paper. So, this could scar me. That’s not what they told me.

Hammer and Carol Winters have seven children. That in and of itself is enough to get them strange looks from many people they meet. What those people don't know is that the Winters family is full of superheroes. Or ... well ... not SUPERHEROES exactly. Yes, they do have powers ranging from invisibility to perfect mimicry, but they don't really do the whole 'vigilante crimefighter' thing. Instead, they use their powers for more ordinary acts of heroism, blending in with the rest of the world. That is, until Hammer's extraordinary skill as a firefighter catches the attention of the media. When a particularly stubborn journalism student refuses to leave without his story, it's up to the kids to drive him away. But will they succeed in protecting their family's secret, or will they blow their cover to the moon?

So I decided super last minute to do Nanowrimo this year, so I kind of have a plot I'm still developing, but a little synopsis of what I have for a plot so far is basically, the story is about the personifications of the Seven Sins and Seven Virtues, told from the view point of Justice, a entity that was only recently released, discovering that as the human world changed the sins and virtues did, in a way that corrupted both sides, and it's basically a lot of everything not being as it seems with some religious symbolism thrown in. I used to call it Virtue~Sin, because one of the plot points is Justice deciding if she wants to help the sins or the virtues, but honestly ~ just looks derpy. XD; any ideas would be loved.

I hate the title I have right now and I just can't get my head around how to fix it :( Synopsis: Muses are aliens. Their purpose has been, for as long as history can remember, to take stories from all corners of the Universe and bring them to other planets and civilizations who would never otherwise know about them. They share these stories by psychically influencing creative minds. But now, the Muse planet (Museum) is dying. And not just the planet, but the people - the whole civilization. As long as Muses have existed, they have had one ultimate moral insofar as storytelling goes - they do not tell their own story. Some have tried - which is how words like "Muse" and "Museum" have slipped into other languages - but to do so is indecent to the core. Yet now, with the planet on the verge of extinction, Muses wonder: do they remain noble and true to their nature to the end, or do they finally tell the last Story they have to give - their own?

tylerbassist3992 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 03:39:13 +0100

My novel is based in an alternate universe in which life evolved in such a way that it had near complete control of the physical universe. All plants, animals, bacteria, viruses, and even fungi have some sort of "power." I'm trying to use as little hand-wavium as possible, so it's definitely more sci-fi than fantasy. In humans, abilities develop during puberty, and every human has a different ability. This ability is always tied to that persons personality. Obviously, as a person gets older, their ability will get stronger and stronger, and if their personality changes, so will their ability. The MC is a man named Tom, who is a Quantum Tunneler. Tunnelers, (more commonly called "wormholers") aren't generally the most popular, as the personality type is generally very introverted, underspoken, and depressed. The stereotypical 'holer' is a janitor or other service worker, who lives alone or at home, and is a "pervert," who sits at home stalking girls via wormhole. Not all holers are like this though. Some use their ability in innovative and world changing ways. Snipers, rescue workers, spies. Tom is at first devastated at the idea of having one of the most hated abilities in the world, but after a major turning point, he decides he will make the best of his ability and become a detective, by using his ability to "see into the past" in order to solve crime. Everything is going fine, except for the normal political turmoil and debates over the ethics of new technologies, when the world is invaded by demons. It starts slowly, as these demons are nearly invisible and are impervious to abilities, since they exist outside of physics and are not biological beings. They can't simply possess people though, so they work their way into people's minds through manipulation, bribery, promises of ultimate power. Normal demon stuff. Then one day a demon approaches a seer, who happens to be a childhood friend of Tom, and he promises him the secrets of the universe in exchange for his soul. The seer looks into the future and sees that if he allows the demons to continue their present course, humanity will be wiped out. The seer tries to warn as many people as possible, and most won't listen to him, but he manages to bring together a small band of "believers" who's mission is to either find a way to destroy the demons, or find a way to escape.

She must leave her only friends, Heather and Jason. Little does she know, this transition will change her life. Despairing at the school whose work she'd never catch up in with teachers that don't explain anything, she starts dying little by little until she feels her very essence is dwindling to dust, ready to be blown away. Her mysterious past threatens to overwhelm her. Then help comes from an unexpected quarter. Into her life comes Tyler. A boy of fifteen and seven months, he has a past just as mysterious as Kat's own. Her past becomes clearer and clearer, and with that, her present is becoming vague and blurred. Only Tyler can pull her back out of her frequent flashbacks. It gets harder and harder each time. While struggling with the increasing flashbacks, and Katina tries to find the difference between her feelings for the boy she left and the boy she has come to know. Thinking about that brings a sea of confusion, and through the heart of it comes something deadly, that will threaten the lives of them all.

how about "life afterwards" It sounds like it's going to involve alot of talking (which isn't a bad thing) and might involve lots of flashbacks. it might be interesting if each character had a different view of how certain major events went down. "Looking Back," "Starting Over," "Remembrance,"

I am in need of a title for my nano novel. Basically my novel is about a girl who lives in New York and wants to be admitted into a prestigious dance school (like juliard) so she can join a ballet company. She has these mysterious purple eyes and looks like no one in her family, and is a little different than everyone else. Through a series of events, she finds a Fae and he takes her into his world (actually more like tricked her, he grabbed her purse and ran away with it, and she chased him down) She finds out that she is actually a changling and is not even human. The queen of the Sealie court (summer) says that she will never return to the human world, and no one bothers to tell her why. Eventually she figures out that she has some sort of power that she herself cannot use, but she has the ability to maximize anyone's magic powers. So basically everyone is trying to trick and use her for their own gain, and she has to figure out how to stop it. any ideas ?

This really just screams, "Through the Mist" to me...like she is constantly seeing everything through this fog, and if one thing is clear, another is just more obscured. Also some to consider (depending on specific symbols you may be using. A Constant Chaos (this fits in with the first title, going with the idea that nothing is really clear at any point) A Million Miles (this focuses more on how the story takes place for the most part, really far away from her home) Invisible Ties (how Tyler is her family, but she is unaware of it) Into the Web (like a spiderweb where everything is connected) The First Sunrise (when everything is finally revealed and there is light (or at least clarity)) Take Me Back (this focuses a lot of the flashbacks and the relationship with Tyler vs. Jason) Hope this helps! Let me know if any of these work for you :)

Need a title as well... My story is set in a modern times, on Earth. Everything is the same, except angels and demons exist. They use illusion to walk among the humans so they're not noticed. The main character (Althelia) possess second sight which allows her to see past the illusions and spot angels and demons. Her best friend is Gabriel, who is an angel but she doesn't know it. Demons start taking an interest in Althelia (She's also an angel of sorts but doesn't know it) and then Michael, a mysterious character enters. Throughout all this she has to figure out who and what she is and fulfill a prophecy foretold many years ago that could change the world.

mercurialWastelander — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 05:35:50 +0100

I am terrible at naming things. True facts. Any help is appreciated. My working title is Twin Princes, but I'm not satisfied with that title. Apologies in advance for the wall of text, I get a bit long winded. Here's my synopses: The Kingdom of Progress lies on the left side of the world, a haven of knowledge and innovation. The Kingdom of Vision lies on the right, a majestic world of dreamers and cultural prosperity. They are at war. In the course of one evening, the heirs to each throne have vanished without a trace, taking with them the living embodiment of the city and their closest servant. Both sides, distraught and without any knowledge pertaining to the disappearance, have hastily blamed each other for the tremendous loss. It has been three years and still they fight without reason, sacrificing lives senselessly as those who dwell at home mourn for the loss of their family and for the future of their kingdom. On the border of the Kingdom of Vision, a young bard wanders into the woods in search for inspiration. What she finds instead is a crow, and omen of great change and hidden truths. The winds bring with it the promise of fate, and what follows is a story of chivalry, hope, and adventure. Only not, because what sort of change could a bird bring to the land, anyways? ---------- More info: The story kind of has a Swan Princess theme going on. The crow actually becomes a young man at night, and becomes a crow again in the day. He is cursed and cannot give out his name or any information about his past. The title "Twin Princes" comes from the fact that there are two princes of the Kingdom of Progress- Twins, obviously. They actually got along quite well when they were together. However, two years before the war, one of the twins went missing and was presumed dead- a tragedy for the entire kingdom, and the royal family was well loved. Two years later his brother, as well as a knight and a seer from the royal court, all went missing as well- as did thier counterparts in the Kingdom of Vision, as stated in the synopses. The main characters are the Bard and the Crow, who also calls himself a Rogue. Each kingdom is missing three people (sans the other twin) - on the side of Progress we are missing the royal families personal Seer, a Knight sworn to serve the Princes, and the remaining Prince himself. On the side of Vision, the Heir to the Throne is missing, as well as his personal handmaid and a Prophet who served the court. The story follows the Crow and the Bard as they try to find a way to break his spell, and in the process they get caught up in the war and the very future of the kingdoms. The Crow becomes integral to the resolution for the knowledge he possesses. The story also delves into the history of the kingdoms. The entire story has a duality theme, by the way, if it wasn't already obvious. Sorry you read so much, by the way! Were not writing novels yet but I might as well be.

I seriously suck at titles. It's like some sort of mental block. :( I'm writing a hard-boiled Noir mystery. My MC, Jack is not exactly an upstanding citizen. He's done time and he's not above earning money in less than legal ways. He inherited a bar from his father (the only good thing he ever did for him). He's always managed to stay neutral in the politics of the street until he was framed for murder. Includes gang/organized crime turf wars, a new designer drug, the possibly connected murder of a customer, and the return of his first love. His old lover escaped the streets and is now a reporter, back to investigate city political corruption, and the long ago disappearance of his (the lover's) sister. There's also a theme of how Jack's first love's return awakens a tentative desire in him for something more than just "existing". (He has great guilt for something from his past.) A line from a song sums it up. "To say that I was dissatisfied would somehow imply that I was deserving of a better life." If it matters, I doubt there will be a HEA for the 2 of them. My synopsis isn't really a synopsis, but it's written in Jack's voice. I would forever love you if you can help!

I'll leave you with the synopsis. There's a lot of still still not worked out. --- Caleb Wainwright is a young, ambitious man who moved to the Seattle area a year ago to work for an IT company. With a clean-shaven face and a wardobe that consists almost entirely of dress pants with button-up shirts, Caleb is practically the embodiment of professionalism... even if he is a little inexperienced. But what Caleb hasn't told anybody is that he has a disease. From when he wakes up to when he falls asleep, his day-to-day life is plagued by fatigue, fainting spells, and bouts of crushing pain. There is no cure. After a good deal of research on his disease, he's found a way to alleviate the symptoms - but for that, he'll need the right equipment... and a little help. --- Yep, it's a horror/sci-fi story, along similar lines as Frankenstein. It's got a working title, but I wanna know what you all think.

MK Kilmarnock — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:21:54 +0100

I compiled a few, but most of them sounded pretty corny. I narrowed it down to two I liked. The Bloodstone Seeker (Sort of niche, it sounds cool but probably doesn't fit very well) The Sun Turned Away (Bit more pretentious a title, but it seems to fit in with the perceived themes of being alienated from what you loved)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

twinesstar — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:45:56 +0100

maybe you could use... feathers and blood (ties in the native american part) i am not very good with titles (thats why im here) my story is basically about thease three girls - princessess - who have to fight in world war III, the war they were not suposed to even be neer because they are only 17 and princessess, but they have to save thalia's - the main character's - mother. and they cant just sit around and do nothing. its going to be a three or four part trilogy depending on if i can drag it out that long - but its definatly going to be at least two. my working title right now is ... warrior princesses; world war III. My second one would be something like... warior princesses; on the front lines. - or something like that. any ideas on better titles?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

jordan.williams42 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:00:17 +0100

Well, I always find alliteration is a good thing to have in a title, if you can think of any. So maybe Princesses and Pistols or something like that. Or you could go for something random like Princess Storm, bit dramatic. As for other parts of the trilogy, i bet you could get a Princesses Revenge in there somewhere. Good luck anyway! My story's about a man who should be king but isn't so it's about his fight to gain the throne. It's set in a magical world and based a long time ago. At the moment it's called The Legend of King Darlo, but I bet you lot can come up with something better!

She is also a Detective Constable with the CID. One Sunday morning she is called out to a flatshare in west London, where somehow an inhabitant of the top floor flat, full of Aussies and Kiwis, has ended up as a corpse in the bottom flat's garden.

This is a brief and shaky summary that can be scrapped but I'm hoping to save it if I can find a good title for it. There are seven people all with different Aura's all of them have had multiple past lives and have met one another in some form or fashion along the way. Their fate is intertwined deeper than they know and finally it seems that all seven are finally fated to be close enough to be siblings. All seven are born to one family and in the wake of tragedy their past lives begin to come back to haunt them. I'm thinking the tragedy will either be the passing of their parents from a car crash at an early age where they all have to support one another, or that their parents are murdered and they go on a journey of sorts to avenge their deaths. I'm thinking the later will be a bit more of a plot driver. I'm still unsure about the time period but I'm definitely going for an Alternate Universe setting anyways. Any help on a title is very welcomed. Thanks.

I'm really terrible at naming my stories so I thought I'd come get some help. My story is going to be about a teenage boy named Vincent, who lives mostly in the south, bouncing around different family members. His mother was killed when he was a young boy, and even though he witnessed the murder, he doesn't know who did it. Vincent doesn't go to school very much, and is almost always accused of different crimes in the town he's living in at the time. He meets a guy who's older than him, who helps him find Vincent's father. The basic gist of this story is a boy finding his father who happens to be in jail and learns what happened to his mother, while figuring out what to do with his future. Any help is much appreciated!

Here's my synopsis, feel free to contribute any titles, cause I'm completely stuck.... In the Allied Holy States, citizens are expected to conform to the doctrines of the Fathers and Brothers, and of The Saviour, the leader of the Allied Holy Church. But as religion is warped to control and oppress the people, and to an expand a repressive, fanatical empire, an underground resistance is building: The Heretics. Alexandrine is the daughter of The Saviour, bought up in a world of claustrophobic luxury and hypocricy, paraded through the States at her father's side. As her resentment of the regime begins to grow, she is kidnapped by The Heretics and held hostage as leverage against the very man she begins to despise. Escaping the cage of one prison for another, she finds herself trying to prove her opposition to the regime by any means necessary, and helping to overthrow a government that her own father created. (it's kind of a right wing, uber religious dystopia: 'the saviour' claims that christ was not the son of god, but he is)

Needing a title!! David is a teenager who lacks emotions. His brain controls all of his actions and behaviour rationally, and without any feelings attached. He can not remember ever feeling something deeply, and is struggling to accept the fact that he will always be emotionally detached from the rest of the world. With very few people willing to tolerate his behaviour, his friendship is limited. David has a "best-friend" of sorts; Eva has stuck beside him since childhood, and despite David's torturous antics, she accepts him for who he is and doesn't plan on leaving him any time soon. When Eva starts devoting her attention to other aspects of her like, this sets off a downward spiral of depression-like symptoms in David, without him actually feeling anything. Anything welcome :)

From this well, a fog spreads and where this fog touches, things change. Trees can suddenly move, animals can talk, and mythical beasts roam the land. But what happens when a scientist experiments with this magical fog? Sierra, Brendan, Olivia and Tristan are all taken hostage by Dr. Brandi Bloom and subjugated to the powers of the mist. Sierra dies instantly, but her spirit is tied down and she’s forced to remain on Earth as a ghost. Brendan finds that the fog obeys his commands and he can perform feats similar to sorcerers in the movies. Olivia’s connection with the earth grows as she is transformed into an elf. Tristan too dies, almost. Turned into a creature of the night, Tristan must learn to control his new cravings. How do you deal with going from the most popular girl in the school, to dead and only able to haunt the hallways? Maybe your parents won’t notice your vampiristic tendencies, but your best friend will; especially when you try and suck his blood. Going from a no one in life to a super athlete with super human abilities might be hard to hide from your friends that suddenly become curious, all while growing pointy ears. How do you explain to your peers the levitating books, or the glowing crystal ball when all you want to do is play video games and train to win a race? In a world that’s rapidly going to war against “The Magic” as it comes to be known, being one of the Changed becomes a challenge. In order for everyone to accept the new you, you have to accept yourself first. But how, when the government is trying to hunt you down and kill you for being something you have no control over.

You could try: "Helping Hannah" "The Princess Dilemma" "The Princess and the Stable Girl" "Royal Questions" Sorry if some of the suggestions don't make sense to you, but I hope at least one helped! -Dan

I posted this once already but I didn't get any ideas back... Sorry for the spamming, I promise not to try again if nothing comes up. But I'm REALLY stuck on this. I hate the half-hearted ideas I've flung about so far. Majorly needing help :-/ Synopsis: Muses are aliens. Their purpose has been, for as long as history can remember, to take stories from all corners of the Universe and bring them to other planets and civilizations who would never otherwise know about them. They share these stories by psychically influencing creative minds. But now, the Muse planet (Museum) is dying. And not just the planet, but the people - the whole civilization. As long as Muses have existed, they have had one ultimate moral insofar as storytelling goes - they do not tell their own story. Some have tried - which is how words like "Muse" and "Museum" have slipped into other languages - but to do so is indecent to the core. Yet now, with the planet on the verge of extinction, Muses wonder: do they remain noble and true to their nature to the end, or do they finally tell the last Story they have to give - their own?

@Canadan216: Forever Changed, Accepting Magic/Fairytales/Myth, The Fog, "The Magic" is pretty good, Foggy Future Here's my synopsis: The people of Andova have always looked to the powers of Mother Nature and have bent the elements to their will for years. Kyra, a promising Firelin, was going to pass the final threshold Mother Nature had to offer. But before she could rejoice, a chance encounter with a renowned priestess, who speaks of an ominous prophecy, forces Kyra to go into hiding. As she takes refuge in the temple of the very priestess who condemned her, she must learn to accept her newfound fate to use the strength of the less revered Father Time to time travel. Not only must she strive to protect her people with her new power while keeping to the shadows of society, but she must also struggle against the feelings which the prophecy states will lead to the doom of all. Extra information: The prophecy says that Kyra will have a child with glowing blue eyes who will bring destruction, hence the trying to avoid love type feelings amongst the time traveling and fighting.

I always search the work for a memorable line that says something about the characters - I have a murder piece where the husband hits his wife over the head while she is doing dishes and singing along to the radio to a song entitled "Always," and when she comes back for revenge, she sings this song. The title of the piece is "Always," because she will always come back for him. If the book is on the intense thriller side, I would stick with the LaCarre kind of title like "Walk, Run, Swim" or "Deep Secrets" as plays on words for the fact that our protagonist is a mermaid - a resident of the deep with a secret.

I need some help! The basics of my story are people gathering in clans to seal portals opening from another, much darker, world. By sealing the "malevolent" energy, it is prevented from contaminating the world the mains live in. However, the form of government is tired of paying out for the service due to fraudulent sealing claims- and not being able to make money off the duty means fewer setting out to do it, leaving more work for a declining number of people. If left unchecked, and the portals grow uninhibited, it is certain things would get very bad.

@everheart Ooh, I like the title you have now. Very catchy. C: Hmmm.... how about Race From Fate? Okay okay my plot is still very much a work in progress, so bear with me. xD It takes place in the 1600-1700's... erm, I haven't really decided yet. Phoebe King is a young woman, who is about as uncharming as you can imagine - she's unmarried, and living with her kindhearted sister Dianna and her husband Charles. Despite being the older sister, Phoebe (affectionally nicknames "Phee" by her sister) has never really lived up to expectations. Clumsy, extremely stubborn and strong willed, and can't sing to save her life - nothing much was ever expected of her. However, when Dianna falls sick, things get even worse for Phee. Charles struggles to get enough money to afford a doctor for Dianna, and Phee's mooching is not helping things. Phee is distraught, and is determined to do somethinganythingeverything she can to help her younger sister. On a whim and an insane idea, she runs to Don - a lazy and crude ex-pirate who's developed something of a soft spot for Phoebe. She convinces him to help her pass off as a man and join the crew of a pirate ship. Stealing, looting, and bringing the goods back to her sister, and at the very least getting out of Charles's hair. Hair cut and trousers donned, she doesn't fully realize just how insane this idea was until she's swabbing the deck of The Avenger. again, a work in progress, but any title ideas would be greatly appreciated! :D

@Farls – Tidal Wave Ocean of Secrets Ruffled Waters Pirates Don't Need Charm Piracy for Love Madame Pirate Pheeble (bad pun... I had to say it though hahah) – sorry that's all I could think of at the moment :| Here's mine - it needs desperate help: 5 strangers board the LA metro in the middle of the night and at 12:01 it feels like an quick earthquake and when the subway finally pulls into the next station after, they all get off and realize that they're no longer in LA. It's a strange parallel world of shadows and monsters and what looks like bits of rubbish from different times. They eventually get chased back onto the subway by the monsters and return to our world. Once there they go their separate ways. A few weeks later though, they start to hear about monster sightings and strange deaths mostly in LA and slowly they realize that the monsters are coming from the shadow world they stumbled into. They find a way to get back together and try to close the crack that's connecting earth and that other world, while fighting off various monsters. As it turns out, one of them has managed to keep the two worlds connected through certain means and that's the reason the monsters are starting to leak into LA. But his reasons aren't malevolent; the shadow world got into his mind and manipulated him (he sort of slowly goes crazy) to keep everything connected. The titles I've thought of so far (are terrible): A Tangential Derailing The Train Stops Here The Subway That Tore A Hole Through LA Thanks in advance!!

I think: Parallel Worlds: A Tangential Derailing Here's mine - I was thinking about Emotional Rollercoaster: Intense from the beginning, Emotional Rollercoaster is a riveting tale of the many life lessons that we experience. Although we learn some lessons sooner than later, Nigel Hunter learns them the hard way. On his journey to become a member of the socially elite, Nigel finds himself apart of complex issues that proves to be the ride of his life. On the campus of the prestigious and ivy-league Northerton University in D.C., this freshmen experiences an intertwined web of infidelity, sexual curiosity, promiscuity, and acceptance that shapes his future. After twists, turns, and a few confrontations along the way, all cards are laid on the table. Get ready for this rollercoaster because it’s definitely an emotional one. Hold on tight!!!

Butler finds himself engaged to his childhood sweetheart, poised to inherit a prestigious country practice, and ready for the cloying life of peace. However, while attending a medical symposium in London he befriends the enigmatic ex-patriot Dr. Edward Sinn; a reclusive genius with a house full of dark secrets. What drives Sinn to work himself to exhaustion,night after night in his lonely basement laboratory on countless serums and experiments he hopes will expand the human mind? How does someone who hates the automatons as violently as the doctor become the trailblazer of the prosthetic field? Who is the unresponsive young lady who sits alone in the rose bedroom? Why are the only servants of 15 Allister a surly Oriental dwarf and his beautiful child bride? Are the rumors of Edward's involvement in the recent death of the Lady Fairchild more than just idle gossip? And is the Dark Man, the Metal Ripper now terrorizing the back alleys of London more than just a coincidence?

StasiaWinters — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:30:03 +0100

I hope I helped a little, Farls! Here's my story that I need a title for: So, a teenage girl (whose name is still in debate and parents are in a custody battle over her) accidentally drowns after she storms out of her father's beach-side restaurant. She goes to Heaven. In this story, Heaven is different. It's a lot like Earth, actually, except for extraordinary things are considered ordinary, like a surgery that can restore you to any age, or having the option to pay to 'learn' a skill if you're too lazy to take the time to try it yourself. But there's a problem. World War III breaks out on earth. God could never ACTUALLY be everywhere at once-lets just say angels do a lot more than we give them credit for-and he has to go to Earth to try and keep everyone from destroying each other. He takes with him a large majority of his angels. Satan, of course, takes advantage. He attacks Heaven, and somehow (I'm not sure on specifics yet) the teen girl ends up in the middle of it all. Anyway, this War of the Cosmos resembles World War II in that there are bombings, one enemy, and some fighting styles that are similar. However, the technology is more advanced. To combat the invading forces, Heaven turns into a military regime, handing power over to the Interior, which is kind of the White House-Langley-Pentagon all rolled up into one. As of right now, I think God gets back into Heaven at one point, but I don't know for sure. Any ideas?

I've got a few phrases that I'll pass along here, just for fun. I'm not sure if they'll quite work. The story you've got seems like it would be really great if it had a title taken from something one of the characters says or notes or does (like "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"). But! "Things Done and Left Undone" "Ice Cube" "Frontal Lobe" "Somatic" "Somatic System"

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

MasterLocke — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:13:52 +0100

I'm definitely in need of title ideas. And yeah, I'm only just getting back into NaNo forums, I had no clue it was going so strong still. :) The story centers around two late teenaged boys fresh out of high school. When MC 1 was a young child, his parents were killed in a pretty horrific event he has completely blocked out of his mind. He went to live with a local family that had twin sons one year younger than him. As they aged he grew to have feelings for one of them (MC 2), but never particularly thought they might be returned. Their whole world is turned upside down in the twins’ senior year of high school when the other twin begins to go extremely downhill mentally and ends up killing himself. Still living with his guardians, MC 1 is fighting with his own past, his feelings for MC 2 (CAN YOU TELL I’M NOT SOLD ON THE NAMES I’VE CHOSEN YET) and trying to help his, family as it were, heal. The parents of the twins adopt a young daughter, whether as kindness or as some attempt to make the house feel less empty, neither MC 1 or 2 know. Here’s the kicker that I might have forgotten to mention and none of them realize. Everything in their life that is truly bad can be traced back to a true and utter eldritch abomination. One that is coming to reap what was sown. It will have some fairly heavy… angst and hopefully, assuming I can get my act together, proper suspense and horror. The thing is, I’m SHIT at writing unless I have a title. I always focus too much on that because I feel like my work is doomed without a title. Any help or ideas are going to be considered a godsend.

There's no synopsis for me to reply to so I'll post mine. In Pelphala, a city under the rule of the Clauthe, an empire that fuels itself with the souls of dead gods, conspiracy is rife; assassins, politicians, tyrants and zealots all plot to destroy each other and hold control over the land of Tzemadra. Until, from out of the desert, comes Kazernein, a young man possessed by the last god, a man who stands before the highest power in the land and declares that he has come to destroy all the world and replace it. As the fate of existence lies at stake, the endless intricate battle for control reaches boiling point, and whoever comes out on top will decide the destiny of all the universe.

Too many people, though, would kill him, so when he announces he wants to go to High School for his senior year, both his father and best friend Alexis are terrified. Yet Joshua knows he has it under control, and soon everyone loves him in his new school. After all, being around him feels really good. Maybe too good. For Adrian Legard, a born wizard who despises being different, finding out that the new student "feels" weird sets off all kinds of alarms. Is this person a threat to his magical family and friends? Just, what is he, exactly? Following Joshua proves a dangerous affair. Too many people are following him, it seems, something Adrian believes is because the power of healing is too alluring. Soon, he will learn there are far more alluring things around Joshua than just his healing touch.

You don't have to post your synopsis in the thread, people usually go to your profile. @RoswellianMisha Your idea is interesting, but the synopsis needs some work. It's a little choppy to me and some things seem a little vague. Why do people want to kill him? Who exactly is it that want to kill him? And do Joshua heal these people intentionally or does it just happen automatically? It needs some filling out, but all in all it's a good idea.

So I need a title for my book. It's about a girl whose father dies fighting in Iraq. She has a pretend world but when her father dies, these creatures come into her world and destroy everything. She has to go back to her imaginary world to defeat the creatures and find her dad. I was thinking of 'One small step' because the Jar of Hearts song was in my head whilst I was planning. Can I have some more ideas?

Strawhenge — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 23:10:26 +0100

I think it should be called The Veil. The word veil would have numerous meanings: the funereal veil surrounding the death of the father, the already thinned veil between the girl's imaginary world and her own, and when the creatures come into the real world and start destroying it, the veil would also allude to the translation of the derivative of the word apocalypse, which comes from the Greek word apokálypsis, meaning 'lifting the veil.' ... Don't go by the synopsis on my page, since this is the third part to the whole story. The whole story is about the population of Earth being evacuated and inducted into the Community of Interspace: a conglomeration of planets host to many humanoid peoples with strange similarities to our own 'Earthian' race. With Earth's induction comes Earth's inclusion in an interstellar war with an artificially intelligent army of deadly machines and its humanoid allies, as they seek to overthrow all of the independent governments of the Community for their own peoples' survival. Meanwhile, the main character, an Earthian named Jason, deals with his own immature impulses, a new love that opens an old emotional wound from his childhood, a rebellion amongst his own people, and a sadistic and powerful nemesis lurking in the shadows of the enemy. It's about the existence of man in our modern world, extrapolated and placed amongst extremes, to illustrate our need for camaraderie and love, an understanding of inevitability, and the appreciation for the life all things are given. I call the whole thing 'Of Earth,' and while I'm satisfied with that, I'm curious to see what ya'll think.

I need a title! I've already scrapped "Tell me a story" as that's the first line, but here's my synopsis. A series of short stories is told, broken by snatches of dialogue between the Storyteller and the Listener. We know nothing about the Storyteller or the Listener, save their self-defined roles, and we never see them, only hear the words that they speak. As the story weaves on, more voices enter the black, secluded world of the Storyteller and the Listener, painting the world these two inhabit with scattered beams of light, and the escalating events in their lives begin to weave together with the stories that the Storyteller gives. For me, it's an experiment in telling two kinds of stories: a series of disconnected short stories, which I have never been good at and therefore shall get lots of practice, and a confusingly connected long story that holds the bits and pieces together. This second, larger story will be told entirely through dialogue. I'm not kidding. I might not even change the font so you can tell who's speaking when. Have fun guessing at the identities of the speakers- I may name them, or I might just give them titles, but I certainly won't give them anything so mundane as gender. ^_^

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

The first thing I thought of was 'Storytelling'. Other thoughts: Recounting Stories, Once Upon A Time, Narrative, and Storyteller. Mine will be about a(n) MC in a country ruled by a 1984-esque government who (amongst other things) are determined to wipe out mental illness. His sister goes missing and he is told she never existed. He doesn't know whether he's being set up so he can be accused of being mentally ill and she's really missing or if she was always just a figment of his imagination.

"Just like that, the world had come to an end. Like a candle being blown out. I fell to my knees in front of her body, feeling the chill in the air. I couldn't help being terrified. I had known her better than myself, and now a part of me was dead. How would I ever survive?"

Its about a girl who has to go to a new school because her parents jobs, and staying with her 20 year old cousin, who gives her a few gifts that are expensive, except for one which is a trashy old jewelery box. she has to survive 7th grade when she realizes that the box might be the most important and magical thing in the world. (2) A book about a girl and her crush getting switched bodies Please answer both of them!

CuteGuavas: I'm really sorry, but I honestly have no title for you. Romance isn't my thing. Strawhenge: I was completely at a loss, till I read your current title. That's a great name. Keep it! Mirage Knight: I also recommend your current title. It sounds interesting as well as very indicative of the novel's plot. May I ask what your current dissatisfaction with it is? aktersnurran: I'd go with something related to mud; Horror in the Mud, Dead in the Mud, something like that. Since I asked Mirage Knight, I should answer it for me: I don't like my current title as it feels uninspired and obvious; I don't think it properly captures the spirit and concepts of my novel (that of journeys, friendship, blah blah blah that stuff) and it doesn't do a good job of explaining what the novel is.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

aktersnurran — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:19:15 +0100

Thank you for titles, probably going to use Muddy Denial. It has that cling to it. Thanks! 1.) I like that title. It doesn't give away too much about the novel, but still tells us something. It's "sucky" and it's her "seventh" If you don't like your title, you could use a small detail and bring it out, (like someone eats blueberries in a really important scene, at the same time as she confesses to her mother that she does graffiti, and you name it "Spray-paint and blueberries"). Just an idea. 2.) "Changed" "Loved" "The skin I'm in" "I'm in love with me" "Crushed" Can't think of any more at the moment, may come up with more later though.

I have a pretty complicated storyline and I'm still trying to figure it out but I'm hoping that a title will help me out.. Any suggestions?? A story set sometime in the 1930s follows a boy of 17 named (unknowned) who happens to stumble upon a girl approximately his age with white hair that falls to her waist. As the boy is new into town, the posh Whitecastle in the middle of Georgia, he does not know the history behind the girl and her white hair. However, after asking innocent questions, hoping to find simple answers, the elite townspeople tell him the story of 'that' girl, the murderer. Soon the boy falls into the daily rhythm of living the high life and leaving all thoughts of the mysterious girl behind him. But, by chance of a lifesaving encounter and a glimpse into her gray eyes, the boy is drawn in by the girl, and her muddled mind. Hoping to find the truth and save the girl deemed unsaveable, the boy will leave everything behind to find her and bring her home.

boomkapow — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:44:57 +0100

I'm awfully confused about this format, but I'm going to post and hope for the best. -noob- PLOT: 17-year-old Finch McAnara, or Goose as her classmates have so kindly nicknamed her, is the unwanted stepchild of the Marhall High student body. And when she's accidentally hit by a car belonging to her jerkass classmate (one who had given her a death threat that very day), she wonders if this will be a quick way out of this hell. Well, unfortunately for her she survives - but at a price. Wobbling out of the hospital with a heavily fractured leg and a concussion several weeks later, she finds she has a new friend waiting for her. A new, dead friend, to be more exact, because 19-year-old Lysander is a ghost. Then again, Lysander's not the only new friend she has; reluctant, cryptic support comes from the instigator himself; 18-year-old Allen Cirque, the boy who ran her over. An awkward, then committed, friendship grows between the two. After Finch gets used to her odd new ability to see ghosts, a pain from her past shows up in the form of her mother, a delusional woman who abused her older brother Jay and then framed him with attempted suicide when she cut him too deep. Her father believes that she is a good woman, and believes her every word. But when her mother starts on Finch's little sister Raven and herself, what will happen? Why is Finch suddenly able to see Lysander? And will Finch and Raven even get out of this alive? Holy cow, that's a sucky summary. But I tried, what more is there to do?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

The general consensus is to suggest a title for the first person above you who hasn't gotten any suggestions. Preferably don't post your synopsis in the thread if you have it in your profile. For your title, I suggest: "Ghosts of the Past", "Past Present" (it seems that the ghost, something from the past, is helping with the present, hence that idea), "Run Over", or "The Ghost-Seer".

So this is a horrible summary, but I need a better title than what I have right now. "Natasha Sinnira is afraid of the ground. Ever since an accident on the land, she's stayed on her father's airships and refused to step off of them unless in an Air Port City, even at the time that her life depended on it. But when a stowaway is discovered on a four month long trip with few to no stops, Natasha starts seeing things differently. With the help of the stories from stowaway, Allan, Natasha slowly begins to consider what life on land might be like. It's a good thing, too. Because there's terrible plots afoot on the airship."

I originally had a title for this novel, but *sigh* I didn't like it enough, so.....somebody please help me out, I will send virtual chocolate chip cookies. :) Genre: Historical Fiction It's 1060, in Mohdia, Tunisia. The Fatimid Shi'ite Dynasty is peacefully ruling over the whole of Northern Africa, Palastine and Spain....or maybe, not so peacefully. Journey back with Sakhmet, the Caliph's daughter, Seth--the trader, and Tahirah, the daughter of Abdul Hakeem--Muslim trader and emir of the Caliph's court--as they seek to make their way through the turbulent political, economic and social classes of the day. It's not without danger. The real cause is the Berber leaning, Sunni emir of the Caliph's court--Aarif and his son Qahid. Both want to know the real secret behind the Fatimid wealth, and both will stop at nothing to attain their desires. The result includes a court case --murder vs. killing, arranged marriages, a deadly civil war and the threat of the coming Crusade. My story mostly centers on Seth the trader, but in reality he is the most complex character I have ever written about. He has a double personality, a shady background--that involves him at least killing 2 if not more characters--and his fate is inexplicably tied up with both Aarif and Qahid, plus the mysterious trade secret of the Fatimids. The more he knows, the more he is vulnerable to attack. Pressure mounts. Will he do the right thing? And what, for crying out loud, is the right thing to do? War changes people. Especially war that involves man vs. himself. Seth is about to find out the hard way.

This is my synopsis: "Sixty years after nuclear war, society is almost back on its feet, though the remnants of a new disease still terrorize the Republic of America. The government is determined to snuff out every trace of it, and for Spencer, that means taking away Kennedy, his dearest friend, already in the later stages of the affliction. He's sworn to protect her, but can he balance this oath with the care for his brother, his troubled friend, and an ever-complicated love? When the chance to find a cure to the disease presents itself, will he take the opportunity, even if it comes from the hand of his haunting past?"

I need help coming up with a good title for this novel ono Genre: Fantasy/Steampunk Centered around Kyren Hawkwing, son of the ruler over a large, floating landmass in the sky who, thanks to a malfunction in a flying machine that is common for the sky people(who also need a name for their race ^.^'), he plummets to the previously unheard-of surface of the Earth, where normal humans live. Miraculously he survives only to be taken by a circus/freakshow due to his different appearance (Sky people are fairly small, rarely reaching more than five feet even when fully grown, are slender and very light, with elfish feathery ears, tan skin, and eyes the colors of different metals- gold, silver, platinum, copper, bronze, iron, etc.). At this circus he meets a boy a few years younger than he and they become friends, eventually working together to escape the freakshow (Kyren was kept there like an animal, as property, so essentially, the boy is 'stealing' when they do this) and start a search to find things to repair Kyren's flying machine so Kyren can get back home. Oh, and the Earth's surface is not as technologically advanced as the sky people's land. Which also nees a name. -sucks at naming things-.

Alternatively, this is the no-ghost version of the above story. I think I am more likely to do this than the other, but I'd like input on both. 17-year-old Finch McAnara, or Goose as her classmates have so kindly nicknamed her, is the unwanted stepchild of the Marhall High student body. And when she's accidentally hit by a car belonging to her jerkass classmate (one who had given her a death threat that very day), she wonders if this will be a quick way out of this hell. Well, unfortunately for her she survives - but at a price. Wobbling out of the hospital with a heavily fractured leg and a concussion several weeks later, she finds she has someone waiting for her; 18-year-old Allen Cirque, the boy who ran her over. An awkward, then committed, friendship grows between the two. But one thing leads to another and the relationship is supposedly torn to pieces when Finch's father Seren threatens Allen with a restraining order if he doesn't leave his daughter alone. This, of couse, only makes them more rebellious, with Allen sneaking into Finch's room at midnight to talk to her and having codenames in their phones - "Clown" and "Bluesky" for Allen and Finch respectively. Finch's mother, unfortunately, resurfaces as a sickly-sweet closet-abusive woman. Only two years ago, she secretly abused Jay McAnara to the point of hospitalisation - and then framed Jay as a troubled boy who attempted suicide. She acts so nice, and happy...but when she begins on Finch and her little sister Raven, what will happen? Who will survive? And will Allen even be able to help? I actually prefer that to the other one.

'Weaving the world' is another that comes to mind for me.

boomkapow - I think your two storylines could blend nicely. I like the ghost-seeing aspect, and then having the father be upset at the relationship lends some more conflict. But is your focus on the escape from the abusive mother? With the ghost-part I thought of 'Hindsight' or 'Sight' Without, then perhaps 'If These Walls Could Talk'

Okay, I looked at #1and the first thing that came to mind for me was 'Seven Boxes'. For number 2, I would recommend 'I'm not the same person I was Yesterday' (Sorry It's a little wordy, but it's all that I can think of)

Okay wrimos, I need some help :) In the world of Firsbron, where great power has been exiled and daily routine is followed by high pretence, the young and reserved Gallagher Sharpe takes a stroll through the National Atrium. Only this is no touristic visit, rather it is the worst and final task his father has ordered upon him before Gallagher can be an eligible heir to the thrown of Firsbron. He will be paying a visit to the world's most prominent murderer, Alexa X98 before she is put to death after a sentence of nearly a century. What begins as a normal questioning soon becomes more than Gallagher can handle as Alexa reveals that she is one of the last holders of ancient power, and that her gift is to directly submerge others in her memories. Gallagher is thrown into a reverie of past regrets, loves, and rebellion as he discovers more about the inner workings of his planet's history than he would have ever liked to know. As Gallagher witnesses each moment that made Alexa the incarcerated girl she is today, he too becomes changed forever. And as night turns into the day of Alexa's execution, Gallagher must choose a course of action before both their fates and the outcome of all Firsbron are set in stone forever.

I need help wrimos! Please and thank you. Dianna Raatjes was a privileged, only child who grew up in the small town that her parents were born and raised in. She knew everyone and everyone knew her. But no matter what – she felt She was especially close with her father’s youngest brother – an uncle who was just a few years older than she was. Being his favorite nieces – she found herself a member of his group of friends – who are affectionately referred to as the Cards. But after a tragedy strikes Dianna’s ideal life – the Cards find their lives void without the girl they refer to as Dia and she finds herself one thousand miles away from everyone she cares about. But after three years away – she decides to the place she calls home the summer before her senior year. This is the story of one girl’s undying love for a group of young men, a group of young men’s endearing love for a young girl they consider one of the guys. A roller coaster of emotions and events will only make their relationships stronger – or tear them apart altogether.

The issue I'm talking about is people who don't give any suggestions at all. I am not at all intending to be rude or accusatory, but in this case HuonEnergy, who you gave ideas to, did not suggest any titles for others (at least on this and the last page), and so she broke the cycle of giving ideas, then getting ideas. You, on the other hand, gave an idea, then asked for an idea--continuing the cycle.

Some of the characters on this cruise will be a romance between a high school boy and girl, a rich man disappearing off the ship under mysterious circumstances leaving his "greiving" widow, a singl e woman who goes on a cruise and meets a man, only to come home and find herself pregnant, a man who gambles away his life savings, etc. I've just been calling it The Cruise.

"The Cruise" seems like the best name for it, is there something that connects everyone's stories, besides the cruise itself? You could find a title from something like that. Don't get me wrong, I think "The Cruise" is a great title. It's short, and to the point. Plus, it makes sense.

Casper "Copper" Denali is your average guy, well, your average guy plus his male-oriented love life and his eccentric best friend and on and off boyfriend, Tomas "Tom" Raynor, who he's known since he was eight, and who is starting to develop the ability to sneak up on anyone extremely quietly. There are some major problems, though. The first on the list in October of 2013, though, is the fact that he's just found out his younger sister is pregnant (by Tom), his other childhood friend, Alice Lidden, is about to move away, and his favorite bookstore just closed. To top it all off, Casper picks up a small bottle at the beach, a bottle which contains a postcard with a fantastical looking device on it, the words wish you were here, a small journal entry, and a return address from some place called 'Atlantis'. As the teens' parents slowly fall apart, and Copper's family slowly disintegrates around him, he's forced to make a leap of faith, and try to meet up with his Atlantin penpal. -I'm thinking I'll call it "Letters to a Rootbeer Flavored Moon" for... the following reasons: --Coriolis(the Atlantin that Copper sends letters to) and Copper send each other letters --The first letter Copper sends back is accompanied by a rootbeer taffy --Atlantins have been raised to be in complete awe of the moon and the sun, seeing as they're things they don't really see but apparently give them life. So in the beginning, Coriolis addresses all his letters to 'person of the moon'.

IrisFinch — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:06:55 +0100

I have no idea what to name my novel. Here's the synopsis: "Iris Finch has lead a leisurely life, expecting to someday get an occupation and be specially selected according to her abilities. When Assignment Day arrives for her and the other members of her Year, she is ready to take on the adult world, a universe previously alienated to her. But Iris finds out that the adult world isn't what they've been told it would be. Unjust procedures and laws restrict many things, and the entire system is corrupt with war and suffering. The war revolves around a single artifact, a powerful object Iris needs to survive. What do you do when the world is against you?" Additional information: the country is called Eurosyla, and Iris will eventually lead a resistance of teenagers/young adults, who are trying to somehow overthrow the government, who restrict just about all freedom. Iris' Assignment is a messenger, and since vehicles are restricted from regular civilians, she runs everywhere. Also, the Resistance is forced to live in beast infested lands, safe from the governing power, but still a hazardous area, since these beasts are giant spider-scorpions that practically radiate toxins. Any questions feel free to ask, I just really want to know what my title should be.

This is the very first time I'm participating and I'm excited! I have wanted to write my novel forever, but fear stops me. Here's a little of what it's about and I kinda want to go with a baking theme as that's what she does for pay. ;o) "Gina Vaughn had it all. A loving husband, an adorable son and a small cupcake business she ran out of her home. Then one night her world fell apart. Her husband didn't come home from work and, after a little snooping, Gina discovered her husband was having an affair! Will Gina have the courage to venture out into the world for the first time in her life?" Good luck fellow writers!

TreeWhisperer — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:14:36 +0100

I like "Letters to a Rootbeer Flavored Moon" because, well, it's pretty unique. It does, however, make your story sound lighthearted or even humorous, which I'm not sure if it is based on the summary. If it's a more serious story, I think I'd suggest a different title. I'm not so great with titles (in fact, I suck) but here are some random ones off the top of my head from reading your post: Of the Moon The Atlantins Of the Moon and the Sun The Atlantin Letters Sorry if I wasn't much help :(

The Hub, the largest community in Crossroads, was the center for all inter-dimensional transport. Very few travelers could make it through the Multiverse without passing though. This was how everything came to exist in Crossroads; everything was real, everything was a possibility, but at the same time... Nothing was. Willpower rules Crossroads. Those with great strength of will could accomplish whatever they set their minds to, provided there wasn't too much opposition. The person with the greatest strength of will had been chosen for many millions of years to rule the people of Crossroads, brought forth from their world to this to be trained and rule. This all changed three rulers ago when the first Human as we know them became Ruler. Feeling the power he had, he broke tradition; he chose his successor from his dimension, and began a new trend. Each ruler had his apprentice, and so it was until the current ruler decided he wanted more. He wanted a dynasty. Watching the world he came from, he picked a woman... She was too old for him to have her, transporting against her will would take too long. But he monitored her life and chose her a mate in the hopes that she'd have a daughter... And on her third try she did. And when that girl got older, he transported her to the Crossroads to be his wife... But something went wrong. There was an underground movement against the ruler. His now-ex apprentice knew his plan and wanted to overthrow it. While the girl does get safely transported, she's now lost in the proverbial woods. Adventures ensue -cough-

Yes, as children, they vaguely know that adulthood is strict and serious, but once the Assignment Day comes, they kind of get a wake up call. Plus, I'm thinking of adding a government secret society that recruits one of Iris' closest friends, Atayollah. He kind of betrays them and, long story short, Shiloh [resistance member, childhood friend of Iris & Atayollah] loses both of his legs and is forever in a wheelchair/crutches. I think the dark adulthood would give an interesting title, but I'm worried it doesn't focus enough on what exactly the authority does to people, how it can turn them on their friends.

Here's the premis on it thus far: Scarlett is a young girl who has always been the outcast in life. Ever since she was a child, she has been teased and bullied by everyone at school for her choice of clothing....which usually includes cargo pants and combat boots. When she's ten, Scarlett meets Tristram, a boy who seems to get her, and they start hanging out after school every day. Tristram claims to be in his teens, and appears so. But as the weeks, the months, and the years pass, Tristram shows no sign of aging...finally Scarlett learns his secret. Instead of sending Scarlett running the other way, the secret pulls them closer than ever. But is their friendship strong enough to save Scarlett from...herself?

Okay. I'm giving this a try (my first time). Setting: A created up world from my mind Technology: No electricity. Religion: Yes. Made up. Protagonist: A girl who is almost seventeen. Her name is Alli. Antagonist: It would be a spoiler if I told you! Type of Story: Fantasy Alli lives in a temple dedicated to Aretin, the goddess of night. She has lived almost all of her life, since the time her parents came to the temple door and offered her to join their ranks as a baby. She is almost old enough to enter her last year of training when she starts waking up in the middle of the night and hearing something outside her window. She goes to the High Priestess and soon is told she is going to become the next one. As she jumps ahead of her peers and starts to train, she meets Parla, a young girl who arrived at the temple only a month before. Befriending her, she discovers something she has never known before, views of the outside, which she has never seen. As she starts to journey, she discovers something about her past, what power she possesses, and what true happiness is. Spoiler: She doesn't stay in the temple the whole book. So, do you have any suggestions? I would appreciate it.

I could use a little help with mine, I'm sick of calling it "untitled"! Arianwen is the heiress to the throne of Sypria, the largest of the kingdoms of the West. As her father prepares her for ruling such a nation, her mother is hellbent on a smart marriage despite her daughter's protests. Meanwhile, tension between the estranged Kingdom of Maulore and its bordering lands has everyone from the great democracies of the East to the realms of the West on edge, looking to the neighboring land of Sypria for protection. With the weight of the world ready to drop onto her shoulders, Arianwen finds herself fighting for the courage to lead, and to let herself fall in love. Phillip, a novice of the church, is a childhood friend of Arianwen. Soon he will have to choose whether to take the Solemn Vows and remain a celibate man of the church or to re-enter society and finally voice his deep feelings for Aria. To his dismay, a handsome stranger has entered their lives, stealing Arianwen's affections before Phillip has the chance to say anything. To make matters worse, the man seems to be harboring a strange connection to Maulore, which has begun to threaten Sypria and its neighbors with war.

Names I thought up, since this sounds romantic and near-death-experience. Suicidal (she wanted to die) Hurt to Help (he hit her and hurt her and now their friends. She needs help with escaping her mom.) Moment of Silence Secret Bird (their names are bird names) Bird's Song (songs tell story, and a finch is a bird. Her name is Finch.) Broken Bird Cage (She was hurt when she was hit by the car which is the broken cage, and the cage stands for how she she felt like she was caged up at the school. Obviously, her name is a bird name) There you go.

My character, Joan, has been having nightmares of a dark shadow that saps her energy since she was a little girl. Aside from that she has lived normally--she virtually grew up in a Ren-Fair. She has a thing for rocks ("I can feel something different from each one") and one day, her father gives her one from which springs--Merlin! Newly unimprisoned. She is told by Merlin that he has no access to any of his magical books and that they need to visit one of his "friends" ...one Vlad Dracula, in Britain, who is a dear friend owing to the fact that the blood of a wizard calms his bloodlust (to the point he can control himself). For the above: Priest or Princess?

I'm completely at a loss for a title for my novel. Below is the summary (as written in back of the book ad form). The novel is meant to be a wacky, off the wall comedy poking fun at the whole of academia. "Quick, to the Laboratory! The evil Associate Professor is up to no good, and it’s up to The League of Emeritus Professors to stop him! The Physicist, the Mathematician, the Philosopher, and the Computer Scientist must use their highly trained academic powers to unravel the Associate Professor’s plot and prevent its completion. But time is running out, as the Associate Professor is close to getting tenure, and once that happens, he will be unstoppable!" If it helps any, the Associate Professor's plot is to clone his own army or Chinese grad students (these details aren't learned of by The League until some 1/2 way into the book).

I'm really bad with titles so any help would be lovely Its been almost a year since the zombie virus spread through the world and destroyed society as it was. Now pockets of survivors are trying to deal with the ever present zombie threat and a whole lot of other challenges as they try and rebuild. The story follows one particular group as they try and build a home. They go through a few different trials, like food shortages, other groups of survivors and what to do with the only carrier of the zombie virus that anyone has ever seen. The POV might bounce around between a couple characters, the leader of this group, the carrier and another, but most of the story is still pretty vague as I'm probably pantsing it. The story isn't meant to totally focus on the zombies, though they will certainly make a bunch of appearances. It will be more about the survivors and trying to rebuild. Thanks for any help.

OK, this is my novel. The plot may change just a little bit, Alecta has always had visions. She ignored them most of the time, fortune-telling was, after all, a trait looked at disdainfully by her fellow magicians. But one night, she has a vision so intense, she is taken to the local healer and there she meets the Guardians of the Four Elements. The Guardians summon her to their castle and her visions increase, becoming more intense, until she sees the final one. Four children would be selected to become the proteges of the Guardians. And four of them will bring about a change as big as the destruction of Atlantis. The only problem was, the wrong time was foreseen and the wrong dimension selected, so now instead of easily malleable children, the Guardians have to deal with teenagers from our Earth who simply refuse to obey. The teens are called Clarissa, Damek, Melody and Max if that helps. ANy punny titles are ALWAYS welcome!

I'm re-posting this, because I didn't really get many ideas last time... David is a teenager who lacks emotions. His brain controls all of his actions and behaviour rationally, and without any feelings attached. He can not remember ever feeling something deeply, and is struggling to accept the fact that he will always be emotionally detached from the rest of the world. With very few people willing to tolerate his behaviour, his friendship is limited. David has a "best-friend" of sorts; Eva has stuck beside him since childhood, and despite David's torturous antics, she accepts him for who he is and doesn't plan on leaving him any time soon. When Eva starts devoting her attention to other aspects of her like, this sets off a downward spiral of depression-like symptoms in David, without him actually feeling anything. Anything , people? :)

I could use a little help...tossing up ideas but haven't had a real winner yet. (Yep another Merlin one, he's a popular character ;) Synopsis: Gold glittered under a fine layer of dirt in the late afternoon sun, revealing the millennia old hiding spot of a small rectangular box. Evie Winters, a bright and passionate student archaeologist, was overjoyed at the finding after having spent the entire summer searching the site of an ancient castle. She believed that the ornate golden box held the key to finally finding the location of the mystical kingdom of Camelot.That is until she received an ominous warning from a gypsy urging her to return the box to the ruins before it was too late. The practical side of her quickly dismissed it. She certainly didn’t believe in curses. Or should she? The sudden and mysterious deaths of a colleague and the curator lead her to the conclusion that maybe there is something more to this warning. Worried that she may be next, she decides to drive back to the dig site in the middle of the night. However, before she could return the box, her car is rammed from behind and launched through the stone wall of a bridge, and into the cool, murky water below. Fear and trepidation send a shiver down her spine as she finds herself unable to get free. Slowly, everything fades to black. She finally awakens to a world very different from her own, and an unfamiliar face who calls himself, Merlin (So basically what happens is the artifact (a puzzle box) that she's discovered is cursed and causes her to go back in time to the days of Camelot where she shows a strong resemblance to Nimue. (Nimue is now in the 21st century and is the ultimate baddie). So Evie needs to convince Merlin she isn't evil Nimue and the two of them need to work to reverse the curse and defeat Nimue. Evie must also fight the urge to rewrite history by saving Camelot and Merlin.) Any suggestions? Or am I just confusing? lol. :) Thanks!

Their friendship changes everything Caelina thought she knew about the world. And when the people around her she thought she knew stops behaving as she thought they would and turns against her to protect their shielded lives she finds herself alone, with only the slave girl she loves by her side. But will it be worth it in the end? The slave girl's name is Shayna if that would help :)

I just changed my story to a whole different world, place, and people. I need a new title. Phillip is seventeen, his father's third son. His father is high king of the Realm. All Phillip wants to do is be a good warrior, maybe even general someday. Then, his father's chief general attacks, and his father and brothers go to war...and leave him at home. He stays for a few days, just to give them a headstart, then disguises himself as a commoner going to fight. When he meets a young guy on the road, he's dusturbed that the man will neither talk nor take off his hood. Then comes another. This one, Ri by name, is tall, lanky, and blonde. He, too, is an elf, so Phillip takes the chance for a better traveling partner. Then, he comes to find out his partners know each other. The hooded man ran away from home to fight in the war, and , being his twin, Ri followed. But something's not right, and there's something they aren't telling him. When they reach the battlefield, they find out his father and brothers have been brutally slaughtered in the night. Can he make it home before the runners do? Or will he miss his own coronation? So, yep. There it is. My plot - as of five minutes ago...Any ideas?

My plot is ever-changing, and this is my latest one which I think I'd really love to work with for the rest of November. I have an idea for the title: Chasing Shadows, thus the first paragraph of the synopsis. But does anyone else have a suggestion? My other ideas: You Are Who You Are, Pieces, Playing Memories Sometimes, you've got to stop chasing shadows. Sometimes, you just have to walk towards the sun, and perhaps then, the shadows will follow. I was sure of who I was and had always been in love with. Or so I thought. That is, until he came along, and I was left to work out whether or not I had remembered the wrong face all this time. . . He aroused so many questions within me. Made me doubt the inexistence of fairytales. And... Shouldn't the love be mutual for someone to be in love with another? But right now, that doesn't matter. Right now, I need to focus on finishing my studies. Oh, and, rebuilding my social status. After all, life doesn't revolve around boys and romance... Or does it?

But for Chase Ananth, the fallout has been a little more personal - in the death of her adopted father, Ishaan. Although Azir's no longer quite right in the head, she still wants justice for the man who sacrificed everything for her...and she's willing to sacrifice everything to get it. Murder trial, basically.

"Atrocity Adopted" "Mathe's Malice" "She Will Rise" Just some ideas to toss around, sounds exciting. Ok, here's mine: (copy/pasted from my synopsis) Ethan Dustly is paranoid and enraged by jealousy when he gains suspicions that his quirky, lucid-dreaming wife is cheating on him with a wise, tattooed black man who literally lives in her dreams. Tatsiana, his wife, has set up a pseudo-business in their garage loft where she charges passerbys for life advice that she channels from this dream man and other individuals in her head, like Miss Plum the Gardener and Billy the corpse toddler. Ethan doubts the validity of it all, but is too preoccupied with his job at the iron mine to put a stop to it, where he works as foreman for the international mineral company, Ipsapex. One day, Tatsiana manages to convince Ethan to receive his advice from the dreamly realm. Then, to both of their surprises, he is instructed that murdering Curt Vanamo, Ipspapex CEO, is his best course of action. Why? VJ, the tattooed black dream man says so. At first he dismisses it and begins to really question his wife's sanity, but as strange things start to occur (that may lead him down that path), he wonders if Tatsiana's dream-weaving is real after all. This is a story about jealousy, lucid-dreaming, paranoia, and the bonds of friendship.

Got anything for this? Jewell is a Necro (Necromancer ~ those who can raise the dead). After years of war between humans and Supernaturals her family and her kind are accepted into society. Sawyer is a shifter (Morphling ~ those who have the ability to transform into certain animals). He comes from the family that originally started all the shifters, forcing him to continue on the family line, or lose the honor of his entire family. Now a days its not unusual to be different in society. Over 60% of the world is supernatural. Mixing different kinds of Supernaturals and humans is a dangerous threat to the world. Sawyer and Jewell's realtionship causes major conflict between the two families. Time and time again they are threatened, by their family, their friends and the humans who surround them, to leave each other. Finally Sawyer makes the call. Will they defy the laws of the universe or be forced to remain hidden from the world, never being able to show the love that two Supernaturals can share.

What a great forum. I need help with my title, I don't like my working title and my imagination just won't help. It's a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Mix, here a part from my synopsis: "Cèlia has a scar in her face, gotten by the same accident her mother died. She has only little confidence and is a very insecure person, which comes down to the fact that her sister Madeleine blames her for the death of their mother. One day, she accidently gets hold of a casket. Besides the mysterious message, which is signed by the baron, it contains a necklace. The necklace however is searched for, the empires troops track down and follow the signal it sends. They think the necklace is a high developed weapon - and Célia possesses it." Thank you for help ;)

Misunderstood Beauty? With the scar and the necklace and the thing...lol. One day a girl elf's love dies in war against gargoyle like creatures. She follows and legend and goes to the leader to ask for his life back, for a price. She is tricked into giving away her first born son. 16 years later, Lyan is not dead, killed by the gargoyle leader, but is now his spy and knight. His parents don't know this, but Lyan knows that if he were to disobey the gargoyles, his father's life would be taken. He finally has had enough any way and runs away to the elf city. He hears his father has suddenly disappeared and then a gargoyle comes and warns him that if he tries anything, his father will die. He meets a girl, and finds a way to kill the leader and his minions. After cool battle scenes, he does and it's happily ever after. I was thinking like, 'Owned' or something like that?

Hmm... maybe something along the lines of "Thieving Gargoyles" or "Gargoyle Owned"? Cause seems to me it has lots to do with gargoyles. Here's mine: Holy Art (White magic) users decide they are the most powerful users of arts (magic) in the world and set out to prove it by killing all those who use any other forms of the Arts. This was a war called the Purging, its been going on for some time when they came to a small village and killed all the Art users, including Cloe's brother, Jarett, and her truest friend, Wren. Now she's out for revenge after seven years of training under a Lich and master of the Dark Arts. She's become a Necromancer for the sake of revenge and to bring back what was taken from her. Any thoughts as to the title?

Anyone got any ideas for this? I'm completely stuck. Psychic FMC realises there's someone committing ritualistic murders in the area so they go to the police, who laugh them off. Eventually one of the detectives comes to realise that maybe the psychic had a point, so he goes to suss s/he out. Together they do some research and come to the conclusion someone is trying to free Astaroth, the trapped demon of vanity, lust, and seduction by finding the most vain people in say a bar or club, going home with them for sex, then killing them afterwards by cutting them up and making them as gruesomely ugly as possible.

Ok so here's what I got. It's a horror story. A Marine base in the Midwest accidentally releases a chemical weapon in to the surrounding environment, this release subsequently renders all who breathe it to fall unconscious and some to die. After a varying amount of time the unconscious wake up and find they are alone in a world of death, which on its face is bad, but in the end is not the worst. The worst is when those who died... wake up too. My working title right now is The Genesis Event.

The raper, Donnie, takes photos of her (Pepper, a completely stranger, finds Katherine and helps her get back to the party) and by the next week, everyone knows. Her friend calls her a whore, and Katherine is forced to rely on another person she barely knows. Pepper helps her through and eventually confesses that she was raped by Donnie and his group of friends. After awhile, the two girls can no longer deny their attraction for one another. Donnie finds them holding hands one day at a club and begins taunting them. Pepper beats him up, and it becomes the talk of the school. Afterwards, Katherine learns to stand up for herself and ultimately not care what anyone else thinks.

Some kids accidentally don't have their soul removed, act like asshats and are scorned by their soul-less peers, so they form an underground and decide to go fight these supermean scientist dudes. ... Except the scientists are totally right about souls being bad when not handled correctly and I have no idea how I'm going to resolve this 8D -- though I do imagine it's going to be very very poorly written, full of completely non-serious shenanigans, and probably some equally non-serious wild moostriches.

ok, so i have this story that i'm going to be writing as a second nano this year (meaning, yes, im going to attempt (key word ATTEMPT) to write at least 100,000 words this month and 2 novels XD im nuts) but i have absolutely no title for it can someone help me? Here's the synopsis (I suck at writing these so bear with me) : After becoming jobless, Molly Tember consults the newspaper ads and settles on a regular house sitting and baby sitting job that claims to pay decent enough. The "baby" is not at all what she expects when she is introduced to Jacob, a sixteen year old boy with an unhealthy obsession with superstitions. But his elder brother Lucas has a few secrets of his own that Molly uncovers by mistake when she finds a low trapeze and a tightrope in the attic and realizes its not just Jacob who has issues. With the help of a friend who keeps Jacob entertained and happy (and maybe even tries to return him to his former self), Molly tries to figure out why Lucas quit the circus when he clearly loved it. She also wished she could figure out why neither of the brothers will get in a car. (ok that was lame. just help me out plz? i would be forever grateful and you would get e-cookies!)

How about this one. Present day. High School. Main character is a girl made fun of for being gay. She's never said she was everyone just assumes. One day she finds a popular girl crying, shaking, in pain, and on the bathroom floor. As soon as she touches her, the pain stops. This happens several times. Eventually the pop. girl tells her what is happening, at least what she thinks is happening. She can hears people's thoughts. Recently, however, it's been going a little haywire, until the main character touches her. Later, once the pop. girl says somthing to upset the MC, the two are not in contact, the pop. girl is pulled out of school and a few weeks later the MC goes into a comma in the middle of class. When the MC wakes up she is in a bed next to the Pop girl. Dr.s and the pop. girl's father come in and basically tell her that the two of them are not humans but a species from another planet that are not Female and Male in the human sense of the words but more like a dominate and submissive partnering. In their species once you find your soulmate, and there is only ever one, you go thorugh a bonding process and are together for life. once this bond is made, they start to gain more and stronger supernatrual (to humans) capabilities. However, if they do not bond and accept their fate, their hearts will slowly kill their bodies until they are both dead. So, What should I call this?

K y'all! I need a title! In all my desire to just NOT plan anything and just run with it, I found myself becoming anxious! So, I came up with a few characters a plot and a basic story line! Can't WAIT to start writing, but I need a new title.... I named if the Preacher Kid... and I hate that title. It's about this girl who has a large family and hates the fact that she's a preachers kid because everyone expects her to be perfect! While a second story line is going on where this guy has terrible terrible parents are they are abusive and want to get a divorce, and he just wishes everyone would give him a chance and not judge him based on where and how he lives. (In case you can't see where this is going.... ;) ) Anyways, thats basic plot. The girl's name is Faith and the boys name is Jay. Any suggestions for a title?

Okay WriMos, I need some help. At the moment my title is Forever Young but I'm not that happy with it. Here's my summary: Fame, money, and adoring fans. What more could a singer ask for? Victoria Power is the lead singer of Professor Vector, the hit band that flew to the top of the charts overnight. She and her bandmates would be absolutely thrilled with life if it weren't for one thing: Alex Beckett, the guitarist. Alex's drunken escapades have been dragging the band's name through the mud and they're all fed up with him. As the band's fame grows so does the tension between Alex and bass guitarist Adam until everything comes to a head mid-concert and all hell breaks loose. The summary isn't that great at the moment. :/ Basically the tension is a love triangle involving Alex, Adam, and Victoria but she's oblivious that the two are in love with her.

Oh, I do need help here! Okay, Synopsis: She was a good Christian girl until it happened. Sure, her life was slightly dull, and she only had vague ideas of someday changing the world, but all in all, it was a good life. She had an excellent fiancé, an enjoyable, if rather boring, job, and volunteered regularly at her church. That all changed when she was kidnapped and turned Vampire. Can she remain true to her faith? Can she save her soul? Can she resist the evil she's plunged into? And can she save her fiancé from the same fate? Working Title: Blood Sacrifice More Info: it is set in the present day, and Vampires who have NEVER drunk human blood can withstand the sun (they are slightly sensitive, but normal sunscreen fixes that). They do NOT sparkle. While they are not exactly corpses, they certainly aren't human. Pale, of course. Retractable fangs. Inhuman speed, strength, and endurance. Human-blood drinking vamps are stronger than animal-blood drinkers. Some have mental powers (think Legilimency and Occlumency). They do not need sleep, and enjoy human food as a diversion. They are capable of sex, and due to the healing characteristics, virgin Vampires are forever, well, virgin. Vampires who drink human blood are severely incapacitated by Judeo-Christian beliefs, while Vampires who have only drunk animal blood in their unlife can tolerate Judeo-Christian beliefs to varying degrees, especially depending on their beliefs in their former lives. There will of course be an evil Vampire cabal, and a reason that my heroine (who doesn't have a name, yet!) was turned (chosen specifically to fight the cabal?), and a love interest. Oh, and my heroine still lives at home with her large family AND shares a bedroom with her little sister, so keeping them from discovering her new secret will be interesting. ;) Any ideas?

I posted my synopsis last night when the boards were rather dead so here's another shot at it. - 2011 - A NY cabbie witnesses a mob hit. Now the 'the family' is after her, but there is more to their pursuit than meets the eye. Does it have anything to do with the stash of letters she discovers just before fleeing? - 1826 - Annalise Ferris travels to the west to stop her sister from becoming a mail order bride. Now the law and outlaws are after her. Why? Does it have anything to do with their uncle, who disappeared, only to die in her arms? An adventure in any time period, with cameos by past NaNo characters and a few current TV favorites. I'll be writing both stories with Anna's bits as extended flashbacks of sorts. It's her letters that the nameless Cabbie comes across. Anna will work for a bit as a Harvey Girl and cabbie goes into WITSEC. Just to flesh things out.

Elianna, born to nobility, has her life turned upside down in a few short years. Starting with the death of her mother during a visit from King Rian and then the hanging of her father for a false accusation of treason. Elianna finds herself first dumped unceremoniously in an orphanage and then waiting on the courtesans of the kingdom, destined to become one of their rank.

Michael lives in a society where people freely and regularly commit to more than one romantic relationship at a time, yet, he loves only his childhood friend, Crystal, and wants her to love only him. After beginning a romance with her, he subtly sabotages each of her other existing and potential romantic relationships, deeply upsetting her, shaming his family, and earning scorn from the community. Together, Crystal and Michael struggle to understand his seemingly selfish motivations and try to determine whether their relationship can possibly endure.

You guys are awesome. These are all great titles! @Kate594: lol! ;) @philimbesi: I really like Bloody Faith. The Vamp's Dilemma might work for another idea I've got. @icarus_suraki: Church of England references are perfect, as are Roman Catholic, etc. My Vampires have more mythology from medieval Christianity than modern Christianity (mainly because a) medieval Christianity has room for mythology, and b) modern Christianity tends towards the (a)pathetic, sadly), so it's great. I especially like Cup of Salvation. I was raised non-denominational, so I don't know a lot of the older theologies (working on that, though! ;P). I may play with synonyms and word order. :) @lamuella: that is very good! I'll keep it in mind. :)

But when someone on the island recognises his ring as belonging to the prince in a country on the other side of the sea he decideds to cross the sea in the hopes of finding some answers. But when he arrives in the country that might be his home he soon realises that some things are not at all as he thought they would be. It turns out that the young man is not the prince at all. The prince is dead and everyone believes that it's the young man who has killed him. Now he must try to regain his memory and find out who the real killer is. Did he actually kill the prince like everyone thinks or did someone else do it? The story is low fantasy and takes place sometime around 900th - 1100th century.

My novel is about an orphan girl in search for a book her parents left for her. It is in the King's possession and eventually the girl gets sent to prison after a series of events. The Prince is kidnapped and the girl is the King's only hope in finding the prince. She is tortured in order to admit to where the Prince is taken ( she has overheard the kidnappers or something like that) and in the confusion she runs away. Later on she travel around with the kidnappers because she wants to steal the book from them, and she finds out that the King has banned this book many years ago. The kidnappers need the Prince and the book to complete a "dark ritual". In the wrong hands the book is very dangerous. The girls realizes that the Prince is in danger and she sympathizes with him, so she tries to help him out and also steal the book. What the girl didn't know was that her parent's "were the bad guys". Sorry, it kinda sucks. I'm still working on it. :)

This is a little rusty and I do have a few titles in mind, but, I'd love to see what you guys think! Human breath carries as much memory as a super-computer; bones to blood, blood to ashes, the imprint of humanity stays within the breath. It is the very music that charges all that flourishes in our normality. Like a well composed oratorio, life has been at a perfect equilibrium thanks to the compromises and pacts of Those above and Those below. But when a single stroke of the keys or a sour note is played, that balance is corrupted. Things that we cannot see have kept this world in order as far back as man's first primordial steps. Angels, seraphims, and cherubs reward the world with blessings, while incubi, sucubbi, imps and tempters seduce souls away that are not worthy. Lords and Ladies of Heaven and Hell watch and skulk about mortals with ever watching eyes. Perfect balance, perfect equilibrium, perfect normality. Those of the hellish, however, look upon the heavenly with green eyes of envy. It only takes one aria of the great demon, Asmodeus, to conspire with other high ranking evil entities to begin the next movement: complete and total control of heaven and hell, Armageddon. With this he sends his two sons, Judas and Lucian, to put this plan into action. Meet Melissa Ursuline, a curious young lady with a meandering mind who begins the overture. Being of good Catholic upbringing in a convent, she only sees and hears the word of God. Once sent away to study at a prestigious university, Melissa's entire faith is questioned as one disaster follows another. She is not the only one who participates in this composition; we have yet to touch upon a mischievous, plotting key keeper, emotion cursed incubi, or the twisted forms of those souls trapped in purgatory who suffered without prayers. Nor the canto of an isolated man who steals faces, or that of the Weeping Women. Perhaps we will touch upon an angel faced being who ascended from Hell, or the sorrowful nocturne of the lovers who were never meant to be. There is no main story is this piece of music, no, there is an entire menagerie of fantastic beings, mortifying demons, and moral questioning souls, in which all of their movements meld in together into a final recitative. Like the soft petals of the bloodroot flower, all form together to sing the song of the end. Will all hell break loose thanks to one incorrect note? Yes. And quite literally.

This one's a scifi from last NaNo, but I still haven't figured out what to call it. A young man named Stevie, expelled from piloting school, relocates to Mars, where he hopes to find his older brother, whom he hasn't seen in years, and start a new life. Instead, he finds out that his brother has been working for a Martian crime syndicate and catches the attention of the local crime boss, who wants to use his pilot training to bypass customs and transport drugs into Martian orbit, after which they'll be shipped to Earth. Meanwhile a government enforcer is trying to smoke out a conspiracy that has kept his agency from successfully prosecuting the criminals by helping them cover up crimes. He wants Stevie to be his inside man in the investigation. Stevie discovers a link between the crime syndicates and several big companies on Earth, who are trying to establish themselves as a pseudo-government in the space colonies by ousting the existing agency that's supposed to be doing that job. By sabotaging their crime-fighting efforts, the companies hope to undermine the agency's constituency support: If enough people on Earth and Mars collectively think that the agency isn't doing their job right, they can appeal to the Union of Humanity and replace the agency with a body of their choosing. The corporations want to be chosen for that role and basically become their own government. In the end it turns out that the older brother is a reporter who's been under cover the whole time, and intends to inform the public back on Earth about the corporation/syndicate scheme, thus preserving the agency's reputation in the eyes of the public. That's assuming the crime lord's hit men don't silence him first. Cops and robbers in space, basically. (And if it helps, I use a lot of imagery involving the sun and sky, which on Mars is kind of orangish, and describe how artificial light sources take the place of natural light in the space colonies. I feel as if it's an important motif in the story, though I wouldn't go so far as to say there's any symbolism here. But if you can work it into a title suggestion, I'd love that! I'd like to tie it in somehow.) Sorry for the terrible length of this post.

Fantasy. Current title: Age of Man Andren, younger brother of the king, went through the traumatic experience of being turned into a monster called falne, and then was turned back. Now he must deal with his conflicting emotions of being attracted to Krista, but feeling tainted, and like she's too good for him. To make things worse, he finds out his brother has gone mad and does not care for the welfare of his people anymore, and he has to dethrone him. Taking up the crown of king, he goes to visit their trading partners, making sure they are still on good terms. On his way back home, he goes and climbs the Lone Mountain (because he picked up a book that said there was hope to the east, and it's the eastern-most thing), and discovers the last remaining good dragons, who had disappeared after being beaten in the Great Dragon War between them and the current rulers, the evil dragon empire. (They rule the mainland, Terranostri, over all, but the island they're on has somehow mysteriously escaped their notice.) The good dragons tell him it is time for the Last Dragon War, and he must help them defeat the evil dragon empire. So he tells his people to get ready for war, then goes around Terranostri recruiting other kingdoms and peoples to take part. It ends with them winning the war, and dragons becoming very few, ushering in the age of man.

I leave it you fine people: It is the mid-2010s, just three years after a devastating disease has wiped out most of humanity. Injured and fleeing from a refugee camp that descended into chaos, Lennox arrives in a small mountain town where he finds the survivors split into two groups that are fighting over the few remaining resources and a mysterious man (think a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame or Phantom of the Opera) who has taken control of the public library and cornered the market on information.

One night, she fights with her parents and decides to leave her town. Poppy comes along with her, and they go on a bus to somewhere, she doesn’t care. But when they sleep over night on the bus, the bus breaks down at a plaza with a thrift store, so they decided to stop in there. When the bus starts working again, they get back in to find a wooden box with six items on their seat. What Ruby doesn’t know is that each one of those six items belong to six people that are gonna be an important role in her life. She must return each item to each person or else she will die.

I too could use a title--- Arliss is vain, irreligious, and apathetic of much of the world around him. So when he is badly scarred by the mustard gas of the trenches, he proclaims with complete confidence, he would rather live one day with his perfect face, than the rest of his days a monster. As a result of that statement he later finds himself skeptically accepting an offer by a mysterious doppelganger: "I will give you my face, if you will give me your fate." The last thing Arliss Ayres wanted was immortality. And so begins a search for answers, for a loophole in this twisted contract with an entity that seems to not even exist. What follows is a journey progressing through the first half of the twentieth century, as a grim world of dark magic, amaranthine, and the macabre reveals itself. But decades can change a man. As a now increasingly distant objective justifies a tangled web of lies, avarice, and contracts, he realizes, He traded a grotesque appearance, for being a monster of another kind.

I'm having a horrible time trying to come up with a title... both for this novel, and for the series it's a part of. (But I do have a tentative, very lame name for the series, so that's not priority) It's a vampire comedy about a high school girl who hires a math tutor to help her graduate on time, only to find he, his whole family, and his roommate are all vampires... annoying, quirky ones at that. Of course, she starts dating him, but then the handsome, charming new boy at school turns out to be totally into her... and turns out to be a werewolf. Book 2 specifically (what I will be working on this November) deals with her vampire friends coming to her rescue after she is kidnapped by some very creepy guests at her boyfriend's house, figuring out the best way to dump her boyfriend so she can chase after the werewolf instead, and deal with the fact that creepy, obnoxious vampires are now coming from everywhere to hunt her down. Meanwhile, her boyfriend's roommate accidentally started drinking the blood of drug addicts, and may need to go to rehab.

I need help with names as well as titles! This is a fantasy / diesel punk mashup. Working book title: World of Spells and Gears working world name: Nerial Working protagonist name: Jack Working magic name: Mana Working magic-user title: Mage They all stink! Help me! The world of Nerial is so overdosed on magic that Mana wells from the earth. Animals, trees, and even stone can come alive... and try to eat you. Humanity survives in walled city-kingdoms, protected by gritty handmade technology and resourceful alchemy. Most people exposed to Mana suffer poisoning, madness, mutation and death. But sometimes, if you're the lucky one in ten thousand, you become something... more. You become a Mage. Jack is a soldier of the King, stationed on a duty that's used as punishment: guarding the Baetylus Mines at New Calado Outpost III. His life is dangerous, filthy, and boring. That changes when he falls headfirst into a Mana well and comes out as a Mage, with newfound powers, needs and weaknesses. As both a soldier loyal to the King and a fully changed Mage, he quickly finds himself caught up in the tense relations between the Human kingdoms and the fledgling Mage nation. And when mysteries of the past become important, dark plans are revealed on all sides, and a new enemy threatens to destroy it all, Jack will have to decide who he is and what he's fighting for.

So here's mine. It's memoir about (um, er, well, yes) ME! (I know. I'm 50 and still writing about myself. If Anne LaMott can do it, so can I.) Anyway. At 49 while suffering from a horrible depression following a year in which my niece, father-in-law, brother-in-law and mother all died, I began dreaming about running. I tried to ignore the urge since I'd "given up" running 15 years earlier after a previous depressive episode, but I kept noticed friends of mine who'd taken up running. So I started - very slowly -literally 30 seconds at a time. That was March of 2010. A few weekends ago, I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles). It was fabulous. I've made new friends. My depression is in remission. I lost 15 pounds and 2 dress sizes and I feel like a new woman. My working (lousy) title is FROM MY BED TO THE HALF MARY (that's what they call a half marathon). And somebody already suggested HOT SEXY SNEAKERS. Trust me. That one doesn't fit. Anybody got any better ideas? Thanks, ~ Nita

Meanwhile, Beatrice Vaewren Arthenlorn, one of the two last remaining members of the powerful Arthenlorn bloodline and captain of the privateer vessel ‘The Blue Moth’ is forced to hunt down her twin brother, bound by a contract she can’t back out of. However, neither she, the imperial militia agent placed on her ship or her brother have any idea of just how much their destinies are entangled with the awakening world of the Veins. ~~~ At the mo' it's 'The Blue Moth', but I don't like it that much. Any ideas?

I like "Age of Man" too. The English word for "world" actually comes from Germanic roots meaning "age of man," too, so if you're looking for a real-world tie in or hidden meaning, that could be it. "Last Dragon War" also sounds interesting to me. "Hope to the East."

You could have the title be 'Fin'. This is obviously the word for a fish tail but also 'Fin' means 'end' in several languages. It's a play on words! Or you could just use 'Fin' for the end, if you don't think it's title-y enough.

Hmm... some things you could call the magic include the usual magic/sorcery or the more vague "energy" or "power." ("The Force" is taken, unfortunately; that's always the first one that occurs to me.) Or they could call it something that reflects the fact that 9,999 people in 10,000 who get exposed to it die horribly; I imagine that would make them fear it a bit. Some things I got from a thesaurus include "poison, bane, blight, contamination, corruption, malignancy, miasma, toxicant, toxin, toxoid, venin, venom." Any of these could be repurposed for the magic; the Blight and the Toxin are my favorites of that list. On the other hand, if you're going for a diesel punk feel, I think words like "contamination/contaminant," or "corrosive" remind me a lot of the sort of gritty feeling that implies. "Toxicity" is reminiscent of "electricity." Could be some parallels made there. Or maybe you want to use a word for energy that resembles a real-world type of energy, like modifying or playing off words like "volt," "electricity," "magnetism," "galvanism," etc. Or find a cool-sounding word in another language for one of those things and borrow that? As for the people who use this magic... If it were me, I would want a word for mages that resembles the word for magic, so that readers could pick up on the connection between them without having to be told, and that makes it harder. I think a compound word might reflect the time period... you know, like steel workers, [word-for-magic] workers? Or with an -or ending, as in creator/inventor, or -eer as in engineer. I hope these get you thinking or inspire more ideas for you. As for the title of the novel as a whole, if you do coin your own word for magic and mage, one of those words would make a great title---completely original and unique to your novel, descriptive of the main character, and intriguing to readers the way only a made-up word can be :) Good luck!

Just noticed you had a sort of Latin or Greek-sounding name in your description: Baetylus. If you want to keep that theme going, you could take one of those words ("corrosive," for example) and modify it to sound like a Latin word, e.g. "corrosus" or, from the etymonline.com entry for "corrosive," the old Latin participles "corrosio, corrosionem."

My story is about a man who accidentally killed his wife and daughter. He begins having a nightmares every night, until one night a hole opens in his dream and takes him to the Dream Factory, a strange landscape filled with towering, distorted skyscrapers and an ever-changing luminescent sky. However, he soon finds out that something is wrong with the factory: a corruption has taken over, causing a mass-production of Nightmares, creatures that mirror the horrific fears/sins of their dreamers. He must fight his way through his and others' nightmares to find the source of this corruption while dealing with the other dreamers (most of which are heavily traumatized/practically insane). However, the corruption may be the worst nightmare Erik could ever face. Title help?

Cool. Hey RayneFyre, could you help me out somewhat? I just so happen to need a title, too. It's seems like a common disease throughout NaNo! Keep track of whose who by MC as main character and O as her other friend. Ok, so MC lives on a planet -she's human, don't worry!- very similar to the early 1900s; the Depression era. She's friends with O who lives at another planet far, FAR away. O lives on a planet similar to the 17th century. (keeping up? Just joking!) Their planets used to be connected with a transporter so they could visit each other, but soon that transporter shut down due to lack of funds. So they turn to the reliable source of the letter system. The problem is, it takes years for each letter to be received, and by the time they read it years would have passed. So later on in the book MC gets a letter from O. O is saying she is very ill and is trying to get to a doctor but is afraid it might be to late. So MC gathers all her money to fly over to O's planet. When she get's there she finds out that O has passed away several years ago. So the story ends with MC visiting her friend's grave. I hope that wasn't to painstakingly long to read! So... Ideas? ;)

Peter can see dead people--and everyone thinks he has DID for it. Unfortunately, that's not his biggest issue, as the dead who come to him like moths to flame keep mentioning something about him being some sort of savior and it's squicking him out, because lawd if they're not mistaken. At the same, he's getting relatively certain the pod people have come for his best friends, because Kaspar has way too good of aim with a knife and Feidhelm has had an entire personality overhaul. Like, she talks now. Oh, and Big Bad--whoever and wherever he or she is--is trying to find him. Because he's supposed to do something impressive. As a guy with an eye patch and an old pelvis injury who limps, who may have killed his father (by cleaning the floor), and someone who has been known by a plethora of bad nicknames and doesn't have much license on reality, he's pretty sure he's not cut out for it. Especially since the people who keep telling him he's special are dead. Everyone knows dead people can't be trusted. They're bloody liars. Sometimes literally. Or they want to kiss you, or get you to sleep with them, or sometimes barter for your soul. Basically, bad information. Yet, going by the stories he heard one of the elderly women of his people repeat, them either Grimm or Anderson, or oddly familiar but completely out of left field, he might need to be worried. Sure, she looked like she actually was a thousand or so years old, but she had a pulse. She was so thin and thin-skinned you could practically see her veins pulsing. For the first time, the people who called him troubled are right.

She has unimaginable powers and she accidentally brought her house to ruins because she couldn't control it at the age of three. So what I really plan for this book is that her parents were part of this group, or an army, that used to protect the world from hidden evils and because she's grown to be the most powerful being in that army (or civilisation), there is a war around her. A war for control over her so she's really conflicted. Not to mention she has to deal with the fact that the man who raised her isn't her dad but a friend and she wants to find her real parents. Quite confusing maybe to explain but I hope you guys could help me with a title :)

I'd really appreciate some input on a title for this one. It's inspired by some Rudyard Kipling I've been reading lately, and the exploits of nineteenth century filibusters like Gregor MacGregor and William Walker: "A chance meeting between a former U.S. Army Psychological Operations NCO and a recently-divorced Economics professor results in a wild scheme to reinvent the Carribbean state of Poyais as an economic powerhouse. Financed by shady American business interests with their own agenda, the pair sets off to find fortune and glory in the island nation. Navigating corrupt government agents, foreign financial interests, and well-meaning but naive missionaries, they discover that the jungle nation is harsher and less forgiving than they could imagine. As the Professor becomes ever more enamoured with the perks of being a powerful industrialist, the NCO finds their situation increasingly unstable, and their environment more hostile than he could have anticipated. Trying to act on his own best conscience, he attempts to prevent his partner from pressing their luck too far but finds that it may already be too late, and they may be fortunate simply to escape with their lives." The best title I've come up with so far is "South of Sanctuary" which sounds, to my ear, like the title of a Harlequin romance novel, and I'd really appreciate any help in developing something better.

Hello, folks, My story is about a female MC who's name will start with a Z. She is the daughter of two elements who's union is Unnatural -- Fire and Water. It's decreed that she live in the Air's realm/court so that neither of her parental Elements can exert undue influence on her, since she's some of both. Basically, she's the personification of the "red sky at night" phenom, and all the characters are the Elements or their court. Z and Air have this weird relationship where their basically doing each other, but she sort of hates him and hates her lot in life. One day, Z comes across a mortal who has been shipwrecked and nurses him back to life. They fall in love. Air discovers it and it pissed. Z has to escape his clutches, find her mortal love and convince him to love her as a mortal and not with her immortal aura about her, and then foil Air who is trying to find her and take her back. I tried to make that as concise as possible. Sorry it rambled. I had sort of named this "Sailor's Warning" from the expression, but I'm not sure if I like it, or if I want something that plays off the Elementals more. Thoughts?

Exactly. "Tropis of Cancer" is an awesome title, but already taken. I REALLY like "Poyais, Inc." or a title that mentions the company. Somethine like, "Filibuster Inc." Because they are, essentially, economic filibusters. Thanks for the input, it's really got my wheels turning.

So... I sort of have a title? Only it does not precisely fit the story as I currently envision it. I'm trying for a mixture of magic and reality with this story. Any alternate suggestions would be lovely, basically. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucy's mother, Emma, is convinced her child has powers, based off one of the last conversations she had with Lucy's clairvoyant father. Unwilling to acknowledge his desertion might have been related to their relationship, and with a faith in truth behind his joking showmanship, Emma's imagination has placed Lucy's supposed gifts as the reason he left. Simultaneously loving and resenting her daughter, Emma often fears what she imagines Lucy will become. Lucy knows that her mother is incapable of seeing who she really is. More than anything else, Lucy wishes she could have her mother see her for who she is, because the girl in her mother's eyes is always Kimi. At least, that is what Lucy calls her. Kimi has been her closest friend since she was three, and they remain close a decade later. Lucy doesn't care that everyone else considers Kimi imaginary, because she knows the truth. Kimi might not be quite human, or even precisely real, but she will lead Lucy on a journey through the fantastical to see just what it takes to make a wish come true.

Hey, everyone. Having some trouble with a title. Would anybody like to take a stab at it? In Damieon and Erika's world, the government had long ago decided it best to manufacture and ship out all of the world's food and supplies from one island, located in an unknown location in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. But when a group of mysterious people destroy and pillage the island, the world is thrown into chaos, no longer receiving any type of food or vital supplies. Prophesied long ago by the world's delegates that Damieon and Erika were to be the ones that would save everything, only one major problem stands in their way: Never before have they met face-to-face. Separated at birth and placed into different families, the only way they communicate is through their mental bond, which allows them to speak with their thoughts. With nothing but the hindrance of long-distance teamwork, the fate of our world rests in their hands.

I have a title but I'm not sure I like it... :/ Everything starts when the perfect (but mushroom collecting) Princess Georgina is engaged to Prince Frederic (someone no girl would actually want to be engaged to) and finally runs away from home. She, being a perfect princess, is perfectly sucessful at disguising herself as a boy - who promptly falls in love with her temporary master, who is in love with a beautiful young lady, who, in turn, is enamored of Miss Boy. To make matters worse, her darling fiancé from her old life has been charged with the task of fetching her back and persistence seems to be his only virtue.

Hey! I have a title for my novel, but I don't really like it. My summary is as follows: Christan and Jack have been joined at the hip for absolutely as long as they can remember--even their dads were best friends as kids. High school is trying to change that, with Jack a soccer player that says all the right things and goes to all the right parties, and Christian a bookworm that can recite by heart the issue date of any Constitutional Amendment you care to name. The tension between them comes to a head when one of Jack's teammates picks a fight with Christian in the woods, knocking him into a coma that no doctor can explain. After three days of sleeping in the hospital, Jack is sure that the winged woman who appears in the door is a hallucination, and he sure as hell doesn't believe her when she tells him that the only way to save Christian is to gather totems from the seven kings and bring them back to her. But what the hell, you know? After all, life hardly seems worth leaving without Christian around, and if these seven kings can save his best friend, then Jack will do anything it takes to find them. /end official summary From there, Jack is thrown into a modernized fairytale mash-up, collecting totems like Rapunzel's hairbrush and Cinderella's lost slipper. He's really never sure if he's gone crazy or not, but the only time he feels okay is when he talks to Christian in his dreams, so he keeps going on some mad hope that it might save him. The story's called Grimm right now, after the famous brothers, but I'd like to change it. Any ideas?

Somebody-- aliens, future humans, it's all very unclear--rips people away (or at least, a copy thereof) at the moment of their deaths, throughout history, to fight a war. The reasons for the war, the forces behind it, are also very, very unclear. All that IS clear is that people from all places and times are being forced to fight each other, or suffer for their disobedience. At first-- though that first is a long time back, more mythology than fact-- they were all thrown together and expected to be a fighting army. Those in control soon learned the error of their ways and began organizing them into groups as much as possible: often temporally as much as culturally, and often by many other things (religion, etc.). Organization is left to each group, so long as they function and obey orders. Ian Sun, previously about as average a kid as you could find, never imagined a car crash and subsequently a mysterious army as his fate. Honestly, he'd been more worried about explaining to his parents that he didn't have a major chosen for college yet... and no, he really didn't want to be a doctor. Or an accountant. Or... really anything that made money. Imagine his surprise when "those damn video games" he'd been so fond of turned out to be really, really good for his career. Ian falls in with a misfit group-- gathered together more by skill and general inability to work with others than by any clear logic-- tasked mainly with scouting and clearing the way. And they are very, very good at what they do. (There really isn't an honest-to-goodness plot, yet, but it's supposed to be scifi, not quite dark but definitely not a comedy [unless "black humor in battle situations" count], and... I think it'll be kind of a coming of age thing? Probably.)

Hostile Takeover Coming Home Before and After The Way Things Are I need a title too, people! Here's a synopsis: In the city of Alden, characters are so lifelike, they come out of books. Literally. Not that anyone wants them to, of course. After a character comes out of a book, the story stops changing each time you read it. Jasmine (the name seems to be popular this year) thinks she's going to have an awesome summer. She's got a job at her favorite bookstore, her mom is in Greece, and her dad is working. Things start getting weird when she hears her boss threatening people in an empty office with a book in her hand. Sooner rather than later, Jazz meets Tom Sawyer, discovers that her boss sells book characters into slavery, and travels out to middle-of-nowhere Iowa to uncover the dastardly plot. Oh, and freeing the hundreds of enslaved book characters that are working on a "project" is on her list too. It sounds a lot funnier than it's going to be. Most of the humor will come from Tom, and a little from other characters. I'm dying for a better title than the one I have! Please help me people!

So I'm thinking "Denver's Story'" doesn't quite work as a title anymore for my novel as it is about so much more than Denver and his craziness now. Its 2011. Rassor (like earth) is ruled by the King and Queen (Morrison and Delilah). One side of my story is about a girl in the Population, Karina, and the other side is about Denver. Denver was a part of the Reserve but now is an Outsider/Doomed. He is taken to a hidden part or Rassor, where crimnals and those with defects are kept. His parents have disappeared, which caused him to do something with fire which in turn caused him to be taken to the Doomed. Then there is Karina, daughter of a royal guard, ear to secrets, but rebel. She discovers that the Queen is slowly sapping resources, without the King's knowledge from the Reserve, what else does the Queen have planned? Can she warn the reserve? What about the whispered "Doomed" what is that all about? There is trouble brewing, the Population is running out of room, plus more and more people seem to be disappearing to the Outsider area, or just disappearing. Where and why are they going there? What will the King and Queen do about the Population's growth, already for years there have been strict rules about children, who can have them, and how many have been in place, but there is only so much space. Are the royals trustworthy? Why are animals and people disappearing in the Reserve, even Denver's own parents? The two eventually meet, what will they discover? Is "Rassor" doomed? Can the animals and the population coexist ? Can one of the "population" and one of the "doomed" work together before Rassor turns into a giant war zone? I have way too many questions in my novel.

Okay, my original title has been "The Legacy of Elixza Brunweithe," but now that I've fleshed out the plot I'm not sure "legacy" is right. So I might as well post it here because this forum is really hopping! Synopsis: Elixza, 21, is the leader of a colony of vampires on an isolated island in the Atlantic (Europe side). The island is their refuge from the abuse they endured from being victims of vampire bitings throughout Europe. One of the colony boys, Nevan, gets fed up with the life of isolation and Elixza's overprotectiveness. After a fight between them, he leaves the island with the abrupt decision to do some pirating. Elixza is furious at the thought that he might betray the colony, so she chases him down. But he's already been caught by Captain James Lycius, a man who takes moralism and honor to an obsession. He refuses to release Nevan until he's been punished for piracy. So Elixza has to rescue Nevan, because that's what you do for blockheaded traitors who break your heart and then get arrested...right?

I have a "working" title, but I really am not happy with it! XD My partial synopsis {Now with a PLOT! XD }: The White City has fallen, the Great Ovate diminished, and many of the Dragons have become extinct over thousands of years after the first Imprinting by Dragon Maiden of Moonsong. Those from the first Imprint had the strongest connection to and the physical manifestations of the Dragons. Moonsong, who thinks her name is a joke inflicted upon her by her parents, is the great-great-great-great-great descendant of the Dragon Maiden. The thought of magic makes most Etherians scoff, and the talk of Dragons is a thing of fairy tales. But Moonsong can sense the Dragon-descendants, making her one of the best Lizard-hunters in her town. Unfortunately no one believes her when she starts dreaming of a flood of Dragons, scorching Etheria to ashes. And to make it worse, she's been betrothed to a cruel man who holds a deep grudge against her. Knowing no other option, she runs, intending to stop the Dragon-invasion, but also in a panic from her future marriage. Will she stop the invasion? Will she be forced to marry a man who unnervingly determined to make her suffer?

The Stones, known to the locals as the Witches of Windom, are a close-knit family of women made up of five tantalizingly beautiful sisters: Lily, Hazel, Violet, Myrtle, and Fern, and their enigmatic mother, Aster. The women occupy a quaint cottage on the outskirts of town near the woods in the small scenic town of Windom, Maine. The women run a small business of homemade botanical remedies and have a reputation for being able to cure practically any injury or ailment. With this gift of botanical healing and other unbelievable abilities, many of which are kept secret from the public, comes accusatory remarks of dark magic and snide comments from crotchety locals about their cloistered lifestyle. Skepticism about how the women spend their spare time began to stem from their antisocial living arrangements, along with random occurrences in the town over the years. The people of Windom know that to mess with the Stone girls was to mess with the devil himself. Perpetually shunned from the sanctity of Windom's modern day quilting bees and barn raising ceremonies, also known as PTA meetings and local book clubs, except of course when a mother needs a remedy for her colicky baby or someone has an ailment of some sort, the Stone women do their best to integrate into society without trouble. Unfortunately, trouble happens to follow the Stones wherever they go, thus rendering every genuine attempt of cordiality completely futile. The sisters are in possession of the Stone Family Books, scrapbooks almost like encyclopedias tracking the lives of the Stone ancestors, which have been passed from generation to generation for centuries ranging from the mid-1600s to the present. It is known to the sisters that their ancestors escaped freely from the witch hunts that took place in Salem in 1692, but while skimming through the books, one of the sisters discovers that some pieces of the family puzzle don't link up. Upon further investigation, the sisters uncover a secret gone unnoticed for all these years, that may have been the cause of great family turmoil. They must search deep within the realms of their individual powers and come together, with some unexpected help, to find the missing pieces of their family's history.

The planet Quorimodo. During the 480th year after the Great Compromise, a metal fireball came down from the sky, and human refugees emerged, fleeing a dying Earth. In the war that followed, they enslaved the planet's natives, a warlike hunter species called the Zarigaso. In the end, human dominance lasted only a short time, and the surviving humans have been reduced to small communities living among the few Zari nations that tolerate them. With the technology taken from the defeated humans, the Zarigaso have colonized the livable planets in their system. However, astronomers soon locate an unidentified, asteroid-sized object heading for their world. It soon becomes clear that the asteroid is actually a heavily-armed battlestation crewed by an unknown species. The nations of the world are warned to prepare for a new Alien War. In the coming storm, three soldiers from the world's dominant nations will determine the direction of the war. They are Alva Cielhord, the human prodigy from Tiparia; Saimon Namikobe, prince of the traditional Usak; and Jadith Kalna, prominent Gyle businessman and war veteran. Quarimodo is fully prepared to defend itself against the aliens, but will the invasion act as a catalyst to escalate the conflict between Usak, Tiparia, and Gyle to a new world war?

About a year ago, some people were kidnapped, tortured, and given superpowers by Aiken and his mad scientist, Silas. Now, Aiken is on to other things. He is collecting objects to make himself stronger and that he can use to create a dystopia because he really likes other people's emotional pain (a doomsday device, a mind control device, an artifact of doom, a book of evil, and a living weapon). A superhero with blood manipulating powers, an eccentric engineer, a roguish guy who can manipulate gravity, and a colourful young woman who likes explosions go to stop him. The plot needs a lot of work, but includes a race to the artifact of doom in the Amazon, a fight with Aiken and his followers, Aiken being betrayed by Silas who reveals he is the real Big Bad and was manipulating Aiken the whole time, discovering that one of the heroes is actually a spy, going after Silas and his followers with the help of a couple people loyal to Aiken, and a fight with Silas and his followers. Many of the characters could easily and sometimes do switch sides.

Need some serious help with the title since so far it's just being called "Celtic Story" on my word processor (which barely makes sense): "Alexia never wanted the life of a bartender in Texas. Deep down, she knew she deserved more than her current life path. When vikings invade her home, she discovers she was right. After escaping through a mirror and discovering her long-lost twin brother, Alexia and Andrew learn the truth about their existence. They are the true heirs to the kingdom of Celta located in another realm. Their birth parents were killed by their uncle, Prince Raspan, who is ruling over their kingdom with an iron fist. Alexia wants to fight for her kingdom, but Andrew loves his stable life in London and doubts the existence of other realms. When Gwendolyn, Andrew's guardian (who he loved like a grandmother), is kidnapped and taken into Celta, the twins decide to go in and rescue her. They discover a kingdom turned against them, except for a handful of rogue knights loyal to the long-awaited true heirs to the throne. Will they find Gwendolyn? Will they stay and fight for their kingdom?" If it helps, they have matching necklaces with a single key on it. The keys have the royal seal on it which allows them to pass through the realms.

The first thing that came to mind was "Reflected Fate" or "Broken Mirror". That's just me. I have a working title, too, but I don't know I feel about it. Story: All power in the world is shut down in a worldwide terrorist attack. The story focuses on one community and their dealing with their inevitable death. There are four main characters that cope in their own ways: fight, flight, fear, and freeze. As time passes and more and more deaths occur, the characters themselves begin to run in and out of the world of the insane. Any good ideas?

Key to the Realm Mixing Drinks Never Made Me This Drunk...

I've got a plot, but no title. And no character names. And no starting point. And I have three days... So basically there's a kingdom with a serious dragon beastie problem. When I say dragon beastie, not only do I mean that this dragon gobbles up fair maidens and uses their ribs as toothpicks, but this dragon also has this terrible habit of blasting the Beastie Boys from his state-of-the-art speakers – and caves, unfortunately, have astoundingly good acoustics. All of the people in the kingdom have been complaining of migraines. The king, ready to rid himself of this pesky pest, decides to send his four best knights to go and slay the dragon. And destroy his iPod speakers, too. Little does the king know that two of his best knights are not brave, nor fiercely masculine, nor have they got biceps the size of tree trunks. In fact, two of these knights are women. Both are determined to keep their secret on this quest to slay the dragon, and neither is aware of the others' true nature, but when the truth comes out, chaos and comedy (and of course, romance) ensues.

Well, they're not technically Celtic actually. I just use that name b/c I was listening to a Loreena McKinnett (sp?) song at the time :P. Also, I just use the word "Viking" as sort of a filler word until I can think of a proper imaginary name.

Thanks. I'll use that to try and inspire myself. Actually, I find it interesting that both you and I thought of fire in the title. My working-to-be-changed title was "The Fire Knows Me," which doesn't really fit the theme (and was based on some song lyrics I was listening to earlier). We may be on to something there.

Sounds amazing! Just reading the summary I was laughing! For the women how about one of them Corriander, and she could be called Corri or Corey when the King thinks she's a guy. The other woman could be Sanchia, it just sounds right for the time period to me. For the king you could name him Ramon after a French count from the 1200s. The starting point could be just summurizing what the current situation in the kingdom is like, and you could then easily transition to the king having converstion with his minister and advisors as to what do do about the problem My idea for a title is The Monstrous Migraine

JadeTiger712 — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 06:36:27 +0100

I always have a hard time coming up with titles. This is a offshoot of another story I'm working on. That one is called 'Splicers and Hunters" because it is based around Splicers (those affected by the chemicals) and Hunters. In the year 2194, the world has changed. The United States and Canada have created a treaty to keep themselves isolated from the rest of the world after massive attacks took place in Europe, Africa and Asia. The two countries have an open door policy, but have not had contact with any other country in the world. Dante Vincora was just a typical teenager. He had a great family, good friends and a future that was looking promising. The most he had to worry about was trying to get a date for prom. One night when he was out partying with his friends, the eastern parts of the United States and Canada were attacked. Hundreds of cities and towns are destroyed, with millions of lives lost. Most of the bombs were just regular bombs, but some contained an unknown chemical. People who were exposed to the chemicals fell ill, and most died. But others like Dante and his friends were changed, developing powers. As the two countries try to make sense of what happened, major corporations stepped in and took control of the government, merging the two countries into one. Now Dante and his group of friends struggle to keep their powers a secret, afraid of being persecuted by the new government.

I would go with something like "Hiding in Isolation" because the the two countries isolated themselves and then merged into one country and are probably still trying to isolate themselves to some extent. Also Dante (a name I love btw) and his friends are hiding and probably isolating themselves from anyone in the government or in anyway that they could be connected with the government. Good luck with Nano!

Well, I cannot think of a proper title for that one, I'm afraid. You seem to have it covered. Here's mine: A pendant exists in a fictional world. Its power allows one free wish per person should they have it in their possession. Though the more you use it, you pay for the power with your own lifeforce. You cannot wish for more lifeforce for yourself once you have already made the first wish and few know that fact. Asa, a young mercenary woman traveling the lands, is recruited for finding this pendant for a count who have angered the Fae who has declared the Wild Hunt on them once again. She has a fortnight to find the pendant and ensure that the Fae cease their declaration of war before it becomes reality. Asa was born a bastard and raised by humans and whilst she is intent on finding this pendant, does she do it to save the people, or just to satisfy her own desire to know of her parents?

I don't think I've ever been able to name a project, so this thread might be able to help me out this year. :D I'm writing a story about pre-apocalyptic zombies: six ordinary people die a few days before 2012, then they come back to life secretly. They don't particularly want to go around eating brains, but they figure if they're there, the apocalypse will come soon, so they wait it out, then the day passes and nothing happens. So, they decide to start the apocalypse themselves, and hijinks ensue. :D I'm thinking it's going to have a whole lot of black humour, snarky teenage zombies, and some interesting conversations about religion on the other side of this whole life/death debacle. I'm also fairly certain it will suck, but that's neither here nor there. :D

All his life, a young boy has seen shining balls of colour as darkness fell and he went to sleep. It took him a while to realise that nobody else could see these balls. His childhood is a mixture of memories of reality and nights straying off into other worlds. He realises as a very young child that he can open these gaps (essentially "holes" in the universe) and travel to other worlds. A lot awaits him in different worlds and he finds that there are very few children from other universes who can do the same. However, as he grows older he realises there is danger lying in wait in these other worlds. In a far off universe similar to ours, a young boy was growing up of exactly the same age and appearance as the first. However, unlike the first, he was being raised to kill. Eh. It's not great, but it's the best I can think of at the moment and I've got to come up with something. Any title ideas?

In the midst of the final war between mortal and god, conspiracy and violence runs rampant. Kingdoms plot against their own kings, civil wars bloody the land, and a race of beasts seek to enslave all of humanity. As the endless conflict reaches boiling point, from out of the desert comes a single man, Kazernein, a man who stands before the highest powers in the land, and declares that he has come to destroy the world and replace it with something new. Even as this heretic decrees the apocalypse, politicians and soldiers plot against one another, clans of assassins kill innocent people, and armies fight against the very law of the universe. The war for power wages on, and whomever wins will determine the fate of all existence.

@tryxchange; What about Picture Imperfect? @AsbesdosMoth; A Moth's Rage* Blood for Blood Crimson Tides Scarlet Savage [[or Savage Scarlet] When the Hourglass Runs Out *Because moths are sometimes associated with death, not your screenname. I felt a little like I was coming up for episodes titles for the Mentalist. In fact, I think Blood for Blood WAS the name of episode. _______ Since I have a title for my NaNovel this year, I'll post my rough synopsis for next year. Lilah Macguire is an ex-assassin; over ten years ago she was a deadly woman who killed over twenty people. Only one of her targets managed to escape alive – her final target, a man who’s survival is what caused Lilah’s to stop killing. Now a journalist, Lilah represses the memories of her days as an assassin, but they come back strong when a man, Adam Winchester, she interviews turns out to be the very same man she tried to kill all that time ago. He doesn't remember anything about the day when he barely evaded death, but his memories are coming back ever so slowly. Now Lilah struggles with the decision of whether to confess to Adam that they met much earlier than he thinks, or run the risk of him remembering on his own. Even worse, the two gradually begin falling in love, which only makes matters more difficult. The past always comes back to haunt you – and sometimes it’ll become your future too.

They give all their pilots (who navigate by being able to sense the inherent music of the universe) a sleep replacement chemical that eventually makes it so that they are incapable of sleep, but their brains can't replenish the valuable chemicals made up while sleeping, so without the drug, (and, some argue, with it) they go insane. My character is not renewing his commission and instead is going to retire to a less inhabited planet that has yet to be sucked into the rebellion that is going on because this is a space opera, so of course there is a rebellion, and on his way to his first commercial/non-military flight in 6 years, he robs a military hospital at gunpoint for their entire supply of the drug and accidentally takes a woman hostage. Then. Stuff. I don't know-- that'll cover the first couple hundred words at least??

Unable to see eye to eye, they often go their own way. Old money runs deep in their family, and the family name is one of the most prominent and successful in the community.

Or will the family secrets tear them further apart?

I hope I've came to the right place!... *snicker* I'm horrible at jokes! Anyways... There is invaders that have camped out on Earth. The government is worried that the invaders are going to strike a war against Earth to inhabit it, but so far all their doing is sitting around. Skittish, the government sends out their own camps, miles from the invaders, to spy on them. They send out 5 camps, mostly made up of soldiers in case the invaders make their first attack. Lurisa Smith, the MC, is in camp #5. A simple cook for the soldiers, she finds herself in love with the messenger boy that was sent to spy on the invaders. Little does she know a minor soldier, Lance Penn, is in love with her. Later in the story she is in the middle of a war; the first move from the invaders. Lance is seriously injured while camps 1-4 is wiped out. Haven't figured the ending yet, but hope the story improves as I go along. Any ideas?

@K.A.Lyons: "Secret Stones" is the first thing that popped into my head. I love the idea of your story, by the way~ Now I'm going for a slightly morbid plot idea. (I decided doing one long story, and various other short stories. Sorry for the weak summary... I was never any good at these.) After a well-known murderer named Jack (name will change) kills the son of Bob (name will change), the Chief of Police, he gets sent to a deserted island for an 'experiment'. This isn't actually an experiment, Bob just wants to see the man suffer for his crime. It will basically cause Jack to turn schizophrenic, and will mostly expand on his decent into craziness. - Hidden cameras have been set up to document his stay on the island. Most of it will be from Jack's POV, and it digs a bit deeper into the inner workings of his mind and thoughts. This part will probably be choppy and erratic, considering it can give the element of true madness if done properly. These POV's can change from time to time, to what ever seems appropriate when a problem arises. The whole feel of the story should be is entrapment, helplessness, and how the decent into an even crazier existence feels like within the antagonist's perspective. It ends with Jack finding and torturing Bob in the worst way possible. This way, it leaves opportunities open for a part two~

My synopsis: After a nuclear bombing that spread around the world, some children developed special abilities. Countries fought over them and every military wanted them. When they find out that scientists are planning to dissect them in hopes of duplicating their powers, a group of twelve kids escape from the government facility they are being held in, with the goal of finding other like them. But when they get out, they realize that the outside world is not as great as they once thought, and the government will stop at nothing to get them back... Fritz was the first to be taken away. When Felix and his best friend Seth find out what really happened, they realize what they have to do: escape and run for their lives. They take with them an entourage of 10 other kids, and set off to find others of their kind. As the government comes closer and closer to finding them, they realize that someone in the group is a traitor and is somehow giving away their positions to military officials. Then the city they are in goes into lockdown, a reward is offered for their capture, and the kids find themselves surrounded by danger on all sides.

I'm really stuck at the moment for a title. Please help? At the end of summer each year Lena, the spirit who overseas the passage of the autumn, awakens. The people of the villages surrounding the Düster Forest despise her, for instead of just quietly getting on with her duties she causes havoc throughout the province, normally at the cost of a few lives. The main problem however is her "challenge". Any human who finds her in the forest will be awarded a prize, she'll kill any man, woman or child they choose. Circa, a traveller through the country comes across her by accident but refuses to accept her gift. Now Lena has put him on her reaping list for the end of the autumn when the killings take place, and he must fight to get his name off it.

Your idea scares me xD I've never been one for getting into the head of the crazed killers, but I have to say, it's a very interesting premise for a book! Kudos to you :) Some ideas- Spiraling Down The Descent (I like this one, since you seem to be focusing on how he goes from bad to worse) Two Wrongs (Killer & The Chief of Police faking an 'experiment'. Playing off of- Two wrongs don't make a right) Surviving Insanity A Killer's Reality

I /think/ Ashton will end up being my protag's name, but it's still up in the air. I shall probably end up naming the woman "Bunny" after a song a writing buddy keeps getting stuck in my head.

This is the synopsis that I have on my page. I've gotten a few suggestions for it already, but I'm not sure anything has clicked just right yet :/ Can someone help me out? When you die, angels do not sweep you off your feet and whisk you away to heaven. You instead find a long - almost never ending - staircase that you feel you must climb. Once you start, your journey to heaven has begun and you can never return to Earth. But souls learn quickly that gaining access to heaven isn't so easy as climbing a few stairs. They must learn to forgive their imperfections - that which they hated most about themselves - during life and move on. If they do not, they are destined to remain walking forever. I am one of the souls who hasn't forgiven himself. I don't know how long I've been here. The number of souls I've seen walk through is countless. They all learn things about themselves as they walk. There is only one thing I've been able to grasp on these stairs: I cannot walk. Extra information: This story is from the perspective of the person talking in the synopsis and he was a cripple who wanted to play sports while he was alive. This story will only revolve around the journey of four souls other than himself. Because the narrator doesn't believe that he can walk, he floats around the stairs instead of walking up them. When a new soul comes along, he floats with them as they walk and tries to help them forgive themselves so they don't get stuck like he is. They might even teach him a thing or two ;)

"Autumnal Reapings" Simple, but succinct "Murderer's Challenge" or "Killer's Challenge" Lena has murdered. It's her challenge. "The Challenge of Autumn" or "The Vicious Promise of Autumn" She's the spirit that overseas autumn, essentially. Again, her challenge. Also, the prize or promise of completing the challenge is horrifying or you might say, vicious. "Lena's Challenge" Her challenge is to find her. "Circa's Fight" He has to fight to get off that list. I wasn't sure if you wanted it to be vague or direct, so I gave you some of both.

The Scientists. They have always influenced the life of Jamie Jones, though often, she doesn't know it. Most believe they are simply a myth. A conspiracy theory about a cruel, detached civilization that controls their world. They are said to have one goal. How far can you push someone before they break? Those who believe are often locked in asylums. However, "In a mad world, only the mad are sane." (Akiro Kurosawa) I put "The Experiment" as a title on my novel page, but I don't think it's a very good title for this. I simply used that so I would have something there.

@momo15 I'd try to combine the significance of the character's inability to walk (assuming they are the main pov), as well as the ascension of the stairs. The one that immediately comes to my mind is: Ascension - Refers both to the process of walking up the stairs, as well as the character's own associations with other characters as they seek forgiveness so they can move on.

How 'bout "Terrae?" It's Latin for 'of the Earth." "Of Earth" is okay, but a little vague and boring. However, "Terrae" sounds interesting, and a lot of people know that terra is earth in Latin, so it's not too confusing either.

@ Liberty Girl The World Breakers is what came to mind for me. In the ghost city of Sun Aris lies an artifact from before the eons when the Mad Ones threatened to consume the world. To a science-mage turned mercenary seeking to correct past transgressions, it is redemption. To a former heiress on the run, tortured with uncontainable astral power, it is salvation. For the last scion of a great bloodline questing to finish what her ancestors started, it must be destroyed. To possess this relic is to seize the power to extinguish or to magnify the effect of astral magic in the world. Only one can control it, and possession ends the prospects of the others. But to direct this artifact requires setting foot into the lifeless research city of Sun Aris, an infamous metropolis whose population vanished decades earlier. A great thirsting power dwells in the heart of the city, drawing strength for the era when the Mad Ones shall swell across this land again. So maybe it's a little less a synopsis and more a cover pitch, but I'm still looking for ideas. I've completely obsessive about picking the right title.

Things can be uncertain when the government of a massive city isn't what it seems. Sure the city may seem safe, but safe from what? What if the threat actually lives inside the city? Government corruption, a failed assassination plot and someone who's determined to find the truth and expose it to the public. But the biggest question remains, can Talia keep ahead of all this while managing to not lose everything in the process? There's going to be a bit of parkour in the novel, so I had the working title of Free Run (which is a play off of the term free running), but it doesn't feel like the perfect title yet.

@Bookcrazy: The Thorns, The Roses' Thorns, Beauty's Mischance, or you could go super simple with Milena and Ophelia..... My Synopsis: Time marches on, and the things that happen in the past stay in the past. The stories of the people, their wars and hates, their loves and victories, exist only on the pages of heavy history books, destined to gather dust were it not for the curious eyes of kindred souls. Mira was a kindred soul, though time never did her well. It would speed up and slow down, always pulling out the rug from beneath her feet. Until that fateful day. As Mira discovers a strange new reality, a strange new "time," if she can call it that, she also discovers a mystery, a cover-up, an entire scheme twisting into the past. And suddenly, the past becomes all too present.

This is a story that is still in development so none of this is set in stone. I also plan on this being a five part series so not all of the plot points will be neatly tied up at the end. Basic Plot: Rumors are going around that the Life Stones that are being protected by the Cloister are being threatened. Rumor turns to truth as the stones go missing one by one. The main character, Mina, is reluctantly dragged into the plot to recover the stones. The world is one where by age 14 girls show if they have the power to connect with nature and manipulate it (called Mumeen). They go to a place called The Cloister at age 15 to train these powers. Some villages revere these women, but there are factions that want them gone.

@Hikiro-Lauren -Dream Walkers -Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Here is mine In the year 2194, the world has changed. The United States and Canada have created a treaty to keep themselves isolated from the rest of the world after massive attacks took place in Europe, Africa and Asia. The two countries have an open door policy, but have not had contact with any other country in the world. Dante Vincora was just a typical teenager. He had a great family, good friends and a future that was looking promising. The most he had to worry about was trying to get a date for prom. One night when he was out partying with his friends, the eastern parts of the United States and Canada were attacked. Hundreds of cities and towns were destroyed, with millions of lives lost. Most of the bombs were just regular bombs, but some contained an unknown chemical. People who were exposed to the chemicals fell ill, and most died. But others like Dante and his friends were changed, developing powers. As the two countries try to make sense of what happened, major corporations stepped in and took control of the government, merging the two countries into one. Now Dante and his group of friends struggle to keep their powers a secret, afraid of being persecuted by the new government.

My Story line The Loner: Ever since Michelle Charles could remember, her father has always hated and blamed her for the death of her mother and so he sent her off to borading school at the earilest age possible. Now after 12 years of having no contact, Michelle is suddenly taken from the only home she's ever known, to live with her dad. But what happens when Michelle's dad has a new found love for his daughter that is not your typical father-daughter relationship? What can she do when the man that's supposed to love and protect her is the very person that's hurting her? The Victim: George Gomez only has one wish - that he could disappear into another dimension. At home his father is a reckless drunk while his mother is fighting with a brain tumor. At school he is always the helpless victim of The Populars. But what happens when George's mother dies and he no longer wants to be the victim anymore? What would you do if you were tired of being the victim? The Populars: Steven Caverdale is the school's most popular guy. He's the star of the school's football team and everyone seems to love him unconditionally, but with his parents pressuring him to get into a good college, he knows he must start getting better grades. His only hope - the loner, geeky girl - Michelle Charles. . . All it takes is a deeper look. . . So this is my plot line for the NaNoWriMo challenge.

I feel so bad re-posting my synopsis but I really do need help coming up with a title. I don't have much of a summary yet but I know the MC is a sophmore in high school and over the summer a chain of events brought out a talent she didn't know she had: she is incredible at manipulating people, messing with their heads. Only months after she can't even help but control people. With an overwhelming depression taking over her, the things she does become progressively worse. That's all I have as far as the main idea, but I do have an excerpt that sort of explains some of the interactions post crazy with other characters: Three simple things . . . can’t be much trouble. Right? She showed no emotion toward me. I guess it could be worse. She could’ve humiliated me, turned my name to Mudd in the face of the public. But would that be worse? This was agonizing. I felt like I was part of a silent movie. No sound. No color. Just sight. No life. When the bus pulled up to her stop, she boarded without even taking once a measly glance in my direction. She giggled with some wannabe blonde. There’s One. The next stop, he joined the circus ride. At least he was human enough to give me a sympathetic look. He sat diagonally across from me. I stared at him shamelessly. Surely if anyone could understand it was him. There’s Two. Like bats out of hell we scattered the school grounds from the narrow neglected glass door after the bus reached its final location. Raise your glass; I set my eyes on the name engraved on the uppermost arch of the grand entrance—what were they thinking back in 1812?—the graffiti-vandalized mascot was painted on a wall to the left, the symbol of the good for nothing legacy; let’s toast to the last. Three. I buried my hand in my coat pockets. I cut my finger on the corner of a folded paper. So, this could scar me. That’s not what they told me.

So it's an AdventureFantasy/Erotica/Surreal/Romance (in that order), and I don't have a 'good' synopsis written yet. So here's the typical 'what happens in the beginning and then you have to read on to find out.' Lea and Milo are a pair of twins, who, unfortunately, come from an area where many rural villages believe twins are evil or bad luck. One day, walking back t their village, everything's eerily silent, and upon arriving, it's empty. Children's toys are still as though they were being played with, stores are open with change counted in front of the till, but there are no people left. With the mother they'd been caring for now hospitalized, there's no real reason for them to stay in town, so they take everything they need and go to figure out where everyone's gone. From here, they go on a fantastic journey, encountering all sorts of people and beasts, emptied towns, hot sex (twinsex), and get closer and closer to the villagers, or what remains of them. So: In short, I need a title for a fantasy quest type story, that happens to be surreal and filled with a pair of incestuous twins.

Welp, A Russian boy grudgingly moves to America with his family during the New Immigration of the late 1800s-early 1900s. Once there, he notices a distinct lack of acceptance and tolerance by the Americans of him and the Russians (along with any other Immigrant group), and although the jobs and economy and 'standard of living' is higher in America, the people and their personalities are 'as flat as their plains'. The boy begins to ponder whether this democracy, economic stability, and money was really worth losing both his friends, his emotions, and his innocence.

@ Uboa I like 'People As Flat As the Plains', honestly. I would also look into quick keywords you think describe the novel (immigrant, acceptance, etc) and find the Russian word for it. ____ Here's a quick (super) rough-draft of my synopsis. "[title] is story of music in post-Depression era New York City, following the lives of two very different families as they experience first-hand how a little music can bring big changes to the minds and hearts of the people around them. The O'Kelley family and their struggling pub are both on the verge of collapse when they find themselves swept up in the up-and-coming world of Mambo music in 1950s New York. The Castillo family is adrift in a new country and they're determined to make it big in the burgeoning Mambo scene, but they'll face controversy they had never anticipated."

So one day when a mysterious box and envelope with a key and directions is dropped on her doorstep she decides to follow it and she ends up finding a pretty old building in the "secret" part of town. When her best friend, Hannah sees it, she has an idea to open up a secret coffeehouse- only for teenagers. And without thinking Naomi says yes, and with the help of Hannah and her two sisters, they start a coffee house. But soon the letters keep coming, and trying to deal with school, running your own coffee house, and keeping your overprotective parents from finding out may be enough to make Naomi break.

I like Coffee Grinds. That's a good title. A verra short synopsis: After a nuclear war breaks out in an utilitarian society, a town takes shelter in a government-owned shelter. Follows the POV of a flirtatious Doctor, a too-serious teenage Librarian, and a Xeno who wants to hide his past.

SuziApplesauce - that isn't a lot to go on, but for some reason the first thing that jumped into my head was: Welcome to the Republic of Never I am not sure why that jumped into my brain, or if it even makes sense, but there it is, lol. Here is my plot idea in a nutshell, I am horrible with titles so my stories typically go by just a random word association, this one has been just "Faerie" since I thought of it, but I kinda want a title that doesn't have faerie anywhere in it... Avery Blackwood can see faeries. They don't bother her and she doesn't bother them, but they are always there. She learns to ignore them with the help of her Aunt Billie, the secretive and single sister of Avery's father who lives with them in the small town of Bernadette, Maine. But as Avery reaches her final year of high school, suddenly one particular faerie is paying very close attention to her. She tries to ignore him, just like the others, until one day this faerie - Kellan Pryce, as he calls himself - is her new English teacher. After a time of trying to figure one another out, Kellan finally reveals the reason for his presence in her life: she is the child and heir of the High Queen of Faerie, cursed with mortality as a baby and sent to live in the mortal world. Faerie is in trouble - the Dark Court is out of control, and only Avery can restore the balance by taking the throne of the High Court from her weakened mother. But first they have to figure out how to remove the curse. Annnnd cue drama.

@ Charlee - Wouldn't let me go to your profile. I have a title, but I'm still toying around with it, and could use some suggestions. Tempest Brown graduated from Harvard at the top of her class. After her masters in journalism was finished she built one of the largest magazines in the world. She earned her first million at the age of 25. Some people call her the greatest woman alive, while others call her the queen of death. No matter the names she is successful; and with success comes hardship. When she finds out that the fictional death she wrote for her note from the editor page comes true, her life comes to an abrupt stop. She's being tried for murder, her personal life is coming to shambles, and someone is plotting to ruin her life. All the while trying to manage a magazine empire that walks on a narrow tightrope of success or failure.

Mine's a little difficult, as it's a sequel. The first books was called The Nesting Ground, and took place while my main characters found themselves in a series of circumstances that led to both of them becoming much much darker people. Now, in book two, they're the bad guys. In a series of violent, childishly angry acts, they lash out against the people they consider scum, ignoring the warnings of the spirit who follows them to try and protect them both from what they've become. However, as they follow their new best friend and fellow trouble maker, neither of them realizes the danger they're in from him. Eventually, he will completely take control of one of them, using his magic, in order to get her out of the way so that he can pursue the other romantically. When the spirit stands in his way, he finds a way to draw the ghost under his control. By the time the main character realizes what's become of the two people who mean the most in the world to her, she's nearly too far gone, and must risk her own life to try and undo any portion of the damage she has done.

I really need help, my mind is so fried from outlining that I can't come up with a title to save my life. I'm sorry for they terrible synopsis, but hopefully it gets the idea across. Veronica wasn't thrilled with the idea of moving, but once she explores the old house, she finds something to help take her mind off the move. It's a photograph of a teenage girl from 1895, and on the back is the name "Belladonna." She seems long gone, but she may not be that far away. Belladonna finds new life threw Veronica's writing. Is it just her head, or are these dreams something more. Exactly how did Belladonna die, and why is Veronica's ex knocking on her door at midnight?

wisegirl — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 04:16:39 +0000

I need a title for my fantasy novel, so here's the rough summary: Sage Sorenson is a young girl living in Lorlost, in the land of Xandria. Her small, poor town is separated from the rest of the kingdom, as it is surrounded by mountains and the sea. All of the towns in Xandria have some sort of special talent, be it blacksmithing, entertaining, or something supernatural like being able to run as fast as a horse. Lorlost is no exception. Whatever a citizen of Lorlost writes something down, it comes to life. [A/N: Still working on the boundaries and limits of this power.] However, two generations before Sage's time, there was a war. The king of that time commanded the people of Lorlost to help him. In the end, they won, but the king was paranoid. When he saw Lorlost's power, he banished its people to the farthest end of his kingdom, and forbade them to use their talent. From that time on, no one spoke of the hidden power, let alone used it. Because of this, nobody was allowed to write or read. When newer generations were born, they were never taught how, thus the people of Lorlost became illiterate, not even knowing what writing or reading was. Sage's grandmother, one of the last living Lorlostians to remember how to write, taught her in secret. Sage never told anyone, although she didn't know of the power she had. It all changed when one day, a young man from another town (named Vander) came to Lorlost and begged for their help. Cain Blackwell, mayor, convinced the people that he was delusional and to not listen to him. Sage was the only one who believed Vander, and she was determined to help him, and find out Cain Blackwell's secret. This story is about Sage discovering the limits of her power and convincing everyone to use it again, to save the town. Yeah, I know this is a pretty long synopsis, I'm still working on narrowing the main aspects down. Temporary title is "Lorlost".

My work involves the story of two people, both musicians: one destined to become a great cellist, the other is a talented student who loves the violin. It describes their stories as performers in high school, the difficulties they each face, and their developing friendship which serves as a sustenance throughout the years for their respective dreams. I'm not sure I want to put a title on it yet, but am open to ideas and thoughts. The novel will deal with how each of them must persevere through expectations, struggles, and regular events in high-school/college lives in order to succeed in their fields. It will also explore whether they can maintain their relationship despite the demands of their talents.

@sheepmaster5 Here are a few I thought of -Let the Music Take Control -Everything for the Music -For the Love of Song Here is my synopsis. I have am having a hard time coming up with a title In the year 2194, the world has changed. The United States and Canada have created a treaty to keep themselves isolated from the rest of the world after massive attacks took place in Europe, Africa and Asia. The two countries have an open door policy, but have not had contact with any other country in the world. Dante Vincora was just a typical teenager. He had a great family, good friends and a future that was looking promising. The most he had to worry about was trying to get a date for prom. One night when he was out partying with his friends, the eastern parts of the United States and Canada were attacked. Hundreds of cities and towns were destroyed, with millions of lives lost. Most of the bombs were just regular bombs, but some contained an unknown chemical. People who were exposed to the chemicals fell ill, and most died. But others like Dante and his friends were changed, developing powers. As the two countries try to make sense of what happened, major corporations stepped in and took control of the government, merging the two countries into one. Now Dante and his group of friends struggle to keep their powers a secret, afraid of being persecuted by the new government.

In the year 2350, Russia, Canada and the US are part of an EU like organization called the Northern Union. The three countries have combined their national law enforcement authority to form the NUBI: the Northern Union Bureau of Investigation. Jordan Galloway is a US born officer in the bureau who patrols the Alaska-Siberian highway network. One day, in recognition of his excellent work, he is reassigned to a very special department of the NUBI. Humankind has colonized Mars, Luna, and some of the moons of Mars and Jupiter. The NU, EU and Greater China have signed a law enforcement treaty to help in the pursuit of fleeing suspects. Jordan is headed to the NUBI department that tracks them down. He will have a new partner, the veteran Quintin "Q" Bass who has spent two decades pursuing outlaws in space. I have a title idea (Space Beat), but I don't think its the best, so I was wondering what other titles would be good for this?

Very very basic overveiw of my plot so far. With a uncertain ending... Young girl sees man in her bedroom as she goes to bed; only to discover no one else can see him. The girl grows up with the ghost of this young man, a soldier from a bygone era, at first listening to bed time stories, as she ages he becomes her friend and confidante. When she experiences a significant emotional trauma, he is the one she turns to. Desperate to be with him she takes her own life (or) he is imaginary.

Titles are definitely not my strong point... Help please! Here's my working synopsis for my fantasy: Two long lost sisters are reunited by a secret organization in order to fulfill a prophecy that declares an overturn in the city's tyrannical government. They discover a hidden world of magic living alongside their own and have to learn about their own powers as well as their mysterious past. It doesn't sound like it, but there's going to be quite a mix of comedy in there as well, so I wouldn't mind it being part of the title, but serious ideas are good as well... There are several plot twists involving their family... Also, I haven't reallyyy looked into this, but I'm thinking of having a sun/moon relationship between the sisters, perhaps somewhere mentioning an intertwined Moon Flower (Ipomoea alba) and Morning Glory (Ipomoea purpurea) in the prophecy, if that helps at all. Thank you!! :)

She figures out that someone set it up like that because Earth was dying in three ways (war enviroment and evil people.) They needed to have the knowledge and mindset of the people of the past. There are four other like her (reincarnations of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Elizabeth Blackwell, and Gandhi.) She meets with them and discovers that they need to stop what is happening but the Earth isn't their only opponent. There are three entities that are against them in those three ways (war-Ares, etc.)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

When I Met Her — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:39:44 +0000

I don't know why, but the phrase "Dying In Three Ways" really stood out to me. I think that would be an excellent title! This... is not the synopsis on my Novel Information. It has a bit more of the plot in it, but it's written really informally, so I'm sorry. Okay so there’s this guy Kayin. When he was a wee lad, he was adopted by this older lady Kiskede, who is a priestess in a super old, mostly forgotten African religion. She raised him in the faith, and one of the big things in it is that when you’re in trouble, the spirits of your family sorta help you out. Ever since he was adopted, he’s had a recurring dream of some guy in a coma. There’s this other guy, Chi. Chi is distantly related to Kiskede, and he’s in a coma. There’s basically no chance he’ll ever wake up. This is important! He’s not quite brain-dead, though. He has some brain activity. That brain activity is mostly dreaming about some dude’s appendix bursting. On Kayin’s nineteenth birthday, his appendix bursts. Sucks to be Kayin, right? Right. But also wrong! Because, CHI TO THE RESCUE. Sort of. Chi’s spirit, astral self, whatever, anyway. Chi is all “Oh hey, I’ve dreamt about this guy!” when he encounters Kayin’s spirit/astral self/whatever in the world between life and death. And Kayin is all “OH HEY I’VE DREAMT ABOUT YOU TOO.” So then they go on a wild and crazy adventure through the spirit world to try and save each other and themselves. I dunno exactly what will happen on this wild and crazy adventure yet, but I’ll figure it out.

A group of renegades is working against the government "leaders" to restore the voices. They get caught, tortured, and all of their secrets get thrown into the open. One of their secrets can easily mean the death of everyone in their group. Will the super-smart child find a way to save them all, and restore the voices, or will they all die?

He takes everything way too literally (it's quite helpful for crazy inventions though) and doesn't notice when others are confused/uncomfortable/whathaveyou. The protagonists are fraternal twins who are opposites in pretty much every way possible. They get lost in a parallel universe, where they encounter said mad scientist, and are just trying to get home again.

Hey everyone. I am absolutely horrible with titles, so I could use a little help~ My novel takes place in the future and is about a girl who joins a rebellion against the corrupt government only to find out the government's actually run by her own mirror-universe counterpart. Basically, in our universe the earth is completely controlled and although there's no environmental problems and it's really technologically advanced, they have almost no freedom. In the other universe, it's darker and the earth has almost been destroyed by pollution/global warming, war, famine, etc. However, the few people who are left are free. The main character's double came to this universe to gain power and stuff. I'm not exactly sure how to summarize the plot. The main character's going to find out about the whole parallel universe thing and she's going to meet someone from the alien species that lives outside of the normal timeframe (sort of overseeing both universes) and they're going to try to fix stuff in this universe. Anyway. I need help with a title...

I have a title, Where We Come From, but I haven't worked out where they come from, and I don't really like it, so help much appreciated! Dee is one of the Unknown, the underclass living a life of poverty at the feet of the few lucky ones. Like most of the others, she was experimented on at a young age in the name of science, then dumped in the slums to wait to die. But unlike the others, she's not planning to die anytime soon, and through her wits and skillful trickery she's better off than most. But the question remains, that nobody voices: Where did all these children come from?

My Story is about a 15 year old dancer named Matty who develops Osteosarcoma which is a type of bone cancer commonly found in the legs and arms of teenagers. Only Matty's parents and older brother know about her cancer and she doesn't want to tell anyone else for fear that she will be treated differently. Matty stays strong throughout her treatment and does a really nice job hiding the fact that she is sick, but it later becomes obvious to her friends and others that are close to her that something is terribly wrong with her left leg since there is major swelling and she often leaves school to visit the doctor. So its basically about the ups and downs of being a cancer patient at such a young age.

It's 2100, America is now just like every continent, with each state being it's own country with it's own government. An organization has been recruiting young children within these countries who have lost their families. They are training them to take down the governments which caused these disasters and brought them pain. Unknown to the recruits, the organization has framed the government. Now, as the organization has the recruits bringing down the countries one at a time in an attempt to make America whole again, the recruits must learn what is truth, and what is freedom. I'm really not sure what to title this. I was thinking Truth and Freedom, but it just seems kinda...boring, I guess.

So my story takes place in an alternate universe type place in a country named Trinthea. It's told in from the perspective of Amity, who is a handmaid and companion to the Princess of Anglene (the country to the northeast of Trinthea) whose name is Felicity. Felicity is to marry the Regent of Trinthea in order to form an alliance between the two countries. Before the marriage can take place, Amity accidentally uncovers a plot that would oppress the Trinthean peasantry and put Trinthea at odds with Anglene. She tells Felicity of this plot and they try and escape back to Anglene (with the help of an opposition group). They get accused of kidnapping a head of state, and war breaks out and bad things happen, basically. It's kind of confusing - I'm sure a title will come to me when it's all said and done, but right now it's just named NaNo 2011!

@KiKiBee "Here We Stand" [Not sure where that came from, just the first thing that popped into my head. Well, actually the first thing was "I Am Spartacus" but this doesn't seem like that sort of story] "E Pluribus Unum" might be gratuitous Latin and sort of almost corny but especially considering the UNITED STATES have broken up and are split and the... wait, the organisation is the one trying to make America united again? Is this bad? Because then this title could work darkly or sort of uplifting if not @Gottawrite,right? [love that name] Is this a friendship story? "Losing Myself" In that the cancer is killing her and she seems to alienating her friends, leaving her alone in her pain. "Keeping Me a Secret" I don't want to make any references to the cancer because I feel like it goes against the spirit of your story... does she end up telling her friends? Maybe that'll help me think of better titles.

I don't know WHY I picked the first one, my brain just said, WRITE IT, WRITE IT NOW! o0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fifteen year old Taylor Glidden is awkward, has no friends, and is incredibly forgetful. One day Taylor finds out that his frustrating memory problems stem back to when he was eight years old and he witnessed his best friends entire family be executed while playing at their house. In an effort to protect the magical and arcane world they were apart of, Taylor's memory, was forcibly suppressed. Someone found out there is a living witness to the murders so Taylor is yanked away from everything he knows to be placed in a school for young students of magic and arcane, where he is now an even bigger outcast then before. To make matters worse he being forced to go through a series of traumatizing treatments to remember everything he has forgotten. To help him along the way, Taylor befriends his twenty year old mentor, Colin- a gentle, big brotherly athlete, Aspen- a fifteen year old flirty and punk-ish succubus, and her studious, no-nonsense girlfriend Rory, all while trying to protect themselves from the increasing violence between the magical council of Senzca and two extremist groups.

My story is about a 17 year old girl that knew her best friend since pre-school. I don't have any specific names yet, but I'm thinking the girl's name could be Amelia and the boy Sam. Anyway, Amelia started noticing a change in Sam over the course of a few months. He started becoming more distant and losing interest in his favorite hobbies, like photography. They used to wander about town, taking photos of one another and decorating their bedroom walls with them. Then one night, Amelia had to work longer than her usual shift was at the local coffee shop since they had live entertainment there that night and she was assigned to lock up the place afterwards. It was then that she witnessed Sam jumping off the bridge that went over some train tracks, right down to an approaching train below. The rest of the story is about her putting the puzzle pieces together, trying to figure out what had driven Sam to do such a thing. At the same time trying to figure out her emotions about the situation, and what she actually felt for him. This story is supposed to be based on an event that I went through, but I didn't witness my friend's death, and he didn't die that way. I just changed it around to make it more exciting, for lack of better term. Anyway, does anyone have any ideas for a title? I was thinking about the title "Missing You" but its not that original in my opinion.

Thanks for the help! And yeah, I guess any title for the story will probably be depressing, but my goal is for the story to bring tears to people's eyes. No, not because I'm cruel but because I think those kinds of stories really do change people for the better, and sometimes for the worse. I like your first suggestion, though. It seems to fit the story almost perfectly!

Love cannot exist where there is no Trust." The most beautiful daughter a father can ask for is cursed by the goddess Aphrodite and the object of affection of a God and she doesn't even know. Forced into marriage with an unkown being in order to protect her people, Psyche learns to make peace with her new life. She learned to be content with her situation until one day she loses it all. Having lived her life in an ignorant sort of bliss Psyche, must learn to what it means to live and not exist; to find out who she is now and find out what kind of life she can make for herself. When falling in love with a stranger, having that love take over your life, losing that love and life and having to find and understand yourself afterwards.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

StarFoxMcCloud — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 23:36:46 +0000

I thought that title was too depressing because of the whole "Oh God, why couldn't I piece it together, I'm the worst friend ever" implications- been there, done that. But, well... loved ones do tend to feel like that, at least at first. I'm sorry you had to deal with something like that, but good luck with your story!

Her younger sister, Kate, who was diagnosed with cancer when she was younger, as she grew older, she made a bucket list, which she didn't have the chance to finish. In her will, Kate says that she wanted Amy to finish the list for her. So, the story starts out with Amy leaving to go backpacking around Europe (which was one of the things on the list) while doing the other things on the list. She meets new people and tries new things. So yeah, I don't have a title....

Changed my mind. Saving the other for a later time. Instead, doing this: Lacie York has never been a normal girl. In fact, it's debatable if Lacie is even a person to begin with. She does odd things, and this tends to set people against her. Lacie's parents have been keeping a huge secret from her. She is the last of her kind, and she must find a way to restore her race before she turns eighteen. Enter Tristan. Tristan is the dark and brooding guy Lacie has been interested in since Elementary school. Something about him is not quite right, and Lacie seems to think she knows what it is. Will Lacie be able to restore her race with the help of Tristan while also helping Tristan, or will everything crumble to pieces? Needs a title desperately.

Here's the synopsis: Welcome to Clasweide - the lethally beautiful labyrinth city of crows and canals and stone walls. Soon the city will crumble into ashes. Amaryllis Mockler, a wild, unpredictable young woman, is arrested along with five other accomplices when she attempts to murder one of her father's patients. The only witnesses: a street urchin who seems to know more than he lets on, and Bryan Diers, the mentally unstable commander of the city guards. With only a week before she is to be hanged for the murder, Ryllis discovers that there might be more to the crime and her accomplices than was suggested, and it may lead to a more horrific and gruesome death even before the hangman's noose wraps around her neck.

This is my novel: Alis is captured by palace guards who insist that she's taken a royal amulet that no one has ever heard of. Now it's up to her best friend Vivera (Vi for short) to take the two hour train ride to the palace and kindly inform them that this is all one big misunderstanding, and give them the amulet back- which turns out to be just a pretty rock that they found a day earlier. The only problem is the train to the palace has been, unbeknownst to her, sabotaged by the thief hired to steal the amulet in the first place. So instead of a two hour train ride she has to backtrack in the complete opposite direction for many weeks to end up two hours from where she started. The thief (who is quite frustrated that he can't quite seem to get the better of a fifteen year old girl) attempts to follow her every move, and though she'd like to ask this strange man what in the world he wants he's much too frightening, and she feels that running away will be the better option. Along the way she meets Fellipaun, a cowardly Magic Wielder who is currently on the run from the law for attempting to escape the Wielders academy, and Brissila, a snooty mermaid who is supposed to be the next sacrifice for a giant aquatic monster. Combined with the sword she was given by a large blacksmith who claims to be able to see the future, Vi is quite certain that things are getting way off track. Especially when the person who hired the thief begins to get impatient, and they find out just what the amulet is for. It doesn't look like Alice will be getting saved anytime soon.

OK, please help with a title! Maggie Boswell grew up with her uncle in Maine, believing the local legends of an ancient species of wolf living deep in the forest, beyond human discovery. But now she is a well-respected zoologist in a big city university, and she has long-since concluded that the legends were nothing more than campfire tales. But when she is suddenly called back to the family home in the wilderness, Maggie finds that local enthusiasm for this mythical beast is stronger than ever. And when she discovers evidence that her uncle, a renowned naturalist, may be the source of many of these local tales, she decides that she must use her own scientific knowledge to prove incontrovertibly that the ancient wolves do not exist. She joins nature documentary filmmaker Christian Doherty and his crew on an expedition into the Great North Woods to find the creature. And when she discovers that her fellow humans are already out there trying to hunt and kill an animal that may not even exist, Maggie fears that human aggression and ignorance are the most terrifying phenomena she will ever find in the forest. But she is wrong.

Thank you for these suggestions! I like them all. It will be good to have them in the back of my mind as I write, because each of them suggests a different sort of novel and I can sort of try them on for size as I go along. And yes, if you think of anything else, please let me know! I will do the same for you.

[quote=Me.] So yesterday I finally got an idea for a plot. I was going to have it based around the red thread of fate legend, which basically says that you're connected to your soul mate by a red thread. The thread can become tangled but it'll never break, so you'll end up with your sweetheart someday. My plot is kind of based around a what if question: What if your soul mate commits suicide? So I was thinking of having the main character be this really cynical person that doesn't believe in love at all, their soul mates comes and goes, and then they actually start to see the threads on everyone. This'll all be in an urban setting, and I was thinking of having this old homeless guy be the matchmaker (in the Chinese legend, this old guy basically makes all the matches and such). THEN I was going to have the old homeless guy kind of rewind time to give the main character a chance to save their soulmate. They don't really want to because they don't believe in love, but they want to save the person regardless. [/quote] This is my plot. So far. It's a diamond in the rough and it's quoted from another thread I made, so I really don't have very much information. I'd love a title though! I'm a sucker for simple titles, nothing more than four words. A SUBTLE play on the strings of fate would be awesome but you don't have to. Any suggestions are VERY appreciated. A title always makes my story seem more official.

Hi all, any help on a title would be much appreciated, I'm seriously stumped. Here's my basic summary: Rai lives in the world of the Afterlife. After dying a terrible death, she’s destined to run errands for God as a dark angel, an angel born into heaven with black wings, an unfortunate reminder of their horrible demise. Dark angels seize the souls of those dying in sinister ways and bring them to heaven, while the regular angels care for the less demented cases. Rai and Damian are the only two dark angels in heaven who aren’t completely put out of commission by their self-loathing, and since Damian is tending to affairs with Satan, Rai is sent to earth to claim the soul of a boy dying of a horrible and completely new disease. When she can’t do it, she’s forced to face her feelings, which she hadn’t felt in any way for the past 200 years, especially feelings like this. And when Satan orders a demon hoard on the palace of Heaven, God sends Rai to earth to retrieve his sacred talismans that store his uncontainable power. As Rai struggles with her feelings and the strange reappearances of the sickly boy, she must also fight the clock to help God regain his power, or face being the cause of Heaven’s demise, and ultimately the earth’s as well.

I've just gotta say it: Thin Red Line. No, but seriously. I like the idea of thread as a theme. It's so easily snipped, but when stitched properly, can be unbelievably strong. I embroider, so I can think of a few ways you could work the properties of thread into a title (assuming you're going to use it as a theme). Thread can... Break Tangle Knot Stitch Unravel Bind Seam Mend Wind / unwind None of these are necessarily titles on their own, but maybe the imagery or at least that line of thinking can help...?!

Hmm... How about: Peculiar Paragons (or The Peculiar Paragon) Manic Cycles (since it sounds a bit like a cycle where those who die gruesomely get stuck reclaiming those who die gruesomely, but they can't take it anymore so you wind up with more who die gruesomely... or something like that) Words you could play around with: Caliginous Aphotic Crest Down I'm not really the best at this, but part of that may have sparked some ideas.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

deleet — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 05:04:02 +0000

I don't have much prepared for my story yet, but this is the gist of it: An archetypal [modern-day] Evil Overlord character tries to take over the world, only to discover that it already has been taken over by an Ancient Conspiracy (the Illuminati). Shenanigans ensue. The novel will probably will end up playing around with elements of Genre Savvy-ness and touching up on themes of herd mentality and mass naivete. Sorry if it's not much to work with. >.>

What about these: Illumination They All Fall Down The Penultimate Perhaps Someone come up with a title for mine, maybe? My novel revolves around seven people in Sacramento, CA who participate in a medical study. These seven people are put under and thrust into a "mental maze" that attacks them with variations of their worst fear(s). Shells, or the remnants of the people who were placed in the maze before them, help them and hinder them along the way as they try to make it to the center of the maze. Hope lies at the center. They must solve a puzzle to get out safely. If they are unable to solve the puzzle after seven tries, the maze collapses in on itself, and they all become shells for the next group to run through the maze. As they try to make it to the center, the maze is already dying (this is an error on the study's part). "Miniature black holes" edged with static eat away at the maze slowly as they try to make it to the center. The purpose of the medical study? To get a visualization of how stress and fear attack the brain and how the brain reacts to them. The catch? Everything that happens to them in the maze is real.

The world is a dangerous place. Overpopulation and famine on a global scale have lead to widespread crime and corruption. To get away from the grim reality of their surroundings, many have invested in alternate realities. The most popular of these is Elysium. But trouble has spread even there.

Still working out the kinks, but this is about it: Hundreds of years ago, all men died in the Last World War, leaving the other half of humanity underground to escape from the bombings and the radiation. Now women have created as much as an utopia as they could with their limited technology. The underground world is one of peaceful farms, colorful markets, and a devotion to The Cult of The Above. This sisterhood has controlled society since the War and Hiding, choosing suitable candidates for "motherhood" and indoctrination by branding a specific tattoo on the body at puberty. One of those marked for sisterhood (motherhood and indoctrination), Kara, is taken to see the "God" of The Cult of The Above. Drugged and bound, Kara is terrified by this "God" but lucky is saved by Nazaire and Constantin who reveal that the men from ancient times did not die, but in fact created their own single-sex society that purposely kept the women in the low-tech underground cities, believing that men where "Gods", to control them. The male couple has been snatching women from the Sisterhood for years and protecting them, hoping to eventually bring the genders together, but the scientist from Above have finally found a solution that would render women obsolete and plan to eradicate the "excess" Below. Kara demands to be allowed to fight for her family in this new, strange world, but she must also try to understand it, especially since Nazaire and Constantin were forced to kidnap the "God" who attacked her, a young man named Zayd who understands her world as much as she does his. I'm unsure of what to call it...

The Cult of the Above The Sisterhood or just Sisterhood Trapped Underground or Trapped Underground These are just a bunch of lame ideas.... lol Emerald Lundgren was born into a rich family in Salem, Massachusetts in the early 1930s, right at the start of the Great Depression. But the economic crash had a positive effect on her family’s monetary status. This was because they weren’t muggles. They didn’t need to invest in stocks or put their money into muggle banks. If anything they profited from it, not having to waste time keeping them away from their homes and protecting their secrecy. Life was good. But when Emerald was about five-years-old, one of the greatest wizarding scandals began. Prophecy foretold that a young witch would rise up and conquer evil. Soon afterwards war engulfed the world in a death and darkness shrouded in mystery. Another prophecy was foretold that another gifted young girl would play the opposite role and aid the dark in its conquest of the world. Will Emerald choose the righteous path and save the world or will she dapple in the practices of dark magic?

Feel free to ignore them: - False Nirvana? - Lost Reality? - AR (Alternative Reality) Squad? Here's mine: Colton Ross has been working at the local coffee shop/book store for as long as he could remember, the owner being the closest thing to a father to him. After a seemingly harmless break in, the owner is shot, Colton kills the intruder in self-defense, and the shop is left to Colton. As he comes to terms with his actions and his loss, Colton, with his near obsession for all things literature, becomes the to-go-to for FBI agent Damon Miles when the city is struck by a killer that chooses his victims and their deaths via scenarios and scenes from books. As the two unlikely partners try to find the killer, Colton begins to experience lapses in his memory as the killer seems to be getting closer and closer to Colton. Could the killer be targeting Colton for his involvement in the case and if so, will Agent Miles be able to save him before it's too late?

So here's my synopsis. It's a re-imagining of Red Riding Hood. Let me know what you think! The Thadrian Guard, those who once swore to protect the Thadrian Forest, have become corrupt, using their position of power to hold dominion over the people of the forest. Seventeen-year-old Lorena has committed a crime. After being assaulted by seven members of the guard, she exacted her revenge by attempting to murder them, though the seventh man survived the attack. Now he leads the hunt for her and she flees the relative safety of her village to seek safe haven in her grandmother's cottage that lies just outside the bounds of the forest. The guard, however, has a secret weapon in their employ. A wolf, held captive from birth and trained to be deadly. He is tasked with scouting ahead of the guard and capturing Lorena. When Lorena and the wolf collide, tempers flare and sparks fly. She injures him and holds him hostage, forcing him to travel with her rather than kill him. But wolf or no wolf, Lorena will stop at nothing to escape her fate. Even if it means never returning home.

Here's 2 plot summaries, since I haven't figured out which one I want to use yet. Thom has just died and woken up in the middle of nowhere. He's sitting at a bus stop, possibly with other people. The person/people begin to notice that he's different. Turns out when you die, your entire life doesn't flash before your eyes, only the moment in your life when you were the absolute happiest. Though it sounds a bit too Stargirl. In a world with superheroes and the like, a plucky young reporter is doing research for a story when some unsettling facts regarding the superheroes come to life. But for defenders of truth and good, most of these 'heroes' seem like they'd much prefer those facts remain buried - by any means necessary. Along with title suggestions, could you mention which plot line you prefer?

"Fallen" is the name of Evanescence's first album. Ben Moody later broke off to create his own band called "We are the Fallen". There is also a book by Lauren Kate called "Fallen". I hear it's about vampires. Just saying, it's a bit too broad in the sense that it's been used quite a lot. Still, nothing keeps you from using it. It's obviously worked quite a few times!

My novel is about this girl named Brynne who lives in NYC but spends her summers in Utah (because Utah is bitchin') and one summer she meets this guy Wyatt (who lives in Seattle) at a concert (I'm thinking Vampire Weekend but I'm not sure at the moment) and it's abotu their struggles and new found love throughout the summer. It's going to deal with a lot of heavy issues like parental abuse, cancer, self mutilation, colllege, the future, and a lot of other depressing stuff. But it's also going to deal a lot with the pressures and thrills of teen romance. I guess the main question of the novel is will the two stay together after the summer? Will Brynne go to art school like she wants? Will they change their future plans to be together after high school? Music is going to play a huge part of the novel and both of their interests will be sort of indie/alternative/rock so yeah..... title help please!!!

(Copy-pasting the synopsis from where I posted it in another thread haha) October Greyson is an easygoing, impulsive, inexperienced detective who has idealistic visions of justice. He's assigned to work with Violetta, a serious, professional, down-to-earth lady with little patience for morons. Immediately, the two clash- Their differences in personality, methods, philosophy, and lifestyle make it nigh-impossible for the two detectives to work together, despite the situation, which is this: The city is dying. Cashou City has a large population of supernatural beings- Angels, demons, ghosts, monsters, gods, the odd chimera. These beings live relatively peacefully with the humans of the city, but as would be expected, problems are unavoidable. Recently, the problems have been getting worse. People are dying, disappearing, or behaving very strangely, and the evidence seems to point to a single demon. At least, it would point that way if October and Violetta were able to overcome their differences and work together. Basically, it's a supernatural mystery novel. I have a vague idea of an overall plot, though I still need plot elements that drive it along (i.e., cases, crimes, etc.).

I was contemplating whether to change my title or not, my working title is "The Demon who walks in Light's Shadow" and that title is a bit of a mouthful and I am beginning to think it doesn't suit the synopsis. Maybe someone can give me a suggestion: Adrian is a Healer (equivalent to a plague doctor in my novel's world only more knowledgeable in their profession and also skilled in warding off dark forces for example an exorcism) As a Healer he goes by the alias Dr. Solanum. He is not what he appears to be, behind the mask he wears is his identity as a demon, a demon with a good heart but has to hide who he is in a world that fears demons like the monsters they are. Only a few he trusts know of his secret. But now the very city that he holds dear is infected with an epidemic with a mind of it's own called the Atra Fumus "The Black Smoke" that deems the victim to in a zombie like trance with the appearance of death in their bodies. Seeing that the disease is spreading slowly but sinisterly infecting the citizens of Stoneward. Adrian suspected it is dark magic behind this and races against time to find the source of this magic and the cure before this epidemic infects more than just his city. To do this he has to take up his demon form to search the darkest part of the city for the answer. In his race against the clock he will not only find the cure that will stop the disease but the answer to his origins. Will he make it before it is too late?

This sounds a bit like what I'm trying to do with my story in a couple of ways (the trip cross-country while the family story becomes more clear) It depends on a lot of the stuff that goes on in the meantime or maybe the way the character behaves - any little details could make for a clever title. It also reminds me a bit of "The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown" - yeah, the only things I come up with are titles that already exist, like "On the Road".

I have a working title, but it hardly has anything to do with the novel. Does this spark any interesting title ideas? Gregory Muffle has seen it all. And yet he has seen so little. Living in the small town of Little Botthum has turned his life into drudgery incarnate. After twenty years, a family like the Muffles sure gets to a man. Gregory jumps at the chance to make an escape onto a different scene, and steps onto the first train into the great unknown. A new life awaits, a life in the big city, a life full of new opportunities for the taking. That is, if the train ever arrives at its destination in one piece... And then slowly a strange puzzle starts unravelling in front of his eyes, as he meets his fellow passengers; a businessman, an aristocratic Lady and her daughter, the conductor and a rummy stowaway. What is it that connects these people and which part do they play in the riddle? And how long until the next stop?

Help! I need a title. My story is a about, like, an incorporation of Grim Reapers. There's black reapers and white reapers (not in THAT way) and they deal with different types of death. The whole inc is run by The Grim Reaper, who only a few have ever seen. The main character is a black reaper named Macie, who likes her job, and doesn't like how anti-death most humans are. Then one day a higher reaper than her asks her to do something important. Apparently there's a guy whose time has come, yet for some reason, he can't be reaped. So she has to find out why, and to do that, she has to pose as a human at a school, with parents who think she's a foster kid and everything. and later in the book, she discovers..... dun dudda DUNNN! The Gray Reapers! They make people immortal, which is why that guy can't be reaped, except he didn't know he was reaped, and there's a gray reaper trying to recruit Macie, and they're evil. Evil, evil evil. This will probably turn into a trilogy, or something, so I might not need a grand title, just a mini one to match this particular book.

Ned and Cain are best friends and companions in everything they do since college: blind dates, sports parties, bar nights, Cain's marriage, killing vampires. Oh yeah. Vampires exist, and they're all too real a threat to the innocent friends and neighbors in Ned and Cain's lives. Against all odds they manage to kill a few, and soon what started as a desperate and mostly luck-driven activity becomes a full-time enterprise for both. Cain gets married, and they both live happy, danger-fraught lives. So what happens when they slip up, and one of them faces a choice of either dying or becoming a creature of the dark? When one has to decide if he can kill a vampire and save a friend, or spare a friend and unleash a vampire? When life as they know it is turned upside down, and it's too late to swallow the antidote?

Thanks for the suggestions. I neglected to mention that the "talented violin student" is actually focused more on excelling in academics, despite her musical background. Therefore, I am looking for a title less specific to music, but I was thinking of something like "The Greatest Burden" or something...the idea that each of them, having great potentials, have great burdens. Also, most of the conflicts in the book center on this idea that their dreams also carry weights on them too - their relationship, the pressures from their families, choices they have to make, etc.

I'm awful at titles but I'll give it a try. :P - Destination Unknown? - Escape to the Tracks? That's all I've got. Sorry! But here's mine: Colton Ross has been working at the local coffee shop/book store for as long as he could remember, the owner being the closest thing to a father to him. After a seemingly harmless break in, the owner is shot, Colton kills the intruder in self-defense, and the shop is left to Colton. As he comes to terms with his actions and his loss, Colton, with his near obsession for all things literature, becomes the to-go-to for FBI agent Damon Miles when the city is struck by a killer that chooses his victims and their deaths via scenarios and scenes from books. As the two unlikely partners try to find the killer, Colton begins to experience lapses in his memory as the killer seems to be getting closer and closer to Colton. Could the killer be targeting Colton for his involvement in the case and if so, will Agent Miles be able to save him before it's too late?

@daringdingo - I can't think of a title at the moment, but perhaps you could create a title reflecting cross country, and the flashbacks that "cross" his mind as the character is traveling? Here is a synopsis for my novel, which is for the YA (young adult) age group: First, it was California. Arizona, Texas, and Arkansas followed soon afterward. In an unrecognizable United States of America, the dead have begun to rise from the ground, seeking to terrorize those who stand in their way. The government has proposed that they create some sort of army to fend off the dead, but America's citizens are unsure. What if the dead strike back, or are smarter than the government thinks they are? What if there are thousands lurking beneath the soil? They could easily out number the people, which would leave wandering in a living nightmare. Out of the fifty states, Colorado is one of the few that has been left untouched. It's also one of the few that contains a sanctuary, one built by a religious group that wants nothing to do with the dead, or "Satan's spawn." Instead, they spend mornings worshipping their god, and evenings giving heated lectures about what would happen if they interfered with the dead. The Priests have made it very clear that if one is spotted on the grounds of the sanctuary, it is to be reported, and eliminated. If not reported, the person who refused would be put to death. Sixteen-year-old Phoebe, a daughter of a Priest, is left with a difficult decision to make when she finds one of the dead buried in the snow. But unlike all the others that she has heard about, this one seems gentle, and confused about his predicament. She will be forced to decide whether to turn him in, or keep him to herself.

Or at least sparked some sort of idea. (:

I need help with a title. Dixon inheritis a bed and breakfast from her grandmother. But since she's not 18, Dixon can't manage the business. Her narcissistic mother takes over. Dixon has to deal with mom, making sure the B&B doesn't fail, and finding out that the B&B is haunted. Along the way Dixon comes across some letters grandma wrote to her about grandma's history and the history of the B&B. Turns out grandma is now the ghostly house mother and is in charge of providing hospitality to the dead guests who use the B&B as a halfway house to eternal life. While Dixon's job is to man the living guests. Along the way she and grandma ghost meet up and wind up coordinating their efforts. Grandma used to be in Dixon's place with her mother as the ghostly house mother. The reason the B&B went to dixon is because grandma is Dixon's father's mom and the B&B has to pass to a female in the bloodline. There won't be one huge conflict, I plan on presenting little conflicts here and there with the main goal to get Dixon prepped on all things ghosty so that when she turns 18 she can take the power out of her mother's hands. I was thinking about naming the novel after the name of the B&B but I don't have THAT figured out either.

First of all, acrimony, the synopsis sounds fantastic! Definitely original, and something I would be interested in reading. As for titles, what about "Halfway?" I can't think of any others, but if I do, I'll be sure to let you know.

That sounds great! It definitely sounds like something I'd read. :) I like @AutumnGreen's idea for a title. Maybe "Halfway Point" would work for your novel. The idea of naming the novel after the B&B is a good idea, too. Here are some possible names I came up with: Majesty Hill Lodge Harbor Hill Cedar Bend

Autumn - LOL I was thinking of Halfway to Eternity but wasn't sure if that was some hollywood/big book name already. I just wasn't sure if that was "cool" enough. And thanks for the compliments. I have to admit that the idea wasnt' entirely original. I pieced together about 3 plots from the Adopt a Plot forum. Oh, I forgot...the story will be told from each of their points of view until they all merge into one. Grandma's will be like we are reading her will/diary/letters to Dixon.

Seventeen-year-old Carmen goes to the South American jungle with her uncle Cole, though he won’t tell her why they’re going. Strange things happen. He leads her deep into the trees like he knows exactly where he’s going. They’re attacked by a primitive tribe of werewolves who live in the jungle with no contact with human society. They’re taken back to the werewolf village and kept prisoner there. It turns out that Cole and his brother, who was Carmen’s father (he died), were werewolves. They had dealings with human women and for a punishment, had their wolves suppressed by the pack Alpha. Carmen has were genes as well, but they have to be unlocked before she can access her wolf. The Alpha decides that Carmen is going to be the mate of his oldest son Dominic. Carmen doesn’t like Dominic, because he’s kind of creepy. Dominic’s brother Cameron becomes close to Carmen, because she reminds him of another girl he used to know, who died. Lots of other things happen, including encounters with a rogue werewolf tribe and even some savage vampires. Carmen has to try to get out of becoming Dominic’s mate and being bitten to unlock her wolf, both of which she doesn’t want. Also, she has to try to escape. Any title suggestions would be great, since I have no idea what to call this. I was thinking maybe ‘Tribe’, but I’m not sure it that works.

My synopsis: Ten years ago, Mordecai Justice was being lectured by his father and therefore late to his first Criminal Justice class at Liberty City High School. Ten years ago, Christophe Wright broke his fingers and was therefore late to his Criminal Justice class at Liberty City High School. Humiliated by their teacher, the boys take comfort in each other and quickly become best friends. Mordecai, obsessed with finding his purpose, introduces Christophe to the Hebrew idea of tikkun olam- "putting the world in order" and convinces his friend that they'll change the world together. Now a defence attorney with rumours of becoming a partner of the firm on the horizon, Mordecai believes that his opportunity to realise his own destiny is just within his reach. But the sudden emergence of his older, mysterious brother and old flame derail his plans and cause him to question everyone he trusts. Meanwhile, Christophe is trying to protect his new, young daughter from his abusive father and addict sister. Mordecai tries to balance his straining friendship, his unstable family, and his now sinking career afloat all while still searching for his own tikkun olam.

Sorry if my English is SUPERbad, I write my story in Dutch, because I'm from Holland. For someone to actually read all this, pfeew. I would send you ten dozen roses if you do it! If - how unlikely - someone would read this and has some great suggestions for a title (I know you do!) please respond!! My story is about four young adults, who's lives tangle together when the battle of the Last Free States starts. Ama'mai is a girl, raised in a human family. When she turns fourteen she finds out she isn't human, she is a wizard. Specifically, the One wizard on who her worlds faith now relies... Emotionally damaged by the lies she has been living and the separation of her teenage love - soul mates, ah- she isn't able to feel any emotions at all. Can she be the hero the world so badly needs? Saffira is the heir of a kingdom taken over by evil. On the edge of the battle, Saffira decided to run away, abandoning her father (the King) en her people. Haunted by the guilt she seeks a way to ease her pains. She decides to travel to the most important school of the Western Continent: the School for the Military Arts. Here she joins the Rebellion Army, but will her feminine side survive the battlegrounds, and will she ever acknowledge her true destiny? Daran is also a prince, but unlike princess Saffira, he hates his father and the empire he created. In his eyes his father is the devil in flesh. But in the eyes of the outside world, he is as evil as his father. Can he overcome these prejudgements and prove the world –and above all, himself – he isn’t evil? Haefan is just a farmers boy, but when his one truly love is kidnapped by the Emperors army, he is destined to get his revenge. He joins the School of Military Arts to make it to the Defence Army. But suddenly the girl he long assumed death turns up in his dreams, grown, whispering him to let her rest. Now, more than ever, Haefan is destined to reveal the secrets the truth is holding behind. And than faith ties these stories together.

However, being the eccentric overlord he was, he determined that he would find a successor through the world's biggest game of Risk. With the largest Risk board feasible in their hands, Mister Cowlstock, Mister Rainwater and Mister Vanlandingham, Mister Bainfeild's most trusted associates, duke it out to find out who will win. And more importantly, if they can pull this off without being overthrown by rebels and factions hellbent on spoiling their little game. Yeah, you can probably tell this one isn't going to take itself seriously. Don't ask why they just don't kill each other beforehand. They're gentlemen. They'd never cheat.

I'm such a horrible procrastinator. Combine that with the fact that I often have trouble with titles and I'm running into some trouble here. What a way to start your first NaNo! I'm hoping you guys can help me. Here's my Synopsis: 16 year old Olivia Brown is a typical Midwestern American teenager. She's a Junior in High School, her boyfriend is a football player, she's had the same best friend since Kindergarten, and she has a good family. But Olivia harbors a secret. One that could devastate her life, tear apart her family, and change everything. I'm a little reluctant to divulge the secret because it's the main driving force of the novel, but I will say that it's nothing good. It's actually pretty devastating to her and the novel is about her trying to deal with this problem, while trying to find a way to overcome and get away from it, and trying to find a way to tell someone else without all the horrible fallout she expects.

This is set in a Dungeons & Dragons world, fyi. Fraternal twin brothers, Eon and Elric, are unknowingly the gate and key to the Apocalypse. As children they were separated - Eon carted off by a mysterious stranger to learn the dark worship of the arch-devil Asmodeus, Elric training under the best swordsmen in the land to become strong enough to seek out his brother. As a part of his initiation, Eon must forsake his name - but the ritual goes awry, and he is able to remember everything about his past, as well as what his name is, though he cannot speak it. He lives maddeningly among the Nameless Servants of Asmodeus, biding his time until he can escape, but he will not do so unscathed. Elric meanwhile, watches all of his classmates and teachers fall around him at the swordsmanship academy, during a massacre organized by a fanatical group of "fate-preservers." Now adults, Eon seizes an opportunity to break free from his repressive church and go wandering through the world. He stumbles upon a belligerent, brooding Elric, and the two begin adventuring together without realizing who the other is. When they do realize who each other is, years of pent up animosity and guilt spill out, nearly preventing them from being able to work together. Along their journey, Eon finds a way to undo the ritual so he can properly identify himself, and makes serious effort to undo the years of vile things he has done to innocent people in an attempt to save his soul. Elric struggles with the gods and religion, and his own haunting past. Their journey takes them all across the continent and into the Underdark, and even into Hell itself, and slowly they begin to mend their wounds. Will Eon be able to overcome years of evil deeds to redeem his soul from Asmodeus? Will Elric accept his divine calling and become a holy avenger the likes of which the world hasn't seen since the Dawn War? Sweeping settings and landscapes, lots of minor characters, characters overcoming the odds, characters ascending to godhood... no idea what to call the thing. >.<

Blueberry Crumble Your synopsis made me think of Americana images, so of course I thought of apple pie. A crumble is a kind of pie with a crumb crust that crumbles and falls away/around the filling when it bakes, revealing the inside. And blueberries are darker in color and tend to be a little more tart than apples. So a blueberry crumble would be a tart pie. When you put it in the oven, the crust is solid and you can't see the inside, but when you pull it out, all these pockets of "dark" are showing through.

Brotherhood? Oh, I don't know ;w; Brothers...brotherhood...something. The two neighbouring kingdoms, that of Farlen and of Lyserthia, are at peace... but it's a "cold peace". If a Farlenese mentions Lystheria, people hiss and recoil and vice versa. After a war between the "navy" of flying ships from floating island to island, in which many people died, both kingdoms reluctantly agreed this was pointless and ordered their troops back. Farlen suffered greatly, whilst Lystheria thrived over loot and the support of other countries. Growing jealous and weak, yet too prideful to beg for help, the Farlenese began to use underhand methods to try and undermine Lystheria's kingdom to steal back their lands and wealth. Because of this, Farlen's government asked for "sailors" to board the airships and go on missions set by them, yet everyone refused; it was no secret that many, many people had perished grisly deaths by the latest technology's weapons or falling off the airships. Cunning and desperate, Farlen began to do something that any government that cares enough about it speople wouldn't do - they /abducted/ them, forced them to work and offered them much money that was difficult to find in the falling Farlanese economy. AND SO, our "merry" group of abductees, now made airpirates, have been set an important mission - abduct Jai Warren, a youth that is very valuable to Lystheria. It's such a derpy summary. I'm sorry.

I just so happen to need a title, too. It's seems like a common disease throughout NaNo! Think you guys could help me out? It's a long one! Keep track of whose who by MC as main character and O as her other friend. Ok, so MC lives on a planet -she's human, don't worry!- very similar to the early 1900s; the Depression era. She's friends with O who lives at another planet far, FAR away. O lives on a planet similar to the 17th century. (keeping up? Just joking!) Their planets used to be connected with a transporter so they could visit each other, but soon that transporter shut down due to lack of funds. So they turn to the reliable source of the letter system. The problem is, it takes years for each letter to be received, and by the time they read it years would have passed. So later on in the book MC gets a letter from O. O is saying she is very ill and is trying to get to a doctor but is afraid it might be to late. So MC gathers all her money to fly over to O's planet. When she get's there she finds out that O has passed away several years ago. So the story ends with MC visiting her friend's grave. I hope that wasn't to painstakingly long to read! So... Ideas? ;)

For my first Nano, ah jeez, I'm not starting off too well.... Just thought of a (vague!) idea YESTERDAY and now I can't think of any plausible title (for me to even think about putting effort into a story, I have to name it... I am a bit OCD like that)! I would greatly appreciate any help. Here is the synopsis. In a world where children don't have fathers, and women are forced into types of labor depending on their beauty, a young sheepherder, Noel, finds a map leading to the Sword of Metas. By a twist of fate, she meets Elijah, a young man on a quest to find the sword before his twin brother and use it's magical powers for his own selfishness. Elijah lies and convinces Noel that he will help her give rights to women through the power of the sword. As they journey throughout Embriel to find the sword, they slowly fall in love. Elijah is conflicted with whether to use the sword's power to his own advantage, or to free women from their bleak existence. I was hoping the title wouldn't have "The Sword of..." in it, because I do think swords are often cliche in fantastical novels. : ) Some background information: Noel is NOT the typical damsel in distress... She isn't the pretty MC, either. She is very pale, with flame red hair, and not a pretty face. Elijah has a twin brother who is the antagonist (Matthius) How the world works.. .well, all of the 'pretty' girls are forced into prostitution and that is how the population is continued. The rest work as artisans, etc. The men lead rather lavish lives as government officials, brothel owners, etc. Again... Thank you, thank you, thank you! : )

I have no idea about a title, but a working synopsis is: The Zemlja empire is at the height of its power and at a turning point. The Emperor is old and bed ridden, his heir but a child and war is on the horizon. The Imperial Senate vies for control of the nation and seeks to impose the heir as their puppet on the throne. However this would-be puppet is more competent than he seems. He strikes out to find the leader of the resistance, a rebel force threatening to overthrow the empire. The one he seeks may be closer than he ever imagined. There is going to be a system of magic based on the zodiac.

Meta Quest ? The Female Conditions ? They're probably a bit rubbish! - Anyway onto my very vague, last-minute plot: An unusual earthquake (on present-day Earth - probably England), caused by a wayward explorer accidentally disturbs an ancient race of aliens who have been hiding from their sworn enemies, with whom they have been locked in brutal war for thousands of years. They merely wish to live in peace, having rejected the ways of their forefathers, but their unusual appearance and advanced technology convinces the human race that they are hostile. Our protagonists (a male student, his tutor, and others including the students friends and some colleagues) have to try and stop a war which could consume not only huge numbers of both species, but the entire planet. The group get involved due to their research, studying the earthquake, then being amongst the first to encounter the aliens. The aliens' enemies may also show up towards the end, but I haven't decided on that for definite yet.

I need a title! Under novel info, I wrote: "When Justine returns to Hillgrove a year after her family's mysterious upheaval, she must face the people she left behind and the evil that drove her away in the first place." But to be more specific, Justine has spent her life constantly running from the members of the corrupt council that rule her people (I'm deciding between it being a coven of witches and it being its own supernatural race), who are trying to steal her powers. When she makes the decision to stop running and to fight, she runs to the last place they saw her -- Hillgrove -- where she left behind two men that she cared very deeply about in different ways. Over the course of her fight against the council, they use her love for these two men against her time and time again and it ends in tragedy.

My (really quickly put-together) synopsis; A girl who lives her life according to songs, and can't live without them. Every decision made is based on songs, which she hears from a radio channel that does nothing but plays music around the clock every day. Will such a life be worth living, and what's the result of not considering or taking responsibility of your actions, and what will happen when she will no longer have the songs. Takes place in an alternative universe. - This seems to quite accidentally be turning into a comment about the state of humanity today. Which is not necessarily a bad thing? I'm calling this 'Melody's Road' for now, which is not what I want to hold on to. Melody might not even end up being the main characters name.

Valarie (17) helps people, because if she helps people then she's important, right? She drops everything the second her mentally ill sister texts her and lets her boyfriend hide his drugs in her bedroom. But despite her best efforts her sister is still declining and Sparrow is still angry and her parents still hate each other. Throughout the novel we see Valarie taking steps towards having her own life but her own fear of becoming invaluable and other's unwillingness to let her go gets in the way. It's not until she allows herself to be selfish that she can be truly happy.

In the future, nothing is real. Even wars have been computerized, guns and missiles a thing of the long-distant past. Countries send teams of virtual combatants into the Battleground, a simulated world where everything--except for death itself--is as realistic as can be. For Eden, being chosen for her country's 'army' is an unexpected honor. She's not strong or brave or even loyal, and it seems the only thing she can do is manage to stay alive. But that's a more valuable skill than she knows, and soon she's captaining a unit in one of the most important battles of recent history. Eden's team is well on its way to victory when an attack comes from an entirely new quarter: the real world. Before she even understands what's happening, the rules of the Battleground have changed, and suddenly she no longer knows who's on her side. Trapped in the game and assaulted by her former compatriots at every turn, she forms a tenuous alliance with one of the last surviving members of the other team. But when it comes down to it, Eden knows of only two ways to end the game: kill or be killed. The question is, is she willing to do either?

You have a really good idea going on here. Have you considered adding the "technology" element to your story? Try to follow my train of thought here. Our generation is big on "trends" no only in clothes, books, and fashion, but also on the internet. Facebook and twitter are staples of our lives. We stick a hash tag in front of something and "trend" it all over the internet. Remember #makesmethink or #fml or #KathyBethTerry? You could "trend" your MC's suicide note. Ergo, I would call your book #Trending. On a side note, I'm a girl and all my friends call me by my last name (Which is Ross) and it's very uncommon for a girl to be called that so I'm DYING to read this book! No pun intended.

There is a quote I read once that sums up the lesson your character must learn (the lesson I myself had to learn). It says "Be there for others, but never leave yourself behind."

God, the pure being that he is, fights against Lucifer's evil and struggles to this day against the sin his once-angel spreads. But what if there is more to this tale than meets the eye? It can be hard to tell the difference between good and evil, and it seems humanity may have been wrong for thousands of years.

The Lies They Told All The Tears In Heaven Speak No Evil Alternatively, depending on the direction of the story, you may try using a quote from the Bible as a reference. On of my favorites is John 15:13. I reference it in a chapter title of my book. It says "No greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." Using that quote I would call it "No Greater Love". If it were a darker direction you were going for I would call it "How Many Are My Foes" as a reference to Psalm 29 verse 18. (Consider how many are my foes and with what violence they hate me.) It's the Bible. There's TONS of reference material. Drop me a line when you decided where you're going with it.

GreekPearl — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 23:39:57 +0000

I plan on starting it out with more of a "No Greater Love" theme, but a large part of the conflict derives from Luce's development from trying to help humanity to defeating God, developing it into more of a "How Many Are My Foes" theme.

But it's undeniable--she has magic, something no human has wielded since the last wizard brought a curse upon the race over half a millennium ago. Now both the fey courts and a human witch-hunting organization fight to keep Rylie from coming into her powers, finding out where this magic came from, and most of all, keeping her from discovering the truth about where it went.

I LOVE fey stories! Tuatha De Dannan, yes? As for the title, you can go in multiple directions depending on the direction of your story. Here are my suggestions. Mirror, Mirror - a reference to her internal struggle, not understanding who she is, and not recognizing her own reflection. Mirrors are considered magical devices by many pagans. The are largely accepted as doorways to other worlds. Also, Snow White reference! The Girl In The Mirror - see above statement. A Touch of The Blood - this is a reference to an old southern term that's very popular in the region where I grew up. Anyone who was perceived to have a special "gift" was said to have "A touch of The Blood". Ergo, they had magic in their family line. (Other variations say they have "fey" blood or are connected with Native Indians, who are known for their belief in magic.) My grandmother said I had a touch of the blood because as a child I could find ANYTHING, no matter where it was or how long it had been lost. I still can as a matter of fact.

Originally I was writing a memoir about running, but I've decided to write a novel. Here's my synopsis. Two runners (runners who are currently nameless), one a very speedy woman with hopes of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, and the other, a very, very, very (many people walk faster than he runs) very slow man who's lucky to make it through a 5k, will eventually fall in love with each other. At the beginning of the story they appear completely incompatible. Really. I mean, he's a heel striker and she's spent many hours training himself to mid-foot strike by taking classes and using a metronome when she runs. They met in a running group in Columbus, Ohio (I need a fake name for that too) when she tripped over the yellow labrador with whom he was attempting to run. Working title: Love on the Trail (groan)

In this world mechanical people are common, but not common in this area of the country (too poor). However, the toy maker of the town has created his own mechanical assistant to help him make toys. The toy maker leaves the town soon after, leaving his creation alone. Mr. Main Character is fascinated by this mechanical girl, Nora, as he's only read about mechanical people in story books. Together they embark upon a journey to search for Nora's long-lost creator and learn how big the world really is.

Something with "clockwork" in it strikes me as a good title for this book. Perhaps "Clockwork Heart" or "Heart of Clockwork" to show that Nora is a real person despite her being mechanical? Or maybe "The Toymaker's Assistant". Hope this helps!

Ooh, I like the Toymaker's Assistant. Since you're not sure about which Northern European country the story takes place in, I can't research nice sounding words, but you can use the words for 'clock' or 'clockwork' (something related) in chosen country's language, as your title? Aufziehmechanismus is clockwork in German, though I have to say it's a mouthful... zum Aufziehen means 'driven by clockwork'

I'm really having trouble thinking of a title for a parallel novel for Alice's Aventure's in Wonderland told from the point of view of Florence (The Queen of Hearts), which tells how she is adopted by a disfigured woman called Adeline after her first guardian dies. Adeline basically treats her like crap and thinks it's an acceptable way to teach Florence how the current monarchy (headed by The White Queen) treats it's citizens. Adeline wishes to institute a "Monarchy of Hearts" by forcing Florence into a position of power in a very shady and corrupt government where it's basically an anything goes fight for power (where murder, betrayal and other "unscrupulous" situations are seen the norm). In short Florence has to confront herself and decide whether or not she has the courage to fight for her own freedom or die at the hands of the people who "love" her.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Or Titles for that matter..) What do you do when your parents and your best friend's parents are murdered before your eyes? Clara, and her "bff" Will, never thought they would have to find out. Together, Will and Clara are willing to testify and are unceremoniously shoved into the Witness Protection Program. They have to survive with new families, new identities and worse. New feelings. When there's a mole in the US Marshall's office and you can only trust your best friend, who do you go to for help re-disappearing when anyone could want to kill you? ... Better? :)

Along those lines, yes, although I was wary attempting to write this because of it inevitably being compared to Maguire's work, so i'm trying to look at a lot of authors who deal with parallel novels And I was thinking the same, I'm rereading both books at the moment but nothing is striking me, I do like those suggestions though.

Help, please? IDK if you guys are familiar with the "Girl in The Rabbit-Skin Coat" fairytale, but that's basically where my novel starts - the main character is trying to fend off the advances of a local king who has fallen in love with her, which she does by asking for a dress as gold as the sun, one as silver as the moon, and one as bright as the stars - and when that fails, she runs away. She loses her memory, joins a wandering circus, where she starts working as the magician's assistant, and falls in love with another member of the circus; basically, everything's lovely right up until the circus goes to perform for the very king she ran away from in the first place - and she may not recognize him, but you can bet he remembers her.

Well, since they're on the run I would incorporate something about geography into the title, since I have a feeling they'll be huffing it on foot for a while. Additionally, it helps set the scene for your reader without having to do much existential detailing. For example, if you titled your book "All The Stars In Texas" you don't really have to tell your reader the characters are in Texas. It's implied by the title. (It also helps conjure up an image in the readers head long before they open the book, which helps you grab their attention) On a side note that may help you with the "disappearing" aspect of your story: When I was a child growing up in South Carolina there was a bit blow up all over the news about a convicted murderer who escaped into the Blue Ridge Mountains and was never heard from again. (This was some time in the 1990's) It's largely believed he's still up there. Point being, mother nature and geography can sometimes help you disappear faster and with more success than people can. Maybe use that to your advantage in your story.

Here's a kinda hastily assembled summary, I hope it's enough! Grace is wealthy, intelligent, talented, and has a promising future as a member of The Guild, the nation's powerful elite organization of practical witches. They control magic completely, from how it's used to who's allowed to use it. But Grace gives it all up to become a (magical) seamstress in the small town of Frederick. She's only looking for a breath of fresh air and a little independence, but she soon learns her big move has put her behind enemy lines. The only witches here are the wild clansmen, and they've worked for generations to keep the power-hungry Guild out of their little town. With the help of an old friend and his surly roommate, Grace slowly begins to make friends and gain the trust of her new neighbors. But the on-going war between clan and guild threatens to ruin everything.

Quickly thrown together synopsis (oh how I hate these...necessary, but I hate them): The world is at war. The technologically advanced Drasvar has been attacked viciously by its enemies and responded in kind. Six months in, two of the participants, Soli Navin, a Drasvarian flyer, and Arias Falmarin, from the kingdom of Assar, find themselves at one of the largest turning points. Sworn enemies, both are loyal to their homelands, and find themselves questioning the very origins of the conflict as they attempt to save their homes. But betrayal and conspiracies abound, and the war is only getting worse. Not even sure if it's a good synopsis, but it works for now. Anyone have any ideas?

I think I would go for something with 'two' but a bit more cryptic. Maybe 'second chance'? My novel is a story of boy meets girl. Boy is from the future, he fled from his own time to the present, which is illegal because we don't have time travel yet. He's a fraud and stole money from important people. When my MC (the girl) first sees him she doesn't know him but he knows her, and then halfway in he doesn't know her (because he's an earlier version, he had to jump in time again because they were on his trace.) Basically, it's a story about love and time-travel, but I refuse to make it merely a lovestory. Both the time-police (will think of a better name) and the mafia are after the boy, so it's a bit more exciting than just love. I haven't a clue about a title yet, so I'd love some help!

laeoukka — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:10:24 +0000

My story is about what happened in Wonderland say 400 years after Alice came and turned their lives upside down. Essentially, they scrapped the government and created a new one with four ruling lords (or ladies), one for each suit of cards. They've coerced Time to put Wonderland in a bubble, essentially cutting it off from the rest of the world so no one can come and bother them again. The catch is that the energy needed to fuel the bubble (and other things) is this essence that everyone has, called Wonder, so there's this semi-illegal drug that the government is secretly distributing to get the Wonder. (Yeah, it doesn't sound as complicated in my head) Anyhow, there's another Alice (because the main character HAS to be named Alice) who becomes Time's new apprentice and finds out this stuff and ends up working with the Mad Hatter and such to take down the corrupt government etc. The current titlel I have is The Timekeeper's Pawn, but I don't really like it.

By the laws the sister would be killed and the whole family taken into evaluation whether they'll all be killed or not. The parents are about to give up the sick daughter just to have a chance in life, but the healthy sister won't have it and flees with the sister.

Recently, she's been having these very vivid dreams and the same man appears in each of them. One day she meets Anthony Harris. She is so drawn to him like two opposite charges, but there is something different about him. It's obvious he's hiding something. They keep getting thrown together as they find out there is a group of people after both of them, but not for the same reasons. In order to save Lena, Anthony must reveal his true identity. He then has to choose between telling her the truth or keeping his deepest, darkest secret from her. Will he tell her and risk losing her or will he keep his secret a secret?

REPLY TITLE: "Tangled Webs" taken from the idea of the quote "oh what tangled webs we weave when first we practice to deceive" PLOT: Echo Perry lives in a world where each eye color has a distinct magical ability and just his luck he was born with the most dangerous of all; purple. When Echo uses his eye color to extract vegence against one of the four pillars of society, he presumes his life is over and he's okay with that. But when Lord Eric Phillips, the leader of the Green Eyed people, takes the boy under his wings and spares his life in exchange for being his apprentence, Echo's life starts going down a path of war, politics, magic, and deception he never thought possible. And quickly--far quicker than Echo ever imagined--he'll realize what it means to be a man, and how every action has an equal, opposite, or sometimes stronger, reaction.

Could also need some help with my title. Here's my story: Amy Mc Farrer wakes up in a forest and can't remember anything from her past life. As she tries to find a way out she gets bitten by a snake but its poison doesn't harm her. Later she meets some people from a medieval looking village who tell her that she's the first one who survived that poison. They bring her into a castle to their leaders who drug Amy and bring her back into the forest. When she wakes up, all her memory is deleted again and the story repeats itself. The people from the village can't remember her either as they also got a certain drug from the leaders. However Amy sometimes has Déjà vus and at one point of the story she discovers a secret passage that leads to an ultra-modern laboratory. There she finds notes about herself and about former 'patients' as someone has created a super virus and wants to use her blood to make an antidote and make money with it. (the snake's poison contained this virus - as Amy survived it she is immun against it) Amy manages to break out but in the outside world nobody believes her. I'm not quite sure about the ending, maybe she comes into a psychiatric ward and it finally turns out that all that happened only in her imaginagion or it will be a simple happy ending with the bad ones getting imprisoned and the good ones winning.

I too need some help please :) Below is an excerpt, and a very short summary taken from my novel info page. Why so short? Because I'm going to wing it. I'm still not sure if it'll be a darker sort of novel, or more of a humoristical piece. "By all rights, I should have been beautiful. I was a princess after all; beauty came with the job description. Yet there was certain smallness about my features I was unable to overcome. My nose was miniscule; you could pass it off as nonexistent. My mouth – negligible, not even worth mentioning. You couldn’t even tell my eyes were blue. I was appalling, and they knew it, shunning, spitting, and shying away. Of course, that all was of little consequence to me. No matter what I did, there was no way I could save face." Meet Esmeralda, a princess cursed by a travelling magician to remain faceless until she finds love, or satisfies his deadly requests. Teamed with Alec, a young mysophobic noble who spent the larger portion of his life locked in a tower, and George, a girl who should have been born a boy, on the way to break her curse Mera finds much more than she bargained for.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

acekanigirl — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:09:31 +0000

@Storytellers Shadow Just from reading your excerpt, I like the idea of Saving Face. It plays into both the idea that she's trying to save her face, and the idea that all of these characters seem to be nobility that there parents hide away. (Mera has her face, Alex has the tower, and George, if she is noble, is an embarassment because she's a girl). Mine already has a working title, but if someone comes up with an idea they like better, or just has a comment on the summary, I'd be very happy.

Yup, that was the title I came up with originally as well. It works well with the story, the only problem is that with its modern sound, it doesn't quite accentuate the fantasy theme. Actually, I find your summary very interesting! My only problem being that "nothing is real" makes it sound as if she's trying to convince people of the Matrix. I'm also a little confused as to how 'her own doubt' plays into it. More specifically, what is it that she doubts? As for the novel title, Doubt works if that is the main theme. I can come up with a few others if you'd like. 'Beyond a Doubt', 'Hypothetically', 'Skepticism and the Unrealiable Ghost', 'Eye for an Eye'

Could I have some help with mine? Detective Aaron Klys's first impression on Elario Longoria, a new detective in his agency from Italy, is a lazy Casanova who won't take his work seriously, but soon he finds that Elario's better than expected. Almost too better. He notices odd things about Elario's behavior and soon discovers that Elario's not exactly human. The man is over seven thousand years old, being reborn into a new life with his memory of the previous ones in tact. Not only that, but in order to do that, he's had to give up his soul to do that, making him become a demon. Aaron, however, accepts his partner for what he is, along with Reba Rivers, their partner from England who knew Elario in his last life. Things seem to be fine for a while, until they discover that Vennis, an evil spirit that wants to destroy the world, is attached to Elario, keeping him from harming anyone besides him as long as Elario's alive. To top it all off, Elario is in a constant battle between his demon self, which soul purpose is to kill.

I'm scrapping my other plot. Here's my new one: Edward McGregor was born in London, England to a muggle and a squib 200 years after the Second Wizard War. Despite his mother's pure-blood lineage, no one expected him to become a wizard. He went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor. But in his fifth year, the Death Eaters rose to power and took over the school under the leadership of Victoire Beaumont. The year ended peacefully for now and summer came, spoiled by the events of the past year. But fearing for his safety, his parents forced the family to move to America where his father received a job transfer. In their new home, his step-mother refused to allow him or his little sister to use magic at all and made them attend a public high school. But Eddy couldn’t allow her to take it away completely so he kept his wand with him wherever he went, waiting for the chance to use it. Though he was away from his friends in the UK, he made new ones and lived peacefully and happily, undisturbed by the prospect of adventure. But soon his happy days would be over and tragedy would strike.

Just so you know, Ashley is a boy, not a girl. After being kidnaped by a werewolf turned slave trader named Jonathan, Eloise Roman discovers a startling secret, not only is magic real but some humans are resistant to magic. Eloise is among their numbers. To keep her from running away and joining the witch hunters, one of the Warlock Masters agrees to give her one thing she’s always wanted, a stable home. But life pretending to be the daughter/apprentice of a high-class warlock is not easy. She has no magic of her own and the magical society she has been forced into is on the verge of a civil war. Ashley, a young warlock in her French class, knows fully well that Eloise isn’t who the Master claims she is. Reid, a human with the ability to talk to his dead witch-hunter mother, wants Eloise to join his cause and destroy the warlocks from the inside. And, of course, there’s Jonathan, who continues to find Eloise way more appealing than she finds him.

@ pineappble: I'm terrible at thinking of titles, the only one I could think of is 'Resistance' Mine is a YA novel, and I'm really struggling with the title: Leonard McAndrews is an art teacher at St Augustine's boarding school in the Scottish Highlands. After years of sticking to the curriculum and teaching students to draw fruit with charcoal, Mr McAndrews finally snaps and decides to show class 10E what art is really about. Over the term, he teaches the students to think outside of the box, that anything can be art, that art is about experience. In one final homework assignment, class 10E are set the task of finding their own artistic experience, but Leonard McAndrews could never have imagined the devastating consequences his teaching could have... The story is told from the perspective of a different student in each chapter. Some of the chapters will be funny, heartwarming things that the students do, and others (one in particular) will be more dark.

@katiereynolds: "The Bonding Art", or some combination of the two key words. I have a tentative title in place, but an outsider's opinion can't hurt. Mine is a murder mystery about a serial killer, with the twist being that the killer's pattern quickly becoming erratic. The list of possible suspects is whittled down to the three key investigators in the case--the grizzled "sheriff" type (I'll work out specific terms later--it is set in the not-too-distant future) who might not want to hand in his badge anytime soon, the responsible "deputy" who has had his eye on the sheriff's spot for years, and the irrational-but-brilliant upstart whose plans on replacing the sheriff will come sooner rather than later if the pencil pushers on top have their say. So...what do you think I should name it?

Now a few years later Alex lives an unenviable, but all too common lifestyle: he has the displeasure of working at a dead-end job at a department store, his girlfriend is practically a praying mantis and his entire life is becoming a series of routines. All that changes when a stranger waltzes into his life, changing his world forever. --- It's a story about romantic (between Alex and the stranger he meets) and obsessive love (that Alex's girlfriend feels for him), friendship and living life in a way that makes you happy. Alex is very depressed and feels he's living inside a box, meeting this person changes his life and is a bit like a breath of fresh air.

A group of them do this thingy that sends them into a different dimension, and they choose when to come back into the world. (That's the prologue) The actual novel begins with FMC being a normal teenager, then having her world turned completely upside-down by finding out her destiny. She has to repopulate her entire species. (With the help of the others, of course.) The whole novel is her tracking them down, then when she finally finds them, they begin to do what they're supposed to. So yeah. Novel needs a title.

Perhaps some sort of play on the word gene? Or a pun of some sort? I feel like a wordplay (a non-cheesy one, anyway) could suit the story quite well. I'm not good with names, so I'm afriad that's about the most help I can give you, Laebeth. My story follows a completely normal science geek after he gets expelled from school and sent to live with his estranged mother. Who turns out to be an alchemist, although a seriously ill and bed-bound one. His older half-brother, Jarrett, is acting head of the family, and a necromancer whom everybody thinks is either trying to take over the world, experimenting on humans, secretly Dracula, or doing something or other that they can gossip about. They also have a mirror-demon guarding the house, mutants as pets, a doppleganger of a very deranged ancestor in the basement (he's been there a while) and Jarrett's Dad, who actually did try to take over the world a few years ago, is back from the dead and wants to do a little father-son bonding. Over the rotting corpses of his enemies. Oh, right, and being the magickal media's hot topic doesn't help much, either.

I hope I've helped with some ideas. Here's my synopsis: When Alex finds a time-traveling lemon in his grandfather's attic, he and his two best friends, Niko and Lyn, are thrust into an action packed, time-traveling adventure that's has many twists and turns as time itself.

Here's what I have, more or less: Ether Quintox, orphaned nephew of the merchant Ignus Quintox (of Inkblot, Peacock and Quintox Silks), has never had anything remarkable happen to him. Even his apprenticeship to his uncle's stockkeeper is fairly average; whenever business calls him to otherwise exciting locations, he finds he sees nothing save the inside of warehouses, preapproved inns, and carriages. But when he finds a strange iron lockbox and a letter asking for his help delivering said box among his cousins' gifts to him for his sixteenth birthday, he finds himself thrust into the obscure world of a secret mage's society (which may or may not hold the key to uncovering the truth about his parents' "tragic accident") and their even more mysterious rivals, a group of government fanatics who will do anything to defend the king, regardless of whether or not he wants their help. Ether must choose between the two, and his life will never be the same. It's actually slightly more lighthearted than it sounds--the narrator is fairly sarcastic already at points.

Here's mine. I've been kicking this idea around in my head since February but, surprise, surprise, I still haven't gotten the story summary down quite right: Waking up in an empty city with only a name printed on her palm, a child searches for her memories. Along the way, she meets the 'Centrals', four other children like herself, who've set up base in Center City Square. They live in fear of the dreaded "Curfew": anyone out at night after the Central Clocktower's eighth ring mysteriously vanishes. But a greater threat seems to be rising out of the East District: another group, lead by a girl only known as 'Diedre', is on the war path, carving out bigger and bigger sections of the city as their territory, and threatens to push the Centrals out of Center City Square and on to the brink of extinction. This novel is a vaguely realistic, vaguely apocolyptic, and a very vague allegory for my childhood set in a, to use a Trope name, "crapsack" world (city, really) featuring, for the most part, characters from the ages of 9 - approx. 14.

The title of this definitely has to play on the lemon, no question. "The Lemon-aid Chronicles." (pretending as if I knew the story, I'm imagining them helping others). "A Lemon Twist" If the friends name their little cohort anything, the book could share that name (The Citrus Brigade, The Lemon Crusaders, etc).

"Triple Jeopardy: A Tale of Three Mismatched Monsters". I don't know if it's a title you'd like, but that's the only thing that stuck when I read the synopsis.

Not sure if this is quite done but, to clarify, yamichip, Diedre is, to use another Trope (and more lovely punctuation), "The Big Bad". Essentially the overarching antagonist that's always hanging over the Centrals' heads.

I need a little help coming up with a title for my story aswell. The main plot is that an outlawed alien from a distant planet comes to Earth and uses a college student by the name of Alice as his caretaker, given he has no one else to go to that he knows and he sneaked into Alice's school bag when she was coming back from a class field trip. More info is on my profile.

But I like 'Beyond a Doubt' and Hypothetically a lot! For yours maybe 'The Face of Hope', 'The Face of (insert kingdom's name here)', or 'Love has no Eyes' (this one comes from the Love is Blind idea).

I really really really need a title! Anything goes as long as it... sounds good, I guess. If you want more plot info I'm happy to give it. Several hundred years into the future, a ten year old reporter named Ink lives in a run down writer's building in France. Desperate for more money and a little fame, she decides upon the perfect story. The problem is, she has no one to interview. So she kidnaps a seventeen year old boy named Nor.

Need a title. My story is about an old building that's gone through many incarnations from mansion to speakeasy/bawdy house and theatre. It was boarded up mysteriously after the owner in the 20's-40's disappeared. In the present (2011), a young theatre troupe (in their 20s and 30s) has purchased the place to restore it to its former glory and to mount their plays. Weird things start happening as they uncover the dark history of the place. The Theatre is called The Wharton Theatre, after the old owner who went by the stage name Astrid Wharton.

I need a title as well. London, 1895. Seventeen-year-old Agatha Marwick has always been a bit of an enigma. Stubborn and fiercely independent, she finds it sickening that girls her age are expected to think of nothing more than making a suitable marriage. Unlike her peers, who seem obsessed with the next ball or the latest fashions, Aggie dreams of far off lands and heart-stopping adventures, filling her journals with all kinds of fantastical narratives. When she submits her pieces to the London Times under the pseudonym Howard James, her work is met with high praise, leading her to dream of making a living as a writer, a notion unheard of for a woman in Victorian London. Aggie becomes closely involved with the newspaper when her best friend, Arthur Whitmore, is hired as a reporter. All seems well at the Times, until the editor-in-chief is mysteriously murdered. There is no sign of a culprit, and Aggie and Arthur make it their personal mission to find out exactly who is responsible for this shocking crime. As the investigation ensues, Aggie realizes that the endeavor is about far more than finding a killer on the run; it parallels her own journey of self-discovery and actualization.

Titles please I will love you all! ;; Through a mixture of a loss of innocence and a greed for once again being her family's spoiled child, 19 year old Lacey Demarle suddenly finds herself kidnapped by the mysterious Time Guardian, Milofelys. Now wiped from existence from the point of her disappearance onwards, Lacey Demarle becomes a young woman known as Illusra and is given immortality... but at the price of remaining trapped in the pitch-dark of the Plane of Immortals. Tortured with false memories of a life she can now hardly remember, Illusra finds herself lost and floundering for something solid to hold onto in her new life--until a second victim of Milofelys and his tortures stumbles upon her in her dreams. Together, they come to a mutual agreement to help free each other from their captor, but deep down they are both fully aware that sacrifices will have to be made in order for both of them to get what they want.

All title ideas welcome! Hundreds of years ago, one man discovered the key to eternal life. Now, the time has come for him to name another recipient. Nine killers from around the world are brought to his remote island to engage in a no-holds-barred fight to the death. The last man (or woman) standing will receive the ultimate prize: immortality. Note: The tone of this novel is VERY over-the-top action, so cheesy and punny titles are not only welcome, they are encouraged.

Ok...PLEASE help! The Milton family is in terrible debt from college loans. The only way they can get out of paying them back without everyone having to work full-time into their eighties is that if the father, Walter, as the major breadwinner, meets a premature death, the loans are expunged. So, they do the only sane thing to do: they fake Walter's death. And then they deal with keeping it a secret. It's a comedy...

Lea wants one thing in life, just like any over pilot: to fly. It's like nothing else, being one with the ship and soaring through the stars. Well-- she wants to fly, and avoid the burnout. Lea knows she'll make it-- she won't be one of the majority, dying young or turning in a stimulant-addicted husk. Lea wants to be one of those special few that mingle with the wealthy on Earth. As soon as she gets enough contracts to pay off her training, she'll be set. It's just-- she keeps getting dumped groundside. Weeks off a ship that are teaching her just why stimulants are so popular (oh, it's almost like flying--). And when she finally does get back in the sky, her new employers seem to be hiding something. Not to mention the secretive organization that's been tying to recruit her, hinting at an awful truth behind the high burnout right. Things just aren't going at *all* the way she'd planned

@ summer_sparrow, Organization: Beat The Burnout Goal: To Stop Being Dropped Groundside Minority, Not Majority Hope these help! My plot synopsis: Special FBI Agent (America) Colby Mohgan and Special FBI Agent (America) Joshua Martin hate each other. They can be polite with each other down in the office, they admire each others' work in the field, but after that, nothing. When Joshua Martin's boss assigns them to work on an undercover case together, both assume the man MUST be insane. (May not be >13 friendly) The undercover case: To investigate the domestic violence shelter for gay male victims. The victims are all gay males who have all recieved help from the same shelter. They've all lived in the same apartment complex during varying time periods. There are other connections, too. When the FBI realizes that there are more than one murder(s) and criminals involved, Joshua and Colby get sent in undercover. Joshua is ordered to physically abuse Colby so that he can get into the domestic violence shelter as a victim and investigate it. Titles would be helpful. (It sounds better when you're reading the book. :))

My novel is about a young girl lives inside her fantasies in order to cope with her neglectful/addict parents. Sometimes the fantasies are cut short by her parents arguing/etc and as things become worse at home her fantasies begin to crumble as well. The fantasies are probably going to consist of mythical creatures like faeries and dragons and such, but the other half when she's not inside a fantasy is realistic. (Also does anyone know what genre this might be? D: I haven't gotten an answer on the other boards yet)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

abra kazam — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:29:58 +0000

I would say the genre would be drama, considering that the fantasy isn't a real thing, but more in her head? For titles, hm... I suppose it depends on the contents of her fantasies, and what they consist of. Is there a specific 'portal' to the 'fantasy world'? 'Behind the curtain' would be cool if you're doing kind of an unmasking-everything kinda way. c: Looking for a title for mine too, unfortunately. Still working on most of the major plot points, but it revolves around a 1920's mobster twist on the little mermaid. A young man longing to escape the 'fake' nature of his town in Rhode Island one night is beaten, bound, and gagged and dropped into the ocean, due to a mystery relating to organized crime his father had been involved in. However, he's saved by a mysterious woman, who later shows up again to find an escape of her own. Suddenly they're trapped dealing with a difference in culture, and fighting to find their own freedom from respective families. (Horrible recap is horrible, I do believe so?)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

barlowgirl737 — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 02:39:47 +0000

Thank you. ^^ And I do like that as a title. :3 Things and people in her fantasy world are supposed to represent things in reality, if that's what you mean by 'unmasking-everything'? For example someone gave me the brilliant idea to have a dragon in her fantasy world be a parallel to her father. I'd like to help you with your title but my mind is drawing a blank. ;D; It sounds like a fun story though. (:

(I do really like Ink Plot, but I want to avoid Ink puns- as it's about both of them, not just her.) Here's the summary again, if people want to take another crack at it: Several hundred years into the future, a ten year old reporter named Ink lives in a run down writer's building in France. Desperate for more money and a little fame, she decides upon the perfect story. The problem is, she has no one to interview. So she kidnaps a seventeen year old boy named Nor.

In futuristic America, all teenagers are required to take a standardized test, and pass with almost flying colors, in order to "graduate". Failure means immediate execution. Passing means continuing on to college and getting a job and family. Our main character, Eric, has always been considered a genius, but is horrible at standardized tests. When he fails the final test, he suddenly needs to escape the government in order to live. I absolutely love the idea, but have no idea at a title.

When Roger wakes up to a bright light that fills his vision, the only thing he can think of immediately is Heaven, but the problem with that is he has the oddest craving for shellfish.Roger hates shellfish. Soon Harry will discover that he had been captured and is now in the clutches of the self proclaimed evil genius Professor Sinister. That isn't the worst of his problems though. Professor Sinister has not only captured Harry but has gone so far as to take his brain and place in the body of a walrus to be his pet. Now Harry must escape the clutches of Professor Sinister and find a way to change himself back, if ever. Before he can escape however, he'll need some allies. Harry's cell mate and sentient jello Jak just might be able to help with that. Even if he escapes though, Professor Sinister has plans for world domination, and something like his pet isn't going to stop him. Roger, Jak and who knows else are going to have to find a way to stop him if they ever want their lives to return to normal.

Okay. I need help for my story title. Normally I start with a title and the story forms around it.. but not this year. Here's the synopsis and an excerpt is on my page. Far in the north of the western edge of the Northern Continent on the planet of Trall, there is a tribe of warriors surviving in the frozen tundra by feasting on the large beasts that reside both on land and in the ocean off the coast. It is there that boys are made men and true warriors after their thirteenth birthday when they leave the village off into the cold frozen wastes to the east, north, or south on their Grealak, a form of spirit quest. While on these quests, they will meet an animal, one that will have a sudden fiery connection like burning their veins and they will be imbued with powers from that animal. However, a young girl, Isaria, desires to be a warrior like her six older brothers. Though she is far from as strong as them, she struggles to keep up and always demands perfection of herself. It is after she turns thirteen that her life and the tradition of the Grealak is broken by her stumbling across a beast of old, one known to be dead to their vast continent and not one that any of the tribe members ever thought would be brought home.

Aosua is deeply in love with Gyren, and as he is asking her to be his forever, the war horn is blown. Death is sounded. Duis has come. Aosua knew when Gyren had died, deep inside her. So, following a legend, she travels to Duis's land and demands him back. His price? Her firstborn son. Lyan has been living under Duis's command for sixteen years, too long. He finally decides he will escape the killing and torturing he has had to do, even if it does kill his father. It was too much. He escapes to the elf city and falls in love. Together, Lyan and his love kill Duis, while finding out Duis had loved him.

Is Lyan Gyren's first born? Is that the tie in to the first paragraph? Title ideas: Firstborn The Price of Love Ideas for mine? (The working title is White Phoenix but that seems a little.... dull?) Clea is a slightly less than average girl. Magic that comes naturally to others is an act of will for her. However, when the boy she has loved all her life is chosen to become a Necromancer she must use her strong will to pass the test herself and follow him. And follow him she does, all the way to the School of Evening set between the world of the Living and the Dead. Accidentally blinded, there is the promise of healing, but she must begin classes without her sight. The school is strange and frightening, peopled with students that are both exceptional and reserved, and strict, secretive teachers who seem to have an agenda all their own. But she has one ray of hope. She has found her childhood friend, the one she followed here. Or as she? Brennan, now called White Hawk, is not the same as she remembers him and stranger still are the warnings she receives from her classmates to stay away. Haunted by eerie screams at night and rooms that change at whim during the day, Clea will discover the truth behind the whispered rumors of the Phoenix. In the end Clea will have to make a decision which could change the school and her world forever. Will the strength of her love and the power of her will be enough to save the one she loves from a fate worse than death?

@Brightdreams - In the Dark? It could be a metaphorical reference to whatever trouble her friend is getting into, as well as a literal reference to Clea's blindness. I've got Adamantine as the working title, but it was just so I didn't have to called it "Unnamed" xD Turns out life on a farm doesn't much prepare one for the amoral, "might is right" society that sprung up after the creation of intergalactic space travel. Who knew? Liz sure didn't. Luckily, she's got a spine of adamantium and the wiles and wits to make it work. In the new, dog eat dog world, Liz decides that she'd make it - whatever it took. If you can't beat them, join them. Now a bounty hunter, willing to go after anyone for the right price, Liz is as tough and capable as the rest of them, and not at all afraid to do whatever it takes to reach her goals. Jimmy's not exactly sure how he got in this situation. All he'd wanted to do was volunteer his mechanical know-how on a ship for a year or two - make enough money so he could afford to settle down with the girl he left waiting back home, and never have to venture into the hassle of space again. Now Jimmy's got himself mixed all up in what his Momma would call "The Wrong Sort" and he's gotten kidnapped by some totally insane girl, dead-set on revenge on Jimmy's employer and she seems entirely too willing to just kill Jimmy and be done with it. Maybe his Momma was right when she said no good would come of his plans of short-term space employment. With the advent of space travel, the stars are the new frontier. And, as with any frontier, criminal elements gained a foothold far faster than the law. Liz wants to avenge a lost friend, Jimmy just wants to get home in one piece, and all of the 'verse is just looking for a quick buck.

cuendillar — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:33:23 +0000

@Lollem - This may be crazy, but I kind of like "The Wrong Sort". == I'm stuck on my title. I have "Tribute" for now, but I hate it - it's too Hunger Games-ish and while Ellie *IS* the Tribute, it just feels kind of flat. Any ideas? Here's my synopsis: Elinor Cartwright isn’t anyone special. She’s just pretty enough, smart enough, and friendly enough to be on the fringes of the “popular” circles that her twin brother Elliot moves through with ease, but she can’t help feeling like she doesn’t belong. She dreams of leaving their little mountain village, but knows that it isn’t likely she will. All of that changes on her seventeenth birthday. The Order of Alerion, lead by a mysterious man called Brother Josiah, descend upon her little town and make a devastating choice. It’s an Atonement Year, when one girl from the Kingdom of Euphrata is adopted into the royal family before she is left at the Gates of Atonement as a human sacrifice for the ancient winged race of Alerion. One girl must be killed to keep humankind safe from their ancient masters. Ellie is that girl. Against her will, she is ripped from the only home she’s ever known and thrust into a dangerous new world filled with incredible beauty and unspeakable cruelty. For one year, she must live as a princess in a place where she can trust no one while she desperately tries to find her way home. Meanwhile, a young Alerion rebel, Wesley, has been stripped of his wings and left Flightless. He disguises himself as an acolyte with one intention: to bring the down the Order from the inside and stop the corrupt Alerion Eldest from once again enslaving humankind. As tensions rise on the Council of Elders, one thing is clear: war is coming, and no one, human or Alerion, is safe. He must stop the sacrifice and undermine the authority of the Order at any cost, even if that means killing the girl himself. A chance encounter between Wes and Ellie leads to a secret friendship and a blossoming romance. Eventually, they must find a way to save not only each other, but both of their worlds, before Ellie’s year is up and they are torn apart forever. Time is running out. Thanks! :D

The Clock Strikes Atonement The Change of Euphrata Euphrata and Atonement A Sacrifice of Alerion Stripping the Wings from Alerion Eh, sorry, I'm not spectacular at thinking up names... which is why I'm asking for help with mine. I've got "The Girl Who Thought Ahead" right now, but it's a tad bit... bland. Emily Cale is a girl with no past and a grim future. She is a one-in-a-million miracle, or perhaps a curse, an abnormality that should not exist by medical definition. Affected by a disease known as extreme mania by it's creators, she has no symptoms of "regular" mania. Instead, Emily is one of the few peope on earth who can truthfully look into the future -almost literally. Her mania has been altered, changed, and now her brain thinks more quickly than any ever born. Like most afflicted by mania, her thoughts precede rapidly, but unlike most, Emily is able to understand and seperate specific ideas from the whole. She sees and discards billions of ideas seemingly at once, and makes life-altering decisions in the blink of an eye. Now, escaped from the research facility that forced this gift upon her, Emily must leap into a world that wants nothing more than to lay it's grasping hands on her abilities. On the run from governments, individuals with an inkling of her power, and the people who created her, she must stay one step ahead of her pursuers and find a cure to her damnable burden. But even if Emily finds this mythical antidote, will she be able to embrace the change, knowing it will leave her blind and once again normal? Or will she find another way to continue thinking ahead?

This reminds me of the movie Heavenly Creatures, though it sounds like your's isn't so dark as that. It's a great concept and is actually something that my brother does to a disturbing extent. Is there a name for her imaginary world? You could use that for the title. "A Better Version" - Or something along those lines. Version may not be the best word for the narrator's voice... "Mirrored In Mind" "Reflections" Is there one particular character within her fantasy world that helps to draw her out of it? Someone who is paralleled in her reality? You could use their name as the title, something like "From (their Fantasy name) to (their real name)." In order to represent and foreshadow her eventual withdrawal from her fantasy world. Or you could flip it around if she's going to end up withdrawing completely from reality.

Well, this isn't for my current story - but I'm probably gonna be doing two others (says the guy who hasnt even started on the first yet). Here's the sort of idea, it's kind of like two stories in one in a way: Hard boiled private eye, Derek, is caught in a tough situation with no way out. Robert has a mundane life - his crushing existence and desire for escape. Robert, working in his cubicle, imagines himself being this private eye. The relationship/double life is established over time. Robert begins suspecting his boss of something illegal (perhaps something to do with drugs). He, assuming the role of Derek the Detective, proceeds to investigate his boss and discovers crucial and critical evidence that could put his boss behind bars, but eventually Robert/Derek carefully consider whether or not they should turn the boss in. Eventually, Robert returns, discovering his boss has already been arrested by an unassuming co-worker - and after that, Robert resumes his empty and uninteresting existence in the sea of cubicles.

It certainly fits better than Adamnatine, which has little/nothing to do with the rest of the story xD I sort of like "Flightless" for your story - it implies being trapped, which fits Ellie, and describes Wes.

Alex is 14 years old and recently started high school in a new city. She doesn't know anybody, and is having to face the unwelcoming cliques. Though on top of everything, she suffers from seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression in which nobody knows about, not even her loving uncle, Grady. And not only is she trying to not "fall" into her usual gloom around winter, she has to deal with something unreal. The "something unreal" is basically some type of aliens end up taking over, where the whole world is fighting against them(gonna develop way more into that, just not too sure how yet).. I thought of "The Winter Seize", because of it being winter when she gets depressed, and seize as in take over. All title ideas will be appreciated ! Thanks.

One day (i don't know exactly how yet) he receives the power of electricity ( he can shoot lightnings from his hands and everything that is possible to with electricity). He receives an anonymous tip, that here are 31 other people like him, of which all have elemental powers ( water, fire, earth, air, ice, electricity, light and darkness.) As soon one sees another using these powers, the have to fight for their life. On top of that, there is a many thousand years old organisation, who hunts down these kind of people and try to kill them. A chase around the globe, from europe to south and then to north america, ending in asia begins, while Adrian and his best friends meet new people. It's an outlining.

My story's outline is sort of vague and the characters have morphed into people of their own (aka, different than I'd originally planned) so bear with me here. Isabella Morgan awakes from a trauma-induced coma and learns she's been in it for five months. Slowly, desperately, trying to piece her life back together, she learns that she was attacked one cold, March night but gives it no more thought. Four weeks pass and she moves back to her hometown. Relying on her relationship with old friends, sister and niece, Isabella can't help but feel like she's being watched. And then the memories come back. Spotty, irregular and anything but nice, Isabella is haunted. Clip after clip of her being attacked, researching something at a Chemical Disposal company she can't hardly remember working at and memories of horrific experimental discoveries force Isabella to dig boxes of stolen files out of storage - literally - and put the pieces back together. But the more she learns, the more she wishes she hadn't and the more she can't help but dig deeper. Isabella's paranoia levels skyrocket when the Therapist she was seeing - for talking about ALL of her memories with - suddenly commits suicide. Police suspect foul play and Isabella can't say that she judges them. Combine that with unwanted attention coming from her old employers when she starts snooping around, with this Jeffrey Hughes that's around too often to be coincidental and a little too secretive for her liking and Isabella's not quite sure that remembering was such a good thing. She might be able to save some peoples lives - but it's a far chance and she'll likely loose her own in the process. I am struggling so bad for a title for this. Note: I'm not quite sure if I'll dig deep into the experimental aspect of this or just keep it vague and on the surface but it'll def. be there.

Enigmatic leader is orchestrating a plot to use an immense (galaxy-sized) ship's energy core to essentially restart the universe and prevent humanity from destroying itself with its current level of technology. Leads a "terrorist organization" to further the plan. A young woman born in nobility is faced with the destruction of her planet (aboard the ship, Judgement) by some unknown military force. She takes it upon herself to exact revenge against the organization who destroyed her home. Plot entails her journey throughout the ship, and her drive to destroy the culprits (who are the terrorists mentioned before) and the discovery of the plot.

I whipped up this synopsis really quick and I'm not sure how happy I am with it, but maybe someone could help me? The teenage world has been split into two sides - the squeaky clean, perky but powerful Populists and the underdogs, the gritty, admittedly self-indulgent Revolutionists. When the leaders of the two factions fight over the same boy, all hell breaks loose. An ambitious academic must keep her place as her leader's right hand girl, a disenchanted philosopher must reconcile her childhood memories with her murky future, the world's best liar finds his own truth, and the new girl must figure out where she fits in in all this mess, if she fits in at all. Ideologies will clash, hearts will be broken, and a truth will be revealed: who is the fairest of them all? What girl is good enough to steal Prince Charming's heart? What is love anyway? And does any of it matter in the end? (Some other details that are important for me to convey are that the story focuses on how teenage girls and cliques interact with each other, american subcultures, and the need to be accepted/loved Also it would be cool if the title was just two words but honestly its not a priority at this point)

Which is only second to the fact that the thief who is the cause of this absolutely HAS to find what he has lost or else he's not going to be paid the obscenely large amount of money he was promised. This doesn't prove to be easy when what he needs turns out to be in the hands of Alis' best friend Vi, who embarks on a journey to get to the palace and kindly inform them that this is all a big misunderstanding. Before she can get there however, she crosses path with a cowardly Magician on the run from the law for escaping the Magic Academy, and Brissila, a snooty mermaid supposed to be the next sacrifice for an enormous aquatic monster who doesn't have much say in what she does. Combined with the sword she was given by a large blacksmith who claims to be able to see the future, Vi is quite certain that things are getting way off track. Especially when the person who hired the thief begins to get impatient, and they find out just what the Amulet is for. It doesn't look like Alis will be getting saved anytime soon.

It is somewhere in the distant future, and tensions are rising between the races on each planet of our Solar System (including Pluto, wouldn't want to leave Pluto out). Earth and Neptune are on the brink of war, and many civilizations seem ready to join in. However, this is merely the background for the story. Three orphans from three different orphanages on three different planets all end up on one space station for one reason or another. April, an alien abandoned on Earth, has headed there on a field trip. Mae, a Venusian native, has her transport ship hijacked and forcibly piloted to the station. March- well, I don't quite know what March is doing there yet. But his hair is magnetic, so that's a plus. All three orphans meet up somehow on the space station and decide that their lives would be much better if they stole a small spaceship and set off in search for their parents. They embark on their mission in the midst of interplanetary war, and their adventures begin!

From The Beginning Fresh Start Calling On Judgement Are the terrorists calling their plan anything? Usual there's a name for it, so you could use that. ...What's your main character's name? You could put that in the title - "(Character's Name)'s Judgement" I also like to take titles from quotes online, or from sentences within my story. You could have a look through qouteland.com, they list their quotes by theme. Find your overall theme and then, if you find a quote you really like, you take part of it and use it for the title. For example, the title for one of my novels, Being What It Is, comes from the quote - "Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge." By (I forget lol)

Amazonia has spent the last fifteen years at war with the Northern Union. Although there are constant battles, the war has come to this impasse that is almost a truce. But some people want the Union to win the war and take control, and a conspiracy is brewing. The only ones who have the parts to thwart this plot are seven young people with origins and histories of the most varied, which come across each other on the streets of Córdoba. How can a group of criminals, outcasts and anti-heroes save the future of a continent? Any help?

Here's mine. Help please! =) - - - The war is escalating. What had been small skirmishes of no more than a hundred have now massed into battles of thousands. Goblins, trolls and other demons have been rallied under a single banner by an unknown enemy and are pushing the Imperial army back. Meanwhile, the North Lords have taken this opportunity to declare war and seize Imperial lands. The Imperial army is struggling to hold their lines against this two sided war, and in desperation turn to the League for assistance, an army consisting of the very best warriors, mages and battle wizards of all races. Men, Elves, Dwarves The League agrees, and helps push the war to a standstill. With the Imperial army now focusing on the war with the North Lords, the League is left to hold the line against the demonspawn. And now, a massive magic pulse was detected, an artifact powerful enough to tip the balance of war. The League and Imperials scramble to get to it, knowing full well that dark forces would be doing the same.

ok here's mine. the teenage girl who will someday become the Celtic goddess Danu, is a princess in a city that's scientifically and magically more advanced than the rest of the world. they get attacked by barbarian warriors (the Celts), which clearly can't do much damage...until the chief magician, angry at being pushed aside by the king, betrays them to the barbarians. the city's survivors are forced to their underground sanctuary and become a myth. i have a title for the series (i'm planning to do seven, this is part three), i called it "house of seven dragons" which sounds a bit chinese but...i like it. there's a lot of dragons and dragon-influenced magic, and each of the main characters wears a dragon pendant. this part of the series is sorta backstory for the other characters, who are set in modern times. i dont have a clue what to name it. >.<

War Stories Battle for [name of your artifact, or if there's a particular territory they're fighting over, etc] name of your world? if it's something catchy or melodic, just put that. what is the war really about? that would influence my choices here. are they just fighting because they're hateful, or are they fighting for territory, need of money, religious differences, one side is into necromancy, etc etc? (i always find necromancy is a good enough excuse for a war, but that might just be me.)

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

beansideirae — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:56:08 +0000

sorry, i should have included that the princess is put in temporary charge by the king (even though girls are never allowed leadership roles), who then dies, leaving her in a precarious position as leader of a people who aren't sure they trust her to lead them, all during a war. the magician was one of the king's chief advisors, but he's pissed at being pushed aside for the princess. hopefully that makes it clearer.

"Melancholy" "Ring of Fire" - haha "Shattered" "Abandon Ship" My advice would be to find a sentence that you've written that you absolutely LOVE and that summates the feeling of the novel. Either use it, part of it, or condense it to fit the title. I know, very Gone With the Wind, but it's a good process that works. OR you could always just find a lovely synonym for numb/depression/abandonment.

Ok, so here we go. The tentative title that I have on my novel right now is just not working for me. Not just because its unoriginal, but because the characters in my head are giving me funny looks and pouting, and are generally just causing a fit because it's not... *Blushes and mumbles*.... suited to the spirit of their story, whatever the heck that means. Siza has always respected her brother; loved him and cherished him as family, as a role model, and finally as a teacher. But she learns gradually that sometimes love can mean very different things. As she struggles down the path that she has been thrust into she finds that even though his love is different than hers, she can still attempt to save him. When that becomes impossible and she is again pushed into a situation that she would rather not be in, she discovers that her background just makes her the perfect weapon... and her brother just may be on the receiving end of her blade. Eh, doesnt offer too much in the way of whats going to happen in the story but... I could still use some ideas!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Well, the war started with the demonspawn being pricks and deciding to spoil the day of the closest country. Then the North Lords going, "Hey, they're distracted! LET'S GET EM!"

If it helps any, later on in the novel her brother sends her to kill their King... but things don't exactly turn out to plan. >D It's a twisted ... I have to say love story but, really, that's what it is in the end. With her brother loving her, her unable to function properly and show love to whom she actually -does- fall for, and with a tyrannical king that believes he can just have whatever he wants falling in love with her.. (but not all daisies and roses, because he's not the type to throw away noble background to marry a commoner, and a bit too heavy a thirst for blood.) Lol dunno if that helps at all, but yeah....

Hmm... We Call This Twisted Opposite isn't Attraction The Unwilling Magnet Sorry, that be all I got. After all, if I was good at writing titles, I wouldn't be asking for help here. :P My original title is "The Girl Who Thought Ahead" but I find it a little bland. Here's the synopsis. Emily Cale is a girl with no past and a grim future. She is a one-in-a-million miracle, or perhaps a curse, an abnormality that should not exist by medical definition. Affected by a disease known as extreme mania by it's creators, she has no symptoms of "regular" mania. Instead, Emily is one of the few peope on earth who can truthfully say they can multi-task with perfection. Her affliction has been altered, changed, and now her brain thinks more quickly than any ever born. Like most afflicted by mania, her thoughts precede rapidly, but unlike most, Emily is able to understand and seperate specific ideas from the whole. She sees and discards billions of ideas seemingly at once, and makes life-altering decisions in the blink of an eye. But there's a catch; she can barely control when these information overloads occur, and nor can she make them stop until they've run their course. Now, escaped from the research facility that forced this gift upon her, Emily must leap into a world that wants nothing more than to lay it's grasping hands on her abilities. On the run from governments, individuals with an inkling of her power, and the people who created her, she must stay one step ahead of her pursuers and find a cure to her damnable burden. But even if Emily finds this mythical antidote, will she be able to embrace the change, knowing it will leave her blind and normal? Or will she find another way to think ahead?

I like the Girl Who Thought Ahead. Living Mind Alive Inside (Idk, it seemed like her mind had extra energy XD) Thought What Could Be (or What Could Have Been, but really it seems like both) Ack, I'm horrible at this. Okay...here goes mine. Aosua loved Gyren more than she knew herself, but the day he left, the day he died, she learned. She learned she could not live without him. Aosua had once heard a song that said the dead could be brought back to life. She only had to go to Duis, the evil Gargoyle leader, and pay for his life with a unnamed price. Duis named the price, and that day the price was her firstborn son. Lyan knew the consequences of disobeying Duis, he had been told them many times. His mother had traded him for his father, and his father would die if he did wrong by Duis. But after sixteen years of killing and doing the creature's bidding, was it even worth it? If his father died, did it even matter to Lyan anymore? All he knew was that he had to escape Duis forever. Why had Duis even kept him around to begin with? The working title is "Sacrifices" or "Sacrifice'?

So after having my synopsis critiqued I supposed I would come here. My working title is just "Circe's Cirque," but I don't want something so simple and straightforward. "Annabel Lee is a 16-year-old girl from a little town called Fairfax. Her life is fairly normal - besides the fact that her legs are paralyzed, she's stuck in a wheelchair, her best friend Telemachus has cancer, her father is wildly in debt, and...well, maybe it's not so normal after all. She's learned to live with it all, though. But one day, when a circus, led by the mysterious woman known only as Circe, comes to town, she's given a chance to embrace the weirdness and sign up with Circe's Cirque. But something's up. The Invisible (Wo)man - she seems to have disappeared. The Gentlemanly Werewolf - is he the one shedding all over the place? And the Nature Lord - maybe he's why Ma Shelby's crops sprouted up so quickly. In the course of one fateful night, Annie and Telly learn something fabulous, something that Circe has been keeping hidden: the so-called freaks are real, and they're not happy about it. The Cirque is looking for a mystical potion based in urban folklore. It's said that a single drop will cure any ailment, restore any loss - make them normal again. With the tempation of regaining her lost legs and Telly surviving his disease too great, Annie will do her best to help the motley crew in their journey across the country, and along the way discover a few more strange secrets about her friends, her family, and the circus itself..."

Cool thread idea! Here's my synopsis: The traumatic brain injury that disqualified Callie Law from active duty in Afghanistan has some peculiar side effects. Her sight, hearing, and speed of movement are better than they were before the injury, but she also has mood swings and seizures so severe that she can't even drive a car. Cal's almost relieved when a representative of the mysterious Severian Order identifies the neurological symptoms as the result of possession by an Afghan mountain spirit. The Order might be able to help her, after she does something for them. Two agents of the Order have disappeared in the Afghan mountains. Coalition forces are pulling out of Nuristan Province, but Cal and a rescue team of powerful Order agents are going in.

But down in the depths they find a cavern and inside they find a serious of other rooms/caves and one contains skeletons and a small device and a video camera of sorts. The video shows the diary of the small machine and how its used for time travel...and why there are bodies down in the deep. The machine comes to life and the group of four are transported back to the cretaceous. No ones a dino expert but soon they have to be, but theres a bigger threat then the dinosaurs approaching, the end of the world. They have arrived right at the end of the cretaceous and are about to witness first hand the KT Boundry Event, the event that wipes out virtually all life on earth.

Lukas and Janna Erikson have two secrets: their daughters. Delia was born with superhuman strength and speed, and seems to be developing new powers as she grows. Their adopted daughter, Anna, seems to have powers of her own, but they're so strange that her parents don't exactly know what they are, though they sometimes suspect that Anna may not be an ordinary human girl. Now, the girls are in high school. Delia, at 16, is sweet, popular, and smart. She's head cheerleader and class president. She's an idealist and believes that everyone is a good person at heart. 15-year-old Anna, on the other hand is shy and quiet, and even smarter than Delia. Other students only know who she is because she's "Delia's little sister". She doesn't believe in the same things Delia does; she think people would gladly throw each other to the wolves if it were convenient for them. She doesen't see the world in the same black-and-white way as Delia. As Delia and Anna grow up, developing these opposite identities, they also develop their powers. They both believe they can use their abilities to help people, but have completely different ideas of how to do it and who to help. They try just agreeing to disagree, but it's not that easy. As their paths cross a few to many times, they realize that their conflicting personalities, powers, and ideals could end up pushing sibling rivalry to a whole new level.

Pictureframed Juvenile Deficiency Diamond-Cut Delinquent Crime, Punishment, Roommates (I don't know why I thought of those, sorry if terrible) I have two stories. (Also if someone could tell me which to choose) 1st--In the future world, the worldwide economy has collapsed, all languages have merged into one, and racial identity has almost disappeared. Information goes to the highest bidder, it's illegal to learn old languages, and you have to be rich to pay for any education. Cultural-hierarchy gangs roam the streets of a town in constant depression, where the golf-courses and mansions have been converted into community housing. Mona Litzgedd, a foster child who grew out of a non-caring system, has just gotten a new job working as a maid; her Japanese roommate (a former gang member and more than she seems to be) has been kidnapped; and now she is in the middle of a gang war and political crisis that involves the postal system and forbidden languages of a lost world. Is actually fairly light-toned and comedic. 2nd--The world is split into two--Tirthi, the civilised North, and Astvarra, the empire of tiny kingdoms that sprawls over the South. A desert separates them, and a magical boundary, but something has crossed over. Elaena is the adopted daughter of an elderly prince, and in a fit of temper ran away from home. By the time she decides to go back, a talking cat and inhuman being who knew her mother find her and demand that she finds another missing princess. Several mistaken identities, amnesia, and assassins add flavor to the crisis, as Lena finds herself going to the High King himself, trying desperately not to be killed in the political upheaval that ensues.

I haven't written a decent synopsis yet (Mostly because I don't have any final character names yet), so this will have to do for now.. 29 year old woman who owns a small business, knows she is adopted but reached nothing but dead ends when looking for her adoptive mother, so gave up at an early age and accepted her adoptive parents. One morning while working she receives a strange phone call, a man in a husky whisper notifying her that "mommy is dead". Thought nothing of it until she received a phone call from a legal official notifying her that a [I haven't named her yet] is dead. When Amy asks the man why he is calling her, he tells her that on the contact form, Amy is listed as the woman's daughter. She is then sucked unwillingly into the whirlwind that is her biological family's past, and being pursued by an unknown man who she presumes to be dangerous, and thinks might have murdered her mother. She is forced to leave her parents and life behind as she goes "on the run", accompanied by her quiet-hearted neighbor. Together, they learn how to become amateur investigators as they follow a bread-crumb trail through her mother's past.

Oh god, I needed this thread so badly XD Working title is The Opposite Game, but I'd love a new one. @scowt, for some reason the title "Crash Course" popped into my head. Other than that, something to do with Friday without being super clichéd...sorry, I kind of suck at this lol.

I suppose you've already nixxed "Checkmate"? "Royal Combat" I like "Black and White" But I suspect you've already considered that one as well. Maybe "Shades of Gray"? Since it seems you're working towards stopping them from being just "Evil Dark" and "Good Light" The title for this book has been giving me ulcers, to be honest. I think its 'cause I want it capture the essence of my FMC without ignoring my MMC, and not only are they incredibly different, but MMC is a little spineless, and likes to be overshadowed by FMC. I've been trying to work my current working title, "The Wrong Sort" to fit the story, but its not really... capturing anything about the story except MMC's Momma, who has just about nothing to do with the story. Synopsis is obviously in my profile, but I figure since I mentioned wanting my characters to factor in, I oughta describe 'em a bit more. Liz is... captivating. I've used dynamic sometimes, but I like captivating better. People are drawn in by her, she's just sort of.. owns her space. People don't necessarily like her, but if she walks in a room, everyone notices her, because of what presence she has. She's completely ruthless, and if she wants something, she's going to get it out of sheer force of will. She could stare down a brick wall and win. Confident almost to the point of arrogance. She's not fully aware of how powerful of a presence she is, but she still uses it without really realizing it. My poor MMC, though, is absolutely terrified of Liz. Poor thing doesn't have the backbone to stand up to an angry puppy, much less Liz. Jimmy grew up in a fairly peaceful town, actually like Liz did, but is much more suited for that sort of life, and unlike Liz, is quite contented with peaceful, small-town life. He's pretty good at mechanics, a hard worker - he's one of those people who's so genuinely nice it sort of surprises you. He doesn't just believe the best of everyone, he embodies it. He likes things to be simple and peaceful, and, when not under stress, does a pretty good job of making things that way. That said, when under stress, he's a bit prone to panic and hide because he doesn't really know how to stand up to things.

Ninja'd Sarah, I'd be all over your novel like a pack of starving wolves on a fresh carcass. Maybe "Reset" since they're resetting the clock? "One Shot"? I'm kinda imagining the drug as being administered via shot, so it would play on the idea of "One shot to get it right" and the actual physical shot that administers the drug.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Kat198 — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 01:34:15 +0000

wow. I'm really bad at this... Does Liz have any nicknames that people call her? Maybe you could go with that? Or something that has to do with bringing the two totally different worlds together? Sorry, that's the best I can do... I'm terrible with titles. I hope that that helps even a little bit :/... Maybe whoever's next will want to give both mine and Lollem's a shot? Delilah wakes in hospital bed with no recollection of her past. All that she has to go by is a small metal bracelet bearing her name. Soon after she arrives in this strange place, she is captured by a rebel group searching for a meaning to the world in which they live. For Delilah isn’t the only one without a past, everyone else is just like her and to make matters worse, every day people will drop dead with absolutely no explanation. Delilah quickly becomes a key player in this search and will lead them to the discovery that the world they are in isn’t real at all, but simply an effect of all those under the influence of highly advanced drugs. Each and every citizen of this dream realm is being used as a lab rat for the government and each one for a reason. Over the course of the novel, bits of her past will be revealed to Delilah and she eventually discovers the reason she was chosen; she was an outlaw in her previous life. The government thought her a traitor, a threat, and otherwise useless. The rebel group must continue to bring back old memories and eventually, find a way to escape. However, it won’t be easy and not every life will be spared. Also, Delilah will be more important than she could ever have imagined, with the help of rebel soldiers Jaxon, Leo, and Devyn, will she be able to do the impossible? Will she be able to unlock others from the imprisonment of their own minds?

Actually the phrase "Lab Rats" just popped out at me, but don't know if it could work for a title. For something completely different, I need a title for a book my MMC is writing! It is a children's book about an Earth Elf and Wind Fairy who fall in love. A Romeo and Juliet plot, but the elf's name is Lief Briarwood and the fairy is Robin Thistledown. Thanks!

I have some suggestions too! Sorry I'm late ... just joined the site. Anyway, how about "Different forms", "A Mermaid's Eye", "A day at the beach", "Twisted Tails" (probably been used before, mind o.O), "Something Red", "I spy ... Mermaid" "A Mermaid's Tail" (play on words :D) "A lie, a murder, a sighting", "Mermaid Man", "A Mermaid's Secret", "Mermaid's Murder", "A Mermaid Seas", "Secret Seas", "A Man's Sea", "The Last Mermaid" (unless there are other mermaids in the story of course!) Hope that I've helped. I love making up titles :D is there any such job for that? Hehe I love writing too much ;).

@Florida Karma: Lief is pronounced like "leaf" right? I would want to play with the fact that both a leaf and a robin can be found in a tree. ...AAaaaannd now my mind is chanting "Lief and Robin, sitting in a tree..." xD Sorry 'bout that. How about "In the Treetops"? Ugh. I'm really sorry. I feel like I've got a really great idea for it, if the idea would stop being so shy. Its a children's book, so something simple like, "Earth and Wind" might be good. "A Robin's Lief(Leaf)"? "The Wind and Lief"? Trying again for a title, since the person below me didn't have any ideas: The title for this book has been giving me ulcers, to be honest. I think its 'cause I want it capture the essence of my FMC without ignoring my MMC, and not only are they incredibly different, but MMC is a little spineless, and likes to be overshadowed by FMC. I've been trying to work my current working title, "The Wrong Sort" to fit the story, but its not really... capturing anything about the story except MMC's Momma, who has just about nothing to do with the story. Synopsis: Turns out life on a farm wasn't much preparation for the amoral, "might is right" society that sprung up after the creation of intergalactic space travel. Who knew? Liz sure didn't. Luckily, she's got a spine of adamantium and the wiles and wits to make it work. In the new dog eat dog world, Liz decided that she'd make it - whatever it took. If you can't beat them, join them. Now a bounty hunter, willing to go after anyone for the right price, Liz is as tough and capable as the rest of them and not at all afraid to do whatever it takes to reach her goals. Jimmy's not exactly sure how he got in this situation. All he'd wanted to do was volunteer his mechanical know-how on a ship for a year or two - make enough money so he could afford to settle down back planetside, and never have to venture into the hassle of space again. Now Jimmy is mixed all up in what his Momma would call "The Wrong Sort," some totally insane girl is holding him hostage, and she's dead-set on revenge on Jimmy's employer. Unfortunately for Jimmy, she seems entirely too willing to just kill Jimmy and be done with it. Maybe his Momma was right when she said no good would come of his plans of short-term space employment. With the advent of space travel, the stars are the new frontier. And, as with any frontier, criminal elements gained a foothold far faster than the law. Liz wants to avenge a lost friend, Jimmy just wants to get home in one piece, and all of the 'verse is just looking for a quick buck. ~ And since I mentioned wanting my characters to factor in, I figure I oughta describe 'em a bit more. Liz is... captivating. I've used dynamic sometimes, but I like captivating better. People are drawn in by her, she's just sort of.. owns her space.

@ Lollem: I find it so difficult to come up with a title for you! The only thing I could come up with was "Force of Will" or "A Force of Will"...I just don't know! I posted my synopsis a few days back and got little response and since I'm procrastinating, I'm going to re-post here! lol "Gina Vaughn had it all. A loving husband, an adorable son and a small cupcake business she ran out of her home. Then one night her world fell apart. Her husband didn't come home from work and, after a little snooping, Gina discovered her husband was having an affair! Will Gina have the courage to venture out into the world on her own for the first time in her life?"

I feel bad posting without at least recommending a title, but I really don't know!

I've never been good at coming up with them. As for my current novel, I almost have a title but I can't figure out which variation of it sounds the best. It should be so easy! I want to call it either: "Holding Hands And Taking Drugs", "Holding Hands While Taking Drugs" Or "Taking Drugs, Holding Hands" I just can't decide which variation!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

simbaisloved — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 08:19:41 +0000

I like Holding Hands and Taking Drugs best How about this: The destiny of the kingdom relies on which Lord can produce a child first; and when it so happens that two males are born at exactly the same time the kingdom is all but put to rest. The king declares that after 18 years the decision will be made; all the while the story follows Satira, the firstborn female twin of one of these heirs. On her thirteenth birthday she shames her family by being accused of commiting a felony that dooms her innocence to spending the next five years as the palace poison tester; after five years when the kingdom is wild with anticipation of the future king, Satira must prove herself as honest, as well as try not to fall for the other prince that threatens the future of her brother's throne... It's all fun and games until the king gets poisoned; and when all eyes are on Satira, the one already accused of being a liar, things are bound to turn to turmoil.

Princess in Waiting. I guess, the "waiting" part refers both to her servant position at the palace (due to her punishment) and also the "waiting" that everyone is doing for the next king to be announced. Lol, I don't know, honestly. * All actions have consequences, and sometimes the consequences of accidents are even harsher. Corin Price and Theodore Davidson learn this first hand when they accidently conceive a child in college just weeks before their relationship falls apart. Now, three years after the Elliot is born, Theodore pursues his career in law – a lifelong dream – while struggling to maintain a presence in his son’s life. Corin is slowly putting her life back together and, somehow, Theodore’s best friend, Angel, is caught in the middle of it all. What doesn’t help at all is the bond that grows daily between Corin and Angel the more time Angel spends filling in for Theodore in Corin and Elliot’s life. This bond threatens to crush both Angel and Theodore’s friendship as well as Angel’s own relationship with long-time boyfriend, Jeremy. For all of them to get out of this happy, it might take a miracle. (notes: Thank you to OnceUponML for letting me borrow Corin for this endeavor.)

Helly is a Rainbow Weaver- one who is capable of weaving an ancient magic that brings about both good and bad luck. Both "good" and "evil" forces want to take advantage of her ability for their own cause. She will soon find herself on the run from the hounds of hell and their child devouring demon owner.

For this to happen, the government started a top-secret plan to bulid cities in domes underwater. Vienna Bleu has lived in her town beneath the surface her whole life, and has always known that the world above is a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Or is it? Lately, Vienna and her friends have heard rumors that life above ground continues to go on, and their world has been kept hidden from civilians. When Vienna, Maya, and Aaron (unintentionally) find themselves in a government submarine, will they discover that the myths are true? Excerpt We'd always wanted to see the big city, something that was foreign to our small-town dome. We figured that if we stored ourselves on one of the cargo-ships, and left a note for Nana, we could spend sometime in a city, then get onboard a sub heading home. Little did we know, we were going somewhere much farther than that.

Titles for Olivia13Jane: The Underground Up Inside the Fishbowl Life as We Know It My Synopsis: A modern retelling of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", told out in novel form. Katie, a barefoot runaway, returns to her aunt's house after having disappeared off the face of the Earth for almost ten years, leaving her family with questions of where she has been. She answers with stories of love, betrayal, temptation, and a much needed escape. More specifically, Katie blinds her first love- a 20 yr old engineering student (Polyphemus), moves to Massachusetts, avoids the temptation of some hippies who offer her LSD (Lotus Eaters), goes off to a pricey prep school, encounters mean girls (Laestragonians), runs away from home, hitch-hikes to New York City, meets a boy, falls in love (Circe), is convinced by that boy to travel into the underworld of Manhattan, receives a warning from a fortune teller (Tiresias), falls out of love with that boy and sails the coast with some old prep-school friends, meets a new boy, falls in love (Calypso), thinks of marrying him- he even proposes- realizes she misses home and goes to her cousins house, unable to face her parents again, sells her shoes to pay for a bus ticket, and arrives home (Ithaca). My Excerpt: (Opening) It was a return to be frowned upon, with the past judgments made. It was a return with truths to be shared, although the truths would be told along with the lies so that everything and nothing can be told all at once. Lies to tell the truth, a noble paradox, I thought. I returned in the late fall, when frost spiked the dead leaves to sharp points. The leaves crunched beneath my leathery heels, which had long since turned black from a barefoot summer. I tread carefully through the icy dustland, past the dark houses of the cold neighborhood. I did not know where their residents were, though I could recall them, their expression, their mannerisms- all as though they were splashed across the window panes of each individual house. Although they would not concern me- they were memories, distant dreams of the past, nothing of the present or future. I had come with purpose, something outside of memories and houses.

Her mother was murdered when she was younger, and as the MC finds out, she was killed by a very close family friend (perhaps even an uncle) who was in love with her mother and crazy with rage that he couldn't have her. The MC eventually gets kidnapped by him because of her ties to her mother (similar looks, personality, etc) and almost kills her but she escapes in the end. I don't really want a title to do with the murderer's name because that'd give away the ending...haha

Hey, I'm looking for a title, and struggling :( Here's my sypnosis; Kyra has always been scared of dragons, and in a civilisation where taming dragons is everyone's job, not having a dragon is not an option. Having been born to a mage, who was accused of being a witch and deemed unfit as a mother, she lived with her Uncle, her magic building up quietly. Harris, after being beaten by her in many competitions, finds a loophole in the rules and chalenges Kyra to a Dragon Duel despite her lack of a dragon - and loses. Harris joins the Dragon Emissaries, dead set on revenge for his multiple humiliations, and to have Kyra condemmned as a witch. But when Kyra leaves the City of Crazriel before the Dragon Emissaries arrive, the deadly chase begins. I can give you more information if you need it, but any suggestions would be helpful regardless :)

Well, I have a title for my novel already, but I'm still looking for other ideas. c: Here's my current synopsis; I'll get a better one typed up once I have a better clue of where this thing's going. Ashlie Keyes is just an average girl who maybe spends too much time day-dreaming and reading stories. When her mom asks her to go to her grandma's house down the road to give her a cake for her birthday, Ashlie complains, saying it'd cut into her too precious reading time. But, she goes, walking to her gran's house on foot since her car had broken down. She never makes it to her grandmother's house though. Halfway there, she trips over a tree root and tumbles down a long hill, waking up to a boy with floppy rabbit ears telling her that she's his pet and he's her master now. "So I think I shall call you Chocolocks." The boy welcomes her to Otherland, a realm that has no ruler and is home to several Anis -- animal-humans.

I already have a title for mine but I'm considering changing it so... Synopsis: Gabriella is no one special really. Just a stupid and weak 15 year old girl from Texas, living in some small backwoods town with less than 300 people living there. She starts having strange dreams one night and as they go on, they get too realistic for her own comfort. In her dreams she always sees her cousin, Michael, and this other guy from her class, Darien, locked in some sort of battle. It looks as though time itself is frozen while this battle takes place. She thinks it's just a prank being played on her. As it turns out she's reliving last Thursday to Saturday. The same three days over and over. She doesn't realize this at first. But as she makes an attempt to investigate, she finds out things that are too much for any one person to bear. And that the key to everything all revolves around a watch-necklace her father gave to her the day she was born. But more importantly, can she survive long enough to find the answers to her questions? ----- Synopsis fail. XD

Synopsis 24-year old Benjamin Stewart has the ideal American life; went to college, has a steady job, a lovely house with the lawn and the white picket fence and a beautiful fiance whom he will marry in the coming spring. He is everything a man could dream to be in the mid-1950's but yet, he is unhappy. So unhappy, in fact, that Benjamin finds himself falling into a deep depression that he can't break free from and soon finds himself in a mental hospital after losing his job, his house and becoming estranged from both his family and his fiance. Now Benjamin finds solace away from the "crazy people" in a world of books and a fantasy where he has the "normal" life he lost and he is finally happy. However, Benjamin is quickly yanked out of his fantasy by concerned hospital staff and for his own good- they insist -handcuff him to hyper-active, manic patient, Avery Walker who seems to be, for some strange reason, happier than anyone. At first Benjamin refutes this treatment and does all he can to bring Avery down out of whatever "abnormal" state he seems to be in but as time goes on and Benjamin learns more about Avery and what lies behind his beautiful smile and a friendship forms fast. But is this all quite as perfect as it seems? Will either man find their path back to happiness? Will they ever get out of this hospital? And... what if this... is more than just a friendship? Explaination: Based on a bizarre handcuff treatment used in mental hospitals in the 1950's and how it's use effected the lives of patients it was used on. read more here: http://dangerousintersection.org/2007/12/16/bizarre-handcuff-treatment-for-mental-patients-in-the-1950s/ Historical fiction/Homosexual romance Ideas?

The working title is simply "Aschaere," but I was wondering if you guys had some other ideas. Synopsis: The DeAtenshae reign has always been regarded as a cruel, bloody era built up from lies and ruthlessness. Any competition to their power has been known to disappear, sometimes mysteriously, often violently. In Darkness Elemental society, this isn't an uncommon practice, but not usually amongst the ruling family. However, with the changing times, a different sort of heir to the power comes into play. Born not long after his grandfather's time, by far the bloodiest dynasty in the family's history, Aschaere DeAtenshae is brought up to learn through responsibility and honor. With his father fighting to regain the control of a realm still unsettled by the recent past, he is looked upon in two lights - either as the DeAtenshae's last hope or the one who will bring about the final downfall of the Kilaryn territory. Along the way, he unknowingly befriends an eccentric man whose family the DeAtenshae's tried to destroy. Will he be the key to bringing the peace back to the realm?

Hi there guys, My first year at NaNoWrMo, please help me out Synopsis In the fantasy city of Rhashara, the twin sisters Liz and Rawen live poor and on the streets, Liz wishing for a life among the queen's knights, while Rawen only want her sister at her side One day the twins see something they are not supposed to see, and Liz get's killed. As she holds her dying sister in her arms, Rawen promises to avenge her, no matter the cost Follow Rawen's story, as she takes on a life she never really wanted, in order to keep a promise to her sister, and to bring justice to her city Excerpt The royal city of Rhashara. Located in the middle of the land of Erethia, the city was quite a sight for travelers who had walked for quite some time. To the north lay Lake Rowena, named after the lady who according to legend founded the beautiful city by freeing a trapped deity. West of the lake lay the thick and merciless Forest of Pyte, named after a mage who had lived eons ago who had shunned the people of the city who looked down on her for being gifted in the magical arts and had filled the woods with mad creatures who would attack anyone who got near them. There was only one clan who would leave them alone and that was the resentful elves. Having found the human ways disrespectful to nature, and being tired of living in poverty under greedy human rule, the elves had fled to the northen woods, making their own home there. Protecting its citizens from danger, be it animals of elves was the Rhasharan wall, built in white stone, enchanted by magic to withstand the passage of time. The royal guards walked along the wall, keeping their eyes out for any kind of trouble, knowing that their queen was safe in the castle, which lay at the far north of the town, looking out to Lake Rowena. It was early. The sun had barely risen from its hiding place in the east and mist was settling over the forest. As the rest of town started to wake up, someone else had been awake for long enough to get into trouble. “God damn it Liz I told you this was a bad idea.” “Oh come on Rawen how was I supposed to know it would end like this?”

My synopsis skills suck, I warn you now. As their senior year opens at Tennant Academy, school misfit Ciaran Connelly and school princess Alexandria Robinson discover a most unusual friendship in the secrets that they've kept from their peers. However, Ciaran and Alexandria will soon discover that Tennant Academy hosts some very dark secrets of its own... Excerpt (the prologue): Private schools always seem to look as though they’re hiding something sinister within their walls: especially if it’s a private school in a big, old stone building with stained glass windows, an old chapel (which nobody uses anymore because it’s politically incorrect, but it’s a piece of academic history, so nobody will tear it down), and hundreds of winding staircases in such odd places that you can’t help but wonder just what Georgian-era drug the builders were smoking. Tennant Academy was one such private school, hidden deep within woods, guarded by stone walls and iron fences miles away from the school itself. In the 200 years since the school first opened its doors, not much has changed: oh, yes, they got electricity and plumbing and all that sort of thing, and they have updated curriculum, and it certainly isn’t the same staff. This isn’t a story of supernatural creatures and fantastic scenarios - there are other books for that. This is simply a story about the things that human beings do to each other, and the aftermath of an unspeakable evil. So yes, sometimes private schools really do hide sinister things behind their magnificent stained-glass windows. Tennant Academy is one such school.

I could use some help with the title for my novel. This is my first year doing nanowrimo, so I'm not sure how this works, but here's my summary: Tabina lives in a village surrounded by a huge wall. The huge wall is to keep out the outside world who want to kill them, at least that's what the village elders say. Tabina wants to leave though, she is sick and tired of living with her her abusive father, but her best friend Pam doesn't quite understand at first, until Tabina is beaten for stealing food because she's starving. Finally they both attempt to climb the wall, which ends with Pam getting shot and dying. That's when Tabina understands that it's not the outside world she needs to fear, it's her own village's leaders. She manages to escape in the end.

Eloise grew up on stories that her grandmother told her about another world. When her grandmother dies she leaves behind something that Eloise never thought really existed: a key into that world. However, when she arrives she discovers that it is not the peaceful world that all of her childhood fantasies are based on, but rather a world ruled by a cruel and evil king who will try everything in his power to stop her from unlocking her power from within that she never even knew she had. Stranded in this strange world she finds an unlikely ally who claims that he will help her to return to her own world.

Synopsis: Daniel and his 14 year old daughter, Clarissa, take a car ride across the country to visit Daniel's father, whom he hasn't spoken to since Clarissa was born. His relationship with his daughter started to crumble years ago and he hasn't had custody of his daughter since she accidentally killed her mother two years ago. He's afraid that his daughter is losing touch with reality because she is quixotically starting to openly talk about zombies being in the world. This road trip may be his last chance to connect with her. Clarissa has only begun to unravel some of the mysteries behind the zombies in her world and now her father wants to take her on a trip across the country. His denial is going to be a danger to both of them, but she knows he also holds a lot of clues to what's going wrong in the world around her. This road trip may be her best chance to find out the answers to why her mother became a zombie. They both do love each other, but the only thing they both agree on is that at the end of this trip Daniel has to kill his father.

Take a Greek legend and fast forward in time. The Cast: Ekaris/Icarus: a mental patient Detlas/Daedlus: his father, an inventor Mynus/Minos: the bajillionaire who hires Detlas Pasify/Pasiphae: his wife, who has a bad habit of sleeping with the local livestock Toran/Minotaur: their son, and Icarus' scientific experiment (For those who are unsure, the legend of Pasiphae and the Bull goes thusly: King Minos promises Poseidon that he will make a sacrifice of a white bull, if Poseidon provides the sacrifice. The sea god does provide, but Minos refuses to sacrifice the bull. To get back at Minos, Poseidon makes Minos' wife Pasiphae fall in love with the animal. She asks Daedalus to build her a contraption to get close to it; he creates a wooden cow and Pasiphae eventually gives birth to a half-man, half-bull creature known as the Minotaur. Minos forces Daedalus to create the labyrinth which serves as a prison for the creature, and every seven years seven young men and seven young women from Athens are sacrificed to the beast.)

I have no idea what you mean by the world is falling apart, or whether she's trying to build the world back up again or what. If this is what she's trying to do, I might call it "Rebirthing" I don't know if that makes sense to you, but if she's building it back up, and I assume trying to wake the people up, it would be like the world is being reborn, and then kind of the people, also. That probably wasn't really helpful... but yeah... And if anyone can come up with a title for mine, maybe, that would be awesome! I have noooo idea what to call it.... XP

This is my tentative plot. It will likely change. --- A murderous sociopath with a dark, troubled past, and a job as a professional hitman. A beautiful singer that sees the world as her oyster. Two completely different people like this would normally have nothing to do with each other. They don't have a thing in common and one would become the prey of the other. But sometimes, the predator and the prey must live in a world with each other, and something about the prey attract the predator to her, in a strange, but magnificent relationship, though one littered with trouble, dishonesty, crime, murder and pasts that can threaten to end it all. Sometimes the past really does catch up with you.

My story is a very Kafkaeske story. There really isn't a specific "plot", it's just supposed to make the reader think. Several chapters will be written from a random point of view on a random topic. Topics include things such as religion, meditation, law, imagination, individuality, and the such. Every few chapters or so, there will be a perspective written by a specific person on how they would feel reading those chapters. For example, how a child might look at this book versus someone who is pro-choice. I'm not sure if you really understood the idea, but I need a title ^^;

I already have a title for my book, but I'd like to see if maybe one of you could help me with a better one? [Note: Right now it's called Deadly Memories, which I don't think fits all that well] Okay, so it's about a girl named Cossette, who lives alone in a mansion with her mother's best friend, Elizabeth, acting has her maid. But, Cossette is actually a girl from around the 18th century in France. In the 18th century, she was an aristrocrats daughter who was sent to England to get married or whatever. [haven't decided on that part fully yet] When she goes to England, before she gets married to some guy her parents told her to marry, she meets a charming young man who she falls in love with and ends up sleeping with and becoming pregnant. Well, the man she was to marry found out and in a fit of rage went out a got a curse cast on her [Yes, I love supernatural stuff] and she dies during childbirth and the man she loved ends up killing himself in depression. Well, as another part of the curse Cossette is forced to live for eteranty, growing up and falling in love and dying through childbirth. [That part is going to be revealed in flashbacks later on] She remembers all her lives, and has become completly accepting of her fate each time it comes. She never lives to turn nineteen. The story starts in 2021, were Cossette is still living through the curse. An American girl, Nicole, moves in next door and ends up befriending her in this really long and complex way that I don't feel like explaining. And, um, the story is really about Nicole finding out that Cossette is cursed and trying to help her [Which Cossette is very used to, everytime she makes a friend they try to save her but fail and end up raising her in her next life. *cough*Elizabeth*cough*] but this time is different and Cossette realizes that there is a way to break the curse, and that Nicole is the only one who can really save her and--Oh, lets face it, there's no way I can really explain the book. But, I do believe it will end with two girls in love. [Isn't that MAGIC?!]....I can't believe I'm posting this....

I don't know if it's relevent, but my MCs are called Syces Novinsky, Daniem Khudolyev and Dimiri Matveyev. SYNOPSIS: The ISN is an empire at war, with the rest of the world, and with itself. The rest of the world is divded into the faux-democracy of the ADZ and the socialist SSR. Despite its wealth, the ISN begins to lose the war and lose land as a result of the ADZ’s secret weapon: Koninide bombs. In the year 2150, the bombs killed countless millions and realeased Koninide, a poisonous gas, into the atmosphere. Yet the bombs had an effect that none predicted: while Koninide often kills the weakest humans, it begins to create Eschers. Their minds have been changed in a way resembling the worst mentall illnesses. Some crave war, others are found cutting open their own bodies. Despite the ISN’s attempts at controlling them, they revolt. And they succeed. The story of the revolution, the world after it and the world before it is told by three Eschers. They depend on each other for some tenuous stability in their lives, but the atrocities of one and the horrors witnessed by all haunt them, forcing them to confront the worst in themselves and each other. Their stories are blood-drenched tales of horror, of lost and broken love, but of hope and survival.

The future is nothing like we imagined. War, poverty, and natural disaster has brought us into a new type of future, and a future where an education is so difficult to receive, people would ship their kids across the United States, which has now, other than California and North Carolina, become a barren wasteland. When their school is attacked by a mass murderer, what will these kids do to get back home, or just to survive? This is pretty much the VERY brief description of my novel, but there's a lot more to it. There's of course teen drama, because teens bring drama into EEVERRYYTHHINNNGGG! And there's a love triangle, between a gay boy, a bisexual boy, and a straight girl.

Literally. She's cutting herself and she's anorexic. Rebecca is trying to hold the pieces together but at the same time, Rebecca's family is falling apart. So they have to hold each other together through Rebecca's parents divorce.

Here are a few from the top of my head: -Broken Love -Reasons for Us Can somebody help with mine? Synopsis: Meet Jastreb, an orphaned teenager with no clan to call his own. Dive back into the ancient world of clans and spirits and view our world from a different time. Follow him as he realises that the world is not only made up of the good, such and he and his master, and the evil, such as most of the clan people. Accompany him on the journey of a life time as he learns more about the clans, spirits and ultimately himself than he ever thought he could know. Basically what happens is Jastreb has to learn things about who he is from various clans and realise that he had been told a series of lies to help his master, who is actually the villain, do stuff with spirits and demons that will put him in charge, or something. I haven't quite figured that bit out yet but...any help?

Okay I have Emily and Chris. Emily moved to town right before high school and is neighbors with chris. they become best friends, and later on, they fall in love. they have 'the hideout'- an abandoned treehouse in the woods- that they keep all their secrets in. they spend much of their time there, watching stars, talking, and escaping from reality. there is a mattress up there and a bottle of wine, just a few of their many secrets. no one else knows about the hideout. but emily has a secret she's kept from Chris. she had a heart transplant and everyday takes medication so her body doesn't reject the heart. she cant tell him because she is afraid he won't treat her normally anymore. but then he finds out and she cant face him. she runs away from home and hides in the hideout. but she knows chris will come find her there. she lays out on the roof (in the middle of a huge storm) and ends up getting pneumonia. chris does come find her, unconscious, then reveals where the hideout is so a helicopter can take emily to the hospital. as emily recovers, she refuses to see chris. but her condition deteriorates, because without chris she has no will to live. the nurses break the rules and allow chris to come in, despite what emily said. in order to show emily he treats her the same, chris sneaks her out of the hospital and takes her to a special place (not the hideout- emily doesnt have the strength to climb up). there he either proposes to her or gives her a promise ring (more likely a promise ring becasue they are seniors in high school at this time). Titles?

Later struggles with finances, keeping in mind that when you don't have a job, or when you can't pay taxes, you go to the Encloser. They say that putting people in the Encloser, a place with not enough food and absolutely no health care, helps the cities population. When Quellus' money runs dry she gets sent to the Encloser, and finds that her best friend, Felian, has just been sent there, too. She gets through the month getting more and more used to it's poor conditions. But Felian, however, is getting sicker. When Felian recently died Quellus has heard news that the cities 900 year depression has ended, and she gets released. She finds a well-paying job and a decent house, and lives the rest of her life for her friend.

Hey there, as would be obvious I kinda need titling help. But the thing is, I've planned my novel to eventually be a trilogy... It's about six teenagers who are thrown into a war on an alternate Earth. There they discover that they are part of an elite group of people with powers and they were put on Earth for their own protection, because, after all, it's those that are gifted that the evils want to corrupt and use against the good. In between fighting, hiding, getting hurt, finding love, losing love, and dealing with the horrors of war, they also have to find a way to ultimately save their planet from being destroyed. I've tentatively titled the first one 'The Gifted' Any suggestions?

OK, here I come: Clive lives on the streets of a ruthless industrial city, one into which the sculptor Lyen has to flee after her impressive talent, forbidden to use on anything but inanimate material, maims another human being. As the two of them stumble through streets slick with rain, a shady theatre company seems like an ideal place to lay low for a while - at least until they realize what's happening behind the scenes. The idea being that Lyen can turn matter into stone with touch, and she is very, very talented, which brings her into trouble. However, she is not the main character (because she's so cool, lol), the story is told from Clive's point of view with the sculptor acting as some sort of a Mysterious Stranger type character. At the moment, I'm going with "The Statue and the Mask", which brings out both the sculpting and theatre-related themes in the story, but I will be happy to hear more suggestions!

Here's my synopsis: Christian, a young Golden-blood (humans that have supernatural abilities and are pretty much Nephilim, but are hunted down by normal humans), is on the run from a stupid government. Along with his friends, Skylar and Cameron, they try to find a way to bring it down. They meet a girl named Gloria, who just so happens to be human girl who is the daughter of the President of the humans. Convincing her to leave her sheltered home, they decided to make their way to Aeris, a sky-bound group of islands and safe haven where Golden-Bloods are free. Things start to get weird, as they notice Gloria healing at extraordinary rates and plants blooming around her. They soon realise that they are being chased by an old childhood friend of Gloria's, who has teamed up with somebody in Christian's past who wants revenge. He, a young boy, has pretty much orchestrated the whole war between humans and Golden-Bloods for own personal gain, and wants Gloria on his side because of her freaky abilities. When she denies him, he shoots her straight through the brain. When she realises she's not dead, Gloria makes a wonderful discovery. She's immortal. And definitely not as human as she once thought.

@ HecticZ: - Touch of Gold - A Girl Named Gloria (a little cliché but...) - The Immortal(s) Hope you like! Here's my synopsis: My name is Michael Walker. I'm 19 years old. When I was 9, my best friend died in a fire. On the tenth anniversary of her death, I started seeing people out of the corner of my eye that would disappear the moment I turned to look at them. It wasn't long after this that I was approached by The Conclave of the Chimerical and admitted to their ranks. It only gets more complicated when I find out that my childhood friend is alive and well, especially once she introduces me to the world beneath the surface, the world of Mythology. This world is locked in strife however, and the only one who might have the power to set it right is the totem spirit that haunts me. If I can get him to cooperate that is. I'm currently going with Totem Walking, although more input and suggestions would be very welcome!

Synopsis: Naomi's life has always been normal. Normal parents, normal school, normal friends. But one day, her parents bring her some not so normal life changing news. It turns out, Naomi was an unexpected child; a surprise. Not in the usual manner. She was literally thrown into the arms of her parents by her biological father, a drunk who seemed to want nothing to do with Naomi. The people who Naomi has known her entire life as Mom and Dad have become strangers to her, so she seeks out her real father; the one who should have been there. When she finds him, a surprising turn of events takes place. Naomi's dad offers to take her in, so they can build a proper relationship. Naomi agrees, making her decision mostly based on anger towards her so-called parents, and leaves them behind, ready to start a new life with her seemingly clean father. But is he really done with alcohol? As Naomi gets to know him, she realizes things aren't always as they seem at first.

Nifty, chap. "Handed to Strangers" is generic, yet suitable. For more of a teenager view on things "My Parents are Bogus" kinda works. But I must say, "bogus" isn't used that often no more. "Holding Hands with Strangers" Is what I thought to be a good option. But it all really depends on what you, as the author, thinks.

I need a title for my novel, and I'm sorry, but my synopsis isn't that great, and also not as short as it could be: Since her father's disappearance 2 years ago, Zoe has done everything by the book. Her and Nathan, her childhood best friend, neighbor and her father's apprentice have successfully kept the goldsmith shop running. The bills are always paid, and the customers happy. Her father would be proud. The only thing she hasn't done is attend university, as she was supposed to two years ago. In order for her to attend university, they have to hire another employee to fill the retail clerk position Zoe's studies at the university will leave open. However, that will mean that the money for university will have to come from somewhere else. When Zoe accepts a dubious job offer with a paycheck too big to refuse, she breaks all codes of honor her dad has taught her in a single day. She accepts to be the stand-in for a princess who has grown up sheltered and secluded from society. Her task is to attend a special university most people are unaware of, and stand-in for the princess. In a day's work she becomes a liar, a fraud and a cheat, but what is worse, she may not only have put herself at risk, but also the princess she was supposed to protect with her job as her fill-in. After what his father did, Alan owes the saving of his family’s reputation to his best friend, Prince Edward, and Edward’s parents alone. When Edward falls in love with a princess, shortly before embarking on his required world tour, he asks Alan to protect the princess - whose siblings were brutally murdered many years ago - and thereby to keep other guys away. Grateful for having an opportunity to repay Edward’s acts of loyalty to him, Alan promises he will let no harm come to her. Only Alan, has never met her, and Edward doesn’t have picture. Only when the real princess goes missing, he finds out that he has been protecting the wrong girl all along. He makes it his mission to find the real princess, and return her safely - but apparently he must share the mission with the fraud who got him into this mess in the first place. .....so I was thinking 'A loyal replacement', which was supposed to be a pun for "royal replacement" which both Zoe and Alan turn out to be. Not crazy about the idea though. I also had "stand-ins", but that one is even worse. Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated. Also, even though the synopsis sounds like I'm writing a romance novel, I'm really more writing it like a mystery/adventure story...so you know, I'm not looking for titles like "princely loins" or "the princess whisperer" or things in that "typical" romance direction. No offense to romance novelists. :)

Help anyone? Zoë Davis is fifteen, violist with a secret. Her secret one of many in a world of turmoil. But there's something different about Zoë: she can see the world from anyone's point of view. She walks in their shoes. It's an uncontrolable ability for her to look into anothers eyes and look back into her own. To her, it's nothing but a curse. A series of murders are commited in the area, all connected but still remain unsolved. One government official brings up an unvistited point of witchcraft. He uses every bit of his power to convince the people that whoever was guilty of the murders was also guilty of withcraft. And it works. The patterns of deaths begin to change. The Houses are convinced. And so the witch hunt begins. While attending a college prep school for musicians, Zoë is confronted about her secret and is offered an option to rid herself of the monster that she posses. Under one condition: she uses her ability to access information from the mind of the 'master puppeteer'. What she would provide would give a rising dictator optimal gain of the people. But could she honestly accept it and live with destroying innocent people's lives?

[BG INFO: In a world where animals do not exist, animal SPECIES are synonymous for a different human races, and where a Land is a certain biome to be ruled by a King. Basically instead of having animals, we have humans in their places. They are in no way furries or humanized animals - they are just human. For example: You would call someone who was chinese as chinese, but we would call a lion a lion.] Synopsis: About Kings who rule over different Lands.

@mundaneepitome: The Elephants and Donkeys (political symbols) Someone help me please? My Synopsis: A modern retelling of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", told out in novel form. Katie, a barefoot runaway, returns to her aunt's house after having disappeared off the face of the Earth for almost ten years, leaving her family with questions of where she has been. She answers with stories of love, betrayal, temptation, and a much needed escape. More specifically, Katie blinds her first love- a 20 yr old engineering student (Polyphemus), moves to Massachusetts, avoids the temptation of some hippies who offer her LSD (Lotus Eaters), goes off to a pricey prep school, encounters mean girls (Laestragonians), runs away from home, hitch-hikes to New York City, meets a boy, falls in love (Circe), is convinced by that boy to travel into the underworld of Manhattan, receives a warning from a fortune teller (Tiresias), falls out of love with that boy and sails the coast with some old prep-school friends, meets a new boy, falls in love (Calypso), thinks of marrying him- he even proposes- realizes she misses home and goes to her cousins house, unable to face her parents again, sells her shoes to pay for a bus ticket, and arrives home (Ithaca). My Excerpt: (Opening) It was a return to be frowned upon, with the past judgments made. It was a return with truths to be shared, although the truths would be told along with the lies so that everything and nothing can be told all at once. Lies to tell the truth, a noble paradox, I thought. I returned in the late fall, when frost spiked the dead leaves to sharp points. The leaves crunched beneath my leathery heels, which had long since turned black from a barefoot summer. I tread carefully through the icy dustland, past the dark houses of the cold neighborhood. I did not know where their residents were, though I could recall them, their expression, their mannerisms- all as though they were splashed across the window panes of each individual house. Although they would not concern me- they were memories, distant dreams of the past, nothing of the present or future. I had come with purpose, something outside of memories and houses.

How about Katies' Odyssey? Fail, I know but whatever... For me if it's a retelling of a story I feel the need to incorperate it into the title. Mines is a basic plot. Ryan is a French teacher and finds out that he's student it a prostitute. He starts to look after the student by allowing him to stay with him. He starts to fall for the student while he protects him. The police start to get involved and Ryan doesn't know what to do. He really wants to tell the police but knows that if he does he would get both of them murdered.

The Pimp & the Priest Man of a Thousand Faces -------------------- Medical science had made so many leaps and bounds that people were living well into their hundreds and then some. Four or five generations all using the same resources and living on the same land was putting a major strain on the economy. There wasn't enough money to go around, enough jobs or enough food and definitely not enough space to put it all. The economy weakened and then collapsed entirely. No one but a very small percentage of the world's population was spared from plunging into abject poverty. The governments were overwhelmed, trying to care for their poor. This is the world Tosh Brandt is born into. Scientific advancements have completely stalled, technology as we know it has come to an alarming halt. Those who have managed to hold onto a little of their wealth are in positions of power in the government, which has created a sort of bunker-type compound around the White House. The government is having trouble keeping up with the demand of the engorged population who can't afford the simplest things like milk or cheese or fruit. The food supply is dwindling with very little possibility to grow more in the polluted, over crowded environment. The government develops a secret campaign to thin the herd, so to speak. They begin by limiting food supplies to certain areas of the country, except that this backfires and those in those rural areas begin to flock to the cities and the promise of all they can eat. When that doesn't work, they strike in the dead of the night, taking whole families. Despite their best efforts, disappearances are widely talked about. But very few people understand what's going on. Those who do decide to fight back.

Hmm.. sounds interesting. Red Light District The Cortigiano Ce La Vie' Cortigiana Di Lume I was trying to make it all french sounding. :) I honestly have NO idea what to name mine yet.. This is the synopsis; Audrey is a young, independent work-a-holic who's life is extravagant in luxury but simplistic with routine. Sticking to an almost OCD like daily ritual, she dedicates every waking moment to being the best she can be at her job. She relish's in her selfishness, believing that having any relationships (whether friends of romantic) will work against her towards her goals of success. One morning though, she wakes up unable to get out of bed, as if there is some unnatural force working against her. She starts having weird dreams.. hearing weird voices, feeling generally exhausted though mentally sound.. As events start to unravel, Audrey must struggle with letting go of her perfectly happy life so she can start to take life-changing chances. A romance, a death, an unsettling secret and a a terrifying situation push Audrey farther from her past and closer towards a life she never knew how much she wanted.

How to Resist the Night The Shroud Extractions --- My book is about two people engaged to be married since they were 10 in a magical world where the gods have all but left humanity to their own devices. There are two competing types of magic, one rules the world as those who have this type of magic believe it was given to them by the gods. The other type can be used by anyone and they are deemed Pagans. Each magical type hates the other and as the two children grow up, they discover that they each possess the opposite type of magic. Over the years, they grow further and further apart until a war breaks out between the two factions with the children (now adults) leading the battle against each other.

Ugh, I'm terrible with titles. I'll try to come up with some better ones for you later. Holy War Two Sides of the Same Coin My horrible little synopsis: I have a teenage boy in Victorian England (ish, still playing around with how "real" I want the time frame to be.) by the name of Godfrey Blake (known as Spoons) and he's suffering from schizophrenia. This of course is not understood by the people around him. He is also telekinetic. His best friend was a circus sideshow attraction, but has left the circus to find something "meaningful" to go with his life. The friend is telepathic and is unable to talk in any other fashion. There is a sort of preacher in the country who is collecting psychics and making them live with him. I guess you could say he's the villian, but he believe strongly that he is doing God's work in guiding these people to a place where they can be with their own kind. This man will do anything to get the people he wants, from outright kidnapping to threatening your family. Several of the preacher's followers are unhappy in their situation, but either are afraid to leave, or have nowhere to go (he likes to get them as children and rename them). There are many other psychics in the story, and there seems to be a link between that and mental illnesses such as OCD and an array of personality disorders. Spoons (MC) eventually joins this group, and decides to help kick-start a little internal rebellion. There are many other characters, many with wants to overthrow the preacher, but all have something holding them back (a spouse that is happy with the way things are, debt owed to the preacher himself, ect.).

Then a freak snow storm in October throws her life into a year of unending turmoil when she saves her classmate, Vince, from dying after he crashes his car into a light pole. Suddenly everyone wants to be her friend. On top of that, after living in her sister's shadow all her life, her sister turns 18 and unexpectedly runs off. Her dad is sneaking around and worrying her mom. Sarah is forced to deal with everything head on and discover how to show the world who she really is, whether she likes it or not.

@amazon626 Some thoughts: - The Year of Living - Savior Sarah - Sarah the Hero ----- And for mine: I have called mine The Rose House, but I'm not entirely happy with that title. I'd love a better one! It's a horror/ supernatural story. My synopsis: James Keller just broke up with his wife of ten years. Now suddenly on his own, he didn't need a huge four-bedroom three-bathroom house. He needed a small place to live by himself. But somehow he couldn't resist. The house seduced him into buying it, and he fell for its charms like a cat to catnip. In his first week in the house he makes a startling discovery - inside the attic are boxes and boxes of journals, detailing the life of Amanda Snow, her husband Henry and, later, their son, and their lives inside the Rose House twenty years ago. Why these were left there, he could only guess, but James becomes entraced with the story of the Snow's time in the house. He sifts through the journals, researches and collates the information, putting together a complete narrative of everything that happened to Amanda and Henry Snow while living in the house, and what he finds will change his life - and the Snow's life - forever.

******When the world is introduced to a drug called "Reality" the process begins to convert the world’s population into the immortal beings they have always desired to be. Starting with the youth; those who react best to the new treatments, those who will represent the future of humanity. Children and Teenagers of all races and ages are chosen through a random lottery system, and those who are picked are administered with Reality, beginning a new life in the foundations of a society that they will create. When Syrin Xanderi was fifteen years old, scientists discovered this secret to immortality. When she was sixteen, she became one of the first to be administered the procedure. She willingly moves away from her "Classic" family, one of the many who are unwilling to accept the changes into a new society and a new world, to begin the transition into an immortal human. However, her first breathes of immortality are tainted with the darkening secrets and ideas that are beginning to develop around "Reality", ideas that are caused by her. Syrin becomes a major piece in a dangerous game as she discovers that the musings of her mind have become the foundations of the power to control the world, and also to destroy it. As people begin to implement her ideas of Reality being used to annihilate the "Classic’s" and let only the worthy survive, Syrin has to face off against the darkest mind of all in the new world, for the sake of humanity, and chose a side in the war she created. Herself.**** So anyway, here is a small deconstruction of that. I am sure that there are books about drugs that stop people from aging, and how it went wrong. But I though this plot would be interesting because it would be written from the perspective of Syrin, a girl who is not only the beginning of the 'how it all went wrong part' but she is also a poster girl for it. She is shocked at first at what she has done, but she starts to believe in it. Basically, this whole Dystopian world will also end up being run by the original kids who won the lottery and were given "Reality". Any good title suggestions???

@ MariannaBeavis -- Some thoughts I had include the obvious, the cliché and the boring: - Reality - To Live Forever - The Other Side - Immortal Darkness //// My plotline: My novel is about zombies. Okay, so yes, I know it's cliché, but I'm writing a novel that I'm going to dedicate to my friend, and I want her to like it, so the only logical way to go with it is zombies. Anyway, that's irrelevant. My MC is a zombie. His name is Jivan - name meaning is 'life'. One day, during a raid for humans, he meets a six-year-old boy named Peter. Jivan tears Peter's mother's throat out and, after realising that Peter is not strictly 'needed' for the hunting party to gain enough life-energy to sustain them all, decides to spare Peter's life. Of course, Peter follows Jivan home, after that, because Peter has nowhere else to go. All of the adults in Peter's life had just been eliminated, so he trailed the one that seemed to show any care for him at all. Jivan, with Peter's help, begins to realise that not all life is evil, and that even zombies can become better people. Title ideas~?

My PLOT There is a Gene that is found in people that allows them to do one of two things, Jump or Dash. Jumping is traveling through different reality bridges and, sometimes, being able to consciously pick which reality you go into, but not affect time. If you JUMP at 10AM in this reality, you’ll appear at 10AM in the next one, you cannot travel through your own world any faster or slower than anyone else, but you can leave it. Dashing is traveling through time in your own reality, going from 10AM to 10PM 5 years later in the blink of an eye, but you can never leave this reality. Both are controlled and monitored by the Clockwork Consortium, an organization with its hands, power, and money in more things than just Temporal Monitoring. It’s safe to say The Double C is corrupt, yet has a handle on time, a feat never thought possible. Until Nathan Crown comes along, a boy with the ability to both jump and dash through time and space. But with such power, uncontrollable power, comes great responsibility that causes Nathan to make some tough personal choices and leads him to things he never thought he’d have to discover.

Um... I've posted this two to three times now, and absolutely no one has commented. Is it alright if someone could help me out? Quellus lives on Lashlen Minor, a planet with one city. The city is overpopulated and very poor. Quellus believes she's fortunate because she has a house and a job. Later struggles with finances, keeping in mind that when you don't have a job, or when you can't pay taxes, you go to the Encloser. They say that putting people in the Encloser, a place with not enough food and absolutely no health care, helps the cities population. When Quellus' money runs dry she gets sent to the Encloser, and finds that her best friend, Felian, has just been sent there, too. She gets through the month getting more and more used to it's poor conditions. But Felian, however, is getting sicker. When Felian recently died Quellus has heard news that the cities 900 year depression has ended, and she gets released. She finds a well-paying job and a decent house, and lives the rest of her life for her friend. Again, this would help me so much!

Not a novel, but an issue of the comic I'm scripting. Delia Burton is sick of the corruption of her city, where people can't walk around safely. The last straw is when her husband is killed in a mugging. She decides to become a super hero, the first that's dedicated to one city. While she tells herself and her son that it's just until she catches her husband's killer, she can't help dealing with the crimes she finds as she tracks him down. Now, as the White Knight, she's being investigated by the police, but she just found her husband's ring in a pawn shop, so if she can elude them just long enough...

What about "The White Knight" or "Avengeance". Personally I like Avengeance (which is not really a word I don't believe) but she's avenging the innocent people while she's dealing with crimes she comes across, while still trying to get revenge on her husband's killer.

A few ideas; Shuttered Eyes Forgotten Life The Times That Were Remorse/Revenge Shooting Kills The Dying Room These might not make any sense, but I did what I could. Hope one of them catches your eye! Anyways, my synopsis: My novel is about a world in which there’s this war that’s been going on for half of forever, things on the home front are slowly slipping into darkness, and POWs are used as slave labor to replace all the young men off fighting. The MCs are one of these POWs and the farm family (a woman and her teenaged daughter) which he is assigned to. The husband and son of this family have both been killed in the war, so the old woman’s heart holds no love for this prisoner at first. But as the days wear on, and they realize that he is not just a murderous fiend, things change. The prisoner and the daughter find feelings for each other growing, and her mother finds herself softening to this foreign man after he displays great courage in defending their farm, and devotion to the daughter she once swore to protect from him at all costs. However, it remains to be seen whether these former enemies can be left to live in peace as the war rages on. You might also want to take a look at the excerpt, as it’s from the very beginning, and shows a lot of the symbols that weave throughout the story.

@Zenrax: Some ideas, "Prisoners of the Heart" "What Conquers All" "Defense Mechanisms" I'm having a tough time coming up with a title for my story..... It's a Literary Fiction. Also a retelling of the Odyssey. My Synopsis: Katie returns to Chase, Wisconsin after having been gone for nearly a decade. She returns barefoot and cold with an array of stories to tell. She tells of how she blinded her first crush, a twenty-year old engineering student. She tells of the hippies she found on the side of the road, who had been there for years and perhaps never will leave. She tells of her move to Marne, Massachusetts, where she finds that gossip can eat a person alive. She tells of how she runs away to Manhattan and falls for a boy named Leo. She tells of a sudden revelation in Manhattan involving a fortuneteller and dark secrets which cause her to leave the city. Immediately after, she meets a boy named Jimmy, they fall in love, though Katie can no longer bear the growing regrets of what she had left behind and returns to Wisconsin to be reunited with her family. It is a lot better than it sounds....

Long story short, I changed my plot idea for NaNo completely; exactly what you don't do. Anyways, I need help for a title and hope a fellow NaNoer could help me out with their wisdom and creativity! Up for the challenge? Andrew hopes to find his aging mother a good nursing home when he discovers Happy Time Nursing Home for Mental Health. Mistakenly thinking it as a nursing home for the elderly, Andrew takes a tour of the mental facility. Only soon afterward he finds himself kid-napped by a mental erratic patient named Calvin. After his release, Andrew's clothes get desperately stained with blue paint; including his hair. Calvin offers him some patient's clothing to swap out the stained. Now Andrew is in patients clothing, blue hair, and trying to open the front door of the facility. Inevitably, he gets stopped by two guards and pumped with a sedative. Now Andrew is thought to be just another patient in the Happy Time Nursing Home, as he is trying to convince someone that he is not a patient, but a visitor and is trying to get back home and care for his mother. But can anyone believe he's not crazy?

To coffeestain: How about you name your novel Calvin? Ok here's mine The story is about a set of triplets. They live in a world that's very similar to Halloween Town (from the Nightmare Before Christmas) and create dreams for us humans. Delka deals with good dreams, Natil deals with the surreal dreams, and Ravoltra deals with nightmares. In this world men and women are separated because of King Samhain, who wants and thinks he can only have total control over his people by dictating when and who they can associate with. (It's dubbed the Law of Indecency). Because of this, single men and women can only meet each other on Halloween. One Halloween in particular Ravoltra meets Jack, the jester for the king himself. She and Jack devise a plan in Ravoltra's Dreamworld to rebel against the law so they can see each other without fear of getting in trouble. In the meanwhile Delka is jealous about Ravoltra being the first to get a boyfriend and Natil is trying to keep them from fighting.

My story is a older young adult fantasy novel. It's about a group of shape-shifting teenagers. The catch is, in order to activate their shifting side, they need to kill someone. Some of the characters have no idea who they really are because the elder wolves outlawed the passing on of the knowledge and also forbid the newer generations to awaken. A few of them accidentally kill people and shift without having any idea what's going on, and other have been taught about shifting since an early age and have spent years planning their kill. At the same time, a half-blood who never manifested his shifting side (50% chance of becoming a shifter, 50% chance of just being human) is determined to eliminate all shape-shifters. He creates a order of other un-manifested half-bloods and humans who hunt down the shifters. So far, they have already eliminated all of the bears. The cats are next. The cats are trying to set aside the centuries of animosity between them and the wolves so that they can combine forces and destroy the hunters. The elder wolves don't want to hear about it because they are so wrapped up in their own power games and making certain that the new pack doesn't gain the strength to overthrow them, as they did to the elders before them. So the cats are forced to try and make an alliance with the young wolves. One interesting concept that I think could make a cool idea for a title: The shifters are balanced precariously between humanity and the wild. Sometimes, they "go wild" meaning they loose all contact with their humanity and live out the rest of their life as an animal. ...This synopsis doesn't really do the story justice, but hopefully you get the basic idea.

I need a title for my nano! It's set roughly 500-1000 years in a post-apocalyptic future where a group of scientists (nicknamed "the white coats") have created various mythological and terrible creatures using humans and animals in some attempt to create a "perfect species". The story is told from mainly from the view of 3 werewolves who have, with a pack of other werewolf expeirments, managed to escape the Green Lakes Biological Research Labratory where they were created. Some of the werewolves were created from humans, spliced together with DNA from wolves, but some were orginally wolves. Except for two mysterious sisters who were born in the lab from a perfect recombination of human/wolf DNA. The scientists are intent on bringing the sisters back to the lab as they are their greatest acheivment. And they will do anything to insure that this happens, including siccing hordes of zombie-like expeirments on the pack of werewolves. Hope some of this helps, i really would like a title! (lately just been using "My Little Rhino" because when I told my boyfriend about NanoWRIMO he thought I was saying "NanoRHINO" lol, just thought my other "Rhinos" would get a kick out of that too.)

Humanity barely survived the Veil Wars almost a decade ago, and soon their only advantage will be threatened - by a daredevil thief and one girl's freedom. What do you do when rescuing the faerie princess will result in the restart of the most devastating war in history? Politics, rebellion, and anarchy in Undertown. Pick a side or start a revolution.

The hotel bosses decide he would be great to have at another hotel that keeps people as slaves and pays them nothing except food and a bare minimum survival.

My terrible synopsis: Created before the latest version of Man, the angel Cassiel has obviously been around for a while. But as his time is running out, he decides: why not let the next generation learn from his mistakes? Such as encouraging rebellion in one of the Creator's favorites, thus launching the Great War of Heaven and all that. Oh, and the Fall of Lucifer and a score of his other heavenly buddies. Those kinds of things. This is his story.

Three women in a small town are contacted by a serial killer. They are informed that the killer will be preying on their town until one of them can stop them. Each has a tool that is supposed to help them solve the case: one a sherif with an overwhelming drive to prove herself, a strange outsider woman who lives on a decrepit farm with the gift of intuition and finally a seemingly useless mail-order-bride... until the other two realize that she is a killer herself. Reformed, of course. Can they find the killer before the town looses more residents then it can handle? thoughts?

@Ditzphrenic: I would agree with the above poster. Perhaps the name of your town? Mine: On October 17th, Molly Spencer buried her mother. On October 18th, her ex-boyfriend traded her soul for a chance with the school's hottest girl. On October 20th, she received a series of letters written by her mother before her death, containing two very important truths. One: her mother knew she was dying months before telling Molly. Two: there was a lot more to Victoria Elizabeth Anastasia Grace Spencer than her daughter ever realized. Accompanied by Death, a cat named Mrs. Briggs, and an abundance of strawberry ice cream (turns out Death has a major sweet tooth), Molly sets out on a cross-country journey to get her soul back and discover the woman she thought she knew.

When he is transported to the magical world of Migorn, where every man and child has access to incredible powers, and ancient secrets lay dormant under forgotten caves, he will think that he has found his chance to be happy, and to be a legendary Hero. He is the one Migorn has been waiting for, the prophet says. Sadly, he will soon learn that not everything is what it looks like. The prophets can lie. There are Stars watching over the night sky of Migorn, but these are not real stars. A rusting man made of metal and circuitry will make him doubt the very nature of the Earth. But he is still the same boy that he was in the city, even when he has changed the city for an Empire. Will he be able to cope with the challenges that await him?

Suggestions: The Choice Of A Hero The Stars of Migorn Migorn's Hero What Is Good and What Is Right. I'm sorry! That's all I could come up with! Good luck! It sounds awesome! Synopsis: People have long had a fascination with mythical beasts. Wondering what it would be like if dragons and fairies and unicorns really roamed free in the world today. Little girls dream of what it would be like to be swept off their feet by prince charming. Little boys dream of fighting dangerous beasts and being knighted by the king. Most people grow out of those dreams, or at least, they pretend to. Because why dream of something that could never happen? But when Derek Moore and his best friend spot a dragon in the air above Derek's ordinary, suburban neighborhood, they know something is up. They join forces with a group of strange friends... A girl who can't decide where her loyalties lie, a man who could kill Derek with one hand, three childhood friends separated long ago, a little girl with a tough name, and an almost giant with hardly a name at all. They soon discover that the world of dreams is slipping into reality through a door that has been opened by the hopes of a girl with big dreams, and a secret magical item passed down in the family. They discover the door, but have a tough decision to make. Which is better? A world that is ordinary and safe? Or a world filled with the dangerous but exciting dreams of a girl with a heart both young, and entirely too old? NOTE: It's meant to be a series, so like, I'm especially looking for titles like "Derek And The" or something. It doesn't matter :) THanks!

Okay, so here's my thoughts: World of Lasting Dreams The Fiction Wars (as a title for the whole series) Honest Fiction The Door of Creation Sorry if they're not very good. Here's mine: Feared by the country, infamous serial killer Shard was unstoppable for six long years. At least, until the day that a witch found him and put a curse upon him. Now, whenever he kills, he lives in the persons mind as they lay dying by his hand. Two years later, he seeks nothing but redemption. His abilities, brought on by his curse, lead him to a girl whose naieve ideals just might be enough to free him from the guilt of his past. But there are many who stand opposed to his happiness, including the witch whose actions reformed him. Will Shard be able to find a new life, or will he drown in the sins of his past?

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Psychotic-Pink — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:37:06 +0000

There's the obvious ones like Redemption, but I have a feeling you've already thought of that. You could make a play on the painful part of forgiveness and redemption, and call it 'Shards' (a play on his name) 'Shattered' or even call it something really simple like 'Hope'. As for my story, it's supposed to be lighthearted, but it's also about finding your direction, which is why it has the title it has now, 'Home' but I'm not entirely satisfied with it: Cynna thought her life couldn't get any worse when her best friend suddenly decided he wanted nothing to do with her. Because of a kiss. However, when he goes missing, the entire seaside village turns against her, despite the truth spell that told them she had nothing to do with his disappearance. In an effort to protect her, her mother sends her and her brothers to go live with an aunt that lives far away. Only, they have several interruptions along the way, involving an old fairy, an uncannily intelligent dog, and two noble women who seem to wish them nothing but harm...

This is the absolute worst part of writing! I have a hard time thinking of titles. My story is about a woman who lost her husband five years prior to the novels opening in a car accident. She's never fully recovered from losing him. A man moves in next door to her and they start to become friends, though there is a slight hint of feelings between them. After witnessing a car accident that starts triggering memories of her husband and their relationship, not knowing what memories to believe. She becomes paranoid of everything and everyone around her, feeling that everyone is out to get her. After being burglarized, she believes her new neighbor to have been the man in her house and the man who has been following her everywhere. Believing the police against her as well and that she has no one to turn to, not even herself, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Is this all real? Or is she slowly letting her paranoia take over?

Astara is a mechanic working for crime boss Xana in the dystopia of Techne, where only the rich can afford basic needs such as solid food and sunlight. As a child born beneath the Plate and the daughter of a 'Trickie', Astara is a rough and loudmouthed woman forced to repair and create augments for Xana, lest her fragile heart stop ticking. On her way home, Astara stumbles upon a fallen Black Rose, a legendary android built by Techne's dictator as an automaton assassin. She decides to repair the injured android and earn herself a ticket out of her life of slavery. That is, until Astara learns that the android is actually a cyborg with his memories erased, and he wants to become 'human' again.

The MCs are made up but what they live through is all in the Middle Earth timeline. They are and Elf woman and Elf man. They fall in love. But in the War of the Last Alliance ( where Sauron is killed and the ring is first taken), the Elf woman is killed but tells him to keep living. He lives on and goes through other adventures (he trains Aragorn in sword fighting, witnessed the first hobbits settling, and helped fight during the War of the Ring). In the end he continues his wanderings and visits Aragorn when he is king of Gondor. He then sails to the Undying lands with Legolas and Gimli after the death of Aragorn. The last part is where he meets the Elf woman he loves on the shores of the Undying lands. Its all written in verse form, kind of like the songs and stories the elves have.

The police in Elizabeth's small town are too incompetent to find her murderer so Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. Elizabeth always thought Camille had no enemies but that proved false. Now, Elizabeth has to interview students without them figuring out what she's doing. P.S. Elizabeth is a psychic but not in the traditional sense. She can read memories from objects. P.P.S. My current title is Disappointment which is connected to the murderer's motive.

Here's my synopsis; I already have a title, but I'm open to ideas to change it. I like the "Anita Allen &" motif, since it might be a series, but it's kind of feeling flat otherwise. On December 1, 1925, Anita Allen loses $25.00 and her soul in a card game with the Devil. In a matter of days, her life is turned upside down. As a working girl, she's still balancing her secretarial job and awful apartment problems with the evenings full of jazz and illegal alcohol with her mobster heir beau; after the lights go out in the speakeasy, an odd man named Don drags her around Chicago, teaching her how to become a Reaper, taking the souls of the unlawfully living to keep the balance between the afterlife and the living world in equilibrium. But learning to shoot a gun and run across icy rooftops are the least of Anita's concerns: Her first target is the alderman of Ward 6, a corrupt politician with close ties to the organized crime heads of the city. Through a series of failed attempts on the alderman's life (and more than a few close calls with her own), she starts becoming more familiar with her powers and learns about a fatal conspiracy against her beau's father and the Rinella Family as a whole. Forbidden to interfere with the mob war that's about to break out in Chicago, Anita has to find a way around the silence her new master has imposed upon her- Or risk losing the people she loves to a massacre she can't possibly prevent on her own.

Sometimes working with a title that matches the book itself but also the series works too....such as Monings "Dreamfever", "Bloodfever", "Faefever", "Darkfever", and "Shadowfever"...(they are not in order lol) But her series was one long story that could have been one book...but it would have been too big for someone to carry around....if i am reading your story correctly, if there is a series, then it will be all of Anita's adventures being a Reeper....so maybe something to look at is a series title and then each book has its own title according to the adventure...who knows...maybe it will all come out in sequence in the end lol You could probably do something with the word "soul"...."Soul Keeper" "Soul Reeper" "...of the Soul" "Soul Changer"...and so on Just some thoughts :D

I've been calling my novel "In Time of Crisis", but I don't like that title, so I'm looking for a new one. Any ideas? There is Ned, and there is Cain. They are vampire hunters, fearless killers of those who fear no man. They are skilled, they are deadly, they are willing to do anything and everything to protect humanity from the vicious appetites of the night-suckers -- including give up their lives. There is Andrea: Cain's young and beautiful wife, who more than anything wants a baby of her own, even though she knows how dangerous it would be to raise a child under the shadow of her husband's work. She's constantly terrified for Cain's safety, but can't do anything to help him as she longs to do -- or can she? There is Bram: a boy whose family were murdered by the vampires, who has been forced to flee the only home he's ever known. Alone, he tried his hardest to be brave, but there's only so much a boy of nine can do -- and the vampires might be coming for him next. There is Miles Blandy, a mystery. He is both a kindly, innocent, well-meaning neighbor; and an unwary bystander who found himself ensnared in the bloody world of vampires and hunters, who will do anything to get himself out alive -- even if it means sacrificing others in his way. These five find their stories suddenly tangled up with one another's, and a web is being woven that will bring them all together for the last, bloody revelation, where friends turn into enemies and alliances are forged in the unlikeliest of places. Suddenly it is no longer a question of human versus vampire, but rather of brother against brother, and their most deeply held beliefs and sacred truths are called into question. Who, if anyone, will survive the time of crisis?

Alright, my novel is a romance-mystery. Susan Michales (Susie): a 5-year-old girl whom tragedy strikes when her mom and dad are killed in an accident. She has no immediate family except for a drunk and insane grandfather, who insists on getting custody (despite Susan's parents best efforts to keep the two separated). Susan Queensly is a policeman, and the best of her department. She's a no-nonsence top quality crime fighter, but has no husband or boyfriend, so she finds herself lonely a lot. When she meets little Susie she is touched by her story and is determined to find out what really happened to her parents. Garrett Ross: A Scottish-accented social worker who at first tries to transfer custody of Susie Michaels to her grandfather, against Queensly's wishes. Eventually he comes to join forces with them. He's a bit flirtatious at times and tries this on a few occasions with Queensly. Alrighty, any title suggestions anyone? I've been calling it "For the Love of Susan" for right now.

My summary: Zoey lives in a city just like yours. It's crowded and noisy and absolutely freezing in the winter, but it's home. She shares an apartment with her friend, Poppy and works as a tour guide at a small business that operates out of the train station with their friends Caroline and Leo and Poppy's brother Jackson. All in all, she has a fairly normal life. Except that she can't remember the past two years of it. Zoey had an accident one year and eleven months ago that gave her anterograde amnesia, wiping her memory of the day's events every twenty-four hours. On top of that, the city that she's living in is actually a magical sanctuary for refugees from the bloody supernatural war going on outside the city's borders. It's also a neutral ground for negotiation between the two sides. Enter the city and become human. Remain there for longer than twenty-four hours and lose all memory of having been anything but. As Zoey and her friends investigate the city's roots, they discover that they are all involved in a specific course of history that the world is being forced to take. Someone is pulling the strings of fate, giving them all impossible abilities and ways to avoid the city's memory-wiping effect and throwing them together in the Null City. Zoey can see what a person truly is, regardless of the effects of the city. Poppy is the city's anchor, the source of the field that turns anything magic within its borders completely mundane. Leo is the connector, a guy-who-knows-a-guy taken to improbable extremes. Jackson is exceptionally lucky, always somehow putting himself in the best possible situation. Caroline has a gift for forgettability, able to slip off your radar as easily as slipping out of a jacket. The five friends must discover who is pulling the strings of history and what they are being led towards before their fragile sanctuary is overrun.

"Zoey Remembering." I like ambiguous titles. :p Here's mine: Without spoilers: "Helen Watkins is in trouble. Not long after being deployed to France to do her part for the war effort, she is kidnapped and transported behind enemy lines. When Hauptsturmführer Nikolaus Fuchs takes her under his wing and into his home for "re-education," everything Helen thinks she knows about the Nazis and about the war begins to change." Spoilers here: This takes place in the winter of 1944 until the end of World War II. It is revealed that MMC was a guard in Dachau and it is implied that he suffers from PTSD as a result of what he was made to do there, causing him to have a problem with alcohol abuse and to lash out at FMC violently. FMC becomes pregnant toward the end and a hasty wedding is organized just before things really start to go south for the Nazis. MMC is killed in an air raid, and FMC is executed after being arrested on suspicion of treason.

@Mollyyymo "Truth and Lies" or "Separating Truth from Lies." "Between the Lines" Sorry that is all I can think of. >< ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fifteen year old Taylor Glidden is awkward, has no friends, and is incredibly forgetful. One day Taylor finds out that his frustrating memory problems stem back to when he was eight years old and he witnessed his best friends entire family be executed while playing at their house. In an effort to protect the magical and arcane world they were apart of, Taylor's memory, was forcibly suppressed. Someone found out there is a living witness to the murders so Taylor is yanked away from everything he knows to be placed in a school for young students of magic and arcane, where he is now an even bigger outcast then before. To make matters worse he being forced to go through a series of traumatizing treatments to remember everything he has forgotten. To help him along the way, Taylor befriends his twenty year old mentor, Colin- a gentle, big brotherly athlete, Aspen- a fifteen year old flirty and punk-ish succubus, and her studious, no-nonsense girlfriend Rory, all while trying to protect themselves from the increasing violence between the magical council of Senzca and two extremist groups.

Brotherly Athletes and Bonding A Once Living Witness (may imply the wrong thing) School for magical students Once Socially Awkward Dark Secrets Awoken All I can think of at the moment ~ Here's mine... Flashback He couldn’t breathe. He felt the hands gripping at his chest that dragged him away. He wanted to scream for his father, but felt like he couldn’t. He was fourteen, after all, he could take this. He knew he could because his father told him he could. At least, he hoped he could take this, because his father was the one putting him through this. “I said don’t move, for crying out loud. What are you, two? Learn to listen to me. This isn’t a Cinderella life anyone!” Jason remembered mildly wondering who had said that, but then chose to ignore it as he was roughly shoved into the back of the truck. The ride was damp, smelly, sweaty, and cold. Steven mildly wondered how he could be sweaty and cold at the same time and hoped he didn’t have that condition where people froze to death, but then chose to ignore it. They’d just paid money for him, right? They wouldn’t let him die. Or at least, so Steven hoped. Then again, he wasn’t sure whether it would be better or not. Men had paid money for him, that couldn’t be good, could it? End flashback Steven groaned, trying not to think about that as he tossed on the bed in his sub-consciousness. Although his mind was awake and active, he wasn’t. The teenager kicked and stirred in his bed once more before he subconsciously heard the door open. Knowing that was a sign to wake up, he blinked awake hastily. “Sorry. I-I’m sorry!” he said, his eyes flying open automatically. “Whoa, dude, easy, chill,” the other teen said, and Steven breathed a sigh of relief. It was just Derik. Derik was his only friend there at the hotel and probably had been his only friend, ever. “It’s just me.” “Why are you up so early?” Steven asked, glancing blearily at the alarm clock both boys lived by. The time showed 1:51 A.M. He didn’t fail to notice the solid bruise on Derik’s face, nor the forlorn look his friend had. He may not have studied to be a psychologist, but he knew all about nonverbal language. His father had used it all of the time, right up to when he’d sold Steven off into slavery for what in Steven’s mind had amounted to beer money. Derik didn’t answer but instead made his way into the bathroom both boys shared. Steven’s concern immediately grew. That wasn’t good. Although Derik had been shy, he usually wasn’t this shy. “Hey, Derik?” Steven asked, moving over towards the bathroom. He yawned. He wasn’t used to getting up at 1:51 A.M. Although technically it was now 1:52 AM, he noticed. Derik came out of the bathroom, looking like he felt a little bit better. “Derik, let me know what happened,” Steven ordered, using his ‘take-charge’ tone.

Two people who were meant to be together entered the world, born under a full moon. Two people from two different worlds - a baby girl born to immigrant farm workers in Texas, and a baby boy born to a middle class family in New York. Luna Marie Equiano and Marcus James Scott couldn’t have been more different, yet they were meant to be together. Call it fate, call it destiny, call it kismet – call if whatever you want.

Taking her hostage the two spend several years hiding out in a shack deep in the woods.

And it only gets stronger the longer they are together.

The first thing that came to mind was On the Run. Mine - Elise is an ordinary girl until she falls through her great-aunt's mirror and ends up in (ok,ok, I haven't named it yet). When she wakes, she recalls being pulled and looks through her mirror's twin to see someone else sleeping in her bed. Accompanied by a talking bird and mouse, Elise must find a way to get home. Celia is one of the most hated people in all of (god, I really need a name), so when she finds the fabled mirror, she hopes it might be her way out. Tricking Elise to open the mirror was easy. Figuring out how to survive in her new world, wasn't. Alone, Celia must find a way to survive or find a way back home. This is their stories.

I would say Mirror, Mirror, but I believe that's already taken. The Substituted would be an idea, or Flipside. You could even make a pun on Alice in Wonderland and call it, 'Through the Mirror'. As for my story, it's supposed to be lighthearted, but it's also about finding your direction, which is why it has the title it has now, 'Home' but I'm not entirely satisfied with it: Cynna thought her life couldn't get any worse when her best friend suddenly decided he wanted nothing to do with her. Because of a kiss. However, when he goes missing, the entire seaside village turns against her, despite the truth spell that told them she had nothing to do with his disappearance. In an effort to protect her, her mother sends her and her brothers to go live with an aunt that lives far away. Only, they have several interruptions along the way, involving an old fairy, an uncannily intelligent dog, and two noble women who seem to wish them nothing but harm...

You could do: Missing Because Of A Kiss Nothing To Do With My Kiss Seaside Turning Against Me Any of these help? Here's my expert: He knew that when it boiled down to it, if he didn’t make a move, he would end up dying here. Just like his friend Jeff had. Another thought that Steven was currently trying to push out of his mind. If there was one thing Steven Jacobson didn’t want, he didn’t want to be a statistic. Swallowing hard, Steven finished the last cleaning in the room and made his way down to his own room, where he and Derik were allowed to go when they were done for the day. Derik wasn’t back yet, and Steven sighed as he closed the door. He sincerely hoped that there was never a fire there, because this place would go up in smoke. There was a very small exit through the window that Derik and Steven could use, but using it would set off an alarm for the bad guys. Derik had tried it within his first three days there and had been punished for it. Neither boy had been brave enough to try it since then, especially since they knew they’d have to be able to run a marathon to escape the men in time. Collapsing on the bed sounded delightful, but Steven wanted to take a shower. He felt gross. Checking the time on the alarm clock, he sighed. He had two hours until dinner – a rare minute of free time was a luxury generally not allowed in human trafficking. He decided to shower. Moving into the bathroom, he risked a brisk look in the mirror. Assuming that someone remembered him from the time he was thirteen, they wouldn’t remember him now. He looked totally different. At thirteen, he’d had some muscle, jet black hair, and had a smile constantly plastered on his face as he liked annoying people by staying positive. Now, he had blond hair, more muscles than he had at thirteen, and his face was usually masked in an ‘I’m thinking now, don’t bother me’ change. There were also many scars that dotted his back – scars that were so many anymore, Steven couldn’t remember where they came from. He stripped off the rest of his clothes and stepped in the shower, allowing the hot water to cover his back and attempt to wash the pain from the day away.

Now they are strangers, waiting for the other to start the conversation. One night, Callie gives in and calls Mark after a bad experience with a guy and a party. He comes right away and finds her stumbling home at 3am. She gets in his car and he drives her home. Callie starts to explain how sorry she is, and then the car slips on the ice down a hill and is hit by a truck also coming down the hill. Callie survives the accident with very few injuries. Mark, on the other hand, is killed leaving Callie with nothing but his confusing last words and a box full of letters that don't make sense.

I like Last Words. It depends on what you want to do with the rest of the novel. Maybe Secrets, or something like that? (I'm sorry, I'm really bad at this.) Here is my synopsis: An amnesiac wakes up from a coma after being badly burned in a fire. Meanwhile, her consciousness (the person/thing that controlls a person and gives them their personality) has gotten lost while wandering too far in her mind (the reason she has amnesia). Partly told as the actions of the main character, and partly told as the thoughts and actons of the consciousness that controlls her as they jointly search for who they are. Carefully. As everyone knows, people's minds can be scary places..... (Also, there are a lot of nerdy references: portal, Pokemon, The Game, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, etc.)

Oh, should I have posted my synopsis? Oops :) A threatening message on a wall at the mayor of London's manor. A golden goblet, gone missing from its hiding place. A book of ancient legends. They all lead to the same place, the home of a historian named Montague, who has also disappeared, taking a terrible secret with him... The identity of a murderer. Royal Guard Bramley Chapel, Librarian-turned-sleuth Wing Tigris and policewoman Iris Jones are brought together to solve the mystery and recover the goblet, but they quickly uncover a plot that stretches back centuries and someone wants the secret kept silent. With an ancient curse coming to fruition, a monster stalking the streets of London and a sinister organisation determined to prevent anyone from discovering the truth, will our heroes solve the mystery before Midsummer's Night, or is it already too late?

Sorry I've been posting a lot... I just need a title before December, can't you relate? Anyways, my story is coming along, and I had a title suggested to me: "Spark of Madness". I thought it was fitting, but soon it got a bit bland, and others didn't like it all to much. Do you have any ideas? Here's the Synopsis: Andrew Simons hopes to find his aging mother a good nursing home when he discovers Happy Time Nursing Home for Mental Health. Mistakenly thinking it as a nursing home for the elderly, Andrew takes a tour of the mental facility. Only soon afterward he finds himself kid-napped by a mental erratic patient named Calvin. After his release, Andrew's clothes get desperately stained with blue paint; including his hair. Calvin offers him some patient's clothing to swap out the stained. Now Andrew is in patients clothing, blue hair, and trying to open the front door of the facility. Inevitably, he gets stopped by two guards and pumped with a sedative. Now Andrew is thought to be just another patient in the Happy Time Nursing Home. But he is trying to convince someone that he is not a patient, and is struggling to get back home and care for his mother. But can anyone believe he's not crazy?

Hey, Kittypetro, your novel sounds pretty interesting. You might be able to shorten it a little, though, and say something about how your characters went from living on the streets to one dead, one hunting for revenge. Definitely sounds like you have a cool plot, though, and I would pick it up to read it, if I saw it at a bookstore. Good luck this November. :)

Detlas is an Inventor who hasn't been getting the press he deserves. So when Mynus - a bajillionaire who lives on his own private Isle of Kreet - sends a request for Detlas' services, the Inventor is understandably excited. A problem arises, however, when he has to decide what to do with his son, Ekaris. Ekaris is mute, sixteen, and a stay-at-home mental patient whose primary caregiver has been his mother until recently. But with the death of Ekaris' mother, and the hasty summons, Detlas decides to take his problematic son along with him to Kreet. Things complicate further when Ekaris runs off. Detlas has to balance solving Mynus' problem of childlessness with trying to find his wayward son. And when Ekaris finally allows himself to be found, he brings with him divine punishment. Based on the Greek myth of Pasiphae and the Bull, "Ekaris" is a futuristic take on the lead up to a legend.

Forrest 'falls in love' from afar with Aryls Simpsons, a spontaneous undaignosed bipolar, and begins to know the people closest to her, of whom are the beautiful Ruby Shunpike and irrepressible Ezra Pasternakeravitch. As Forrest gets closer to Aryls he discovers that nobody really knows her, and decides that he should persue her. Meanwhile, Ruby becomes frustrated at Forrest's indifference towards anything un-Aryls. Ezra continues as he always had. Often talking of fleeing to France at a moments notice, nobody seems to care when Aryls bikes home one night, panicked, in a deep depression. Until she is declared dead, killed in a traffic collision. Forrest's obsession grows, he is desperate to find out who the real Aryls was. Ruby drifts apart from Forrest because of this, finds herself very alone and does not notice Ezra's cries for help, because she never looks at him twice. Forrest 'finds' the real Aryls through the people she knows, asking them all when her favourite time of day was, what she liked to watch, and the most important, what was her favourite song? It's the only was he can grieve, to find out who he's grieving for. He goes to his favourite spot, Blind Man's Corner, where Aryls had died. Ezra isn't smiling, or laughing for the first time since he had found out. He explains that he heard 'her song', New Slang. With Forrest's completed list they find themselves able to move on.

@ThirteenthWind: Your idea sounds REALLY cool. I love retold myths. I'm thinking maybe something with the word "sons" or "children" in it since it seems like multiple characters have issues with children/childlessness? Sons and Creatures or something. Or maybe The Boy and the Bull. Feathers and Hide. (for Ekaris and the minotaur) Or, since it's a lead-in to the labyrinth myth, The Walls of the Labyrinth. or Building the Labyrinth. Or just Ekaris. or The Flight of Ekaris. Sorry, I kinda suck at titles...which is why I'm posting on this forum in the first place. :P I hope those at least give you some ideas to start with. Mine is a novel about a desert kingdom sort of like the Persian Empire but a little more modern where all the people are nocturnal. The main religion is the worship of the stars; a small, un-influential cult worships the Lady (the moon) instead. The story is about a girl who wants to get revenge on her uncle for killing her brother, a priest who has studied the stars for so long he's forgotten what it feels like to be in awe of them, and a poet who appears carefree but is carrying a lot of pain inside. It's not at all a happy book. I'd welcome any title inspiration as I'm horrible at coming up with these things for myself!

I have the title 'Below' right now, but it doesn't really fit the story. So I've got mutants that have been captured and sent below the ground to their demise. They have to work as slaves pretty much. But a small group of four mutants (Kristen, Lea, Ben, and Nick) escape. They meet one of 'their kind' who is after slaves for himself. He has a desire to capture Lea, so they must run (with their new friend Raevin) from this unexpected antagonist as they fight frazzled nerves, broken old friendships, new friendships, flashbacks, and, of course, insanity. Pretty much it. Below worked for my old plotline, but I twisted it a bit.

I'd help someone else with a title, but I'm really, really horrible at titles, thus the reason I'm on this thread. The problem with my novel is it's just a basic 'adventure' plotline. There's no... thread, really. No macguffin. It's just 'two teens thrust into another fantastical world and life and maybe a chaos goddess who's being punished force them into fighting the main villain'. At some point revenge may become a reason, but so far it's been mostly genre-savviness. And therefore it's nearly impossible to make up a good title for. There's more info and an excerpt on my profile. Help, please?

@EA_Alvarez: Maybe something like "Blood and Honor?" Something that highlights the two possible futures your MC can create. My novel is about a teenage girl who is the only child of a mafia kingpin. She is struggling to be accepted by her father and wants to be named his heir, but her gender is keeping her out despite the fact that she has proven many times that she would be perfect to follow him. Her father is very focused on honor and tranquility and rejects violence, but the thing he truly holds dearest is loyalty - specifically omerta, the mafia law of silence. (That is, never reveal secrets you know about the business.) I really want to call my novel Omerta because of the emphasis on loyalty and honor, especially because the climax of the novel will be a scene where the girl is tortured for information, but keeps her silence to maintain her loyalty to her father. The problem is, of course, that Omerta has already been used for a novel by Mario Puzo (the author of The Godfather, in case somebody didn't know), so I don't want to use that. Any ideas?

I really need ideas... My novel is less plot-based, and more a series of anecdotes abouts my characters lives. I don't have one main character, but rather several characters I keep switching between. It's set in a fictional conservatoire (music college), and follows the lives of a group of students over (what is likely to be) one year. My main characters so far are: Georgie (a third year violist, bit of a tomboy, clumsy, in a string quartet which she hates, which she's basically just started a mutiny against), Samantha (third year soprano, flirty, nice, elegant) and Dominic (a third year tenor, very good-looking but really down-to-Earth, gets on well with almost everyone). Some of the main events include their auditions and subsequent production of The Marriage of Figaro, Samantha and Dominic getting together, Georgie entering a famous viola concerto competition etc. etc. but in general, it basically just follows their friendships and life as music students. It's quite light-hearted on the whole. Sorry that's a bit vague! But please help me!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

B. C. Powers — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:34:00 +0000

You could just call it the name of the conservatoire, or maybe "Tales of (College Name)" or "The Students of (College Name)", since the place is what ties it all together.

@ B.C.

I'll have a week think :) I've also just had the idea that I could use a performance direction for the title that links to the themes of the novel - maybe "Amabile" (friendly/pleasant) or "Con Brio" (with spirit/vigour). I'll have wee toy with various titles.

I'm getting sick of my novel's title... It's about a group of Central Powers soldiers in WWI, three Germans, a Germanized Hungarian and a Slovak. Mattias, my point of view character is occasionally troubled by episodes of complete loss of memory, lasting for just a few minutes, but long enough that it might get him killed eventually. Nikolaus, the oldest of the group at just under thirty, doesn't really care if he survives the war or not because his family died in a rail accident years ago, even though he still refers to them in the present tense. Jozsef, from an upper-middle class family and slightly ill-at-ease with his brothers in arms, is constantly on the lookout for anything he can buy to make life on the front a little more bearable. Béla is the witty commentator of the group in two languages and he has a terrible, onesided crush on Juraj. Juraj has attached himself to this little group despite a very large language barrier. He knows just enough German to get by and a lot of what is said by the group goes over his head, but he gets alone with them anyway. The title I started with was 827 Miles From Home, which is how far away Juraj is from his birthplace when he dies. Oh yes, and I'm planning to have everyone but Mattias die... Help, anyone?

Maybe having a title might help me jump to make some progress. I'm doing a reimagining of our world, bringing more of a fantasy twist to things. Magic has resurged in the world and maybe existed for about 200 years or so, leading to a stronger age of medicine, technology and science. As the story starts the balance in the world is shifting as new magics are being discovered and used, leading to more of a darker time set. Now the gods of the world are going to start to pay more attention and look to certain mortals, giving rise to modern paladins and clerics. I'm probably going to focus on a few of the Norse deities for now and see where it all ends up.

I'm fairly confident about the title of my work (Werewolf Tale), but just for extra opinions, here's my current synopsis... Days after finding the victim of a werewolf attack, Alex Stryker becomes the next to be attacked while skating late at night. Under what he believes is his own power, he fights the beast off and retreats, returning home only to find that by letting him escape the werewolf has passed its condition on to him. As his lycanthropy manifests over the days leading to the first full moon, Alex realizes that he has no mentor to consult about his situation, meaning everything that is coming he has to learn about on his own. Unwilling to put his friends and family at risk by revealing the truth to them and asking for help, he decides to carry this out in secret. With a new job in retail, his social hobby as a skateboarder, and his growing concern for the safety of those closest to him, both because of his situation and the second werewolf, he has his work cut out for him. (I did make a reply for someone's title maybe 40 pages ago, but if someone replied to that, I can't find it.)

Posting my synopsis here, JIC: It's long after the Battle of Naboo, and from the shadows, Darth Sidious plots revenge -- sending his new apprentice, Darth Vader, into battle in order to test his skills against the Jedi. Meanwhile, Viceroy Nute Gunray, still angered by his defeat at Naboo by Queen Sabe and the Jedi, is forced to ally himself with the Confederation (and once again Sidious) in order to survive. In the meanwhile, fledgling Jedi Padme Naberrie is sent to the planet of Kamino to investigate the attempted murder of Queen Sabe, whilst Jedi Knight and new Master to Padme Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to guard the Queen at Naboo. But as a romance buds between Obi-Wan and Sabe...can they resist their feelings? Or will they go down a path that will most certainly destroy them? For Lord Sidious has plans within plans...and things are not always as they appear.

I have a title, but I want to see what you guys come up with! Prudence was born and raised in the Experiment, a walled-in town where men are banned. Men are not allowed within the walls, they cannot appear on television, even books written by men are prohibited. The women procreate via in vitro fertilization, where careful testing is done to ensure that only female babies are born. Four months after nineteen-year-old Prudence gets pregnant, she is exiled from the Experiment without so much as an explanation. While wandering hopelessly in the woods, she stumbles upon a camp of nomads led by a man named Davender. Prudence joins their camp and becomes a part of their family in hopes of finding a future for her unborn daughter. It turns out that her daughter is a son, and he's Davender's, and there's a lot more plot twist and whatnot in there. What do you guys think? (:

I'm currently calling my book 'Chaos to Order' simply because I have nothing else to call it but I hate the name... The world is pretty much the same as ours except that it has super heroes/villains, and supernatural beings (who keep a low profile for the most part), but everyone (including the current super heroes) are severely corrupt. So the male main character (15 year old) wants to correct the wrongs that are being committed and, while being goaded on by a chaos demon for reasons the demon wont reveal, becomes a super hero to try and actually help people unlike the current supers and eventually gets the female main character (his twin sister) to help him. If they don't correct the balance between chaos and order soon, then their whole world will destroy itself. There are angels and demons in the story, but they aren't the Christian ones (though they kind of look like them) and are formed from intense emotions and follow the alignment chart (chaotic evil, chaotic neutral, chaotic good, lawful evil, lawful neutral, lawful good, ect.). Example: Succubus is formed from intense lust

@chrissy A Man Named Davender (Idk, that might seem cheasy, but it stuck out to me. He's a he! Ah! Haha.) She Is (Like, like the Fray song? Okay, nm...) Experimental Error (I learned about it in science today, and it seems to fit :D ) Lyan knew the consequences of disobeying Duis: his father would die. His mother had fatefully traded him for his father as an infant. So far, he had always obeyed Duis, even to the point of killing his own kind, elves, for him, but Lyan refused to from now on. He promised himself he would find a way out of this thrice accursed contract, whether it killed his father or not. Meeting Ancora was the first thing good that happened to him. He could trust her and confide in her. Maybe he even loved her. But now she had disappeared and Lyan had to find her. He had to save her without giving himself back to Duis. Could it even be done? Some accidental themes are 'tears' (everyone keeps crying! Sheesh!) and 'Duis is coming. Duis is here.' I don't know if that helps, but whatever. I have a title of Blood Shed, thus the shedding of the blood. Not like killing, but like getting rid of.

Endeavor at Revival Restoring (world name)? The World's Salvation Out of Flames I need a title. . . Thirty year old Ben Walker has reached a point of nostalgia in his life and decides to go back to his hometown of East Brackton. Here he catches up with an old buddy and recalls past chidhood memories of the 1950s. A simple story that not only conveys such an innocent time in life, but also depicts the ups and downs that everyone faces, from happiness to tragedies. There's memories everywhere from pranks as a kid, meeting and falling in love with his wife when they were teenagers, and also a tragedy with one of his closest friends, who gets into a rumble with another rival group of kids (he almost kills them, but comes to reality and doesn't, but is then killed by them by complete surprise) It's really just a story about life and all. My friend suggested the idea of using "Stairways" and such about life, but I don't really know how to go about with that. Just need a title that can sum up the ups and downs of life? Any ideas?

I need help~ So my story is about two childhood friends who gave each other a remembrance on the last day of the guy friend on the country since his family is moving to another country. After saying good bye to her guy friend, she crossed the road and a truck hit her. She survived but she got an amnesia. Nine years later, the guy friend went back to the country and went to the school where the girl friend is studying. They do not know each other because the girl friend's mom took the pendant that the guy friend gave to the girl friend since the mom hates the family of the guy and because the girl has amnesia so she doesnt remember anything about her past. The guy still have the bracelet that the girl gave and he always wears it so the girl friend can remember him. The girl cannot wear the pendant because like I said earlier, the girl's mom took the pendant and she cannot remember anything about it so she cannot take it from her mom.

First thing that came to mind was the Latin phrase Ordo ab Chao, which is basically your title, "Order from Chaos". However after looking it up, a different phrase would be "De Chao Ordo" which means From Chaos, Order. it's slightly different because From Chaos, Order means order simply emerging from chaos, but Order From Chaos implies that to create order, you first need to create chaos. It depends on your story. Plus, if I'm correct, Ordo ab Chao (Order From Chaos) is a common phrase in Freemasonry. Just to put out the idea of conspiracy theories out there - no offense to any Freemasons out there.

I have a title for now, but am not sure I'm going to keep it. Here's my synopsis 14 year old Skylar, living in the time period of 2943 has gone through a lot in her life. She has come face to face with the spine-tingling twenty-oh-one gang, lost her dad, and dealt with a friend addicted to drugs. Just when Skylar thought things couldn't get worse, the gang takes her brother. Skylar starts to receive telepathic messages from him, claiming it's her job to save him, and in a years time. She decided to listen, and takes the trip, alongside her mother and best-friend. Everything seems to be going okay, but the only thing Skylar doesn't know, is everything. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I really like Stairways. I also really like the suggestion of a catchphrase of one of your characters becoming the title but I don't know if there are any in your story...? but what about something like "Life Lessons" "No Regrets" or "Regrets" "The Way We Were" "Falling Up" I don't know if they played the game back then but what about the game "Never Have I Ever" as a title "Forgotten Words" "Forget Me Not" or "Promise You Won't Forget" "And the World Turned" "And So It Goes" I don't know if any of those work or spark an idea that will work! Good luck!

@carlymitchell Blue-Sky Thinking (playing off the phrase, and Skylar's name) The Sound of Silence (got a Simon and Garfunkel thing going, eh?) In a Year's Time your title seems fine, but hope these help. When Remi wakes up, the world is falling apart. It fell apart centuries ago, and now all that's left is robots, rusty booby traps, and billions of sleeping people. And they won't wake up. It's her against the world, but there's one small problem. There isn't a world anymore. (that's the one on my profile, but i'll go a little more into depth here) She travels the world, looking for a way to wake the people, looking for answers. Instead she finds Cass. Remi agree on a mission - they'll find out what happened to the world, no matter the cost. Cass, she's resourceful, smart, creative. Remi's fast, she's strong, and she knows how to get rid of the robots. The dynamic duo. But it's not as easy as they think. No, it's not easy at all.

So I could use some help. I have a title at the moment, I'm just not sure that it is the right title. Aiden Anne Mckenna is a young women with a troubled past struggling to find her way in a life that has not always been easy to her. Just trying to make it from one day to the next, she does what she has to to survive. After finally getting to a reasonably steady place in her life, unexplainable things begin to happen and Aiden’s life is thrown into chaos once again. First with the appearance of her new strange powers and then with the arrival of a group of people who had similar powers to her own. They try to convince Aiden that it is her destiny to join them in a foretold fight against a force called the “Darkness”. If life had taught her anything, it had been to be extremely wary of everyone and everything. She did not know what to think about this new group of people she found herself in the company of and when she finally found herself face to face with this “Darkness” they spoke of, she was even less sure where to put her trust. Suddenly Aiden finds herself with a choice. That is the summary I have on my profile. A lot of my story is going to be playing with the shades of grey in human nature. My main character especially is going to struggle with her "dark" and "light" sides. So I'm just not sure if my current title, She Dances With Darkness is just too literal. Anybody have any suggestions?

A Force Called the Darkness A Choice of Chaos To Chose to survive or thrive Those are my suggestions for @ al. My synopsis -- The case wasn’t supposed to be about human trafficking. It was supposed to be about domestic violence. Playing the part of someone with a learning disability, being abused by his partner, Colby Mohegan is about to go on his third undercover investigation – this time with someone totally new. When he starts working at his job, though, he realizes that the hotel he’s working at has a lot more to do with the case then the domestic violence shelter ever did. It’s too bad he doesn’t realize that until he’s kidnapped and sold as a slave… Fifteen-year-old Steven knew that unless he made a move soon, he’d never get out of there. He just didn’t know how to make a move. Sold into slavery two years ago by his father for what amounted to beer money, he’s been trying to just get by ever since. When his friend Jeff was brutally murdered by human traffickers, he decided to make a move. There was just one problem he had: What move could he make? Joshua Martin had never liked Colby Mohegan and had bad gut feelings about going on a case with him; even going on a case where he got an excuse to beat him up. All is going as well as it can on the case until Joshua gets a mysterious note that says someone knows he’s been abusing Colby – and that Colby’s gone missing. Now, it’s a race to determine whether or not his friend’s cover has been blown and find the missing federal agent before the bad guys realize exactly who Colby Mohegan is.

When Winter Hawthorn accepts a job as a test subject to make some quick cash, things are not as they seem. At the test facility she is paired up with another test subject named Charlie. She likes him, but she has had some bad experiences with men so she is wary of fully trusting him. Together they work as a team and they pass a few simple tests by becoming an almost unstoppable team. They do so good in fact they get moved onto a team of other test subjects that have also excelled at the tests. They enter the testing facility known as The Fray, that puts you through survival challenges to test your will and might during intense circumstances. Not every one is a fan of this new arrangement. Tensions rise and people begin to be anxious and hostile with each other. But when the A.I. robot that controls the facility,E.L.A.I.N.E, gains self awareness, these quarreling people must ban together to make it out alive, and find out what team work really means.

My novel is about Amy, a young woman with mild learning disabilities who lives a dull and restricted life with her unloving, widowed father. She has also suffered abuse from her granny. She longs for more choice and independence, friendship, closeness to someone. Life appears to take a turn for the better when Dad takes up with and later marries Triona, a woman they met on holiday. Triona treats Amy like her daughter, and they do wonderful things together. However Triona's loving kindness turns into extreme control of Amy's life and escalates into psychological cruelty. After a lot of twists and turns and trauma, Amy finally appears to be free from Triona's control, but is she? Amy has to choose whether to stay free, or take the bright new life abroad Triona is offering her, that Amy has long dreamed of. I need a title, please. One that reflects something of the themes of my story. Being powerless and controlled, life choices, breaking free, dreams you can't fulfill, etc. Any ideas?

Okay, I have a tale that needs a title. Any help is tremendously appreciated! A country nobleman's daughter is thrilled by her first visit to court, but she accidentally gets lost and witnesses a secret meeting between the princess and a mystery man. (There's a terrible coup going on in the neighboring country beyond the mountains, and this is involved.) Unfortunately for her she gets caught, and because she has seen the mystery man, she gets sent away as apprentice to a famous, reclusive, high mountain jeweler, where no one important might find out what she saw. (She loves gems and has studied legends and lore and really, really wanted to get an apprenticeship like that.) Once there, after battling homesickness, (She's not an orphan! Instead has a big, boisterous and loving family.) she becomes friends with the few inhabitants of the place. Including the quiet, good looking stable boy, and his mother, who are refugees from the fighting in the country across the mountains. Between doing her work, learning her craft, and getting on her feet to face the world as herself, she starts sensing secrets here, too. Then an accident throws everything out of kilter. Unexpectedly, she is needed to help the stable boy, as he goes over the high mountains in winter and guide a band of refugees across. Before they get to their destination, they get sidetracked by a man who needs their help. He tells them that the neighboring king is being held for ransom, and the kidnappers will sell him to the enemy if their side doesn't pay quick. This is of course terrible news, and the stable boy plunges into the rescue. She isn't so hot on the idea, but can't stop him, so shrugs and helps out; the plot is to retrieve a gem, (considered mere fable for centuries,) from the hoard of theives. This gets complicated... It takes place mainly in winter, and has a lot to do with jewelry making and gems. Also, disguises, sneakiness, plotting, but isn't much involved in the actual war, though the tension it adds to day to day life is felt. Any suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks so much!

It is somewhere in the distant future, and tensions are rising between the races on each planet of our Solar System (including Pluto, wouldn't want to leave Pluto out). Earth and Neptune are on the brink of war, and many civilizations seem ready to join in. However, this is merely the background for the story. Three orphans from three different orphanages on three different planets all end up on one space station for one reason or another. April, an alien abandoned on Earth, has headed there on a field trip. Mae, a Venusian native, has her transport ship hijacked and forcibly piloted to the station. March is returning to the station from military school in hopes of finding his womanizing father. All three orphans meet up somehow on the space station and decide that their lives would be much better if they stole a small spaceship and set off in search for their parents. They embark on their mission in the midst of interplanetary war, and their adventures begin!

Okay. I was here once before but I didn't really know my story all that well, now I know what it is much better and I need a title (at least if I want my mommy to print and laminate my winner certificate again this year). So here's the basis of the story: Isaria is a young girl living in the harsh norther land where everything is ice and snow. She lives in a tribe, secluded and reclusive to the point where they only go short distances from their home. Women are meant to be the child-bearers and home makers but Isaria wants to be a warrior and plans to go on her Grealak (spirit quest) on her 13th birthday. Instead, the chief denies her that right but with the help of a few of the tribesmen she is smuggled out and sent north following a 'string' in her heart (of sorts) that tells her where to go. However, the journey is difficult and she learns about the cultures of two towns and another village before she finally meets Riyage. Riyage is the other half of her that she's been searching for her whole life (though only consciously just a few months before she turns 13). He is a large dragora (basically like a dragon though possibly considered much larger) with a gray hide and amber eyes, and they're telepathically linked. Together, they are destined to reunite not only the frozen tundra in which they originate, but the rest of the world together, abolishing the ignorance that has plagued them for hundreds of years. Side notes: Isaria and Riyage are not the only dragora and dragoon (riders are dragoons) out there. Every continent (of the 4 there are) has a pair though they may not know their purpose like Isaria and Riyage do.

Or like jblanc said, something cold or dragon-y would work. @jblanc: You're excerpt was helpful for ideas. Little confused about your synposis, being that it's a sequel. What was the first called? But some bad ideas I came up with were; Not so Temporal Affairs. The Old Serpent. Or something more about Kim and her role. Maybe a cool contradiction. Redeeming Disaster.

Now, on the eve of his coming of age, Verconus must confront his fear of the gods and what they have done to him to take his place as a man of the tribe. When the unthinkable happens, Verconus ends up at a settlement near the Roman fort. There he meets a small group of Christians, and he and his father receive the hope and joy that knowing the one true God brings. He and his father ultimately return home to live down their disgrace and show their people that it is possible to find real peace.

I need a name for my novel! I made one up on-the-spot just for the Nano site, but I'm not entirely happy with it (and it kind of is two titles right now.) To break my story down, a teenage boy finds himself suddenly orphaned when both his parents die in a car crash, and because his family is few and far between, he goes to live with his adult cousin who lives nearby. He struggles with secrecy and deception when, first, he starts dating a guy who has multiple partners, and keeps all of them secrets from each other, second, when he find another boyfriend who is deeply closeted and his religion prevents him from letting anybody close to him know of his orientation, and third, when he develops romantic feelings for his cousin. The story all in all is about his struggles growing up.

First thing in my head: Growing Up Doesn't Come With A Manual. It's probably more lighthearted than you need, though. Um, Growing Up Alone. Love and Lies. Questioning Love.

I have a title, but I don't actually love it, haha. My basic premise: In a kingdom somewhere and time in the future, the king has read so many books that every concept has become cliched. In a bid for new reading material, he comes up with a contest: the man who writes him the most original novel gets to marry his daughter. But not all the suitors want to win for the same reason. And somewhere in the kingdom, rebellion is brewing.

I'm being a NaNoRebel this year, writing two novellas, rather than one novel, but they're in the same world with the same characters, so I figure it's fine. I don't have good titles for either. #1: Harriet Velasquez, part-time forger of documents for immigrants who can't get papers legally, criminals (mostly organized crime) who need them for criminal purposes, and vampires (she doesn't know they vampires, and technically, I haven't used the word yet, and probably never will), makes IDs for her estranged sister (who is infiltrating the Chinese tongs for the Mexican gang) and a new vampire. She does some research and learns that the young man she just met (the supernatural creature) died a few years back. There's a territory dispute between the Mexican gang and that strange gang that no one knows anything about (the vampires), and Harriet volunteers to be a mediator. That doesn't work out, however, and the Mexicans plan to set fire to several buildings that belong to the vampires that are in the Mexicans' territory. But the vampires attack!, leaving lots of people badly wounded, and a few people wondering what the hell just happened. Meanwhile, some information passes between the Mexicans and the Chinese. It ends with vague wonderings about what the hell the "unknowns" are. (Not a great ending, but I'll have to fix it later.) #2: Harriet, in her quest for knowledge, agrees to go on a date with one of the "unknowns" or "aswangs" (it's a Filipino ghoul, but also just a general word for supernatural creature, and Harriet is Filipino), so she can try to pry more information out of him. Then, there is a gruesome and messy murder. The elder council of supernaturals are looking for the murderer (so they can kill him for possibly revealing their secrets to the world), and the Mexican gang (it was one of them who was murdered) is trying to figure out what just happened. Harriet's interest in what the aswangs actually are gets her pulled into this investigation, and sooner or later, the paths of the human and the supernatural investigators will meet. (And, of course, I haven't written an ending for this yet.) Anyway ... is this enough? Anyone have title ideas? Thanks!

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

shockvaluecola — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:59:23 +0000

It seemed like Exod is a shortening of Exodus (like Salem for Jerusalem) so that's where I was going with that. Personally, I think using the full word would be catchier, and people will pick up on the connection to the name of the colony, but that's just an opinion :)

For the one above (I hope I am doing this right,it is my first forum comment) Unknown Desires A Meeting With Unknown I'm sorry,I am not very good at coming up with novel names,hence why I am on this thread xD Well my novel synopsis is: There is a boy and a girl who are best friends.The girl is being abused by her mother and she runs away to London and asks the boy to go with her,the boy refuses and she goes on her own. While she is there she meets a boy and they fall in love and start dating and then they end up living together.She gets a text from the boy who she meets in London telling her to go back to her old school,and when she goes,she sees her best friend being hung from a noose. Luckily he has just that minuite been put up there so he is still alive. Her boyfriend is there and refuses to let her call an ambulance because he thinks she loves her best friend more than she loves him. She eventually gets to call an ambulance and she leaves her boyfriend and tells him she hates him. She tells someone about her mum being abusive so they let her live with her best friend.She gets realy stressed and cuts. She tells herself that her boyfriend still loves her and she goes back to him but when she gets there,he confesses that he hung her bestfriend and that he does not want anything to do with her. She calls the police but her best friend can not remeber what happened and all the evidence has already been destroyed , and that is where my novel currenty finsihes because I can't think of an ending. I know the plot is a bit far fetched but it was all I could think of. Any help with the title would be greatly apreciated.

Or... *spews out any title that come to mind* "Friends of Society", "Jealousy Bleeds Red", "Failure to Communicate", "No Other Option". Hope one of those gets your creative juices flowing! Btw my synopsis is in the profile, but I honestly don't really need a title, as I'm quite content with mine :P but I'd be curious to see what any of you lovely Wrimos can come up with!

She's forced to open old wounds in the name of stopping a presidential assassination. Cyrus also finds out that she's pregnant with her enemy's child. I already have a title ('The Toys'), but I may change it if someone here has a better one.

Julia VV — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:36:43 +0000

Heart Of Stone (I don't really know why, but It feels like it could fit) I like "The Toys", as well. That may be your best bet. Anyone have one for this? Eighteen-year-old Ruby Galway lives in a world where the sun never rises and every hour of every day is dark. But very bad things can happen in the dark. When a string of brutal murders arises in her town, Ruby knows she needs to tell the truth about what she's seen. But soon, she's not sure who she can trust to tell it to--and she must make a choice. Turn the killer in, and she may be next. Say nothing, and risk innocent peoples' deaths--and they might not be as innocent as Ruby thinks.

Re: Create a Title for the novel above you.

Hemlock_key — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:44:43 +0000

The Toys seems a touch generic, as does Misfits, but I was wondering if perhaps picking one of the actual Misfit Toys would be better. Does the character have a codename that coincides with one of them? Spotted Elephant? A Dolly for Sue, or perhaps even the Bird Fish. They're certainly unusual titles for a novel of that genre, and would catch attention. I've currently no clue about a title for mine. Not to surprising given that it's the third novel I've started to write this month. Synopsis Clara Faraday has a tendency to consider the worst possibilities that could befall her, and when her parents died, leaving the thirteen year old girl in the care of an uncle she'd never met, those possibilities seemed looming. But Sir Simon is not like the horrifying relatives of her imagination, and Thorn Valley manor, her father's home, has more secrets than she could ever have imagined. Sir Simon's mysterious twin brother Eric seems to live in the forest, Mr. Burns, the man of all trades, doles out advice and cryptic answers, Siegfried the dog seems to think for himself, and the cook, Mr. Indigo is an eccentric. Things begin to get serious when Clara's old tutor, Ms. Juniper, arrives at Sir Simon's request to resume her duties. Clara begins an investigation into the secrets of Thorn Valley that will change everything she thought she knew about the Faraday family--and the world around her. Thorn Valley is cursed, with two of it's residents taking the form of animals when the sun rises/sets, the house falling down no matter how much it is repaired, two brothers who cannot see each other lest one of them die and a host of other problems that all go back to before any of them were born and one Faraday made the mistake of wandering into the North Woods, and offending someone with more power than he ever believed in. If Clara is going to make a new life for herself, she's going to have to untangle the threads of the curse, find out where it came from, and stop a jealous witch from adding another hundred years to Thorn Valley's misery.

Professor.Banshee — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:03:11 +0000

Ladyfnick, I actually really like "Lemon Blossom and Lobelia" as a title. But it's hard to say if it'll fit, since you don't have a synopsis anywhere. My synopsis: In the fall of 1932, David Sawyer moves to the small, seaside town of Cape Redley. What was meant to be another awkward year of junior high is anything but, when Sawyer falls in with Benji, an eccentric upperclassman, and is swept up in Cape Redley's underlying strangeness. Spacecrafts and conspiracies, spiritual forces, otherwordly beings - rumors run rampant in schoolyards and shantytowns. But it's all in good fun, isn't it? My working title is "Inside," but I don't really care for it.

(Modern Paranormal) Twin Oakes is a suburban town with the illusion of normalcy. Yet magic runs through the soil, and there is a remarkable number of people with strange powers. Witches, shapeshifters, telekinetics, psychics, and more... but each thinks they're unusual. Alone. The novel is a series of interconnected short stories, and even though each protagonist has a different power, the focus is really on their states of mind. Most of them feel isolated and hide their powers. Often the powers become a method to fix their psyches. (For example, the telekinetic moves objects when she gets upset/afraid. She must stand up to bullies in order to master her ability. The ghost is trapped on Earth until her loved ones let her move on. The psychic tries to prevent a suicide that he "sees" a vision of.) Trying to find a title that would encompass the feel of all of their stories! My working title, "Tales of Twin Oakes," is just soooo booooring

He was taught martial arts and the ways of the sword beginning at age 5 by his abusive father who was a member of a crime family and a sword master himself. Theo grew to be a excellent fighter himself and by age 17, he was at the top of the crime family's ranks with his father. Then tragedy struck and Theo is sworn to seek revenge on the dying wish of his father to take the life of 9 listed powerful "Gang Lords" for reasons unknown.

Natalie Arrant loves to paint. At least, she did, until an angel-turned-demon hurtled all the way from Heaven into her pool. N˚2,362 is in bad graces with both God and Satan because he isn’t exactly the best-behaved angel-turned-demon. He’s selfish and arrogant, and the only reason he’s decided to cure Natalie’s mutism is because he needs her to paint things for him. A lot of things. He knows that Natalie has a gift: the ability to paint things into the world, bringing them to life when she wishes for them to be real. While Natalie isn’t exactly sure of his motives, she needs to do two things if she wants to keep her voice: help him fit into the human world as “Gabriel Gray,” and paint everything he wants, no questions asked. Unfortunately for her, Gabe isn’t in this for the acrylics and watercolors. Instead, he’s more focused on getting back home any way he can, and if using Natalie’s talents means that he gets what he wants, he has no qualms. And lucky for him, a new painter is needed in the world down below…

Thanks for your sympathical feed-back. I think that in your interpretation of the word Kleingeld traduced intoEnglishsemantics it would have given more semantic meaning which would have been "atribuatable to my or "his" experiences, but it's fine to have these possibilities of meanings in other languages like in english. Congrats for your comprehension of my litterary creation , which was rather near from life experience. The big number of words that I was able to write isnot a very great performance, because I worked with "trics" ( "Tricks": I introducedflash-backs into my story of going west from Berlin to Pertuis ( Provence ) by bike and took other writings - which I did not yet publish and in that way I had only to work in stylistic to adapt the perspectivical view of the whole product, so I was not in stress and I could create rather quietly, every day. I think that I will make it a little bit next year too, because every day of life is rich in story telling elements, and as we are writers ( ! )canget use of life in that way , too, isn't it ?

My story is about a group of ten men who get abducted by the government and sent to isolated facilities to be experimented upon. These men are locked away in solitary confinement and tortured as a form of keeping them in line. Through a period of over half a year, the men who did not die from the torture slowly went insane. What remained was a soldier, a homeless bum, a farmer, an artist, and a criminal. One by one, each remaining man gets picked off by a shadowy and mysterious force as they struggle to deal with themselves, their insanity, and the looming dangers. Soooo, any ideas? Even the most basic title might help me with it.

Okay, so my story sort of morphed from semi-historical fiction to all-out fantasy. Also, not sure my working title is so working anymore. :) Felix is a traveling scop (old English poet/singer) that wanders from one lord's land to the next, stealing and charming as he goes. One day he meets a mute girl whom he names Isaac. His adopted brother travels with the Roma (gypsies) of the time, but actually sabotages Felix's life from behind the scenes. He wants to take control of Isaac's godly powers. (This is where it gets weirder.) You see, Isaac is actually an incarnation of the god that has been passed down for forever (Ra, other gods, etc.). AND--get this--in her last incarnation, killed all but one of Felix's family. Isaac actually finds out about this (as well as regains her voice) but doesn't tell Felix about it. And yes, ALL while they are falling in wuv. Long story short (well--shorter), Isaac dies and Felix is promised a chance to meet her next incarnation. Yay. That was a super long explanation/synopsis/summary/plot. I pity the next commenter. XD~ I probably got ninja'd, too.

I do quite like your working title, but I can think of some suggestions. I had a look at the summary on your Novel Info page as well, and most of them relate a little to the stuff there about shadow's and fear or shadows, so if that isn't a plot point anymore then I apologise :) 1. Issac's Shadow 2. Shadow of the Gods 3. Ra's Shadow (or the name of the god in particular, if you aren't going to use Ra) 4. The Last God

Like the poster above, due to changes my novel decided to make to itself in November, my working title isn't quite right anymore, and I would appreciate some help to find a new one :) Summary below, hope it helps! Its a YA novel, Steampunk/Victorian London setting, a mystery/fantasy: A group of strangers a roped into an investigation when several important artefacts are stolen and a historian connected with them goes missing soon afterwards. The journalist brother of the missing man hires noble-blooded librarian and part-time detective Wing Tigris, his police friend Bramley Chapel, a disgruntled policewoman named Iris and (quite by accident) a pastry chef and faerie changeling called Brook to investigate. However, when the historian is found murdered, in possession of one of the items, the plot thickens. Joined by the physician and apprentice of the murdered man, who has escaped the killer himself, they soon find themselves up to their necks in a plot to kill the king of England on Midsummer Night, and must rush to uncover the remaining magical artefacts and the identity of the killer before it is too late. More murders take place, revealing an ancient curse and a quest for revenge, and everywhere the group go they find a mark of three diamonds, the insignia of the mysterious Solitaire Club. Also, the physician and Wing are sorcerers.

Just edited my old summary with that new one to create this one, its a bit more informative, if that helps... A threatening message on a wall at the mayor of London's manor... A golden goblet, gone missing from its hiding place, along with several other artefacts... A book of ancient spells... They all lead to the same place, the home of a historian named Montague, who has also disappeared, taking a terrible secret with him... The true identity of Jack the Ripper. Librarian-turned-sleuth Wing Tigris and policeman Bramley Chapel and his disgruntled boss, Iris Jones (alongside a journalist who can't help sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and an overenthusiastic pastry chef) are brought together to solve the mystery. However, when Montague is found murdered, in possession of the goblet, the plot thickens. Joined by the physician and apprentice of the murdered man, who has escaped the Ripper himself, they soon find themselves up to their necks in a plot to kill the king of England, and must rush to uncover the remaining magical artefacts and the identity of the killer before it is too late. More murders take place, revealing an ancient curse and a quest for revenge, and everywhere the group go they find a mark of three diamonds, the insignia of the mysterious Solitaire Club.

Okay, so I've got a big one here. I've created this entire universe/mythos thing, and I'm trying to come up with titles for 3 different series that take place in it, plus I need to find something to call the mythos/universe. Untited Series #1: Abby Tanner is an autistic 19-year-old and has a strange power that lets her absorb information and makes her unable to forget anything. She also has heightened senses, especially smell and hearing. Despite her young age, she's already a grad student, and is working at a lab where geneticists are doing research on autism and on the genetic mutations believed to cause powers like hers. The main point of the research is to develop prenatal tests for both autism and mutation, and to find a "cure" for both in people who are already born. Untitled Series #2: After the Academy (a school for mutants located in Chicago) closes down in the middle of anti-mutant panic, four students (Zoe, Paige, Eve, and Reagan), rather than going back to their families and trying to lead "normal" lives, relocate and form their own super-hero-ish team. Untitled Series #3: Not long after the Academy closes, Han, a 15-year-old Alchemist, hears of a Doomsday prophecy that could wipe out the majority of life on Earth. She, along with two other Alchemists, being their search for the Philosopher's Stone, so they, their families, and their friends might find a way to use it to survive the possible apocalypse. And that's it. I need help finding titles for all 3 series, plus something to call the mythos.

Esmeralda Tuesday is a witch in a world where magic is not as it once was, and she doesn't mind all that much. Kyle Kent, her mentor, disagrees, and sacrifices her in an attempt to summon a demon to restore magical supremacy on Earth. Unfortunately, a side effect of the ritual used is that she is now a ghost, trapped between this world and the next, and she rather likes this world. In an attempt to stave off the apocalypse, she teams up with a demon hunter, a monk, and a pair of time traveling private detectives in harrowing adventure that takes them from coast to coast. It's an urban fantasy tragicomedy road trip story with a portion of horror thrown in as well.

Series 1 - Curing the Unbroken Curing the Creator (Considering she is working to create a 'cure' for what she has) Unbound (as in the DNA she's playing with) Series 2 - The Unfabulous Four The Not-so-fabulous Four On Our Own Standing Alone Rising The Shadows (in that they are living as shadow people, pretending they are 'normal' and living a shadow life as supers) Shadows Rising (things seem to be against them: anti-mutants, no academy, no family. Things that have very little real shape are rising against them until they must make a stand or rise above it) Series 3 - Sapiens Saxum (It is latin for Philosopher Large Stone, according to my Latin-English dictionary) Shadows Rising could also be a title for the mythos as well. I'd love it if you could take a peek at my story and give me your title ideas as well.

Any chance of getting some suggestions for this one? Because I have no title: The lady Cwyn has been kidnapped by the dragon -- Cerrovax, the great black beast on the royal standard. It seems that the bards may have exaggerated and the first king of the dynasty didn't kill him after all. Which is quite embarassing, but there are a number of single men in the royal family who could fix their ancestor's mistake by riding forth to rescue and marry the -- quite eligible -- young duchess. Cwyn's girlfriend Lore rather objects to that last bit of the traditional solution. So she sets off to rescue Cwyn herself, with the help of her bastard half-brother Fionn, the only knight-in-training Lore knows who won't expect the dramatic rescue to end in marriage. And if the dragon's plans had been as simple as kidnapping a beautiful girl and broiling a few princes in their own armor, they might have pulled it off. Instead, they find themselves the wrench in the gears of a revenge plot three hundred years in the making.

Here's another one. This one is for next November (hopefully, if the anticipation doesn't eat away at me too much). The synopsis is in the planning stages, but it's a sequel to my first novella, 'The Road to Hell'. It continues as a Neo-Noir. 'The Road to Hell' ends with Ingrid and Everett meeting with each other at her family's New York home, but Ingrid's parents get involved. Everett temporarily takes her mother hostage, but her mom comes back, and he gives Ingrid a choice to stay with him, and he expresses how he truly loves her. Ingrid, instead, chooses to go back to France with her parents. Everett is despondent over her leaving him, but he has to go on the best way he can. He does temporarily drown his sorrows, and while he has an investigation over his head, it's more of an investigation on two of his aliases. He becomes an even more blood-thirsty and dangerous hitman after Ingrid leaving him. His mentor, Alastair, keeps an eye on him, but he also plans on keeping an eye on Ingrid too, not just because he cares about Everett as though Everett were his son, but because he doesn't want for Ingrid to run her mouth about Everett and his job - otherwise he has no problem taking Ingrid out. He enlists the help of one of his proteges, a young female assassin from China, to keep an eye on Ingrid and infiltrate Parisian high society. Ingrid, meanwhile, is living a quiet life in Paris, though now her parents (her mother in particular) are working overtime to get her married off to someone with a decent name and a lot of money to continue the family wealth. Enter Maurice Sullivan, son of a deceased banking tycoon. In turn, Everett soon gets a request from his mother to come back to England. Everett flies back home, and learns that his father is mortally ill and is not expected to make it. While he's at home, one thing leads to another, and he learns about Ingrid and her upcoming marriage. Basically, this novel will have a lot of doublecrossing, murder, seedy characters, etc. It will read exactly like a Neo-Noir. Someone help me with a title here. Remember that the first novel is called 'The Road to Hell'.

If he is able to find the vampire, he has been promised his dearest desire: freedom. His target is refined and clever, a powerful Nubian vampire who will stop at nothing to stay free. As the chase continues it becomes even less clear who the hunter and the prey are.

VixieRose — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:24:15 +0000

I always thought that the phrase was "The road to hell is paved with good intentions"... As for a title, if you want it to relate to "The Road to Hell" and avoid the misnomer, you could always try "Pavement" or something of the kind. It could always be paired with an interesting cover for assistance in getting your point across, and of course, it leaves "Good Intentions" open as a possibility should you ever feel so inspired as to write something fitting of that title in the series. ;)

The last thing Tom expects to gain at a gay club he was forced to go to is true love, but that's what he finds in Henry, the house DJ who appreciates finer things than cheap alcohol and dubstep. Henry isn't attractive, and is blunt to the point of being mean, but Tom is drawn to him anyway. In an attempt to get to know each other, Henry takes him on a tour of his life, bringing him to the landmarks that filter through his memory. The story is an account of a love that lasted 24 hours, and how it was tragically taken away. It's a young-adult novel, basically. Some info on the two main characters if it'll help: Tom (the narrator): A college freshman who has no idea where he's going in life. He's a sound - color synesthete, meaning he sees colors when he hears different music notes. By recalling or seeing these colors, he's able to recreate any song he hears on the piano. He's plagued by the fact that he's unable to create anything original, that he's been given this gift only to be wasted. He generally just feels sorry about himself. Henry: A DJ at a club that plays music he doesn't even like. He's a philosopher that seems to like confusing others by bringing up deep subjects out of the blue. He seems like a confident person, but that's only covering the issues of his low self-esteem. He has the idea that his life hasn't really begun yet, and he doesn't know when, where, or if it ever will, but he's not hung up on it like Tom is. He is seemingly lonely, and latches on to Tom to tell him everything he's ever wanted to say out loud.

Carter Sinclair is a soldier in the US Eighth Army stationed in Tokyo, 1947. During the Pacific War, he picked up a serious guilt complex, an undiagnosed case of PTSD and a letter written by a Japanese soldier he may or may not have killed. He develops an obsession with the letter - he can't understand a word of it, but he believes that delivering it to its intended recipient would be a step down the road to forgiveness. Miyoko Fujimoto is a translator working for the US Army. Unbeknownst to Carter, she was also the scarred, homeless wretch that he secretly gave extra rations to two years ago, saving her from starvation. After she's hired as a translator and Carter comes to her to make sense of the letter, she decides to repay her debt to him by helping him deliver it. Reiko Tsuchiya, the woman to whom the letter was addressed, proves far more difficult to find than they expected and the hunt for her takes them everywhere from tiny rural villages to the ruins of Hiroshima, all the while uncertain if she even survived the war at all. The two of them travel across postwar Japan in search of her so that a long-dead soldier can have his chance to say goodbye.

My story needs a new title. It was originally titled How to Raise a Teen, Save the World, and (Hopefully) Not Get Killed Over the Summer, but the story didn't turn out as humorous as I thought it would be when I named it. The premise is the Devalen family has a large, buried treasure that is suppose to be dug up and divided between the heirs. However, one of the heir's controlling brother-in-law Ryan is killing the other heirs and is going to use her (Susannah) to steal the treasure. Meanwhile, the MC Jacob lost his fiancee Pamela when she and Fredrick (one of the heirs) disappeared on an archeology dig. 16 years later, Claire, Pamela's teenage daughter, finds Jacob to tell him that her mother recently died. Meanwhile, Fredrick's son Jules is trying to find out what happened to his father and his mother, who disappeared shortly after his father. Jules meets Jacob and Claire for lunch to ask Jacob about his father when Sonja (who works for Ryan) shows up and demands that they give her Fredrick's clue. The three of them head out and find out from one of Jules's aunts that his grandfather (who buried the treasure) gave each of the children a clue to find the treasure. The three of them, joined by Susannah's son Mark who is really spying on them, chase the clues all around the U.S., trying to get them before Ryan does and takes the treasure.

Something I can't decide a title for: Mary Sue is a little porcelain doll who is mildly surprised that she has suddenly gained the ability to walk and talk. She was just given to little Sarah as a replacement for her favourite doll, who was found mutilated in the backyard one morning. She soon meets the other toys in the nursery, including four other dolls like her. They tell her that they live in this house to protect it, though they are vague about who their enemy is. Since she is the replacement for Elizabeth, the previous leader of the dolls, she must join them as an apprentice and learn to use her hidden powers to protect the house. As she begins life as a guardian and tries to gain the other toys' trust, she learns more about the dolls' past and hers. However, when the children of the house are in danger, Mary Sue must come to their aid. Are Peter and Sarah's attackers after what is hidden in the house? What happened to Elizabeth? What are these dolls protecting, and who are they protecting it from? The setting is British suburbs in the 90's, and is mostly fantasy/fairytale like with little involvement of humans for most of the story. What do you think? :)

Mine: Romeo Bright, age 17, was going to go to to sleep-away camp designed for Shakespeare dorks like her. Think of it - the words, the nature, the Bard... Well, on her last day of school, she was chased by gargoyles and transported to a land called Mercanova where, apparently, Romeo Bright is a princess and a prophecied Hero of the World, along with a fairy pirate called Puck, a nomad out of a sci-fi movie called Demetrius, and with a mentor that Romeo's sure is hiding something. Then she is bombarded with things that need answering. Why is SHE a Prophecied? She can't use a sword to save her life, even though she's supposed to inherit some sort of epically magical one. Why is SHE royal? She's got ginger hair and freckles. And why was SHE never informed of the family in Mercanova? Why does she only learn of Mercanova NOW? And who is the real villain: Iago, her vengeful uncle, or someone - or something - far more sinister? And there's the question of the wording of the prophecy. It says that a Hero Princess will save the world. As Romeo finds out, Demetrius' heart is won by a princess (and Romeo's sister) named Hero. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? Romeo needs to find the sword, her guts, and control the words before it's too late, and everyone she holds dear has been killed. Including herself.

Hers is to see through the eyes of anybody if she only touches them first. When she first finds out about this ability, she keeps it hidden, but when she finds out her 'father' is a Shadowkeeper, she realizes that he is not her real father, and only wants her to teach her to be on his side. She learns about the Book of Secrets, which her 'father', whom she now knows adopted her, posesses. She takes the book and sets the town on fire(which is the very beginning).

But the company ( where Tabatha works ), their funding is running low, and when Tabatha requests more funding for her project, they refuse. Yet Tabatha knows her project has a " good chance " of succeeding, but she needs the funding. She may choose to do something drastic.

My suggestion withouth knowing the answers to the above questions: The scientist The inventor The scientist's daughter The inventor's daughter Substance X / Invention Y / Vaccine Z (Basically a noun for whatever this revolutionary thing is) Mother or Earth (Athena must chose between saving her Mother or the Earth -- Play on Mother Erath) My mother the scientist Torn (as in Athene is torn between stoping her mother or not)

My story in a huge nutshell: On the morning of her fifth birthday, Hannah plays by a river and falls in. A man saves her from drowning but disapears down a waterfal, never to be found, and believed to be dead. Twenty years later, on her twenty-fifth birthday, Hannah meets a stranger and after some initial bonding learns he's the man who saved her life, and who she thought she "had killed." She also learns that Tom, as the man's called, is immortal (NOT VAMPIRE) but his highest wish is to be mortal. After his secret is exposed Tom dissapears and Lui (an immortal from Tom's past who Tom told Hannah about) shows up, saying he has cure for immortality. Hannah and Lui embarks on a journey to find Tom and cure him, and Hannah learns that the only way for Tom to become mortal is by killing another imortal, so the plan is to convince Tom to kill Ásgeirr (immortal) who had Lui's whife killed. --> Lui gets his revenge, Tom gets his mortality back, and Hannah gets to help the man who saved her life when she was five. It's a win-win-win situation (if we disregard Ásgeirr). The hatch is that someone else will become immortal. e.g. If immortal A kills Immortal B, then immortal A becomes mortal, immortal B dies and mortal 1 becomes immortal. Lui believes this has to do with comming in contact with immortal blood. Well after some trouble (a gun fight with Ásgeirr among other things) they do find Tom, but Ásgeirr has mistaken Hannah for being an immortal and blackmails her into meeting up with him to arrange for het to kill Lui. So Hannah pretends to be an immortal meets up with Ásgeirr while the boys plan their part on killing Ásgeirr. But Ásgeirr is not as stupid as he looks and he poisons Hannah to make sure she's actually immortal/to use her as bait in case she's mortal. Some fighting happens, and Hannah gets points for hitting the nuts and an eye, so she gets away. Lui and Tom shows up to the meeting finds a rather injured and poisoned Hannah. The big stand off with Ásgeirr happens and Tom becomes mortal. Ásgeirr dies. Lui get's his revenge and Hannah becomes immortal thus surviving the lethal poisoning. Then in the after match, Hannah discovers that Tom and Lui set her up. They had planned all along that Ásgeirr would mistake her, though they hadn't planned for her to become immortal. (There are clues to this in the story, so it's a twist but forshadowed). Now for names? I've considered these allready: How to kill an immortal (which somehow takes away a bit from the outcome being someones death) Stratagem 29 (which is what L and T does by making Á think H is immortal, but this may take away from the twist) The Remedy/ The Cure / The Antidote (All these hinting to both helping Tom and what Hannah needs in the end when she get's poisoned) Death will set him free (which sounds way too emoesque) The Eternals (which sort of just states what they are) Almost immortal / Close to deathlessness (they can still be killed)

Synopsis: Adam is new to the city and to the world of the Neon gangs - but he may have something to do with the series of murders surrounding them. Mia's memory has been sketchy her whole life, but she's been blacking out more and more lately. She's worried about the things she can't remember, she's worried about her husband, and she's worried about the erratic and suspicious behavior of her cousin. Noah is devestated after the death of his boyfriend, but the gangs are growing more and more restless around him. Someone has set the disturbing events in motion, and he's bound and determined to find out who. Anna's heart is not her own anymore, not since a surgery saved her life by taking someone else's. And now she's seeing things, hearing things, and feeling things that she knows can't be real. Chance is the one that connects them all - but he's not even part of this story. Not yet, anyway. :D

It sounds like a Final Transaction to me. It's like they're swapping modes of life -- mortality, immortality, and death. Otherwise, I like Stratagem 29 -- it's unique and plays on the similarity to Catch 22; someone has to die for you to be mortal.

If it has something to do with stocks, it may be quite good. I've also thought about the fact that they are switching modes of life, but that isn't the main focus. Anyway. Thanks :)

Here are my suggestions: Lights Out (reference to the Neon gangs and Mia's blackouts) The Still-Beating Hearts (refers to Anna's heart transplant and the deaths) Yeah, that's all I've got right now.

Since no one above me (as I type this) has no plot summary for me to suggest titles to, heres my own story. Sora lives a peaceful but monotonous life; delivering packages around the country town, listening for news about the recent wars. One evening, she sits in the fields and looks at the sky. Before passing out, Sora saw a star falling and felt a surge of energy. She wakes up to meet a guy in a cloak, asking if shes alright. He walks her home and disappears. Next morning, Sora finds she grew wings and feels strange but powerful. Sometime later, the town’s attacked by monsters and Sora barely escapes, helped by the same boy whose cloak had hidden his own wings. His name is Icarus and he’s a wind angel, servant of the Sky Goddess, Aurae. He was fighting a war between the darkness god, Kronos, and their most recent battle brought them to the legendary Celestial Orb. Before either could seize it, the orb shattered itself and one of the shards, which held immense power, had landed on Earth. Sora had absorbed its powers and it flowed through her, resulting in her transformation to an angel and newfound star powers. Taken in by Aurae, Sora now helps Icarus and aims to stop the wars between the gods as well as prevent Kronos from causing destruction. But there’s many obstacles and battles in the way. Not to mention a few secrets that not even the Gods themselves know about. I considered "Sky Messenger" (after my username) but I still wonder if theres a more fitting title. If you're curious, there is some mythology spins and Kid Icarus traces in there. But a vast majority is my own unique ideas.

Wouldn't call her Mary Sue, as that implies 'too perfect original character' in fanfiction. But other than that, it sounds really cool!

Nothing to give a title to here? I'll just post my summary then, if that's okay :) Newly arrived from a quiet village to a town on the outskirts of London, the shy, young police officer Bramley Chapel finds himself surrounded by the eccentrics of the big city, most of them working in the same office! The investigation of a theft leads him to the home of Montague, a history professor on the brink of a tremendous discovery, but the man is missing. Joined by librarian-turned-sleuth Wing Tigris, Montague's physician and a group of students with unusual powers, Bramley and the other officers uncover a web of murder and magic, racing to clear the name of an innocent suspect and to avoid being murdered themselves! Its a murder mystery novel with fantasy elements, playing with the classic tropes of Sherlock Holmes mysteries and Agatha Christie novels.

The Sleuths of Scotland Yard Historical Fiction Detective Chapel The History Mystery Montague's History I don't love any of those, but that's all I can think of based on your description. I think the best possible title would relate to Montague's research. What do the characters know about what it is on? Is he writing a book that you could name your book after, or did he find something that led to his disappearance that would make a good title for your book? I would go in that direction if I were you.

Here is a synopsis of my current short story: After her ship is destroyed by pirates, Captain Barrow of the S.S. Montserrat is forced to make an emergency landing on an abandoned planet - Earth, more than 500 years in the future. Stranded on the edge of the salt desert with no provisions, Captain Barrow's life appears to be forfeit - until she is rescued by Kestrel, a young woman descended from those left behind during humanity's mass exodus from Earth generations before. With Kestrel at her side, Captain Barrow is able to overcome the dangers of Earth's harsh climate until help arrives. It's a sci-fi romance.

[quote=stardance] [/quote] The Lost and Abandoned Forgotten Crash Landing Not a bad synopsis. Usually I hate "earth is destroyed in the future" sort of things. But space pirates, the name Kestrel (which inspired a character name for my story) and some of the details make me intrigued already! (also, your username inspires me!)
