Basically the annual "adopt a title" thread. Since I have a few left over from this year, I figured I may as well start it off! Post your rejected or unneeded titles here & hopefully they'll find a loving home.

My father and I have this running joke about a book title:
Fifty Ways to Steal the Hope Diamond.
(...I tried writing it once, but the better bits of it turned out closer to 'one way to steal something entirely different'. So free, to a good home, the actual proper title!)

I have no original titles, but I would like to drop off this link:
http://nanorecords.pbwiki.com/FrontPage
All of the titles from last year's thread are there. I plan on doing the same for this year's titles, if not for other adoptable stuff.
On that note, can I please ask everyone to put their titles very simply? Even with minimal editing, I had to do a bunch to get everything looking the same. All the posts so far have the style that is easiest for me to work with.

You just gave me a chapter title, though it needs a minor edit. Am stealing (The) Flight of the Abyss and changing it to Flight into the Abyss. Absolutely perfect for a particular chapter that should be cropping shortly after NaNo begins (I hope!)
And here's a few I randomly thought up:
The Darkest Night
A Fated Encounter
The Light of Hope
What Might Have Been
Heart of Gold

I had a title for a sequel to the novel I'm currently writing, but I ended up stuffing it all of my content from the sequel into one novel (:
So, the title had a lot of relevance to the book:
Post-23
23 weeks after a main event happened in my first book, the number could be changed around for your liking, I suppose.
