Merry Christmas, Kapeefers!
Are you enjoying the holidays? Christmas is my favorite time of year, and, as a result, my room is buried in cheery art from July to December. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always made homemade cards—sometimes sketches, other times cut-outs of bells, snowmen, or trees, and it wouldn’t take long for my carpet to c…[Read more]

Hey Kapeefers!
I’m stuck.
Not that Chosen One’s get stuck or anything… 😉
Anyway, recently I’ve decided to major things. One is that I’m taking a break from one story until I’m way older cause then it will be way better than it would be if I wrote it now (there are more reason for that, but it is what it is.) Two, is that I’m annoyed with…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy hmm…Destroyer does seem a little aggressive. It makes me think more of a sci-fi novel than anything else. I do see what Jane is saying about Victorious being a little too early though. I will…return when I have more thoughts 😛

Sam Kowal replied to the topic Title opinions? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@kate-flournoy I think Destroyer is quite solid, although it is really heavy hitting
The thing with it, it sounds slightly too aggressive to me. So what about Ransacker? It has kind of the same feel, but seems more “breaking” than “annihilating”, and that’s what Dunstan does to the power balance, right?

@kate-flournoy ‘Victorious’ seems a little too soon. Like “oh yes here’s the book, but don’t worry they’re victorious in the end.” That could just be me though. When I started reading the blurb you have there, it made me think “Destroyer” which has a stronger sound and also shows the struggle of the story a little too?
That’s just my thoughts anyways.

@kate-flournoy I’m dying to read your book now because THE THEME.
Anyway.
I like “Victorious,” but also all the dozens of ideas suggested above are cool. My only contribution is “Vanquished.” I guess it depends on what sort of image you want to bring to mind with the title. Maybe imagining it on a book cover will help?

@kate-flournoy I agree that Victorious works. You can always use subtitles too if the title seems to plain to you.
However, it’s worth looking into new titles.
And now I’ve spent ten minutes trying to think of something and I’m coming up with nothing. 😛

@Kate-Flournoy WAIT, HOW DID I NOT KNOW DUNSTAN GETS HIS OWN BOOK? That’s cool.
And honestly, Victorious doesn’t bother me too much. Granted, it’s not the kind of title that smacks you in the heart, but neither is it grating, like, say, Finding Freedom! or something horribly cliche like that. If you do end up keeping that title, I wouldn’t…[Read more]

Oh dear. Titles.
Um….
Here are some brainstorms:
‘Accused’
‘Trial’
‘Justifiable’
‘Warlaw…’ (insert Loki facepalm here)
What kind of title are you going for?

@kate-flournoy I love your synopsis! It reminds me of Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale!
Hmm… titles…. how about Justice? (with the question mark). Maybe…
Balance. Outlaw. Innocence. I’m basically just throwing out keywords now…Â I like Outlaw I guess. I’m seeing that word quite a bit in you synopsis, so I guess it’s some kind of ongoing…[Read more]

Okay, peeps, how’s this?
It is a well-accepted fact in the province of Reed that Fairy Godmothers do exist. You might even have one, if you meet all the requirements to be a Distressed Personage, or your father pays enough money. And if you’re lucky — really, truly lucky — you might be one of those rare few who are chosen at random to recei…[Read more]

It’s really gripping 😀 It makes me want to read the book
And it seems like the story its summarizing would be really unique despite the fact Fairies are used kind of a lot in fantasy, so it’s Awesome

Heeeey…
So, I kinda wrote a synopsis for my outlined novel. (Yes, I haven’t even started writing the dumb thing yet, but I need a synopsis for… REASONS. *solemn nod* Plus, they’re handy things to have lying around. I’ll change what I have to when the book is finished. So.)
Having never written a synopsis (or anything even remotely resembling a sy…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I mean… as far as superheroes go, they’re not much without special powers.
As far as names go, I have a huge world, and I always need more characters to fill it. Minor characters to surround the main superheroes, more actual superheroes, names for the characters I’ve created but haven’t given names to yet, everything! I named a…[Read more]
