So, the good news is that I've finished my Yuletide story.

The bad news is that I don't have a freaking clue what to call the sucker.

::sigh::

I suppose struggling with titles makes me appreciate the few that come easily all the more.

Normally I'd say 'let us help you!' - but, um, I can see a problem with that here :)

Well done on finishing the story though!

I appreciate the offer. :) And I've come up with an adequate title, so that's done and dusted. Yay!

Mmmmhhhh...how about throwing dice? First=page, second=line on that page, third=number of words you choose for a title from that line. Result sucks? Try again until words make a satisfactory title. Ta-daa! *G*

I browsed quote sites for ages last night until I finally came up with an adequate title, not based on any of the quotes I'd found, of course. Next time I'm totally using your dice suggestion. *g*

Congratulations on finishing your fic!

Also, happy birthday :)

Thanks, on both counts! I'm so happy to be finished the fic. Now to decide which of the bazillion WIPs I've got hanging around to dive into next.

It must be the season. I had no idea what to call my DTCA this year. And I'm not at all satisfied with the title I ultimately chose. I hope you have better luck finding a title for your work.

For me, titles are always a hard thing. Maybe one out of ten comes easily, while the rest lead to gnashing of teeth and banging of head against the nearest wall.

Oh, groovy that you did DTCA this year. I contemplated it, but it's a good thing I didn't. I just about had time for Yuletide. There's no way I'd have had time for anything else.

On the other hand, you could be like me, and have a title but no story finished.

Together, we'd go far! (I now have a mediocre title, but at least it's something.)

Good luck with the writing!
