30 Days - day 17
Jul. 17th, 2011 12:53 pm17 – Titles – Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
I find titles to some extent much easier than summaries, so loathe them significantly less. This is probably helped by the fact that two of my fandoms have something of a naming quirk that makes titles a bit easier - the episodes for UNCLE and WWW were respectively 'The ..... Affair' and 'The Night of .....' and so I try to follow suit when naming fics in those fandoms if at all possible.
In other fandoms, I get a lot of titles from poetry or quotes (usually courtesy of Google) but would avoid chapter titles like the plague they are. ;)
