Fic Titles
Feb. 8th, 2008 03:47 amSo I am clearing out the back log of fics I have to read (I have 163 emails/alerts to follow up on yet) and I've noticed a trend.
Time Travel Fics - Especially Naruto - are named Second Chance, Second Chances, or Another Chance. In fact, about a third to half of the time travel fics have the word chance in the title.
Alternate Universes - Tend to have the words Alternate, Twist, Change, or Parallel in them
Crack Pairings - These tend to have things like Fate, Dream, Guess, or New in their titles
So I've decided, as bad as my titles are, at least they are semi-original. Except for Remembrance and my Song Title fics - those need to be taken out and shot. But the others aren't as bad. I hope at least.
And I will never name a fic Second Chances no matter what. Seriously, there are literally over 2,000 fics with that title on FF.net, 92 of which are in the Naruto fandom. That is waaaaaaay too many.
