types of fic titles

kuonyahiro:

  1. title is a literal description of the story (”5 times x did y”, “first kiss”, etc)
  2. perfect formatting, title is evocative of the story’s main themes
  3. song lyrics
  4. 3 feet long all lowercase (overlaps w/ song lyrics)
  5. one word. only one.
  6. title seemingly has nothing to do w/ the content of the story until it gets dropped during a high-tension dramatic scene 70k words in, making you feel like the world meant for you to be born in time to read it
