Title Meme from china_shop

I haven't posted in forever, not really knowing what to say. So here, have a meme.

from here

Look at the most recent 20 fanwork titles on your AO3 account.

1. How many are you happy with?
7

2. How many are... not great?
the rest.

3. How many did you scramble for at the last minute?
This is not something I generally do. I usually have a working title while I'm writing. Sometimes it's a good title and I keep it, sometimes it's just okay and I keep it anyway because I can't think of anything else.

4. How many did you know before you started writing/creating, or near the beginning?
I knew immediately that I Sing the Body Electric was going to be the title of my android fic. For Murder and Macaroni Art, the title came first courtesy of my friend MrsRidcully.

5. How many are quotes from songs or poems?
10

6. How many are other quotes?
The rest are mostly one-word titles I plucked out of the air.

7. Which best reflects the plot of the story/content of the fanwork?
Prayers to a Lesser God is pretty much literally how the story starts: Peter's grasping at straws, praying to every deity he's ever heard of to save him and his pack from the fire.

8. Which best reflects the theme of the story/fanwork?
Keep You Like An Oath, I think? idk, I'm not big on themes and such, or at least not at pointing them out in my own works.

9. Which best reflects the character voice of the story/POV of the fanwork?
Let the Light In, I think? But it's more of me talking to the POV character. YOU DESERVE GOOD THINGS, DEREK.

10. Which is your favourite?
Murder and Macaroni Art. Not only is it a good title that reflects the dual nature of Peter's life in the story, but the story itself is just. I love it so much?

Aww I hope you’re doing oki, these are odd times so it is hard to know what to say at times

I’ve seen this around a few times, but I’m not sure I’d do it myself

Tiring is usually the hardest part for me, I’ll have something noted down sometimes but often when it comes time to post I’m just ???

Oh no, that sounds awful. Why are conservatives so damn loud? *shoos them*

I'm glad to see you even if you think you have nothing to say.
