larryhammerAnother meme, a fanfic one gacked from moon_custafer:
Look at the most recent 20 fanwork titles on your AO3 account.
Hmm. I only have 10, but it looks like a large enough sample size to try this.
1. How many are you happy with? 8
2. How many are... not great? Two Brothers, Two Weddings, Two Partings is just yuck. Green is thematically accurate in multiple ways but thoroughly bland as advertising.
3. How many did you scramble for at the last minute? *points to first title in previous* I was not on my titling game that Yuletide.
4. How many did you know before you started writing/creating, or near the beginning? All the good ones. Cut-and-Dried Sleeve, the title was the plotbunny.
5. How many are quotes from songs or poems? Only one, and that a riffing misquote -- despite how many of them are poem fics. (The title that is a verse is original.)
6. How many are other quotes? None.
7. Which best reflects the plot of the story/content of the fanwork? Young Agamemnon Sees It Through, which gives you exactly what it says on the tin.
8. Which best reflects the theme of the story/fanwork? A Change of Season. Honorable mention to A Roll of the Dice.
9. Which best reflects the character voice of the story/POV of the fanwork? Mother of Wood Deludes the Monk into Binding the Mind-Ape / Guanyin Puts Her Face in Her Hand. Honorable mention to Cut-and-Dried Sleeve.
10. Which is your favourite? Mother of Wood Deludes the Monk into Binding the Mind-Ape / Guanyin Puts Her Face in Her Hand.
