True

Well, when I listed the chapters on the OP of the thread, some didn't have titles, so I was anal and made titles for the ones I'd been lazy with before


they do help me knew which chapter is which at a glance, though, I agree

I don't even write in chapters... I post in chapters, yes, but I don't write in chapters. So I just have to find a name for the story

I start writing a story and then I post part of it and then maybe I continue writing or I abandon it... It's really weird. But I have to finish "Someone that you're with" for Jessie

A line from poetry/prose in my massive quotes archive. Or I'll use part of a line from the work itself (more frequent).

You'll get it, Nonna! *yay for deals*


For the name of my series, not the individual chapters, I used part of a line that the actor said in an interview. It just felt right for the name of the whole story

I agree, if a line gets repeated a lot in your story it would be a good idea to use it as a title.

or maybe also a line from something that one of the character's says, that is important, and hints at the theme of the chapter/story

I loved the title "The Bucket List" for that movie. It fit wonderfully, because the whole movie was about that list of things they wanted to accomplish before they died.

I almost always use a song title as my fic title Mainly when I write, I'm always listening to music so whatever I'm listening to, kinda bleeds into what I'm writing and has something from the song-related in it.

Or sometimes, they came to me out of no where. I think I've changed the title of my story once but I let my readers know the title was only temp. until I could think of something more fitting. The title now, just kinda hit me out day

But I hate really long title, like I feel out of breath just saying it, lol.

I don't like really long titles, either. To the point is better

I kind of like plays on words, too
