It depends. Like, if it's cheesy or there's spelling mistakes, then yes. I'll usually always click, just to see, but ... Titles are important. But some people like simples ones, while I like prettier ones, even if they're pretenious, lol.

I really like simple ones. I love one word titles even though they're often contrived.

Those ones are very blah to me. I don't know, like if they meet at summer school or something, I would never name it "Summer School" or anything of the sort.

PS: If I see one more fic that has Spashley as vampires or something else supernatural ...

I'd never do that. I like one word titles that have meaning to the plot, but I see where you're coming from, Brit. That'd be annoying.

I don't dislike short ones or anything, I just like titles that are fancy and sound cool. I guess I'm just used to OTH episode titles.

I don't like ones that are named after dumb song lyrics or cliche song lyrics.

Song lyrics are my favorite, but only good ones. Not cliche, like ~Bleeding Love or whatever. And I'm sick of the two random things thrown together, like Erratic Heartbeats & Index Cards. I know they both ended up having something to do with the story, so it's semi okay, but similiar ones like that.

I'm okay with that. I don't like titles that don't live up to that greatness. Like the title looks so interesting and good and I read the story and it's terrible.

Definitely. Hiding a crappy fic behind a good title is totally uncool. Hiding a good fic behind a crappy title is equally as uncool, though, since I might not read it then!

What I like is for the fic title to be very simple and for the chapter titles to be long and wordy. I'm okay with that.

But you're right. Hiding a good fic in a crappy title is pretty suck. But neither of us will know because we won't read it! lol

If I'm really bored I will. I only tend to see chapter titles on ff.net. Or if people have the names in the subheading on the forum.

I liked that. I think WIAA had something like that but I wasn't as affected.

Yeah. And weren't they posted in the actual chapters too?
