ravensweptHey, that could be a title.
I just spent the better part of an hour staring blankly at a Word doc, trying to make words appear without my doing anything. My trials have bore no fruit, but I shall continue unhindered.
What I did come up with, however, are several titles of stories. Stories of what, I couldn't tell you. That's all that appeared, and really I don't need to focus too much energy on any of these. The names were just fun to come up with. Ironically enough, however, I still can't come up with something that sounds good for the ever labelled Noir story.
- A Disaster of Moments
- FollowThrough
- Fatal Mortality
- Volume of Elements
- Silent as Thunder
- The Infinity Cannon
- King of Second Firsts
- Scarred
- Demon From Heaven followed of course by
- Angel From Hell
- Reverse
- Never'd
Some seem interesting, some I'm really tempted by, and then there are the ones that I feel nothing for. Those are my favorites, because they want nothing from me.
*Edit*:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
limiinal had the most excellent idea of viewing this as a Rorschach test, which lends itself ideally into a new meme. SO; have you're own go at it. Based just on the titles, what genre or basic idea do you see each title bearing? Write it next the title, then tag someone else. Feel free to add new titles should you come up with one.
