Rorschach Title Meme: November

[ravenswept]

The return of a meme I created I was told to turn into a meme! Hurray! If you missed the last one,

Here's the downlow. There are 5 to 10 random title names I just made up. Your part is to come up with the genre you think that book title. Then, should you choose to continue it, copy and paste this part to your journal and make up your own titles. Wash, rinse, repeat. Have fun!

1. A Good Yarn

2. King Dragon

3. And Together We Perish

4. Twelve Points North

5. Child's Child

6. Crack Shatter Smash

7. One Soul, Spice to Taste

8. Genre World

9. Devil's Proposal

10. Crowded in Solitude

11. Hide Me From Myself

2. King Dragon - Adventure/Fantasy

3. And Together We Perish - Sci-fi apocolypse w/ romance

4. Twelve Points North - Paranormal mystery trilogy (and I just now saw how that could be read two ways)

5. Child's Child - Japanesesque horror

6. Crack Shatter Smash - Modern fairy tale

7. One Soul, Spice to Taste - Urban fantasy

8. Genre World - YA series, creative-type/writer(s) pulled into a ever-changing literary influenced world(s)

9. Devil's Proposal - Some like Death Takes a Holiday, only with the Devil

Oooooh...

1. The first in a series set around a woman who runs a knitting store and solves murder mysteries on the side.

2. Bio-punk novel about mutants who excrete heroin through their sweat and breath.

3. Literary fiction about a man who travels to a desert to die.

4. Steampunk about a street urchin who unwittingly holds the key to the world. Literally.

5. A horror short story.

6. YA novel that retells the Narcissus myth.

7. Short story about Satan taking a cooking class.

8. Fantasy satire.

9. Horror story about a woman who realizes her roommate is a serial killer.

10. New Weird novel about people who wear masks every day, switching out masks as according to societal norms.

11. YA fiction about a girl who learns she had an identical twin who died soon after birth.

1. Ha! Angela Lansbury as the sweet knitting woman!

2. Okay, I'm really curious now how you got that idea from the title.

4. Hehe, he has the keys, but the tank is empty.

7. Do you see the Devil as a bad cook who just can't seem to get a recipe right, or just a guy learning new skills?

10. I just picture Hexidecimal, and that is not a bad thing.

11. Ooh, how do you see her taking that kind of revilation?

[outlineofash]

1. Yesssss.

2. The two-word title beginning with "King" instantly reminded me of China Mieville's King Rat, so my mind was already heading in an unusual direction. "Dragon" then brought to mind the phrase "chasing the dragon", which usually refers to a drug high.

7. A bad cook who can't get a recipe right sounds a lot funnier, so that one. :P ...now I'm tempted to try it.

11. I'm not sure. I suspect she starts to split her life into two, one half for her, the other for her lost twin.

7. Do it!

11. Hmm, I kinda got that she started seeing the twin in hallucinations, accusing her of living while she died, living like she never existed, how she should've died instead, etc.
