    I've been working on this story on and off, and probably started it sometime during the summer. The basics to the plot:

    The main character is a girl that's unhappy with her body and thinks that because she's not pretty, she doesn't deserve to be loved. She is also facing the fact that if she doesn't perform community service over the summer, she'll have to repeat her senior year of high school. She chooses the community service which involves her volunteering at a carnival. She meets Edwain.

    Edwain got into a car accident a year or so ago that left him paralyzed from the waist down, and the only survivor of a crash involving four other people. He's adjusting to life in a wheelchair, but still trying to carry on as if nothing had happened. One way or another he ends up meeting Holly, and he's interested. In short, the story revolves around them teaching the other how to move on and accept themselves.

    I came up with Color My World for the title, but I don't feel right about it. Could anyone help me out?

    I'm having trouble coming up with a title for an unposted story I'm working on. At the moment, I'm just using the name "Verschwinde von Hier" (''Vanish from Here'), but it doesn't fit the story at all.

    Basically, it's about newly discovered "creatures" that people having started to keep as pets. The creatures look like people, but downsized to about 4-5 centimeters tall. (Think of the Minimoys from "Arthur and the Invisibles.")

    Does anybody have any better ideas for a name?

    Ahk. Erin and I are starting a co-write together. We have a plot. We have characters. We're excited as fffff but we cannot for the life of us...come up with a title. :/ Any help? :)

    So, it's pretty much about two people who have been friends since high school, they're well into their twenties and such. They've both got partners. One's possibly engaged, the other is married and expecting. They start to feel distant from their partners, due to work and other things, and they find comfort in each other. After a night of cheap wine and yearning, they sleep together and then it's up to them to sort everything out. :)

    I just thought: 'Friends and Cheap Wine.' Any improvements? Please and thank you. :)

    ^ Maybe something like Reunion? But that wouldn't really make sense if they've kept in touch. Think

    ^ That could work. I just thought, 'Reunions over Cheap Wine.' (I should have added in the plot up there...one character has been away for at least four years). It could work. :)

    The Chronicles of Andrainea: The Beginning

    Could use some help with coming up with a more original title than what I got. It is basically a story about a young woman who gets captured by the government, forced into genetic alteration experiments, and other crazy, painful things. It is book 1 of 3 book. This one is probably the most dark and sinister of the 3. So, yeah. Any help is appreciated.

    Lisa Cannon: Chronicles in the title might fit very good if slightly changed.

    The Chronicles of Andrainea: Darkness Falls?
    or maybe it could just be Darkness Falls, and in the other books change Falls for another word.
    Lets say in the second she frees herself: -Darkness Flights-, just an example.

    Thank you! That is something more along the lines of what I have been wanting. I am not sure why I didn't think of it in the first place! *heart*

    Guys! I need help.

    I have no idea what to title my story, hence being here.
    It's based on this song.
    (Samson, by Regina Spektor if you can't be bothered to listen.)

    It's a Rydon. About how much Bden loves Ryan. He's sort of falling apart 'cos all he wants to do is help Ryan.

    The story is based on these lyrics, the first verse of the song: "You are my sweetest downfall
    I loved you first, I loved you first
    Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    I have to go, I have to go
    Your hair was long when we first met."

    Here's a small part of the story, if it helps:
    "We fit together, Ryan. Not like a jigsaw piece or two pieces of a heart, or anything else cliché. We needed to be planned, put to paper, measured, cut out, filed down and then, when that didn’t work, the plans were redrawn. And we started again. No, we’re not a jigsaw. We were blueprints. We are architecture.".

    I seriously don't have much of an idea for the title.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Lisa Cannon: Your welcome, hope that helps

    M. Hatter: To go along with the lyrics of the song it could be a small phrase of it like "Sweetest Downfall" but not a whole sentece because that ruins the quality of the title.

    Another few that I thought of : "How We Belong", "Where We Belong" , "Our Conception", or just "Conception"

    The word conception has many meanings besides giving birth:

    origination; beginning:
    a design; plan.
    a sketch of something not actually existing
    the act or power of forming notions, ideas, or concepts.

    That is what I came up with. ^^;

    jurini. > Tiny Pets, Little Pests, Wee World, It's Good to be Small, Tiny Magic, Little Horrors

    I have no idea which direction you are going with it, but those popped into my mind.

    I need title help again! In Love

    I am basically needing a new title for this story: A Kiss That Bites

    Basically the story is about a Lycki (werwolves) and how one of them falls in love with this woman who has an unknown past. When I first developed the title, I was going to have the main male character bite the main female character and basically turn her into a Lycki. However, plot bunnies abound, the story veered from that direction! So, the title no longer fits and I think more along the lines of "vampire" than werewolf. However, I don't want a cliche title like, "Full Moon Madness" or "Howler Next Door". I would love something a bit more unique.

    Here is the summary to said story (if it helps):

    He was to be the king of all the Pure Lycki until betrayal stripped him of his crown. Now over 1,500 years have passed and he has settled into a remote area of Colorado. Hoping to escape his past and live out the rest of his miserable life. However, one chance in encounter will bring back old pains and bring his past back to haunt him. Will he over come this and find true love?

    She was an ordinary woman living in the heart of the south until that fateful day her friends whisked her off on a vacation. There she runs into a man that will not only break her free from herself, but just may be the key in unlocking a past that she knew nothing about. Will she fall in love with this man or will she forever hate him for what he is?

    I need some help with a title for a story

    Basically it's about a girl who doesn't know who her real family is and lives with a family of werewolves only to find out that her 'race' of people are actually at war with werewolves and she has to choose if she is going to help save her new family or help her people kill the werewolves.

    If you want a better description I can give on to you. The title I have is Supernaturally Evil - but it seems a bit stupid and I can't think of anything else for it. Thanks for the help in advance.

    UPDATE
    I have figured out a new name for this story - but if you still want to suggest some, your more than welcome

    I really need a title. It's for a short story for a contest, a P!ATD fic. Right now it's titled The Rest of His Life, but I don't really like that much so…

    The basic plot is that Ryan died on the day the band got signed. And Brendon is sort of… insane in this story. So while Ryan was alive, they spent a lot of time going over the lyrics and stuff together, since Ryan wrote them but Brendon sang them, and Brendon grew kind of obsessed with analyzing the words. So now that Ryan's dead, Brendon starts hearing them again, and he freaks out and everything. And at the very end of the story, it's implied that he's in a hospital.

    So. It's a little strange and I have no clue what to call it. Facepalm

    I'm renaming my story And You're a Star because it sounds like a bad anime series, but I don't know what to rename it to.

    It takes place in 1999, and it's about a dude who wants to do everything on his bucket list before he thinks Y2K will end the world. It's pretty upbeat and the main character/narrator is an airhead. I was thinking something like Wicked Fresh or something along those lines (using a slang term), only not as ridiculously corny...

    ^ I thought of "Before I Kick The Bucket". Which is kind of corny. But it kind of refers to the bucket list and whatnot. Weird
    edit: nevermind, I sorted it out tehe

    I was thinking something along the lines of The List or Bucket List as well. The story is too lighthearted for it to be anything melodramatic like BEFORE THE END or some crap referencing the apocalypse, so... I dunno, that's all I got.

    Oh and also, Kevin is not and airhead! tehe
