    dru feels more alone:
    It makes me wonder if scream is a noun or a verb. I get the feeling it's a story with sex, which I appreciate. Coffee

    The Boy with the Protest Sign.

    I like it. It feels straight forward, and yet the title could hide a lot. It could be a literal protest sign or it could be figuratively.

    It sort of implies that Jigsaw is a proper noun, like the name of a place or a person or something, instead of just referencing an actual jigsaw. That's interesting, because it makes you wonder what or who Jigsaw is and the possible significance of the name in relation to actual jigsaws and puzzles. And the whole 'within' part makes it feel like Jigsaw is something to be solved, like an actual jigsaw. I'm probably reading too much into it (Shifty) but I find this title really intriguing.

    Just thinking about the Who-fandom, I automatically thought of The Girl In The Fireplace and the mechincal clockwork droids in that tehe But I love the title. It's intriguing. You could interpret it in so many different ways - it could be literal or metaphorical, like someone's heart isn't feeling anything, just existing and working like clockwork. I'd like to find out it's significance!

    To me it sounds ancient and Latin, actually, as if there's a big myth and a treasure hunt and a dystopia... okay, maybe I'm just rattling off here, but that's what comes to my mind.

    I kind of like this. Burning Lungs makes me think of drowning or a smoke addiction, though. I'm sure once you post it I'll have a better understanding. Its just what first comes to mind.

    I'm not really sure what to think of the name. It sounds like could be an actual book title and it's not something I've heard anything similar to, so it certainly stands out by a mile. It sorts of gives me, like, a raw grunge-like feel.

    I'd pick So Wrong, It's Right over Doesn't Make Sense because So Wrong, It's Right it more mysterious to what the story is actually about, if that makes sense. XD

    I actually meant that it was a completed story title, just with the second half of the title in parentheses. Shifty

    I like it 'cause I understand it even if it's in another language. It gives me imagery of carnival rides and a sort of innocence and definitely seems like a love story.

    That's...interesting as a complete title. It's definitely different, which is good. However, it almost seems redundant, y'know? Especially with the or. I think if you want both those parts to stand as a working title, I'd go with Doesn't Make Sense (So Wrong, It's Right)

    Insanity Is Just A Game We Play

    Working title, and I feel like there's some freaky grammar capitalization going on there...is there a better way to capitalize that title?

    I don't like long titles, it's not my cup of tea. But the better way to capitalize it would be Insanity is Just a Game we Play--but it looks weird either way just because of how long it is.

    I'd do Insanity is Just a Game We Play. I like it. I like that insanity as an extreme, but you couple it with a game and it seems like it could be this manipulation between two characters.

    I like it. It makes me think of broken angel wings and things like that. I mean, you never say broken, but I immediately think of it because I guess I like destruction?

    I don't know...the title kind of makes me title my head to the side. I'm sure it has something to do with the story it just kind of give's me pause and makes me want to read the story just to see how that first word applies.

    I really like it. I love when titles are in different languages. It makes me think of love with Paris, but then the whole carousel makes me think of confusion and repitition and uncertainty. It's intriguing.

    I like it. It gives me a sense of rawness (bones always does), but it could also be romantic, like carrying someone around inside of you. I like how it's a title in first person. I'm not a huge fan of first person narrative, but I love first person titles.

    It's an interesting title. It makes me think of tyrannical monarchs, and the French Revolution. It's also made the song Killer Queen get stuck in my head tehe But I like it.

    I like it and it sounds interesting, but for some reason the word "Wrong" sounds a little off. I love that it has the word Wonderland in it, though, because it reminds me of the Disney film.

    It sounds like something I would read... hopefully that's a good thing, haha. It makes me think of cigarettes, flames, breath, and kisses. As well as a sort of horror-fantasy feeling, because how can lungs be burning? Is it literal or figurative? It makes me wonder. I like that a lot.

    It sounds mysterious and the 'travelling garden' adds the mystery into it, whereas 'The Boy' detracts from it. I love the feel of the title, it just makes it seemk an interesting unique story.
