Title Formulations

[minoanmiss]

So I need some ideas.

My ficlets last year used the same title template, "How To X", where X was the unique part of the title.

I want to do the same thing but with a different template, and the only thing I can think of right now is "The One Where..." but I've done that in the past.

So, may I have a different idea?

Thank you a lot. :)

"It's..."

As in, "It's Rex!" or "It's The Super Bowl!" Or, "It's A Tragedy Of Epic Proportions" or "It's Batman's Comeuppance," or what have you.

Well there's the old standby One Time... or Five Times....

That Time When....

When X Did Y...

[minoanmiss]

In Which... - I always love using that for summaries, the wackier the better.

[minoanmiss]

Oh, that's right, "In Which", that's a good version to use, thank you!

Bwee :)

[sabotabby]

What about that Youtube trend of calling it "A Brief Look At" and then the video is like 6 hours long?

[minoanmiss]

When I finally write my 100K fan novel I'll give it that title.
