Might be my little sister. she loves plants so much she has nightmares about trees burning

I simply picking the title to depict what the story actually is.

Eigria is the fictional world my characters living in. I have a few drafts set in the world (so the titles will begin in "Eigria:"). Some of these characters actually connected to other stories, or what happened in one story has a bit significance in another.

Lume is taken from Latin, means "light", but also can mean "world". It is an alternative I took. It used to be titled as "свет" (romanized as Svet), which means "light", "world", and I found out some stated also means "blessed" and "holy" (cmiiw, I knew this word solely based from internet, if any Russian-speaking native).

I changed it because I am not Russian and afraid if anyone thinks I am one. The story also not set in Russia (although sure it is cold too in Valria). Also, свет would be hard to type in search bar.

Here's my series, if any of you interested:

My little comic's title is kind of self-explanatory. It's about quail having adventures on a starship... so my characters demanded that it be called Space Quail!

Alternative titles I use for this project:

  • Space Quail: A Strange Space Webcomic
    (Because it's part of my "Strange Space" universe, technically being written and drawn by one of the characters in the books I write)

  • The Adventures of Captain Coturnix and the Space Quail
    (This is the long-form title that my characters in the books know the series as.)

My graphic novel is about 4 different characters and their different disabilities. The name of my book is Abilities which is "Disabilities" but without the "Dis".

Long long ago, in an era unknown to today's youth, this old man had a thought. Both the character and the title were born, in part, from dissatisfaction. I was an aging young man who preferred to leave youth behind in favor of solid maturity. (My Dad always said I was born an old man.) Anyway, the fact that books, movies, and TV series were catering mainly to the young irked me. I drew on my hitchhiking experience and imagined an older man who traveled, not the highways and byways, but the galactic net.

I was not quite a hobo, as that era had just passed. I considered myself neither a transient nor homeless, but more of an adventurous wanderer. I was a bum, so the title became The Space Bum. The thought germinated over the decades, until after I was on Tapas, I wrote The Space Bum.

To tell the truth, my character debuted in an early work that I began and never finished. Later in life, I found the hand-written pages of my first Besh incarnation. I write it now as a prequel to The Space Bum series. I took my character in many different directions, but he remains a bum, an adventurous traveler.

I had great joy writing The Space Bum, then, The Old Man, and finally Htohmar Har. Now, I am writing The Regret as an account of one of his many travels as a young man.

So the idea behind this title was spit balled between me and my partner on this project. we really wanted a titled that reflected the story's themes: fairy tales and silence, balancing perceptions of childishness with adulthood, and hinting towards the quiet nature of the male lead as well. This is definitely going to be a bit of an unusual story, as a lot of conversations are going to end up a bit more like monologs, because he doesn't tend to be able to respond to people when they're talking to him.

This is the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page:

Orbital decay is a gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods. These orbiting bodies can be a planet and its satellite, a star and any object orbiting it, or components of any binary system. If left unchecked, the decay eventually results in termination of the orbit when the smaller object strikes the surface of the primary; or for objects where the primary has an atmosphere, the smaller object burns, explodes, or otherwise breaks up in the larger object's atmosphere; or for objects where the primary is a star, ends with incineration by the star's radiation (such as for comets). Collisions of stellar-mass objects are usually accompanied by effects such as gamma-ray bursts and detectable gravitational waves.

Basically, its a scientific term that describes the phenomenon of two orbiting bodies that eventually will end up collapsing. And my story is both about weird space phenomenons and an orbital ring around the Earth but also I like to think about it as people orbiting each other, as their relationships ultimately colliding either by evolving into something bigger or destroying one or the two.

Idk it felt very fitting and there's some sort of inevitability to it that I really like it. I was going to call it Even Horizont (the point of no return when orbiting a black hole) but there's a movie with that name so I decided to change it. It would have fitted too, but I think Orbital Decay is a better one

We're on the second book now, again the title was made through a lot of spit balling, but i wanted to reflect the idea of fragility and riches, especially given the sort of prince-ish status of my male lead.

As i've described once, the idea is sort of that "Everything perfect is inherently fragile."

The title of my book is a line from a song by an Australian band called Silverchair. The title of the song is "Ana's Song (Open Fire)" and it's about the lead singers struggle with anorexia. As my book uses the framework of a gay romance to explore my own personal experience struggling with anorexia, I felt the line "Love You to the Bones" would be fitting as it epitomizes the main character's realization that he loves anorexia just as much as he loves his new boyfriend. It's a line that really struck a chord with me as it helped me realize that, at the time, I was very much in love with the emaciated appearance and sense of self-satisfaction that anorexia promised me.

That sounds like an interesting song and concept, though sad. I hope you (and your character) are recovering/have recovered

I have recovered, though my character hasn't. But that's a story/ novel still in the works

It’s called ClockLark, mostly cause I thought it sounded cool lol.
The only logic behind it, was that I wanted to include clocks for p l o t r e a s o n s, and then I just spent a while looking for words that rhymed with “work” since half the bad guys things are just called “Clockwork+adjective+thing”. And lark seemed like a good enough word considering the contents of the comic

My story is called "Split of the Worlds" (original "Weltenbruch" in German). It's referring to the fact that the world of the protagonists is broken apart, in more than one way.

When humankind was growing, some of the angels were fascinated by the darker emotions some humans beared. And how it sometimes is, great power leads to bad effects, so the Mother (the goddess, so to speak) split the realm of the angels apart from that of the humans, to try to protect them. And to protect the angels in the new dimension from further corruption She also seperated the angels and the now formed demons. The White Mountain and the Red Depths can only reach each other at certain times, the closures, when their parts of their world swing back together.
The ways of life of angels and demons are quite different now, and of course both ways are different from the human lifes.

So we have a lot of splits in the world(s) in my story, physical, cultural, spiritual.
Hence the title. :grin:

And I couldn’t ask my friends for help, since those bastards just made penis jokes. Don’t blame them tbh

did you try a rhyming dictionary? they have those online

My comic title '"Gemmoner" is a combination of two words, Gem and Summoner, that fits well with the theme of my story.

The theme of my story is manservant in fantasy. I've searched in the internet and many people believes that gemstones and crystals are connected to a guardian angel. So to make it more creative with that, I'd decided to make the story where humans are able to get their servant by website or by meeting them ( beings who were isekai'd from fantasy world ) wandering in human world. With the gemstone is created, a pact of manservant is formed. A servant represents guardian angel that will be by one's side and protect humans.
