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.

interesting idea to find a guardian angel online lol, but there are sites for everything these days.

@Leyelle Yes. Please check out my comic, it may be only 2 chapters, but if I can get more chapters done it will be more interesting and you may like it ( I hope ) .

The World Dragon: The Masked Warrior
The World Dragon is actually a title name I had for over 10 years, it was used for the many older stories like "The Last World Dragon". Now it's used as a main title for the many recent stories as they take place in the same realm.
Now The Masked Warrior part, I actually struggled coming up for a title for Yul and Tian's story. Yul works in a restaurant while Tian works in a pottery shop. At first I thought about their jobs as something but hard to get something to click and it was a bit endless with the thinking.
Then I had the thought, a lot of story has Yul being fixated over Tian's mask. A person wearing a decorative mask in the region usually signifies a warrior status so "The Masked Warrior" came to life.

It is a term I made up to make fun of conflicts that are solved by fighting. But it bacame endearing to me over the years

For example:
"Our hero is attacked by 3 goons, how will he get out of this one"
"He does some Wushi Wushi and beats them up"

¨12 corações" (12 hearts)
its because the comic have 12 protagonists (one for cap)
one heart = one guy
12 hearts = they all
and they born in diferent months
its simple lmao, but i like
