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

Ha ha, that makes scenes, in the scenes they always move super fast wushi wushi :))

This story began coming to me when I was a teenager. Crazy to think how it's stuck around this long... I finally started fleshing it out and writing it during the pandemic, and I'm so excited to be sharing here on Tapas!

Lyfay is a made up word that essentially means to me "the land of the fay." In my case, elves.

Guardians of Creation came about later as I realized that a made up word wouldn't mean much to people, so I wanted to give more context. The elves in my story preserve and protect nature, but are struggling against the forces of the world's society and greed. The story touches on various real-world issues with a fantasy (and romance) twist.

I'm so stoked for my third book of the Damsel in the Red Dress series and it's title, but I can't spoil that now, so I just say that for both the books of the series so far, every chapter titles has revolved around a consistent theme.

For book one it was color. Makes sense, the female lead is a painter, so we get chapter titles like "Sticky Black." "Sanguine Thread" "Chess with Cinnabar Pawns." "White Hole" and "Lurid."

The second books chapter titles will be harder to take seriously because of their nature, they are all named after things revolving around, relating to, or associated with children. Hence we have chapter titles like "Playing House" "Plastic Armor" "A Spoonful of Sugar." "Dolls" "Freeze Tag" and "Peekaboo."

I feel like the further I get into "Sun with a Paper Crown" the more details about childhood I think of to use for chapter titles. It goes beyond things like games and lullabies, to ideas like "Babble" "Tantrum" "Snow Man" and such. It's fun to think if the way these ideas can be attributed to what takes place in each chapter, and I wonder how many of my readers have tried to figure out the context behind the less obvious ones.

a version of the re-made chapter! Come check and leave comments, likes and share (yes on webtoon too)

Well "Rigamarole" is named that for a number of reasons, but the primary reason is the idea of random gibberish and nonsense. Since the story is written from random words in the dictionary, I had to figure out how to put all the chaos together into something that makes sense. Hence, rigamarole.

This is available for free for everyone to read on my Patreon public posts

It randomly came to me when I was in either 7th or 8th grade lol. I was walking with my friend, telling them about my manga idea and it literally just popped up in my head!
That was over 17 years ago :flushed:

The title "The Kitten and Its White Canvas" came after a couple of glasses of wine and a time staring at the storyboard I finished :joy::joy:

But hey, there's meaning! The "White Canvas" refers to the schoolboy - Addai - whose daily life was colored in monochromatic hues. The "White" refers to how colorless his life was despite his tries in art classes. The Kitten came to paint new colors - emotions - into the boy's life, painting on his Life's Canvas by offering him a flower a day (I used the Canvas analogy due to his art classes).
That's it!:heart:

that's sweet though, and it does form an interesting concept of the story

That's so cool... I love the delayed gratification of the meaning of a title finally clicking into place like a puzzle piece.

17 years ago! I've been developing my story for a long time, too, over 10 years. I think it's awesome that we're finally putting our dream on the page, making it real.

Right!
I didn’t actually start putting the pen to the pad until 2020!
I’m so excited for the future!

The name is kind of a double entendre for both the initial plot of the story and also the thought process of me creating the strip in the first place, which I thought was kind of cool Lmao!! The Experiment

My story is about three characters who will go through life either learning to permit themselves to move on from their past or not! So, pretty simple then, "Permitted".

The title of this story existed before I wrote it. It's actually a line in the song evermore by Taylor Swift. I had the idea when I kept listening to it and the line always stuck with me. Then, bam! I wanted to write a bittersweet story about it and here it is :))

Curious about the Poppy Contract? Find more about it in this chapter released just this week in Letter Addressed To The Fire!

Letter Addressed To The Fire is a story told in letters, diaries, journals, documents, and the likes, aside from the main characters' thoughts. It is a story about prodigies of rival groups finding solace in one another without knowing who the other really is. It is a bittersweet story that speaks about finding gentleness amidst a cruel world.

Thank you!

I actually have a few stories where the chapter titles are named after songs, so this is always interesting to me. stories with titles and such inspired by songs seems to be a pretty popular thing amongst writers

(post withdrawn by author, will be automatically deleted in 24 hours unless flagged)

I did get help from a friend on the title, but its still directly tied to my story's concept! Since my comic is based on a borrower who was caught by a human and held captive in a fish tank. The borrower is also obsessed with the fine china in the humans dollhouse in the attic! So "Fine China and Glass Walls" seemed to be the best fit!

this sounds horrible, i hope she gets free

For "Complex Love," the idea behind the title is straightforward. The relationship between the main leads - Mine Karawaga and Addai Lee-Hobb - is formed among the mess made by their encounter. Mine has a lot on his back and struggles to regain his memories and control his dangerous Alter Ego called "Chronos." Addai hides his identity from the others once his "roots" are eager to claim him back for unknown purposes.
Their relationship is sweet and supportive, but the things they buried in the sands of time are effortlessly coming to light as they get to know each other better :heart:

My comic comes from the fact that my name means "young wolf " abnd when i was a kid my father got me a frame with a beautiful white wolf howling in the bright snow, he told me that was me so i became fascinated with my name and with werewolves, after many years i created some characters, i got them toghether from anoher stories i had and the main cast of the comic was done, now these characters are very beloved my me.

Imma be so real. I’m so proud of my title. I remember coming up with it and the just sitting in it for a while with pure pride.
So it’s about the worst possible thing to happen on your first day of school and the main character’s name is Casey
Worst Case Scenario
R I G H T
Pun and all, I love it
