I'm working on a new project

The title is somehow the trickiest bit, I've been calling it "Tale of the Knight and the Wizard" but that seems a bit wordy to me

So, tumblr, do what you do best and vote on some nonsense:

[cepheusgalaxy]

Types of book titles:

Bought to you by: me trying to figure out a title for my wips and analysing a few existing ones to give me ideas

1. The character name

Easy and efficient. Percy Jackson. Dracula. Septimus Heap. Coraline. Naruto. You get it. Titles like "Name + and + something"/"Name + name" also apply, like Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard or Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

2. Important element to the story

Pretty practical too, gives an idea of what you are talking about. The Locked Tomb (i think? I haven't read it). Star Wars. Etc.

3. Cool title for your character

This one is rlly cool I think. Similar to #1 but here we are giving our main character a sick title that may or may not be included in the story itself. The Death's Heir. The Lord of the Rings (i think. I haven't read lord of the rings). The Red Queen. And so on. Also alludes to your premise and is pretty catchy.

4. Euphemism or metaphor

Similar to #2 but if telling what your story is all about doesn't sound very good directly so we make an euphemism. Let's say your premise is "we killing the evil queen". That doesn't sound very good as a title perhaps so let's euphemism it. "Fall of the Crown" sounds better, BUT if we want we can push it a little more. "The Last Jewel" may be a bit exagerated but if you can title drop that somewhere in your story its good. Making your euphemism reference something that is already in the book also works better for your euphemism.

Examples are like, Red White and Royal Blue (euphemism for the US and the UK and a prince—by referencing the royal and the flag colors—which about sums it up) and Court of Thorns and Roses (metaphor for the whole fae thing and all the conflicts + references the whole nature and spring thing which are reocurring elements)

5. Literally the plot

Around the world in 80 days. Journey to the center of earth. You know the kind. Flourish a bit if you need to, these also work pretty well if you can pull them off.

6. "The song/chronicles/requiem/adventures/tale of (whatever)"

These are generally reserved for fantasy, I think? Either way they are pretty cool. The Song of Achilles. The Kane Chronicles. The Chronicles of Narnia. A Song of Ice and Fire. They aren't very illustrative but they just sound cool.

Examples from here on Tumblr stories:

#1: Kai and Kyriel (the protagonist and the antagonist) or Alex & Friends (you get it)

#2: Starcross (the spaceship the main characters are the crew of) or The Safehouse (the shelter the story takes place in!)

#3: The Ghost of Seattle (the guy is called "the ghost" coz he is sneaky and misterious and the story is in seattle so)

#4: (ok idk any)

#5: Aros Against Fate (the main characters are aromantic and the themes of the story revolve around carving your own path despiste what has been decided for you, be it by the gods or by your parents)

#6: The Paladin Series (the main villain is called Paladin and yea you get it)

Examples from anime too since we're at it:

#1: Naruto (you know him)

#2: Magi (a very rare type of magician with a bit of mistery ab their origin that surrounds the shows)

#3: Tokyo Revengers

#4: Pandora Hearts (i guess?)

#5: I reincarnated as a slime/with a smartphone/as the seventh prince (all those isekai tbh)

#6: The Adventures of Sinbad

#???: DanDaDan

(anime in general goes by a few different rules actually nevermind)

And that's. That's it I guess?

May I ask you How to come up with a name for your comic book when nothing useful comes to mind. 😞

This is a good question, I’m not a professional by any means, but I’ve managed to accumulate a good amount of knowledge from having my own trouble with this

This is a very subjective choice, some people choose to name it after their main character, see BBC’s Sherlock or Enola Holmes.

Some do that but add another bit that either describes the story or the side characters, see Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Some are named after the main group, see Animorphs or The Avengers

Some are a title that hints at the main character, see Monkie Kid, The Great Mouse Detective or God of War

Some hint at what they’re doing, see my title, The 14 Year Journey

Some are eye catching and have you wanting answers on what the story is about, see Good Omens or Disco Elysium

And some are statements that speaks to the story itself, see Our Flag Means death

It really depends on that you as an author want to tell, what the tone of your story is, and what expectations you want to set for your readers with the tone of your title

Don’t be afraid to experiment and ask the people around you for opinions on what you’ve come up with. Whole at the end of the day it’s your story, sometimes asking other people’s opinions can get you a good perspective on your work. You got this!

Hey everyone! So uh— like I said yesterday that my friend (@sy3ra) and I have a plan to write a book using our fandom OCs (which is The Sandman, yeah 😓)

I would like to ask for your help in choosing book titles since we couldn't decide one because my friend said that all the titles are too beautiful (I literally burned the whole ass kitchen/J)

+ except for the last one, that was my other friend's suggestion teehee :33

EDIT: guys, i forgot to mention that our book itself is more like highschool romance (and the settings is not in the realm of Morpheus anyways/J 😭)

EDIT #2: okay nvm, we've already chose a title and we're really being indecisive, my bad T__T
