#all these titles were good though!

[whenthegoldrays]

For the fanfic title ask! (I know I sent three, but just do whatever calls out to you of the three (pardon the titles - I didn’t feel as creative as I thought I would be)). Hold me close (and let me shatter)

Constellations, Hesitations

The cadence of my heart (and how it echos your name)

thanks so much for the ask! <3

Constellations, Hesitations

Fandom: Mansfield Park

Pairing: Fanny Price x Edmund Bertram

It’s a lovely spring night at Mansfield. The Crawfords’ names haven’t been spoken here in years, everything is peaceful, and Fanny couldn’t be happier that Edmund is staying over for the night. She thinks nothing of it when he asks her to go stargazing in the garden with him, just like they always used to.

Edmund does not seem nearly as calm or untroubled as she does.

Or, the night things changed.

i survived the movie premiere and i only had a few sightings which is very good but . i feel like i just got beat up. in an alleyway idk there is no other way to describe what i'm feeling rn. the movie was about just some guy who quits his lame cashier job and then struggles to find a job he actually likes (me). who loves to watch movies, who loves to go to a cinema and who prefers to sit in the last row and who wants to eat popcorn (me)(since this was an estonian film he was talking about THE exact cinema i go to btw)(there are so many other cinemas here). who wanted to go and study something creative but then just.. didn't (me). who does nothing all day long (me). who feels like every opportunity has already passed and that it's too late to really pick up anything now because it's just way too fucking embarrassing (me). who feels like he has nothing to offer (me). and who feels like he's just an interesting "hello" and nothing more (me).

extra (me) points for when he and his girlfriend went to hang out with her father and then after it he went "i think it's amazing how well you get along with your dad" . as if that isn't something i have said .. countless times before😭😭😭

psst... how on earth do you come up with fic titles????

tbh i also want to know how to come up with fic titles😓

I honestly couldn’t decide whether or not this was actually asking my advice since I feel like my titles are kind of weak and they are also the absolute last thing i add when publishing my fics since i never want to come up with one but if it IS a genuine request the way i do it is usually by going one of three routes (using examples from my own fics):

1) Descriptive - if you can condense the plot down into a few words do it essentially. It’s like taking the summary and making it even smaller kind of.

Example: one of my naruto fics is called ‘Joke-Married’ because it’s literally just about them getting married as a joke, i like this method cause it’s easy, simple, and i know the title makes sense and isn’t too funky

2) Direct Quote - love this method why come up with a title when you already came up with so many words in the actual fic? Pretty much you just pick out a short and significant line (preferably one that doesn’t spoil an important moment or anything) that highlights a theme or important plot point.

Examples: My ace attorney fic ‘it looks cool’ makes sense since its title is a recurring and significant line in the story. Conversely, my bsd fic ‘When was the last time you slept?’ only has that line in it once but it’s already clueing the reader into the plot - a character is tired and gets some sleep🤷‍♀️ again it ensures the title is relevant and can also work as a hook, I also suck at descriptions and use directly quoted sections for those a lot too

3) The Vibes™️ - idk how to explain this it’s kind of just picking out a saying or phrase that matches the fic’s vibes, it runs a bit of a risk of the title becoming a bit irrelevant though so I don’t use it often, usually just when I wanna be a little artsy or dramatic

Example: my bsd fic ‘slowly but surely’ is probably the best example from my fics, it’s a common phrase and although it isn’t used in the fic it fits because that ones like a falling in love over time kinda deal idk how else to say it but that it matched The Vibes™️ to me

Also Moe gender notes/lore:

It has a more masc leaning identity, and typically uses masculine language/titles but more like. For fun. Like the way you say "SIR." at a misbehaving cat. It will also call itself a man ESP if it's funny. Also I've been toying w it liking the terms "boyfriend"/"boytoy" for itself, which is a very funny combination w Alfonse (in my mind) preferring the term "partner" (broadly, but also esp for himself). So like, Moe calling Alfonse "My partner" and Alfonse, On Occasion, ESPP if the situation calls for it, calling Moe "My boyfriend" (still, partner is the preferred term across the board for both of them -- but if we need to clear up the air...)

BUT ALSO! There are at least, so far, Two cases where Moe prefers feminine titles/language!

One was initially a misunderstanding but it ultimately ended up preferring the term anyway, with "cleric" (one comic idea is to resolve this castle dialogue):

LIBRA.... I WOULD NEVER .......... (Moe didn't realize "cleric" was a femme-gendered term, and had already been using it for itself for a while at this point.)

The other title is "seamstress"! That one is a case of Knowing the genderedness of it, but deciding to use it in a nonconforming way (which is eventually how "cleric" ended up). To me Moe uses these in the same vein as a drag queen, if that makes sense!
