Fanfic Meme - Day 17 – Titles – Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
They're terrible. But not as bad as summaries. As I said yesterday, if I'm stuck I can just use poetry or song lyrics. And I'm frequently stuck. Not least of all because my tendency to give fics temporary titles. Which are frequently terrible jokes, that I then find hard to get rid of later. As an example Aren't You Glad You Didn't Tell? was nearly stuck with "Ice, Ice Baby" as a nickname.
I probably shouldn't be allowed to name my fics.
For the same reason, I tend not to name the chapters of fics.

Re: the rest of yesterday's post - I should have added grumpy to the list of zombie features. I'm so much more cheerful and easier to deal with when I have sugar.
