The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

[Hailey Knight]

Finished revisions of 2017 novel! Thanks to overtime and exhaustion from work, it only took an entire 11 months, but reaching that point feels like an excellent start to 2018. Now I just need to graduate it from having a working title.

I'm thinking of self-publishing one of my last couple projects that's been gathering dust on my hard drive, most likely the weirder more personal one. But that needs a new title too.

 

[strawman]

@ZeroEsc try "Warriors of the Lost Ones" and "Intention Without a Goal".

I know, I know, they probably have little to do with the content, but clickbait has shown us quite clearly that people don't really care about that, and if anyone asks you can simply state enigmatically, "It's part of the mystery."

Blogging started in 1997, so it is possible it was out there somewhere. Congrats Blots, happy that your team is back.

Also, I'm pretty sure someone has sarcastically tweeted it in the past.

Hey @Zero Esc just calling out @stienman ’s post above.

It's nice knowing y'all have my back.

 

[PatrThom]

If only it would properly parse apostrophes.

Thanks!

In that case, I've got it: A Novel. I've seen it on other book covers so it must work for them.

 

[Gruebeard]

I think @PatrThom's wrong about apostrophes.

 

[strawman]

I've found that if I type in the name manually without using the autocomplete, @Gruebeard, then I have to surround it with spaces to have any chance of having it correctly done.

However, if I wait for autocorrect, select the name, then add punctuation it works ok.

I'm on a terrible internet connection, though, and the system just isn't that efficient at giving me quick suggestions when I use @.[DOUBLEPOST=1514837795,1514837763][/DOUBLEPOST]But it appears I'm wrong! That one went through fine.

Who knows anymore![DOUBLEPOST=1514837829][/DOUBLEPOST]@Gruebeard's probably right?

Autocomplete?

I forgot that existed after using a tablet for so long.

Just put "Star Wars: " in front of it. Even works for classics:

Star Wars: Great Expectations
Star Wars: Crime and Punishment
Star Wars: How the Grinch Stole Christmas

 

[Cheesy1]

Star Wars: The Joy of Sex

 

[Gruebeard]

Star Wars: The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

 

[WasabiPoptart]

Star Wars: The Black Prism

 

[blotsfan]

Star Wars: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

 

[PatrThom]

I think @PatrThom's wrong about apostrophes.

I’ve noticed that it makes up its own rules depending on whether you’re on tablet, desktop, mobile, etc.

Star Wars, Episode VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Wars: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
Star Wars: Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving With a Sith

—Patrick

 

[Gruebeard]

Star Wars, Episode VI: The Undiscovered Country

Where Episode V is definitely not the best of the bunch.

"I ... am God!"
"That's not true...that's impossible!"

[Sparhawk]

Star Wars: Mad Max Thunder Road

 

[Gruebeard]

Why'd y'all switch to movies?

Star Wars: The City of Smoke and Mirrors: An Armadillo Mystery

 

[PatrThom]

Dill probably wouldn't look at all out of place in Mos Eisley.

[Cheesy1]

Star Wars: The Big Book Of Lesbian Horse Stories

 

[Gruebeard]

Wtf?!?

 

[Cheesy1]

Wtf?!?

[Hailey Knight]

Great, I jotted down about sixty potential titles, most of which I hate, and now I've got to write Star Wars in front of each one to keep up with these suggestions in these changing times.

 

[Sparhawk]

Star Wars: Debbie Does Dallas

 

[Gruebeard]

Star Wars: Debbie Does Dallas

Who shoots first in that one?

 

[figmentPez]

Star Wars: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Star Wars: The Scarlet Letter
Star Wars: The Lost Princess of Oz

 

[GasBandit]

Star Wars: The Machiavellian's Guide to Womanizing.

 

[DarkAudit]

Who shoots first in that one?

Oswald.

 

[Sparhawk]

and now time for a horror movie...

Star Wars: Episode 2.5: Twilight: 50 Shades of Grey

 

[PatrThom]

Star Wars: ASV
Star Wars: KJV
Star Wars: RSV

...if you think of them in terms of the trilogies, they probably foment just as much controversy.

--Patrick

 

[figmentPez]

I'd joke about "Star Wars: Chicken Soup for the Jedi Soul" but it probably already exists, and I can't bring myself to google and find out if it does.

Fan fiction, but there.
