The YLC (Why Little Chicago) thread

--- Quote from: Quaras on December 04, 2012, 01:11:12 PM ---Pure rambling theory based on the thread:
Book 17: Rabbit Hole
Stranded and imprisoned in time by the betrayal of his closest allies, Harry Dresden, has been searching for an escape route for over a year. His only hope for salvation rests with the most unlikely of solutions. Now he is trapped at 1/22nd of his natural size and stranded back in time inside of Little Chicago -- the experiment he had cast off and though abandoned years ago. But he is not alone -- something stalks the streets of Little Chicago -- and Harry will have to delve deeper into its mysteries before escaping the Rabbit Hole.

Like number of letters aside, this idea is pretty dang cool.
Quaras:
Sorry for breaking the naming convention. Rabbits Warrens just didn't have the same ring to it. I do think that there is a chance that Harry has to get transported back in time into LC. I tried to emulate the writing style of the Penguin blurb summarizers...

Maybe "Mouse Traps" or "Maze Rats"?

I agree, Rabbit Hole worked better as a name in every sense other than the artificial constraint of the number of letters. I couldn't do better myself.
Lets focus on the awesomness of the idea rather than the silly # of letters :) Harry falls down a fae rabbit hole and finds himself looking up at a sky that looks suspiciously like the roof of the sub-basement of his old appartment...
Even if Jim never writes it I'd love to see a fanfic based on this premise.

Title-wise, hare matches the number of letters but Jim is far too savvy to be persuaded into naming it Hare Hole. That would be waaaaayyyy too easy to make rude remarks about and besides, "rabbit hole" immediately taps into Lewis Carroll whimsy whereas hare does not.
Although actually, the character is the March Hare. He's not a rabbit.
And yes, Serack is right, we can enjoy teasing the wording of a possible title, but that ought not to distract us from Quaras' interesting concept itself.
