Titles!
Cyclone Jack:
I carry titles around. I've been carrying some around since childhood. It took me almost 20 years to find a piece of writing to call micropiece. I'm still looking for something to call The Laws Of Futility and Coyote Laid Low. My story Tessellation was originally called the rather clumsy Two Conversations, Up On Pond Creek. I had to change it because the story ended before the second conversation happened. :P
I named a friends novel. I also name cats and boats. My favorite of the latter was owned by a pal who equally loves fishing and logical debate. I named his boat (in a goofy story we were writing on a forum) Fishin' Ain't Fallacious and he liked it so well that he adoted it for his real boat.
LizW65:
I had so many unused titles hanging around that I finally created a filmography for a fictitious B-movie actor named Malcolm MacLeod. Some of my favorites include:
Cannibal Carnival
Ghoul Scouts
Don't Go Alone To Whitechapel
Blood Feast of the Zombie King (this one holds the Guinness record for bloodiest horror film ever)
Strip Club Party Massacre
Vampyromaniac!
The Texas Cheerleader Massacre
The Sensuous Strippers vs. The Flesh-Eating Monster
Vestal Vixens of Vesuvius (a sword-and-sandal spoof from 1971 with walloping dollops of psychedelia)
Not sure why I've posted this, I just felt like sharing with a group that would appreciate a bit of random weirdness....

If it wasn't about faking a Godzilla attack on a housing community that was being built so that project's insurance would scrap it and they'd be able to build a new themepark to compete with Disneyland...yes, that'd be perfect ;)

Mickey Finn:
It's a Chinatown rift, so it's a PI...although a rich one who does it because he's bored and wants to help. His brother's a mad scientist. His butler's a failed experiment...an ape body with a monitor for a head WHO TALKS LIKE THIS ON THE SCREEN. Giant mutant spiders roam the desert, and Area 51 is real. It's the atomic age of the 50's gone wild.
They're really characters who deserve a better story ;)
