Better Title - Bob Schroeck - 01-10-2003
"Holy, Holy, Holy... Cow!" is simply the working title I came up with, mostly as a gag, when I started laying out the itinerary for the Walk. I always intended to change it to something better, but to date, nothing has really occurred to me. If anyone wants to throw title suggestions up for consideration and discussion, here's the thread in which to do it.

"A Twisted Fate" (Play on "Twist of Fate")
"Good Intentions" (as in "The road to Hell is paved with ...." Not really sure if that'd work, since I'm not sure of the general story flow)
"Weaving a Tangled Web"
"For Goddesses' Sake" (Play on "For Goodness Sake")
"A Norn in Heaven Is Worth Three in "
Also, not a title, but a possible source of one: the title of the WB toon where Daffy is subject to torture by the artist (who turns out to be Bugs). I can't remember the name, but it might be a good jumping-off point.

All these are interesting and a few have definitely caught my eye. I have a year or so, I figure, before it becomes an issue, so I'm not going to make any hasty choices, though.
As a bit of side amusement, btw, let me note that the title for Chapter 1 is not a WB cartoon line, as DW2 has exclusively used (that actually sorta came about by accident). It is:

Hmm. I guess its just the Doug in me peeking out, but re-reading all of this suddenly caused THIS to pop into my head:
"The Loon of Heaven" or
"The Loon way to Heaven" or even
"The Loon of the Gods""I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Why do I have this horrible image of Doug being used as the template for imperial stormtroopers instead of Jango Fett.

Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when reading these. I have a laptop, 'snarfage' is more dangerous.

Old news.

How about "Clew-do"?
(After "Bushi-do"?)
I know this isn't really a practical title, but I thought woth mentioning...

Re: Better Title - Bob Schroeck - 05-12-2003
Isn't that the name of the British version of the game we call "Clue" in the USA?
And how does that make for a good title for DW5? I'm a bit confused.

Re: Better Title - Ace Dreamer - 05-12-2003
Sorry...
I thought "Cluedo" (sp?) was the American name as well...
My obviously failed pun was that a "Clew" of thread is
something that is rather important so those who spin,
weave, and cut...
And, Bushido is the art of the bushi, the Japanese warriors,
so Clew-do would be the Japanese art of the Three?
Then, there is the suggestion that Doug might start to get
a clue... In which case Clew-do would be the art of Doug
starting to figure something out about the Three while in
Japan...
Sorry, I should have figured out that I was really pushing
my luck with this one (something Doug would never do, of
course! [grin]).
Ah well.
Good luck with the writing!
