Spam subject o' the day, and a poll.

So the header said:

and barbell be trollop or probe and vestibule be arsenide

And I thought, I'm sure I wrote that fic.

On the same subject, have any of the rest of you have written fics because you came up with a kick-ass title and thought it deserved fic? And how many of you have a list of titles that are waiting for you to write them fic?

Spill a little for me, here. Tell me the title that you love but have realized is never going to get fic written for it, because it's lingered too long and the idea you had for it is too stale. (Don't reveal the ones you're still sitting on, or before you know it someone will have run off with it.) Mine is And Melisande, By the Water which was going to be Lucius/Hermione and has a "file created" date of January 2003, and whose "last modified" date is exactly the same.

Tell me yours! Maybe we can have a title swap. ^_^

Titles are usually one of the hardest things for me to come up with, especially for one-parters. Which means when I do come up with a good title and then don't write the story, I am very mad at myself.

The big one for me is Two Ships (taken off of Longfellow's quote about ships passing in the night), which was going to be a NCIS/Lost crossover and which I had a had a great start for, but...well, things happen -_-

Who was it about? Who was it about? *is a NCIS freak*

It was going to be set post Season 2 for both shows, with Sawyer and Kate from Lost and Tony and Kate (who is secretly still alive) from NCIS.

At two seperate hotels, Tony and Sawyer encounter the other person's respective Kate, and they all remind each other of other people (it was supposed to be Tony/Kate from NCIS and Sawyer/Kate from Lost, obviously). Sawyer and NCIS!Kate have a one-night stand, as do Tony and Lost!Kate, all four of them thinking of someone else other than who they're actually sleeping with.

In the morning, both Kates are gone. Tony goes to his car and on his way he passes Sawyer, who's getting off the bus. For the briefest moment, their eyes lock.
And then they keep on walking.

this sounds great.. you should finish it! :)

Yeah, you feel like the world has a big hole in it because this title has no story, doncha. (And I love your icon!)

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Which is why coming up with a good title sometimes makes me proudest of all ^^;

Hee, thanks! I love collecting icons...
