I don't even want to come up with a title for this post.

ARGH TITLES ARGH.

Yeah. I hate coming up with titles. Hate it like a hateful thing.

I'm seriously contemplating "Fraser and Thatcher Drag a Dead Guy Around the Arctic, with Comedy and Romance." Bah.

I'd read a fic with that title. All things considered I think I'd be more likely to read a fic with that title than a fic without that title.

Hmmm. You know, I was going to dismiss it as too silly, but after your comment, now I'm non-hyperbolically leaning toward "Two Musketeers and a Dead Guy."

Again that is a title that would inspire me to read the fic regardless of what it was actually about. Not sure if that's what you're going for.

Titles are horrid to think of, aren't they? I've spent all week trying to think of one for my fic, but I got nothing. If my beta can't come up with anything, I'm just gonna pick a song at random on iTunes and name it that. *facepalms* But, actually, Two Musketeers and a Dead Guy? I'd so read that.

While I am not sure what exactly happens in the story, reading this post the words "What comes around... again and again" kept going through my head. Why, I don't know. I think it might have something to do with Fraser lugging around a dead caribou in the series premier, though.

Dood. That is totally what I'm going for.

I'm fond of the "Distill theme of fic into one word, google literary quotes about that word, and steal with impunity from one that sounds good, often using the whole quote as an epigraph for extra pretentiousness" method, but song titles have their merits as well.

But, actually, Two Musketeers and a Dead Guy? I'd so read that.

Two Musketeers and a Dead Guy it is! (Actually, this has been really helpful, so thank you.)

[icepixie]

Hmmmm...interesting. I had forgotten the caribou. Although there's less physical lugging in this one...more lugging around via dogsled.

Then you have succeeded. I have a long history of randomly reading fic based solely on the title of the fic. I'll do this for fandoms I don't even like. Good job.
