Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day

--- Quote from: julilly on June 08, 2012, 04:45:08 PM ---I actually just recently went back and read a few of my stories. The whole time I was thinking "I wrote this? Really?" It just didn't feel like it was something that had come from my mind.
I did enjoy them though, it was refreshing to go back and relive those story lines.

I never usually read back anything I've written, but I did recently and couldn't believe I'd written it, lol.

I'm so glad my first attempts at fanfic have vanished off the face of the earth! The first one I posted on AC was a story called Forces Of Nature, which is a bit cringeworthy as it's about a girl called Steph (LOL) who jumps into bed with AJ at the first opportunity. I've never read it back since posting it.
Erm, I suppose one which would show I've grown as a writer would be Rewind.

Todays question:
How do you come up with your story titles? Does the title come first or later on as you're writing it?
Carter-Orange:
Mine are usually song titles (but not always). Like with Save A Prayer, it's a Duran Duran song and the video shows them in a jungle, which is why I chose it. Rewind is a Paolo Nutini song I like which kind of inspired the story a little.
I usually think of the title as I'm writing the first chapter.
RokofAges75:
I can't start a story until I have a title, so that's one of the first things I brainstorm after coming up with a new idea. I get a lot of my titles from songs, too, mainly BSB songs. These days I prefer using something from the lyrics to actual song titles if I can help it, but I still use a mix of both. The titles I come up with on my own are usually short and simple.
