Question of the day part 6
FrickingKaos:
I sometimes abbreviate my stories. Like Finding Carter I call FC but that could be confused for Fan Club. So I haven't thought about nicknames for any of them to be honest.

Because in all honesty when people only use letters to describe a story I seldom if ever know what people are talking about lol I'm guilty of it too. But when people use nicknames instead of just letters it makes life easier.
Like for me, I always just shorten my title like Why or Whatever or What Lurks lol

If a story doesn't have a name for a long time I may come up with a nickname and it might stick but I use the letters on twitter because of that whole 140 characters thing. If I had more characters I'd spell out my titles more often. If I do it on the forum it's because I'm probably in a rush.
mare:
I've always been bad with the letters thing. Like when everyone does it for song titles, besides IWITW whenever people post letters I'm always like uh... Yeah, okay whatever you say lol
Carter-Orange:
The only time I shorten the name of a story is when I'm talking to Lore about Unwinding Truth, which we shorten to UT, or one of the other stories one of us has written which can be shortened to two letters, lol.

I shorten my longer titles to letters lol. RMTW - Remember Me This Way, WOOMD - Walked Out of My Dreams (though that caused a lot of jokes between Julie and I about a Woo, M.D. and was why when I needed a doctor character in the fic it was a Dr. Woo lmao.)
