The Title Game

Lillith1991 · Jul 18, 2014

This thread is inspired in part by the first sentence thread.

Rules: Give a short plot description/summary for a story idea, then wait for the titles to roll in. This isn't so members can get their work named, but more a fun excerise for our creative brains to enjoy.

I'll start us off: Magical beasts and beings were real in Earth distant past, and this is the basis of all our myths about them. When Archeologist Eve Marrina finds the first known skeleton of an Elf, she must protect it from the government, religious nuts, and other scientists. Because it just may be the key to saving the world as she knows it from destruction.

Secret of the Elves

The Elf Project

T J Deen · Jul 19, 2014

I'd call it 'Prima Materia' and add in more than just elves and include the formation of the universe and reality...Though that's probably taking it way beyond its intended scope.

I hope the OP doesn't mind if I switch to the a possible premise that someone can title...

An airborne virus has spread across the globe that kills off the adult population, leaving the juvenile population alone in the chaos. In the small town in the mid-west, sixteen-year old Rob Gardiner, a farmer and an older brother, is forced to step up to the plate to give his siblings and loved ones a chance to make it through the epidemic. Yet with the growing issues popping up in the small time can they, along side the human race actually survive.

YAY! Someone new who's gonna write just as ridiculously long, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-but-also-the-kitchen-sink stories as I do! *high-fives*

'My Brother's Keeper' or 'The Mark of Cain' -- was going for something that would both invert and insinuate what it means to be an older brother.

A lot of good suggestions already, but what about "The Meek Shall Inherit"? Or "Growing Pains"?

What about this premise: A girl is traded to the devil and has now been trained to be the perfect demon. But on a mission, she encounters a human whose difficulties in life resonate with her own. She screws up the mission, which kicks off a series of events where she has to decide if it's worth putting her own demonly life on the line to save the puny human.
