WIP Title Game

Tagged by @adsosfraser 🩶

Prompt: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

My docs are a mess and out of order but here’s a sample (there are unfortunately so many more that were cropped out so feel free to ask for something else):

I cannot tell you how deeply I relate to 'no plot just vibes' 🤣 What kind of vibes are we talking about?

hahah no plot just vibes is a whole ass vibe in itself. Basically it's 1200 pretty words of Henry just being in the brownstone and Alex moving in, and there's no plot just pretty words about them being happy and weird and adjusting.

Here's a taste of it!

Henry buys the brownstone in New York and moves in a few months later. It takes time, he finds out, to extricate himself fully from Kensington Palace, and time to extricate himself partially from the demands of being a full time member of his family. He is still responsible for certain meetings and charitable events that he’ll fly back to London for, but within three months of signing on the dotted line, he is moving into this grand house that he’s bought.  There are windows everywhere, and they let in so much light that it threatens to blind him. He’s never lived anywhere but KP. He’s never lived anywhere that hasn’t been made of crumbling stone and secrets, somewhere that didn’t have a scant, discreet amount of windows. He knows he should get curtains, that it is dangerous allowing this much of his life and his home to be so visible to the public. But he can’t bring himself to do it, not yet. He wants the light.

WIP Titles Tag!

I was tagged by @somebirdortheother (merci bien!)

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Finally a writing tag game I can do, because I have written nada since January and had nothing to offer for the other games. But I have:

a) one poor sad WIP that I haven't touched since last July, and

b) one idea that isn't even a WIP because it was born today and only exists in my head, and I just came up with a draft title for the purposes of this tag game. :-)

WIP file titles... here we go:

Happy STS, Kate!

At which point of the writing process do you decide on a title? How do you find one? Does it just come to you, or do you spend a long time looking for the right one? Do you keep projects under a WIP title before that point? If so, what's the biggest change between WIP and final title you've had so far?

Happy STS, Elli! Thanks for the ask!

Great question! It totally depends.

The Prince of Thieves came pretty quickly after Will was written into life for Whumptober 2022 day ?10? (somewhere around there, I think), and it was the title that shaped the way the rest of the story played out.

The Queen of Lies was lucky enough to have an established titling pattern that I wanted to fit, so I didn't have to work too hard. It also influenced the way the story went - I had to make sure Bree lied a decent amount so that the title continued to make sense.

The Curiosity Collector came to me pretty quickly, and it was chosen because I thought it sounded cool.

Book 1's title took a decade, and lots of thinking and researching and agonizing. Book 2's title might become Book 3's title and leave Book 2 back in the realm of untitled wips. help.

Fen and Freddie never got a real title. 😅

angsty heist wip's title came to me pretty quickly but involved lots of thesaurus.com time plus asking my husband for this opinion. It's also really the only one that has a clever, catchy wip title, lol.

I can't think of any major changes from wip to final title, but I can promise you that angsty heist wip is not called The Angsty Heist. Although that would be amazing tbh.

WIP Title Ask Game

thanks for the tag @cleverblackcat.

You know, I have a recollection of doing this game a couple of years back, and I daresay some of the WIP's in my folder remain the same as then 🫣

I'm going to mostly include new ones, and things that still frequently occupy my thoughts, otherwise I'd have to tag the entirety of Tumblr 😅.

Rules: reveal the titles of the documents in your WIP folder and tag as many people as there are documents. Let others ask questions about the ones that interest them and post snippets or explain the contents as you see fit!  

Yep, my WIP titles remain pretty basic. Got a few tentative titles, some placeholders, and then mostly just the pairing, because I would honestly forget titles anyway and not be able to find the fic I want to work on. Though I have started to sort my fics into sub-folders, by Exchanges/Events, One-Shots and Series. The Series are then further sorted by pairings, and that has certainly made it ALOT easier for me to find things. It was a nightmare before.

OK, you got me . . chicky nuggies? What is that one about?

Hi friend!

beloved chicky nuggies fic. Bestie @england-would-fall and I had an entire conversation one day about, what if Alex just wants to eat dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets and Henry is appalled. It's entirely fluff, and it's so sweet and I really need to get back to it because the ending is already planned out and it's adorable.

Have a bit!

"Wait. Stop. This is not chicken. I told you to get chicken.” Henry stares at the bag in his hand.  “It is chicken, it says it right there!” Alex points an angry finger at the word ‘chicken’ emblazoned in bold letters in front of them.  “These are dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, you absolute muppet! I can’t make stir fry with whatever-the-fuck a nugget is!” Henry is completely incredulous. That’s it. Alex isn’t even allowed in the grocery store anymore. “Who said they wanted stir fry? I want these.” Alex smiles, and he is so fucking cute but Henry is still baffled by the existence of these fried mechanically separated pieces of chicken that the man he loves wants them to consume, and so he doesn’t have time to find him cute.

Hello! I am intrigued by your "Entwined by Fire and Earth" on your tag game, please tell me more I love those two so muchhhhh

Hiya :)

I wondered if you'd seen that haha 😄 Entwined by Fire and Earth is something I started a few weeks ago, and it's about Gawain and Lancelot knowing each other as kids. I wrote it so that we got to see a little bit of Lancelot before Father Carden got involved, and how Gawain always loved the Ash Folk 😊 ❤️

ITS FLUFFY AS HECK haha

The Earth represents Gawain and Lancelot is the Fire (not very creative on my part lmao)
