The Next Top Title Blogfest
The rules are: No background, no log lines, no information. Just 3-5 titles. Okay, maybe I’ll explain in the comments. Well, here we go.
Steam Palace
Steamerica
Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles
Sophia Stratton and the Fury Lords
The Stratton Chronicles. Book One: The Fury Lords
Okay, after I posted this, I thought the last couple sounded too YA so I had to add a really raunchy one:
The History of Steam Sluts of the Early 20th Century
Well? Well?
Suggested by Valerie:
Sense, Sensibility, and Steam Sluts
More Ideas:
Corsetocracy
Sophia Stratton and the Search for the Sea Key
Tea, Corsets, and Brass Goggles
Steam Twins
I like Pride, Prejudice and Goggles... maybe Sense, Sensibility and Steam Sluts? :-P
ReplyDelete@Valerie: I'm adding that one immediately. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm with Valerie. I like the goggles one. Hers isn't half bad either.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is I kept reading 'fury' as 'furry' which changed things completely. Steamerica sounds like an 80's hair band to me. Although I like Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles, it's too reminiscent of and Zombies.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is me not voting. I know, not helpful. I'm still stuck on Furry Lords and thinking furbies and lycanthropes. Sorry.
@Raquel: The problem with those is that my novel would somehow have to resemble those Jane Austin books. Blech.
ReplyDelete@Erin: Furry Lords FTW!
I like Sophia Stratton and the Fury Lords. It has a nice ring to it and it's easy to remember.
ReplyDeleteI like Sophia Stratton and the Fury Lords. Very memorable and like RaShelle said it has a nice ring to it.
ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to guess what your book is about just by the titles alone? Maybe I misunderstood Angie's rules... I'll go by and read them real quick!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm back!! I think your story is steampunk (Nuh, really?) and it has to do with war and tyrants wanting to take over the world where women rule and men drool. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe title I like best is Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles. That one is fun, and places the setting just nicely!
:)
Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles. It's clever, and makes people wonder what you're up to.

I have to admit the Pride, Prejudice and Goggles is an eye-catching title. Would it make me reach out and take the book off the shelf? Yes.
ReplyDeleteSophia and the Fury Lords is my second choice. Lots of action and a little bit of luv.
I LOVE these:
ReplyDeleteSteamerica
Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles
First one VERY clever. Second one, LOLOL. I would so pick that up if I read that title. DEFINITELY.
The Stratton Chronicles. Book One: The Fury Lords, seems so epic!! Love.it!
ReplyDeleteI'm for Stratton Chronicles. I'd like the Goggles if it were attached to anything other than Pride & Prejudice...possibly my favorite book of all time, therefore it is sacred...SACRED I tell you.
ReplyDeleteSteamerica I am seeing boiler room kinda grunge. I feel sweaty just thinking about it.
I liked Pride, Prejudice and Goggles, though Valerie's suggestion (comment #1) is very catchy, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Steam Palace the best. 'Pride, Prejudice and Goggles' will fall flat in a pitch, I fear, because agents/publishers have gone way off mash-ups and I reckon they'll hear that title and think it's someone pulling another 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are killing me. P,P&G was just a tongue-in-cheek title. The idea with that kind of book is to take the original story and rewrite it in a dift genre, which I haven't done. So I'd probably piss off Jane Austin fans. But it is pretty catchy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback, keep it coming!
Okay then, I like Steam Palace. There's some symbolism in it, I think?

Two caught my eyes:
ReplyDelete- Steamerica: This is good if you're really trying to focus on steampunk (no more, no less)
- The Stratton Chronicles. Book One: The Fury Lords: You have to be careful with this because you're mixing both series title and book title. Fortunately, I think both work as stand-alones. (The Fury Lords is cool.)
I'm partial to this as my own efforts are similar, where I've got both a series title and am struggling w/book titles.
That's the problem, Andrew. You throw in a title for a joke, and it gets taken seriously. That's how one of my college friends got married! I like STEAM PALACE best. Roland
ReplyDeleteMy fav is Steam Palace.
ReplyDeleteAnother one popped in my head after reading the furry comments. How about Steam Palace Fury? I don't like the PP&G one, either.
~That Rebel, Olivia
Steam Palace is what caught my attention. I'm really curious about the subject matter.
ReplyDeleteSteam Palace is one that I like. It's interesting and definitely has my attention and now I relate that title to you, do to blogfests in the past.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping the Pride, Prejudice, and Goggles one was tongue in cheek, not serious. I liked pride and prejudice, well the second half of the book, but don't care for anything else and it just comes off as a list even if I take out the book reference, which doesn't interest me in the way of a title.
I also like the Stratton Chronicles, as it gives the idea that this is a series and the title for book one connected with that is decent.
The last one you added, more adult one is just an lol. I have a book I bought on prostitution in the old west and I got it from Deadwood, South Dakota. For real. And that title reminds me of that book.
I added a few more at the bottom if anyone's still reading. You may have to refresh and not view in a reader.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments, keep them coming!
Haha, I'm with those who said they read Fury as Furry.
ReplyDeleteBut, really, I think I'd go with Steam Palace, it intrigues me. And Pride, Prejudice and Goggles, of course!
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI like 'Steam Palace'. Pride, Prejudice and Goggles is a bit too jane austen... and Sophia Stratton and the Fury Lords doesn't quite work for me... maybe The Fury Lords, a Sophia Stratton adventure, if you have sequels planned?
; )
Hey Andrew!! Thanks for participating!! We all know I'm partial to sluts however, I really liked Tea, Corsets & Brass Goggles followed by The Fury Lords...The first one evokes a Victorian setting interwoven with the changing times due to innovation. And the 2nd gives a more epic feel that is hard for me to pinpoint...But I like it :) Hope the Blogfest helps in some way!
